This episode is basically the starting of the Gung-Ho guns, I thought it was great when Vash was finally about to have supervillians for once which is always what every superhero needs.
This episode has my favorate Gung-Ho gun, yeah Dominique the Cyclops personally I don't really think of her as a villan so much but in a strange way an anti-heroine.
She's awsome not just from that power of hers but the fact that she is mysterious and complex somehow, I can't help but feel this character has some sort of past and hot (don't read too much into that) what can I say I'm attracted to bad girls. The only bad thing about this epsode and show were there weren't any other episodes with her, I just felt she had potential that could have really been built up for her to be an essental character in the show, the creator really didn't know what he had but oh well. Anyway basically the episode builds up to the confrontation between the two. This is made by the moments like the phylosohical argument on pacifism and agressive resistance practice, this might sound weird but in a way both are right. And there was that humorious and sexy moment when we see Vash has unknowing undid the buttons on her shirt which pops it open, another reason I really like her she has a nice er chest.
But the fight was great, she's litteraly like a master chest player or video game player, all she does is just move to the right spots and take him out, she looked almost impossible to beat. But as usual Vash found a way and won, the way he won makes sense when you think about it which is amazing. But this is only round one in Vash's war with the Gun-Ho guns.moreless
At the city of Jeneora (January) Rock, a bunch of outlaws representing the Roderick Thieves visit a pub but get into trouble when they encounter Legato, who can manipulate people's limbs telepathically, like making people shoot each other. Outside the city, the Roderick gang try to fight Legato but the Gung Ho Guns arrive and kill off half of the gang with unnatural weapons and techniques. After carrying Meryl and Milly across the desert, Vash enters the bar for a drink but only sees bloodshed. Suspecting Legato, he searches town and the nearby area, and encounters the deadly and beautiful Dominique the Cyclops, who moves so quickly as to appear to teleport.moreless

QUOTES (6)
ADD QUOTES-
Legato: (to girls, one of whom is crying) It really is a shame what happened here. But now at least you know how much pain there is in living. (other girl starts to weep) The day it all ends is near. I advise you to make good use of the time you have left.
-
Legato: That's unusual for me. (looking at his hand) I usually don't waste time on vermin like that. (recalls image of Vash) It must be the way you look, Vash the Stampede. Your very existence seems to cause me undue irritation.
-
(Dominique makes her instant exit. While in slow-motion...)
Dominique: This isn't over, Vash the Stampede.
Vash: It would be nice if you wore a dress the next time. -
Milly: Boy, Meryl, the ride is comfy, isn't it?
Meryl: It sure is! This is one incredible piece of machinery.
Milly: The only way it could be better is if it were a little bit faster. Now that would be dreamy!
(Camera pans down to Vash who is carrying the girls and the car frame on his back.)
Vash: I'm doing the best I possibly can. Gimmie a break!
Milly: My goodness, Meryl, this car can actually talk!
Meryl: There's no way, Milly. You're just hearing things.
Milly: Gee, I hope you're right.
Vash: Girls only care about themselves..
Meryl: Do you have any right to say that after wrecking our car? I think not! You're going to take full responsibility!
Vash: Are we there yet? ARE WE THERE YET!?! -
(Dominique explains that the people she killed were filthy anyway.)
Dominique: Call it a spring-cleaning of sorts. Well, does that make you feel any better?
(Vash sighs.)
Vash: You killed them. Even though they did terrible things, the decision of who should and should not live was never and never will be yours to make! I should slap you. Not to mention, that during this conversation, I could have groped you, at least five times. (holding up fingers, but realizing one of them was bandaged) OK, so let's say maybe four times.
(Dominique's blouse buttons pop off, and she covers up.) -
Vash: (to Dominique) Don't clean away people, clean the house of the man you love. Like me, for example. I'm just kidding you know.
