Blame! (ブラム Buramu!) is a 10-volume cyberpunk Seinen Manga.The story follows Killy, a silent loner possessing an incredibly powerful gun known as a Graviton Beam Emitter, as he wanders an immeasurably vast technological world known as "The City". The City is inhabited by scattered human and transhuman tribes, as well as hostile cyborgs known as Silicon Creatures.Killy's primary goal is to recover the Net Terminal Genes, an extremely rare genetic marker that allows humans to access the Net Sphere, and gain control of The City's network. Doing so would allow him to halt the unhindered, chaotic expansion of The City, as well as stop the murderous horde known as The Safeguard from destroying what remains of humanity... or more correctly all humans who lack Net Terminal Genes (which is essentially all humans).This story has a prequel, NOiSE, and a followup anthology called Blame Academy! And So On containing two short sequel chapters: Net Sphere Engineer and Blame!2; as well as a three chapter spin off manga, featuring all the characters of Blame! in...high school? That's right Blame! Academy — Adventure-student Killy in the Cyber school quest! Tsutomu Nihei is obviously even more insane than we gave him credit for.A short six episode Web-Anime series adaptation was created by Group TAC in 2003. The manga received another anime adaptation in the form of a cel-shaded CGI film called Blame produced by Polygon Pictures (who also adapted Nihei's Knights of Sidonia) and has been licenced by Netflix. You can watch the first trailer here and the second here. The film was released in Japan and worldwide via Netflix on May 20, 2017.

Only Six Faces: While non-human characters have a great variety of facial features, humans have a much more limited repertoire. This is why Blame ver. 0.11, the 2003 series of animated shorts, can justify saying that the girl with the dog from the beginning of the manga is Cibo in some kind of time loop — they look exactly the same.

Order Versus Chaos
 Blame (Manga) / int_1a237409
comment
Order Versus Chaos: In NOiSE, the main character is a cop investigating a cult who worship the power of chaos who are kidnapping children to use for human sacrifices in their bizarre Magitek rituals. When they kill her, she is resurrected by the Safeguard, protectors of order, but they turn out to be a pack of fascists who plan on disenfranchising or killing everybody who can't afford network implants and brainwashing the ones who do. Then in Blame!, we see the aftermath of this; the cult succeeded in throwing the world into chaos, but since they're so poorly organized their descendants, the Silicon Creatures, don't amount to much more than a bunch of roving cyber-barbarians. The Safeguard doesn't fare much better, as their directives become so corrupted that they essentially believe that everything that's not them must be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Blame! Academy chapter 2 has fun with this when a pair of Silicon Life Forms appear, and ask Killy if he remembers them. Cibo nonchalantly identifies them from the second half of Blame! volume 1 and concludes that they must be out for revenge, but it turns out they're just mad because all the characters shown in chapter 1 appeared except them.

Crapsack World: The City grew in a chaotic and insecure manner, leading to loss of control. The Safeguards now attempting to destroy anyone without the Net Terminal Gene (which, in the timeframe of the story, is essentially all of humanity) due to their goals being corrupted is the icing on top of the cake.

Earth That Was: As the ending of NOiSE shows, the Earth is completely engulfed by The City's automated construction system. By the time Blame! takes place, nobody even remembers that there was an Earth. One chapter towards the end implies that the machinery has swallowed most, if not all, of the Solar System when Killy encounters a chamber that has a diameter matching that of Jupiter.

Wave-Motion Gun: This is Killy's handgun the Graviton Beam Emitter. A pistol so powerful it can carve a four meter diameter shaft through 55km of steel. It is so overpowered that there are actually a couple of situations where it's a bad idea for Killy to use it, but most of the time he just blasts away, heedless of how much damage to the artificial environment he's causing. Thankfully, most of the MegaStructure is uninhabited.

Gratuitous English: Common fan speculation is that the series title is a misspelling of the English onomatopoeia for gun-fire, "BLAM!". The Author has yet to comment on this, but the title is written in katakana as "ブラム (buramu)", when "blame" would be more accurately transliterated as "ブレム (buremu)" or "ブレイム (bureimu)".

