Changed publishers to Shonen Gahosha and continued serialization in Young King Ours. Due to the original publisher retaining the name Trigun, Nightow had to change the title to Trigun Maximum for the rest of the series. The first 3 volumes were published under the title 'Trigun' and the rest is compiled into 14 volumes of 'Trigun Maximum'. The chapter numbering also restarted.
