Yet another trigun question thread, SPOILERS INCLUDED

[Mintaro]

SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS.


There now that EVERY ONE KNOWS, there will be spoilers. I can continue.

I have often asked myself the question "Is knives dead". I Have looked all around online, and even read through some of the dead pages discussing this very question. I have yet to see anyone bring up this as evidence.

At the ending, when Vash has bandaged Knives. Why is Knives's chest bandaged? I know Vash shot him in the shoulder, but shoulder bandages usually don't go across the chest. Besides the fact it looks a little low for it to be that, going in fact across where his heart would be (assuming his body is like a humans).

Just for the record I beleive he is dead. I just don't think Knives can be 'Saved' in the rehabilitating sense (and yes I have it in Japanese AND English). Plus in the ending credits shot of Vash holding Knives, Knives's eyes are closed (I used Zoom), plus he looks really limp.

Now for the sake of argument lets just say he is dead for a second. The question then arises why would he bandage knives? I think it would be so that he can give Knives a proper burial. After all we do the same sort of thing with our dead (well most of us).



Soooo...discuss. Oh and feel free to ask other questions too.
