Motorball Mugs
Description: Motorball (モーターボール Mōtābōru) is the most popular spectator sport in the Western District of the Scrapyard, with the Coliseum being the equivalent in the Eastern District. Functionally, it serves an important role in society as it allows viewers to temporarily forget the despair of their situation. In actuality, this hyperviolent cross between gladiatorial combat and speed skating relieves stress much more with violence than it does with sport. The goal of each race is to carry a heavy motorball across the finish line, or to be the last player standing.
Description: Fed up with Ido, Alita registers herself as a Hunter-Warrior, then she and Hugo enter the Kansas Bar to ask other Hunter-Warriors in helping her take down Grewishka, but they refuse, as Grewishka is not on the wanted list. Suddenly, an upgraded Grewishka storms into the bar and challenges Alita to a rematch, revealing he has been sent by his boss, Nova, to destroy her. Despite her courage and combat skills, Alita's body is sliced up by Grewishka's bladed fingers before she blinds him with her left arm, and Ido, Hugo, and another Hunter-Warrior force him to retreat. Ido transplants Alita in the Berserker body, which automatically interfaces with her system.
