Battle Angel Alita Deluxe Edition #1

In the grimy underbelly of Scrapyard, a mysterious cyborg girl named Alita awakens with no past—only the kindness of Dr. Ido, who gives her a new life. As rumors of a killer targeting female cyborgs spread, Alita grows suspicious of Ido’s late-night disappearances and the parts he brings home. When she finally follows him one night, the truth between them sparks a revelation that changes everything.

In "Fight 002: Fighting Instincts," Alita sets her mind on becoming a hunter-warrior like Ido, despite his clear objections. When she defies him and takes on her first mission—tracking down a dangerous endorphin junky cyborg and his crew—Ido must confront his own doubts and find a way to trust her.

In "Fight 003: What Has Value," Alita faces a brutal test of will when Makaku destroys her body and mocks her resolve. As she fights to survive, Ido arrives to protect her—only to be gravely wounded in the process.

In "Fight 004: Resurgents," Alita, rebuilt in a powerful berserker body long hidden by Ido, faces a new threat when Kinuba’s rival Makaku hijacks his form to settle a personal score. With Ido’s help, Alita ventures into the gritty underbelly of the city, seeking allies at the hunter-warrior bar Kansas—only to prove her strength by besting every fighter there in a single, stunning display. When Makaku finally appears, the stage is set for a clash of wills and weapons.

In "Fight 005: Trap at the Mouth of Hell," Alita faces off against Makaku in a brutal clash that ends with her emerging victorious—but not before he escapes with Koyomi, vanishing into the labyrinthine sewers beneath the city. With Ido incapacitated, only Alita and Fang stand ready to pursue him, leading to a tense split: Fang takes Koyomi to safety while Alita presses on into the dark, dangerous depths to confront Makaku alone.

In "Fight 006: Battle Angel," Alita faces off against Makaku in a brutal clash that tests her growing mastery of her new body’s capabilities. As Makaku exploits his intimate knowledge of the underground sewers, Alita counters with unexpected tactics, turning the tide in a fight that’s as much about instinct as it is about strength.

In "Fight 008: The Boy Who Saw Blue Sky," Yugo stumbles upon Alita unconscious in a derelict factory, unaware she’s there to capture the fugitive chemist Megil—whom she’d already subdued before being knocked out. As they navigate the crumbling battle zone together, Yugo shares his dreams of reaching Zalem while Alita searches for clues, each hiding truths that could unravel their fragile trust.

In "Fight 009: Iron Maiden," Alita's growing feelings for Yugo clash with his dangerous sideline of stealing illegal spines, putting him in deeper danger. When Zapan, seeking revenge for his public humiliation, devises a cruel test, Alita is forced to choose between her duty as a hunter-warrior and the man she cares about—no matter the cost.

In "Fight 010: Yugo on the Run," Alita tracks down Yugo after learning of his peril, only to find him already hunted and gravely wounded by the same warrior who killed his brother. With time running out, she makes a desperate move—racing him to the factory, where Zapan and the Netman await to capture her. The tension is razor-thin as Alita’s quick thinking turns the tide in a moment that could change everything.

In "Fight 011: Guilty Dreams," Jo and Yugo face a dangerous twist when their journey to Zalem ends in betrayal at Vector’s. With Yugo newly awakened as a cyborg, the pair must dodge Zarik’s brutal pursuit—only to discover the truth behind the promise that brought them there.