Unnecessarily Large Interior
 Blame (Manga) / int_3a6efd9d
comment
Unnecessarily Large Interior: At least one a chapter. Blame! is set in an endless series of Unnecessarily Large Interiors. One of the rooms Killy walks through is roughly the size of Jupiter, and judging from the ending of the prequel comic NOiSE where the Earth and Moon are enveloped by the machines, it's implied that this room is where Jupiter used to be. The artbook explains that The City itself extends out from the Sun to roughly Jupiter's orbit (~5 AU; roughly 750 million km), while "the world" extends to the edges of the system. In this verse, the planets, along with the Sun, have been absorbed for energy, Dyson Sphere-style. This is what happens when you let mindless nanomachines go rampant.

Power Gives You Wings: Slight subversion. Most wings seen in Blame! are black, but they do coincide with the character having a notable upgrade. Considering that most power upgrades coincide with being able to change your body shape, it's fairly reasonable that you would want to have wings in a superstructure with huge chasms of hundreds (or thousands) of kilometers.

No Transhumanism Allowed
 Blame (Manga) / int_4612ec70
comment
No Transhumanism Allowed: Completely and thoroughly inverted. Humans who haven't been altered in some way or another are completely extinct, and it is unlikely a normal person would be able to survive in The City. The MacGuffin itself is a result of averting this trope: only humans with a very ancient gene are allowed to access the "series of tubes" in this future. Attempting to log onto the Internet without said genes will result in an immediate permaban by the Safeguard. "Permaban" in this case means exploding into a mass of Safeguard Exterminators that kill every living thing in sight.

And in a dystopian cyber-punk post-apocalyptic wasteland, who better to count as an Eldritch Abomination than an ancient omniscient A.I.-like ruler who is essentially a god?

Motive Decay: The Silicon Life start out attempting to destroy all traces of the Net Terminal Genes and forever seal humanity from the Netsphere - but by the time Blame!2 takes place, the new generation of Synthetic Life are being hunted down and simply want to be left in peace. The Safeguard was originally set up to keep unauthorized users like Silicon Creatures from logging onto the netsphere and screwing things up by killing them. Now that people with the Net Terminal Gene that grants authorization are essentially extinct, they usually just kill everyone everywhere and hope that things will work out.

Transhuman: In its entirety, we do not see a single purely biological human. Everyone is heavily modified, be they cyborgs, human-descended androids, or gene-modded superhumans. The closest to "pure" human we get is Seu, and he's an eight-foot giant with enough enhancements to fight in hand-to-hand combat with advanced Silicon Life warriors, who has been reconstructed and had his personality restored from backup countless times. Most "normal" humans were exterminated by either the Silicon Creatures or the Safeguard, given the events of NOiSE, Blame!'s prequel.

In "Fort of Silicon Creatures", the red-suited female Silicon Creature is considered dangerous by her superiors for wanting to make peace with Killy.

Bizarrchitecture: Nihei's architecture is more improbable than bizarre most of the time. The amount of raw materials that would be needed to create most of the structures in Blame! is mind-boggling, and the City is at least the size of the solar system. Construction bots apparently beam stuff into existence; if availability of matter was of any relevance, the setting simply couldn't happen. The prequel manga NOiSE reveals that the City has grown upwards to the point that it has "captured" the planet's moon.

The Reveal: Turns out that Safeguard command has lost control of their own security protocols, and as a result they are unable to do anything about the Safeguard creatures that attack anyone who attempts to access the Netsphere without Net Terminal Genes. They are just as confused as the protagonists about the true scope of The City, and are only able to provide minimal support to Killy in hopes of discovering a human with Net Terminal Genes.

