Should Sechs get a flashback chapter?

What do you think? Should Kishiro also give Sechs one or two flashback chapters or even a gaiden chapter showing a bit of Sechs past before she encountered Gally directly?

After all there are still unexplained details. For example how did she begann to develop a personality? How was she able to kill all the Tuneds by herself? Where did she got the quench gun or her Titan Blade from?
How was her faced damaged?
Could she have encountered people from Gallys past and let them live (for example an encounter with Figure Four who she told that Gally is still alive)?
And last but not least. How does she looks with a undamaged face?

By the way i'm someone who still looks at Sechs as female and somewhat harbors the hope that when they finish the ZOTT that Sechs switch back to a more tactical (Tuned like) female, Gally siced body (and travels to Mars with Gally)
Personaly i have the theory the reason why she left behind her beloved original Titan Blade on earth was something like that she and Nova had a deal that after they return to earth, he would repair her tuned body and upgrade it to the same powerlevel as the imaginos body (or something simliar). So that both her puppet and the "brute" body are just place holders which is also the reason they both have the same "damaged" face (and Sechs simply likes the male body for being larger in it than Gally).

PS: Sorry i know that i write to much but i am just existed at the moment.

You're right, there are some interesting facts in her past, wich we do not know. I think, you named them all

.
Question is, will a flashback occurs in LO (then its to make Sechs realizing something clearly, so he gets stronger (he need to get a bit stronger though, Zekka is waiting...)) or could it be a side story, then its pure information. I think, in the current events is no time for a long flashback now. Maybe if he meets Zekka...

What do you mean by "leaving her original Titan Blade on Earth"? I thought Sechs has his (her?) blade at his side all the time

Nope, the original Titan Blade that Sechs used against Gally (which she had hoped to use against Gallys damascus blade) in Volume 1 was pink colored and only around 6 feet tall when unfolded, it had not been seen since volume 2.

After Sechs lost to Gally, Elf and Zwölf picked up Sechs' body and her titan blade (it can bee seen being folded together by Elf). For example in page 189 you can see it on Elfs arms.
In Volume 2 you can still see Elf having it with her. She only leaves it behind for a short time when she and Zwölf try to trap that big monster (forgot its name) in theire wires.
However later when Gally beats the big monster and Sechs ask the stunned Nova why he is not laughing maniacly (because he always does so), you can still see them having the blade with them (i really miss Sechs original face).

However when Gally encounters them again in the MIB deep core they don't have the blade with them anymore. Also in Volume 3 you see that they didn't took it with them up the elevator either.

So the Titan Blade Sechs is using currently is a new one and not her original one.

A flashback chapter or an entire extra story, everything is possible.
The fact is that you're right. There are things to be explained.

Or Kishiro just failed.

I doubt that. There is no way you can create two over 2 long blades out two only 30 centimer long blades.
There is no way these two weapons are the same.

i agree that i'd like to see a side story of sechs (but only AFTER we get some more gally plot resolution, IMO the central plot could stand to move along a little quicker, and i really miss gally as a character, i feel like we spend so little time with her any more) but i actually love him as a guy (and i will use the male gender pronoun since that's how he currently self-identifies).

it reminds me of how in gally's motorball days she wanted to be put into a male racer body and forget the vulnerability of being female. it seems like sech's choice was originally just trying to maximize his raw power, and his fizziroy body is much stronger than his old tuned(?) body. i think part of it was also him trying to differentiate himself from gally, tired of being in her shadow (and probably also trying not to be like elf and zwolf who i LOVE - yay space bunnies!).

actually a lot of sech's character really reminds me of gally back in her tuned days, before she met figure and was only interested in killing and fighting. i think he makes a really great foil for gally, so we can see how much her character has evolved since those days, and sort of makes the fact that she is so small and sexy yet so very very deadly that much more remarkable, although it will be interesting to see where he goes from here, and how much he will diverge from her path.

so anyway, if at the end of the zott arc, sechs chooses to go back to being female, i will understand it as part of his story arc/character development, but right now i think he makes a very hot male character. and as the newscaster says he's the most popular male participant in the zott - if he were to leave every female fan (count me in here!) in the ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM would weep! I also love Zekka flirting with him, is it wrong to hope for some yaoi? grrowl!
