# Where to Watch Trigun

**The original Trigun streams on Crunchyroll, the 1998 sci-fi Western that made Vash the Stampede a legend. A gunman with a sixty-billion-double-dollar bounty on his head wanders a harsh desert planet leaving chaos in his wake, except he's a doughnut-loving pacifist who refuses to take a life. It's hilarious, and then it's quietly devastating.**

Crunchyroll is where to find the original Trigun, with subbed and dubbed versions of the full series. If it wins you over, the modern reimagining Trigun Stampede makes a fascinating companion watch.

## Synopsis

On a brutal desert world, Vash the Stampede is the most wanted man alive, a walking disaster whose mere presence seems to flatten towns and empty bounty hunters' pockets. But the reality behind the reputation is far stranger: Vash is a gentle, ludicrously soft-hearted pacifist who will do almost anything to avoid killing. As two insurance agents trail him and a past he'd rather forget catches up, the goofball exterior peels away to reveal a genuinely tragic figure wrestling with what it means to protect life at any cost.
