Trigun Maximum continues the story of Vash the Stampede, the pacifist gunman with a giant bounty on his head, across the desert planet of No Man's Land. Vash refuses to kill, disarming the bounty hunters and enemies who hound him while searching for his brother Knives. Along the way he travels with the gun-toting priest Nicholas D. Wolfwood, whose own loyalties trace back to Knives. This series picks up directly from the original Trigun manga.
