Trigun tells the story of the legendary outlaw Vash the stampede. Vash has the biggest bounty in the word of Trigun, but we soon find out that this is not because he is a morally corrupt man who is taking advantage of the lawless land but rather for the unfortunate circumstances he gets into. He causes destruction everywhere he goes and even is responsible for the disappearance of an entire town. This destruction is almost never of his own doing but rather is a result of the bounty hunters coming to take claim to his head. Vash in fact is an outright pacifist refusing to ever enact harm on anyone. This among other things can often lead to him getting hurt but he would rather himself be gravely wounded than anyone else even receive a scratch.
