WHEN WILL BE LO10 RELEASED?
Moderator: crazyankan
Just picked up the newest Ultra Jump, with Chapter 65 in it. Basic rundown of what happens [SPOILERS]:
- Alita's body basically disintegrates and is dumped down a garbage chute along with the P Box. She isn't dead, although Nova X estimates it got around 80% of her.
- Super Nova blows up Porta-Nova, and the brain chip.
- Nova X jacks out of the system before Frova can come after him.
- Down on the surface, there's two kids and an old-as-shit guy sitting around a campfire. They're counting the cables connected to Tiphares, and they say there are 11. The old man tells them there were 12, but one broke loose and basically caused hell, which freaks out the kids a bit.
- Landa Namnam and the robot country guys find Alita's body, which has basically crumpled to dust apart from her brain chip. They're deliberating over what to do, when...
- They're visited by the God of Robots, which turns out to be a giant hologram of Arthur.
- He asks for the Fata Morgana, which he uses in order to...
- Manifest a huge number of holograms which include every major and semi-major person in the series thus far (including Kayna and The Sonic Finger [!])
- I think he convinces the robots to help rebuild her
- The end are two pages of black, with a small "dun" sound effect on one, which I take to mean that she's being rebooted.

I'm looking for: Gonzu, Shumira, Jashugan, Grewcica, Chiren, Eelai,Barzarld, Yolg and Koyomi.
Shumira: シュミラ
Jashugan: ジャシュガン
Eelai: イーライ
Barzarld: バーゼラルド
Yolg: ヨルグ
Koyomi: コヨミ
Those are from Kishiro's website. From the Japanese wikipedia:
Chiren: チレン
Grewcica: グリュシカ
Can't wait to see the raws of this. The shit is really starting to hit the fan...I wonder what Alita's new body will look like? I'm also happy that Kishiro went with the multiple versions of Nova story--and now it seems there are multiple Alitas, too! I wonder if Brain Chip Alita and Organic Brain Alita will ever confront each other? Thanks for all the work bonedaddy!

I hope her new body looks different, but not TOO much, you know? In each incarnation, she's looked essentially the same. I'll be interested to see what it can do, but I hope she, her overall look, something I've come to adore...doesn't change, you know?Rindain wrote:Can't wait to see the raws of this.

Well, Frova's going to put the organic brain in the Incubator, I think, so I dunno if they'll ever really meet up.
I'm guessing that over the next couple chapters, the organic brain is going to start some shit in the Incubator, the Argo Navis is going to go haywire, the Peacemakers will stop working, Melchizedek will start making predictions against Trinidad, and Ketheres will have a revolt on its hands.
I mean, Alita's brain didn't behave so well in the Ourobouros either.

I wonder what the purpose of the holograms is? Perhaps to create a sort of holodeck fantasy world for Alita once she is rebuilt?bonedaddy wrote:Well, Frova's going to put the organic brain in the Incubator, I think, so I dunno if they'll ever really meet up.

I also wonder when the organic brain was taken from Alita, i.e. when did Alita "split into two", so to speak? Maybe during volume 1 of Last Order 1, when Nova is first rebuilds Alita following the doll explosion?
If so, the brain wouldn't know anything that's happened in Last Order so far--in fact, its last memory would have been of the doll before it exploded. It might think that Nova has again captured her within the Ourobouros, and try to fight its way out.
Anyway, can't wait to see what happens next.
Not at all. It's basically to call back Alita's chip brain and get it to wake up. The always-awkward-sounding "to be continued" text at the end of the chapter translates out to something like "Can the pleas of Alitas' allies resuscitate her?!"Rindain wrote: I wonder what the purpose of the holograms is?

Chapter 62
General disclaimer: I don't do this for a living, it's not a perfect translation, so if it's wrong, bite me.
GENERAL NOTES:
- Sechs swears like an Irish sailor.
- Is Ping supposed to be Korean? Elf and Zwolf use some weird word that is possibly an ethnic slur, or just a lazy way of saying "idiot."
- I'm translating the Camranh tragedy as Camlann tragedy, as I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the Battle of Camlann.
- The kanji in Zekka's name can be translated a lot of ways. The second kanji means "fire," but the first is used in many ways. Various translations could include "suppressed fire," "incessant blaze," and my favorite, "unimaginable flame."

Well, it's no use. In a few hours it'll be a loss. (???)
I'll temporarily jack out and put the system stabilization protocols on hold. (???)
panel 2
They were good. Seems like they've outwitted me, but
it's a useless struggle.
My trump card's already in place.

Hello! As you probably know by know, this is Jack Gelrambo.
In a change of plans, I'm bringing you this special report, "The Assault on the Space Angels' Base Ship"!
panel 4
Sechs! Regarding this big scandal, the tournament conduct committee interfering with your team -- where's your evidence?!
Now that it looks like we might win, they've trying to rig it! (???)
panel 5
But what of the rumors that your semifinal opponents, the Jovian team, instigated this?!
Lies!
Call that reporter!
panel 6
We will launch an investigation into the possibility of the assault as a raid.
Is that acceptable?

