the first chapter of the new arc is outhttps://comic-days.com/episode/12207421983615484271>Austad, one of the four elders of mecha, plots to unify Mars and restore the Martian Empire of Maworus. Having finally entered the world of mecha, Yoko and Erika find themselves living through an era of turbulent storms that will engulf the entire solar system.
>>287911150Yeah, that's an logical trial to use on ten years old.Gally better put it to shame, I want to see her murder dangerous enemies.
>>287911150Nice.Kishiro really meant it when he said fuck them kids.
>>287911150Oh fuck yes, best news of the day. Where is team pixie uploading scans of this? I hope it's not mangadex.
>>287911150I gave up on this during Gyapollo namek. I still finished MC but I don't think I have it in me to endure more blueballing from this lazy bum.
Gotta love how irredeemably shit Mars is. At this point I'd take even the dystopian cyber punk trash heap slums on Earth over that fucking never ending warzone.
>>287911552It's usually either Mangadex or the RippersAnime forum
>>287911150hell yeah
>>287911615yeah i really do wonder if the whole planet is a shithole or if we just see the bad parts because of the plot>>287911150Okay guess how many kids are gonna die brutally in this one
>>287911150it seems like we moved from toddler alita to actualll loli alita
gonna to a shitty dump of the raws
>>287912998
>>287913023this school looks pretty good for the mars standards we have seem
>>287913049is the one with short hair the flashback lady that saved them from the minefield way back?
>>287913068
>>287913094
>>287913134
>>287913159>>287912723didn't take long but with them wanting to be child soldiers i expected nothing less
>>287913187and thats all for today short chapter but it feels good to be back, would also dump the tl if it comes out anytime soon
>>287913227>dump the tl if it comes out anytime soonI'll be waiting patiently
>>287911150 I haen't read Mars Chronicles since That soldier discovered the secret cannibal mercs. What has happened sice then?
>>287913619...it ended, you dropped a manga less than 4 chapters before the end?
>>287912723Mars so far is a eternal medieval germans + guerrilla wars trying to get a bit more of power than the people that lives in the nearest mountain with big parts of the population suffering hunger while there is a lottery about becoming the membrane that keeps areas in the planet habitable.I don't remember if kids have legally no human rights yet or if it evolved from how nice Mars is.
It's been forever since this flashback started, jesus christ what was the last thing that happened in the present, again?
>>287913672i think they still had rights on mars back then atleast but the rest of the solar system not sure
>>287913744i think alita meeting with nova on mars
>>287911150>2026>still no Alita anime
>>287913852You mean Super Nova.
>>287913867not a fan of the OVA?
>>287911150poggggg
>>287913881yeah im sorry, he was the one with multiple brain chips in his head like dabi right?
>>287913969Yes that's what made him Super.
For me it's Aga Mbadi.
>>287914216yeah he was really fun one of the best parts of last order. Wish i saved some of the reaction images from the storytime
>>287914216I loved it when yoga did jack shit.
iirc the mangaka dropped a bunch of short stories between Mars and this one, and they’re supposed to be set in the same universe as Gunnmno translation tho
>>287914868wait didn't know that, looks interesting
>>287914868Fuck.
>>287914868any idea were one can find the rest of the raws?
>>287913227Why is Gerda surprised?
is this true we getting weekly chapters?
>>287915138google says it's a two-parter, but as far as I know only the first one is on the raw siteshttps://rawotaku.com/read/%E5%A4%AA%E9%99%BD%E7%B3%BB%E5%8F%9B%E5%BE%92%E5%88%97%E4%BC%9D/ja/chapter-1-raw/
>>287915334I mean they'll probably be weekly with a lengthy hiatus between every volume, just like mars chronicle.
>>287915357thanks anon, really like to see the different planets with their weird cultures fucking space france on venus
>>287911150holy shit finally, I just finished my reread of the series last week
>>287911150Woohoo!>>287913049>4 years after Keun's death>>287913068Yeah, that's Gelda.>>287913227Damn, that's really short. Not much of a stopping point. The trial's actually less bullshit than I expected so far, but there's still time.
