Battle Angel Alita

A tall cyborg , Clive Lee wore a distinctive circular hat and long coat that did not fully cover his body.  An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar shows Lee's outfit as being black, with the top of his hat being red. [1] Lee's appearance in the OVA is quite different, as he has a white body and red eyes.  He wears a red mask that covers the lower part of his face, a large, dark green circular hat, and a long, dark green short-sleeved coat with a high collar.  In Gunnm: Martian Memory he wears a brown hat and shoes and a green coat.

As a veteran hunter-warrior , Lee had no qualms about helping Nana betray her husband and had no remorse in going after Hugo when he in turn became a bounty .  He was a firm believer in the hunter-warrior code, seeing Alita 's relationship with Hugo as a betrayal of it.
Lee is given more of a personality in the OVA where he is more of a rival of Gally's and has grown jealous over her success as hunter-warrior at having beaten him to every bounty since Grewcica .


Battle Angel Alita

Limeira is a young, slim woman with wavy, medium coloured hair. She wears a long light coloured scarf, a long sleeved blouse, light coloured pants and soft shoes. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts her as being a brunette and wearing a white blouse and scarf. Limeira is almost never seen without her constant companion, a large teddy bear named König . [1] As a toddler Limeira had rosy cheeks and wore a light coloured long sleeved shirt and sleeveless dress. In Gunnm: Martian Memory she first appears as a young teenager with dark brown hair that is tied back and wears a white headband and blue sleeveless dress. After becoming the ruler of Mars she has matured into a younger version of her mother, wearing similar attire.

Although young, Limeira possesses wisdom, compassion, and understanding beyond her years, although she still lapses into a more childlike and immature version of herself that is more reflective of her actual age on occasion.
Believing that human life has meaning because it has a natural cycle, she is aligned with Kingdom Parliament's policy of rejecting Methuselyzation . This makes her sympathetic to the plight of children who have been subsequently deemed redundant, and she thus respects the Stellar Nursery Society, whose objective is to rescue unwanted children.


Battle Angel Alita

Characterized by his high spiked fair hair, Lyuben is a fair skinned cyborg who is based on a fan-submitted design by Inuitake-Maru from Saitama . His hair precludes him from wearing any other headgear aside from a knit head wrap. He wears the standard Mars Kingdom Parliament Army combat and working uniforms.

One of the three Mars Kingdom Parliament Army soldiers shown who appears to be the closest to Zazie, Lyuben helped treat her when GG brought her in for medical attention. Saitama describes Lyuben as "A cyborg soldier for Mars Kingdom Parliament. Uses a military fighting style, excels at close range combat using a machine gun fitted with a bayonet." [1]


Battle Angel Alita

Makaku had a varied appearance depending on what role he was fulfilling. He was originally fully human , being a fair skinned boy with light coloured bushy hair wearing a light coloured tee shirt. After he was severely burned with a flamethrower by a pair of Scrapyard punks his body began to decay in the fetid environment of the Scrapyard sewers . Following his rescue by Desty Nova , Makaku received the Maggot Body , which reflected his innermost desires. It featured a very large head topped with a spike and was attached to a long, snakelike cyborg body that terminated in a spiked tail. The first cyborg that he was shown to have taken over was a large body over which he normally wore a robe that also obscured his face. After this body was destroyed, he cobbled together a makeshift body using Izuchi 's limbs, using a head that he had stolen as a mask to hide his face and covering himself with a white robe. The last body that he possessed was the Power Body , a customized competition body for the Coliseum which he stole from its original owner Kinuba .
In Gunnm: Martian Memory Makaku's head is flesh coloured and his teeth are in a permanent grin. His first body has a silver torso and wears dark blue-green jeans. The Power Body is a dark grey with its outfit a light yellow with a black crosshatch pattern, while the helmet has bright yellow horizontal horns.

Makaku as a young boy in Battle 7. Makaku in his first cyborg body in Battle 2. The Maggot Body in Battle 3. Makaku in his improvised body in Battle 4. Makaku in the Power Body.

Makaku's life was profoundly changed by his near death in the Scrapyard sewers , and as much as his own death he feared that his existence would go unnoticed. When he acquired the Maggot Body and was able to venture to the surface, he used its destructive capabilities to continuously assure himself that he was alive and was doing something. He tried to relieve the residual pain from his burns by obtaining the endorphins from human or dog brains , but as the pain never went away this had turned into an endless cycle. Makaku's life essentially had remained the same ever since he lay dying in the sewers with no one paying significant attention to him until Alita appeared and took him seriously by fighting him. Despite the role that Daisuke Ido had played in defeating him, he completely ignored him at Bar Kansas , focusing on Alita instead.


