| In the city of Orleans on the planet No Man's Land, gunman Vash the Stampede frightens off criminals who attack a restaurant with a toy gun. However, his reputation as the outlaw "The Humanoid Typhoon" causes citizens to turn on him for the $60 billion bounty on his head. Vash is forced to escape and defeat the escaped outlaws, Professor and Goosef Nebraska, who were hired to capture him. Meanwhile, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, two agents of the Bernardelli Insurance Society, claim that the bounty has been canceled. Vash offers the money to the civilians anyway and decides to wander until he finds a certain man. He leaves on a sand steamer, where he meets a child named Kite, who is helping the ruthless Bad Lad Gang hijack the vehicle. Kite changes his mind, however, when he realizes the danger it could cause, and Vash decides to help him protect the place. Vash battles the leader, Neon, while Kite fixes the vehicle. After his victory, Vash reveals himself to be another "Plant" to protect the area. Afterwards, Vash, Meryl, and Milly meet a family trying to stop the ruthless tycoon Morgan from evicting them. Morgan has hired a gang of thugs, including the couple's son, Badwick, and Patricia Nebraska and the rest of the Nebraska family, to take the land. With help from Vash, Meryl and Milly foil the thugs. Badwick understands his parents' determination to hold on to their livelihood, but he is surprised when they reveal their plan to give it to him. | ||||||

| Vash crosses paths with Legato Bluesummers, who claims that the twelve Gung-Ho Guns will attack and turn Vash's life into hell. The first enemy is Monev the Gale, who takes down Vash's prosthetic arm. However, Monev spares Vash because Vash's pacifism, taught by his late caretaker Rem Saverem, would be ruined otherwise. However, Monev is killed by the second member, E.G. Mine, as punishment. This angers Vash, who easily defeats Mine. Afterward, Vash rescues the young priest Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who is connected to the Gung-ho Guns but does not harm anyone. Instead, Wolfwood befriends Vash, Meryl, and Milly, then leaves. Vash is then challenged to a one-on-one fight by Dominique the Cyclops, and Vash once again remains victorious and spares Dominique. While Vash rests, his brother, Million Knives, who caused Rem's death, wakes up from a long slumber. Vash orders his friends to escape the area. Knives confronts Vash and forces him to mutate his gun-like Angel Arm to test the Plant's power. Vash loses control of the Angel Arm and shoots part of the moon. Everyone involved in the fight disappears in the aftermath. The volume ends with a Trigun prototype, in which Vash stops a hostage situation without killing anyone. | ||||||

| Two years after Knives mutated Vash's arm, Wolfwood travels from city to city until he finds that Vash has been adopted by an elder who calls him Eric. After teaming up with Wolfwood to rescue a friend from a man impersonating Vash, he decides to leave his adoptive family to continue his journey to find Knives. As they travel, Vash meets old friends who are hiding in a shelter. They give him clothing reminiscent of his life as a gunslinger. However, Wolfwood criticizes Vash's pacifist morals, believing it is impossible to avoid bloodshed in every fight. Nevertheless, Vash remains true to his morals and stops a man from killing a criminal who killed one of his family members. | ||||

| Legato locates Vash and sends Gung-Ho Guns member Rai-Dei the Blade to fight him. Despite being reluctant to fight, Vash accepts the match on the condition that, if he wins, Rai-Dei will stop killing enemies. When Vash wins the battle, Rai-Dei's shock causes Wolfwood to kill him, believing he was going to attack again. However, Vash feels horrified about this, claiming there was no need for murder; whether or not Rai-Dei would keep fighting, he would have just run away. This causes another clash between Vash's and Wolfwood's philosophies. As they keep traveling, Vash's body reaches its limits, resulting in the two resting in an inn. There, the owner goes to rescue his hostage wife all alone, resulting in Vash freeing his tied up son and going with him to rescue the hostage. As they return to the inn, a criminal tries to kill the group, but they are saved by Wolfwood. Vash decides to visit a spaceship filled with people he has been friends with for several years, but is shocked when they turn out to be puppets from Leonof, the Puppet-Master from Legato's group. This enrages Vash, who attacks Leonof. | ||||
