Breaking Down Legato Bluesummers’ Appearance


warnings: this post will contain discussion of sexual abuse and exploitation both in description and in manga panels from the original Trigun work.

Legato Bluesummers is one of the most interesting character I've ever taken the time to really look into. Through obsessive devotion to traumatic backstory, Legato really does come off as what people may assume is the perfect believer and cultist! But, despite that,  Legato is incredibly interesting and a lot of his scenes shape the direction of Trigun as a work. 

One of the most important ways that his character his portrayed, though, is his appearance. From descriptions from those around him to the way he presents himself, Legato is incredibly visual in his storytelling when it comes to his design.
