[hennyo]

Well I'm going to be heading home for lunch, can't wait to view the raw.

[Rindain]

Wow...this story is getting intense.

It's great that we are seeing more backstory for Mbadi (I can't read Japanese, but it seems as though that trapped scientist on Pluto is the source of one of his brain chips). It also seems as though he has not incorporated a Nova brain chip yet.

Seems like Alita is toying with him a bit....probably not a good idea for her...

He didn't incorporate any of Nova's chips into his own chip structure. He let the Nova brain he had have autonomy as his "assistant."

Alita appears to be in control for the moment, though...

Spoiler:

It seems that the doctor from Pluto had the Salem mark

[Kamui04]

Already translated halfway but the dialog between Dr. Vares & Mbadi is kinda long and it will take some time. I need to re-read some old chapters to search for some names/terms so they stay consistent. Also I kinda suck with the sound FX, if anyone has something better it'll help a lot.

Read the full translation below.

[HumanRage]

OH GODS

best chapter of the year !

thx for this great christmas gift !

[Kamui04]

Ok, here is the finished translation, enjoy. The few lines where Dr. Warez explain about his experiment were kinda hard and I might have got it wrong. Rant: I really hate how the Japanese like to repeat the same word over and over cough*livestockproofoffreewilldefeat*cough

panel2
Dr's video: Well done, bringing me to a checkmate...
panel3
Mbadi: !?
panel4
Dr's video: By the time you see this recording, I'll most likely be at your feet begging for my life.
Dr's video: This survival battle is providence, the defeated has no right to live and you are the victor.

Author Note: Dr. Jean Warez... Born under the GENE Project, he was the second scientist from Zalem (Typhares) to be selected. From ES year 469 to 472 he was involved in a series of Nanomachine terrorist acts, in which more than 12 million people lost their lives becoming the worst criminal in history. Later this period of terrorism was referred as "Warez Hazard".

pg19
panel1
Dr's video: There's nothing suspicious... The frightened man over there is the real me.
Dr's video: Naturally being a coward, I thought that unless I used this method I wouldn't be able to communicate my true intentions.
Dr: Uhhh
panel2
Dr's video: Humans are
Dr's video: cattle
panel3
Dr's Video: just like chickens bred in a cage and destined to be processed as food.
Dr's video: In this society, humans by themselves have no choice but to be reduced to livestock. That's the reality.

pg20
panel1
Dr's video: Once I even had an ordinary dream...
Dr's video: to have a loving family
Dr's video: to leave a discovery in the history of science...
Dr's video: to make a contribution to the development of mankind...
panel2
Dr's video: However when you reach "reality", you realize everything is but a fleeting illusion.
Dr's video: Then I began experimenting on how long it'd be possible to deny this livestock traits.
Dr's video: The subject of my experiments... A proof of free will which destroys all moral law.

panel3
Mbadi: And you say that was the reason for your crime...
Mbadi: For the sake of that, how many million people...
Mbadi: My subordinates...!!

pg21
panel1
Dr: Hic hiic please don't shoot...
Dr's video: So, keeping up this evil conduct was my proof of a free will.
panel2
Dr's video: Of course, I was conscious it would lead to my own ruin.
Dr's video: however, my intention to escape this meat packing plant and survive was unsuccessful and went under.
TL Note: By meat packing plant Warez must have meant the society he's speaking of.
Dr's video: and then, Mbadi, you being the winner... it seems I was proudly defeated.
panel3
Dr's Video: You might have realized that I prepared this fight in Pluto in order to test you.
Dr's video: And you showed me a magnificent evidence.
Dr's video: That you're the only man in the world that deserves defeating me.

pg22
panel1
Mbadi: Don't overestimate me.
Mbadi: I'm only... fulfilling my duties.
panel2
Mbadi: This kind of cruel conflict... I didn't wish for it
Mbadi: I only wanted to live happily... with the ones I love!!

pg23
panel1
Dr's Video: You being the winner, by all means I wish you to take the prize from the bottom of my heart.
Dr's video: That is
Dr's video: Transplanting my brainchip into your brain.
panel2
Mbadi: Tra... transplanting the brainchip!?
panel3
Dr: Hiii, he said it to confuse you... Don't try do it!!
Dr: I don't wanna die!!
panel4
Dr's Video: According to simulations, after the brainchip transplant you'll be able to use all my knowledge and intelligence.
Dr's video: Of course it's not possible for everyone. If the host is weak his mind will surely collapse.
Dr's video: However, if it's you, it's possible. You'll stand on unexplored ground in human history... You'll become a superhuman.

