I remember years ago when my brother and I discussed this, the true tragedy of Legato Bluesummers. Everything that Vash was put through in the series was to bring him to this moment, where he'd have Legato at his mercy and be forced to make the conscious and deliberate decision to take someone else's life. Legato's sole purpose, his reason for existence that Knives gave to him, was to die by Vash's hand so that he would finally understand that sometimes you have to kill the spider to save the butterflies. When Vash pulled that trigger, he didn't just kill Legato; he killed his innocence.

Y'know, I never thought of it like that. I can see that, as an added cruelty, Knives would want Vash to make that connection: by taking someone else's life of his own free will, even someone as evil as Legato, Vash was in essence killing the memory of Rem that said "No one has the right to take the life of another." And Knives wanted Vash to suffer as he learned this lesson.

This is such an amazing scene. It's the death of Vash's innocence and the ideal he lived by. By killing Legato he realized that Rem wasn't right. She wasn't wrong either though. Sometimes you have to kill the spider to save the butterfly. It shows that Vash could have saved others by killing one person. What's sad is his ideal got Wolfwood killed too. Wolfwood finally came around to Vash's belief after watching him for so long and after killing a kid. And it got him killed.

He is always playing with children because he wants to go back to the time when he was most happy, being on the ship wirh his brother and not having any pain or responsibilities. Then he met maryl and she gave him a new sense of happiness. One that lasted beyond an adolescent kinship but real love. She fought for him and nearlu died for him several times because of Rem's ideology. So Vash now has gone past the youthful prankster who loves eating doughnuts and plays with kids, he now had to kill to survive and that was the gung ho guns entire meaning. To kill vash's innocence

@@yourworstentertainment983 I guess that in anime as deep as Trigun, Bluesummers doesn't really need that edgy tear-jerking backstory from manga. His whole purpose was to be Knives' will on the Gunsmoke, since in anime Knives obviously sees humanity's pitiful state as an already good result, and the only thing that buggers him is that his own brother doesn't grow up. When you think about it,byou may actually notice that Knives wasn't even as edgy-hateful of humanity in the anime, he even gave Wolfwood and his teacher a second chance by letting orphans and kids from all the Gunsmoke go to the well protected and flourishing place, as they would obviously grow up into something somehow acceptable by Knives. The whole bloodshed in the anime was started with the sole purpose of reeducating Vash, and since Knives doesn't care about humanity that much, he simply uses people's lives and deaths to teach Vash some lessons. I also want to note that in every encounter in the anime with his brother it was Vash who resorted to violence without a thought, which is, in my opinion, makes the story less black-and-whitish.

Just got to this part in the show. Very incredible scene. Legato really gives vash absolutely no option here, even though vash is so desperate to hold to his philosophy, even he can't ignore that this kill has to be justified. He would absolutely have been in the wrong if he didn't kill legato here. It's an important lesson for a fighter for justice and freedom such as vash, that bloodshed is going to happen, and it's far preferable for someone like legato to die here rather than Milly, Meryl and the people. However this decision still destroys vash......

Had Vash fought 100% at the beginning of the series, perhaps there would have been less suffering. he saw what he was doing to Maryl and Millie. He saw how HE caused Wolfwood's death by making HIM adopt HIS ideology. He saw that he was wrong to force his way of life on others and that HE himself would find his own path and perhaps save Knives from himself.