>>287916096>The trial's actually less bullshit than I expected so farYeah I expected the kid who fell into the water to get eaten by killer crocodile robots after they showed the pendulum blades
>>287913134DUDE, LOOK AT THE SHAPE OF HIS HEAD!
>>287917525He wore headphones since he was a baby.
>>287916096>>4 years after Keun's deathif it's been 4 years what have they been doing all this time? Why are the trials only starting now?erica and yoko don't even look 4 years older, though they're both cyborgs now
>>287913134>>287913159oh that guy's gelgt, I didn't recognize him with the hat
>>287917737Wait you're right
>it's been 33 years...
>>287913187Jesus Christ
>>287917737He was also in the very last chapter of mars chronicle. Didn't expect them to also make him coach a bunch of kids when he's not out in secret missions killing fellow kunslers who knew too much.
>>287917974Part of me wants Ido to show up in Mars even if it's contrived and unrealistic considering his current circumstances of being on fucking Earth.
>>287917975It's not a day in Mars if there's no dead kids.
>>287918050yes, what did gelgt mean by this?he talks like he's not really human, and it seems like dasein sent gelgt to grunthal as an infiltrator rather than gelgt being a knustler first
>>287918065I mean earth is part of the solar network again so he could leave for some diplomatic mission maybe even with our guy khaos but for any of that to happen we would need to get out of the flashback.On that note was it ever explained why the rest of the solar system just let earth fall apart and didn't interact with it at all? I mean it was a shithole but it didn't seem anyworse than mars
>>287918199>On that note was it ever explained why the rest of the solar system just let earth fall apart and didn't interact with it at all? I mean it was a shithole but it didn't seem anyworse than marsI guess the martian colonists wanted to live on the land and terraform mars the same way venus waswhereas the ruling class on earth didn't care about rebuilding on earth, the whole point was to avoid the risk of human extinction from meteorite impacts in the first place. So the ruling class from earth built jeru and were happy to live there and forget about earth, while the venusians and martians never had a reason to leave the surface in the first placealso I think someone mentioned treaties around not developing land on earth. Officially there were no living humans on it
>>287918275Ah thanks, I should probably start a reread because i can't remember most of the lore
>>287918159Maybe he's an honest to god AI that's just pretending to be a cyborg?
>>287918557yeah I wonderlike in modern day gunnm there's very little distinction between a robot and a cyborg with a digital brain. But ~300 years in the past a person with a brainchip would most likely not be seen as human, or even think of themselves as human
>>287911150>the first chapter of the new arc is outOh great! Another run of Gunnm from Kishiro saying he's going to end only to get filled by introducting characters while phazing out older ones without actually delivering on anything until the next manga... haha...>>287913187>>287913227At least they're finally training. But did he really have to jump into it like nothing? Kishiro has an adhd problem, fucker gets too sidetracked with ease>>287913744Reminder: Vilma is still exploding in that plane.
>>287913187So the kids aren't all cyborgs to begin with? Is this training just an excuse to chop them all up and put them into mechanical bodies?
>>287919703Probably
>>287919703Good theory. Depends if they consider the fuckups worth salvaging though.
>>287911150Oh fuck I almost missed it !
>>287913227She's already stoked to see people die lol. This is what I wanted from Mars Chronicals anyways
>>287914868>>287915357Neat
>>287915357It's full in Spanish in Dex
>>287923928Sick, thanks anon
>>287913455Thank you for posting.
PK is a truly strange group—no ideology, no religion, just a bunch of Fightingfags (or should I say, “used to be”).
>>287926729>used to beWhat are they now then?
>>287913650 How was I suppoed to know it was ending?
>>287913672>>287913829Kids are illegal in most of space except for Mars Kingdom Parliament which is Alita's current friend faction. This was brought about by Ping Wu stealing the nanobot technology from Venus and making it public, which made everyone nigh immortal but kids as in new generation became a threat to current way of things.I love Last Order worldbuilding.
Can someone remind me in what order should i read the Alita manga ? ive read the original one, ive also read last order and some volumens of mars chorincles. It is a very messy history.
>>287929885>in what order should i read the Alita manga ?Start at chapter 1
>>287929885i mean thats the order, og alita, last order, mars and then this new manga. The only confusing part is that og Alita has a retconned ending. The canonical ending is chapter 51. The subsequent "ANOTHER FIGHT" chapters were created because the author thought he was going to die and wanted to wrap up the story.
