The official website of Trigun also shared a short synopsis of the series and revealed the setup of the upcoming anime. Trigun Stampede will take place in a land far away from the Earth where five moons shine and the few surviving humans live on a special plant, which acts as a bio-powered reactor that could create all matter from the starch. In this harsh world, there’s a man named Vash the Stampede with a bounty of $6 million on his head, and anyone who tries to get involved with him is sure to face death.
