@@alix3314deeper, and more interesting, but anime knives is better because the whole point of the anime is we don't know his background. Some villians have tragic backgrounds, others are just assumed and likely aren't tragic. The point is we know men like Monev are victims of circumstances they didn't choose, and maybe Rai Dei or Dominique are too, and Legato clearly has a story. But we don't know, and can't know, and Vash never will. The life he saves could be a worthless human who chose evil at every turn, and the one who dies might have lived the hardest, meanest life of all, and we can't know beforehand. The irony of Legato is he has every reason to believe humans need to end, to stop. He is exactly the person Vash would want to save most of all, to show a brighter future. But Legato won't hear that, won't see that, and sees no reason to tell Vash about it. The people who needed saving the most are the people who are too far gone to save.
That explains a lot because when I first saw this scene when I was young I thought he just kill these guys because he felt they were disturbing him while he was eating
If you thought that was brutal, in the manga he makes a bunch of cops cram themselves into a transport truck until they literally crush each other into paste.
thats why midvalley is one of my favorite trigun villains (or possibly a fave in general), it's so funny how he just. hangs out and provides background music to legato. i like his writing better in the manga, he has more nuance to him, but his presence in the anime is unmatched and i hope trigun stampede does the same
Yes, Cole is right. Legato actually was the main villain for the most part of the Gung-Ho Guns Arc. The fight with Millions Knives (Knives) was actually for the most part a denouement for the character of Vash the Stampede (Vash) to show what he had learned.
They did have a fight in the manga, however, the final confrontation felt fresh and original. Instead of a predictable final showdown, legato forced vash to break his promise, and died with a smile on his face. It's one of the many reasons why legato is a better villain than knives.
It's ironic this VA played two characters who are complete opposites. Kenshin is a total pacifist who'd sooner kill himself then ever kill another person and goes out of his way to save any person he can. Legato meanwhile is about as cold and ruthless as you can get, showing no mercy or empathy to anyone.
@@russetwolf13 vash has vast powers besides his superhuman physical powers he also has psychic ability that he’s never used. His brother knives However, has full mastery of his superhuman and psychic abilities.

+Samuel Mason Not surprising. Living a life with no hope, constantly being raped and tortured can do that to you. He was made. Not born. Given his backstory. Slavery will always be personal to me and my kind.
@@ghoulsarefree oooo very good choices! Can't believe I had to double check who they are xD(like I said too many years n animes I forget lol) , but yeah definitely top villians also
Kind of odd that in the anime, Vash only has one singular power (make an arm cannon from the gun), yet Legato has way more powers including pyrokinesis by using Vash's transplanted arm which Vash never gets. In the manga, Vash has way more varied use of his Plant abilities while Legato only has one power that is actually his own and has nothing to do with Vash (microscopic wires that he controls from his brain).
Maybe Vash knows he has the powers, but wouldnt use it to control other's wills making it immoral. But there is the power he did that made a power reactor not explode.
Technically Vash has a variety of less obvious abilities. he has vastly increased strength, speed, agility, reflexes, senses and the like. That's one of the reasons why he never loses for the most part.
He is by far my favorite character. He coulda had a spin off. If I could assemble a team, it would to just go on a spree it would be Guts, Legato, and Jubei. What is he, like 7'3"?
Why a team? Alucard from Hellsing would be more than enough xD He is my all time favourite anime character, followed by Kenshin Himura and Sanosuke Sagara
@@Dee15gon He uses his mind specifically in the anime, but in the manga, he straight is an op doflamingo. His strings can control people faster than they can notice and has terrifying reach.

@@cameronanderson7399i thought the same lol 😂
Didnt Knives also forced him to perform cannibalism?
They picked the right voice actor to voice him.. quiet yet deadly
He reminds me of Griffith from Berserk. Quiet, but something off about him.
He is the voice of Himura Kenshin
His name is Richard Hayworth.
He voiced Himura Kenshin in "Rurouni Kenshin" and Apollo in "Cyborg 009"
@@nbm8758 Huh he gives way more of an Aoshi vibe but that's just from his voice acting in Trigun and I saw Rorouni Kenshin with subs

HUGE GUNFIGHT ERUPTS IN THE BAR:
“Woah, anyway so I kept saxing.” 🎷

🙏
Anyone else think legato should have been the main villain? He is just too cruel and sadistic to be a henchman.
+Tao Jones T.jones And this first scene where Legato massacres the Roderick gang expertly showcases his cruelty and ruthlessness.
+Tao Jones T.jones Legato actually was the main villain for the most part of the Gung-Ho Guns Arc.

He shouldn't have died the way he did either. Wonder what a fight between him and Vash would have looked like

Midvalley "The Hornfreak" is one cold saxophone player.