Battle Angel Alita

Master was a fair-skinned man who is slightly overweight. He sports a mohawk and has a thin beard running along his chin; due to some unknown injury in his past, Master wears a prosthetic eyepiece on the side of his head. He usually is seen wearing a light colored shirt with a dark vest. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts Master as having tanned skin with light green hair. [1]
Due to him breaking both legs while catching Koyomi after she was dropped from a great height by Den, Master had both legs amputated; by the epilogue, his torso was connected to a mobile platform with tank treads to get around. During the opening of another Bar Kansas location, he is seen wearing a white shirt and a thick light colored coat. [2]

Master is usually seen as a quiet individual, wishing to stay away from confrontations. He is frequently trying to keep the peace whenever fights break out between hunter warriors who frequent his establishment. It is believed that while a lowly resident of the Scrapyard, Master has a strong business acumen; this is seen as him having run and operated several successful and popular bars over the course of a few years.
What really drives Master forward is wishing to have a peaceful life away from conflict with his adoptive daughter Koyomi; whenever something comes up that threatens this vision, he is quick to lash out and cut off relations with anyone involved.

Mauer's most notable feature was his mantis-like head, which had antennae and a pair of large, multi-directional eyes. During Operation Hagel he wore Mars Kingdom Parliament Army combat fatigues.


Battle Angel Alita

Megil was a bald man with a dark, thin beard. He wore sunglasses, a large spiked collar, and a dark jacket over a patterned suit. He used a cane for support. Megil had a cyborg modification to his head that allowed drugs in capsule form to be directly injected into his brain . The lycanthropazine transformed him into a massive, extremely muscular dark-furred werewolf who retained the sunglasses and grew into the collar. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts Megil as a black werewolf. [1]
In Gunnm: Martian Memory , he is a blue werewolf with white paws and red eyes and claws.


Battle Angel Alita

Battle Angel Alita

As she has a tomboyish appearance, the messenger can be easily mistaken for being male.  She has a skinny build and is fair skinned and with fair, bushy hair.  She wears a cap, sleeveless shirt, dark suspenders, coloured pants and shoes.


Battle Angel Alita

Misha is young, fair-skinned woman with long, fair hair. Like the other female members of the Starship Cult , she wore a white, sleeveless dress with a ceremonial dagger at her belt.

All of the female members of the Starship Cult had been hypnotised to be in love with and be blindly obedient to Whophon . Misha was thus thrown into a panic when she could not join her fellow cult members in going to the "New World" when she was stopped from committing suicide by Sechs . Despite the predicament she found herself in when she was added to the Starship Cult's roster, she did not panic and accepted her possible death.


Battle Angel Alita

A huge, dark skinned man, Morse was the largest member of the handful of surviving Type-V mutants . Completely bald, he had a mustache and beard. Morse was blind, having five large scars on his face, two each over his eyes. He wore a long white bandanna over his eyes and at first did not cover his head. He wore a variety of clothing, which initially consisted of a dark sleeveless robe secured at the waist by a white sash, black fingerless gloves, pants, and boots. He later added a knit cap and jaguar skin vest, using a fur for traveling in blizzard conditions. After he was killed by Arthur Farrell his upper body was revealed to be heavily muscled with numerous scars and several gunshot wounds.

Morse was Victor Byron 's most loyal follower, doing what he could to prevent the latter from committing suicide when he could not overcome the despair and depression that hit him when Vilma Fachiri went missing in ES 69. Although he questioned Victor for allowing Zapolska to eat the poisoned food that had been served to the group at the Farrell Shelter , he did not bear the same ill will that Jacco did towards Vilma as a result of the incident.


Battle Angel Alita

Muraviyov has a variation of the standard Jovian cyborg body, with his tentacles connected separately to his front and four small "feet" on the underside of his body. He does not have a number as part of his name and none shows up on the front of his body.


Battle Angel Alita

Murdock was an older man with a bushy mustache who wore an ushanka , coat, pants, and boots. Although he was largely human , he had a cybernetic implant in his chin that allowed him to communicate with his dogs without speaking. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts him as wearing a black ushanka and dark brown coat. [1] In Gunnm: Martian Memory he is dressed all in brown.

A tenacious hunter-warrior, Murdock never gave up a hunt once he started or found his quarry. He initially came across as gruff and reticent, but opened up after seeing Koyomi interact with Fury. Following Zapan's apparent death, he greatly mellowed out, but nonetheless was willing to put himself and his dogs on the line to protect Master , Shumira , and Koyomi. He was also selfless, willing to sacrifice his own life to save those he cared about.


