Re: GLO 99
IMHO Alita's "body" was "destroyed" due to Jupiter's operation: Glass Cat, which will fail for sure for the reasons pointed out by Isidorios (Alita is not the black cat).
Re: GLO 99
This thread makes me realize just how much of a total nerd manga this is. ;P

Re: GLO 99
For example: phase 98, sechs spirit nearly disintegrate by zekka's punch, just because he is strong he withstands it.Isidorios wrote:Remember that Zekka claims to have a combo attack that actually destroys someone physically AND spiritually.
but dont forgett that was a simple hook by Zekka, eventhough sechs has the stronger body right now, Zekka is still one of 2 (him and donfa) best fighters of the universe (excluding alie etc) . (one note to Zekka's body, nobody can read his mind by his eyes)
about alita, we shoudlnt forgett her real brain, its not possible to destroy her spirit as long as he brain is alive

Re: GLO 99
My script of this months Raw's for those too impatient to wait :p
It not polished, so its probably too literal! All comments welcome

Phase 99: A Cornered Rat (released 20th May)
P1 Presenter#1
P2 Presnter#2
O Old mechanic
A Apprentice
T Toji
A Alita
S Sechs
Z Zekka
L Lord Taraba
Pg 293
A furious ZOTT finale!!
<Oooohhhhh>(roar of the crowd)
P1 He straight-up took Zekka’s “Ignition Blow”
P1 It looked like that was the decider, but...
Sechs's determination finally pays off!
<Oooh>(roar)
pg 294
Sechs survives!!
Brand new Vol15 of 'Gunnm Last Order' and Vol1 of the new 'Gunnm' reprint, simultaneous release on June 18th!
Pg 295
Phase: 99 “A Cornered Rat”
Everything has been for this!!
<kyu kyu> (sound of stretch)
pg296
A Boss, what on earth just happened there!?
O It’s phase transition ..!!
A Phase transition? That’s like when you boil water and it turns to steam right?!
O Yes
Usually, when you redline a machine and then keep pushing it, it’ll
always break.
O However, that fellow Zekka has found from experience that there is a previously unknown state of equilibrium for a point of load that surpasses the limits of the Fitzroy body.
So the boy took Zekka's hint, and has struggled to find that point
using the energy from the punch...!!
[phase transition - the change of phase of matter from a state of equilibrium with certain material prosperities and qualities to a separate distinct state of matter. Commonly it is known as the 3 physical states of matter (Solid, Liquid and Gaseous)]
Pg297
O Now the Polytene gel that flows through their bodies is an ionized supersonic fluid
It has became “Polytene Plasma”
A Ahh! I can’t understand!
It’s too…!
<shake>
O It’s not impossible… even an old mechanic like myself has hypothesised it..
O They have already surpassed the theoretical limits.
O But when the user exceeds the dreams of the designer…
This! This is more than an engineer could ever wish for!!
O Fight to your heart’s content!!
Fight! My sons!!
Pg 298
Z The “ Homework” I gave you…
..was to see if you could understand the meaning of “still yet supersonic”...
...but to actually submit your answer with that move...
...to master in just a few mere days what it took me ten years to accomplish...?!
Z That's insane!
Z I’ve nothing!
<haha hahah haha>
[this is pretty literal; Z Oh fuck Z That’s insane ! is more natural in English]
Pg 299
S Don't you dare
praise me!!
S When people praise me
I go too far!!
Pg300
<Gon!><Boom!>
Pg 302
Huh?
Wha?
<Gohh>
Whoa!!
<Goooh>
pg303
<ZUKAN KAN KAN KAN> (sound of smashing)
<Dooon> Booom!!
Pg304
P1 Unbelievable... for a moment there I couldn't follow what was happening, but...
Somehow Sechs' Expansion Kick landed!
Even though he blocked it, Zekka is hammered into the opposite wall!!
P2 Sechs didn't just survive, he appears to have been powered up several times over!!
S Huh..
As I expected…
S I intended to smash your guard, though…
<beriberi> sound of unpeeling/ unsticking the shoe
Pg305
S You immediately hit me with an Expansion Kick and cancelled out my attack!
Z You’re getting above yourself kid
You are barely anything more than standing in the same ring as me
Z I'll teach you a lesson how different we are!!
Pg 306
Meanwhile, Toji has been taking a frenzied barrage from Alita
Pg307
T Her... her attacks are so dense!!
There's no space to counterattack!
T I... I can't...
T I can't take this much longer!!
<zu gogogo> sound of him being crushed under the weight of it
pg308
<sasaa> sliding
!?
T Why’s she suddenly stopped attacking?
