C'mon, Mom... buy me a gun!
What do you call that thing in your hand?
I mean a different one!
Forget it! Use the one you have.
Come on, Mom... I'll clean the thomas coop every day!
Come on, please?!
Please, please, please?!
"Vash the Stampede, The Humanoid Typhoon...
...Taken Down In Inepril City." Nice headline!
We did it! $$60,000,000,000!
This is great!
Now we'll be famous across the entire galaxy!
You're acting awful cautious. It's okay, he's dead!
Yeah, but it's him lying there...
Hey, girls! Don't look so glum!
We can have this restaurant rebuilt if you want!
Do you mean it?!
Damn straight! Each one of us is a multi-billionaire now.
What a relief! I was so worried about that.
You smell like a tomato!
It got dumped on me when I tried to scramble.
Can I bill you for dry cleaning?
No, but I'll give you something better.
A one-way ticket to Heaven!!
Such impatience...
Come on, let's not be so hasty! Let's talk it over!
Who the heck are you?!
Oh, self-introductions are so embarrassing...
But if I must, I am a hunter of peace who chases the mayfly known as love...
...or something like that.
I'll kill the bugger now!!
Don't do it, stupid! Do you wanna die?!
He just killed us all! The next time, he'll use real bullets!!
Shoot me if you want! Go nuts.
- What did you say...?! - Don't provoke him, hunter!
Give it up! Except for this guy, you all used up your bullets already.
How can you tell?
I counted.
Geez, it's not like I'm a highway robber...
Here. It really helped!
Thanks.
Wow!
That was very impressive!
Have you always survived without shooting like that?
Mm-hmm! 'Cause it's too wasteful!
For the price of one bullet, I can eat four hotcakes!
You're a strange one.
And you call yourself a gunman?
I really should change my ways!
I'm sorry.
Huh?
You are Mr. Vash the Stampede, aren't you?
I'm sorry. Please die without a fuss.
I'm sorry, Mr. Vash!
Uh? Oh...
Ma'am, half of the city is buried in sand!
Their plant probably broke down and stopped working.
Then they should fix it.
Do you know how much plant maintenance costs?
What?! Is it expensive?
This time, it's just like we were informed!
You're smiling, ma'am.
Huh?
N-No, I'm not!
Now, quickly! We have to confirm and prevent risks!
This time, we will find the real Vash the Stampede!
Is there no end...?!
There he is!! In here!
Oh, crap!
Shoot him!
- There he is! - We found you!
Do you mean me?
Get him!
Not again!!!
- That bastard! Kill him! - Where did he go?!
Everyone is so animated today.
Why does this happen to me, Maman?
I haven't done anything wrong, but everybody always picks on me, Maman!
But now isn't the time to be bawling in French.
There he is! He's up there!!
He's mine!
I can’t take it anymore!!
They're getting really heated up, ma'am!
We have to do something before the whole city is blown away.
But if they're this excited...
... it might really be him.
We're going to stop the riot! Come on, Milly!
Wait, ma'am!
Ma'am!!
OW!
It hurts like crazy all over!!
Who the hell used a grenade?!
They can’t identify him from a pile of pulp, you dumb ass!
This is bad! These people are out of control!
Your attention, please!
I am extremely sorry to disturb you!
I am Meryl Stryfe from the Bernardelli Insurance Society!
The man you are after, Vash the Stampede...
...is a dangerous man!
In order to protect your precious lives and possessions...
Message from Mission Control!
Temporarily suspend all pursuit of Vash!
Everybody proceed to base!
Suspend temporarily?! That's not funny!
Cease this permanently!!
What do we do now, Chairman?
The damage and casualties are just getting worse!
I can’t believe we still haven't got him after four hours...
Got him, nothing! He's managing to run away...
...without returning a single bullet!
He's too strong. If we make him mad, we're dead.
Chairman, perhaps we should stop this while the city is still standing!
That goes without saying!
Where is the man in charge?
Who are you people?!
Let me see the man in charge!
How could you omit such an outrage?!
You couldn’t take down The Humanoid Typhoon...
...no matter how many thousands of people you set on him!
Yes, the risk is very high...
...but we really need that $$60,000,000,000!
It's for the plant, isn't it?
That's right. Over half of the plant is unusable...
...due to a support system bug.
But if you mess with Mr. Vash and the city gets wrecked...
...you'll have more than the plant to worry about.
Oh, no...
It may already be too late.
I thought we should fight fire with fire, so I used our last resort.
What is our last resort?
That.
It's over. It's all over.
W-W-Who, what is that?!
The Nebraska Family!
Who parked this car here?!
You wanna trip my son or what?! Move it, now!!
