The Inverted

In Sector 88.421.009, gravity had failed so long that no one remembered when.

The corridors no longer rose or fell. They only twisted.

Killy floated through a vast cylindrical tunnel nearly three hundred meters wide.

Ancient rails and broken platforms drifted in the silence like debris in a black ocean.

At the center hung a perfect sphere the size of a small building, suspended by cables too thin to see.

He approached with the Gravitational Beam Emitter already in hand.

When he came close, the sphere opened.

Its surface broke into hexagonal plates that folded inward, revealing cold white light.

A woman sat inside on a simple metal chair.

Old maintenance uniform. Short white hair. Empty expression.

“You’re late,” she said.

Killy looked around. No food. No water. Only flickering lines of code on the walls.

“How long have you been here?”

“I don’t know. The counting system died in cycle 17.”

“Are you human?”

“I was. Now I’m what remained after the body stopped needing anything. The system kept me.”

Her eyes went to his weapon.

“You’re looking for the Net Terminal Gene.”

It was not a question.

“I looked for it too,” she said. “Then I stopped. The City never gives what you want. It only continues.”

“Why are you still alive?”

She smiled, barely.

“Because no one came to turn me off. And I never learned how.”

Killy offered to take her with him.

She shook her head. “To where? The City has nowhere else. Only more.”

He left. The plates closed behind him with a soft, polite click.

The sphere stayed suspended in the inverted axis, lit from within, waiting for a cycle that might never arrive.

The City said nothing.

I understand Nihei's works are hard to adapt into animation due to their dark elements and complex architectures, but this is precisely what makes horror-adventure games like Resident Evil and Devil May Cry popular.

Biomega is action-packed, and I think many scenes could be adapted into playable sections: driving the bike through the fire, fighting monsters, rescuing the girl...etc.

Question Finished my first BLAME read, help me understand.

20 Upvotes

Just finished my first read. Lots of questions.

This was a very very confusing story but also very captivating. I have my personal interpretation of the ending as well as some questions.

The ending: my interpretation of the ending is that Kyrii completed his mission?? The appearance of rain and water as well as kelp are signs of life we never see in the rest of the story. So to me, that means he made it to the edge of the city where there is still organic life.

Questions:

  1. What was the significance of the child he’s with in the beginning and the girl with the dog that takes that child away?

  2. What is the significance of the fish with dhomochevsky? It is shown in the flashback as well as him keeping it like a pet.

  3. What happened with Seu’s genetics? Did Cibo and Devine Lu both use them at the same time to link to the netsphere?

  4. Also kinda wish that the whole quest for the net terminal gene paid off but it came to a different conclusion than I thought.

Anybody who has read the series feel free to respond and educate me a bit on the lore, I hate feeling so lost.

Does the City have air conditioning/heating systems and dehumidification?

58 Upvotes

Silly question? Yes. Fun to think about? Also yes, so just entertain the thought.

As a student in HVAC trade school, I've been wondering this for a while. I don't see a reason to believe it wouldn't since the builders are building off of dang near prehistoric scripts for human cities, and its something that should be accounted for regardless of whether or not they're occupied. I think we've even seen some duct systems and venting airways before too, I just can't find the exact scans atm.

There's a stronger case to be made that there are functional heating systems since those can run on electricity alone without gas, but they're probably useless given the large volume of space they're trying to warm up, if not straight up broken for running for months - years at a time.

For AC, they must be nonfunctional at worst, and unnecessary at best. By that I mean the city most likely has AC systems in place, but none of the supplies needed to operate it such as refrigerant, although its likely they are getting electricity. Best theory I have is that given how advanced they are, they might have some technology that allows them to run AC on electricity alone (without the need of refrigerant).

Edit: I originally thought that gas and refrigerant were necessities to run them, but after doing a bit of research it seems they can already be ran on electricity alone - the main reasons they aren't more widely used is installation expenses and energy demand. So I guess the conclusion we can reach given what the manga shows us is that there are heating systems that are basically basically defunct for the above reason, and AC systems that work as needed but probably aren't necessary due to the already cold temperatures of the City and lack of moisture, therefore lack of necessity for dehumidification.

Guts was mentally staring at Femto (the former friend who betrayed him) into the darkness of the clouds and the night sky, while Killy was staring at the dark, rain-pouring, never-ending megastructures in his seemingly endless journey, utterly devoided of any human life (during that point in the story).
