Trigun Stargaze Drops New Trailer and Key Art
Trigun Stargaze locks and loads for a January 2026 premiere on Crunchyroll, capping Studio Orange’s ambitious reboot with a final season (first revealed at New York Comic Con), which just earned a new trailer and key art. And yes, the studio also confirmed the season as the “last chapter.”
For newcomers: Trigun is a sci-fi western about Vash the Stampede—a relentlessly pacifist gunslinger whose legend trails catastrophe—squaring off against his twin, Millions Knives, across a desert planet sustained by mysterious “plants.” Orange’s CG-forward Stampede reimagined the classic with sleeker action and a tighter arc that crescendos in the “Lost JuLai” tragedy, setting the board for an endgame years later. (If you’re catching up, Stampede is already streaming on Crunchyroll.)

Vash, living under the name Eriks in a backwater town, is jolted from hiding when a young girl arrives with an SOS tied to their crashed fleet—pushing him to end an old feud to protect the few people he has left. Then comes a transmission from deep space: a fleet of Earth colony ships inviting settlers to a “new frontier.” The planet celebrates—until a return shatters the moment, forcing a final reckoning.
Behind the camera, Orange keeps the reins with a refreshed leadership team that includes Masako Sato (Haikyu!! To the Top) directing, Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) handling series composition, with scripts built on concepts by Takehiko Oki. Kouji Tajima—whose work defined Trigun Stampede’s look—returns to concept art and previously established character designs. With a final season window set and the trailer pointing to bigger stakes (planetary, personal, and everything in between), Trigun is aiming to holster its saga with purpose.
Watch the new trailer below, and make sure you’re all caught up by the time Trigun Stargaze drops in early 2026.
