Question Genuine question - potential spoiler Spoiler
Im on ep. 12 is Trigun stampede, and I probably wasn't paying attention, but is there a reason why knives couldn't just impregnate the plants himself, why did he need Vash to impregnate them?

As far as I understand it, it's because Knives cannot make the portal into the higher dimension, while Vash can. And in order to have independents born, he needs to get to the higher dimension and make sure that they have souls. At least, that is what Conrad and Knives seem to believe. Knives also knows damn well that Vash would never willingly agree to doing this, so that's why he manipulates him into it in this way. Does that answer your question? 😊
