Gally is a character of the Manga Gunnm .

In Gunnm

Gally is the heroin of Gunnm and its true name is Yoko. It was born in a space colony several centuries before the beginning from the manga and the circumstances of its arrival on Earth differ according to whether one refers to the first version of Gunnm or to Last Order . According to the first version, it had to leave the spaceship which transported it little before this one does not explode, wounding it seriously and precipitating its fall towards the Earth. However, protected by a special substance (at the origin intended to allow survival in space), its brain was preserved. According to Last Order , during an interplanetary war, Yoko sabotaged a half-dozen of vessels of the Earth. It was found and overcome by warlike named a Kaelhula Sangwiss, which wounded it seriously. Judged, she was condemned to died by disintegration in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, although very largely destroyed, its brain, it, miraculeusement were miraculeusement preserved and atterit in Kuzutestu.

Two hundred years later, Ido Daisuke, a cybernetician of Kuzutetsu, found his intact remained head and decided to give again life to him. Ido the prénomma Gally (in remembering its cat, deceased earlier a few weeks) and Yoko/Gally, amnesic, began a new life then.

Its past Martian (the planet of origin of Gally) however re-appears when discovering the activity of Hunter-Warrior d' Ido, it the USA with a great ease of movements of " Panzer Kunst ", an obscure martial art cyborg Martian, judged at the time invincible with high level, to be able to demolish itself of its opponent.

To find its origins, Gally thus decided to become it also Hunter-Warrior. After a combat against wretched the Makaku and a idylle of short duration with the young person Yugo, Gally sank in despair with dead of this one and started a new career as a player of Motorball.

Meeting the very charismatic Jashugan, the champion of Motorball, she saw in him very a great man and a warrior having reached, like she, another dimension that the simple pleasure of the combat. After a duel of anthology where each one fought for its own motivations, Jashugan be right of Gally before dying itself of its very serious cerebral disease.

After Motorball, Gally met strange the Desty Nova, which killed Ido accidentally and awoke Zapan, a former rival of Gally, from now on very powerful. After very a violent one fights, helped by the weapons of Nova, it embanked Zapan but was condemned to died for illegal use of firearms (the possession of such weapons is a crime of category has in Kuzutetsu).

But the G.I.B., the security service of Zalem, had seen in it potential allied of value and saved it to make of it the first of the Tuned , the surfactants to the pay of Zalem. Gally then had to fight against the organization of Barjack helped by Desty Nova. After its adventures with Fogia Furnace, Kaos, Den, Ido (it was indeed ressuscity, as promised, by Nova and it is also to find it that Gally agreed to find Nova) and once again Desty Nova, it died in a trap tended by the latter. However, it ressuscita in order to use it thereafter as guinea-pig within the framework of its studies on the karma.

Gally is above all in the search of its own humanity. Although having a mechanical body, can one still live, like, like human flesh and of blood? Cyborgs are they still really human or they are not that an alive weapon? The engagements that Gally carries out, it also does it for its hidden past, because each combat revives its memory. Gally is the spearhead of this reflection on the condition of the man and the machine in Kuzutetsu, the hell on ground. In Gunnm, it is always necessary to wonder until where goes and can go humanity or inhumanity (this is particularly true in the character of Gally but also in that of Desty Nova). This question about humanity is particularly visible in the volume 4 where Gally furiously massacres a whole squadron of the Barjack, and in parallel, is full with compassion as for misfortunes of Yorg.

In Gunnm Last Order

At the beginning of Last Order , Gally awakes in Zalem, affluent of a new body: The imaginos. Tracking Desty Nova in the city, it will meet Jim Roscoe, the assistant of Nova, which will explain to him that since its Master to reveal the secrecy of Zalem to the inhabitants, reigns an immense war, between adults and children. Gally will find Desty Nova and will have to fight Sechs, Elf and Zwölf, of old Tuned, now combined to the scientist. Gally will manage to wound Sechs seriously, but Nova will fall through the combat. Gally will decide to be combined in Tuned and to the professor to find Lou, whose brain is preserved at Jeru since its death. After being itself removed from the various guards, the four accomplices thus moved towards the space city.

