'''"LITTLE ARCADIA"''' is the fourteenth episode of [[Trigun (1998 anime)|''Trigun'' (1998 anime)]].

==Synopsis==
An elderly couple tries to protect their property, a lush, green geo-plant, from a greedy landowner with the help of Meryl and Milly.

==Characters==

==Manga==
This episode's story is adapted from the [[Trigun & Trigun Maximum|''Trigun'']] chapters "[[LITTLE ARCADIA (chapter)|LITTLE ARCADIA]]", "[[SON]]", and "[[RIVER OF LIFE]]". It follows the original manga fairly closely but with the following notable differences:

* In the manga, Meryl and Milly wear different jackets during the nighttime scenes.
* There is an old photograph of Badwick's family instead of a child's drawing in the picture frame.
* Morgan's henchmen in both versions feature returning characters, although they differ:
** In the manga, among [[Morgan's hired mercenaries|Morgan's men]] are two of the surviving [[Stan's hired mercenaries|mercenaries hired by Stan]] in the [[TRIGUN PILOT|pilot chapter]].
** In the anime, they are [[Inepril bounty hunters|the bounty hunter gang]] from the beginning of [[HARD PUNCHER (episode)|episode 5]].
* Badwick wears a helmet while riding his motorcycle.

==Notes==
===Trivia===
* The [[Monthly Satellite Times (STAGE-7)|Monthly Satellite Times]] headline for this episode reads "''An Oasis in The Desert''"
* Vash breaks the fourth wall in his final scene by turning to the camera and exclaiming "''Hey, is that all the time I get?''"<sup>dub</sup> as the frame shrinks and disappears cartoonishly. A similar fourth wall break happens in the [[RIVER OF LIFE|manga chapter]] this episode is adapted from.

=== Errors ===

==== Animation ====

* [[Badwick's father]] is inconsistently drawn with and without a mustache throughout the episode.
