For a moment, I thought it was a eletromagnectic karate master. Oh well.
Fat chance the statue is the founder of panzer kunst, and Zhao Long was one of his disciples, hence the high rank?

I love Kishiro's character designs, they're always so rad.

The man holds the highest rank in Panzerkunst history... And our little Yoko just happened to stumble on him, huh? ...Eh. Stranger things have happened in the name of plot advancement. Let's do this thing.

Ooooh, so the other Alt Meisters are onto Austad... well, at least one of them is.

He kinda looks like Tunpo... at least he makes me remember him.

During this age, cyborgs weren't as strong as the ones that exist in the present time. There were some impressive ones still, I bet the high-end ones from this time would still be very effective against many of the present ones... but there is some tech in the present time that is crazy shit.

There are some pretty inhuman cyborgs even now, but Zonohedron's are the ones that seem to have broken the mold more.

The shit many cyborgs can pull nowadays is crazy, many of them are strong only because of their bodies' capacities.

But I bet a guy like Zhao Long had mastered his body to crazy levels... I am curious now... if he had a present-level body... could he fight Zekka or Tunpo?

She ate a high-tech "semi-organic" info storage in the form of a leaf that had the memories of some sort of mysterious spiritual martian figure that seems to have a connection to the legend of nazis going to Mars... I think meeting a grandmaster in the country that belongs to his martial art isn't the strangest thing that has happened to her.

And that... is without me mentioning Yoko's... "birth".

Like I said, stranger things have happened. A contrivance is still a contrivance, though, even if it's minor just judging by the story itself, nevermind other works. I never said it was a bad thing. It  is funny to me, though.

For an undead who can't give birth, Caerula is the mother of too many things.
She is considered the mother of Athur Farrell, who founded LADDER and created Mechizedek.
She is considered the mother of Alexei Sauer, who founded Panzer Kurst.
And we can consider she is Alita's mother, as the one who killed Yoko.
Hm... is there too many A?

Yeah, she is one, if not the only, figure that we can trace from before the fall of Apophis.

She is quite literally the reason humanity had the chance to regrow and take itself out of a state of devolution.

But we have hints that there may be "seeds" at least as old as her in the space age.
