LITTLE ARCADIA is the fourteenth episode of Trigun.
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 Trigun volume 1, chapters 10-12. It follows the original manga fairly closely but with the following notable differences:
- Meryl and Milly wear different jackets during chapter 10 and 11's 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 are returning characters, although they differ:
- In the manga, they are the hired mercenaries from the Trigun pilot chapter
- In the anime, they are the bounty hunter gang from the beginning of episode 5.
- Badwick wears a helmet while riding his motorcycle.
Notes
- Vash breaks the fourth wall in his final scene by turning to the camera and exclaiming "Hey, is that all the time I get?" as the frame shrinks and disappears cartoonishly. A similar fourth wall break happens in the manga chapter this episode is adapted from.
Errors
Animation
- Badwick's father is inconsistently drawn with and without a mustache throughout the episode.
