PersonalityEdit
As a child, Knives was a kind and caring young man, much like Vash, but more inn
ocent. In the manga, Knives was more curious about Humans than Vash and wondered
if they would accept them while studying Earth's history. Knives's hatred towar
ds humans began when he and his brother discovered the abused remains of Tesla,
an independent Plant that was "born" before himself and Vash. Both of the boys a
re shocked when they discover Tesla, and, seeing what humans did to her, he can
no longer trust humans because of their cruelty and lack of self-control. Seeing
Tesla's abuse also caused Knives to begin inflicting pain on himself whenever h
e was left alone

Knives as a child
In the anime, Knives's resentment towards humans begins when a SEEDS crewmember,
Steve, abuses him. After Knives finds out that Steve was also (verbally) abusi
ng Vash, he begins to question why he is really "here". While Rem cuts Vash's ha
ir, Knives leaves while they are talking and comes to a realization that "It is
all wrong." After Vash finds him and discovers that he had cut his own hair, Kni
ves explains that he had a change of heart. While in the Recreation Room of Pro
ject SEEDS, Vash, Knives, and Rem notice that a butterfly is caught in a spider'
s web. Seeing Vash's attempt to save the butterfly, Knives instead kills the spi
der, saying that it was "the easiest way to save it." After the incident with Ro
en and Mary, Knives agreed with Joey when he opened the airlock, sending a dead
Mary and Roen (still in his crazed stupor) into space. Despite having thought th
at he did the appropriate thing himself, Joey then began to think if Rem was rig
ht, saying that Roen wouldn't have shot her. Knives then kills Joey, and alters
the ship's course so it would crash into the planet. However, Rem is able to sav
e the passengers and changes Project SEEDS's course so it wouldn't crash, ruinin
g Knives's plan to kill everyone on the ship.
Throughout the anime series and the manga, Knives is portrayed as a psychopathic
, cruel, and sadistic character, even to his colleagues, the Gung-Ho Guns. Even
though Knives despises humans, he still has a caring relationship for Vash, and
wants for him to join him on his quest to eliminate the humans for what they had
done to the Plants.

AnimeEdit
After Knives and Vash escape the SEEDS ship, they crash land on the planet Gunsm
oke, not far from the other ships. Knives talks with Vash about joining him in d
estroying the Human race. However, upset that Rem had just passed away, Vash ref
uses, but follows Knives since he does not want to be alone.
After fifteen years of wandering Gunsmoke, Knives and his brother come across a
specific piece of a SEEDS ship. Leaving Vash alone, Knives goes alone into the s
hip in search for two .45 Long Colt revolvers. After a year of searching, Knives
returns and gives a silver revolver to Vash, keeping a black one for himself. H
owever, Vash was uncomfortable having a gun (keeping the pacifistic ideals that
Rem had taught him), and shoots Knives unintentionally in his right thigh. Terri
fied that he had hurt another (especially his brother), Vash runs away, leaving
an injured Knives behind.
Several years after that incident, Vash discovers that one of Rem's last survivi
ng relatives is still alive, and living in the city of July. He does find the ma
n related to Rem; however, he also finds that Knives murders the man, breaking a
ll connections between him and Rem. Left utterly dumbstruck, Knives takes his le
ft arm, and once again offers Vash to join him. He somehow controls Vash's remai
ning arm, and summons the Angel Arm. However, Vash aims the Angel Arm at Knives,
and fires it, destroying all of July and nearly killing Knives as well.
Even though Knives was nearly killed in the July incident, he slowly regenerates
, and later forms the Gung-Ho Guns to act for him in his stead while he recovers
. Like the manga, the Gung-Ho Gun's purpose was to eliminate Vash, however there
are no special coins that Vash had to collect. However, despite never actually
killing the Gung-Ho Guns himself, they were either killed or committed suicide r
ather than to go back to Knives and admit their failure. Eventually, after all o
f the Gung-Ho Guns are dead, Knives himself waits for Vash to find him.
Vash-vs-knives400x285
Vash and Knives during their final battle against each other

