So for those of you who've stuck through Cowboy Bebop and Trigun (which is most likely the majority of you) ponder this for a moment.

If Vash and Spike were in the same universe, they're in their final battle, guns pointed at each other's head. You come running in, in that final moment with one bullet in your gun. There's nobody around and neither men were willing to put down their weapons, who do you shoot?

Hypothetically, who would you save? Neither character could make the world a better place. Vash has no control of his angel arm, and could destroy every city around you but has the will to make it a better place while Spike couldn't give less of a shit but alternatively is pretty useless to the world. Then again, he has a higher success rate than Vash.

And no, you can't shoot yourself.

Edit: no, bunny you can't let them kill eachother
<3

I would merely wait for each to shoot the other at the same time. As they both lay on the ground dieing, I (and the other 150 pokemon plus those crazy hybrids that Mewtwo created) would start to cry. Our tears would revive both heroes and the Anime universe would rejoice.

That should help you figure it out.

First Vash would eat Spike's face in a face off. Lol, now to get serious...how do you know Vash has no control over his Angel arm?

If his idea of protecting people was to lay inconspicuous, maybe he just didn't use it because he didn't need it. It doesn't really matter because neither could save humanity obviously. Humanity is based on a flaw, called humans.

stand behind one and shoot.
The bullet will go through both of them.

win.

Kill Spike. He was a pansy anyway.

-NS

it would be pointless to shoot at either one. especially with just one bullet.

both are pretty damn good at dodging bullets, and either one would quickly sidestep your attack and end your life in the same millisecond.

you might have a chance with a lot of bullets, but i srsly doubt that.

in this particular situation, spike is my favorite of the two but it's obvious that vash has the upper hand. spike's got quick reflexes, an awesome fighting style, and he's one kalm, kewl motherfucker. vash, on the other hand, has superhuman reflexes, nearly perfect aim, and he's a genetically engineered killing machine.

i don't think that spike rly has a chance.

that being said, i'd shoot at vash. i'm hoping that, in the moment it takes for him to dodge my shot and turn around to shoot me dead, spike might be able to use that opportunity to put four or five bullets into vash's skull.

spike wins. yaaays!! :D

Spike. I'm pretty sure he died.

Zombies? I can't be havin' that.

^ Prior to the last episode...or Spike were alive..w/e the point is they're having a showdown you rednut

Kill Spike. He was a pansy anyway.

-NS

In what way? If anything, Vash could pass as a queer.
<3

Spike's already dead.

Vash is annoying. Spike would win. Mugen is cooler than both.

i think your forgetting spike is some half assed bounty hunter and vash is some jc denton mother fucker with WMD for his left hand

One thing I'm not forgetting is that Vash is a wanker.

Shoot Spike. Shoot him deader than he already is.

I only watched the first episode of Trigun

As far as I have seen, Vash likes dick.

Vash... Spike is super cool

Spike is win. Vash is epic win. This coming from a guy who practices jeet kune do and used to draw comparisons to spike. Its just that Vash is better hearted I think.

dude, spike is the king of kings. he doesn't go off on about peace and all that because he doesn't give a shit and that is precisely why he is such a bad ass. he just like goes with the flow, whatever happens happens, and fuck all to the mainstream while vash ties himself up in morality issues and acting like a little puppy sometimes. anyways, didn't vash vow not to kill any one? ( i haven't watched trigun in a while) so yeah, if it came down to it i'd get spike's back but roll vash in the end and lift his snazzy ass red coat.

Marry me.
<3

Marry me.

:) Haha, under what romantic countries skies?

Don't think you'd be so willing if you saw me...its been a long while since I had that awesome hairdo.

I would shoot vash in the foot.

Now no one has to die and no one is really hurt.

^ If you shot Vash in the foot, you'd just cripple him and then Spike will kill him you evil bastard.

:) Haha, under what romantic countries skies?

Don't think you'd be so willing if you saw me...its been a long while since I had that awesome hairdo.

The long hair or after the haircut? Because I recall being one of the first people to tell you to get a haircut.
<3

yesssss....that is a very nice coat...

*shoots blanko in order to eliminate competition for said coat*

...

*steals vash's sunglasses too*

awwwww yeah.

Are we talking about the Vash from the manga or the Vash from the anime? Pretty big difference.

Ok fine, shoot spike in the hand that way vash wont kill him and spike will be like "ow my fucking hand, WTF tater!" and I will be like " " because Im good like that and vash would be like " OMG love and peace why cant we get along?!? 0_o " and Ill be like " you were here to penis " and then wolfwood would show up as a zombie and Ill be like " fuckshitjesus its a zombie " and I will grab spike gun and he hits me in the throat and Then I will shot zombiewolfwood in the head and he will be like " braaaiiinnnnsssssss" then be dead.