Are you fucking kidding me, you bastard-?!
PG 10
panel 2
Hel-
Out of nowhere, New Order stealth troops have surrounded us!
PG 11
panel 1
Quietly return to your base ship and prepare for tomorrow's semifinals.
You still have an unknown seed team from god-knows-where to compete against. Everyone is eagerly anticipating it.
panel 2
Yes, exactly! Sechs, you are the most popular male participant in the ZOTT!
If you get violent here and get kicked out of the tourney... every female fan in the entire solar system will weep!
SMALL: I beg you not to forget that!
panel 3
You know what?
I am fucking sick of this farce!
panel 4
Heh heh heh.. isn't this fun?

Stand down!
This man is my guest!
panel 4
You're looking good, old fart. Haven't you aged?!

But if you bring this ruckus to a close, I'll overlook it.

This kid, huh...

Th-this guy...

I really had no interest in this low-level tourney, but...

Absurdly strong!

Chapter 63
GENERAL NOTES
- Zekka's weird.
- I want Sechs and Zekka to get together in the worst possible way.
- Zekka's speech patterns are really hard to decipher. He uses a lot of slang... moreso than even Sechs. I'll have to wait until my friend's back from America to help me translate some of this.
- A syllogism is a type of deductive reasoning. Sort of, "If all A are B, and all B have three legs, then all A have three legs." I think what they're talking about here is, "If all true warriors are real men, and a real man's dream is to destroy everything in sight, then that is also a true warrior's dream."
PG 1

Kid...

Compound eyes are handy...
Fewer blind spots, greater intensity...
Best of all, you can read your opponents' moves.
PG 3
panel 1
We're receiving new information right now...
As regards this man who introduced himself as "Zekka"...
panel 2
...he is not associated with any organizations, making him an isolated karate master! What a dangerous man!
It seems that he was the original one member entered for the Toji-led Space Karate Allies team! (??? -- even after having this explained to me, I'm still not sure about the translation)
panel 3
Take me for a test drive, huh...
Well, I got a question for you, bastard.
panel 4
What's the essential quality of a true warrior?!
PG 4
panel 1
A true warrior...
Therefore, a real man...
panel 2
The ambition of a true man is, of course...
Environmental destruction!!
panel 3
Huh?
panel 4
To beat a guy to death without feeling a thing.
To knock a huge machine right out.
To get a monopoly on good women.
In short, environmental destruction.
panel 5
To not make even one thing. To leave not even one blade of grass growing in your wake. That is a true man's dream!
Therefore, an true warrior's ultimate goal is...
PG 6
RIGHT TEXT: To destroy an entire planet with his own power!
LEFT TEXT: To be that great a warrior!
PG 6
panel 1
W-what a massive scale!!
Suddenly I'm feeling like I should get the hell out of here...
panel 2
What a dreadful syllogism from the Zekka school of thought!
Is this aberrant way of thinking the proof of a strong person?!
panel 3
Wha-what did he just say?
Isn't it like this guy is a terrorist?!
panel 4
He is a hardcore anarchist. He doesn't recognize any authority aside from himself.
It's advisable for his opponent to turn tail and run. (???)
PG 7
panel 1
How?! How could I get such respect for him in one moment?!
Everything I've done...
Heh heh heh...
Satisfied, kid?
panel 2
I may not know much, but still... I hate your random garbage. (??? he says "tekitouna koto," which usually means "appropriate")
Destroying a planet by yourself... for no reason?!

Don't blow smoke up my ass with your meaningless bullshit!
PG 9

Hiee!

Heh heh... don't be so greedy, kid. (???)
PG 10
panel 1
My Expand Punch's top speed... he stopped it before it reached supersonic speed! reach [ed. note: how has the Expand Punch been translated before?]
panel 2
...so that sonic boom just now was from his speed?
If he was able to counter me, is that it? Is it over?
panel 3
Historically, there have certainly been no true warriors. (??? - so much slang!)
How did people of old show their gratitude for achievements? (???)
panel 4
Because they seek something that doesn't exist, it's their goal! (???)
PG 11
panel 2
Ah! A handshake?
No...
panel 3
Fighting right here's gonna annoy other people. (??? - don't know what bachibachiyari means)

You know how to thumb wrestle?
Hold down your opponent's thumb, count to ten, and you win.

It's like a hydraulic press!

panel 1
My body is the same as yours, kid. One of the best cyborg bodies in space.
A Fizziroy Body.
panel 2
What?!
panel 3
Your body's more recent model, kid. The performance might be better.
panel 4
I reach supersonic speed while standing still!
PG 14
panel 1
If you understand what I just said...
...then perhaps you might be able to master using a Fizziroy body.
panel 2
Asking me a riddle...
Stop fucking showing off! (??? -- bukkoiten, not sure the meaning)

You cannot possibly say you've mastered your body.
The power's something like this.

