Alright lets try this! One chapter everyday until we die.>The Social Welfare agency, a government sponsored corporation is in the business for saving orphaned or abandoned children who are terminally ill or injured beyond the point of saving.>Using cybernetic implants, the Agency uses a process called 'conditioning' to turn orphaned children into emotionless killing machines with hardly any memories, no human comfort and no free will.>Follow the life of Henrietta, a girl who barely survived a brutal attack that killed her family and who was saved and repaired by the Social Welfare Agency. Despite her conditioning and programming, Henrietta still has the heart of a young girl. She has not completely forgotten how to love, yet the very emotion is contrary to her training and programming. Can the Gunslinger Girl survive?Chapter 1 and 2desuarchive.org/a/thread/289333654Chapter 3desuarchive.org/a/thread/289371837Chapter 4desuarchive.org/a/thread/289393082Chapter 5 to 11desuarchive.org/a/thread/289532268Chapter 6 to 15>>289683304 Chapter 7 to 21>>289788027
Chapter and AND volume end!
>>289948475loli ryouna
Also I didn't get the chance to read the last chapter so will comment it here.>>289919447So we get Jose's backstory and Henrietta is thirsty! Also I give it to anon, I love this combat scene so much. It looks so cool
She is so romantic, like a maiden in love hoping to be rescued>>289919479or a misbehaving child in need for attention. I like the contrast
>>289919511What's up with Padania? Why are they so violent?
>>289919535Nice save! They are quite effective at times
>>289949299I'd watch her films.
>>289919564Wonder what effect that'll have in her
>>289919586So cuuuute!
>>289919610Was he ordered to treat Henrietta like that? Or why is he so unhappy about it?
>>289920079Damn, I keep thinking these terrorists all have reasons to hate the shady glowie organization who takes orphans and turns them into cyborg assassins
>>289920100>>289920146Must be hard to beat the allegations if you get too friendly with the cyborg girls.>>289920163>Jose spends all his time with Henrietta but never seems to touch her muchWhat did you expect, woman!??!?
>>289948017>please let me save abused children everywhere!>ends up working for an agency that brainwashes orphans and turns them into killing machines
>>289948091>>289948110Damn, heavy stuff!
>>289948188Wonder if this doctor enjoys his job>>289948318Is she showing cleavage?>>289948475Damn!
>>289949125Damn, that was so sad. Did she manage to survive or is the doctor gone? This was a really good story
>>289948728>1 leg amputatedThey were going to turn her into a fucking nugget
>>289950360Indeed. Did they reach the rape part?
>>289950232It takes a while for it to come back up, but what happens to Rachelle gets brought up at the end of volume 7: Yeah, Rachelle bled out and died before help could make it.
>>289950561Sad. Oh well, it was a really well written story. I guess this is why after all this time Gunslinger Girl seems to be one of the best "girls with guns" stories.
>>289950434the rape comes first
>>289949918He's a single dad on a police wage, how else is he going to get state of the art medical treatment, revalidation and therapy for her trauma? He can't exactly start a gofundme in 2005 or whever this is.
>>289950724I mean, the main competition is the Bee Train trilogy and Lycoris Recoil. Maybe Aria the Scarlet Ammo or Black Bullet, but both of those are pretty goofy. Marginal Operation never got an anime either. The bar's just not that high, if I'm being honest, but GSG at least is extremely well researched and put together with attention and care. >>289949918That's something you'll have to wait until volume 10 to learn about, but it's worth the buildup for sure.
>>289950924Eh, I don't know, do they really all follow the same exact order? Seems doubtful to me.
>>289949151sweet
>>289951567but alzo a little bitter.
>>289951448>>289948110>>289948698
>>289951189>GSG at least is extremely well researched and put together with attention and care.That I can agree with. It's a really well made show.>The bar's just not that highYou're forgetting Youjo Senki
>>289952264Eh Gunslinger Girl still got the better story
>>289894965>>289895466>Rico >thinking
>>289952264>Youjo SenkiIt's never qualified as a Girl and Gun for me. Too fantastical, not enough gun autism.
>>289953339Definitely thinking of how to horribly maim a terrorist so Jean can call her a good girl.
>>289948447>>289948475Based Major SallesTriela deserves to get dunked on from time to time
>>289955730In a way it's for her own good since she shouldn't get too cocky. That may be deadly in real combat
>>289949748The terrorists don't really know or believe that there is a glownigger agency with loli assassins until much later where they begin to devise ways to defeat them through antimateriel rifle ambushes.
>>289951189We deserve better written series about girls and guns!
>>289948165what is this weak shitI was promised mechabare
>>289956836Chapter 1 had that with Henrietta getting raped so hard both her holes prolapsed and she lost an eye did they stick it in?.I didn't expect Italians to enjoy guro so much
>>289948430kek that's so meanIt must be fun being a drill sergeant coming up with new and interesting ways to humiliate recruits
>>289958282Ultimately the goal of the drill sergeant is still motivating and training the grunts, so the punishments need to be effective negative reinforcement rather than plain sadism, which will just demoralize the grunts and make them want to frag you.
>>289958282Agreed, and it was hilarious how he did that to Triela too
>>289959434They are an amazing group. It feels like I'd like to work there
>>289947953I liked this chapter, Triela and Henrietta make the best stories
>>289962824She is so amazing, I really enjoyed her last chapter
Poor Triela, she suffered a lot
>>289948430Smuggest Triellers
>>289964969She will suffer more before this is over
>>289949205Thank you for posting.
>>289948017huh, so he also changed his name
>>289956890>I didn't expect Italians to enjoy guro so muchMaybe it was an immigrant gang.
>>289948318cute...
>>289949125man...
>>289949822>What did you expect, woman!??!?hug the loli
>>289964969She doesn't remember.
