Hello Amity Park, it’s Lance Thunder. I think it’s Friday the twelfth? January. Temperatures are in the twenties and thirties and it’s going to rain and snow.
An illness has rapidly spread throughout Amity Park. Ghosts can get it, humans can get it, I got it, I don’t think dogs can get it though, or any other animals. Actually I’m not sure. I haven’t seen any ghost animals with it either. It may just be human ghosts and human people.
Symptoms are back pain, headache, disorientation, a sore throat, sneezing, coughing, some other things, I feel really bland, like, in my mouth or something? Maybe that’s a loss of smell? I don’t know, I can’t remember. Maybe that’s another symptom.
Hopefully the Fentons aren’t driving today, they have it too.
I need to sleep on the floor now.

Units in Trigun (+α)
(source will be linked in comments)
edit: GUYS. THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT CANON YOU UNDERSTAND THAT RIGHT. NIGHTOW JUST PULLED THE HEIGHTS OUT OF HIS ASS. LIKE HE DOES WITH MANY OTHER LORE ASPECTS. READ THE DESCRIPTION PLEASE. STOP SAYING " :O i didnt know vash was actually so short" HE IS NOT. THIS INFO IS NOT CANON.
Remember how I've mentioned at least twice that there are actually real conversions for the weird units in Trigun? I found em. They were on the inside of the DVD sleeve for Trigun '98.
There's also some other nice info about money and Nightow's character/worldbuilding (or lack of thought about it lol)
And guess what? I just checked the conversions, and these lengths (provided in metric) are almost exactly the same as their real-life imperial counterparts.
The character heights are also completely wrong. Using these units, Vash's height converts to 158cm, when we know that he's canonically 180cm in the '98 anime.
So take all this with a grain of salt!
> Length
1 iich ≈ 2.54cm ≈ 1 in
1 feel ≈ 30.5cm ≈ 1 ft
1 yarz ≈ 91.4cm ≈ 1 yard
1 ile ≈ 1.6km ≈ 1 mile
> Money
1 $$ (double dollar) ≈ 100 ¢¢ (cescent)
$$ are worth a bit less than USD.
> Character ages
Vash: about 150 years old
Wolfwood: 26 – 28 years old
Meryl: 23 years old
Milly: 21 years old
> Character heights
Vash: 5 feel 2 iich (158cm !??!??!?!)
Wolfwood: 5 feel 3 iich (160cm same as my mom lol)
Meryl: 4 feel 5 iich (134.7cm girl youre shorter than the shortest person i know. and shes pretty damn short)
Milly: 5 feel 2 iich (158cm)
> Character name origins?
"Hmm... To be honest, I didn't put much thought into them. It's not like I didn't think over them at all, but I focus on what sounds cool when pronounced, rather than the meaning of the name. I mean, if you turn 'Vash Stampede' into Japanese, it becomes 牛の暴走 (a wild rush of cows)! (lol) That doesn't match his character, does it? Well, maybe it does...?"
-Nightow
> Population density
Very low, since the ships made emergency landings across a large area of the planet.
> Length of 1 Day
About 24 hours, same as Earth.
Translation of the source tweet and transcription of images under the cut:
I was so happy about the Trigun re-screening that I dug back out the TV version's DVD out of nostalgia... I found lots of important information on there, so feel free to use this as a reference! However, I think this is just information for the anime version at the time. (like Wolfwood's age)
The height measurements are wrong! Be careful! (Even though it's official material…lol)
トライガン豆知識 ・・・メインキャラクター編・・・
■ヴァッシュたちの年齢は?
ヴァッシュは約150才位、ウルフウッドは26〜28才、メリルは23才、ミリィは21才です。【内藤】
■ヴァッシュたちの身長(コレを参考にフィギュアスケールを決めよう)
ヴァッシュは5フィールと2イーチ位、ウルフウッドは5フィールと3イーチ位、メリルはメインキャラでは一番小さい4フィールと5イーチ、ミリィはヴァッシュと同じく5フィールと2イーチといったところでしょうか?【内藤】
※㎝での身長はD-2のオビ裏に記載されている、単位を元に割り出してみてくださいね。
■キャラクターたちのネーミングの由来は?
ん〜素直に言っちゃうと、何となくつけたという感じです。全く考えてないというワケでもないけど、名前の意味というよりは語感というか、発音してカッコイイとかそういう雰囲気を重視してます。だって、ヴァッシュ・スタンピードって日本語にすると牛の暴走ですよ(笑)キャラのイメージとは違うでしょ?あ、ハズレてもいないか……な?【内藤】
トライガン豆知識 ・・・世界編・・・
■尺の単位
●イーチ(約2.54㎝)●フィール(約30.5㎝)
●ヤーズ(約91.4㎝)●アイル(約1.6㎞)
■お金の単価
●$$(ダブドル)●¢¢(セスセント)セスセントの単価はダブドルの約百分の一の単価になります。ちなみに、ダブドルは実際の米国ドルとと比べると価値を低く見積もっています。【内藤】
■重さの単位
あ、特に考えてませんでした(笑)【内藤】
■トライガン世界の人口密度はどれくらい?
惑星の広範囲に渡って移民宇宙船が強制着陸したため、人口密度はめっちゃまばらになっています。【内藤】
■トライガン世界の一日は何時間?
トライガン世界の1日は約24時間位。地球時間の1日と変わりありません。【内藤】
