Corresponds with anime episode(s):
Chapter zero – Elizabeth’s flashback in anime episode six, “Lost July”
Chapters one through three – anime episode five, “Hard Puncher”
Chapters four through seven – anime episode seven, “B. D. N.”
Major differences:
There are no glaring differences in the manga storyline that was shown. However, it should be noted that anime episodes one, two, and six (“The Sixty Billion Double-Dollar Man” “Truth of Mistake” and “Lost July”) are filler that’s original to the anime. I believe episode three, “Peace Maker”, shows up in some form later in the manga, but not so far, so just go with it. Vash's dream of talking to Rem was moved to "Diablo" and replaced with a kind of generalized Rem-babble thing.

Corresponding anime episode(s):
Chapters eight and nine – anime episode eight, “So, Between the Wilderness and Sky…”
Chapters ten through twelve – anime episode fourteen, “Little Arcadia”
Major differences:
Once again, no major differences. But these chapters mark the start of the timeline problem – things got shuffled around for the anime. Chapters ten through twelve occur in the anime after a good deal has happened that comes later on in the manga, such as the introduction of the Gung-Ho Guns and the appearance of one Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Also, both episode ten and episode eleven of the anime, “Quick Draw” and “Escape from Pain” respectively, are anime-only filler. Even though "Quick Draw" ruled. BDN forgot to ask Vash about July in the anime. The plant isn't shown until much later, in "Out Of Time".
[/size]Volume 2
Chapter 1: Blood and Thunder
- Legato appears in a town square (the famous hotdog scene)
- He informs Vash he’s the servant of Knives and tells him about the twelve Gung-Ho Guns and the twelve coin-halves
- Legato disappears, leaving behind a paper bag containing the shoemaker’s head
- Legato visits a mystery person training in a cellar
Chapter 2: Diablo
- Vash is put in jail for Legato’s murder of the shoemaker, as no one even saw him
- He remembers talking with Rem on the SEEDS ship, looking at the room full of cold sleep capsules, the crash and Knives’ confession of sabotaging the mother ship
- Monev the Hurricane Gale, Gung-Ho Gun number one, arrives, blowing the jail to pieces and accidentally freeing Vash from his cell
- As the fight starts, Monev realizes it’s going to be harder than he thought
Chapter 3: Fragile
- Vash shoots at Monev, disabling one of the machine guns on his arm
- Vash loses his prosthetic arm
- Flashback to Knives explaining why he sabotaged to navigation system right after the crash and Rem reversing the thrusters on the ships carrying people to save them

