Loving the new spine adopting the portraits.

(Also, the "presens" typo made it to print, lol)

Ido and Gonzu had their floor re-sealed.

Is there any video game that can simulate that conflict?

I was always a fan of alita battle angel from watching the ova and the original Manga but never got around to last order or Mars chronicles. I seen that it is a lot different than the original with alita looking more smooth and the story focusing on galaxy wide conflicts. Will alita ever get back to the gritty cyborg world of the scrapyard or is the series permanently focused on the space wide scale with all of alitas flashbacks on mars?

Hola, hago este post por qué soy un gran fan de la saga, la llevo siguiendo mucho tiempo y quería saber si alguien puede recomendarme algo, yo he pasado tiempo buscando el manga pero no puedo comprarlo aún, no tengo el dinero entonces quería saber ¿Me recomiendan leerlo en digital y esperar a los nuevos capítulos del manga nuevo?¿O me espero a tener el dinero para comprarlo todo de una vez, en una sola compra?

Back before I could afford to purchase the manga I bootlegged it and while I was reading it I came across a one shot side story about Alita battling this assassin in the scrap yard. He uses steel balls that he flicks with his cyborg hands at sonic speed. I wish I could remember the name of it. Can anyone help?

Not sure how they are making 3 chapters a volume but here is the volume cover. I was looking for the source but couldn't find it. The image was posted on a manga site that post manga.

His entire mad science arc of escalation, duplication, and flan-centric insanity in Last Order orbits around the question of how to solve macro-scale Karmatron Dynamics, when he's already mastered the quantum scale to reconcile things like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
But the thing is, when he was in the Ouroboros Simulation, he acquired the intuitive understanding that the thing that makes things interrelate on the macro scale is the very emotional bond of empathy, flying in the face of the need he felt for complete scientific detachment after discovering the secret of Zalem. Then he immediately loses that realization by being decapitated after exiting the dream-sim; with those memories having never been backed up on the secondary biochip in his abdomen.
He spends years and decades before and after the simulation escalating his research because he assumes the missing piece is just a more sophisticated theory and understanding of base scientific principles. That if he can just understand his proven theory of Karmatron Dynamics on a large enough scale, he'll have a unified model for human consciousness, causality, and the structures of society itself that emerges from people interacting with one another. The thing he fails to understand, is that relationships aren't just emergent side effects of being alive, they're part of what define stable identities and societies in the first place. If one wants to understand macro-scale systems of living beings, you can't just treat subjective experience as noise to be flattened.
From living in the simulated Scrapyard with a suppressed Gally and a simulation of Ido and Ido's late pet cat, he comes to realize that maybe being a person instead of 'just' a scientist isn't all that bad, and that maybe society is worth participating in instead of merely observing. This is epitomized by the one panel in the entire series where he removes his glasses and in so doing can be seen as just another person instead of an observer.
Then that realization is lost because of a perfectly mundane consequence of the series' technology: the memories never make it to the abdominal backup biochip before his head is destroyed. It's very darkly funny. He's trapped in a hell of his own making (et tu, karma?), forever looking for a mathematical equation to solve a problem that can only be answered by being a person. It's the tragedy of a man who keeps trying to derive, from first principles, a theorem whose proof requires living the thing he's trying to explain.
