Someone to Defend (まもり得るもの, Mamorieru Mono) is the ninetieth chapter of the Trigun manga. It is also the seventieth chapter of Trigun Maximum.

Summary
We see a brief flashback of when Livio saves Jasmine. In the present, Livio is confronted by Elendira. The two of them fight and in the end, Livio is impaled by several of Elendira's nails and is left to die.

Of course, due to his rejuvenation ability, Livio survives and is soon approached by a bunch of orphans and their caretaker who resembles Jasmine. The caretaker gives Livio a dark-colored poncho and one of the orphans gives him a long brimmed hat. He then heads to where the Ark is.
