*** The game really could have used a little ChekhovsGun to set up the idea (Perhaps collecting Durga's head to stand trial?), but in settings with {{Transhuman}} elements it's not too unusual for characters to survive being reduced to a brain and being reconstructed at a later date, even if they've flatlined. Hell, look at RoboCop.

* What's the significance of Big Bull's symbols on his head and chest? Sure, one means "blind spot" and the other is the emblem of Neptune (planet and Greek God). Is it just something Bull did for style or what? This is a minor point, but no amount of research explains it.

** Probably is for style. The blind spot became one of his gang's symbols, since it's on the back of their jackets, so who's to say.

*** There is an AllThereInTheManual explanation. In Big Bull's bio, it states that he elected to have his brain taken out of his body and into the minotaur mecha we know and love, and Garuda was a dead man who had his brain copied onto a memory card and slotted into a customised Gargoyle. Even if [[spoiler: Nikolai]] was dead, they could just copy his brain onto an SD card and put him in a coffee machine while they put him on trial.

** Maybe Ai Rin just wanted to kill someone [[PsychopathicManChild because she's fun like that]], Fei Rin didn't bother to stop her, and they both just grasped an easy excuse to explain it away to Rin Rin later?

*** She and Fei Rin also seem to have a [[FantasticRacism serious problem with cyborgs,]] referring to Sasha as an "it" and threatening to strip her for parts prior to the fight against them. [[Hypocrite Despite having cybernetic parts of their own]].

**Sasha is stated to be entirely Human, using only a nano-machine suit, while the three Rin sisters all have cybernetic feet (for what reason, i will never know).

*** Likely his head was organic and his body was alive, just now a stump. Death is a real thing in Anarchy Reigns, or else [[spoiler:Stela and Ondine's deaths]] wouldn't have been as driving as they were.

*Why, in a world where cyborg parts are the norm, is Ai Rin the only one with an eyepatch? There are several kinds of robotic eyes, from Jack and the BPS variety, to Durga's less than subtle approach.
** Considering her [[PsychopathicManchild personality]], it's probably less because she don't have an eye and more because she thought it would be [[RuleOfCool cool.]]
*** She and Fei Rin also seem to have a [[FantasticRacism serious problem with cyborgs,]] referring to Sasha as an "it" and threatening to strip her for parts prior to the fight against them.
* Did [[spoiler: Nikolai]] die at the end? He's cut in half, but the other characters talk about him as if he's still alive and even go to put him on trial.
** Death seems like more of an inconvenience to people as far up the ranks as him. Considering his head was the only organic part of him left, it's likely they'd just revive him for his trial and punishment.