New volume starting now!
Love the architecture
That is so sad. To have to admit they are no longer the same, yet still alive.
kek politicians always looking for ways to profit
So many dirty politics this chapter.
Quite competent, I assume a padanian?
Chapter 23 "Ephemeral" end!
>>289971918Operation Gladio my beloved
So what was the journalist's problem?
>>289972110Just like my mexican telenovelas
>>289972928He's a padania terrorist
>>289955730Triela is kind of the resident jobber, she lost to the shota, Rico dabs on her when it comes to performance reviews, she lost to Mimi, the bratty teen, and now she's losing to middle aged men as well.
>>289974227>Rico dabs on her when it comes to performance reviewsRico dabs on everyone when it comes to everything actually related to being a government killer and not distractions like opera or literature or gardening or astronomy or etc etc
>>289971948What I really like about this page is just how fucking wrong this guy is, but also how much his wrongness makes perfect sense from his perspective. Really gives you the impression that they're chasing whispers and ghosts.
is lord kefka from gamefags here.
>>289972928He was one of those "right wing sympathizers" in the media the Prime Minister was talking about. You could see on this page >>289971991 talking about his "ideals" about how the country "should" be but also being cagey and vague about them to lure Patricia into becoming his accomplice without her knowledge. This chapter is also pretty good showing how Padania is getting wise to the Social Welfare Agency, and the mechanisms the SWA is using to prevent the wider public from discovering their activities.
>>289971714The Terroni of the deep state tried to take the PM from us. They hate him because he says what we think. The PM is a patriot who'd die for us, a hero of the people.
>>289974910>This chapter is also pretty good showing how Padania is getting wise to the Social Welfare Agency, and the mechanisms the SWA is using to prevent the wider public from discovering their activities.Agreed, this cold war type stuff and intelligence gathering is really entertaining.
>>289974622He actually hasn't said anything that's objectively wrong. they are an agency with international backing that combats the far right. patricia is the one who is streching the logic to its extreme.
>>289976267Exactly, welfare agencies are the bad guys
Those terrorists make some pretty good points
>>289977366But they are against the girls, so they have to die
The government is good. I love the government. I'm not suicidal. Padania is a terrorist organization. I love paying taxes. Even of I ever disagreed with the government, the only way I'd ever express that is by means of a pre-approved protest gathering on a goverment selected space with a police escort under view of street cameras.
>>289978375This, I want no suicide by cop!
>>289978375
>>289978942BASED. Oh man, I wish I had seen the threads when it was even more popular
>>289974227Poor Triela, she may be a jack of all trades master of none.
>>289974300I mean that's her thing, she is pure combat
>>289982443Rico is basically the ideal, a killing machine that doesn't really care about stuff normal kids do, unlike the other girls who still need to larp as regular children in their downtime.
>>289976267The poisoner is claiming the Agency is a FOREIGN-backed organization supported by foreign 3 letter agencies, and implying that they do false-flag attacks in order to frame the poor, innocent, and most importantly domestic Italian far-right, that just so happened to have been doing the exact same thing to leftists during the Years of Lead. But in truth, the Agency is an entirely domestic organization. They were put together by the office of the Prime Minister, specifically and explicitly to destroy Padania and advance cybernetic and psychiatric research for survivors of terrorism. They don't ever commit false flags or get funding by the CIA like the right-wing groups did when enacting their "strategy of tension" in the 70's and 80's. They don't have to. Padania blows up plenty of shit on their own, and the Agency has a direct line of funding from the Italian government. Conti brought Patricia to an interview with that guy because he knew that's the story a right-wing ideologue in prison for terrorism would tell.
>>289982988Terrorists and logic don't go along, kek
>>289982988Didn't the SWA assassinate some opposition politician and then blame it on Padania?
>>289983810Yeah, but they did that to appease a major political backer that secured them funding, not defame Padania.
>>289982988I mean the "social welfare agency" is a front for spooks like "catalonia news" was. And realistically they probably do get some random EU subsidies. They cover up their shootouts by casting blame on the maffia and padania. And they do employ foreigners, wasn't Triela's fratello on loan from Interpol or something?
>>289984309Hartmann/Hilshire is basically being blackmailed by Jean to be there since he technically sprung Triela from a rogue op which got his colleague killed, which will more or less end his entire career. He also knows he can't pay for Triela's treatment or gain access to the SWA's tech to brainwash her rape away and replace her limbs without signing up as her handler.
>>289984030Por que no los dos?
>>289984309If they get grants from the EU (not subsidies, this isn't a company), it's for their public-facing psychiatric and cybernetic work, not their anti-terrorism work. If the EU knew what they were actually doing with their experimental treatment patients, they'd be standing trial at the Hague faster than you could say "gelato." >>289984842Did you read chapter 2? There's a decent amount of hand-wringing about it from multiple characters. Being able to blame it on Padania was more of a side-benefit than the reason they were doing it. They'd have still done the job no matter how they had to cover it up.
>>289984309So...are they bad guys?
What of the gunslinger girl tech is already achieved?
>>289986756The brainwashing tech is based on real experimental PTSD treatments. To advance them for the brainwashing and conditioning purposes used in the manga will never come to pass though. The combination of the scale of such research and the entire lack of ethics that would be required to realize it in even the most controlled clinical setting makes such development practically impossible.
>>289987489That we know of at least, I wouldn't be surprised if one gov or another has tried it.
you now remember that time when actual glowies showed up in GSG threads
>>289987712Trying isn't the same as succeeding. Research on the scale that governments can keep secret is inconsistent and doesn't provide good results. MKUltra is a great example of how secrecy and scale conflict to create useable results.
>>289987944Well good point there
She will grow to become a cute trad wife
>>289989447In the sense of her values, or in the sense she wants to fuck her brother?
