Summary

From the Dark Horse English back cover:

CAN VASH STOP KNIVES' MARCH OF DESTRUCTION?!
The tension in Trigun Maximum is getting to be almost unbearable! And not just the kind of tension supplies by Legato Bluesummer's [sic] freaky mind control. Knives' collection of plant brothers and sisters will cause widespread chaos and surely build his power beyond control, and the humans on the ground can do little to stop him. Not that he'll just have his way with Planet Gunsmoke^{see notes} ! Vash is in a squeeze, for sure but that's not enough to stop the altruistic human/alien with the superior flow!

Notes & Trivia

Errors

• The Dark Horse English back cover blurb has multiple errors:
  • The name "Planet Gunsmoke" is incorrectly used. The planet is called No Man's Land in the manga continuity. "The Planet Gunsmoke" is the name of a Kaiyodo toyline as well as the title of the cancelled PS2 game.
  • Legato Bluesummers' last name is either incorrectly spelled or has the apostrophe misplaced for the possessive form as "Bluesummer's".