>>287930339ah brain tumor cant be this cute
>>287930631>>287930339does she still have eyes on her brain?
>>287929885Release order, duh.
>>287929885Am I thinking of a different manga, or are the last chapters of the original no longer canon?
>>287930951yeah canon manga ends at chapter 51
How was Mars Wars Chronicles? I only read part of it cause the release schedule or translations slowed down
>>287930617>The only confusing part is that og Alita has a retconned ending. The canonical ending is chapter 51.It's more of an expansion than a retcon since Last Order continues from the moment Nova exploded Alita and after all the plot it ends with Figure Four and Alita reuniting. Nothing complicated at all.>>287918199>>287918275After recovering, humanity's goal were the stars, so the surface was left behind and stagnated while all the development happened in space.
>>287929885first manga, then last order, then that spinoff of last order side stories, then mars chronicle and finally panzerkunst chronicle. Keep in mind LO retcons the last few chapters of the original so you might be confused.
>>287931078depends on what you want, if you actually want the main plot to progress you will be disapointed.If you want a prequel set on mars covering alitas backstory and world building you will be happy.
>>287923928the spaniards have been killing it latelyso many fan translations coming out in spanish before any other language
I just want to see the clones again, man.
>>287928454space nazi terrorists basically
>>287911150Is this a sequel to the prequel? Weird but okay.
>>287926729yes, this is what austad was talking about with the zonohedron guythere was no philosophical aspect to panzer kunst
>>287913455>assume the position
>>287936592it's really just a continuation of the prequel
>>287936639
man, this guy should stick to trad art, digital just isn't for him
>>287936717And that way is ritualistic cannibalism?
>>287936955no, he's anti-cannibalismhe just wants to rule mars
>>287911150It's amazing how much his art and story and tone changes along the years and it's always good. At first i didn't like because the alita story just turned into a fucking mess but i can't deny each arch is good.
>>287914216Did nothing wrong
>>287919703The last chapters of Mars Chronicle answered that.
>>287911150blessed dayblessed threadi was here
>>287933641I miss Dass.>>287931078enjoyable but rather inconsecuent in the big picture, a great return to form but neglected of further advances after Muster.>>287930617There's no retcon
>>287913134You think the kid with the scar on his face is Bertram?
>>287923928Sorry for begging but do you have a link? The results on MD are blank
>>287911150>more flashback namek
>>287923928>>287941004i cant find it either
>>287937851To this day the chapter where they show us how Mbadi became Trinidad is one of the coolest shit ive read ever.The way they show the recording of the evil doctor while his present self is beging for his life is so genius. God, i love last order even when the ending is kind of shitty,
>>287941618Copy the tittle on >>287915357and search it on MD. You can even copy all the %...D in the url and it works.
>>287913023cute. How old is the artist?
>>287943911infinite thanks anon. sorry for bothering.
>>28794430359 and still going strong
>>287933896I feel like Sechs could carry his own series. Some parts of last order felt like he was the mc
>>287944359how rare, i would expect him to be fucked up like all the others
Fuck you bring back Aqua Knight.
it would be funny if this becomes some sort Azumanga slice of life in the middle of the gore.(I'm actually not a big fan of this turn of event, the panzer kunst should be harsh but not a fucking meat grinder)
>>287919405She'll be fine.
>>287919405>Kishiro saying he's going to endyou just make shit up in your head to be mad. Stop that.
>>287944480Kishiro is a sensible guy after all. When thought he was gonna die he actually just speedrun the ending for the first series in a rather spectacular yet definitely less elaborate manner. Pretty rare for an author to give a shit about the tying up the story
Speaking of there's a few small stories tucked away at the end of the BAA: LO omnibus books that nobody even noticed. Some of these dudes even show up in the main story (Zappa and Aleph)
>>287944570Yeah, I'm not sure how the guy that survived Gyappollo in the plane could pass this trial at all.
Alita won
Desty Nova won
Yoga won
>>287947523He lost, but he was right, he was the only thing stopping the universe going shittier.
So are still in flashback?
