#though i think i read something saying tesla had two hearts but im not sure if thats true

So like

What if the reason Vash has that metal grate on his chest is so doctors can't do X-rays or MRIs or other imaging tests? Dude's definitely gotten patched up by people assuming he's fully human while he was knocked out. The easiest way to make sure they don't get a surprise look at whatever his alien internal organ situation is by making sure they can't use the normal machines for any tests, if they even have the machines for it in the first place. And he's already got all that metal imbedded in him, so what's a little more? Especially if his heart situation is, uh, different from humans. Like a different amount, or different placement.

#trigun #trigun 98 #trigun stampede #tristamp #i havent read trimax yet so idk if the hospital arc refutes this #vash #vash the stampede #i am a big proponent of 'plant anatomy is fucking wild' #hot take i think it would be cool if vash didnt have a physical heart in the traditional sense #open circulatory system like a real fucked up super big bug #though i think i read something saying tesla had two hearts but im not sure if thats true #also hot take i do not think he put it in himself. uuuuh i think some doctors on the airship decided this would be the best way to help him #while he was under and couldnt have input. something something people thinking they know best for Vash without asking him #something something paternalistic denial of autonomy in the guise of protection.