pg24:
panel1
Dr's video: Right now, Only you and I are left alive on Pluto with no spaceship that can fly.
Dr's video: To return you'll have to cooperate with me to repair an spaceship, gather fuel and on top of that how many months of navigation it's gonna us.
panel2
Dr's video: But, that loser over there will certainly betray you!! If you leave him alive, he'll again become a calamity for the world.
Dr's video: I'm that kind of man.
Dr: That... That's a lie! Please believe me!!
panel3
Dr's video: Your only way to survive is to remove the brainchip from his skull and transplant it.
Dr's video: I guess you'll be able to manage all the equipment & facilities prepared.

pg25
panel1
Dr's video: Accept it! to triumph over me here on Pluto
Dr's video: and becoming a superhuman is your destiny!!
panel2
Dr's video: Aga Mbadi, become the master of this double-edged sword's power!!

<Mbadi: I wasn't the one that stopped that punch,>
<Mbadi: she stopped it on her own will!?>
Text: What's Alita thinking!?
tl note: The text translates as "What happened to Alita", but also can mean "What came to Alita's mind/What is Alita thinking"

I edited the script again so it's easier to read. I also made a few corrections to some lines.

[crazyankan]

Many thanks!
Took the liberty to change some names in your script.

[crazyankan]

Phase 66 done
Phase 67 Almost done
Phase 68 we have a script
Phase 69 have a script. Needs proofreading.
Phase 70 have a script. Needs proofreading
Phase 72 have a script. Needs proofreading
Phase 73 have a script. Needs proofreading

Not gonna be a x-mas release this year

[crazyankan]

Ok, I started to made a superquick release. I have done 2/3, but now I must stop and shop x-mas presents.

But it will be done later.


Start proofreading so we can have a nice and proper release later

[CaelWard]

I have yet to read a scanlation that suffered from not translating the sound effects into english sound effects. I'm sure you dont have to worry about that at least.

[crazyankan]

Ok, here is the fast version of phase 73.
http://www.mediafire.com/?7yi2ygyxzwn

Don´t spread this version.

this is the public gunnm forum ...
how do you expect it will not spread ?

[Kamui04]

On the quick release, there was a mistake on pg21
The full tl note was TL Note: By meat packing plant Warez must have meant the society he's speaking of.

When I pasted the script the forum added a line break. "Warez must have meant the society he's speaking of." shouldn't be part of the panel2/globe3. Sorry.

I deleted those random line breaks an edited the script so it's easier to read.

Not been spread so much is maybe better to say
Hopefully the release never gets to gotlurk, baka updates & nyaatorrents

[othergrunty]

Okay finaly got to read it.

Well as much as its nice to build out MBadis character it felt a bit... overused to have another flashback centered chapter.
I finaly want to see the ZOTT end so the story can go into other directions.

Also i really hope Gally isn't even more overpowered now. I mean someone must still be able to beat her.
Its also kind of unfair towards Sechs who just finaly got a body that could take on the Im. Body of Gally (including the usage of Plasma), only for Gally to get a better one again.

Brings up the fear for me that Gally might simply overpower enemys instand of using panzerkunst skills... on the other hand.
In Volume 2 it was already remarked that Gally, when nothing else goes, simply goes punshing the enemy until he is dead, so i guess that is still normal and i just forgot that for a second.

One thing i really found was intresting was to see Mbadi showing feelings at the end (the smile), since so far he hasn't shown much. The highest form of reaction, i can remember, was when he nearly couldn't prevent himself from laughing after Sechs told Zekka how old she was.

The ZOTT ain't gonna be over for a while, so I'd suggest hunkering down and waiting it out.

All we've seen of this new body is that it can cause nanomachine erosion and can defy Trinidad's hacking attempts. Its power in combat has yet to be really tested.

Mbadi wasn't even around when Sechs told his age. He's grinned more than once before that.

[othergrunty]

Mbadi wasn't even around when Sechs told his age. He's grinned more than once before that.

