    One could argue that Vash the Stampede perseveres despite all the hardships he’s had to endure and kept a cheerful demeanor through it all. He acknowledged the harm he’s done but is also willing to atone for it as much as he can. For readers who’ve done bad things in life but want to make up for it, that seems inspirational.
