Jovian: What is the status of "Operation: Glass Cat"? Report!

Advance Unit Mind Collective - Constituent Brain
Buhanov C-182
panel 2
Jovian: Primary quantum analysis of "Black Cat" complete. Data processing at 94%.
Jovian: Allow me to show you a model.
panel 3
Jovian: Even though it is our enemy, it's still quite a marvelous entity.
panel 5
Buhanov: You worthless incompetent!!
Jovian: Gyah!
panel 6
Buhanov: Haven't you seen the broadcasts?
Page 03
Buhanov: It looks nothing like that!!
Text: As the finals progress, plots are being hatched...!!
Title: Operation: Glass Cat
Page 04
panel 1
Jovian: I've been in here all night...
Jovian: Besides, that should serve adequately for the visual representation of the quantum model!!
panel 2
Buhanov: I see.
Buhanov: You have disappointed me, Muravyov.
panel 3
Buhanov: The Advance Unit Mind Collective has just reached a consensus.
Buhanov: Your mismanagement has cost us both the ZOTT and this dynamo. You will be stripped of your rank and reassigned to Europa.
Muravyov: Wha...!?
panel 4
Muravyov: w...Wait! I was only assigned here three days ago!!
Muravyov: How could this by my fault!?
panel 5
Buhanov: Your predecessor was killed in action by the enemy's nanomachine attack.
Buhanov: Someone has to take the blame, that's how the system works.
Page 05
panel 1
Muravyov: N...No...
panel 2
Muravyov: I don't want to go to Europaaaaaaa!!
panel 3
Buhanov: In view of recent events, the Advance Unit Mind Collective will be taking direct control of this counterattack!
Buhanov: I, Buhanov C-182, will henceforth assume command of "Operation: Glass Cat"!!
Page 06
panel 1
Buhanov: The objective of this plan is to inflict just retribution upon this despicable "Black Cat"...
Buhanov: Which by means of an underhanded nanomachine attack has robbed us of our technology and military secrets!!
panel 2
Buhanov: But, comrades! "Black Cat" is as quick as a shadow!!
Buhanov: Only through your diligent observation and calculation will we be able to capture it and pin it down like the insect it is!
panel 3
Buhanov: Once all of the measurements are complete, we will use the hijacked wormhole to activate the "Buhanov Effect".
Buhanov: "Black Cat" will then become "Glass Cat"!!
Page 07
panel 1
Buhanov: Time is of the essence, comrades!
Buhanov: According to our simulations, it should take no more than 3.21 seconds for "Black Cat" to kill its enemy.
SFX: clack clack
panel 2
Buhanov: However...
Buhanov: Cats do tend to toy with their prey...

