Alita: Battle Angel is a 2019 Dystopian Cyberpunk Science Fiction film and a Live-Action Adaptation of the Yukito Kishiro manga Battle Angel Alita, directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced and co-written by James Cameron.The film is set in the year 2563, over 300 years after a catastrophic war known as "The Fall" has left Earth devastated. While scouting the junkyard metropolis of Iron City beneath the sky city of Zalem, cybernetic scientist Dr. Dyson Ido discovers a disembodied female cyborg with a fully intact human brain. Ido rebuilds the cyborg, who does not have any recollections of her past, and names her "Alita" after his deceased daughter.The cast includes Rosa Salazar as Alita, Christoph Waltz as Dr. Dyson Ido, Ed Skrein as Zapan, Mahershala Ali as Vector, Jennifer Connelly as Chiren, Keean Johnson as Hugo, Eiza González as Nyssiana, Lana Condor as Koyomi K., Jackie Earle Haley as Grewishka, Rick Yune as Master Clive Lee, Michelle Rodriguez as Gelda (uncredited) and Edward Norton as Nova (uncredited).The film was released in the UK on February 6th, in most other countries on February 14th, and released in China and Japan on February 22, 2019 by 20th Century Fox. It has the distinction of being Fox's last released film as an independent studio and distributor before Disney finished acquiring its assets a little over a month after its release, as well as the first film produced by Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment company since Avatar. It was also Disney's first 3D Blu-ray release in North America since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, though the 3D disc was exclusive to the 4K release.While there was uncertainty about a sequel happening for a couple of years especially after the Disney merger, producer Jon Landau and James Cameron eventually confirmed that it is in development.The film has a character sheet.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Trailer 3, Trailer 4.

Later, during her assault on the Factory, one of the Centurions is taken out when she slips between its legs and slices it in the "pelvic region" with the newly-plasma-coated Damascus Blade.

Age Lift: Christoph Waltz's Ido is considerably older than his manga counterpart. Alita and Yugo as well are much older than in the manga. In the original, Alita's story begins with her looking and acting around 15, and Yugo looks similar. In the movie, they are both between 18 and 20 Koyomi was just a baby in the arcs the movie adapts; she's a teenager here, making her basically a different character with the same name.

The War Has Just Begun: After making sense of her memories as a soldier of the United Republics of Mars (URM), learning about the dark side of Iron City, gaining a URM combat cyborg body and watching Chiren and Hugo die, Alita commences a personal mission to terminate Nova for his crimes. The end of the movie shows that she has accomplished the first step by becoming the Motorball champion who will win the ultimate prize — access to Zalem.

Title Drop: One of the very last lines, no less. The Motorball announcer introduces "the Battle Angel herself, Alita!" It's somewhat established in the first Motorball massacre: "Looks like the fans have themselves a new underdog darling, with the face of an angel and a body built for battle!"

Never Trust a Trailer
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: Some parts of Alita's flashbacks from her previous life are used in ads, but without the context that they're "flashbacks" gives the impression they're part of the film's climax. Also, some ads really play up the motorball sequences, making Alita seem like some weird sports movie, as opposed to a sci-fi action thriller. Alita's poster outfit combines her jumpsuit with the bloody war paint from her second battle with Grewishka. She never wore the two together.

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Ido is initially convinced that giving Alita the URM Berserker body will make her a danger for everyone. Then he is proven wrong after being forced to transfer her on it since her previous body got cut to pieces by Grewishka, as Alita is still the same inside, only now she's much more powerful.

Wrong Genre Savvy
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_20a14df0
comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: Alita believes that she is in an idealistic cyberpunk setting where street warriors look after one another and will gladly band together against a common enemy. Not only do the Hunter-Warriors not give a crap about each other, but they are also out only for the money. Alita's rousing speech falls on deaf ears because the "common enemy" that she is asking everyone to fight has no bounty on him, thus nothing to be gained from killing. The only person to intervene in the fight with Grewishka does so out of pure disgust for dog killers, rather than any sympathy for Alita's cause. Worse yet, some of the Hunter-Warriors have absolutely no problem moonlighting as assassins to kill Alita.

Adaptational Villainy: In the manga, the Hunter-Warriors at the bar initially butted heads with Alita but, with the exception of Zapan, eventually befriended her. In the movie with the exception of McTeague, they instead accept to work for Vector alongside a couple of wanted criminals, and they try to kill Alita at the Motorball Circuit.

