Hmm ... another idea.
Had you heard about "genetical exp." ?
THIS could be a great possibility!

Never heard of it. Any link or explaination please?

I think ganku was thinkin about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_memory

I think that this French "gesigner" implanted whole bunch of zekka gens to archive beter fighting inteligence.. in to every creature in zott..

About team streanght i also agree that they will be extraordinary.. They defeted former Zott champion (it was also venusian team) so maybe it will be organic beserker :D:D meat that can fuse with metal

[Sergio Nova]

hmm

does anyone remember the show babylon 5
it had the two most powerful races, vorlons and shadows, using organic like technology for their ships, and they were beating the crap out of everyone else.

Great analogy!!

A great chapter with 'l'Homme du feu".

yay!

[Twitchywrote]

Huh....so...even with genetic engineering, you have to raise your creations? That's certainly what it looks like. Hm.

Also....page 13...Great Martian King! WOO HOO!

[MrFaber]

Wow, the second werewolf on alita! (see Jugo encounter) the first one was pretty uncompetitive anyway

Maybe one of next chapters shoul be some flashback from deckman 100 for how the story is going on, maybe of when he was walking a street and found a 100 chips coin on the ground.

[wowylied]

I think i will make a colo with this chapter.

[Dream]

Beautifull chapter, but I wish Yukito Kishiro would spend less time creating and develloping new characters and actually devellop what's already there.
Damn. One chapter and the match isn't even started yet. We are at least going to have 4 chapters of Zekka vs Zekka now. Damnit.

[crazyankan]

Can't wait for the girl name.
I bet it is another reference from somewhere

[Dream]

the katakana says "Orampu"
But i can't find anything in french that match with it. Some litterature reference, maybe.

[Sergio Nova]

Can't wait for the girl name.
I bet it is another reference from somewhere

Indeed! Kishiro has so many references that we need an entire library to search.

[MrFaber]

Yeah, but to have something happening too wouldn't be bad, kishiro starts to rememeber me george martin, for those who read a song of fire and ice

[Kamui04]

Pretty much the chapter is self explanatory.

The girl name is Olympe while Homme du Feu original name is Igrek. And as you can see his nature gets the best of him and tries to eat her and finds out she's an Android.

The last few pages she reveals that although she's an Android her feelings for him were real. Igrek makes a deal with Pissarro, in exchange of winning they'll free Olympe (he literally says for Venus he'll offer them a blood bath).

[Dream]

Damn. "Olympe" of course. I got stuck at the l/r sounds and was probably focusing to much on french words. lol.

Also "Igrek", is probably "i grec", witch is the french pronounciation of the letter "Y". probably like the chromosome.

[Mad Hat]

"Igrek" in russian lang is math symbol "Y" . "X" - iks, "Y" - igrek or igrik.

[Cailon]

@Mad Hat: Hm, that would make sense, calling him "Y", like his chromosome (maybe he is even YY?).
The only problem remaining is, why are the venusians (french) have a russian (jovians) name for their creature?

Ok, you mustn't complain about chapters befor they're translated and before the story goes on but I too think: wtf?
First stressing out Tojis character, now giving space for Igrek and another entirely new character. Are these charas that much important? Like someone said before, why not concentrate on the existing charas, do the damn fight, put ZOTT to an end and move on? jeez.

Okay, folks. You're really gonna hafta quit this belly-achin' routine, because Kishiro's been doing this since the beginning of the tournament. He spends a chapter fleshing out a character which may appear meaningless. He's probably going to KEEP doing it, too. I'd wager that he doesn't want his story to be the typical "they get stronger and stronger until the end!" that so many anime tournaments end up being.
My point is this: He's done this before. He's going to keep doing it. I honestly think he LIKES doing it. Probably considers it to be a part of his personal style. He obviously doesn't think he's running the risk of losing readers because of it. I still believe the payoff will be worth the wait. But folks, please...it can't surprise you that he's taking this route again. If it does surprise you, try and look back at the tournament participants whose backstory and vignettes lent to the overall substance of Kishiro's universe, and who lent to the story. I want Alita to go to Mars, too, but I'm not going to complain the whole trip.

Patience, friends. Let him work.

[Kamui04]

Here's the script, this one was pretty fast indeed. As Dream pointed out, "I grec" is Y in french, I'll use it instead. Used Igrec so it's sounds more like a name, easier on typesetting and less confusing.

[hepar]

"Y" as "i grec" is french. Russians apparently took the french word, for some reason.

It's actually "I greek" (Y Græca) from latin. The reason was simple, from 17-th to 20-th century there were French, then Deuch, then English and American science domination. So you can figure out, when the adaptation of this symbol was made.

Also, I think that name without a space breake is better. "Igrek" or "Igrec" instead of "I grec" — the last one is more confusing.

[hepar]

maybe he is even YY?

Scientifically proved that X-chromosome is indispensable. The only thing that Y-chr. codes is mustashes, even a dick is written on a X-chr.
So double Y won't make you more manly. It's also been proved that species has a different combinations to define gender.
As I remember... XX - cock XY - chick or smth liek that.

@ kamiu04: Thanks!!

@ Twitchywrote: Sir yes sir. I admit you're right with what you said, I wont complain anymore

@ hepar: sorry, that was bitty knowledge of mine. I checked it, I meant that there is the possibility of XYY: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYY_syndrome --- but you need the X, right. Also I had in mind, that XYY's had far more testosterone in their body but thats not true either. So I take back what I said.