Grey-and-Gray Morality: Since everyone is technically human they do what humans do best, fight so that their faction can prosper at the expense of others. Who do you side with? The freedom-loving but utterly insane Silicon Life who want to maintain the chaotic decay of the City, and are willing to exterminate humans who have the Net Terminal Gene to prevent the Authority from regaining control? The Knight Templar Safeguard who will kill anyone to keep the City from decaying further than it already has, even though it is evidently hopeless? The inept bureaucrats of the Authority who want to reverse the decay of the Megastructure and employ the sometimes heroic, sometimes ruthless protagonist on a quest that has gone on for millennia without tangible results? Or the more human factions that struggle to get by in this crapsack Dyson sphere?

Scavenger World: almost everything that's still working is running on automatic. Killy gets by by finding equipment caches set up centuries in advance; the Electrofishers and tech-nomads have put their suits and guns together out of stuff they found. Partially averted by Cibo's people and Silicon Life, who are both developing new technology and rediscovering the secrets of the City, but tend to overestimate their own abilities.

BFG: Abundant, and frequently played with. The biggest and baddest guns are the Graviton Beam Emitters, of which Killy's tiny pistol seems to be the most advanced. More of a Wave Motion pistol. However, some unnamed characters are seen using BFG style weapons. GBEs have a range measured in dozens of Kilometers, no matter what is in their way. Killy's GBE is stated to have a range of 70 kilometers.

Forgot I Could Fly: Killy's ability to scan things with his eyes, among other things, got restored after he was hit with darts from a safeguard. It is indicated that he always had the ability when in an earlier chapter he asks some humans if they also see symbols in their vision but his memory damage prevented him from taking advantage of it as he didn't understand what he was seeing.

The Government: The Authority and The Safeguard. The former is a benevolent yet mostly impotent system that requires regular humans with a extremely rare genetic marker to tell them what to do, while the latter acts like an anti-virus system that happens to see all humans without said gene as viruses.

Guilt-Free Extermination War: The Silicon Life have been hunting humans since the dawn of the city, as they pose a threat to the established state of the Net Sphere. Humans fare no better: when they get a hold of the architects, they find no guilt in destroying entire hives, as told by Pcell in the sequel one shot. Neither seem to consider coexistence to be possible, even though the City is big enough to house both their civilizations. She seems to value human life, however, so there might be hope after all.

Take a Third Option
 Blame (Manga) / int_950bbfa7

Take a Third Option: This may be Cibo's motivation when she double registers using Seu's Net-Terminal Genes, and Sana-kan's motivation for advising Cibo against trusting the The Authority after Cibo fuses with the Level 9 and transcribes the Genes into herself, and then going on to be her bodyguard. This makes sense once you realize that, in the prequel (NOiSE), The Authority and the Safeguard were planning to disefranchise all humans without Net-Terminal Genes and install a fascist government of some sort. This would also explain The Authority's "new plan" that involved a 1st Level Exterminator trying to eat the Sphere.

Big Bad: While it initially appears that the Safeguard is the main antagonist of the series, it turns out that they aren't even malevolent. The Safeguard command lost control of the city's mechanisms and are responsible not only for Killy's appearance but provide him with whatever help they can. While there are certainly rotten people found within the City, there is no one single person responsible for any of it. In essence, the City itself, with its unchecked growth and rampant Safeguard creatures, is the only thing that can be considered the real threat.

A quadrillion seconds is about 317,000 years. In the film, Cibo mentions she's been waiting 17 million hours for someone to come and find her. That's almost 2 thousand years.

comment
Eldritch Location: The City, the superstructure that serves as the series' environment, is arguably this. It either defies the amount of materials actually available to build something at this scale, or the Earth's core was used up as well. If the latter is the case, gravity, oxygen levels, molecular friction, etc. would all have to be addressed. Those challenges don't even account for reaching another planet's gravitational pull. Some of the artwork implies the structure reached Jupiter. If that's true, the distance between Earth and the Sun is less than half the distance between Earth and Jupiter. Assuming it still rotates like the Earth, the Sun's destructive energy would have to be neutralized or the structure would tear itself apart.

comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Killy kills sentient silicon lifeforms on sight without even the slightest hint of hesitation or remose, even when they're completely non-hostile and harmless. Played to extreme measures by the Safeguard as a whole, who consider anyone without the Net Terminal Gene to be non-human and subject to immediate execution. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the Net Terminal Gene practically died out long ago, meaning nobody has it and effectively turning most of the Safeguard into Omnicidal Maniacs.

