Episode Title:
High Noon at July
Episode Description:
Knives makes contact with the Core to birth a new generation of Independents. Meryl pleads with Vash to wake up, and her voice ultimately causes him to regains his senses, ejecting Knives from the higher dimension. Knives then battles Vash for control of the Core as Wolfwood takes Meryl to safety. Eventually, Vash loads the Core into his gun and fires it into space to safely dispose of its energy, but Knives dives into the beam to try and recover it, but fails and is presumably killed. Vash then impacts in July City, inadvertently destroying the entire city. Two years later, Vash has become a fugitive again, with the remaining cities posting an unprecedented $$60 billion bounty on his head. Meryl pays a visit to the city's ruins to pay her respects to Roberto and is warned by Zazie that other humans from Earth will be coming. Additionally, Meryl is informed by her superiors that she is being assigned a new partner named Milly Thompson. Meanwhile, an amnesiac Vash is living quietly in a small settlement. In outer space, another human colony fleet led by the Independent Chronica detects a Gate disturbance and traces its location to Noman's Land.
