Millions Knives, the twin brother of Vash the Stampede, was for me the big deal of "Trigun Stampede". He is more a central character in this adaptation compared to the 1998 anime, and both his motives and his plot against humanity are explored in more detail - but this new series also managed to balance his villany with empathy and distorted moraly, making his a more compelling and tragic villain without setting aside his violence.
Knives's theme is the most standout and prominent musical leitmotif in "Stampede" and is incredibly well done. Multiple times the character is shown playing a grand and imponent melody with piano, a piece that he was playing with Vash when they were children, and for this reason this instrument is mainly associated with him - but the melody is also rearranged with orchestra in some of the most climactic scenes of the series. Overall, this theme suites perfectly with the renewed portrayal of the character for this new adaptation of "Trigun".

    Millions Knives theme song really is so beautifully done. I always go back to listen to it.

    Soundtrack fucks gentle. Knives cuts hard. Vash cries much. Gate drains fast. And here I am, a Trigun fan since 1998. My favorite villain of all time. Above even Virgil. Based all my characters on Knives. Did you just shoot me?? Aaaaaah! Are you really aiming it at me again? Vaaaaash!!!

    I love how this version paints Knives akin to Lucifer, the anointed cherub (who developed a God-complex) and Vash akin to Michael--the archangel and protector of humanity. Knives' plot to impregnate the other Plants/ celestial beings and creation of the Gung-Ho Guns is uniquely similar to Genesis 6:1-2 in the Bible that lead to the creation of the Nephilim hybrids that were wiped out in the flood. AND EVEN MORE SIMILAR is Isaiah 14:12-14 & Ezekiel 28:14 where Satan declares that he will ascend God's throne and describes how hatred was first found in his heart. Revelation 12:7-9 describes the battle between Vash and Knives in episode 12. It'll be interesting to see how Chronica is portrayed in season 2 and if Earth is really burned up or it's a paradise that sends SEEDS out to harvest new planets with humanity. I love the biblical themes in this!!

    I'm just done watching the 1s and damn this remake is more faithful to the manga, and the ost are just marvelous!!

    i would pay top dollar to get a souls-like in the trigun universe. Guns and weapons that double as shields or melee enhancing tools like vash's gun being able to sit by his arm like a tonfa or Wolf having that big ass cross to use as a shield. Then add this haunting piano playing in some late game area where you meet MILLIONS KNIVES. I'd honestly help Knives. Being an independent plant must be a crazy feeling. wish there was a game that could replicate that feeling. After watching stampede i could just visualize an enitre souls-like action adventure. the world is perfect for that. we dont have enough games where guns are present but aren't like our ownn world where a few bullets kill you. powerful enough beings that can take bullets and need to be creatively taken down. Having something like trick weapons from bloodborne with the neo-western vibes mixed with sci-fi while finding tech from the colony ships, new clothes and armor to make your way through the vast world of TRIGUN STAMPEDE. I would play the heck out of this game if it existed.

    I was amazed by Knives story and background, when he explained the reason of his actions in ep9 or 10 (don't remember exactly), i genuinely started rooting for him, i mean like truly emphasized his action, his dream, until the end. I wanted him to win and finally gave his people a free life in a new paradise, that touched me very....very deep. He died and belived hes doing it for better, better for HES' people. He's amazing, i love this character, best way to go with this epic song❤❤ Thank you

    ahora puedo reconocer la parte de Vash, como un huracán, cálido como el sol que interfiere en la soledad fría pero hermosa y perfecta de Knives.
