The Great Jack-o-Lantern Quest: Part #2

Contestant #2: Vash the Stampede

Okay, this was daddy's idea. Vash the Stampede is the primary character in our favorite Anime series (Trigun), as well as our lost little guy's middle name. As a result, Jack thought it appropos to carve the likeable Christ-type into the pumpkin as a Jack-o-lantern.

Seen here are both Vash's characteristic face and crossed fingers, which represent his favorite "war cry" and motivation for his actions: "Love and Peace!!!". Dad went a little overboard, however, in insisting that we actually carve the Japanese Kanji writing characters for the words "Love" and "Peace" in the side of the pumpkin as well.

It also turned out better than expected, but it will be up to you guys to tell us which is best. Shown here are both lit and unlit Vash faces, as well as lit and unlit Kanji.