T I see… She was aiming for me to drop my Super Shell Sanchin style and get me to attack …
…as a counter!!
T I won’t fall for it!!
I’ll never lower the Sanchin!
<Nuoooo> Ooohhhh /Shock
Pg309
A Your barrier
A I know its weak point now
T Huh.. fool!! The Super Shell Sanchin Form taught to me by Lord Taraba is the absolute in defence.
It has no weak point!!
A Your barrier has a flaw
<hyoi> swish
T THE RIGHT!!
Pg 310
<Gaan> Clang!
A Hahah
T Urgh..?!
<gurari> sway
A ...and the flaw in you barrier is that it’s moves with the fluctuations of your mind
T WHAT?!
Pg311
L The essence of the Super Shell Sanchin Form is having a stilled heart
You must train this in order to attain the clear and serene state of mind necessary, no matter the adversary
A Hahaha!
A That certainly is a suitably half-baked technique for a chicken like you!
T My Super Shell Sanchin is really just mere pretension..!!
chi.. chicken..
I would need to train for another fifty years to get to Lord Taraba's level...!!
<Guaaa> Wahhh crying
Pg 312
T Ehh?!
<vuun> electrical sound
A A Plasma Cupola!
A A chicken like you should stay hidden behind that barrier
until you die
Pg 313
T d.. damn it! It’s a “Plasma deadlock”!!
But if I lower my Sanchin...!!
A Die trembling in fear beneath my feet!
A Plasma Soliton!!
<zun>
[Plasma deadlock… Super Electromagnetic Karate term. A kata where opponents using electromagnetic guards hold plasma between them, and push against each other. As the one who pulls away is consumed in Plasma, they are mutually trapped in a shoving match until they have used up all their strength. It is held to be the worst pairwork kata.]
pg 314
<buun buun buun> electrical humming
T Pulses through the plasma...?!
If I don’t neutralise it with a counter wave..
<vuun vuun vuun>
T I.. I can’t I’m already using all my strength to hold the Sanchin
I can’t generate the wave!!
Pg315
T Aahh!! My body’s...
...breaking up!!
<pish pikiki pan> snap crack
T Argghhhh I’m gonna die!!
Pg 316
At that instant
All the triumph, honour, reason and pride Toji had constructed for so long
Shattered to smithereens before the crushing fear of death
drawing so near to him before his eyes.
All that remained afterwards
Was pure survival instinct!!
Pg317
Without past or future, his name forgotten, unified into a tenacious mass of instinct screaming “I want to live!”,
that was truly..
... a cornered rat!!
And that sheer instinct,
in just a few hundredths of a second
chose a move that none but a true master of Super Ichiryu* could perform!!
[*note: 超一流 → Super Ichiryu, this is an abbreviation of Super Electromagnetic Karate. The Ichiryu is the original term for Okinawan Karate. Literally “the first form”]
pg 318
A The barrier’s swirling…?!
<gyuubah>
A Damn!
<gyuo>
pg319
<DOKA>
pg320
<dogyagyagya> roaring of the tornado
P1 what the ?! suddenly a pillar of fire..
P2 No, it's a tornado.. That’s a huge tornado of plasma!
<ooo> Oohhhhh roar of the crowd
A Urgh.. that you can break through a plasma soliton this way..!
Amazing... such a fierce magnetic wind! It’s going supersonic..!?
Pg 321
The trapped rat has turned...
...into the Great Rat
Pg322
From that day forth, in the history of Super Electromagnetic Karate
Pg 323
it was recorded as the birth of a new secret inner technique,
“Kouso Tenteki Goroshi”*
An unbelievable comeback!!

Re: GLO 99
Thanks! If you don't mind, I'd like to use parts of your translation in the script. If you want to, I think you would be a great addition to the editing team.
Re: GLO 99
yeah go ahead man, if it's of any use to you, take what you need
some of the original text was a bit tricky, I kept getting Toji's inner dialogue back to front for a while. How'd you find it? (^^)

Re: GLO 99
this glos are great beside one thing.
they are to short
thx for the basic translation nevertheless mogg.

Re: GLO 99
Holy Shit man! You actually makes sense of most of the whole manga, I'm really impressed. The more I read what your explanation for the ghosts and cosmos clones (thats how I call themIsidorios wrote: Could be that the final matchup will be Zekka/Alita after all, a Yin/Yang of Karmatron destruction/creation. I can't wait to find out.
And who knows what Erica is capable of after all this time?

Kishiro is maybe coming with a new field of physics, just imagine if something like a fusion of Karma and Quantum mechanics applied in reality, that would explain the presence of the mind, life and everything, that would indeed be exciting!
