This week on Trigirls: Everything at last must come to an end as Vash nears his final confrontation with his brother, Knives in episode 25, "Live Through", and episode 26, "Under the Sky So Blue".
In these episodes, Vash recovers from his bout with Legato, struggling to reconcile his pacifist ideals with the fact that he has now knowingly, willingly, taken a human life. With help from Meryl and Milly, he collects himself and chases after Knives, all while reminiscing about the last years they spent together in the wake of the Big Fall.
Next week, we will be watching...nothing! It's our Trigun '98 wrap up episode where we discuss the show as a whole and our thoughts moving forward compared to our thoughts going in. Fear not, however. Trigirls isn't going anywhere anytime soon. For episode 13 of our show, we will be reading the first volume of the manga, Trigun (1995), chapters 0-12. Feel free to locate a copy at your leisure. Following along is no longer optional--the manga is peak!

This week on Trigirls: Vash returns from his voluntary exile and takes Wolfwood home to meet his family in episode 19 "Hang Fire", episode 20 "Flying Ship", and episode 21 "Out of Time".
In these episodes, in an effort to catch Typhoon Jacqueline, the Humanoid Typhoon gets embroiled in a feud between the Polo and Fris families. Once swept up in the typhoon, Vash and Wolfwood arrive aboard the flying ship, still in low orbit from the Big Fall nearly 150 years prior, where they and the ship's denizens must contend with the threefold threat of Leonof the Puppetmaster, Hoppered the Gauntlet, and Gray the Ninelives.
Next week, we will be watching episodes 22-24, "Alternative", "Paradise", and "Sin".

This week on Trigirls: Vash's problems continue to escalate in episode 15 "Demons Eye" and episode 16 "Fifth Moon".

Vash previously faced the first of their number, Monev the Gale, and this time, he faces Dominique the Cyclops at Jeneora Rock and E.G. Mine and Rai-Dei the Blade at Augusta.
Next week, we will be watching episodes 17 and 18, "Rem Saverem" and "Goodbye For Now".

This week on Trigirls: the plot is here! Folks, the plot has arrived in episode 12 "Diablo", episode 13 "Vash the Stampede", and episode 14 "Little Arcadia".
In these episodes, Vash comes face-to-face with a new enemy: the sinister, psychically powered Legato Bluesummers. Legato has sicced the mercenary Monev the Gale on Vash, and once the dust has settled, Vash and the Insurance Girls reflect on where they've been so far, shortly before Milly and Meryl get their own (mostly) solo adventure.
Next week, we will be watching episodes 15 and 16, "Demons Eye" and "Fifth Moon".

Another update! At the top this time because it's important. This week's episode was late because we were waiting on our hosting service to pull our distribution from Spotify. We will no longer be distributing our episodes there due to our disagreement with Spotify's policies on generative AI and their choice of ad partners. If you'd like to know more, Austin Walker and Jack de Quidt from Friends at the Table explain it better than I ever could. I also hope this doesn't discourage anyone from continuing to listen! As alternatives to Spotify for podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and Podcast Addict all come recommended.
This week, the Trigirls and Vash meet and get to know our first (alive) recurring character since episode one, the friendly yet mysterious itinerant priest Nicholas D. Wolfwood in "Murder Machine", "Quick Draw", and "Escape from Pain".
In these episodes, Vash, Milly, and Meryl leave the sandsteamer behind, making their way across the desert by bus instead. There they encounter Wolfwood, who helps Vash fend off killer drones. Later, he and Vash compete in a quick draw tournament, before he and Milly help a young couple in distress. Meanwhile, the Trigirls have their first hater moment.
Next week, we will be watching episodes 12-14, "Diablo", "Vash the Stampede", and "Little Arcadia".

DOUBLE UPDATE:
We have started working on transcripts. The link to the transcript of the quiz show episode is now in that episode's description. More transcripts will be forthcoming and those links will be added to their respective episodes descriptions upon completion. For now, I've added a link to the transcript folder as a whole to our profile on RSS.com (our hosting site).It's come to my attention that Imgur is not available in the UK. In light of this I've switched to using Google Drive to host the related screenshots for this episode. I'll be updating earlier episodes soon.Featuring Stella-Jude (they/them), Maggie (she/her), and Cassie/Moose (she/they/it)

The Trigirls get their first introduction to Trigun (1998) with the first three episodes of the series: "The $$60,000,000,000 Man", "Truth of Mistake", and "Peace Maker".
Introduced to the hapless yet mysterious gunman Vash the Stampede, insurance claims investigators Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson tail him around the unnamed desert wasteland planet, trying to prevent the "Humanoid Typhoon" from stirring up too much trouble, a task at which they are basically 100% unsuccessful.
Next week, we will be watching episodes 4-6, "Love & Peace", "Hard Puncher", and "Lost July".
