Story

The album booklet includes a summary describing an alternate, non-canon version of Trigun. It takes place in modern-day Japan with the main characters as high school baseball players.

The main character Vash the Stampede was born and raised in Sakai, Osaka. He entered Trigun High School and joined the baseball team, where he meets newcomer Nicholas. At the beginning there's animosity between them, but in time the two develop a powerful battery* with great chemistry. They lead the small and ineffective baseball team to the Koshien tournament, when tragedy strikes -- Nicholas suffers from an incurable illness. Their wish comes true and Stampede is now on the pitcher's mound at Koshien. But without his partner Nicholas, he is not at his best, and the situation is looking dire. At the end of the 9th inning, no outs and bases full, the next batter up is the cleanup hitter Millions, Stampede's enemy. As Stampede bites his lips, out of nowehere the Black Cat, which escaped from the hospital, appears in front of him... To be continued.

[*A unit consisting of a pitcher and a catcher]

A near-future cyber-gun action drama, a refreshing and youthful portrayal of Stampede and his friends.

-Geneon English translation