Your reactions are so-so.

Uwaa~!
panel 3
Bystanders can feel the power of Master Sechs's mighty kick!
But, what's this?! His attack missed Zekka by one step!

By just moving the hand we was holding, he ruined my entire attack!
If I can somehow take out his right hand-!

How about this?!
Hm?

Sechs style Hertza Haeon

Pucker up, octopus lips!
I win again!

I can't compete against this!
He's still playing with me, even now-!

Having courage is good, but so far, you haven't improved at all.
Kid.
How old are you?

Two years old!
PG 22
panel 2
Wha-what the hell?!
panel 3
Do-don't laugh! I'm a battle android, you know!
panel 4
Actually, it's only been like 1 year and five months... fuck...
Should I just say some average human age, like 20?
panel 5
Okay, okay... your upbringing has nothing to do with it.
I, too, have, in my search for strength, moved my memories onto an artificial brain. (??? -- basic meaning there, but some nuances missing)
SMALL: My stomach hurts...
SMALL: Forgive me...
PG 23
panel 1
But if what you just said now is true... kid, you are in one supersonic speed growth spurt!
Your first round against Guntroll's old woman... if you're here now, you were able to win, right?
panel 2
That's right... let's do this.
Kid, if you can make me fight even a little bit serious...
Afterwards, we can do this for real, 1 on 1. (??? lit. afterwards, it's okay to be matched against and do [something])
panel 3
1 on 1...
panel 4
Not Alita...
Me?
panel 5
Alita...? Oh, that shorty who came out for a little bit in the first round.
On principle, I won't take on anyone with a bust size smaller than 80 centimeters.
PG 24
panel 1
He called Alita a mere shorty...
On top of that, he's been flirting with me hardcore so far... (lit. been making passionate "love calls... could be wrong on this, but I don't think I am)

I have no reason to turn down your challenge!

Master Sechs, 2 years old!
Once again appears to have lost!

Well, well... Is this you being serious?
I overestimated you.
panel 4
Not at all... by the way...
You got a nice bike there.
panel 5
Eh?
SMALL: What's that cord?
PG 29
panel 2
[ed. note: the grafitti says pretty much what you'd think. The bits the doll are standing over say "I'm number 1" and there's an arrow pointing to Zekka with "Zekka" written by it. Below that is "Nice to meet you" -- but it's written in ateji, which is an eidetic form of Japanese speech that is mostly used by idiots and poor white (yellow?) trash. they string nonsensical kanji together to make specific sounds. The literal meaning of the kanji provided is "Evening dew death trouble," but it's read "yoroshiku," which means "nice to meet you."
To the right, there's a turd with "turd" written on it, and "MORON" written next to that. Underneath the idiot is "stupid!" Below that is "Scum."
Finally, on the bottom, below the octopus, is "idiot" and debeso, which translates out to "protruding navel"... basically saying he has an "outie."]

Get as strong as you can before the finals!
panel 6
That's the first thing...
...anyone's asked me to do for them.
LEFT TEXT: Splendid! Master Sechs!
- Zekka's weird.
- I want Sechs and Zekka to get together in the worst possible way.
- Zekka's speech patterns are really hard to decipher. He uses a lot of slang... moreso than even Sechs. I'll have to wait until my friend's back from America to help me translate some of this.
- A syllogism is a type of deductive reasoning. Sort of, "If all A are B, and all B have three legs, then all A have three legs." I think what they're talking about here is, "If all true warriors are real men, and a real man's dream is to destroy everything in sight, then that is also a true warrior's dream."

Kid...

