In the subbed episodes of Black Bullet I'm watching, if rightly translated,
they seem to say Tina Sprout is a mechanical soldier? is this so? Why an
initiator who already has superhuman habilities (enhaced strenght, speed,
recovery, etc.) would need mechanical parts?

black-bullet
is Tina Sprout an initiator and a mechanical soldier?


Yes, Tina Sprout is both a Cursed Child (Initiator) and a mechanical soldier.

Why? It makes her the perfect sniper and assassin. Her mechanical implants
allow her to make extraordinary shots that she would not be capable of even
with her Initiator powers by providing her control over her body and
mechanical systems like Shenfield (or automated guns for attacking) that can
feed information directly to her brain

As for the reason for the NEXT project, it can be gleaned from this passage.

The strength of a Cursed Child far exceed that of a regular human and the
ability of an enhanced (mechanized) Cursed Child is superior to anything else
