Notes
- The unique opening credits animation for this episode were mistakenly used for all 26 episodes on the original English release by Pioneer Entertainment (USA). This was corrected on the 2006 Trigun Remix DVDs release by Geneon (formerly known as Pioneer). However, Funimation repeated Pioneer's original mistake on their first release of the series with the 2010 Trigun: The Complete Series DVD set and episode 1's opening was once again used for every episode. Later releases by Funimation, including their streaming services, have corrected this error.
- However, episode 2 continues to use episode 1's unique opening credits on all releases.