Battle Angel Alita

The mutant woman had a long mane of fair hair and was fair skinned. She had narrow slit pupils, pointed ears, pronounced incisors , and a small, monkey-like nose. The woman's nails were very long and almost clawlike. She wore a light coloured outfit which consisted of a short sleeved top and a loincloth. She also wore bandages wrapped around her forearms and the soles of her feet and had boot-like leggings on her lower legs. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts her as having fair skin and being blonde. [1] In Gunnm: Martian Memory the mutant woman has fair hair, pink skin, and wears light coloured clothing.

Battle Angel Alita

Niz has short, neatly trimmed blond hair, a sharp nose and a pair of rectangular glasses. He has two streaks of face paint on either side of his head.

Niu is a loyal and protective soldier, though he has not much prior experience in battle.

Battle Angel Alita

Nova II was the closest incarnation in appearance and dress to the original Desty Nova. He wore a dress shirt with tie and slacks, over which was a white lab coat . Like the original Nova and his subsequent incarnations, Nova II bore the mark of Tiphares on his forehead.

Just like how he appeared to exactly resemble the original Nova, Nova II's personality was similar as well. While he worked and hoped to continue his studies of karma, he was notably more open and willing to work alongside Alita when compared with his later incarnations and even the original Nova; he unknowingly was instrumental in bringing together Alita and the surviving AR-2 series units, who would later form the Space Angels group that would fight in the ZOTT .


Battle Angel Alita

Nova X is identical in appearance to Desty Nova, except that he dresses in a white chef's uniform , alternately appearing with or without the toque .

The most distinguishable personality trait of Nova X was his even more obsessive love of flan , which he frequently used as the subject of metaphor s. At first, he exhibited a willingness to cooperate with both Tiphares and the Scrapyard , which led to him working alongside Marge Mahan and Kaos . However, Nova X was using this cooperation as a facade to mask the dark side of his personality; this was first hinted at when he suggested to Nola Lafargue that killing him would have adverse consequences for the Tipharean survivors whom he had given flan to. Nova X later used the fall of Tiphares to imprison the surviving Tiphareans and Scrapyard delegation who visited the fallen city, forcing Kaos to play for their lives.

He wears a white ruffled shirt over which is a striped green suit, with a diagonal belt across his chest, and bright brown shoes.  Potemkin's belt has a pouch that carries his tablet computer .  After being infected by the Berserker cells , he transforms into a bipedal version of the Berserker Body identical to the form that Zapan assumed.


Battle Angel Alita

Potemkin had a variation of the standard Jovian cyborg body, with his tentacles connected separately to his front and four small "feet" on the underside of his body.  He did not have a number as part of his name and none appeared on the front of his body.


Battle Angel Alita

Rakan was a bald cyborg with large pupil-less eyes, dark skin, and retractable fingernails. He previously had fair human skin as a layer on top of his cyborg body and had dark hair with narrow eyes, appearing like a normal person. Like many space karatekas, Rakan dressed in a white gi with a black belt. Underneath this he wore a loincloth and his wicked rings .

In his previous life Rakan was a normal person and was married. However after his son Sho shot him without warning in order to prove that his father could really dodge bullets, part of Rakan's frontal lobe was damaged, completely altering his personality. He abandoned his family, telling them before he left that "In a nutshell, I wanna fornicate with young girls and kill all I want!!" [1] He then went on to become an underworld assassin and rapist.
Like Zekka , Rakan was characterized by his selfishness and willingness to kill readily. However he was also able to restrain himself when necessary, particularly before Zekka had all the karatekas who wished to join the Space Karate Forces engage in a massive brawl.


Battle Angel Alita

Rakan 's wife's face was never shown. She is a fair skinned woman who had dark hair worn in a bun when she was younger and wore a house dress and patterned housecoat. Currently she is wheelchair bound and has long white hair, wearing a fair coloured cap and jacket.

Battle Angel Alita

Jim is a slim young man with short, fair hair who wore a long sleeved light colored jacket over a white shirt and dark pants and shoes. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts him as having white hair and wearing a light brown jacket. [1]

Initially a bright and gifted youth, Jim's personality would undergo a significant shift upon hearing the existence of the brain bio-chips . He would then declare all adult Tiphareans to be enemies and strived to lead fellow Tipharean youths to victory throughout the ensuing civil war, expressing ruthlessness and calculating attacks. Jim would go on to develop a nihilistic view of life upon reaching the MIB core, seeing all lives in the city as worthless and turning his back on the few allies he had who were still alive.