I miss Keun, he was the coolest dude who didn't deserve to go out like that
>>287944839so the mangaka curse did try to slay him
>>287950878In a way he had a loophole, by finishing it he was saved thus that allowed him to go back, scrap the ending he made, repurpose a bunch of its elements for a later ending and continue from where he left of.
>>287950113yeah its sad most cool guys in this manga just die, its even worst girls fault in a way like pic rel >>287933641
>>287950971sasuga
is it actually true that most of the stuff we are learning and seeing now where allready used and revealed in a old alita game?
>>287951053I only know that the whole martian queen daughter thing was real in the game but a bullshit lie in the actual manga so yeah they used elements from that.
>>287913187>>287913227What kind of training benefit comes from a fatal obstacle course
>>287950971wait, there is an ending that was scrapped? To what arch of the story?
>>287951324The last five chapters or so in the original happen in Tiphares. They got scrapped to continue the series.
>>287951053Alita being a tumor and the talking gun is all that I remember
>>287953471Imagine if after the mars flashback is over we get another prequel covering her adventures on venus and how she got her gun before we go to the present
>>287913187we are backBACK TO KILL CHILDREN
>>287952210>>287951324there were some funny scenes that were lost in the scrapped ending
Just started rereading the series and they made a big point about how the scrap yard only exists to funnel resources into zalem. But what did jeru do? Its in the middle of the ocean right? How do they get stuff?
>>287951180Improved teacher:student ratio?
>>287955821i wanna see that
>>287944622>"This is the story I want to tell the most" -Kishiro about Mars Chronicles
>>287957687Well it seems like it isn't the one people want to read the most
>>287957714Well... about that>Constant Nameks within a flashback namek>several hiatus (plural)This is why MC got shelved
>>287914216What exactly made him uniquely qualified to detect necros that Alita can't do with the super computer attached to her?
>>287944839Given the original ending I do wonder if we trust the moon priestess (remember her from years ago?) Since Alita turning into a tree has been prophetic since 30 years ago
>>287951053Ish the Queen thing is true in the game, here it's a Munster plot. Which I think is done moreso to further connect Erica and Alita. I mean just being real Erica is effectively Munster's daughter so she's now Alita's cousin
>>287957687To be fair the fact he made a game out of it originally speaks volumes
>>287958549>if we trust the moon priestess (remember her from years ago?)no I don't remember that at all
Question: Do you think people will really go insane if they were told their brains was a computer chip ?
>>287958617honestly I think a lot of people would, and a lot would kill themselvesthis is one of my favorite twists in manga
>>287958617How did nobody figure that shit out? Like legitimatly only 2 tiparians knew and it drove them insane but with the amount of killing that goes on in this universe youd think somebody would get shot in the head or gibbed and onlookers would think hey wheres this guys brain? Or somebody doing maintinance on a cyborg.
>>287959667zalem barely has crime because everyone is heavily indoctrinated and genetically engineered, and violent people are exiled or killedall the law enforcement seems to be done by AI, and anyone who finds out about the brainchips is arrested and has their memory wiped, and any brain surgery is probably done by AIthe thing is zalem society is incredibly controlled and authoritarian, they just don't realize because they're heavily indoctrinated and have nothing to compare their society to
>>287958617I think a lot of people would freak out, especially religious people. I think that finding out that you were a machine would fuck with most people
>>287956189Fish, seaweed, and a lot of brown tribal chick ( all my headcanon)
This guy is cool. Way cooler than Zekka.
>>287960085Nah, nothing will ever top this sequence for me.
>>287961805
>>287961816
>>287961831Pure gold.
>>287958617>Wait, I'm just code?Is quite the realization, even Alita after knowing the whole truth and not being designed genetically to feel the perfect utopian human had her breakdown knowing she had given her original brain.And there was that whole thing about Tiphareans using the chips to make Alita copies, with the boss saying they didn't needed her to be human anymore, or something like that, and not knowing they had one in their heads anyway.
>>287961845the zekka and sechs parts were pretty good
>>287956189Actually its Nezher(Gurat) which is the counterbalance city. Jeru is the space city above Zalem
>>287957687so you admit it, he never said he was going to end.
