What is this?

As I cannot read Japanese, I cannot say what this is.
Would it be a new side story?

Me neither. Strange. Weird pictures. o_0 Maybe it's from extra story 2, which is yet to be discovered?

Are you talking about the reverse head illustration? on the first panel?

Well if this is the case it is ashman also known as ashen victor or aisha which should available for download in the maga section. but if it is the weird guy with the moustache just under the first panel I don't know. or the Iron fist thing at the bottom of second page I must admit I don't know either.

Actually, I made a confusion.
I will never understand Kishiro's site. No matter the page we are, the address is always the same.
So, forget it and check the image here.

well I think that this is an illustration Kishiro made for the Zott period before he actually chose the opponents he would make.
or a concept image of zechs before he had the fijiroy body? I am just guessing because it just looks like a normal illustration hardly having anything to do with the main plot but who knows?

Why do you hate us so?

Putting a 50k image on a file server that has 4 minute download delay for such a small file PLUS requires typing in a captcha... Cruel.

As for the purpose of the image...
From what can be gathered from google translation of the...

... it is a pinup done for the Ultra Jump Megamix vol. 2.

Pretty, shiny picture...
No relation to the storyline.

Well, it seems I will have to find a better server next time.
I promise I will look very carefully for it.

Many thanks for your info, denzacar.

Ok then, so what's this? I've seen it on Kishiro's site before, but didn't pay attention.

Check this out (links are from his site):

First is a LO2 monster, but with wrong dimensions. Also, there was nothing like this in LO2.

Second picture... something really strange. Nothing like this in original two volumes of BAA. o_0

@Sergio: If you arer using firefox, try to open every link in a new tab, then you'll get the true url. Otherwise it will only show you the home-page. Its really troublesome.

@denzacar: Thank you for this info. I always wondered where this image came from. Where did you read it?

@Int 29Ah: The first one clearly is Sachumodo, although this picture does not occur in the manga, right. As for the second one, I don't know, but there is a scene in GLO, in the preliminary rounds of ZOTT, where Alita shows the same move- Maybe its a indirect quotation aka later use of that idea.

It is the cover of Gunnm Novel, simply.
It is not from the manga.
