Although she has no memory of her previous life, Alita reacts instinctively when she sees Ido in danger, using a set of fighting moves known as Panzer Kunst. Realizing that she has mastered a lost martial art, Ido gives her a new body, one originally designed for a warrior, and the knowledge combined with the upgrades are literally a killer combo. Alita is more than just a fighting robot with a pretty face, though; she is also smart and strategic. Kishiro resists the temptation to let the battle scenes dissolve into a network of speedlines, instead focusing on the important elements and changing angles to show the motion of the characters. (When Alita spins, she does so in a perfect circle, which is both an impressive feat and a beautiful image.) He also populates his story with an assortment of bizarre and intimidating villains, each one imaginatively designed and intricately drawn, and sprinkles footnotes throughout the pages to explain the real and unreal science behind his creations.