Vash manages to find Knives, and the two have a massive battle. Because of his b
etter knowledge of the Angel Arm, Knives gains the upper hand in the beginning o
f the fight, Nearly killing Vash with his and his brother's guns in the Angel Ar
m form. However, with Wolfwood's Punisher cross, Vash disables Knives by shootin
g him in both of his shoulders and thighs. Then, falling unconscious, Knives is
taken back to the village by his brother where Milly Thompson and Meryl Stryfe a
wait Vash's return.
Knive's' fate is unknown in the anime, but in the ending of the series he is sho
wn to have been bandaged from his final fight against Vash.
MangaEdit
Many years after the Big Fall, the two meet in the city of July. Knives takes c
ontrol of Vash and activates Vash's Angel Arm. Trying to control the power Vash
points the arm at Knives as it fires. Knives is left in a very critical state. H
e slowly regenerates over a period of time after being placed inside a plant, an
d forms the Gung-Ho-Guns to act for him. After the plant gives birth to a regene
rated Knives (killing the plant in the process) knives visits a town with a dyin
g plant. He witnesses the plant's last death throes as the towns occupants send
it through one last "run" to retrieve any resources left from the plant. The pla
nt begins to turn black and dies. He is then informed that his power is finite
and he will slowly die by using his abilities. This is evident by a black stran
d appearing in his hair showing the process has already begun. In order to conti
nue with his plans of destroying the humans he begins absorbing other plants int
o himself, which causes his powers to grow exponentially.
Knives launches "The Ark", a floating ship designed to leave humans without any
resources by absorbing their plants. As he absorbs more and more plants, his Ark
takes on the form of a sentient organism, capable of defending itself and, in s
ome cases, even teleporting short distances. Vash and Knives eventually fight fo
r a final time, and with the help of the humans Vash is successful in breaking K
nives's control over all the other plants. Robbed of nearly all of his remaining
power, Knives and Vash clash one last time, before escaping together from the v
engeful ships from Earth.

Knives in Trigun Volume 3
The two apparently make peace and take refuge at an isolated house occupied by a
father and son, who provide the wounded pair with medical care. Knives seemingl
y uses the last of his power to raise a small fruit tree beside the house as a f
inal gift to the father and son and to Vash, and seemingly vanishes afterward. H
e is never seen again (probably died due to loss of his energy and as Plants die
, he withers).
AbilitiesEdit
Knives understands his origins and powers better than his brother Vash, and as a
result he knows how to tap into his powers and create weapons such as the Angel
Arms. The catalyst required to activate them is hidden above the barrels of he
and Vash's revolvers. These power cores, when held in either of their hands, tra
nsforms the guns into weapons with immense destructive potential. It can cause t
heir arms to morph into miniature versions of one of the SEEDS guns, the true po
wer of the Angel Arm. Even at 13% of its maximum output, the results are nothing
less than devastating.
Knives is also a powerful telepath, using his ability to manipulate other plants
, evident in two flashbacks (Ep. 26: "Under the Sky So Blue"): when he almost ca
uses a plant to combust in order to kill humans, and the instance in which he ma
nipulates Vash's Angel Arm. He can also use this power on humans, evident in Epi
sode 17: "Rem Saverem". In this episode, Knives kills the crew members one by on
e via manipulation and the apparent insanity that the crew members seem to suffe
r from.

In the manga, the Angel Arm is a natural ability of a plant, and does not requir
e a special revolver to utilize. Knives' power manifests itself as an array of m
onomolecular wire/extremely sharp blades. Also, Knives further learns how to inc
rease his power by merging with other plants, demonstrated on multiple occasions
in the manga where he absorbs his "sisters" into his left arm, taking their pow
er source into his. This power, however, includes a side effect; when using his
power, parts of the plants he has absorbed can be seen. Arms, legs, and the occa
sional horrified face peek through the cloak he wears from his left shoulder to
keep it concealed. Later he tries to use this ability to absorb his brother, Vas
h, yet he is almost overpowered due to Vash's more potent "flow." In this instan
ce Legato steps in to pull Knives away from the brink before he is lost.
After fusing with thousands of plants, Knives launches "The Ark", a floating shi
p which travels around the Planet Gunsmoke, absorbing almost all the plants on t
he planet. This results in the near total collapse of human civilization on Plan
et Gunsmoke, as cities are left with no means of producing power, water or food.
He claims that when he removes all the plants, the humans will kill each other
over resources, thus proving to Vash that that is all humanity is good for. As h
e absorbs more and more plants, his Ark takes on the form of a sentient organism
, capable of defending itself and, in some cases, even teleporting short distanc
es.

TriviaEdit
Given their age at the time, their turning points match up with when most childr
en would be learning basic shapes and colors, appropriate given how their fundam
entals were based entirely on what they saw on that ship, much like how humans u
nderstanding of shapes is formed by what they see in the beginning and what thou
ghts come to mind with specific colors. Given what Knives saw and how he was lef
t to brew on it, it is easy to see why he might have developed his violent logic
.
It is very slightly hinted at that Knives could be the younger of the two. Vash
is his older twin brother, being born in a plant.
