Pretty neat attack from Zechs. Looks like he finally decided to plan stuff for a change. I guess next chapter is Xazi time. Wonder if her screentime will be cut again. I'd laugh pretty hard if Rakkan is beaten offscreen.

Damn, Sechs is strong!! Far more powerful than pre-Fata Morgana Alita I'd say (but still less experienced of course). How did he get so good, he really used his head this time. I think Zekka is taking him seriously now (which is good for the respect but kind of bad regarding Sechs' chance to get out there in one piece). And Hopper knows what he's talking about, for him to compare Sechs with Bruce Lee, wow, an honor.
Zazies fight being cut: would be funny, but this is too important. Maybe she'll cry out of joy or shout greetings to Limeira because she was aired?^^

I believe his power-upgrade is a result of him figuring out the "supersonic while standing still" dilemma in chapter 86. I wonder if he gambled everything on that one chance though. One "diet punch" certainly wasn't enough.
I've also been speculating that if he's sufficiently beaten and humiliated by Zekka then maybe he decides to change his body back to female-modus.
Sechs blade whirling certainly reminds me to her original Sechster Angriff, which in turn makes me wonder if this one is called Sechshundertsechsundsechzigster Angriff (666) since it certainly involves more than six moves.
She also again shows creative use of the plasma decoys. Which reminds me, how come Gally barely uses something like that? The Imaginos body should be more capable to use plasma creatively, but all she ever did was the plasma torches on her fingers.
Like a Chekovs Gun, Zekka's facet eyes, which he mentiod in his first appearance come into play.
However it is just me or is this entire plan of Sechs aimed at taking Zekka out as fast as possible?
It seems like Sechs realised in her preperation, that she couldn't reach Zekka's level in time and neither learn his technique for herself (remember she couldn't keep the body compressed enough), but knowing how it works could at least have given her the chance to develop a plan on how to bypass his strengths.
Which we see in this chapter.
Avoiding a long time battle, simliar to what Gally and Touji do is kind of smart. Sechs fighting style has been shown to consume a lot of energy. So surprising Zekka in the first attack and either taking him out in one blow or at least heavily damage him, seems to be Sechs only option.
Which kind of didn't worked in the end though and now Zekka has her by the balls... as if the homosexual undertones haven't been obvious enough yet. Just kidding.

Alita create a new plasma technique to mimic the künstler's explosive technique, which she named plasma bite.
Alita flying on plasma jets is also nice ,-)
I hope to see more of her (soon)
nanomachine corrosion and other nanomachine techs, which should be very effective and hard to counter.
Btw Sechs never striked me as the guy with the plan. He is totally aggressive.