Then I will fuck faye and ed in the most awsome 3 way ever and make them my hoes...suddenly jet would appear out of nowhere with a cigar and be like " WTF" And vicious will appear and throw spike out of a window and a grenade will go off and we will all die even spike because juilia(sp) is already dead and spike got angsty.


*rant complete*

and then wolfwood would show up as a zombie and Ill be like " fuckshitjesus its a zombie "

lol.



I would shoot Spike and join Vash on his quest to be completely peaceful (as long as the position comes with a badass red coat).

why the fuck do you not realise.

spike = some lacky that has trouble making MONEY to pay for FOOD. He might be clever and shit, but hes still some nobody.

vash = robot with a weapon of mass destruction for his hand.

sure spikes character is better, but vash has the whole "not a loser" and "weapon of mass destruction" thing.

its like fucking comparing Macready from The Thing to John Matrix from commando.

Sure, in the contest Macready is pretty badass, he surived, thinks quick, etc.
But John is a fucking badass killing machine that activly seaks a challange.

We love mac for his personality, but obviously the over the top commando would win. its the same in this situation.
you are comparing a epic hero to a simple protagonist

Vash is not annoying, and Mugen albeit cool as fuck still doesn't compare to the depth that Vash contains. The man was a genius, expressed an amount of feeling that you don't really run across with humans. Seeing as how he wasn't human....

I doubt you have the balls to even self-sacrifice money for family members. Yet, he gave up his body to save strangers. You wouldn't do the same, and neither would Mugen, and neither would Spike.

One thing I'm not forgetting is that Vash is a wanker.

No.

You're a moron. "Tying" himself up with morality issues was an understanding of life that you obviously lack. Yeah, killing people is real fucking cool until you actually kill someone.

Badass? Go kill someone and then talk to me about how cool you are...killing is easy in the sense of what it takes to pull a trigger physically. Everything else isn't bearable to bitches like yourself.

:) Haha, under what romantic countries skies?

Don't think you'd be so willing if you saw me...its been a long while since I had that awesome hairdo.

Putting yourself down on the internet? Grow some balls man and stop looking so fucking pathetic.

This right here sounds good :P

CarbonB.. Are you taking the piss? Was that post meant to be ironic or a parody or something?

Yea well fuck everyone for forgetting Gene Starwind

Don't assume everyone wants to read your euphemisms queer!

Yea well fuck everyone for forgetting Gene Starwind

Gene Starwind would also get his ass stomped by Vash. People, there is no argument here. Only one character can be brought in to challenge him and we all know who that is...

we all know who that is...

Enlighten me.

Enlighten me.

Light Yagami.

Enlighten me.


Kamineko from Azumanga Daioh

Enlighten me.

You seriously can't tell me that I was thinking Goku?

Light Yagami.

Lol, I found this funny because enlighten...Light :P

Lol, maybe if that feline happened to be the one from Batman that was voice acted by a black dude, THEN, he might have a chance....

fuckin eh

Hey, what about...

http://www.absoluteanime.com/akira/tetsuo-.jpg

TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

eh, couldn't resist. :p

I guess I'd have to shoot Spike, since Vash is actually a good person. Spike is a much better character, though, and Cowboy Bebop blows Trigun out of the water. I never understood how anyone could compare the two in terms of quality.

Yes, Cowboy Bebop is extremely awesome. From the get go it's a grab you by the nuts kind of show and it doesn't let 'em GO!!!

However, Trigun has a ton of great depth to it that I think is what a lot of people enjoy. The question of humanity, and a lone hero with an unbreakable ideal.

Spike, we could smoke cigarettes after.

Those things will kill you.

I guess it's just a matter of personality. I find the unwavering idealism of Vash to be sort of ridiculous and unrealistic. The black and white morality just strikes me as the sort of false, overly simplistic way of looking at the world that children's stories are made of. It's the same reason I like Samurai Champloo a lot more than Rirouni Kenshin (sp?). Of course, I seem to have no trouble accepting space travel and all of the other extreme science fiction in Cowboy Bebop and Trigun...

Yes, but don't you find it odd that you are going to find the thought processes of a being more intellectually vast than any human, childish or simplistic?

I'm glad you mentioned Ruroni Kenshin, because look at what a human had to go through to achieve the enlightenment that Vash grasped with one loss. To travel through hell and back, to see death and to breathe in it's disgusting fumes. It's putrid makes you vomit at the very thought of killing. I mean...haven't you ever seen 'Powder'?

Spikes a clone, so uh, stuff.

So "they" say.

Awaits dick shit pathetic wrath of anime fags
