Well, that information turned out to be the wrong one, as that is the
description of the boomerang-on-a-cable guy that lead a gang that was
also going after Vash.  IIRC, the real Vash was shorter than him.

I recently was able to rent a copy of Louie The Rune Soldier a.k.a.
Rune Soldier a.k.a. Rune Soldier Louie (Whatever, I don't care) and the
priestess also seemed tall, however with Jeannie, it was more an
adapting to what made her stand out in combat since no adventurer worth
their salt doesn't rely on their strengths.  Another reason would be
that they'd need someone to haul their goodies back once they'd
finished raiding the tombs.  As to the Sakura Wars chick, I've never
seen the series so I'll avoid commenting on it.