Compound eyes are handy...
Fewer blind spots, greater intensity...
Best of all, you can read your opponents' moves.
PG 3
panel 1
We're receiving new information right now...
As regards this man who introduced himself as "Zekka"...
panel 2
...he is not associated with any organizations, making him an isolated karate master! What a dangerous man!
It seems that he was the original one member entered for the Toji-led Space Karate Allies team! (??? -- even after having this explained to me, I'm still not sure about the translation)
panel 3
Take me for a test drive, huh...
Well, I got a question for you, bastard.
panel 4
What's the essential quality of a true warrior?!
PG 4
panel 1
A true warrior...
Therefore, a real man...
panel 2
The ambition of a true man is, of course...
Environmental destruction!!
panel 3
Huh?
panel 4
To beat a guy to death without feeling a thing.
To knock a huge machine right out.
To get a monopoly on good women.
In short, environmental destruction.
panel 5
To not make even one thing. To leave not even one blade of grass growing in your wake. That is a true man's dream!
Therefore, an true warrior's ultimate goal is...
PG 6
RIGHT TEXT: To destroy an entire planet with his own power!
LEFT TEXT: To be that great a warrior!
PG 6
panel 1
W-what a massive scale!!
Suddenly I'm feeling like I should get the hell out of here...
panel 2
What a dreadful syllogism from the Zekka school of thought!
Is this aberrant way of thinking the proof of a strong person?!
panel 3
Wha-what did he just say?
Isn't it like this guy is a terrorist?!
panel 4
He is a hardcore anarchist. He doesn't recognize any authority aside from himself.
It's advisable for his opponent to turn tail and run. (???)
PG 7
panel 1
How?! How could I get such respect for him in one moment?!
Everything I've done...
Heh heh heh...
Satisfied, kid?
panel 2
I may not know much, but still... I hate your random garbage. (??? he says "tekitouna koto," which usually means "appropriate")
Destroying a planet by yourself... for no reason?!
panel 3
Don't blow smoke up my ass with your meaningless bullshit!
PG 9
panel 2
Hiee!
panel 4
Heh heh... don't be so greedy, kid. (???)
PG 10
panel 1
My Expand Punch's top speed... he stopped it before it reached supersonic speed! reach [ed. note: how has the Expand Punch been translated before?]
panel 2
...so that sonic boom just now was from his speed?
If he was able to counter me, is that it? Is it over?
panel 3
Historically, there have certainly been no true warriors. (??? - so much slang!)
How did people of old show their gratitude for achievements? (???)
panel 4
Because they seek something that doesn't exist, it's their goal! (???)
PG 11
panel 2
Ah! A handshake?
No...
panel 3
Fighting right here's gonna annoy other people. (??? - don't know what bachibachiyari means)
panel 4
You know how to thumb wrestle?
Hold down your opponent's thumb, count to ten, and you win.
panel 5
...the fuck...
PG 12
panel 2
Ngah!

What power!
It's like a hydraulic press!
panel 5
How about I teach you one good thing.
PG 13
panel 1
My body is the same as yours, kid. One of the best cyborg bodies in space.
A Fizziroy Body.
panel 2
What?!
panel 3
Your body's more recent model, kid. The performance might be better.
panel 4
I reach supersonic speed while standing still!
PG 14
panel 1
If you understand what I just said...
...then perhaps you might be able to master using a Fizziroy body.
panel 2
Asking me a riddle...
Stop fucking showing off! (??? -- bukkoiten, not sure the meaning)
panel 3
Oh?
panel 4
You cannot possibly say you've mastered your body.
The power's something like this.

Your reactions are so-so.

Pucker up, octopus lips.
Ah?!

Don't forget...

Ah!!

Stop fucking around!

whoosh
PG 18
panel 2
Uwaa~!
panel 3
Bystanders can feel the power of Master Sechs's mighty kick!
But, what's this?! His attack missed Zekka by one step!
panel 4
By just moving the hand we was holding, he ruined my entire attack!
If I can somehow take out his right hand-!
panel 5
How about this?!
Hm?
PG 19
panel 1
Sechs style Hertza Haeon
Doppelt!
panel 2
Feh.
What a cheap trick.
PG 20

The vibrating wave was returned...
Moreover, with one arm...!
panel 2
I told you!
Don't forget!
panel 3
Pucker up, octopus lips!
I win again!
panel 5
I can't compete against this!
He's still playing with me, even now-!
PG 21
panel 1
Having courage is good, but so far, you haven't improved at all.
Kid.
How old are you?
panel 3
Two years old!
PG 22
panel 2
Wha-what the hell?!
panel 3
Do-don't laugh! I'm a battle android, you know!
panel 4
Actually, it's only been like 1 year and five months... fuck...
Should I just say some average human age, like 20?
panel 5
Okay, okay... your upbringing has nothing to do with it.
I, too, have, in my search for strength, moved my memories onto an artificial brain. (??? -- basic meaning there, but some nuances missing)
SMALL: My stomach hurts...
SMALL: Forgive me...
PG 23
panel 1
But if what you just said now is true... kid, you are in one supersonic speed growth spurt!
Your first round against Guntroll's old woman... if you're here now, you were able to win, right?
panel 2
That's right... let's do this.
Kid, if you can make me fight even a little bit serious...
Afterwards, we can do this for real, 1 on 1. (??? lit. afterwards, it's okay to be matched against and do [something])
panel 3
1 on 1...
panel 4
Not Alita...
Me?
panel 5
Alita...? Oh, that shorty who came out for a little bit in the first round.
On principle, I won't take on anyone with a bust size smaller than 80 centimeters.
PG 24
panel 1
He called Alita a mere shorty...
On top of that, he's been flirting with me hardcore so far... (lit. been making passionate "love calls... could be wrong on this, but I don't think I am)
panel 2
I have no reason to turn down your challenge!

ZOTT Extra Match!
Space's Finest Thumb Wrestling, round 3!

