Raw chapter 7Kurt's and Max's backstories. This was not in the anime.
>>284953484No, I don't like their look at all>>284953617>>284953672so they just get transformed into cyborgs just because they joined? Isn't that kinda..fucked up?>>284954087not a fun of this backstory either. Instead of just being "thankless" it's now downright bullying and discriminationfirst time I think the manga has a downright bad chapter
Done.They have an upvote button at the end of the chapter, pressing that lets them know people like the manga: https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_007032_S/episodes/KC_0070320000800011_EVol 1 will be out on January 23rd.
>>284954270>No, I don't like their look at allGood thing there's no going back then...>so they just get transformed into cyborgs just because they joined?Could be due to the branches they joined.it's what Kameyama has eluded to their backstories being with the background info. It is a dark turn in tone and how they were treated was undersold, but this isn't a bad chapter.

>>284954087Ura baito?!
>>284953484>we actually see their old human facesMixed on this. I'd prefer if they just kept it a mystery but at the same time it's original content for the manga (and I have zero idea if this is going into the recut this February)
>>284954270I'm pretty sure the backstory said cybernetics is hard to come by for the average person, and the only people who would get them and aren't filthy rich like Makina have to join the military
>>284957310I hope they do a Haijo arrangement for every holiday possible
Yohey put his designs up Kurt
this was it
And Maxat least he looks irish now
>>284958825But why would you want to have 90% of your body be removed? Just so that you won't have to wear a helmet when going out into outerspace?
>>284958787>(and I have zero idea if this is going into the recut this February)The trailer made it seem like the extra scenes will be Ryoko's adventures while the subway is on the loose, but we'll have to see>>284958825The second option for poor are back alley operations
Total Slug Death
Continuing with Kurt and Max's background lore:>Kurt (Earth Age 18)>Growing up in a rough, unsafe neighborhood, Kurt felt a strong responsibility to protect his younger sister. At the same time, his father pushed an old-fashioned image of masculinity onto him, making him develop a complex about his weak physicality. To improve his sense of self-worth, he chose to enlist in the military and mechanizing himself.The previous lore dumps can be found here: >>284579299
>>284963169>Max (Earth age 18)>He was a narcissist with overwhelming confidence in his looks, yet at the same time he felt an intense fear and disgust toward the idea of aging. He blindly believed a recruiter's pitch "becoming a cyborg means you won’t age". He joined the military and ended up being mechanized.Kameyama's comment:>All in all, a pretty brutal life.
>>284963191This is just Ash Crimson
Why are slugs so evil?
>>284962517>>284963436Makina's mom...
>>284959706To get past the weakness of the flesh
>>284963191>obsessed with looks and has permanent smug grin>get assigned to a branch that has him get his face replaced with a screen that doesn't even have stand-in for a mouth>he didn't even fully realize what he was signing up forBrutal is an understatement, I'd say
>>284963985You know come to think of it she had the same insecurity Max does. She was afraid of aging so she put herself in a tube forever. Max is afraid of aging so he joins the military. It's so common a fear that the air force uses it to recruit. Fuck's going on in space for people to fear getting old this much
>>284953484>freckles Would
>>284967507I wouldn't worry about it
>>284953982Slugs are assholes
>>284954336I didn't really expect this much backstory. I thought it would be more like a few panels, maybe a few pages. I'm all for it though. Might as well take advantage of being a manga.

>>284967507What if the enhanced humans are like space elves who stay youthful for decades, making some normal humans yearn for that long youth as well
>>284967507Being that scared of aging is pretty normal and very profitable for the skin care, make up, and plastic surgery industry. Its pretty much the sci fi dystopian version of getting botched.
