Here we can see prime examples of Mina's trademark "I'm working so hard only to realize I didn't need to" squint. It appears part of Mina-chan's personality was transferred over to Mamoru, rather than copied. She seems colder and more stern than before. It may be related to her black-and-white...

Ghost: A restless entity bound to the mortal realm by regret over matters left unsettled in life.

@sixfish11 Contrary to popular belief, german soldiers were also people of flesh and blood who followed orders but were likewise capable of showing empathy.

@MarxRaiden The visage of young children makes adult combatants hesitate to kill them, providing an advantage to the cyborgs. Triggers a protective parental instinct. Happens all the time with child soldiers in our world as well.

The final panel may be suggesting that it was indeed human meat. Accounts of people who tasted it describe it in different ways, making it difficult to liken it to a specific sort of meat.

The fourth time she disobeys and acts on emotion.

It feels like the author is slowly leaning towards a bittersweet story. Mina has yet to understand the rationale that her existence and purpose as a robot is not solely based on functionality, and has yet to make an independent decision for her own benefit, rather than roundabout to Takuma's...

Sengoku-era Japan wasn't politically correct. I wouldn't expect any of these three characters to use any respectful terms to describe the main antagonist they're all there to kill.

She's sending her off to her wedding. It makes more sense if you see the girl in the third page as her granddaughter, though the blue flower suggests it's the same girl in all three pages.

It would seem that Mina's sapience has been copied over to the protector robot through experience. Another hint that she may be a special case in her robot series.

@abdude13 Given the resonance frequency cancellation effect of the belt, if she wore two, she would vibrate again, albeit at the same frequency as the belts instead of her own. If she wore three or more belts with different frequencies, she would vibrate at a wider and more random, but not...

An engineer(ed) human.

@Anreon Please do not mistake the Nordic Model as socialism. Their system is a blend of capitalist economics with socialist values and they are all free market capitalist countries that thrive despite the inherent cost of social and welfare state policies. Their prime ministers have already made...

Keep in mind Ponko is a banned, discontinued autonomous combat robot retrofitted for civilian purposes with an X-Buster in one of her arms. She doesn't have the most reliable sense of safety.

This is the third time Ponko's personality truly manifests.

I wonder what exactly she hacked into with her "incantation" to override one of the solar panels and redirect it towards the alley with such accuracy. I wonder if she had help.

I suppose she jokes about the underwear issue as a coping mechanism. The bad memories were such that it's simply better to just talk about something light-hearted instead.

How quick they are to trust the word of a deranged mass-murderer over the one guy who has been basically solving all their problems without killing anyone for who knows how long. Nevermind the fact that killing an Administrator basically puts you on death row anyway, so they were dead from the...

@dsid2814 We already have programs underway that are transforming pilots into mobile drone operators, with projects like Boeing Autonomous Systems' "Loyal Wingman" project, EADS' "Barracuda" and Kratos' "XQ-58 Valkyrie", all of which is expected to make them almost completely autonomous by the...

An unmanned F-35 complete with a canopy and ejection seat, in an age of drones. Okay.