- Vash leaves town only to find Monev dead and spiked to a giant stone cross in the desert
- The second Gung-ho Gun, E.G. Mine, arrives and gets knocked out within five minutes
- Vash sees Legato watching from a cliff overhead and yells, “From now on, I’m hunting you!!”
Chapter 5: Slaughter café
- The Roderick (a.k.a Roadwreck) slave trader gang enters a saloon in Jeneora Rock where Legato is eating
- They try to start a fight with him and only succeed in making him mad
- Legato mentally forces the gang to kill each other
Corresponding anime episode(s):
Chapters one through three – anime episode twelve, “Diablo”
Chapter four – the “Vash’s scars” scene appears in episode thirteen, “Vash the Stampede” (see “Major differences”)
Chapter five – the slaughter of the Rodericks appears in episode fifteen, “Demon’s Eye”
Major differences:
This is when things start to get messy. “Diablo” was pretty accurate, aside from revealing Vash’s second gun too early, but everything else was a little mangled. To start with, Vash’s confrontation with E.G. Mine, all five minutes of it, was moved to episode sixteen, “Fifth Moon”. Also, although Monev was killed by E.G. Mine in the anime, he wasn’t responsible for the death of Dominique, as you’ll see later. “Slaughter café” was inserted into episode fifteen, “Demon’s Eye”, because they removed an important manga scene so the anime storyline would make sense. The “Vash’s scars” scene from chapter four was given its own episode and morphed into a recap, with Meryl’s report providing a setting. The coin halves thing wasn't used in the anime, probably because Vash didn't meet all the Gung-Ho Guns personally. Monev gets to keep his right eye. Vash's vision of Rem is changed to the dream he had on the sandsteamer in the manga, where he's talking to her about his dream. Vash's arm isn't torn off in the anime, so we learn that it's fake through the gun. All of his flashbacks to the S.E.E.D.S ship were moved to "Rem Saverem", episode 17.
Chapter 6: Gathering of the Devils
- The bus Millie, Meryl and Vash are riding to Jeneora Rock stops to pick up someone stranded in the desert: one Mr. Nicholas D. Wolfwood, traveling priest!
- Meanwhile, the rest of the Roderick gang show up in Jeneora to avenge their boss’s death at Legato’s hands
- The gang finds him, and Legato orders an invisible someone to “kill half of them”
- The bus stops in Jeneora Rock and it’s time for the famous portable confession! Also, Wolfwood has bus fare problems, but still has enough to give change to pickpockets
- The invisible people turn out to be the long-awaited Gung-Ho Guns
Chapter 7: Eye of Invisibility
- The Gung-Ho Guns sound off for Legato: Gray the Ninelives, Dominique the Cyclops, Zazie the Beast, Leonof the Puppetmaster, Hopperd the Gauntlet, Rai-Dei the Blade and Midvalley the Hornfreak
- Legato observes that “Chapel seems to be missing…”
- Wolfwood departs and Vash meets Dominique the Cyclops, Gung-Ho Gun number three
- At the same time, Wolfwood enters the church at the peak of Jeneora Rock only to be attacked by gunmen
- Vash gets control of his senses through the pain in his finger and shoots Dominique’s eyepatch
Chapter 8: Fifth Moon
- When Wolfwood defeats the gunmen, Legato appears and asks if he is “Chapel, correct?” Wolfwood’s stare seems to be affirmative
- Dominique gives up and throws herself off Jeneora Rock rather than face Legato with her failure
- The “Doctor” arrives at the church (the rest of the Gung-Ho Guns are here by now) with the news that they must revive Knives today
- Wolfwood realizes that there’s no way out of the Gung-Ho Guns now
- A pregnant plant gives birth to Knives (he’s a grown man, but the plants are pretty big, I suppose…nudity alert)
- Vash senses Knives and wakes up in the middle of the night, rushing to the church
- Legato orders the Gung-Ho Guns to kill Vash, but Knives has different ideas and disciplines Legato by smashing his head down to his feet (?!)
- Knives forces Vash’s Angel Arm and he blows a hole in Gunsmoke’s fifth moon
Corresponds to anime episode(s):
Ugh. Just see “Major differences”.
Major differences:
My head exploded just trying to think of a way to explain this one. But I’ll try…*deep breath* Okay, Wolfwood’s introduction appeared in anime episode nine, “Murder Machine”, but it obviously shows up later here. The second Roderick gang mass murder was also in episode fifteen, “Demon’s Eye”, with the previous one. Also, that was the episode containing Dominique the Cyclops, who simply ran away in the anime, to be killed by E. G. Mine later, whereas she committed suicide in the manga. Note that her eye had a red pupil in the anime but was a reptile eye in the manga. The reason that the Roderick incident was shoved in with Dominique was probably because they removed the scene with Wolfwood and Legato meeting in the church, which was meant to reveal that Wolfwood was Chapel, something that wasn’t true of the anime.
This brings us to the two most complicated issues in terms of sheer re-writing: Nicholas D. Wolfwood’s relationship with the Gung-Ho Guns and the Fifth Moon incident. As most of you know, the anime episode “Paradise” (number twenty-three) explained anime-Wolfwood’s past, naming a Gung-Ho Gun known as Chapel the Evergreen as his mentor and guardian. Later that episode, he was killed by Chapel while he was under Legato’s control. These are some big changes, to say nothing of his little “sandwich-eating session” with Millie, which I’d prefer never to speak of again. As it currently stands in the manga, this Gung-Ho Gun doesn’t exist; that is, the man with red glasses and the hat doesn’t. Because, you see, Nicholas D. Wolfwood is Chapel the Evergreen. Plus, he doesn’t die (the man who killed him doesn’t exist) and he barely knows Millie’s name.
The Fifth Moon Incident occurred in anime episode sixteen, unsurprisingly titled “Fifth Moon”. The anime events went something like this: Vash meets E.G. Mine, who has killed both Dominique and Monev and spiked them to a building in empty Augusta. Rai-Dei the Blade (seen later on in the manga) arrives before the fight progresses very far and promptly kills E. G. Mine. Before their fight can get very far, Legato uses his mind-control powers to force Vash’s Angel Arm, blowing a hole in Gunsmoke’s fifth moon. Afterwards, Vash has disappeared; Wolfwood rides in on his motorcycle and shoots Rai-Dei for no reason. Then we pick up with episode seventeen, “Rem Saverem” next time. Obviously, this is a tiny bit different than the manga events. Personally, I thought the anime version seemed a little unstructured.

