Frankly i'm curious about a rather simple thing if we get scan a scan of 85 before a scan of 84 should it be posted uploaded or something even though a "spoiler" effect is going to be born as a result ?
You know skipping things like that is going to get annoying . I don't want to be like wtf just happened after missing phase 84 neither do i want to sit in agony & watch the threads for phases 86 , 87 , 88 appearing & getting endless comments while 84 still won't appear ...

The mangahelpers-guys messed up my confirmation-email so I couldn't post a request yet. I contacted them, let's see.

Ok its a bad idea, but like Twitchywrote said, we have to do something, otherwise the raw is lost for all eternity :/ (or at least until the volume release...). We could politely wait another month but then R-P cant say we're getting on their nerves. GLO is a very patient community ;).

Well, no matter what I decide on now it will be seen as rude and ungrateful, so I've resigned myself to sitting here and waiting for someone, somewhere, to deliver. Gives me a bit more to look forward to. :)

Finally I made a request at mangahelpers.com. You can look at it here:

http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44932

...and if you find any mistakes, say it :). I said them to contact crazyankan, I hope that's ok with you.

I doubt it will do anything but it's worth a try.

Maybe whatever he had controlling all of it...was damaged when Olympe cleaved him in half? It was all tied together, maybe by some bio-trigger.

I'm guessing, but yeah, it sure was creepy.

It is not a suit. It is his body.
He IS a monstrosity.

Certainly i dissagree

this thing is only organic suit.. when you look at him he certainly can leave without it.. Organic enginering just changes material of things not they "purpuse of being made".. and anyway.. how can you call organism which runs.. away in any possible direction with separate directions .. :/ :shock:

I#m more interested in ALita. She sits on top of Tiphares, munching cakes in a fish- shape and watches apathetic how her friend Toji is thrown into the vast space...? What is up is with her?

^ That's probably what those fish-shaped cookies do to you - they turn you into an emotionally amputated zombie. The moral of chapter 84 is: Stay away from animal-shaped cookies!

Reading Gunnm, I have always had a question: do cyborgs cry?
Now I have just found a second question: do cyborgs eat?

we see gally crying several times, and Toji too

and yes they eat, gally said in the first or second GLO that she only needs a little chocolate for her nervous system (which we now know she hadn't by then)

You did not understand my irony.
How can mechanical organisms cry?
Besides, Gally was not eating chocolate, but a sort of fish.
Again, a mechanical body is not supposed to have a digestive system (at least, as far as I think).

GLO Volume 1 page 117(ripper scan) Gally/Alita is eating from a bar of chocolate, stating she needs sugar(Glucose in Viz version) for her brain.

As for a digestive system/crying:
This is fiction, so the artist IS allowed to take some liberties to complete a certain scene/setting/etc.
In One Piece, we see a skeleton(Brooke) cry bucketloads(as far as I remember), so a cyborg crying isn't really THAT odd.
Certainly, as most, if not all cyborgs in GLO are fully artificial/metal apart from brain/spine, crying and a digestive system is highly unlikely.
After all, they seem to be having some sort of battery or generator to actually make their bodies function, so this would most likely also be what keeps their brain going.
In my experience, fictious forms of entertainment(manga among those) becomes a tad more enjoyable if you don't stop to ask questions about wether or not scene X would actually work in reality, but that's me^^

Well, Gally is supposed to be a cyborg, so part mechanical, part biological, and suc a being needs to eat. There are some scene from Kishiro in which Ido explain cyborgs' organic system. So cyborgs can eat. We can assume that the Imaginos body, at first designed as a cyborg body, has digestive abilities too. Now Gally is no longer a cyborg, she is an android and she no longer need it, but, back in Salem, she didn't know.

About crying, cyborg for sure don't need it, as they don't need hair, a expressive face or even a human shape at all. Some have a completely unhuman shape, some have some kind of mask instead of a face. Looks like everyone choose how "human" to look in purchasing a cyborg body, so, why shouldn't, a cyborg design engeneer, provide a body model of a crying system, just for extetic sake?

Finally, an answer that makes sense.
I would only ask why such an engineer decided to make them cry barrels and barrels.
Let me ask you a new question: where do the tears come from?

You can say too, all of those fuctions, cry, eat, sleep, and soo, are included in cyber bodys (at least in BAALO universe) for the sake of the psique sanity of the user, as for the food thing, in BAA you can read an omeke of Gonzu and Ido talking about why Gally... I mean, Alita as to have to go to the bathroom after each meal ;)
The tears.. those arent tears, they are just an oil leak, or maybe the water of the batery lol.



I think as there a chance we will see both Alitas (bio-Alita in the Incubator, mech-Alita in ZOT) leading a revolution in each reallty before merging and going to Mars.

Now, why was Vilma capable of anticipate M-Alita attcks?
can understand she can sense the electric flow in a bio-brain, but from that to sence the activity in a bio-chip is a great way.

My Opinion on the current discussion...

Post by MonolitH »

From what I remember a Cyborgs Reactor in Kishiro's Stories worked with fusion Power wich probably needs something to... Welll... Fuse?

Reality might cry for an Uranium/Plutonium based Fuel to power such a Reactor but honestly... Where the Hell, in times of Scrapyard, does one expect such quantities of this fuel arrive from?

Hitting 2 Birds with 1 Stone might not be a bad idea if the valuable parts of what has been eaten are seperated from the rest of it to nourish the organic parts before it's been used for the mechanical ones as it might also leave the Host of such a body the idea of still beeing alive ( 3rd Bird ) if he wishes to be so which might explain why the fuck everyone's crying like mad if the opportunity is given.

Ok, here are my corrections (note that I am doing it without the original Spanish translations; if anyone can give it to me, I would love that):

The title:
"The last proof of existence"//maybe it should be: "The ultimate proof of existence"

- But of course, without the original spanish text, I don't understand the context.

Who is going to arrive in finale...//Who is going to arrive in the finals...

the patient Gally?//with the patient Gally?

Will the kingdom Genome of Venus be?//Will it be the Genome Kingdom of Venus?

or the delegation of Space Karate!?//or the Space Karate Alliance!? (I think Space Karate Alliance is the official name for the team)

PS: If we can make a phase 84 tranlation script page in the forum later, that would be useful.
