Summary of the story
In the year 2563, three centuries after Earth was ravaged by a catastrophic conflict known as "The Fall", the esteemed scientist Dr. Dyson Ido made a remarkable discovery while scavenging for parts in the vast scrapyard of Iron City. He stumbled upon a disembodied female cyborg with an intact human brain, which he then attached to a new cyborg body. In honor of his deceased daughter, he named her "Alita". However, Alita awoke with no recollection of her past. She quickly befriended a young man named Hugo, who aspired to live in the prosperous sky city of Zalem. Alita also encountered Dr. Chiren, Ido's estranged ex-wife.
Hugo introduced Alita to Motorball, a sport similar to Rollerball that was played by cyborg gladiators. Unbeknownst to Alita, Hugo was secretly stealing parts from other cyborgs for Vector, the owner of the Motorball tournament and the de facto ruler of Iron City's governing authority. One fateful night, Alita followed Ido and they were ambushed by a gang of cyborg serial killers led by Grewishka. Ido was injured, and Alita instinctively fought back using "Panzer-Kunst", a lost combat art for machine bodies. She killed two of the cyborgs and damaged Grewishka, who retreated.
Ido then revealed that he was a Hunter-Warrior, a bounty hunter hired by the Factory. Grewishka sought the assistance of Dr. Chiren, who was working for Vector. Despite Alita's belief that fighting would help her regain her memories, Ido discouraged her from becoming a Hunter-Warrior. Alita later discovered a highly advanced cyborg body in a crashed spaceship outside the city. However, Ido refused to install Alita in it upon realizing that it belonged to a Berserker, the deadly shock troops of the enemy nation United Republic of Mars (URM) from the Fall, of which Alita was once a member.
