The twin brother of Vash in the series Trigun. Knives is the complete opposite of Vash; Knives is insane and absolutely evil, and hell-bent on obliterating (the remains of) humanity. He also takes pleasure in toying with Vash, as well as Vash's emotions and love for humanity.

Anti-air firepower, often seen as black smoke that erupts unexpectedly in midair, although at a certain range (there is a limit as to how far a flak shell can go before exploding in midair, thus allowing a pilot of an aircraft to anticipate flak).
"If you were paradropping, a flak shell will pretty much kill you. If you're lucky, you'll be blinded by the black smoke of the flak. Paradropping is scary in this case, but someone's gotta grow some cojones and do it."

A servant of Knives in the series Trigun. Legato and Vash are able to telepathically communicate because one of Vash's arms was grafted onto Legato. Legato is very similar to Knives in that his goal is to see the end of humanity. Speaking of psychic powers, Legato possesses psychokinetic powers with enough potential to murder people in an artistic manner (see the show to see some examples).
"Are you actually crying....Vash?.....*smiles*"

A rather powerful anime about Vash the Stampede, who although silly (rather often), has a past shrouded in much mystery (all is revealed as you watch it though).
What makes this show truly great is the philosophy behind it. There is philosophy behind (almost) all anime, but Trigun's is one-of-a-kind.
"How do you achieve love & peace? Well, you have to kill. Vash needs to realize that there are times when there are NO other options besides killing. But the way he was raised is very contrary to that fact. Who knows? Maybe there IS another option besides killing, even in the most extreme predicament? However, we have yet to find that."