Adaptation Expansion: In the manga and OVA, Tanji was an accomplice of Hugo who barely got named. In the movie he's given much more characterization as a close friend of Hugo who grows increasingly jealous of his relationship with Alita, even though in the end he stays loyal to Hugo at the cost of his own life. He's also a bit of a Composite Character: he's got dark skin and curly hair like Van, Hugo's other accomplice in the manga.

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Desty Nova, one of the most iconic characters of the franchise and its Deuteragonist, only appears as a cameo in the first four volumes covered by the movie, and isn't properly introduced into the story until these events are actually concluded. Naturally, he's nowhere to be seen in the trailers. The part is not even credited despite being portrayed by Edward Norton in his about 30 seconds of screen time, and he only ever speaks through other characters.

Mythology Gag
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Alita's line of "I will not stand by in the presence of evil." is taken word-for-word from the first edition translation of the manga, specifically when she kills Peshkabz. Ido's dad "I don't want blood on your hands", as everyone who've read the manga knows that she already has plenty. Hugo's motorcycle has the same design as one Alita briefly uses in the manga during her time as a Tuned. Numerous Motorball players from the manga, such as Ajakutty and Zafar "Crimson Wind" Takie, get short references during clips of motorball races prior to Alita's debut on the track. Zapan's forehead shows a faint hook-shaped scar in the approximate location where he wore the Blue Öyster Cult logo in the manga.

Blood Sport: Motorball, which is basically Rollerball on steroids, with competitors weaponizing their cyborg bodies to better tear each other apart. The corrupt owner of the games (Vector) turns a blind eye to such things as long as people keep watching for the thrills, only intervening against such practices when it suits him (such as having the previous owner of the Grind Cutters dismembered to give them to Grewishka). Needless to say, death isn't out of the ordinary in that sport.

Ragnarök Proofing
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_3bce9346
comment
Ragnarök Proofing: The derelict Martian spaceship is 300 years old. Despite this, the main deck still has energy and is partly functional, allowing Alita to open a secret storage room and retrieve the Berserker body. The Berserker itself, too: it appears no maintenance was needed all these years for it to still work, good as new, once Alita is connected to it. (Might be justified by the field in which it was found, which could be some kind of stasis, and/or by its own nanomachines doing self-repair.)

Noodle Incident
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_3c0a4666
comment
In the movie, Ido and Chiren were exiled from Zalem for refusal to abandon their disabled daughter, whereas in the manga Ido was literally cast out through the Dust Chamber for some unmentioned transgression (apparently, precisely for being a Blood Knight, in conjunction with a genetic predisposition to crime). He also seemed to be a purely medical doctor, as he learned to work on cyborgs only while in Scrapyard, but looks to be already a full-fledged cyberphysician around his exile in the film. Furthermore, in the manga, all Zalemites are sterile and incapable of biological procreation.

Curb-Stomp Battle: Let's just say that, once Alita get her Berserker body, she becomes unstoppable: As deadly and dangerous as they are, the assassins sent to take down Alita pretty much get their asses handed to them in a short amount of time. Alita's assault on the Factory, as she makes short work of the Centurions. Alita and Grewishka's final fight is this, as Alita takes out Grewishka with a few slashes before slicing him in half.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Alita walks into the Hunter-Warrior bar and gives them a Rousing Speech to get them to help her in her cause. Since she's been a Hunter-Warrior for half an hour, with no kills or captures to her name, she utterly fails.note This scene has a more depressing take in the original manga, where it is Ido who makes the request, and despite everyone knowingly calling him "Doc", the result is the same.

Who Needs Their Whole Body?: In her second fight with Grewishka, Alita's first body literally falls apart on her because it was never designed to be a combat unit, reducing her to just a torso and one arm. Grewishka proceeds to taunt her, but she still manages to continue fighting by balancing herself on one hand to catapult herself up and jab him through the eye.

