[QUOTE="Ironhold, post: 68607001, member: 347134"] As an aside, [i]mangaka[/i] Yasuhiro Nightow is famous for being Christian. He explores a number of religious issues in "Trigun", and in fact one of the lead characters is a traveling minister named Nicholas J. Wolfwood... whose massive cross hides an assortment of weapons. As a child, Wolfwood was an orphan. The circumstances vary greatly between the original manga and the anime, but Wolfwood was eventually taken in by a minister known as Chapel the Evergreen. What no one realized, however, was that Chapel was actually in the employ of the series' main villain, Millions Knives; Chapel's orphanage was actually a front for a program meant to train assassins. Each assassin was given at least one "Cross Punisher" weapon, an over-sized cross that contained one or more hidden weapons, as part of it; the logic was that no one would question a minister with a large artifact like this. Wolfwood's friendship with the other leads causes him to reject his mental conditioning and turn on Chapel, saving them from Knives' ambitions at the cost of his own life. In the manga, Wolfwood's death motivates another one of the assassins, Livio, to turn on the organization as well; he takes Wolfwood's place as Vash's companion and spiritual guide through to the end of the series. In the anime, meanwhile, Vash uses Wolfwood's second Cross Punisher weapon during his confrontation with Knives; Knives forgot about it, and so Vash used it at a key moment to prevent Knives from activating a super-weapon.
