The title, when directly Romanized from its original Katakana, reads "To-ra-i-ga-n." If you say it fast enough, it comes out like "Try-Gun."

Nagisa-sama is correct. Depending on what language you prefer, it can be "Try-Gun" or "To-rai-gan." But since most of the members here speak English, go ahead and stick with the first one.

It really should be pronounced as it's spelled, Tri-gun, as in "three guns."

spoiler[
1) his revolver
2) his bionic arm gun
3) the Angel Arm]

Hmm...I always thought that Vash's spoiler[Angel Arm counted as one with his revolver because he needed the revolver to transform his arm into the Angel Arm itself. ]

Right, it's pronounced try-gun.

I have always pronounced it Try-gun, and all the people that I know, pronounce Try-Gun too... So I think it is the right way...

I never seem to be amazed every time this thread gets a new post… Is it me, or has the forum been in a kind of slump -- as far as interesting thread topics that promote interesting discussions are concerned -- lately?