Le Parkour: Alita often uses flashy moves during battles and to get around using any part of the enviroment that comes in hand. Of course, having an advanced cybernetic body is a major help for all those jumps and cat leaps. During a chase scene, Hugo shows surprising dexterity in escaping Zapan by leaping on top of shop stalls and using walls and pillars as jumping-off points to avoid crowds of people.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Hugo is a teen of 15 at most in the manga, kinda scrawny and with a boyish face; here, he's played by Keean Johnson who's considerably more built and has a certain '90s heartthrob look to him, not too dissimilar from the likes of Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Zapan, who was an average, if somewhat ugly cyborg, also goes through this, being played by Ed Skrein here. Ido's actually quite awkward-looking in the manga, with the longish face, large bulbous nose, bushy eyebrows and the hairstyle essentially stolen from one Egon Spengler. In the movie he's played by the much more conventionally handsome (if older) Christoph Waltz.

The Unreveal: We never see how Alita wound up as an amnesiac disembodied head and torso — her last flashback shows her fighting on one of Zalem's supply pipes, though she evades getting shredded by the defensive ring. The fate of Alita's Berserker body is unknown, though as she wreaths the Damascus Blade in plasma while pointing it at Zalem it's possible that she either transformed it to resemble the manga's Motorball body or that she's just wearing additional armor over it, like she did with her previous body.

Adaptation Distillation
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_5a40d6a
comment
Adaptation Distillation: The film compresses many distinct, consecutive arcs from the manga and the OAV and adapts them into parallel storylines that intersect each other for efficiency. Motorball in particular becomes the connecting thread around which most of these arcs revolve: Like in the OAV, Alita meets Hugo much earlier, and he introduces her to Motorball. Although Alita registers as a Hunter-Warrior, she doesn't really pursue this role, and instead chooses to participate in Motorball to help Hugo win enough credits to travel to Zalem. At first, Ido tells Alita not to concern herself with Motorball, but after she acquires the Berserker body, he's glad to help getting her career started. In the manga, he's aghast at the thought of her taking part in such a brutish, deadly sport, and joins Jashuugan's pit crew specifically to defeat her and force her to come home. In the manga, Hugo's death drives Alita into depression; she runs away from home and joins a Motorball team to drown out her despair. In the film, she had already tried out for the sport by then, but we still get a Time Skip epilogue in which she appears in her Motorball body (as opposed to the Berserker) and Ido is nowhere to be seen. The Vector and Grewishka arcs were combined, with Grewishka working for and being outfitted by Vector rather than being unrelated foes like in the Manga. This brings Vector in much earlier in the story and places him in a central role from the beginning rather than episodic villains they were originally. Chiren, a character originally created for the OAV, is included here and given an even more expanded backstory with Ido.

Lost Technology: The first thing viewers are told about exactly how Alita is special is that the power source that serves as her heart utilizes incredibly advanced technology that was lost in the ravages of the Great War. It seems that this applies to all military technology the URM deployed back then. Ido explicitly warns Alita that he can't repair any of it because he simply doesn't know how (then it turns out that technology can self-repair). Unsurprisingly, once she acquires her Martian Berserker body and the Damascus Blade, everyone who attempts to oppose her ends up dead in hilariously short order.

Mid-Season Upgrade: The Berserker body, used by Alita after Grewishka shreds her original body. Being Imported Alien Phlebotinum, it's actually just about the best that can be obtained in Iron City. Possibly on Earth. Grewishka is already a walking tank in his introduction, but Alita's combat training makes her far deadlier than you'd expect and he is forced to retreat. When he confronts her again he is even heavier armored and upgraded with razor cutters, managing to No-Sell the same attack that previously took off an arm. In their final encounter, with her Berserker body she in turn was able to no-sell the no-sell.

The facts that he reused a cyborg body that was conceived for his daughter, and even gave the same name to the amnesiac, further hammer the point. Even Alita realizes this, leading to a You're Not My Father moment when she's fed up with his over-protectiveness. In the end, Ido does come to understand that Alita is her own person and nowhere close to a fragile child, and he starts providing help in some of her dangerous endeavors, even though he still disapproves.

Fantasy Gun Control
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_6bcfbc7e
comment
Fantasy Gun Control: Not stated as explicitly as in the manga, where it was established from the start that possession of a firearm and aircraft are the only capital crimes enforced by the Factory, but still followed in practice, as there is no gun to see in the whole movie. Even Vector's bodyguards only carry stun batons, and the closest thing to a projectile weapon are Kinuba's (and later Grewishka's) grind cutters — which actually are ainvoked Game-Breaker in motorball exactly for that reason. There's also the mortar-like cannon that one of the enemy Motorballers attacks Alita with during the game, but considering he's both a wanted criminal and was augmented by Vector's crew specifically to assassinate her (we even see the "Factory Team" assemble around a huge gun at the locker room) it's pretty clear that Vector is once again treating Factory Law like an afterthought.

