OK, so Erika is once again confirmed to be obsessively in love with Yoko, and at least for now Yoko is reciprocating those feelings.
Yoko starts getting deus-ex powers.

Yunnie being able to see deus-ex Yoko's move's while not being in fairy mode might suggest that her fairy mode is nothing more than a hidden combat talent after all, but then again it could also suggest that she is slowly merging with Mrs. fairy (one could also argue that the whole thing didn't have any deeper meaning than Y.K. simply wanting to make Yoko look a tiny bit more cool.. but if you start with that sort of thinking you'll quickly end up with the silly notion that the entire world isn't a huge twisted Illuminati experiment).

Possibly most importantly though, the TGIV kids are confirmed to be brainwashed rather than mind controlled, which could prove to be serious trouble for the Kunstler's a little bit down the road.

Ok now that I finish reading it was pretty interesting, a nice callback to why alita could awaken her powers in the first place i suppose during the scrapyard days. Seems her eyes have amazing mirror neurons by the sounds of it, also it makes look back how she could save erica, and stick her hand out against the robot mercenary with zero fear and learning a bit more about erica's mindset got me intrigued actually, I think alita's words how she said to erica that she hasn't changed at all makes it more tragic that she couldn't get past her flaws and stayed static as a cold, heartless bitch. Erica just wants to be loved and not be abandoned can't fault her for feeling that but her methods of going about it needs work though I would like to see if kishiro can pull it off.

I am glad the three kunstler sub plot wasn't for nothing as one of them survived guess I need to have a little more faith in Kishiro sensei.
