Toho Animation uploaded the creditless opening of Trigun Stampede, as well as announced two new cast members. Shigeru Chiba and Kenji Nomura will appear from the second episode, which will air on January 14, 2023. Also, the full opening song is available to stream on multiple platforms. The ending will be available in the future as well. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]
The opening song for Trigun Stampede is “Tombi” by Kvi Baba. Kvi Baba is a hip-hop artist who debuted in 2017. In the opening, it shows a lot of the desert wasteland that the anime takes place in, along with shots of Vash. You can watch the creditless opening here, as well as on the Toho Animation YouTube channel:
As of the time of writing, the ending song (“Hoshi no Kuzu α” by Salyu and Haruka Nakamura) is not yet officially on streaming platforms. However, it will go live on January 13, 2023 JST.
Shigeru Chiba will voice Father Nebraska, and Kenji Nomura will voice Gofsef Nebraska. Previous roles that Chiba played include Kuwabara in Yu Yu Hakusho and Ryunosuke’s Dad in Urusei Yatsura. As for Nomura, some of his past roles include Iron Tager in BlazBlue and Yukio Terada in the Yakuza series.
Trigun Stampede is the re-make of the classic anime series, Trigun. It follows the story of Vash the Stampede, who is a famous gunman with a bounty on his head. Despite that, he is a pacifist. Perhaps due to the show’s fame and long history, the remake has somewhat changed the order of events.
Trigun Stampede is available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