On their arrival on Jeru, Gally and its companions met Aga Me Badi, technocrat of Jeru, which put them out of state to harm, with an disconcerting ease. Me Badi imprisoned Nova and projected the four Tuned in the space vacuum, where they were recovered of accuracy by Ping Wu, a dissident of Jeru and old Hacker of reputation. Gally convainquit Ping Wu to help them in their search, but he explained to him why he should first of all flee of Jeru, in direction of a named space colony Leviathan 1, from where he could plan their infiltration of the space city. Gally and its comparses tried to flee on board a princely vessel Martien and, after a hard battle with Xazi, one of the bodyguards of the princess Limeïla de Mars, they were invited by this one to join Leviathan 1.

Ping Wu proposed in Tuned to take part to the Z.O.T. Tournament, a stellar tournament during which a planetary truce is installed and where it could infiltrate without evil Jeru. The four Tuned thus particpèrent with the Z.O.T.T under the nickname of the Space Angels . After preliminary combat, they faced SNS Guntroll, a stellar nursery. Sechs, Elf and Zwölf began the hostilities and beat successively Getto, Kohen, Niz before being all shot down by the terrible qu Tuang. Gally entered then in scene to beat qu Tuang and to fight the last of Guntroll: Kaelhula Sangwiss, that there even which had decapitated it 200 years before. After being itself to let kill to flee, Kaelhula entrusted to Gally a software to penetrate in Jeru without difficulty. Gally thus sprang towards Melchiedzek leaving his/her Tuned comrades faced Starship Cult, their next adversary.

Gally met nevertheless Zyke the Bloodthirsty man on the pontoon of Melchiedzek. Zyke was a former instructor of Panzer Kunst and it thus revealed any last horrible sound to him. Gally finally put it out of state to harm before entering the host Computer of Jeru.

Panzer Kunst

Remark, that either had has a certain ignorance of German on behalf of the author or a problem of translation, more the share of the terms German employed do not have any direction or are completely except matter (it is for example refers has a hut and has a stair-well!).

Panzer Kunst (comes from German, Panzer=Armure , Kunst=Art ) is an martial art of Martian origin, which passes to be the father modern martial arts cyborg. This art of the combat at summer invented by certain Tiger Zahuel, which was a disciple of Kaelhula Sangwiss in person! The bases of Panzer Kunst are above all the techniques aiming at being fixed on the opponent, on his rate/rhythm and its body, to be able to embank it in the very powerful one counter. Panzer Kunst uses above all the blows of elbows and feet, as well as attacks with oscillations (see low). Panzer Kunst is also very air and finds all its dimension against larger opponents. Side arms, Kunstlers are sometimes armed with blades of elbows but there is not no need for weapons to overcome the enemy, whatever it is.

Schools of Panzer Kunst

• the school Shneider : It is the basic group of Kunstlers, the first school. Panzer Kunst learned within the framework from the Shneider style is supposed being the pure Panzer Kunst.

• Grunthal : It is the principal base of the Shneider school over Mars, it is there that are the leaders of Panzer Kunst, it is the place where the first school of Panzer Kunst was founded.
• the school Mauser : Connect parallel, it is Panzer Kunst based on the use of weapons of any kinds, in particular the blades of elbows, elbogen-blatt .
• Kammer Grüpe : Special branch of the school Mauser, Kammer Grüpe is a criminal branch of Mauser. Its activities gathers terrorism, sabotage, assassination and torture
• Kammer Fraü : A branch of Mauser, only consisted of female elements.
• Seiner Weisen : This title is more one honorary distinction that another thing. Are recognized like having Seiner Weisen, Kunstler having their own style and techniques. It is a little as the title are : there would be Kunstler Seiner Weisen , as Doctor are Science for example.

Ranks of Panzer Kunst

Kunstlers are divided into nine ranks:

• Anfangel : Beginning.

• Shretel : Beginning Comfirmé.
• Rearingh : Apprentice.
• Gehsel : Combatant.
• Krieger : Warrior.
• Höhe Krieger : Confirmed warrior.
• Meister : Master.
• Adept : Experienced Master.
• Eld Meister : Large Master.

To locate Gally there inside, it is a meister Mauser school belonging to Kammer Fraü, connects of Kammer Grüpe. Its Master, Einzug Rüstüngen was probably Adept of the Shneider school.

