Winter Anime "TRIGUN STAMPEDE" Act 2 begins! Episode 4 "HUNGRY!", a new development, preview video and synopsis are now available! The long-awaited new character "Nicholas D. Wolfwood" makes his debut!

The synopsis, advance scene cuts, and preview video for the fourth episode of the winter anime "TRIGUN STAMPEDE" have been released. In addition, an illustration contest on pixiv Sketch has started.

The name of the man, "Vash the Stampede," is a pacifist gunfighter with a very high bounty on his head who is determined not to kill. Yasuhiro Naito's popular gun action comic "Trigun" depicts a man nicknamed "Humanoid Typhoon" because he brings disaster to everyone he comes in contact with, as he faces the fate that has been set before him. The legendary original work has been reborn as a new original anime "TRIGUN STAMPEDE" produced by "Orange," a company that has produced high-quality CG animation that sets itself apart from the rest. It airs every Saturday from 23:00 on TV Tokyo and other stations, and is distributed every Saturday from 23:30 on various distribution platforms.
