This week on Trigirls: Vash's problems continue to escalate in episode 15 "Demons Eye" and episode 16 "Fifth Moon".

These episodes introduce the nefarious "Gung-Ho Guns", a gang of killers who exist solely to attack Vash and cause him suffering, operating at Legato's behest. Vash previously faced the first of their number, Monev the Gale, and this time, he faces Dominique the Cyclops at Jeneora Rock and E.G. Mine and Rai-Dei the Blade at Augusta.

Next week, we will be watching episodes 17 and 18, "Rem Saverem" and "Goodbye For Now".

This week on Trigirls: the plot is here! Folks, the plot has arrived in episode 12 "Diablo", episode 13 "Vash the Stampede", and episode 14 "Little Arcadia".

In these episodes, Vash comes face-to-face with a new enemy: the sinister, psychically powered Legato Bluesummers. Legato has sicced the mercenary Monev the Gale on Vash, and once the dust has settled, Vash and the Insurance Girls reflect on where they've been so far, shortly before Milly and Meryl get their own (mostly) solo adventure.

Next week, we will be watching episodes 15 and 16, "Demons Eye" and "Fifth Moon".

Content warnings for discussions of: child death and endangerment.

Another update! At the top this time because it's important. This week's episode was late because we were waiting on our hosting service to pull our distribution from Spotify. We will no longer be distributing our episodes there due to our disagreement with Spotify's policies on generative AI and their choice of ad partners. If you'd like to know more, Austin Walker and Jack de Quidt from Friends at the Table explain it better than I ever could. I also hope this doesn't discourage anyone from continuing to listen! As alternatives to Spotify for podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and Podcast Addict all come recommended.

This week, the Trigirls and Vash meet and get to know our first (alive) recurring character since episode one, the friendly yet mysterious itinerant priest Nicholas D. Wolfwood in "Murder Machine", "Quick Draw", and "Escape from Pain".

In these episodes, Vash, Milly, and Meryl leave the sandsteamer behind, making their way across the desert by bus instead. There they encounter Wolfwood, who helps Vash fend off killer drones. Later, he and Vash compete in a quick draw tournament, before he and Milly help a young couple in distress. Meanwhile, the Trigirls have their first hater moment.

Next week, we will be watching episodes 12-14, "Diablo", "Vash the Stampede", and "Little Arcadia".

All aboard the Humpback Class Sandsteamer the Flourish! The Trigirls and Vash make their way across the desert on board a combination train/cruise ship in "B.D.N." and "And Between the Wasteland and Sky...".

In these episodes Vash becomes embroiled in a train robbery/hostage crisis executed by the infamous Bad Lads Gang of bandits and their notorious leader, Brilliant Dynamites Neon. Along the way, he and the young boy Kaite help and hinder each other to save the lives of everyone aboard and preserve the sandsteamer itself.

Next week, we will be watching episodes 9, 10, and 11, "Murder Machine", "Quick Draw", and "Escape from Pain".

DOUBLE UPDATE:

1. We have started working on transcripts. The link to the transcript of the quiz show episode is now in that episode's description. More transcripts will be forthcoming and those links will be added to their respective episodes descriptions upon completion. For now, I've added a link to the transcript folder as a whole to our profile on RSS.com (our hosting site).
2. It's come to my attention that Imgur is not available in the UK. In light of this I've switched to using Google Drive to host the related screenshots for this episode. I'll be updating earlier episodes soon.

The Trigirls get their first introduction to Trigun (1998) with the first three episodes of the series: "The $$60,000,000,000 Man", "Truth of Mistake", and "Peace Maker".

Introduced to the hapless yet mysterious gunman Vash the Stampede, insurance claims investigators Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson tail him around the unnamed desert wasteland planet, trying to prevent the "Humanoid Typhoon" from stirring up too much trouble, a task at which they are basically 100% unsuccessful.

Next week, we will be watching episodes 4-6, "Love & Peace", "Hard Puncher", and "Lost July".
