Before and while Tristamp was airing, Kenji Muto made some amazing Twitter posts giving us lore and production tidbits along the way. And while I don't speak Japanese (so I'm going to have to use Google Translate for this, so take everything you read here with a grain of salt because it may be skewed by mistranslation), there was some fantastic art and really cool concepts shared, and I want to archive anything Trigun-related. If I miss anything, let me know!) It starts a little slow with stuff we already know, but there are some interesting tidbits! If anyone who knows Japanese wants to correct anything, please feel free! Now, without further ado...
If dialect is a metaphor for a southern accent,
Wouldn't it be nice to have other dialect metaphors?
So, a variety of local characters appear.
Of course, their background stories have also been constructed.
God is in the details.

The power of the plant is entirely derived from the countless holes (gates) that open in space.
There are two types of gates: ``Power to bring'' and ``Power to bring.''
A place other than this world, It seems that it is connected to another universe, a different phase, or a different dimension (?)...
#TRIGUN

Adding a tid-bit from @pancake-breakfast here:
So, my Japanese isn't great, but I wanted to try to clarify something on here that Google Translate isn't capturing, namely from this part:
Saying that there are two types of gates and then defining them both as "Power to bring" doesn't make sense in English. Why make a distinction between the two if you're gonna define them the same way? But in the Japanese, it's not quite the same words used for both: "持ってくる力" (motte kuru chikara) vs. "持っていく力" (motte iku chikara.
力 (chikara) just means "power," so we'll set that aside for now since that part is actually consistent across both items.
持って (motte) is also consistent across both items. This means "carrying" or "holding," like you'd hold a bag or a purse or a backpack or something that you're taking around with you.
The big difference is between くる (kuru) and いく (iku). These are actually the kana (phonetic) versions of two kanji characters:
来る (kuru) - to come
行く (iku) - to go
That provides us with a nice little pair of opposites, and changes our literal definitions as follows:
持ってくる力 (motte kuru chikara) - Power to come carrying
持っていく力 (motte iku chikara) - Power to go carrying
So... they're both kinda "power to bring" but it would be more accurate to say one brings and one removes. Or, if you're feeling dramatic, one giveth and one taketh away.
The guns circulating in No Man's Land are:
Most of the designs were salvaged from databases of crashed immigrant ships and were made into replicas.
Even if the design of a space-age gun is known, it is difficult to recreate it.
Because there are many dry and dusty lands,
There is a tendency to prefer those with simple structures that are less likely to break down.

The "memory world" is made of memories, impression values, and fragments from the "younger brother's side."
Therefore, the way of drawing is limited.

That's just the doctor's hypothesis.
By strongly opening the “gate” in the body,
It seems that the body is transformed by phase transitioning it into matter.
This mystery will probably be solved scientifically in the future.
Why is only the “younger brother” gate “black”?

Long time no see! I would like to post a picture that I have been drawing! How have you all been? ? As usual, I draw what I want to draw, immerse myself in what I like, and live. Take care of yourself, everyone, and don't overdo it.
Now, let me tell you that I still love Madasaku! Adult Madara from a child Madara. And I hope you can see the 🌸 attached to it! Sakura is very strong, but I love Madara because she comes to my rescue in a pinch! ! (delusion)

Here is the report!
Last year, I participated in October, and I watched Naruto ~ Shinobi World War Beginning! ! Amazing, awesome and powerful! ! Each character lived. And this year is finally the final chapter! ! 2023! ! From October this year, I will participate in the long-awaited stage.
Have a fun ninja life! And I'll do my best to find out if there's a badass scene (laughs).
I will publish the photos and stuffed animals I purchased on the stage. My room is overflowing with Madasaku! I'm happy.
looove the full Sonic Channel Super Sonic and Eggman story, super Eggman is so epiiic 🥰
I love how Sonic still gets to tease Eggman for being an old man for still getting out of breath in comparison XD
and the way Eggman tries to trick Sonic by saying this is all actually a good thing because they look so happy don't they? always love him trying trickery and manipulation
then when that doesn't work he tries to convince him to let him have it because what if Green Hill but chili dogs where you can have everything you want, you'd love that!
I like what it says about Eggman and how he can only see it from the selfish self-centered perspective of the world existing to serve him something done only by his own desire and order - forced.
and of course Sonic is like hell nah I don't want a forced paradise like you do hehe
I fucking looove it that's my Eggman! Toyoda never fails, pure gold every time as gold as Super Eggman XD 💜

When can we meet next... I'm already thinking 😜❤️
Congratulations everyone❣️← Broad strokes 🤣🤣🤣
