Trigun Stargaze, the conclusion to 2023’s Trigun Stampede, will air in 2026. A teaser visual of Vash, a combination of black lines and shading with a canvas of red, and several staff names were released with the announcement.
Among them is director Masako Sato, who previously helmed Haikyu!! To The Top. There’s also character designer Kiyotaka Oshiyama (Look Back director and character designer et al., Flip Flappers director), who was the special effects designer for Trigun Stampede. Oshiyama drew the Trigun Stargaze teaser visual.
Also revealed were series composer Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Flower and Asura), concept artist and original character designer Koji Tajima (Trigun Stampede), and story draft writer Takehiko Okishi (Trigun Stampede).
A conclusion to Trigun Stampede, the new, Orange-produced adaptation of Yasuhiro Nightow‘s Trigun manga, was first teased in March 2023. The Trigun Stargaze title was revealed in June 2024.
Crunchyroll describes Trigun Stampede as:
Vash the Stampede’s a joyful gunslinging pacifist, so why does he have a $$6 million bounty on his head? That’s what’s puzzling rookie reporter Meryl Stryfe and her jaded veteran partner when looking into the vigilante only to find someone who hates blood. But their investigation turns out to uncover something heinous—his evil twin brother, Millions Knives.
The Trigun manga ran from 1995 to 1997 before being followed up by 1997 to 2007’s Trigun: Maximum. It was serialized in Tokuma Shoten’s Monthly Shonen Captain magazine, while Trigun: Maximum was serialized in Shounengahousha’s Young King Ours magazine. The original series was initially compiled into three tankoubon volumes, with Shounengahousha later compiling it into two volumes. Trigun: Maximum has 14 tankoubon volumes.
In the past, the manga inspired a 26-episode anime series adaptation that aired in 1998 and an anime movie titled Trigun: Badlands Rumble that was released in 2010. These were produced by Madhouse and directed by Satoshi Nishimura.