Battle Angel Alita

Russell was an older man with a bushy mustache who had light-coloured hair that was balding. He wore glasses without temples and dressed in polo neck sweatshirts and pants, over which he would wear a lab coat . Russell looks like an older version of Daisuke Ido , which suggests that they shared DNA from the same genetic stock, a common occurrence on Tiphares.

Bigott Eizenburg originally brought Russell into the GIB in order to help bring Alita into line as he was more kindly and not as stern. [1] He had much more concern for Alita than Eizenburg did, objecting to her replacement by the TUNED AR Series 2 .  However after Alita was resurrected on Tiphares by Desty Nova , his attitude changed to one of superiority and of full commitment to the Tipharean way of life, and was very anxious about the threat that Alita posed as an outsider. He shows to be a rather weak willed individual whom often boasted of racial superiority while cowering in fear of something completely alien or foreign to him.


Battle Angel Alita

Sarah was a young woman in her late 20's to early 30's with dark hair and of average height. She was seen wearing a white shirt and pants, with a light colored headband.

The most noteworthy trait of Sarah's was her cheerful outlook on life; she was always able to see the bright side in life and was able to see the potential in others.


Battle Angel Alita

Sechs has black, spiky hair and is missing his right eye, which was lost before his fight against AR-4 . Like the other members of the TUNED AR Series 2, his number, 6, is on his forehead and he has metallic eye black under both eyes. He first used the TUNED body , based on Alita, but transitioned upon getting the Fizziroy Body , giving him a more masculine body and making him markedly taller.
He is the only surviving member of the AR Series who still wore a semblance of the original TUNED outfit and equipment, albeit in adapted form. This includes fingerless gloves, the body armor, black body suit, knee pads, and boots. He discarded the belt and holster components of the armor, going with only the Solenoid Quench Gun and the Titan Blade as weapons. Like Alita, Sechs also began wearing a cloak to protect himself from the wind and sand of the Badlands . The armor first reflected the TUNED body that Sechs originally used, then was modified after he acquired the Fizziroy Body and transitioned.
After the TUNED body was heavily damaged by Alita, Sechs had to use the interactive interface temporarily as a primary body. It was customized by Elf and Zwölf to be similar in appearance to his TUNED body and able to function independently. Later it was connected to the Fizziroy Body via a cable and normally is kept perched on Sechs' shoulder. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts Sechs as having dark brown hair with a metallic silver patch covering his right eye and a tan colored body, with the adapted interface body also sporting tan colored boots and straps across its body. [1]

Sechs has a highly aggressive personality and greatly enjoys fighting. Following the fall of the Ground Investigation Bureau , Sechs began developing his own personality like the other surviving TUNED AR Series 2 androids. This is possibly derived from the TUNED AR Series 2's original programming, which in turn was based on the destructive and nihilistic personality that Alita had developed during the decade that she spent as a TUNED agent. Following his defeat by Alita he began to question his own reason for existence, which has led him to ask Zazie and Zekka what their definition of a true warrior is. Due to his lack of general interactions with others, Sechs can often get confused by several common sayings and find himself in awkward situations asking for an explanation; this often leads to others around him bursting into hysterical fits of laughter (much to his confusion and anger.) Even though Sechs was primarily known to focus on becoming a powerful warrior and not give much attention to his teammates or others around him, he did have a caring side as he advised Alita to sit out and leave the fighting of Round 1 to himself and their "sisters" when he saw her suffering from mental anguish. This would also be highlighted as Sechs would later prevent a woman from committing suicide and also go on to serve as a guardian for the Steller Nursery Society after completion of the Z.O.T.T.
Over the course of the Z.O.T.T, Sechs has demonstrated that he is a capable second in command of the Space Angels when Alita is not available, and has become quite analytical in finding weaknesses and openings that him or his teammates can take advantage of. Although being initially assigned female, Sechs transitioned with the acquisition of the Fizziroy Body , which is anatomically male.


Battle Angel Alita

Sho is a fair skinned, middle aged man with dark, chin-length lanky hair and mustache and beard stubble. He wears a soft brimmed cap, long hooded coat, fingerless gloves, and carries a shoulder bag. Sho's clothing has an overall worn and dingy appearance from his reduced circumstances. When he was younger his hair was combed to the right with a strand falling between his eyes. He wore a patterned scarf over a button up coat.