Really i thought so far he had only shown some kind of "Lets see if i can move a few muscles in my face" smile but not really a human reaction.
Guess i have to check past volumes again.

But yes Mbadi was around when Sechs revealed her age and as you can see here was barely able to stop himself from too.

Of course its just the joke that what Sechs said was so embaresing that even Mbadi reacted.

Well, shut my mouth! Hahahaha! Those little details slip right past me! Thanks!

[HumanRage]

ZOTT can't continue, the whole arena is wrecked and shutdowned, all spectators are being evacuate ...

first, kick trinidad's ass, then kick everyone's else ass, then ... Profit !

[romanus]

thx for this fast release !!! it's a real x-mas present for me !!!
I read it with so pleasure !!!
humanrage, I think U have to trust people a little more... or am i too naive ?... lol
big thx to kamuidrc & crazyankan !!!

Well, she won't kill Trinidad, that much is clear. But they don't win the commonwealth prize if they don't WIN...meaning that they have to beat whoever wins out of the Toji/Zekka alliance vs. the Venusian Seeded Team.
The tournament isn't over, is what I say. Because while the tournament is in effect, the Space Angels are protected from all sanctions. And they NEED that kind of barrier in place if they don't want everyone bearing down on them, and if they want to liberate Tiphares and the Scrapyard from LADDER's redevelopment program.

I think the tourney will continue until the end. At least, I hope it does, even unofficially. I want to see a Zekka/Sechs rematch, what the Venusian Seeded Team looks like, and what else lies in store for our heroines.

[urza]

First:

@crazyankan: What's the name of the font you used for your scanlation?


Second:

I don't think Alita is overpowered now, yex she is better than before but this was always the same.

Let me show you something.

Alita Vs Makaku 1
Alita won her first fight against Makaku, but Ido helped her and her body was destroyed.

Alita Vs Makaku 2
Both had better bodys, but Alitas skills and body were far above of Makaku's. She clearly won.

Alita Vs Jashugan
Both had equal bodys i think, but Jashugan won this battle with his last hit.
If he didn't had this problem with his brain Altia wouldn't had a chance against him.

Alita Vs Zappan
Alita had the weaker body, and only the hope to win by shooting zappan with Novas nanomachines. She did it but she was near completly anihilated by Zappan. She would be dead if she weren't rescued by Zalem.

Alita Vs Den
Ok Dan couldn't be killed but Alita had a very strong body, probably the strongest body on earth at this time and imense firepower. At last she destroyed Dans body.

Alita Vs Replica
Alita and the Replica had the same body probably the Replica the better wone becouse the shock resistent brainchip. Alita lost this fight in my eyes. She only survived becouse Lou rescued her.

Alita Vs Desty Nova & Co
Ok no real opponent in fighting.

Alita Vs Sechs
Alita had the better body but wasn't completly in control of him. Sechs hadn't enough experience to defeet Alita.

Alita Vs Sachmudo
Sachmudo had the better body but not enough skill against alita's fighting expierience.

Alita Vs Toji
Alita would be dead if Toji had less honor than he have. The ponit if Alita didn't want to kill him with her final blow is not clear to me, but i think she intended to, but with no success. So this battle was a loss for her.

Alita Vs Vilma
Completly loss for Alita. She hadn't a chance against her. she only survived becouse Vilme thought it was better this way. In this fight Alita had the far better body.

Alita Vs Creig
She won. Not to much problems.

Alita Vs Future
I think she now has a very powerful body, specially in Neru where she has more power becouse of Fata morgana, but on earth or Mars this won't have an effect or can't be used, probably only her firewall.
I think she wouldn't use it in a fair fight against Team Toji/Zekka.

What i will say is this: In her history she had often the far better body but lost the fight if the opponent has imense expierience. Other fights she survived/won only with help by a third person.
So in the future there will be enemys who can beat the shit out of her. A ptential oponent could be a a very skilled Panzerkust Master on Mars or something. But i see only 4 oponents at this time good enough for this job: Toji, Zekka, high ranked Panzerkunst Master and probably Vilma again ( but i think alita can now take real desicions, so she can her beat her easily)


I hope my english is not to poor to understand what i mean.


Third:
great chapter. The question is, why could Mbadi got the brainchip from the first Zalem scientist. Or have mbadi a dublicate from it and the scientist lives.