[size=mediumsize]Volume 1
Chapter 1: Hero Reborn
- Wolfwood enters a town supposedly being held hostage by Vash the Stampede
- A man named Eriks bursts into the saloon dragging a 12-year-old girl named Lina; he’s protecting her because she made one of “Vash’s” thugs mad
- The thug (a pig-man) calls for Lina to come out, but Eriks comes out instead

Corresponds to anime episode(s):
Chapter one and two – anime episode eighteen, “Goodbye for Now”
Chapter three - doesn’t appear in anime
Major differences:
"Goodbye For Now" was pretty much the same, but for some reason, they decided to omit the Vash look-alike and make the townsfolk dim enough to believe the pig-man was Vash. Personally, I think that's a bit of a streach. Vash's hair refuses to change color like it's supposed to. The sequence of events was moved around a little, but it doesn't really matter.
As you may have noticed, the entire Keele story didn’t appear in the anime. They instead chose to reintroduce Meryl and Millie in “Hang Fire”. Also, the scene in “Hang Fire” where Vash and Wolfwood fight over spaghetti (heh heh) was originally at Lina’s grandmother’s house in chapter two.
Chapter 4: Hero Returns
- 150 years ago, the SEEDs ships crash into Gunsmoke; Knives swears in front of Vash that he’ll wipe out all the humans
- Wolfwood comes to visit Vash in his hotel room, where he’s been training with his gun
- He tells Vash about the feud between the Polo and Fris families in the town their visiting and suggests they leave before they get caught up in it
- A tall man named Brad and a short bald old guy he calls Sensei ride into town on the Orcha-class steamer “Mubra”; they meet Vash and we find out they come from Vash’s home “city” to visit him
- Sensei gives Vash new gear and we learn Brad greatly distrusts Vash because he’s “one who lives outside of time”
- Suddenly, the Fris family rams a armored car into a sandsteamer that Shindan of the Polo is riding on; they take hostages
- Wolfwood and Vash argue over whether they should help/interfere and Vash decides to create a distraction
Chapter 5: Dancing Revolver
- Vash remembers Rem showing him a geranium as a child and telling him it represents “determination” in the language of flowers
- Vash is busy “distracting” by singing his famous Genocide Song
- He busts into the steamer and takes some people down, but gets cornered behind a wall
- Vash gets out of this situation by shooting the luggage racks so all the luggage falls on the Fris family
- One of the Fris family, an old man, refuses to release his hostage because he’s the man who killed his daughter
Chapter Six: Sin
- Vash thinks of Rem and realizes the old man's situation is not all that different from his; he lowers his gun
- The man begs for his life and the old man asks him if he remembers how his daughter begged

- The old man hears his hostage calling for his father
- The scene cuts to after the indcident; it appears the old man wasn't able to kill his hostage
- Sensei explains to Brad how Vash considers everyone "kin" so he has to help in all situations
- Later that night, Wolfwood breaks Vash out of jail and they give the old man a lift out of town ^^;;
- The sheriff turns out to be one of Leonof's puppets, and another puppet tells Legato, "There is no mistake. Vash the Stampede has resurfaced."
Corresponds To Anime Episode(s):
Flashback in chapter four - anime episode 19 "Flying Ship"
Chapters four through six - anime episode 18 "Hang Fire"
Flashback in chapter five - anime episode 19 "Flying Ship"
Major Differences:
Sensei showed up a little late in the anime, making his appearence on the ship in "Flying Ship". Vash puts off recieving his new coat, so he wears a plain shirt during this episode, "Hang Fire". Vash is not put in jail, so there's no need for a rescue. I personally thought that he looked significantly more beat up at the end of "Hang Fire", but that might be just me.
Volume 2

- A convict is sent by a local town to check out the Goodman manor because troops that were sent in weeks ago haven't come back
- Midvalley and Grey are sitting outside the manor when Convict winds up his boomerang
- The manor is demolished, but Grey grabs Convict and kills him with the boomerang (*splat*)
- Midvalley kills a couple of troops with some kind of wave from his saxophone (*thwack*) and Hopperd the Gauntlet arrives in dramatic fashion

- During a short break, Rai-Dei informs Vash that the GHGs now know the location of his "secluded home"
Chapter Three: Samurai Showdown
- Watching the other two set up for a fight, Wolfwood thinks about the reasons the GHGs were chosen: "...astounding kill techniques and nearly limitless strength..."