Hah!
panel 2
Master Sechs, 2 years old!
Once again appears to have lost!
panel 3
Well, well... Is this you being serious?
I overestimated you.
panel 4
Not at all... by the way...
You got a nice bike there.
panel 5
Eh?
SMALL: What's that cord?
PG 29
panel 2
[ed. note: the grafitti says pretty much what you'd think. The bits the doll are standing over say "I'm number 1" and there's an arrow pointing to Zekka with "Zekka" written by it. Below that is "Nice to meet you" -- but it's written in ateji, which is an eidetic form of Japanese speech that is mostly used by idiots and poor white (yellow?) trash. they string nonsensical kanji together to make specific sounds. The literal meaning of the kanji provided is "Evening dew death trouble," but it's read "yoroshiku," which means "nice to meet you."
To the right, there's a turd with "turd" written on it, and "MORON" written next to that. Underneath the idiot is "stupid!" Below that is "Scum."
Finally, on the bottom, below the octopus, is "idiot" and debeso, which translates out to "protruding navel"... basically saying he has an "outie."]

What the-! Without anyone realizing, mini-Sechs vandalized his bike?!

YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!

Chapter 64
GENERAL COMMENTS
- Due to the resolution of the scan, there's a couple words I've had trouble making out, mainly one at the bottom of pg 13, which I think is something like antatsuichapuru, or antacchapuru, or something).
- Ground Suppression Unit basically means a bunch of troops that go down and get control of the surface. I think Ground Suppression Unit sounds a bit awkward.
- Can someone figure out what Omni Consectum is supposed to mean? It sounds like Latin.

Lou...
...I found you!
PG 4
panel 1
It's been so long...
This Lou didn't remember me, but...
just the fact that she's alive and well...
panel 2
Don't relax just yet.
The rescue mission's only halfway done.
Yeah...
panel 3
I've got good news and bad news.
The bad news is...
panel 4
Ping was ripped to shreds by Trinidad.
panel 6
Is he dead?!
panel 7
He barely escaped with his life.
His cranial nerves were burnt badly, and recovery may be hopeless...
PG 5
panel 1
However, because he kept Trinidad confined, we were able to get to the incubator, with some struggle.
We should be grateful to him.
panel 2
Honestly.. I thought he'd be the type to run away in a pinch.
But after some reflection... he, too, is a warrior!
panel 3
The good news is...
Until the Camelot Optimizer finishes running, Trinidad will not be suspicious.
panel 4
So let's hurry and recover Lou!
Okay!
panel 5
Wait just a second!
This voice-?!
PG 6
panel 1
What?!

The Incubator management system is shutting down! This is...

Heh heh heh... you're not allowed to so much as touch the incubator without my permission!
Who's there?!
Kyahahahaha!
PG 7
It is I.
PG 8
panel 1
I, who ascended the orbital elevator with you... I, who was captured by Mbadi...
Looks like there's already other versions of me... I see...
Well then... let's just call me Super Nova!
panel 2
You were able to escape your prison?!
panel 3
Gally... I'm surprised. Didn't you know I'm a bad man?

CAPTION: 4 days ago
Can you hear me, Professor Nova?

Conditions have changed.
How would you feel about being my right-hand man?
PG 9
panel 1
Research with the backing of a powerful backer isn't bad at all...
But you like order, whereas I research chaos...
Doesn't that seem like mixing water and oil?

Because we are opposite from each other, you would fit in as a good supplement to my work.
Don't you think?
panel 3
So you double-crossed us?!
You traitor!
panel 4
I have a bad reputation.
I've always made the logical choice for my research! Gyaha!
panel 5
What the-
He's really gone and done it... that prohibited...!
panel 6
As you'd expect, it'd be good to consider "I" (???)
Heh heh heh... exactly!
PG 10
panel 1
There are two brain chips in my skull.
I'm working at full power.
panel 2
Furthermore, due to space technology, I have identical hacking skills to Mbadi.
I have implemented the Omni Consectome [ed.note: literally Omuni Konsekutoumu, probably some German word I don't know]
panel 3
Now I could fight you one-on-one and win!
Kyaha!
PG 11
panel 1
Want to try?
panel 2
Gyahaha! Stop it, please!
I was given unconditional authority over the incubator's management from Mbadi.
If I wanted to, I could instantly kill the 20,000 brains in the Incubator!
panel 3
That's something no researcher would say... Looks like a side effect of the dual brains is that this personality is emerging into reality.
If that's the case, I will call on reinforcements!
panel 4
Reinforcements? That man named "Weasel" has been crippled...
Where is this person on your side?!

