As to the soul, theologians would fight to decide about that.

I don't mean it like that. I mean "soul" as in your conciousness and point of view. What makes you an individual, different and separate from everyone else. The conciousness from your biological brain can't be transferred into a chip ...

I also wonder about the brain chip technology. That would certainly solve the problem - if he had access to it, of course.

That wouldn't solve the problem at all. The consciousness attached to the biological brain can't be transplanted to the chip. At most you can transplant the memories, but ...

And it is even the 2nd time she let the opponent sever her arm to use it as a weapon (actually, this time, she severed it herself due to explosive charges, if i got the dialogs right).

It's not just the arm. The point is that Gally didn't land even one hit before Erica lost her cool after finding ...

With that timing, right after losing an arm? I don't think so. She did it to get a psychological advantage. And it worked.

MrFaber wrote:Maybe. Or maybe Gally was being soft while building up her on strategy. Probably the duel was about even.

I don't think so. If she was holding back, she woudln't have needed to play the psycological card to begin with.

At the very least that's my take until proved otherwise.

Gally mets Erika, they rumble, Erika looks like she has the upper ground, then Gally counterattaks and shows she is all but won. Then she asks to stop fighting and she tells Erika she is a necrosoldier. Erika is shocked and she seems not to believe that.

What are you talking about? Erica had the ...

Sergio Nova is apparently going to help me out with those tables of contents, so I guess I probably should do something in return... ^^
If you're interested in some spoilers for log:008 (both parts)...

According to Kirwitzer's autopsy, he actually was dead for quite some time. Caerula introduces ...

Brains are living organs. They can't possible live more than the 100 years at most. Erica either replaced hers with a chip or underwent some kind of Methuselization. Or this is a plot hole.

Last Order is post 'singularity' ... chip = brain

This was alluded to in the original series as the ideas were contrasted. In Last Order, we learn that super individualist Zekka chose to have his brain replaced with a brain bio chip. It stands to reason that he pulled the plug on his old flesh ...

And again, when a Salemite has his brain replaced, stays the same person in the process? Or is the original person the brain in the incubator, while the brainchip in the biological body starts a whole new person?

This isn't messy at all. The consciousness is part of the brain. So when someone's ...

Erika mentions that she saw Alita in the ZOTT. She was also disappointed Alita doesn't have a cat tail anymore. So it's in present time.
