Alita used to be a human until her brain was attached to a robot body, turning her into a cyborg. She, however, has no recollection of when and why this happened. Dr. Ido makes her a new body to replace the old, destroyed one. Alita learns again what it means to be alive, embracing both her human and her robotic sides in a dystopian society where cyborgs compete in a gladiator-like game. Despite becoming a superb fighter, she doesn’t forget her human connections and feelings. Alita: Battle Angel was adapted from an early-1990s Japanese cyberpunk manga called Gunnm.