Techniques of Panzer Kunst

One counts among the techniques of Panzer Kunst:

• the Hertz Haeon . Technique with oscillation aiming at sending, with the palm of hand, a powerful discharge of energy in the body of the enemy. This attack is very powerful against the cyborgs, because it crosses the plates of armours and can kill out of a blow, for little which one aims at the tète or the heart. This attack however does not have any effects in 0G (revolved null), indeed the current disperses and does not leave any more in straight line, which is without interest. To note that Fogia Furnace control this technique, although it has an human body.

• the Hertz Nadel . An alternative of the Hertz Haeon, which is divided into two phases:
• the Ferschlag . Still a technique with oscillation, which consists in sending a small discharge in the body of the adversary. This current will rebound everywhere in the body of the target and will end up being placed in one of its end (arm, legs). This led to the second phase…
• the Hertz Nadel . By sending an Hertz Haeon, but with only one finger, at the place where the energy sent with Verschlag is placed, the combination of two energies produces a very dangerous mini-explosion for the enemy, because inside the body. This attack can be realized under 0G and is all the more powerful besides as gravity is low. It is the alternative of Hertz Haeon, studied for weak gravities.
• Hertz Falen . This technique is an alternative of the Hertz Nadel , in much more powerful and which is carried out in combination with a dodging of the type Geheimnis .
• the Geheimnis Einzug Rüstüngen . Technique of against. While being based on the rate/rhythm of the opponent, Kunstler strips a blow of elbow or knee in the temple of the enemy when this one tackles or lowers its guard. This technique can kill out of a blow and is reserved for the elevated levels of Kunstlers.
• the Geheimnis Einzahshrutmen . Alternative of the preceding exit of the old and now disappeared Gossen School. This dodging makes it possible to shift of a frontal attack of the opponent to place themselves on his side and to complete it of against containing attack with oscillation.
• the Renka Gekisho . It is frontal attack is a powerful sequence of fists with 10 blows/seconds, rapid and. At the end, Kunstler completes the enemy of an Hertz Haeon carried out with the two hands, directed towards the heart. This technique is not the prerogative of Panzer Kunst, because any cyborg involved a little can use it. Force is to recognize that Gally rather often uses it.
• the Tanka Kaigeki . It is a succession of parades and of counter at the time of frontal attacks coming from the opponent. When the enemy attacks with punches, this technique aims at neutralizing the elbows then to block the arms on the level of the hip. This sequence is finished sometimes by an Hertz Haeon aiming at the tète. This technique is only defensive and there are effective blows only the last.
• the Rasen Kyoku . This technique of against anti-giant consists in, when the enemy gives a punch, reaching his tète while whirling on its arm. The enemy cannot attack Kunstler without damaging his own member. Sometimes it is possible to launch plasma during rotation on the arm, thus, if the adversary tries, later, to move too violently its arm, this one explodes!
• the Plasma Bissen . Original technique of Gally. It is an attack which consists in launching plasma on the level of the articulations of the enemy to neutralize it, without killing it.
• Mauser Schule Elbogen-Blatt . It is about the whole of the techniques launched with blades of elbows, in the Mauser style. This style of combat is preferred of Gally.

Of the summaries of all the basic techniques Panzer Kunst is joined to volumes large size, of the 1 to the 3.

The Blade of Damas, the body of Berserker and Imaginos

the Blade of Damas

The blade of Damas is the emblematic weapon of Gally. This weapon was forged by a friend of ED which was already its arms manufacturer of time when it ran like Motorballer (in fact, ED was a specialist in techniques of blades). This blade is initially in two specimens that Gally relates to the elbows, points backwards, to increase its blows and to make them more dangerous. Nevertheless after its combat against Caligula, these two blades, damaged, are molten in only one. During its Tuned period, Gally adapted a system of opening similar to the knife butterfly, transforming the weapon into a long halberd. The blade will be finally assimilated in Last Order, by the body Imaginos de Gally. The blade of Damas, in addition to being a superb work of art, is a blade with the capacity leaving the ordinary one. Indeed, its resistance and its edge are preserved much longer than the normal blades. It is known as that it could box water jets with high-pressure or supersonic shock waves!

The steel of Damas exists truly and it is a primitive steel named Wootz. See also: Lames of Damas which is produced by forging of fine steel sheets of different colors. From a metallurgical point of view the blade of Damas is an aberration because it is presented as made of a steel strongly combine whereas it is not possible to carry out a damask linen factory with these types of steels.