Battle Angel Alita

Shumira is a young woman with dark skin and light hair. She is often seen wearing a shirt that exposes her mid-riff, a torn light jacket with dark stripes on the lapels and light colored pants with a dark belt. She is also always seen wearing a patterned bandanna on her head.
After she begins working in Bar New Kansas as a server, Shumira would wear a striped shirt with an apron. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts Shumira as having tanned skin with dark blonde hair and brown eyes. [1]

Shumira is often seen smiling and is an extremely excitable person, often referring to herself in the third person. She is known to grow very attached to her family and those that she trusts; Shumira is also somewhat possessive and is known to harbor jealousy toward others she is not fond of. [2]


Battle Angel Alita

While retaining Desty Nova 's trademark glasses, Super Nova's appearance diverges considerably from his counterparts and predecessors by having an afro and sporting different clothing, in particular a knee-length jacket with a fur-trimmed collar over a dark shirt and pants. The Japanese version of Angel Redux , which has a lineup of several characters in Last Order , shows that including his afro, he is around 180 cm tall. [1]

Super Nova retains Nova's deep desire to dissect and experiment with a markedly more sinister and diabolic personality. He was almost giddy with excitement when he revealed that the brain inside the fortified box was Alita's and laughed as she suffered a mental breakdown due to the revelation. He has displayed his readiness to kill all of the brains in the Ketheres Brain Incubator and unhesitatingly attacked his fellow incarnations when they refused to join forces with him. While he was more diabolical than most of his fellow incarnations, it could be seen that Super Nova was also more cautious and alert to his surroundings than his other selves; when he arrived at Mbadi's private meditation area, he waited until Mbadi angrily confronted Tzykrow and had cooled off somewhat before approaching him.
Despite recovering Alita's original brain, her resurrection aroused a much greater curiosity in him and was anxious to prevent Aga Mbadi from frying her brain bio-chip . Also reflecting Nova's continued pursuit of karmic research, he rescued Tzykrow from Mbadi only to take him on as his patient and perform various experiments on him.


Battle Angel Alita

Tanji had short, fair hair. He wore a mask which had two eyepieces and a filter for the mouth as well as a hooded robe, long-sleeved shirt which had several pouches in front, gloves, pants, and boots. In the OVA Tanji has dark blond hair and wears a light grey mask, blue robe, and grey outfit with dark brown gloves and boots.
Hugo's other accomplice Van was first misidentified as Danji, [1] but wears a different mask.


Battle Angel Alita

Taraba had a shrimp-like appearance, most notably with his head, as he had an antennae-like mustache and a chonmage shaped like a shrimp's tail.  The rest of his body was muscular and appeared segmented.  He is depicted as being a dark brown on the cover of Sans Angel .  Taraba was the second largest member of the Space Karate Forces. [1] He dressed in priestly garb and was shown holding prayer beads in his right hand while his left displayed a mudra , suggesting that he was an adherent of Space Buddhism . [2]

At first doubtful of the feasibility of Toji 's dream of founding Planet Karate, Taraba nonetheless was moved by his conviction, and offered his life to help Toji fulfill his aspirations.  During his fight with Homme du Feu , he gained a measure of respect for him, which drove him to not go down without a fight, issuing a challenge to him to fight as a man.


Battle Angel Alita

The owner was a middle aged, balding man with dark hair and a mustache. He wore a light jacket with a high collar and was a cigar smoker.


Battle Angel Alita

As a baby Sauer had fair skin and hair. He was depicted with his features in shadow as an adult, but was shown to be a fit-looking man with fair hair and a rugged appearance. In Gunnm: Martian Memory he is depicted standing before a wind in a similar manner as he is in Last Order , but with more detail. Sauer is shown to have been fair skinned man with long, fair hair clad in a long cloak and wearing wrist wraps .


Battle Angel Alita

The father was a large, muscular man with short, close-cropped hair. He wore a tank top and long shorts and carried his son in a sling.


Battle Angel Alita

Toji is a large, light coloured cyborg with a T-shaped head and small circular eyes. He wears a white gi with a black belt that has its sleeves ripped off, although his previous gis had sleeves. He was originally much smaller, but sought out a large body for more power.
He is depicted as being a light gray with yellow eyes on the cover of volume 11 of the Gunnm: Last Order New Edition .

While Toji formed the Space Karate Forces with fellow masters Hogan and Gavit , it does not appear that he thought very highly of them. Upon the deaths of both individuals, he merely grumbled that he lost two teammates before the ZOTT had begun and neither one were impressive masters.


Battle Angel Alita

Trevor had fair coloured eyebrows and visible wrinkles around the parts of his face that could be seen, suggesting that he was the oldest member of Alpha Team as well as its only non- cyborg member.  During Operation Hagel he wore a black balaclava and a tuque as headgear with Mars Kingdom Parliament Army combat fatigues.


