✨TRIGUN STARGAZE (2026): The Final Showdown Begins — Release Date, Plot & Where to Watch This Epic Conclusion

Get ready, anime fans — the Humanoid Typhoon is back! Studio Orange has officially unveiled the next (and possibly final) chapter in the Trigun saga — TRIGUN STARGAZE, premiering in January 2026. Revealed during the New York Comic Con 2025 panel, the show dropped a new trailer, visual, and character art of fan favorites: Vash the Stampede, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Meryl Stryfe, and Milly Thompson.

Streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll, this new phase promises to be the emotional and action-packed conclusion to Trigun Stampede — and yes, Vash’s redemption arc is far from over. 🌌

🌠 A Quick Recap: The Journey So Far

In Trigun Stampede, humanity had fled an uninhabitable Earth, seeking refuge on the desert planet Noman’s Land. Amid this exodus, two extraordinary brothers were born — Vash and Knives, beings with a profound connection to energy-generating life forms known as Plants.

When a catastrophic crash destroyed their colony fleet, Rem Saverem — the brothers’ guardian — sacrificed herself to save them. Her compassion shaped Vash into a pacifist, while Knives grew consumed by hatred for humanity.

Years later, Vash the Stampede wanders the wastelands, branded a “Humanoid Typhoon” for the destruction that follows him — destruction often caused by others pursuing him. His eternal mission? To stop Knives and bridge peace between humans and Plants. But by the end of Stampede, the Lost JuLai tragedy left a trail of devastation that changed everything — and everyone.

“Love and peace!” — Vash the Stampede

💫 What’s Next in TRIGUN STARGAZE

Set two and a half years after the events of Stampede, Trigun Stargaze begins with a fragile world still reeling from the Lost JuLai disaster.

Meryl Stryfe, now a seasoned journalist, continues her search for the missing Vash with a new partner — Milly Thompson, a cheerful rookie who adds warmth to the danger ahead. Their path crosses again with Wolfwood, whose

mysterious past still shadows his every move.

Meanwhile, Vash, now living under the alias Eriks, hides in a quiet desert town. But peace is short-lived when a young girl named Jessica arrives, pleading for help — her home ship is in danger. To save her, Vash must once again confront the darkness he left behind.

And just when hope seems to return, a chilling broadcast echoes across the planet:

“We are a fleet of colony ships from Earth... Those who wish may accompany us to a new frontier.”

But celebration turns to chaos as the one-winged angel — a harbinger of destruction — descends once more. The battle for the planet’s soul is about to reach its climax.