The Body of Berserker

This cybernetic body is supposed being one of the most powerful bodies of combat cyborg. At the time of the space Great Wars, the veterans equipped with such bodies which can without sorrow face enemies by fifty times more. The bodies of Berserker increase the reflexes and offer to the carrier an analysis time more split up, enabling him to react beuacoup more quickly and to coordinate several attacks at the same time. Moreover, the Berserker bodies can generate electric arcs, heatshields, the faisceux ionic ones or launchers of plasma. These bodies also have systems allowing the body hyberner, the bodies of Berserk can function extrèmement a long time, without losing their capacities or undergoing the ravage of time.

The body of Berserker de Gally was offered to him by Ido after their first combat against Makaku (where the body of Gally was destroyed mainly). Gally will use this new body to kill Makaku and will keep long enough it. After the death of Yugo, it stored it in a container to forget it, so much this body pointed out its past with the young man to him. Desty Nova put finally the hand above and offered it to Zapan. Exceeded by the fusion of the hatred of this one with the power of Berserker, it will help Gally to finish some with Zapan and the cybernetic body consequently occasion. This body of berserker is the only one that one vut in Gunnm.

Imaginos

Imaginos is the name of the body of Gally in Last Order. This body, manufactured by Desty Nova like gift of welcome for Gally, is resulting from the searchs for Nova on Berserkers. Imaginos is a fusion of a body of Berserker with the Blade of Damas of heroin. This new body has the same properties as the body of Berserker with new capacities like technologies of furtivity, the possibility of using blades of plasma and of making leave the Blades of Damas its front armlevers. Moreover, Imaginos has esthetic qualities and of durability of the steel of Damas. It also has a certain furtive technology.

Tuned

The Tuned project aimed in fact, to create a series of agents, with the pay of Zalem, infiltrated on the surface. For that, Bigott, the chief of the known as project sent a thousand of TR-55, small robots camouflaged in species of small animals, espionner the people having a good potential of combat. After years, Bigott threw its reserved on Gally and forced it to work for Zalem. Retorting its brain then, Bigott could create eleven clones of Gally having exactly the same capacities and techniques of combat. All Tuned its named GR. (then a number). GR-1 is Gally then comes the eleven other clones.

Sechs, Elf, Zwölf and others

• Sechs : Alias GR-6. Sechs has a clean psychology, compared with the majority of other Tuned. Naturally very powerful, she sought a reason to live after the end of the activities of Tuned (with died of Bigott) and sought in fact other Tuned to eliminate them. She killed a great number of units GR. and was combined finally with Desty Nova to find Gally, the Original against which she wishes to fight to prove its force with the others and with itself. Sechs much will evolve/move at the sides of Gally and will gradually change behavior in front of miseries of the world (because it has after all the same brain as Gally). Sechs is relatively strong since Tuned, its body also has a gun with integrated solenoid and it fights with long a double launches out of titanium, derived from the Blade of Damas de Gally. Sechs has moreover create its own style of combat, the " Sechster Angriff ". After its Tuned body either destroyed by Gally, Sechs received a new body: Fijiroy Body, of the level of a Berserker body.
• Elf and Zwölf : Respectively GR-11 and GR-12, these two Tuned are the bodyguards of Desty Nova. One does not know really what pushed them to be combined with him but it carry out nevertheless these orders with the letter. Just like Sechs, it have their clean personality (even if they are all two the very similar ones). They are completely fofolles and spend their time to have fun or making stupid remarks. Their vestimentary tastes are also rather particular, since after having related to Zalem of held Tuned more than light, they will fight with the Z.O.T. Tournament disguised out of rabbit! Even if they are much less strong than Sechs and Gally, as Tuned, they are nevertheless rather coriaces. They use very sharp monomolecular cables, elaborative of the techniques in duet. It also can " tricoter" , a scarf in these same wire, even more resistant and sharp.
• other Tuned : The other units all GR. are died. GR-2 was killed in duel by Gally, GR-10 was burned with death when Fury, the dog cyborg of Koyomi, threw it in flames. As for models 3,4,5,7,8 and 9, they all were destroyed by Sechs.
