The gentleman in the black suit, who came in on a motorcycle...everyone's apparently amazed and enthralled at him. Toji's amazed, Yani and Derossi are shocked, Sechs is bewildered. My Japanese sucks nards...who is this man? Should I simply wait until the scanlation comes out? I feel like, for some reason, I can wait for the whole Desty Nova thing to be translated...that seems entirely more...likely to be as insane as it looks.

But this motorcycle man baffles me! Incredibly impressive fighter, tho, huh?

I can wait if you'd rather not tell me, if it's someone amazing or completely unexpected.

His name's Zekka. Points of interest:

- He knows Mbadi, Toji, and the pit crew somehow. There's a line I'm having trouble translating that may indicate he was Toji's mentor or somesuch.
- The kanji for his name indicate something like "suppressed flame."
- The three dots in his head are "compound eyes," and allow him to see what his opponents are going to do.
- He seemingly hits on Sechs, while showing no interest in Alita.
- He's a hardcore anarchist, and his idea of a true warrior is someone who can destroy an entire planet by himself.
- He has the same body type as Sechs (Fizziroy Body), but is able to move at supersonic speeds while standing still.
- He keeps referring to Sechs as "kid."

Fucking great! That's awesome! You know, now that you mention it...



This "Zekka" is very likely to be who Yani is referring to in the bottom panel. It would explain how Yani and Derossi know him, if nothing else.