Meaningful Name: Subverted on a Meta level with the Kansas bar — while the Scrapyard in the manga was the remains of the old Kansas City, in the adaptation the Iron City was moved to Central America, breaking the connection. Vector is often used as a proxy by Nova, making him a form of "carrier" — that is, a vector — for Nova's personality.

Limb-Sensation Fascination: At the beginning, Alita wakes up at Doc Ido's home and finds out (with delight) that she has been given a cybernetic body (she was only a torso and head in the dump beneath Zalem a couple hours/days before), and progressively discovers its possibilities, from walking and touching things all the way to performing Panzer Kunst martial arts. She's similarly delighted and experimentative once she's given the URM berserker body after the previous cybernetic one got cut to pieces.

Adaptational Badass
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_736d791f
comment
Adaptational Badass: Downplayed with Alita herself; in the manga, her first fight with Makaku went catastrophically, costing her her original body before being saved by Ido, whereas this time round she was effectively winning against Grewishka, costing him a limb and forcing his retreat, and her loss was shifted into their second fight. Similarly, her barfight at the Kansas bar only happened after she acquired the berserker body and subsequent power up in the manga, whereas here her civilian body is up to the job. However, in both of these fights she had some help. On a related note, the Damascus Blade in the manga was a very expensive well-made weapon, but nevertheless one made in the Scrapyard using the technology of the time. The film version is a unique pre-fall artefact made using lost technology, making it at least 300 years old, and is so formidable a weapon that Zapan considers "Keeper of the Damascus Blade" a Badass Boast.

Grewishka is already a walking tank in his introduction, but Alita's combat training makes her far deadlier than you'd expect and he is forced to retreat. When he confronts her again he is even heavier armored and upgraded with razor cutters, managing to No-Sell the same attack that previously took off an arm. In their final encounter, with her Berserker body she in turn was able to no-sell the no-sell.

Only in It for the Money: Even knowing about his crimes, none of the other Hunter-Warriors can be bothered to care about Grewishka once Vector cancels his bounty, as they wouldn't be paid for stopping him.

comment
Didn't Think This Through: Alita offers to sell her core by offering Hugo her still-beating heart, as she suggest that they sell it in order to get enough money to get to Zalem, where she thinks she could get a cheaper alternative. She doesn't seem to realize that doing this would kill her. Though given all the cyborg technology and what happens to Hugo later, she could have had Ido rig up a working substitute until she got to Zalem. What she's not thinking through is that she's offering a priceless piece of technology to someone she really doesn't know all that well (and who's secretly involved in forcibly stripping cyborgs like Alita for black market parts). Hugo is noticeably shaken by this (not only because she's literally offering him her heart) and warns her against such selflessness because others will exploit it.

 Alita: Battle Angel / int_9eb11fac

Weak, but Skilled: Alita's initial body is more ornamental than anything else. While she may have enhanced strength compared to unaltered humans, unlike many other cyborgs she doesn't have any built-in weapons and is very human-like in shape. She is a former elite soldier with an advanced power core but she relies exclusively on martial arts in a particularly small and lightweight body. It's even said specifically that she shouldn't have been able to harm the mountain-sized Grewishka. When she gets the nano-tech berserker body, she is still smaller than everyone else but becomes the most advanced cyborg in the city.

We Can Rebuild Him
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_9f9540ae
comment
We Can Rebuild Him: Dr. Dyson Ido makes cyborgs out of people who lost limbs or their entire body using various kinds of cybernetics but not quite managing to make a living off of it (a lot of his income comes from bounty hunting). In one of the very first scenes of the film he fits a factory worker who lost his arm in an accident with a prosthetic limb, with only a pack of oranges and a promise to pay when the man receives a bonus for his efforts. From his threat to discontinue free repairs during the barfight in the Kansas, it's evident that he rarely gets paid even by the somewhat affluent Hunter-Warriors. He also rebuilds Alita twice — first after finding her chest and head in the trash dumped by Zalem, giving her the robotic body he intended for his deceased daughter; then after that body is cut to pieces by Grewishka, giving her the URM-made Berserker body. After Hugo is framed by Zapan and Alita cuts off his head to appease the Centurions, Ido gives him a new cyborg body as well.