Kenshin is a total pacifist who'd sooner kill himself then ever kill another person and goes out of his way to save any person he can. Legato meanwhile is about as cold and ruthless as you can get, showing no mercy or empathy to anyone.
This scene alone got me hooked on Trigun.
Hell yeah bro :D
Kudos o the Saxaphone man who kept playing through all that shyt that what i call dedicated
He's a bad guy
@@joehand2156 But he is not a bad saxophonist.
Thats because he serves under Legato as a member of the Gung Ho Guns
Saxaphone man is one of Legato's goons
Midvalley is Legato's Right hand.
In the anime he has vash’s arm that gives him telekinesis, while in the manga he uses thin wires.
Whoa that’s a big difference 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Meaning they're straight up saying Vash can mind control people if he wasn't so attached to the humanity he doesn't actually have.
@@russetwolf13 vash has vast powers besides his superhuman physical powers he also has psychic ability that he’s never used. His brother knives However, has full mastery of his superhuman and psychic abilities.
If I recall, in the manga he is confined to a casket with a zombified handler
I always preferred the Anime's explanation since the Plants seem to have such dramatically different, secretive, and incredibly powerful powers that we sadly never truly get to see
I think deep down legato felt empathy for the slaves.
In manga he was slave himself.
He was a slave himself in the manga. This is one of the only times he ever shows any sort of empathy.
@@HeruruMeruru We don't have any reason to believe he wasn't one in the anime as well. It could fit in the narrative perfectly.
The same guy who voiced Kenshin Himura, voicing a mass-murdering nihilist? Damn!
That voicr actor has always been extremely talented. Even when he used to play as Kenshin.
Richard Cansino.
@@DWMCrasher98 Richard Cansino.
I was wondering why he sounded so familiar.
Damn! Dude straight beat the fuck out of that woman. This show can switch from funny to dark in like seconds.
Such is life
Such is life
1:44 this for some reason scares the hell out of me like midvalley knew not to play over legato he's genuinely terrified of legato
That Sax riff along with gunfire just makes it so much better
Legato will forever be my favorite anime villain. Pure evil.

@@Dee15gon 👀🤟
Actually not pure evil, twisted manipulated evil. Desperate and brain washed into finding hope as dark as it may be.
Greatest villain in the series without a doubt. And how he handled that all smoothly not giving a shit about them, dynamite character.
They are slavers what's to care about
Definitely the best
Legato didn't give a damn until they broke his fork
😮😊
And Midvalley just carries on with is horn like nothings going on
After all these years and hundreds of anime, still top 3 villian of mine
correct as the other two are yagami light and char aznable.

This is when trigun got dark
The guy playing didn't even stop during the gunshots, but he did when Legato began to speak.
He's with him
He's another of the gungho guns
Out of the gung ho guns the only one who the guns seem to actually fear aside from knives is legato midvalley is one of them

Thank you for uploading this whole scene in english.
i love the fact that the one gang members ask the one legato killed how he did it like he wanted to do that.
I'm still pissed we never got to see the real legato animated dude is a legit God in the manga
Always loved Legato. He was like an evil Professor X.
4:35 I thought this was pretty cool. Because of the Arm, Vash’s sentiment to help those in need rubbed off on Legato.
In the manga it was because Legato was a slave so he especially hates slave traders.
I wish I could be as smooth as Legato and have the confidence to down an entire cheesecake in public.
as has been mentioned before it's pancakes which we eat in USA
@@ghoulsarefree Ah. That makes more sense.
Kenshin just killed a whole bunch of people...
What's kenshin?
The voice actor plays the same characters
@@Dilandau477 bs Legato is not on another show

Alexandra H. legatos height ? hes 5'8
Swap Toguro for guts and you got a triple threat.

The bands like "eh, it's been a slow night anyway"
2:48 & onwards
**que "We're All in This Together" from High School Musical**
The same time I saw this on Toonami I just finished the PS2 game The Bouncer and I was like "That's Dauragon Mikado!!!"
I never heard of Dauragon Mikado
I just noticed he was playing the same song as he was in the battle with vash
Can't wait to see legato in the reboot. Also legato legit frightened Vash. Vashon wasn't even afraid of his own brother
He will always be my favorite anime villain and favorite male anime character.
His smile is so empty...
2020 and still a great scene
You can't hype yourself up like that, my guy. lol
2023 and still a great scene
3000 and still a great scene
2024 and still here@@lordvash
Knives is fine as the main villain. The Gung-ho Guns are just an elaborate pageant of suffering.
So Legato is an Esper! What a fearsome ability he has to control human minds!
I need his confidence
Been using this name since 1998 including hotmail... Most of my friends dont even call me by my real name and just the gamer tag Legato
Only on planet gunsmoke:
*gunshots*
*man is almost shot multiple times*
**JAZZ MUSIC CONTINUES**
Now that’s how you introduce a villain
"1:24" Most underrated shooter in Trigun
The music at the end reminds me of the submachine
this was when the show took a 180 turn from comedy to serious....shiz just got real
Vash and legato had many more battles than the anime shows
You did great work here
One of my FAV scenes
Ma boi legato just wanted to eat some Pancakes 🥞
3:10 The show must go on!
Wish we'd seen this scene in stampede coping in stargaze this scene will be brought back
Legato is so bad ass
He has similar powers of Don Quixote Doflamingo 😁
Legato uses his mind (or gaze). Doflamingo uses his hands.
@@Dee15gon He uses his mind specifically in the anime, but in the manga, he straight is an op doflamingo. His strings can control people faster than they can notice and has terrifying reach.
another fork please. this one is dirty.
Second best villain on the show, after Caine the Longshot
babygirl moment
2:27- Should I...feel sorry for you? you beat a defenseless woman, and now you think that anyone will give a shit about you? don't make me laugh...
Knives was a let down compared to Legato
I was expecting him to do jazz hands in the end.
Guile from Street Fighter got fukken rekt
They copied Doflamingo powers from Legato Blu Summers.
Damn, how tall is Legato? He's literally looming over the guy
Lagato might have been one of Knives crew but he has my complete respect for this scene
In the manga there was actually a pile of corpses right there.
Scary
iirc he made him pull his own heart out
i dont see evil in legato :)
there is only a pure sadistic barbaric JUSTICE! \0/
best villain!
Hard land need hard justice slavers are scum plain and simple boys renegade for life
