Major characters
Gally / Alita (ガリィ garī) - Battle Angel Alita's protagonist. A female cyborg found in a junk pile, she has no memory of who she was before, except for her instinctual knowledge of Panzer Kunst, a legendary art created specifically for humanoid cyborgs, and considered the most deadly of all. Extremely powerful, yet emotionally fragile, Alita's quest to reclaim her identity takes her through a great deal of both pain and joy.
Daisuke Ido (イド・ダイスケ Ido Daisuke) - Ido is a doctor of the Scrapyard who finds and restores Alita. He is also a bounty hunter, and is particularly proud of his success despite a human body and being armed with only a rocket hammer. It is revealed that the symbol on his forehead signifies a citizen of Tiphares. Upon learning that another man in the Scrapyard possesses the symbol, he is surprised that he is not the only one exiled from Tiphares, and that another former citizen could and would choose to survive there. This former citizen, Desty Nova, reveals to him the secret of Tiphares. This causes Ido intense psychological strain, and he chooses to erase his memory rather than having to come to terms with it.
Desty Nova (ディスティ・ノヴァ disuti nova) - A former citizen of Tiphares who has used his extensive scientific knowledge to save Makaku and Jashugan, as well as resurrect Ido and Alita from states that would normally be classified as 'dead,' even in this world where cyborgs are commonplace. He has fled Tiphares to obtain the freedom necessary to experiment with live humans, a component he deems necessary in his research of karma and psychological capacity. Although he is generally villainous in Battle Angel Alita, he exists as much more of a neutral, ambiguous figure in Last Order. A dream sequence shows that had his situation been different, he could have easily been a loving, protective father figure for Alita. He has injected himself with nanomachines that can repair dismemberment and give him pseudo-immortality. He possesses knowledge of the secret of Tiphares, one that could drive its citizens mad if released.
Kaos (ケイオス keiosu) - Desty Nova's son and a popular late-night radio host. He is extremely fragile. He only sees at infrared wavelengths and hears and speaks at radio wavelengths. Those that see him in person must use special transceivers for communication. Kaos is an expert of psychometry, a unique talent to read the memories of inanimate objects. He can channel the memories of a katana to learn sword skills and the memories of a computer to hack it. He and his team of molemen dig up artifacts from the bygone era, and he uses the memories contained in these artifacts as the basis for his radio show.
The manga was first published in Shueisha's Business Jump magazine. It was then serialized from 1990 to 1995 in 9 tankoubons. In the US, Viz originally released the story in a 25 page comic book, it then followed the same volume format as its Japanese counterpart.
