| SPOILER: Things we learn about Vash (and Wolfwood) during this episode: 1. Unlike everyone else, Vash is familiar with the spider-like robots that attack the bus. "Their expiration date was a long time ago" he comments, suggesting that both the robots and himself are somewhat older than they seem. 2. At one point, though Vash has been deprived of his pistol, a number of robots that were menacing him somehow turn up smashed for no apparent reason. 3. Though he claims to be just a wandering priest, Wolfwood turns out to be an excellent shot. 4. Vash somehow knows how to shut down the automated robot factory aboard what he calls a crashed "alien spaceship". In fact, he talks to it: "You can stop now--there's no one left to protect". My favorite line: "I hate you when you call me by my full name!" --Vash | |
