** The Jupiterean team's first fighter, the Übernaut, is ''exactly'' 50 meters in diameter and weighs ''exactly'' 500 tons, placing it just at the size and weight limit. However, it has the abiliy to cover itself in a shell made of the ground it stands on. Because the size rules only apply ''upon entry'', it can grow as large as it needs to without breaking the rules.

Outside of combat, they're manic-depressive cyborgs with an obsessively negative self-image...until they're shot full of adrenalizer and slotted into their hulking, tank-like armor, after which they become a skilled and well-coordinated fighting force. Unfortunately, their initial portrayals had them fighting Alita and one of the Tuned, both of whom had little trouble dealing with dozens of them. However, during the [[spoiler:attack on Ido's village,]] just ''five'' of them turned the tide of the battle.

* DenserAndWackier: ''Last Order'', originally having being an adaptation of the last levels of the video game as oppossed to a sequel of the original manga, is this in comparison to the original series. Fights are more destructive and cartoonish compared to the original manga. They are also less realistic in that the fights can go on for long periods of time, as opposed to the rather swift and brutal killings of the original. New characters can also be highly absurd in their personalities and abilities, with certain characters serving little more then as comedic relief, even in highly dramatic moments. Overall, these attributes serve to make ''Last Order'' much more comedic and less grounded then it was compared to the original manga, however, ''Mars Chronicles" returns the series to its more grounded roots and tone.

** The last Venusian member, Gargantua, [[spoiler:also seems to have been designed with the "size upon entry" loophole in mind. It's introduced to the arena in the form of a huge organic "bullet" which hits Homme du Feu and causes him to fuse with Arduinna and grow into a titanic figure even bigger than the arena]]. Either that, or [[RefugeInAudacity the Venusians just went ahead and did it without any concern for the tournament rules]].

* FirstEpisodeTwist: The first chapter leads you into thinking Ido, a very important character throughout the initial series, is a villain murdering women and taking their parts to assemble Alita's body, and even Alita suspects that's what's going on. It takes a moment where [[StabTheScorpion he swings his rocket hammer at the real serial killer]] when she swoops behind Alita to confirm to both her and the reader that he's innocent.

* GrayAndGreyMorality: No one is perfect in this universe. Antagonists often have understandable motives and/or tragic backstories, and sympathetic characters all have deep flaws and aren't above the occasional [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]] moment. Alita in particular seems to fancy herself as a superheroine who wants to make the world a better place or protect the people she cares about, but she also [[BloodKnight enjoys violence for its own sake]], and she's often just as likely to cause harm as she is to prevent it.
