Makes me think of Battle Angel Alita
It is her. She went by No. 99 when competing in Motorball.
Rollerball, bitches!
So many cyberpunk stories try to have some violent and dangerous sport to represent the amorality of the world they’re set in. Battle Angel is one of the few that did it well.
Ido: “It’s a setup! They’re going to kill you!”
Alita: “Which ones?”
Ido: “All of them!”
There’s a lot more motorball in the manga. She has a full-on carreer in the sport.
Moterball, thank you. Read everything (Battle Angel & Last Order) translated years and years ago. Been thinking about collecting the Japanese versions.
I respect the American movie for actually letting us see her play. And it adapted the manga pretty well. Sadly, the original OVAs that introduced me to Battle Angel in the first place never got to that part. I always find myself hoping for an Anime reboot. I hear those are all the rage lately.