- Rai-Dei announces his "Jigenzan Ittou-style Succesion Technique" and starts out with some sort of whirly thing he calls the "Double Nebula"
- Vash appears to be out of bullets, but uses the gun in his arm to continue
- When that runs out, Rai-Dei tries the Double Nebula again, but Vash uses a string attatched to his gun to trip him
- As the dust settles, Rai-Dei's sword is several feet away, and both men are on the ground, Vash's gun in his opponent's face
Corressponds to Anime Episode(s):
Chapter one - does not appear in anime
Chapter two through three and part of four - parts of anime episode sixteen, "Fifth Moon"
Major Differences:
Hhhm, the whole incident with the Goodman Manor is absent from the anime, but the convict lives on as the short-legged, mohawk-wearing, earringed giant in the first episode. ^^ I guess somebody liked his character design. Also missing is Midvalley's ill-fated rebellion.
Rai-Dei is a bit different. He was unlucky enough to land a spot in the episode of rock-bottom animation, a.k.a "Fifth Moon". He was also stuck with the task of babbling about spiritual awareness and being rather stupid. His skull-skates have disappeared in the anime, which brings up the question, how do you skate in a desert? Anyway, his attack names are gone too.
Chapter Four: Wolfwood
- Vash askes Rai-Dei to promise not to kill anymore people, and starts to walk away
- Rai-Dei refuses to believe that his sword style lost to Vash's gun, remembering his brutal training, and prepares to shoot Vash in the back

- Wolfwood knocks Vash to the ground, and tells him that underestimating the GHGs is being naive
- Vash gets up (now he's back to calmness) and tells Wolfwood that he's wrong, and that Rai-Dei wasn't going to shoot him

- As Zazie the Beast watches from a building's roof, Vash tells Wolfwood that he is the coward in this situation
- Meanwhile, Millie and Meryl hitch a ride to Edwards with a toma farmer named Jessie

- They find a pigtailed girl in the wreckage, calling for Vash to help her
Chapter Five: Desperado

- Meryl wonders about the identity of the girl
- Wolfwood dreams of his orphan children and having his hands stained with blood so he can't pick them up
- Vash crashes the motorcycle, prompting the pair to stay at a nearby inn while he heals
- Vash overhears an arguement: The innkeeper's son Rob wants to help his mother, who was taken for a debt, but his father wants to handle it himself
- Wolfwood ponders Vash's no-kill attitude
- The innkeeper ties Rob to a chair and goes to save his wife
- Vash is resolved to help Rob even though he's still sick (or whatever's wrong with him O_o) and unties him

Chapter Seven: Darkness
- Leonof the Puppetmaster, fourth Gung-Ho Gun, makes his introductions
- Wolfwood attempts to blow the crap out of Leonof, but only gets his assistant, Unica
- Leonof reassembles the puppet parts all over the place into a huge, rather disturbing to look at, thing
- Vash cries a single tear (and is it just me, or is it black?)
- Wolfwood freezes up with fear
- Leonof gives his thing the order to destroy them
Corresponding Anime Episodes:
Chapters two through three and part of four - parts of episode 16, Fifth Moon
Chapter five - does not appear in anime
Chapters six and seven - anime episodes 20, Flying Ship, and 21, Out of Time
Major Differences:
The whole anime version of the events on the ship can pretty much be scrapped. The only similarity is the characters present, and even then they inserted Sensei and Hoppard. The battle with Gray is a long and bloody one, which will be dealed with next volume. The fight against Leonof was made much more mentally torturing, which will also be dealt with later. This leaves us with...not much. The death of Rai-Dei has undertones of the death of anime-Zazie, with a slug to the jaw and "he wasn't going to shoot!". But suprisingly, the punch came from the other party in this version. Who would have ever expected it of Vash?