Battle Angel Alita

When he was younger, Tunpò had a wide face with the top of his head forming a shallow U. He was a fair colored cyborg who wore a battered gi at the time that he and Zekka received their karate names. After they went their separate ways, Tunpò founded Electromagnetic Karate and acquired a new body which had as its most notable feature a prominent horn-like appendage on his nose. His eyes have white pupils with dark irises . Following his retirement from karate and becoming a robo-jizo , Tunpò's Space Buddhist attire consisted of a soft hat and a stole and robe decorated with mitsudomoe and clouds. He also had prayer beads .
After manifesting in the physical dimension, Tunpò wears robes with the left side having a striped pattern while the right side is a solid light color. His avatar is of him in white robes with a light colored circle behind him from which multiple lines radiate.

Tunpò's personality is the complete opposite of his arch rival and former fellow pupil and Zekka . He also interpreted their master 's last words to them very differently. Quick to smile, he is very easygoing and does not anger easily. After founding Electromagnetic Karate he took on students to pass his teachings on to others unlike Zekka, who did not. At some point after the Second Zenith of Things Tournament Tunpò stepped down from leadership of the school and retired from the world, becoming a Space Buddhist monk.


Battle Angel Alita

Tzykrow is based on the character Zycrow from Yukito Kishiro 's manga Aqua Knight and has an ape-like appearance and light coloured, bushy hair. As a member of HIGH ORDER he wears a special armoured space suit similar to NEW ORDER 's. He wears the Künstler's distinctive eye black in narrow bands under his eyes. After having to use his Seinerweisen the only part of him remaining is his head, which is missing his right eye.

Despite his rank and position, Tzykrow appears to have had an unsavory reputation as the Kammer Gruppe instructor, gaining "the Brute" as a nickname.  His attitude alternates between arrogance and sycophancy depending on who he is dealing with.


Battle Angel Alita

Umba is a tiny, obese man with one cybernetic eye and the other non-functional, similar to Sechs ' right eye. He has thin hair and typically wears a cap and dark outfit. While with Esdoc Motors he used a tracked harness for mobility and to work. He is later shown using a larger platform with mechanical arms. In Gunnm: Martian Memory Umba wears green clothing and his harness is orange.

Although an expert at what he does, Umba is considered to be a savant and unable to perform many tasks outside of his profession. He is dependent on those around him, and during a conversation with Alita, fears that he is unable to live on his own without Ed's help. [1] Umba also suffers from a severe case of agoraphobia and prefers to stay away from large public areas. [2]


Battle Angel Alita

A massive cyborg , Vanado's most prominent features were the tall spikes projecting from his shoulders.  He had a smaller head with a pair of horns, a muscled torso, and his four large, spiked ratchet wheels were mounted to his arms.  A character size chart in volume 2 of Gunnm Works shows that he was much larger than either Kinuba or Zaariki , while his shoulder blades made him taller than Den . [1]


Battle Angel Alita

Vares was a fair skinned man with fair, chin length hair and one eye noticeably darker than the other. In the recording he made prior to his capture by Aga Mbadi , he wore a dark tuque , light colored scarf, trench coat, and gloves. He was missing the tuque at the time of his capture.

Prior to discovering the truth about the brain bio-chips , Vares claimed to have once had dreams of a normal, happy life. Following this event he became extremely despondent, coming to believe that that human beings were "livestock" and fated to lifelong slavery. He thus embarked on a series of horrific crimes that killed millions to learn how far human beings could "resist their own nature" by breaking down his own moral code to prove free will. [1] Vares' true nature was that of a coward, but before his confrontation with Mbadi he recorded what he knew he would not be able to tell Mbadi in the event of his defeat. Despite having foreseen this eventuality, when he was cornered by Mbadi and the recording played, he attempted to beg for his life and talk Mbadi out of obeying what he himself had recorded.


Battle Angel Alita

Vector is a tall, skinny, dark-skinned man who is almost never seen without his sunglasses on. He is completely bald and was clean-shaven at first before later growing out his beard and mustache. At the end of Battle Angel Alita and in Last Order , Vector is wheelchair-bound as a result of the injuries that he received from being shot by the Barjack . He initially wore business-suits, later adding a scarf.
In Last Order , he wears patterned robes and a scarf, and smokes cigars. In Gunnm: Martian Memory , Vector wears a white business-suit over a pink dress-shirt.

