So many cyberpunk stories try to have some violent and dangerous sport to represent the amorality of the world they’re set in. Battle Angel is one of the few that did it well.
Moterball, thank you. Read everything (Battle Angel & Last Order) translated years and years ago. Been thinking about collecting the Japanese versions.

Rollerball, bitches!
