When Vash is connecting the minds of humans and plants in the final battle with Knives, he connects himself with Meryl. While he connects others randomly, he chooses to connect his mind with Meryl. Livio was there, also Milly and many other humans but no he chose Meryl and what is more interesting both share the same memory.

The memory of Vash losing control and Meryl being caught in the middle of it. When they are sharing this memory, Vash feels what Meryl is feeling right now.

And that is why he thanks Meryl.

He thanks her for not only overcoming her fears but for also not fearing him anymore. For being strong. For being determined. For not giving up on him. For being still here for him.

If this is not love, I don’t know what it is.

“I’ve regretted it all this time.”

This is what Meryl said to Roberto on the Sandsteamer. And this is the same for Vash.

Both are carrying guilt over what has happened to Tonis. First, we see this in Meryl and later on in Vash. Both feel the same. Both feel hurt. Both taking the blame. Both felt they could have done better.

Both are the same.

Interesting.

The entire focus here is on Meryl and Vash. Vash's truth is revealed and the focus is on Meryl's reaction. NOT on Roberto. NOT on Wolfwood. Only her.

Another thing, Vash never wanted his identity to be revealed as we have seen in Stampede. Vash, here also looks shocked at his identity being revealed. He fears being rejected by humanity for what he is. That's why he tries his best to blend among the humans. The way he acts. The clothes he wears etc. And here Meryl comes in. Meryl, who stood by his side from the beginning. Meryl, who worries for him and runs after him in danger without any care of her own life. Most importantly, Meryl, who represents the best in humanity. She doesn't run away or hide or gets disgusted by him. She doesn't fear him. Like Vash thought humans would. Like she would. But she didn't. Meryl's dedication remained unwavering through the entire series. She accepted him for what he is which we can see in the next episode when Vash wakes up in the Seeds ship. How relieved and happy she was to see him. She didn't ask anything because to her it didn't matter. To her, he was only Vash.

Vash with a flower crown?

Here you go!（＾∀＾）We can imagine it's a continuity of this post since the idea was similar

Okay, so, I was in bed looking for Tristamp fanart, and I came across a comment online that said Meryl's voice reaching Vash in chapter 12 was cheap, and it happened only because she is "the girl". My mind went immediately ballistic so hard i almost fell to the floor. Like, did we watch the same show at all? (screaming in a fit of rage)

Here i'm going (rolls up sleeves) beware spoilers. (and sorry for my broken english)

Meryl was the start of the show. She was our eyes, the narrator, the witness, and the rope that first tied the main group together (pun intended).

She started following Vash out of curiosity, then by admiration, her beliefs, and a big determination to help him and learn more about him, through danger, even not knowing how to fight or even lift a pistol.

Vash, despite loving humans, was, at the same time, distant to them and closed off. Almost every time, sooner or later, he ended up bringing some form of misery, hurt or loss to the humans around him, or they ended up betraying him. That's why he was called the "humanoid typhoon". We have Jenora Rock as an example. After the downfall with Knives, even Rosa, who seemed to know him for a long time, blamed him and tossed him out of her life. (I'm not roasting Rosa, i understand it's easy to put the blame on others when you suffer a great loss).

Meryl, witnessed all of this, and still followed him.

Meryl, who learned what Vash really is, and saw his markings, and even though she was surprised, she still smiled to him the next day.

Meryl, who was kidnapped to trap Vash into coming to July, and was told the truth about plants and humanity, but still didn't bail.

Meryl, who lost her mentor because of her decision to follow Vash, and didn't blame him, at all.

Meryl, who ran straight to try to save him, even though it was very dangerous and she could have ended up dead.

In the moment Vash was totally robbed of his bodily autonomy, his will, and basically, he was being violated, a tiny human, who followed him around through danger, challenged his views but never blamed him, smiled to him, wasn't afraid of him and supported him, was there, calling his name, calling for him to come back. A tiny human who believed in him, along with Luida, Brad and Rem.

This was specially noticeable when Vash was running, following Rem's voice. We can hear her say to him,"Thank you for protecting my dreams and my hopes", this, refering to her ideals about plants and humans coming together, wanting to create a bridge between them with their help, as she said to the twins when they were kids. And JUST RIGHT AFTER THIS, when he is looking down with sorrow and closes his eyes, Rem's voice calling his name mixes with Meryl's, and with that final push, he opens his eyes with a changed look, this time hearing only Meryl, and he gets out. THIS DETAIL GUYS. THE EYES. THE VOICES. LOOK AT THE GIFS.

THE CHANGE IN HIS EYES?????

Just imagine, after everything he went through, after being psychologically tortured by Knives, what was for him to hear Meryl CALLING HIS NAME and trying to save him. WAITING FOR HIM in a very dangerous place when she could have just, you know, escaped. His hopes in humanity, Rem's values and love lessons, compressed in this small tiny koala person. How can you even think, her voice reaching him, was FREAKING CHEAP OR DIDN'T DO ANYTHING? ASDJLAJKDASHDASKDLASDBASKD (dramatically sharpening a knife)

we all love the part where meryl hangs from vash like a cute koala in episode 12, right?

well, i noticed some small random adorable thing because studio Orange is insane and they animate even the smallests of the far-away details and i'm so deep into the trigun void i wanted to share it.

Vash offering his arm to her plus her little jump and her face in the third one???? SHE'S SO CUTE I MIGHT DIE.

To all of the OG Trigun fans who were criticizing the show , you people should at least admit how wrong you were. You weren't even giving Trigun Stampede a chance. The show had just literally started and you people didn't hesitate to show your unjust views about it.

To those OG Trigun fans (we all know the ones I’m talking about)…

I really fucking hope you’re eating your words right now…

“Thank you, Meryl. I heard your voice, too.”

Vash remembered her voice even after Knives “erased” her from his memory. Her voice, along with Rem’s,brought Vash back. He would recognize her voice from anywhere. Rem was Vash’s safe place, the one person (besides from Knives) who he could run to in times of trouble. Meryl has slowly been edging her way into Rem’s spot, but not in a motherly way, being motherly to Vash isn’t something Meryl would do. Meryl constant slew of questions towards Vash’s past and ideology, her willingness to go on the run with him- then to trust him enough to risk her life over and over again- has caused Vash to, for the first time in over 100 years, open up to someone the same way he would open up to Rem.
