I haven’t read the manga, but based on the show, the end is…alright.

The Trigun Maximum manga wasn't finished at the time the series aired, so their endings are unrelated. The last 4-5 episodes of the anime are complete originals. (There were two different manga series, and I think the original Trigun manga had more of the goofy-villain-of-the-week stuff, while Maximum, which picked up where the first series left off, was more serious.)

Things make so much more sense now. It all kind of lines up with where the shifts happened. Thanks for the explanation! Those old days where anime would blaze ahead of the source material were sure interesting sometimes.