Despite his underhanded dealings, Vector is not without a sense of personal honour. His repeated offers to Hugo of the management of a supply route despite his young age, killing of one of Hugo's victims because he heard Hugo's name, and offer to shelter Hugo after Zapan uncovered him as a thief of spinal columns are examples.
While instrumental in helping preserve order in the Scrapyard following the fall of the Factory , Vector's business-interests are tied to the fate of the city, and he is not doing so out of purely altruistic reasons.


Battle Angel Alita

Walrom's true appearance is largely hidden by his clothing, possibly due to the nature of his job.

Characterized by his scruffy appearance, Ping has shoulder-length black hair and perpetual stubble on his chin. He typically wears a reversed baseball cap and black polo neck sweater, pants and shoes in addition to sunglasses and a light colored trench coat. Ping has worn a light colored space suit with a pair of additional arms, although when he was younger he was shown wearing a standard suit and was clean-shaven. [2] Due to a prior incident involving the man known as Trinidad , he has a prosthetic left forearm and hand. This hand was a semi-independent robot named Kale who assisted him with hacking and various tasks. Following his second confrontation with Trinidad in ES 591, Kale was destroyed by an Eclipse attack and Ping was forced to amputate both his right arm and left leg to thwart further uses of it against him. An illustration by Yukito Kishiro for the 2003 Ultra Jump calendar depicts Ping as being slightly tanned, wearing his space suit and a dark green baseball cap. [3]
When in cyberspace, Ping used two avatars. The first had a cylindrical body on top of which was Ping's head with a half-spherical hat. Galeed , his combat avatar, was a gigantic figure with a jester -like appearance. It had a dark body with pointed white feet and various light patterns all over in a manner similar to Tron .

As a hacker and criminal, Ping had become somewhat of a scoundrel following his defeat by Trinidad. However he followed his own values and was not deliberately exploitative, although he was sometimes unable to understand how his actions negatively impacted others. It is implied that he used to be a more idealistic person but became jaded through his experiences. After learning how the world had come to be and learning of Alita's role in it, Ping's outlook changed and he was willing to sacrifice himself in order to help her fulfill her goals, as he knew that doing so would help achieve his. This and his earlier determination to attempt to change the state of the world nearly singe-handedly despite the possible consequences suggest that he had developed a martyr complex .

Yunie's original personality hovers over her physical body as a totally white phantom with a whispy tail instead of legs that is invisible to all but herself. [2]

Yunie has a very innocent personality to the point of being labeled stupidity by Erica , especially for her age. [1] She holds a strong belief in the idea that Fairies exist to the point where she attributes her own strange abilities to a Fairy and fully believes Erica and Yoko are fairies as well.

Battle Angel Alita

Zapan's first appearance was that of a man in his late 20s to early 30s with long spiked hair who used a tall, humanoid cyborg body. While in this body, he had three different faces: his original face with his trademark symbol on his forehead, a second replacement face and one that was swathed in bandages. In the OVA Zapan's hair is pink, whereas in Gunnm: Martian Memory it is blond. His typical attire was a striped shirt, black jacket, and pants. This stays the same in Martian Memory , although with the exception of his face, his head is blue. In the OVA Zavan wears light blue pants and a black jacket.
His final body was the Berserker Body , which could change its form into any shape he desired. On the ground, its appearance was humanoid at first with an elongated head before becoming more octopus-like. In its aerial form, it appeared similar to a fly. In Martian Memory the Berserker Body first appears in its octopus form before transforming into its aerial form.

Zapan's first face in Battle 10 Zapan's second face in Battle 23 Zapan's third face in Battle 23 Zapan's brain and facial remains recovered from the sewers by Desty Nova A closeup of Zapan's face after merging with the Berserker Body in Battle 25 Zapan in the Berserker Body in Battle 26 Zavan (Zapan) in the OVA Zapan in the 2019 film

Zapan was known to be a skilled hunter-warrior , often frequenting Bar Kansas and conversing with fellow warriors on occasion. His philosophy was one that respected strength and had no sympathy for losers. He had the mentality of a lone wolf, not believing in cooperation between hunter-warriors to take down a bounty . He claimed that a professional avoids risks as best they can, brings their prey down carefully and efficiently, then take home their earned chips . Zapan believed that his vindictiveness was his strong point and it is believed that he was quite prideful in his abilities. This is shown when Alita manages to humiliate him by easily beating him and several others in a fight; afterwards, he immediately began to look for ways to take his revenge on her. Zapan was also remarkably intelligent and could read his surroundings easily; after seeing how strong Alita was, he would begin looking for other ways to take her down by putting her at a disadvantage instead of using a direct approach.
After meeting Sarah , her open and forgiving nature had a profound impact on Zapan, softening him and making him more human , although he still struggled with managing his anger. He was almost freed of his prior fear and hatred of Alita, showing that he is not as single-minded as initially thought to have been; Sarah's influence would continue on in Zapan as his final act was to save Alita from death before his life ended.


