How does the "Alita: Battle Angel" manga end?



I never read the manga but I have just watched the movie and now I'm curious about the next part of story. How does it continue? And, how does the first two arcs (Alita battle angel and last order) end?



The movie ends with Hugo death.




Answer



It's hard to compare the movie with the manga because some key points are different, but I will try to summarize.



The main differences in the movie and the manga is that Nova isn't in Zalem, and that the story we saw in the movie is actually 3 stories in the manga.


In the manga the story is divided like this:


story 1: Alita is found and rebuild by Ido (He is from Zalem, no wife or daughter exist/existed). Alita gets the berzerker body and it ends with Alita fighting the big guy from the movie and we get a hint about Nova existing.



story 2: Alita is an experienced Hunter-warrior, and during a raid she meets Hugo. He is a criminal harvesting spines but she doesn't know that. She falls in love, he gets discovered, and the story happens like in the movie. His head gets cut off, he gets a robot body, and he dies climbing to Zalem.


story 3: Alita became depressed after losing Hugo, leaves Ido to join the motorball league. (what is next might actually be a spoiler for an upcoming Alita movie).
She challenges the champion for a fight because of martial artist pride or something, builds a team, and fights the champion in an epic character-defining fight. Another hint to Nova in that he made the champion better with brain altering nano-tech.


After this Alita becomes a hunter-warrior again and crazy stuff happens because of Zappan and his revenge. I can expand on this if you want, but basically a huge fight happens, Alita is forced to work for Zalem to track Nova down and bring him back to Zalem, she meets a bunch of cool people (including a new actually interesting boyfriend), and meets Nova in his stronghold somewhere. Here the story branches into two. The writer became deathly ill at this point and created an ending for the story in case he died. There is a continuation of the story if you ignore the last couple of chapters in the original manga (for anybody reading, after Alita gets blown up by the kid robot, switch to the next manga).


This is basically what happens in the first manga series. The next one is way too complicated to explain in short. I do recommend reading it because it's awesome and the fights become better and grander.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