Not So Stoic: Though his expression never changes, Killy rips into the trader and the dock workers of the Bio-Electric Company when he realizes that he had unwittingly helped their operation to harvest organs from the Dry Men (but especially after noticing that the girl he had previously rescued was among the bodies). And though he may not mourn their passing, he does seemingly go out of his way to save his companions from harm. He has been seen grinning several times while causing total mayhem. The guy seems to get off on violence that has been cranked up.

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Basic Safeguard exterminators. In the movie the basic exterminators are considered very dangerous robots, that keep the human population completely terrified, while in the Manga they are in fact low-level Mooks.

Interquel: "Fort of Silicon Creatures" is a one-shot Blame! chapter packaged with the deluxe Blu-ray edition of The Movie, drawn by Nihei in his modern Aposimz art style. It's set during the last volume of the original Blame! manga when Killy was traveling with "Mori", the personality construct recorded on a backup device that Killy wore around his neck.

Cool Guns: Again, lots of these. Examples include: Killy's GBE. It's deceptively tiny and absurdly powerful. A group of nameless Red Shirts in the beggining are armed with assault rifles, one of which is well-detailed and another one fires bullets that leave watermelon-sized craters. The Electrofishers use Exterminator-killing spear guns that resemble lever-action rifles. Dhomochevsky's pistol fires different types of munitions. Killy at one point dual-wields a pistol and a shotgun as tall as he is.

The Safeguard was originally set up to keep unauthorized users like Silicon Creatures from logging onto the netsphere and screwing things up by killing them. Now that people with the Net Terminal Gene that grants authorization are essentially extinct, they usually just kill everyone everywhere and hope that things will work out.

Adaptational Wimp: While Zuru is much stronger in the movie, Electrofishers as a whole are much weaker. In the manga, they are introduced intervening in a fight, helping Killy out and two of them are more than a match for the exterminators he’s fighting. In the movie, Killy has to save them. Additionally, when Sanakan begins her extermination in the manga, she has to bring a lot more firepower to bear, including a Kaiju sized safeguard. Unfortunately, being more badass doesn’t mean much in the end; they end up in a far worse position than their movie counterparts.

Cloning Blues

comment
Cloning Blues: In one chapter, Killy and Cibo stumble across a machine that has been continually cloning the same woman for untold centuries. The worst part? the original woman — hooked up to the machine and completely incapacitated — has apparently been alive and conscious for all that time.

Evil Twin: A hairless, Safeguard-controlled copy of Killy appears in the final chapter and shoots the original in the head.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 Blame (Manga) / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In "Fort of Silicon Creatures", "Mori" transfers her mind into a new body that looks almost exactly like Cibo's, except for a beauty mark on her cheek. This may be justified if you assume that this type of female body is very commonly manufactured.

Ridiculously Human Robot: Killy, apparently. He needs to eat and sleep (at least at first), feels pain and doesn't show up as anything but human to doctors like Cibo who heal him, but he's revealed to be much more than that eventually.

comment
Cyberpunk: Has its roots here. Monolithic megacorporations, The Government inept or out to get you, anti-heroes, and transhumanism that creates as many problems as it solves, are all taken to such extremes that, like The Matrix, it becomes less like traditional cyberpunk. Post-post-cyberpunk, if you will. Perhaps Neo-Cyberpunk.

Pet the Dog: Killy indiscriminately destroys any Silicon Life he encounters, regardless of whether they're hostile to him or not. Until Blame!2, where he rescues a heavily injured SL from the Safeguard and takes her to safety.
