The series follows Vash the Stampede, a gunfighter who is the most infamous outlaw on the planet Gunsmoke. Because of his ruthless reputation, he carries a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head, causing entire towns to evacuate at the rumor of his arrival. Despite this legend, the enigmatic Vash is a conflicted character who acts like an idiot but maintains a pacifist nature.
