Toma make a cameo appearance in the 2003 Gungrave anime. They are seen being used in place of horses in horse racing.

In episode 5, Brandon, Gary, and Widge are running a betting operation around these races. They are seen watching one of the toma races on television, with two of the racing toma being named "Michael Stampede" and "Black Chapel." These tomas' names appear to be references to Vash the Stampede, with Michael Stampede's gear and jockey's apparel having red accent colors and the number 3 perhaps being a nod to the series name Trigun as well as Vash's three guns; and Nicholas D. Wolfwood, with Black Chapel's jockey's apparel having a cross design on the back and the name "Chapel" being an alias used by Wolfwood in the manga.
