Trigun Stampede Episode 8: Release Date, Speculations, Watch Online

Nicholas and Vash stop the ship in episode 7 of Trigun Stampede, titled “Woolfwood.”

The mysteries around everyone is getting deeper with every episode. The climax of this episode left us with a lot of questions. The anime has really piqued my interest into the world, and I can’t wait to explore more. 

Unfortunately, Nicholas failed to save Livio, who shot himself after a long battle. It was quite heartbreaking for Nicholas, but he still managed to save the orphanage. 

Here are the latest updates.

1. Episode 8 Speculations

The mysterious relationship between Vash and the PLANT will be explored and revealed in episode 8 of Trigun Stampede. The anime is getting more and more interesting with every episode, and I am sure we will get some highly interesting plot twists in the upcoming episode. 

We are yet to see the complete backstory of Vash and what the PLANT actually is. Other than the mystery, there isn’t much I think the next episode will cover. Vash will move forward to the city of July. I can’t wait to see what Vash is hiding.

3. Episode 7 Recap

The ship has gone off course and will crash into Hopeland orphanage. Livio and Nicholas engage in an intense battle while Vash goes on to stop the gang from causing chaos.

The Bad Lads gang have captured Meryl and Roberto and tells Meryl to take some photos of them. Vash shows up, wondering why she is there. Livio and Nicholas continue their intense gun battle and injuring each other. 

Nicholas gets the upper hand and is about to shoot him when Vash appears and stops him from doing so. He convinces Nicholas to bring Livio back to his senses. Nicholas is mildly successful, but Livio cannot get over his experiments and the mission he was sent on. So he shoots himself. 

Legato Bluesummers (the blue hair guy) gets frustrated because Nicholas can become the best disciple, and yet he is holding on to his emotions. Legato wants to destroy everything Nicholas feels connected to, so that he can return to Eye of Michael.

He starts controlling the Ion canon attached to the ship. Nicholas and Vash try to control it with the controller room, but the system is broken. The only way to stop the canon is by manually putting it down.

Vash and Nicholas go upstairs and instruct Meryl to launch the cannon when the energy reaches full potential. Vash uses the cranes to deflect the canon. The two of them try to push the canon by hand, but it is getting too late. 

When the energy reaches 100%, Meryl fires the canon, and it deflects, destroying it. Vash goes to the PLANT room, and Nicholas head to the engine to stop the ship. 

Vash pleads the PLANT to help him. Nicholas stops the engine, and the ship finally stops. When Nicholas, Meryl, and Roberto reach the PLANT room, they find the PLANT in a humanoid form and Vash close to each other and certain patterns on Vash’s face.
