What We Think

TRIGUN is about as non-woke as it gets by modern standards. Its storytelling prioritizes individual character journeys over agenda, and there’s a refreshing absence of identity politics. A genuine classic that holds up as an antidote to Hollywood’s current trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

TRIGUN focuses on character-driven storytelling, with Vash’s pacifism and struggles presented in a nuanced manner. Characters are developed for their personalities and individual arcs, not superficial identity factors. There’s essentially no forced diversity or ideological shoehorning.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is firmly rooted in themes of redemption, self-sacrifice, and found family, and while it questions violence and revenge, it never mocks or diminishes traditional morality, masculinity, or faith-based motifs. It’s more existential than subversive.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

TRIGUN presents a variety of philosophies, including pacifism and just war, showing real conflict and moral debate between characters. It doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives, nor does it force all characters into one worldview.
