History Manga / Biomega

'''''Biomega''''' is a 2007 CyberPunk ScienceFiction manga by Creator/TsutomuNihei.

* {{Badass}}: Higaide and Zouichi. For being heroic individuals with their own agenda.

* RussianGuySuffersMost: It's a bit of a running gag that [[BearsAreBadNews Kozlov the talking bear]] keeps getting bits of himself shot off by the bad guys. Considering his earlier manga, ''{{Blame}}'' also features another guy with an Eastern-European-sounding name who endures similar hardships, it seems Creator/TsutomuNihei really gets a kick out of this trope.

* ShoutOut: There are a lot, but the most obvious are the AI companions that appear as 10 inch tall, pretty young ladies in tight fitting clothes with odd vertical black markings. Now [[{{Halo}} where]] have I seen that before?

** Your first thought when seeing Fuyu is [[http://www35.onemanga.com/Biomega/4/01/ "Oh, hello Cortana."]] And she even has the same job.

** Kardal Spindal's last name may or may not be a mistranslated nod to Isaac Szpindel, a cyborg from PeterWatts' novel ''Literature/{{Blindsight}}''.

* AlternateUniverse: This seems to be the case with Biomega, it features a lot of similarities with all of other Tsutomu's works but the stories can't possibly take place in the same universes. Biomega and BLAME! both feature ArtificialHumans who are quite similar to one another but the stories don't connect. Plus several brands appear in the different stories with Toha Heavy Industries appearing in all of them as a benevolent MegaCorp. They are the one's who created the good kind of ArtificialHumans in all of the story lines. Then again BLAME! revealed that they posess the ability to travel whole buildings through space and time, [[GuardianOfTheMultiverse so...]]

*** Given how ridiculously powerful Zoichi's pistol is its safe to say that Nihei did not approve of the nerfing of Halo:CE's pistol. That's right boys and girls, we may have found a Japanese Halo fan, they do exist!

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Yion

* TheGunslinger: All [[{{ArtificialHuman}} Artificial Humans]]. You don't see gunplay this fast anywhere outside TheDarkTower.

* {{Jossed}}: Everybody ''knew'' this was a prequel to ''BLAME!'' untill the news came out that WordOfGod said it wasn't.

* FriendlyEnemy: While not necessarily 'friendly' its hard to understand the relationship between Kardal Spindal and Zoichi. On one hand they have come very close to killing each other several times, but on the other hand they have the odd habit of letting each other go. There was also one instance where Kardal gave Zoichi a cure for the poison an HQ solider shot him with, the author never got around explaining why. Whether or not this was a case of FoeYay or something else is never explored since Kardal was later PutOnABus for the remainder of the series.

** The RDF's AxCrazy patrol officers wear aprons and masks that look like faces. [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Hmmm...]]
