What? She died? Then the one from the first chapter is who? I'm fricking confused 😕

 

[DarkShadowBlaze00]

There is still hope, with how the first chapter is set up the girl we see should be her. So hopefully she get revived somehow.

 

[AlphraLoust]

I'm not really engaged with the premise given that it's yet another "enhanced human supremacy dilemma" story, which is pretty overdone in the Gundam franchise. With Mari's apparent death though, I'm truly curious as to who or what the girl from the start of the story is.
Also given how far along their relative timeline the story takes place, I wouldn't be surprised if the universe had medical nanomachines a la Gundam 00, and she'll be placed in a restoration chamber for some period of time.

All that said, I don't understand why the governing bodies didn't merely cover up the existence of "Eights" or introduce them as a Space-Exploration spec model of the existing 7th gen, so as to ease potential tensions. Did they not have a protocol established through the introduction of previous generations of humanity? Was there never dissent between previous generations of humanity? What makes this scenario any different aside from the space expidition?

I don't think she dies here. nevertheless the attempt itself is enough the eights need to warrant violent actions

also according to the scanlators twitter post, the series is going on hiatus until the end of April

Aw this is stupid. All this is stupid.

But. I'm digging it.

OK, this is unexpected and now adds a lot of questions.
Also shame we didn't see Naomi going full John Wick...

Hiatus may have been a bit much, but it's just not showing up until next month's issue (the typical break all titles cycle through).

The one from chapter one is a clone ain't she

 

[Yoshida_Ch]

Is it gonna reveal she's a clone or have a twin sister?

 

[moGinsanity]

place your bets
clone
unmentioned twin sister
revived through NANOMACHINES

Woul rather have nanomachines than the other two. The first two feel turbo lame.

Come on, there's still hope. We see her alive on ch 1
