Manga Like Trigun

In Trigun Maximum, much of the chaos tied to Vash comes from bounty hunters chasing the enormous sixty-billion-double-dollar reward on his head for destroying the city of July. Despite his reputation, Vash has no memory of that event and keeps insisting on "love and peace." While he has incredible gunfighting skills, he only uses them defensively to protect lives whenever possible. The story reveals more layers of Vash's mysterious past and the broader history of human society on the barren world of Gunsmoke.

It asks whether different ethical systems can be compared and what happens when someone breaks their own moral code. The series looks at whether a person can redeem themselves after committing wrongs and how that path to redemption might work.