Karma Houdini: The rest of Hugo's ripper crew gets away completely scot-free. Even if the crew falls apart due to the loss of two leading members, the black market for stolen parts is so lucrative that they definitely won't have a problem finding more work anyway.

Dramatic Irony: Alita offers to give Hugo her heart to sell so he can get to Zalem. Unknown to her, the ruler of Zalem wants her heart for its Lost Technology and Hugo is working for one of his minions stripping cyborgs for their technology. Fortunately Hugo has fallen in love with Alita and doesn't take the opportunity offered (though he's also in ignorance of just how important his girlfriend's heart is).

In the manga she was a member of the Panzer Kunst-practicing organization Grünthal, which was acting as more-or-less pure mercenary outfit, while in the movie she's a member of the Berserkers — an elite unit of the regular Martian military, equipped with powerful nanomachine bodies and trained in Panzer Kunst. This is probably because in a post-9/11 world, being a soldier who fought on the other side for understandable reasons is a much more sympathetic backstory than being the most notorious and destructive terrorist in history.

Ido's reasoning for becoming a hunter-warrior is expanded in the film. In the manga he simply vents his frustrations and also gets a nice income to add to his medical fees. In the film he wants to avenge his murdered daughter. He has also deliberately removed the distinctive mark of all citizens of Zalem from his forehead.

And Show It to You: At one point, Alita literally offers Hugo her still-beating heart, seemingly without any ill effects (though she only removes it from her chest cavity without disconnecting it from her systems — it's still attached to her by tubes serving as "blood" vessels). It Makes Sense in Context, as she suggest that they sell it in order to get enough money to get to Zalem, where she thinks she could get a cheaper alternative. Hugo is understandably befuddled.

Adaptational Backstory Change
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_ba46585b
comment
Adaptational Backstory Change: Alita's own backstory is heavily altered from what was revealed in the original manga and Last Order: In the manga she was a member of the Panzer Kunst-practicing organization Grünthal, which was acting as more-or-less pure mercenary outfit, while in the movie she's a member of the Berserkers — an elite unit of the regular Martian military, equipped with powerful nanomachine bodies and trained in Panzer Kunst. This is probably because in a post-9/11 world, being a soldier who fought on the other side for understandable reasons is a much more sympathetic backstory than being the most notorious and destructive terrorist in history. As revealed in the Last Order, during the war Mars was a poor backwater colony and not vested in the Terraforming Wars as such, main sides being the superpowers of Jupiter and the Venus-Earth alliance, while in the movie Mars was a major side in the war. The reason for attack was changed from Grünthal being hired by the Jovians to clandestinely manipulate the orbital supercomputer Melchizedek, forcing it to attack its ally Venus to break the alliance between the two powers, to an open and direct attack on Zalem with assassinating Nova as a main goal. The whole operation (code-named Maulwurf) almost succeeded in the manga, if not for a Suicidal Overconfidence on Alita's part, leading to her capture and the reveal of collusion between Jovians and Grünthal — after which she is subjected to orbital drop as a means of execution. In the film the attack apparently fails outright (we never find out how close her mission came to succeeding, especially with Nova explicitly boasting of his immortality), and Alita's fate is glossed over. In the manga, the Berserker Body was a piece of advanced Venusian technology comprised of biomechanical nanites called Berserker Cells that Ido happened to have stored, whereas in the movie it's Martian, Alita recovers it from a downed spaceship, and it belongs to the same Martian forces she used to be a part of. The war itself was moved a whole century back in time: in the manga, Terraforming Wars happened about two hundreds years ago, while in the film the Great War was three centuries away. Unlike Makaku in the manga and Grewcica in the OVA — who are deranged brain-eating cannibals — Grewishka is bowdlerized into a failed Motorball player turned serial killer. Hugo's backstory is changed to him being a Motorball fan, and he is the one who introduces Alita to the sport and teaches her how to play. His main occupation is also changed from a criminal who steals spines and occasionally brains to "just" dismantling cyborg parts for the black market. His connection with Vector remains, only this time, Vector is his main customer. As the whole Zapan's story is heavily modified, Alita's iconic Damascus Blade, which in the original was initially just a feature of her Motorball Body, was changed into a trophy she obtained from defeating Zapan. Ido's reasoning for becoming a hunter-warrior is expanded in the film. In the manga he simply vents his frustrations and also gets a nice income to add to his medical fees. In the film he wants to avenge his murdered daughter. He has also deliberately removed the distinctive mark of all citizens of Zalem from his forehead. The reasoning for Ido choosing Alita's name is in memory of his and Chiren's murdered daughter (instead of his dead cat). While in the OAV, Chiren and Ido are only hinted to have had a relationship in the past, here, they were parents to a murdered daughter and have since grown apart. Given that Ido removed his chip, and we actually see Chiren's brain, it seems that Zalem citizens don't have their brains uploaded into biochips once they reach adulthood, as was the case in the original manga (though this was also inconsistent in the manga). In the manga, Desty Nova is a Tipharian mad scientist exiled to the surface for his sadistic experiments, and is the age he looks: late forties to early fifties. In the movie, he's over three hundred years old — killing him having been the reason the Martian army attacked Earth during the war — and is quite comfortable up in Zalem, apparently also getting some elements of Bigott Eisenburg from the TUNED arc. In the manga, Vector is a Factory supervisor, well-connected and one of the top dogs in the Scrapyard, but very obviously under the heel of Zalem/Tiphares. In the movie, his position in the Factory makes him untouchable, able to twist the law to his own purposes, and also basically owns Motorball outright. He seems to be answerable directly to, and only to, Nova. In the movie, Ido and Chiren were exiled from Zalem for refusal to abandon their disabled daughter, whereas in the manga Ido was literally cast out through the Dust Chamber for some unmentioned transgression (apparently, precisely for being a Blood Knight, in conjunction with a genetic predisposition to crime). He also seemed to be a purely medical doctor, as he learned to work on cyborgs only while in Scrapyard, but looks to be already a full-fledged cyberphysician around his exile in the film. Furthermore, in the manga, all Zalemites are sterile and incapable of biological procreation.

