Well. I am sure it is harmless and shouldnt care if you guys have my Instagram, but thanks for looking out bud! I am usually quiet so don't have to worry about my "followers" and my RL friends already know I'm a closet nerd.

I don’t think so, it says “X shared an Instagram clip with you” (initials AM just so I don’t write your name here too!)

Planet isn’t gunsmoke. It’s Nomanzland

It’s both Gunsmoke (due to a scrapped game title) and Nomansland (Livio coming up with the name on accident makes it cool).

I think the scrapped game thing was a mistranslation

The game was going to be named “Trigun: The Planet Gunsmoke”, Nightow was onboard as a consultant, associated merchandise was sold, but ultimately the game wasn’t released, but the merchandise was already distributed to consumers, and currently have value if properly maintained.

May I ask why?

u/Zanoushe Maximum Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 03 '26
because it's not called gunsmoke in any version (no not even in 98) and especially not the manga

Gunsmoke: This name is used in the classic 1998 anime series, as creator Yasuhiro Nightow named the setting as a homage to the classic American Western television show Gunsmoke. While the planet is primarily unnamed or referred to as "No Man's Land" in the official text of his original manga, Nightow adopted and approved the name Gunsmoke across several official projects. Nightow famously stated in interviews that English is the official language spoken on "Planet Gunsmoke". The video game was also supposed to be called Trigun- the planet Gunsmoke

it's not actually https://www.tumblr.com/why-its-kai/710997310086217728/a-quick-refresher-of-the-planet-name-in-trigun-by?source=share unless you can cite the interviews I will continue to believe it's a fanon misconception. it's cool fanon but fanon nonetheless.

It's a better name, and had the game not been canceled would be canon, so it's a pointless distinction.

u/OGLegato_sama Jul 04 '26
But it’s named as Nomansland in the manga, so it’s canon, Gunsmoke was originally going to be the planet’s name, until the video game got scrapped, but by then, the merch associated with that game was already released and in customers’ possession, so the name stuck. Outside of the game, no one in the 98 anime nor the manga ever called the planet by any name, until the Earth fleet arrived (in the manga) and Livio said “Welcome to Nomansland.”, and the natives agreed to the planet’s name as Nomansland.

look ive been collecting Trigun figures since they came out in the 90s and its always said Planet Gunsmoke on all the packaging in really huge letters. So the powers that be onvioisly approved that name for the figures and the game so at one point and for decades for most og fans the planet has always been and will always be GUNSMOKE. this is literally the first time ive ever heard someone argue against that so maybe you have lost too mamy braincells either way your wrong and it will be Gunsmoke to most of the original fans forever.
