The tenth episode of TRIGUN STAMPEDE was dramatic on all-fronts, with one of the most impactful moments in the series being the direct consequence of Meryl (and the audience's) curiosity and desire for insight into the inner workings of one of the series antagonists, Dr. William Conrad. Having been largely in Knives' shadow in each of his appearances prior, Conrad reveals his intentions for No Man's Land to Meryl and De Niro, luring them deep into his lair with the intention of turning it into a honey trap for Vash The Stampede.