Mutually Assured Destruction: Part of the film's backstory, and the reason why Earth (and presumably also Mars) is a crapsack world: At the climax of the Fall, Earth and Mars effectively destroyed each other, with the URM deploying an unknown virus against Earth, while the Earth-led Colonial Empire released reverse-terraforming nanites on Mars as well as hit it with high-energy projectiles. The virus was more than 70 percent fatal and highly contagious, resulting in a massive emergency quarantine being enacted by the various floating cities on Earth (explaining why Zalem is effectively cut off from Iron City). Mars, in turn, suffered a mass extinction from the reverse-terraforming, with the planet rendered mostly uninhabitable.

 Alita: Battle Angel / int_c75df49a

Shout-Out: Grewishka makes several references to Freddy Krueger. He is played by Jackie Earle Haley, who played Freddy in the Remake. His right hand has claws on it. In his second fight with Alita, he shouts "Welcome to my world!" The Lighter and Softer depiction of Iron City in the daytime — bright cheerful sunlight and colorful throngs of happy people — owes a lot to the depiction of post-apocalyptic Seattle in Dark Angel, which was essentially Cameron's first attempt at adapting Battle Angel Alita: "The thing I don't get is why they call it a depression. I mean, everybody's broke, but they aren't really all that depressed. Life goes on." The change from Daisuke to Dyson may be in reference to Miles Bennett Dyson, considering that James Cameron is the co-writer of the script.

Defeat Equals Friendship: Alita tries to invoke this in the bounty hunter bar, challenging anyone to take her on on the condition that they help her take down Grewshika if she wins. It doesn't work, as the only bounty hunter willing to take on Grewshika when he turns up is McTeague, who sat out the entire Bar Brawl (and he only does it because Grewshika killed a dog in front of him). In fact the trope backfires with Zapan, who seeks revenge on Alita instead for being humiliated.

Imported Alien Phlebotinum: The Berserker body Alita uses later is head and shoulders above any cyborg body that could be produced on Earth,note Unless we talk of Desty Nova. and is found in the crashed spaceship. In the original manga it was developed by the République Vénus and ended on the Earth more or less by accident, while in the movie its origin was changed to Mars.

