TM Chapter 58

Sworn Friend (盟友 Meiyū) is the seventy-eighth chapter of the Trigun manga. It is also the fifty-eighth chapter of Trigun Maximum.

Summary
As Chapel continues to pin Wolfwood down with his cross gun while Razlo stands by and watches. We listen to Razlo's inner monologue on his thoughts of how Chapel treats his disciples and how he sacrificed his mobility to save Razlo.

Afterward, Chapel still pinning down Wolfwood confronts Miss Melanie and the children at the orphanage. Miss Melanie stands in front of the orphan children in order to protect them all and is chided by the children for her foolhardy attitude. It was after Chapel notes the familiarity of Wolfwood and Miss Melanie recognizes him. Forlorn by the fact that Wolfwood didn't follow her advice, Wolfwood innerly chastises himself for not being able to save himself or the orphans. However, he does note that he made a good friend.

Right when Chapel was about to finish off Wolfwood, a ship appears above them and from it arrives Vash to save Miss Melanie and the orphans.
