Both deal heavily with the moral weight of wrong actions and the psychologies of the characters who bear the guilt of these actions. The main characters are similar in that, although both of them have sinned grievously, they both desire to atone for their sin and place a great deal of importance on protecting others whom they care about. A dark atmosphere pervades throughout most of both shows.

- Protagonists with mysterious backstories that gradually unravel - Main characters who have reputations for being very powerful/skilled with mixed feelings from the rumored people themselves - Take place in sci-fi worlds that have an empty/lonely feeling to them (Trigun has a futuristic wild west-esque setting while Casshern Sins is outright apocalyptic) - Tense action scenes - Although Vash (and Trigun in general) has a more upbeat and humorous tone, they both have great serious and emotional moments