That's my cue!
Wha-?!

panel 4
Muh... how did you get access from Tiphares while the Camelot Optimizer is running?!
PG 13
panel 1
It's because I used the Fata Morgana to open a direct line to Tiphares.
Flan is karma!
A few minutes ago, Porta-Nova consulted me, and I decided to support Alita's group!
panel 2
Three on one, eh?
Well then, in order to change up the atmosphere a bit...
I'll impart to you some important information.
panel 3
Immediately following the end of ZOTT, at the 1356th Ladder assembly, Mbadi will submit a plan to the agenda.
A measure to resolve the longtime delicate political situation of Tiphares and the surface world...(??? -- there's something written here, antatsuichapuru, I think, but I can't tell what it is)
FOOTNOTE: Direct line to Tiphares: To translate later
PG 14
The Tiphares Redevelopment Act!
The New Order platoons staged in upper orbit for the defense of ZOTT have already been organized as a Ground Suppression Unit. They're standing by even now!
PG 15
panel 1
Ground...
Suppression Unit?!
panel 2
Ladder's official stance has shifted to state that -Tiphares and the surface world should not survive-.
To close the matter... Tiphares and the Scrapyard's people will be purged... and sacrificed to the incubator.
PG 16
panel 1
Tha- that's...!
Nora... Pam...
Koyomi... Kaos...
panel 2
I successfully rescued Lou, but.. as it stands...
Lou will have nowhere to return to...!
panel 3
W-what should I do...
panel 4
What are you worrying about, Alita?
Legally, they have no means to cut their way through. (??? - I think what he's saying is that the measure hasn't passed yet, or maybe that they can't actually just get through Tiphares)
panel 5
Yes! I am assisting you for just that reason!
I'm placing my hopes on your team!
PG 17
panel 1
Really...?
The winning team will be recognized as a commonwealth!
panel 2
I'll win Tiphares's and the surface's independence...
...for that reason, I will win the ZOTT!
PG 18
panel 1
The strength I've sought comes from what's come before... (???)
I feel like they've been showing me that all along... (??? particulars may be wrong, but the general feeling is there)
panel 2
Greaaat! The atmosphere sure has changed, hasn't it?
panel 3
To save Lou, I thought I would endure any amount of trouble and sacrifice!
panel 3
Getting in your way is my field of expertise! (??? I get confused on what the subject here is)
I will strike you down and take back Lou!
panel 4
How uncivilized...
However, I will still offer you a gentlemanly trade.
PG 19
panel 1
I want the brain inside the P Box!
How about exchanging it for Lou's brain?
panel 2
Eh?
panel 3
Oh, so that's all you wanted from the start?
SMALL: Whatever...
That's fine. No complaints here.
panel 4
Huh...!
That's it...?!
panel 5
...?!
I wonder whose brain is in the P Box.
panel 6
That's right... whose brain is in the P Box...
I held my tongue, and didn't tell you this isn't a fair trade...
panel 7
Well then, let's tell you.
PG 20
That is
Alita's brain!
PG 21
panel 1
Eh?
panel 2
But... that's stupid...
I'm right here...
panel 3
What's in your skull right now is a brain chip!
That's right, you're the same as me and the AR series!
PG 22
No...
No way...
UPPER-LEFT: How could my brain be a chip...
UPPER-RIGHT: You have a brain.
LEFT: This P Box contains the single most precious thing on Earth!
RIGHT: You are nothing but a replica of me...
DOWN-LEFT: Thought you were a robo-cat! Too bad! All you need is a pocket!
DOWN-RIGHT: You're built a little differently from the other androids.
[ed. note: the robo-cat thing is likely a reference to Doraemon. specifically, Ping was talking about how Alita was overly emotional, like Doraemon... weirdly enough, Viz didn't make any footnote of that when Ping initially said it]
PG 23
panel 1
Heh heh heh... how you feeling now?
Trading your brain for Lou's...
I certainly don't think it's a bad transaction...
panel 2
Super Nova's words are true. Since "I" was murdered by Roscoe and revived...
I was there a bit before you woke up, Alita...
Well.. it was mainly a passing whim...
panel 3
Actually... I vaguely felt like that might be the case...
PG 24
panel 1
Alita, once your stupendously Karmically talented brain is injected into the incubator, I'll observe it!
My, "I" am quite clever! What a splendid concept!
Oh, you flatter me!
And from here, you can't miss Alita's reaction!
panel 2
H-he's the devil incarnate!
I was a fool to think he was on my side for even a minute!
panel 3
I warned you...

Gyahahahaha!
Gally's brain, a rare specimen indeed!

And in exchange, Lou's brain in the P Box!
Careful, now!

It's okay...
This is all okay...

