So, if I’m to believe Twitter today Nightow apparently did mention Vash and potential love interests in an old interview and-
(please forgive the shitty google translation but ya get the gist of it)
So, what I am getting from this is:
canonically, Vash avoids falling in love with humans (and from what we can see in the manga, any sexual interaction too) because their lives are far too short and he wouldn’t be able to ‘share a full future’ with them.
Okay, okay. Mr Stampede what did you mean by this then?
Everyday, Vashwood gets more canon in a way that hurts even more than the last and I can’t stand it.
What do you mean Vash doesn’t want to fall in love with people whose lives will inevitably end before his and he ends up falling for the one guy that was doomed from the start to die young.
Mr. Nightow we need to talk.

Please read this beautifully written fic by my friend at X @vnlvhrt https://archiveofourown.org/works/74437176
I present to you, Saitama the man who can take down a meteor with one punch, but can’t deny Genos his request.
the funny thing about kyuushi is how it drops lore in akajas instead of the main manga but because it’s an episodic gag manga, i guess you can’t help it. but with all the lore i got so far (and what a difficult thing it is. thank you dedicated fans) i think i like how the central theme really is the human-vampire (esp hunter) relationship.
If I had to pick my favourite Bonnoki’s illustrations, I’d probably go with the ones he made for Season 1’s special booklets.
Not only they’re quite minimalistic, which is probably the last word I would associate with Bonnoki’s artstyle, but they also show us how different these two were before Ronald went to Draluc’s castle, and I can’t help but feel a bit sad by looking at them?
I know Bonnoki said that Draluc didn’t really feel lonely during his time at the castle because he shared his company with John + Draus would often visit him, but I still feel bad for him. Like, he literally couldn’t even go somewhere simply because he would literally turn to dust the moment he tried to open the door to his own castle. He was basically just trapped inside. And aside from the hot springs in the basement and some trap rooms that looked like they came straight from some game, his castle really didn’t feel like it belonged to him, the hedonistic game-loving vampire.
As for Ronald, seeing him smokng feels so wrong (especially if you’re an anime-only fan who have no idea that he used to smoke in the first chapters), as if he’s not feeling well. No one is there greeting him, welcoming him home or just simply caring about him.
And so, we have two men silently looking at the same moon in the skies (let’s pretend that’s also what Ronald does after he lights up his cig): so far from each other, not knowing about their destined encounter later on.
And then, the last booklet for Season 1 shows us…
…how livelier and chaotic these two get when they’re together! Their lives have truly changed for the better after their first encounter!