Battle Angel Alita

"Zap" as he was known, was a tall young man with dark hair and glasses in ES 560.  He was dressed in a long, dark coat with a high collar.

Out of the five graduates, Terracotta displayed a sense of authority and the most maturity, breaking up Alef Argento 's attempt to rob Menhir without having to resort to force.  He did not respond to Argento's provocation that he was a goody two-shoes and a kiss up and saw-his and Jimmy Pimiento 's attitudes as childish.  Terracotta vowed to not to let himself be looked down upon for being an SNS orphan and to work his way up until he would be strong enough to change the world.


Battle Angel Alita

Zazie is a tall, dark skinned female cyborg who wears her hair in short cornrows . The Japanese version of Angel Redux , which has a lineup of several characters in Last Order , shows that she is around 180 cm tall. [1] She has a pair of black C-shaped bands around her eyes and another pair that runs underneath her cheeks, with a V-shaped band in the center of her forehead.
When carrying out her duties as Queen Limeira 's bodyguard and escort, Zazie dresses like a civilian. She wears pants and boots, favoring long coats which are set up to accommodate and conceal various firearms and ordnance, although it is not obvious that she is carrying these weapons underneath her coat. Zazie is nearly never seen without a tall, pillbox -type hat on her head, sometimes with havelocks attached. On the cover of Last Angel Standing , she is depicted as wearing a light khaki hat with matching trench coat, beneath which she has black combat pants and light khaki boots.
When she battled Alita outside the Samoyed I , Zazie used a white space suit that had three rocket boosters and a clear helmet. During Operation Hagel , she wore standard Kingdom Parliament Army battledress, including a beret as headgear. Following the operation, she wore a working uniform which included combat boots, fatigue pants, a long-sleeved jacket with the sleeves rolled, and gloves.
In a flashback of her at least a decade before, Zazie was shown wearing sunglasses, a black tank top, camouflage pants, and combat boots while engaged in combat.

Zazie in civilian dress from the title page of Phase 17 Zazie in her space suit in Phase 17 Zazie in Mars Kingdom Parliament Army battledress from the title page of Phase 83 Zazie on the cover of Last Angel Standing Zazie in combat against the Jupiter team, Warmen 609 .

Zazie is utterly dedicated to Queen Limeira, for whom she is prepared to give her life. For her the essential quality of a true warrior is "loyalty to her master". This includes "having a code to live by and fighting to the end" in support of a cause "worth more than life itself" or an ideal "that never wavers in the face of death". [2] It is her earnest wish to die by Limeira's side, such that the queen had to order her to support the Space Angels during the Tenth Zenith of Things Tournament because she would not leave to do so on her own even after Limeira gave her permission.
Calm, efficient, and highly effective on the battlefield where she is at home, Zazie is very shy when engaged in more personal matters. Making small talk is very much out of her comfort zone, as it took her ten minutes to even broach the subject of her experiences during Operation Hagel to Alita , during which Alita left without her knowing it. Zazie also got very nervous and self-conscious when Jack Gerambo asks her a question live on air when she is in the Combat Chamber . However when she was later pointed out during the Semifinals match by against Warmen 609 by Gerambo and received the audience's acclaim, she felt that she no longer had any regrets left in life.
As a soldier and Queen Limeira's bodyguard, Zazie is prepared for her own death. Although afflicted with an unknown Panzer Kunst move similar to the Dim Mak by Erica , she did not let the evidence and realization of her impending death deter her from making Alita aware of Erica, and she had already accepted her death as a fact until she was cured by Alita.
Zazie claims that one of her hobbies is collecting hats [3] and is rarely seen without one as an item of dress, favoring tall pillbox hats.

Zekka on the cover of Sans Angel

Supremely confident of his abilities, Zekka is characterized by his arrogance and respect for power. Characterized as an anarchist by Aga Mbadi , he believes that true power lies in the ability to destroy and his definition of a real man is someone who leaves nothing but destruction in his wake. He also has a very short fuse when things go wrong or he is unpleasantly surprised.
Unlike Tunpò , Zekka did not pass on what he had learned to others and stated that he does not take on students although Tunpò suggested that Sechs was a student of his. [2]
Zekka cannot stand the sound of ice being chewed, and was annoyed during his meeting with Aga Mbadi when the latter ate some in celebration of his apparent defeat of Tunpò .
