Trigun Maximum Vol. 3: His Life As A...

By Yasuhiro Nightow

Wolfwood is hopping about from big fella's smashing fist, and Vash wonders if the big fella's actually conscious. Vash next demands Wolfwood stop, wanting to have him see reason. This allows big fella to set off a big explosion to show where his feelings lay. He's completely taken with the idea of making Vash 1 of his puppets for not being wholly human, anyways and is ofc, extra unique.

Meanwhile, Millie and Meryl are yelling about "The Thomases" going to the bathroom, all kinds, in a spot around the shed. Then it's given to Ninelives to strike next. Wolfwood is battering rammed by the large fella, who has endless stamina, so far. Wolfwood goes in for another blast from his cross gun.

Vash is walking in a field when a doll comes up on him, so he shoots it, a disembodied voice inviting him to approach. Wolfwood starts thinking the big fella could be immortal. Vash walks in on what seems like a group of smiling ladies, they drawing guns, but Leonof surfacing and shooting. An innocent victim, a girl is bleeding from her neck, laying on the ground.

Vash goes to her, as Leonof mocks him. Vash starts listing off names, and a lot of explosions later, Vash states Emilio the puppetmaster'd given away his weakness. After man explosions more, Meryl, and Millie are chatting about how lucky it is they located Vash at the hospital. He wakes up and the 2 greet him warmly.

Luida comes in as Vash's blaming himself for the trouble caused, Luida stating why this is incorrect, what with saving them from certain destruction. Luida also explains the enemy Vash'd been fighting had Ninelives, which seems like separate threats. They'd been able to contain 2 of the 9 in a cage, and would take over investigating further. Later on, as Vash's resting, Wolfwood comes by, Vash taking opp. to apologize and thank him for helping him save more people.

Once Vash'd recovered, he's walking around outside when he's called by Millie, Meryl with her, he wanting to show them a broken coin-looking piece he'd been holding. Wolfwood chats with a lady who knew Vash, since she'd seen when he'd been located near the crashed ship 70 yrs earlier and still looked 30. Vash'd lost his arm, but when he'd walked to a certain spot, healed quickly. After a bit, they realize the 2 in the cage'd gotten out.

1 of 'em goes after Vash and Wolfwood helps him out, he thanking him for saving him from the scary fight. The lady has a moment to chat with Wolfwood about how Vash puts himself through so much hell from friends, and enemies, and instead of healing himself of all his scars, which his immortality'd allow, he soldiers on. They see Vash smiling, still even after all the trauma humans share with him.

In the after comic, it's shared how the fake arm in this 1, is the
"angel arm". Cute installment!