panel 5
Yes! I am assisting you for just that reason!
I'm placing my hopes on your team!
PG 17
panel 1
Really...?
The winning team will be recognized as a commonwealth!
panel 2
I'll win Tiphares's and the surface's independence...
...for that reason, I will win the ZOTT!
PG 18
panel 1
The strength I've sought comes from what's come before... (???)
I feel like they've been showing me that all along... (??? particulars may be wrong, but the general feeling is there)
panel 2
Greaaat! The atmosphere sure has changed, hasn't it?
panel 3
To save Lou, I thought I would endure any amount of trouble and sacrifice!
panel 3
Getting in your way is my field of expertise! (??? I get confused on what the subject here is)
I will strike you down and take back Lou!
panel 4
How uncivilized...
However, I will still offer you a gentlemanly trade.
PG 19
panel 1
I want the brain inside the P Box!
How about exchanging it for Lou's brain?
panel 2
Eh?
panel 3
Oh, so that's all you wanted from the start?
SMALL: Whatever...
That's fine. No complaints here.
panel 4
Huh...!
That's it...?!
panel 5
...?!
I wonder whose brain is in the P Box.
panel 6
That's right... whose brain is in the P Box...
I held my tongue, and didn't tell you this isn't a fair trade...
panel 7
Well then, let's tell you.
PG 20
That is
Alita's brain!
PG 21
panel 1
Eh?
panel 2
But... that's stupid...
I'm right here...
panel 3
What's in your skull right now is a brain chip!
That's right, you're the same as me and the AR series!
PG 22
No...
No way...
UPPER-LEFT: How could my brain be a chip...
UPPER-RIGHT: You have a brain.
LEFT: This P Box contains the single most precious thing on Earth!
RIGHT: You are nothing but a replica of me...
DOWN-LEFT: Thought you were a robo-cat! Too bad! All you need is a pocket!
DOWN-RIGHT: You're built a little differently from the other androids.
[ed. note: the robo-cat thing is likely a reference to Doraemon. specifically, Ping was talking about how Alita was overly emotional, like Doraemon... weirdly enough, Viz didn't make any footnote of that when Ping initially said it]
PG 23
panel 1
Heh heh heh... how you feeling now?
Trading your brain for Lou's...
I certainly don't think it's a bad transaction...
panel 2
Super Nova's words are true. Since "I" was murdered by Roscoe and revived...
I was there a bit before you woke up, Alita...
Well.. it was mainly a passing whim...
panel 3
Actually... I vaguely felt like that might be the case...
PG 24
panel 1
Alita, once your stupendously Karmically talented brain is injected into the incubator, I'll observe it!
My, "I" am quite clever! What a splendid concept!
Oh, you flatter me!
And from here, you can't miss Alita's reaction!
panel 2
H-he's the devil incarnate!
I was a fool to think he was on my side for even a minute!
panel 3
I warned you...
panel 4
Ha-
P-Payne!
PG 25
panel 1
If you know the truth, you be changed permanently!
You have no place to return to!
panel 2
RIGHT TEXT: Nova's Front Gate
Kyahahaha!
Haaa
BOTTOM-LEFT TEXT: Payne's Back Gate
Heh heh heh!
panel 3
Ahhh...
PG 26
panel 1
Was all the pain this body went through a lie?...
No.. that can't be...!
panel 2
I... I am...
...not a robot!
panel 3
Even if my brain is a chip... even if my body is a machine...
I am a human being!
PG 27
panel 1
She did it, she declared her humanity!
Hoom... if you say that...
Are the trade arrangements acceptable?
panel 3
Then let's go!
Eject Lou's brain!
panel 4
Ex
Change
PG 28
panel 1
Gyahahahaha!
Gally's brain, a rare specimen indeed!
I unconditionally accept!
panel 2
And in exchange, Lou's brain in the P Box!
Careful, now!
panel 4
It's okay...
This is all okay...
PG 29
panel 1
Sophistry... deceit... beautiful things...
Is it really okay to give up your only piece of flesh so easily?
panel 3
That is your bond!
panel 4
It ties you to your loved ones.
It's the last thing you have in common!
PG 30
panel 1
GIVE IT BACK!
panel 2
Give me back my brain!
panel 3
Oh... how unsightly.
Even if you recover your brain, you have no use for it!
panel 4
Ah! Nova X, you're blocking the way!
How unappetizing!
panel 5
OMNI CONSECTUM!! [ed. note: the kanji translate as "electronic brain (computer) beheading chop"]
PG 31
panel 1
Is Gally's heart broken?!
panel 2
So even the indomitable warrior can break.
What? Even when you die, it isn't the end.
Because your brain lives on, Alita... heh heh heh!
Chapter 65
GENERAL NOTES:
- Translation went pretty smooth on this, with a few exceptions around the old-man-of-the-Scrapyard bit.
- This is the first chapter I thought was actually genuinely touching since the Last Order reboot.
- Not that you care.
PG 1
TITLE: PHASE: 65 Collapse
LEFT TEXT: Alita, defeated-!
PG 2
RIGHT TEXT: The Super Nova fight, conclusion!
PG 3
panel 2
Gyahaha!
Look!
panel 3
The Imaginos Body is collapsing!
Earth to earth...
PG 4
panel 1
Ashes to ashes...
panel 2
Dust to dust!
PG 5
panel 1
Ha~!
I feel refreshed~!
panel 2
Hm.. I wonder if she's dead.
