Origin
The series was first published by Yasuhiro Nightow in April of 1995 where regular serialization commenced until it was cancelled early in 1997.[1] Where Nightow later approached publisher Shōnen Gahōsha in favor to continue the story under a new name called "Trigun Maximum" in their magazine, Young King Ours later that year. Maximum continued off two years after the first series, but in a more serious tone in favor of the demographic change from shonen to seinen. The series was later adapted as a 26 episode anime series produced by Madhouse in 1998 & a movie, Trigun: Badlands Rumble in 2010. Twelve years after the anime ended. An English dub was later produced in early 2000, and made it's North American premiere on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block in March 2003.