Damned ignorant drivers!
Let me borrow that!
What are you doing here?!
Both of you are supposed to be looked away for 700 years!!
Shut yer trap!!
We released ourselves for good behavior yesterday!
Th-That's called a jailbreak!
Too bad, I was getting quite fond of the quiet life, too!
But who can lie idle knowing that $$60 billion is there for the taking?
Right, Gofsef?
The Nebraska Family...
...felons of over 150 Class A offenses...
Hey!
Don't tell me you plan to sic that big man on him.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
It's unforgivable!
Why does every situation we run into always take the worst possible turn?!
We caught Vash the Stampede!
Huh?
We caught Vash the Stampede!
Eh?
Maybe they've all given up.
I'm alive again!
Don't move!
Oh?
Oh.
Sandy, go and tell Control we've caught Vash the Stampede!
Right!
Be quick!
Bounty hunters in aprons?
Wouldn't want children to see this.
That's right, we don't want them to see this!
But we desperately need money!
I have a son lying sick at home.
But the doctor took off and abandoned this dying city!
There's no one left in this city I can take him to!
That's why, I... I...
Everyone and everything went wrong after the plant malfunctioned!
But not everyone is rich enough to leave the city!
We need money to call the engineers to fix the plant!
If we don't fix it, this city is through!
Along with everyone in it.
Your sacrifice can save this city.
So please let us take you in!
Don't move!
I understand your situation well...
...but...
Please, don't move!!
Until I see him...
...I...
...have to keep moving!
Please...
...don't make me shoot you.
Please.
Everybody, down!!
Over there...
Ma'am!
Vash the Stampede is over there!
Bingo!
It was so easy! Too easy!
Are you sunk after only one shot?
That's funny! That's so funny!
Where is Vash the Stampede?
What the...?
That's him. The Devil's helper...
... who reduced one of the great cities to ashes!
The legendary outlaw, Vash the Stampede...
... is just over there.
Th...
That...
That can’t be!
Now that's more like it!
Hey... Why is everybody getting the wrong idea?
That can't be him!
Vash the Stampede is a horrible fiend.
If you get in his way, he can destroy cities...
... and get out of the worst situations imaginable!
Even if it hails bullets on him... Even if he is against 1,000 men...
... he will emerge without a scratch.
That's... That's who...
What now, Vash the Stampede?
That's...
...Vash the Stampede!
What's the matter, buddy boy? You chickening out?
You're a real nice guy.
Time's up!
Throw the fear of death into him, Gofsef!
Mommy!!
That damned Nebraska is a loose cannon!
I don't want any fatalities...
How could you?!
Aw, you're doing just fine!
I was hoping you'd ditch the woman and save your own skin!
Mr. Vash isn't that sort of a person!
Come to think of it...
So you won't kill, no matter what?
You're disgusting!
However, that makes you a hypocrite!
I know at some point you've killed those who gave you a hard time.
How do I know?
Because you haven't yet had your turn to be killed!
The $$60,000,000,000 reward on your head is proof!
What do you say to that?!
Vash the Stampede!
Why won't he say anything?
Why is he taking that kind of abuse?!
So you're finally ready to fight!
Oh, you wanna draw?
It's pointless, no matter what caliber pistol you use!
You can’t stop a car ramming at 120 miles an hour!
You've felt it twice already! Even your measly brain can realize...
...that my son's fist is a force to be reckoned with!
This is your last chance to run! Although, no matter how fast you run...
...the next thing you know, you'll be in tiny pieces!
Now pay attention, for I am about to lecture you...
...on just how much of a fool you really are!
Using this!
My Human Mincemeat Special Course!
Go help them, quick!
And then die in the most humiliating way!
No way!
He changed its course!
That was great!
He veered off my son's fist with six bullets!
Not quite.
I have one left. It's a special one.
What?!
Ma'am, ma'am! He really beat him!! I don't believe it!!
And he did it with only six bullets!
Suddenly it's very clear to me...
...why he's called The Humanoid Typhoon.
It's him...
He's the real...
...Vash the Stampede!
You're amazing!
I'm not amazing.
I'm not amazing at all.
It ain't over yet!
Wha?
That's twice you've saved me today!
Don't ignore me, you!
D-Don't think you've w-won, e-even for a s-s...
Let's call it quits already!
After all, this land is made of...
...love & peace!
Love & peace! Love & peace!
Love & peace!
Again!
W-What is he d...
Ma'am! Our report, our report!
Uh?
Report.
4 months and 12 days after receiving our orders...
...we achieved contact with our target, Vash...
...contact with our target, Vash the...
...the...
No! This can’t be real!!!
Now, everybody join along!
Love & Peace!!!