No.. it should have blocked 80% of that...
panel 3
Even if my attack was somehow incomplete, it's the same thing in the end...!
See how her body collapses!
panel 4
This phenomenon is the synchronization of her self-consciousness dismantling itself!
Seeing how her ego is broken and scattered, her revival is unlikely!
PG 6
panel 1
Well then, gentlemen! You other versions of "me."
What now?
panel 2
If you cooperate with me...
We could form a Space Karmic Energy Society! Wouldn't that be nice.
panel 3
Like it or not, we have each become our own individuals.
I say we pursue our karmic possibilities from our respective standpoints.
panel 4
I see.
PG 7
panel 1
OMNI CONSECTUM!
PG 8
panel 2
Crap...
panel 3
The Tiphares "me" has escaped, eh?
Ah well.
panel 4
Within a few days, the fate of Tiphares and the surface will be decided.
Already, the path of this karmic tidal wave cannot be changed!
PG 9
panel 1
Hahh...
Hahh...
panel 2
F-flan is survival!
But... to think that "me" turning into an enemy would be this thrilling...
panel 3
But... it's become quite a bother..
It's impossible Alita went out that easily..!
ARROW: Forgetting that he caused it himself
PG 10
panel 1
This is no good. If only one "me" remains, my research can continue, but...
Super Nova's approach is too different to mine.
panel 2
This very well may be my last look at this lovable chaos...
PG 11
panel 1
One..
Two
Three.. Four...
panel 2
Ten...
Eleven..
Hey, big bro!
panel 3
Why does Tiphares have 11 tubes?
panel 4
Idiot, it's cause they chose to have 11 from the start.
Now eat.
But, like... 11 is all halfass.
10 or 12 would be better.
PG 12
panel 1
There were 12... once...
Huh... really?!
panel 2
When I was your age... there were 12 tubes.
...and 12 anchor factories, too...
panel 3
You were a child once, old geezer?
When was that, 5 hundred million years ago?
Saying I'm a trilobite?!
panel 4
One day.. there were an accident in the sky over yonder.
PG 13
There was no light. A hundred thunderclaps came rolling through. (??? -- can't read one of the kanji here)
Zalem looked like it might just drop at any time. (??? --- can't read one of the kanji)
And with all its might, one tube, like a giant snake, fell onto our town.
PG 14
panel 1
When night fell, innumerable shooting stars filled the sky.
That horrific night, I thought I was seeing the end of the world.
panel 2
S-so gramps is telling us a horror story now!
panel 3
Horror, you say?
Welll... just look at your feet.
PG 15
panel 1
These are the remains of that ruined factory.
panel 2
Anything that has a shape, can break at any time. There is nothing that is eternal...
For example, this too was once part of Tiphares... (???)
PG 18
panel 1
Ping.
My friend Ping Wu.
panel 2
The figure of thee, sacrificing all thy function for the sake of other people...
Only I, Landa Namnam, saw it.
panel 3
I want to help realize my friend's dreams.
However...
PG 19
panel 1
Beep Boop.
Peeboop.
PG 20
panel 1
I've been forced to destroy the cat robot ye entrusted thy dream to.
panel 2
Byort. Byort.
Byort Boop Boop.
panel 3
Diagnosis report... fuselage*CPU: no database entries. Unable to service structure.
No external damage to CPU. Diagnosis: Imperfect software function.
panel 4
Search for the reset switch.
Roger.
PG 21
panel 2
Byoot? Byoot?
Bee-bop Bee-bop
Bunbu Bunbu
panel 3
Oh... we are all being accessed!
Robots, quiet yourselves.
PG 22
The robot god.
Melchizedek has taken form.
PG 23
panel 1
No... I am one of the 25 units comprising Melchizedek.
Just the vision of an old man.
panel 2
Therefore the once and future king... Arthur!
Then you heard my wish... you want us to repair this robot.
panel 3
Bring the Fata Morgana here.
PG 24
panel 1
Kyoo kyoo
Bii
panel 3
Byoot.
panel 6
I don't have the power to stop her decision to return to scrap...
much less the power to make the dead walk.
panel 7
That knowledge lays inside her... thus, all I can do is call out to her.
PG 25
panel 1
Your fate is to journey the wasteland by yourself.
But you are not alone in your fight.
panel 2
Look.
Gaze upon this vision of those who have entrusted their dreams to you!
PG 26
panel 2
The strong.
The weak.
panel 3
The noble. The vulgar.
The living. The dead.
PG 27
Your flesh is destroyed, and your spirit extinguished. But the quantum vibrations your life set forth continue to eternally echo throughout space.
Your fight is also their fight.
PG 28
panel 1
Pii Pon. Pap Pon.
Byoot! Byoot!
panel 2
My definition of human beings...
...has been expanded!
panel 3
Your actions determine your existence!
They are the same as the first flame in the darkness of absolute zero.
PG 29
Live again
PG 31
Can these numerous thoughts wake Alita from her slumber?!

and for the alternatives : i say you release phase by phase from now on, since phase numbers are not exactly the same between UJ and volume release. like what it's done for other mangas. just my opinion (and wishes :p )
