Trouble seems to follow poor Vash everywhere he goes. Being quite the gunslinger, with quite the bounty, he is a target on every bounty hunters list. Inevitably all of the damage being caused surrounding Vash, is none other than those going through much trouble to get to him.. or get him turned in.