Race Lift
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_d7c3ba61
comment
Race Lift: Much like most live-action adaptations of anime and with Hollywood's reluctance to cast Asian actors in main roles, it was inevitable this was bound to happen to some of the characters. Around the time when Alita was living as Yoko, she had both an Asian first name and European last name,note though this later turned out to be a lie, and her real last name is much more ambiguous implying her to be of Eurasian descent. Here, she's played by the white Peruvian-American Rosa Salazar. However, Alita/Yoko/Gally was intentionally kept a Mukokuseki in the manga, with the generic appearance, Multi-Ethnic Name, and vague background that Mars Chronicle muddled even further despite ostensibly intending to clarify it. Kishiro specifically wanted her to be divorced from the conventional notions of race and ethnicity, and CGI-enhanced Salazar conveys this intention quite faithfully. Daisuke Ido, as evidenced by his name, is at least part-Japanese. Here, he's named Dyson Ido and is played by the white Austrian Christoph Waltz. Ironically, his appearance in the manga (tall, blond, big-nosed) is more in line with the caricatured images of Europeans common in the Japanese media. Subverted with Koyomi, who, like Daisuke, is Japanese, but is played by Vietnamese-American Lana Condor. She's still kept Asian, but she's changed to Southeast Asian as opposed to East Asian. In his very brief cameo, the originally dark-skinned blond Jashuugan is played by Jai Courtney, with red hair.

Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age: Justified and enforced. It is stated early on that firearms are outlawed in Iron City, so the local population has to get creative when it comes to inflicting violence. At one point in the movie, we do see one firearm user, and what a firearm it is! Unsurprisingly, "Exploder" is a criminal with a bounty on his head.

Continuity Cameo: Ajakutty (named) and an unnamed Motorballer with Armblessed's design appear during Alita's visit to the arena. Jashuugan also appears, but is dispatched mid-game and we later catch up with him at the pits. Murdock, here called McTeague, first appeared in the manga after the Motorball arc, but in the movie he's seen in the Kansas Bar and he's the only hunter-warrior to give a hand to the main characters against Grewishka.

Dub Name Change: Rather than being called "Tiphares" like in other English localizations, as in the Japanese original the floating space-elevator city is called "Zalem". Scrapyard is called Iron City, though this is more of a Spell My Name with an S or You Are the Translated Foreign Word, as both English names are just different translations of the city's name in Japanese — "Kuzutetsu", or, literally, "Scrap Iron".

Assassin Outclassin': In the second trailer, when Alita is determined to be a threat to the natural order, Zapan and Grewishka are sent by Vector to bring her in dead or alive — without much success. In the film proper, this happens differently and for a different reason, but the result is the same.

Chain Pain: While not a simple length of chain, the grind-cutters have elements of this and Combat Tentacles.

Alita is able to take Screw Head's chain and uses it to dump one of her foes into a trash compactor.

Artistic License – Geography
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_e9f517e1
comment
Artistic License – Geography: Averted Trope — in the manga, Scrapyard sits under the end of a Space Elevator, but is eventually revealed to be the former Kansas City. For a lot of reasons, Space Elevators most optimally should be placed at the equator. According to Robert Rodriguez, James Cameron moved Iron City to Latin America for exactly that reason. That also explains why all the standing architecture of the old world is Spanish Colonial, including the remains of a cathedral, and why there's a tropical rainforest right outside the city.

Unskilled, but Strong
 Alita: Battle Angel / int_f25b1ae6
comment
Unskilled, but Strong: Seems to be Grewishka's whole shtick. He towers over every other character in the film, and is built, both literally and figuratively, like a tank. In all three fights he has with Alita, he relies on heavy, crushing blows when she gets up close or the grind cutters when she moves out of contact range. Despite his clear size and strength advantage over virtually everyone, Alita is able to deal some real damage to him due to her Panzer-Kunst fighting skills. As Nova says early on: "It was not the power of the body that did this, it was the mind."

Battle Trophy: Alita takes Zapan's Damascus Blade after Zapan's hunting of Hugo, she had previously defeated Zapan before at the bar but merely kicked it back at him. This time, she really wanted to hurt him in the ego. Zapan may have gotten the Damascus Blade in a similar manner. In the bar fight, Alita taunted him about who he murdered to get such a fine weapon, Zapan was so noticeably quiet after that.

Suicidal Overconfidence

comment
The whole operation (code-named Maulwurf) almost succeeded in the manga, if not for a Suicidal Overconfidence on Alita's part, leading to her capture and the reveal of collusion between Jovians and Grünthal — after which she is subjected to orbital drop as a means of execution. In the film the attack apparently fails outright (we never find out how close her mission came to succeeding, especially with Nova explicitly boasting of his immortality), and Alita's fate is glossed over.