panel 3
Gerambo: Toji gets back up and attempts to take the fight to the air!
Gerambo: And he's shot down!!
Page 10
panel 1
Toji: Something like a bullet went through my body...
Toji: It wasn't an oscillatory wave or plasma...
Toji: What in the world was that technique...!?
panel 2
Alita: I'll call it "Javelin* Palm"!!
Alita: I made an anti-tank shell in my palm by exciting the electrons to form an explosive.
Alita: I can't fire more than one at a time, but it still seems pretty useful.
Footnote: *Shaped Charge: A chemical explosive technology mainly used in anti-tank shells. They are constructed by forming the explosive into
a bowl shape and placing a plate of metal over it. Because of the Munroe Effect, when it is detonated the energy accumulates in the center
of the bowl before blasting through the plate, propelling a jet of molten metal outwards at speeds capable of penetrating armor.
Translator's Note: The Javelin is a modern anti-tank missile employing shaped charge technology. "Shaped Charge Palm" just didn't have much of a
ring to it.
Page 11
panel 1
Alita: Obviously, I didn't target your vitals, though.
Alita: See, I'm not done playing with you yet.
panel 2
Alita: Hahaha
Alita: Ha
panel 3
Toji: It seems...
Toji: That I have been going about this the wrong way...
panel 4
Toji: A clumsy oaf like me...
Page 12
panel 3
Gerambo: Ah!?
Page 13
panel 2
Gerambo: Just as Alita's attack connected...
Gerambo: She was blown back!?
panel 3
Hopper: Ah! That's...!!
Page 14
Toji: Super Crustaceous Style: Three Battles Stance!!
Translator's Note: "Three Battles" refers to the mastery of mind, body, and spirit that every martial artist must overcome to become a master.
Page 15
panel 1
Toji: A clumsy oaf like me shouldn't have been trying to become the cat...
Toji: But the rat instead!!
panel 2
Toji: The mighty rat that could defeat even its natural predators!!
Page 16
panel 1
Taraba: Out of all the styles of karate, Super Crustaceous Karate and Hyper Electromagnetic Karate are fairly similar.
Taraba: It should be possible for you to learn Super Crustaceous Karate's Three Battles Stance!!
panel 2
Taraba: Put simply, the Super Crustaceous Three Battles Stance is not a method of training your technique.
Taraba: Rather, there are secrets to using your body to its full potential.
panel 3
Taraba: Specifically, the artificial muscles all over your body! By using them as Tesla coils...
Taraba: You make a barrier space around your body with scalar waves...creating an absolute defense!
Page 17
panel 1
Taraba: Because every person's body is different...
Taraba: You must practice until you find the perfect frequency for your scalar waves.
panel 2
Taraba: You must look inside yourself until you can grasp how to turn your entire body into a tensed spring.
Taraba: Karate is deep stuff!! Hahaha!!
Page 18
panel 1
Toji: I will never be as great a warrior as you were, Taraba...
Toji: But if it's all right with you, I'm going to use your Three Battles Stance!!
panel 2
Toji: Alita...I respect you deeply.
Toji: I may be a few steps behind you when it comes to martial ability...but I have no intention of surrendering!!

Sechs: What the hell?
panel 2
Sechs: His strength is incredible
Sechs: But his attacks aren't working!!
Page 23
panel 1
Sechs: His movements are transparent, his rhythm is all over the place.
Sechs: It's like he's an amateur!!
panel 3
Sechs: Wait a sec...
Page 24
panel 1
Sechs: I've seen this fighting style somewhere before...
panel 3
Sechs: That's it!!
Page 25
panel 1
Sechs: It's the style you used when you first fought Homme du Feu, isn't it!?
panel 2
Zekka: Hehehe...
Zekka: I guess I can't shut you up with brawl mode...
Zekka: That old guy's new-model body is pretty tough, after all.
Page 26
panel 1
Zekka: My weaknesses are underestimating my opponent and being easily provoked...
Zekka: When some shithead newbie makes me snap, I go into "brawl mode", the way I used to fight when I was a kid.
panel 2
Zekka: But I'm not about to correct my weaknesses!
Zekka: Even flawed I'm invincible!!
Zekka: That's what it is to be a man!!
Sechs: Well said...
Sechs: (says the guy that got punted by Homme du Feu)
Page 27
panel 1
Sechs: I heard from Gramps...
Sechs: You have this crazy special move called "dragonslayer" or something...
Sechs: But even though you spent decades learning it, you've never found anyone to use it on.
panel 2
Sechs: If that's not all just a bluff, try it on me!!
Page 28
panel 1
Sechs: If I could see a super-cool technique like that...
Sechs: Even if I was vaporized on the spot, it would be worth it!!
panel 2
Zekka: Don't push your luck
Zekka: ...Fuckin' kid
Page 29
panel 1
Sechs: Here he comes!

panel 1
Zekka: I choose who I use my karate against.
panel 2
Zekka: It's a million years too early for a punk like you to call himself a "dragon".
Zekka: A simple hook is more than enough to beat you!!
Text: Zekka's serious mode!!
Edit 1: changed "gentlemen" to "comrades"
Edit 2: added BA's corrections
Edit 3: added Sergio's corrections
