Your thoughts on the BAA universe. Anything can be posted here. Post by Gallygun » Thu Dec 16, am So, this was only really prevalent in the first three volumes of HFV; in the first volume, Alita is named after a boy cat.
Then she is put into a male cyborg body that Gonzo is shocked by, but then it is changed to a woman's body. In volume three, she asks Ed why she was put in a female body for Motorball.
Why do you think this is? The issue just disappears after these examples, but since it is brought up three times very early on, I wonder what was in Kishiro's mind. Was it to make sure Alita's manly mechanical strength was solidified in the reader's minds? Was this supposed to go further like in Gestalt, where the lead female character ends up turning into a man in the last volume , but then did the publisher nix the idea out of existence before it could come to fruition?
