Gantz

[FoRgOtTeN38]

anybody been watchin it?
if you havent well its a good time to start
i loved the start when they both die right off the start
that tells you how it's gonna go on

[Dark Schneider]

First of all it is Gantz.

Secondly yes it started off pretty good and was fresh for a while. Recently it has been majorly boring though, when a certain very important character died I stopped reading entirely.

[SilverKunai]

Going to move this to the Non OneManga Section....

[J.T.]

It had a potential for an interesting story but as you said people just keep on dying... Did someone finish the whole manga?

[SilverKunai]

Erm....Nevermind....moving this back...

I forgot we had Gantz here.

Sorry.

[FoRgOtTeN38]

i did have all the fills up to yesterday but i deleted them for some space
well lookin at all the other mangas where the main character wants to be stronger and kill all the villians this is pretty different
survival of the fittest well i guess i like it becouse it has more of an adult theme not like naruto or bleach or some others

i started readin Gants off here then i went and found the rest so it should be on OneManga's manga section

[beakedbard]

"oh so you care for her"
"no i just want my finger back"
Ace quote ^.^

[FoRgOtTeN38]

yea but that was to be expected i was hoping she would die but she only got her arm chopped

[Spade]

Gantz is awesome. I'm not a fan of bloody violence and stuff but this one is really addicting. I want this mission to be over quick so we get to know more about what the hell is going on in Stage 2.

[Serenity]

lol Gantz is awesomeness, i wonder if Kei is gonna come bak...

[Sainthermit]

I liked it until the buddha mission ended and everyone was like, not alive. So I thought oh... ok.

[uzzi]

GANTZ is massive yo !!!!!!!!!!
btw what happen to ep 95 - ep 235 ????

[Alberio]

lol Gantz is awesomeness, i wonder if Kei is gonna come bak...


He better I mean without him and Izumi all we have left is Muscles, Host Samurai, psychics, and Nishi as the big point takers. Well the old man does too but everyone was all, we will let the Osakans do it.

My bro says he aboslutly despises Tae, he says that she was too stalker-ish around Kei.

I REALLY want to know what Nishi is doing right now, probably getting off on all the dead bodies that have been coming around.:D

[Vermillius]

The story has been pretty interesting so far...not much has been explained so you have to piece things together. Gantz to the targets as Aliens...but when we learned about the vampires you got the impression that they were humans with a weird gene. A lot of the Aliens also say something to the tune of "give us back our land"...so...I question whether or not the Aliens are extraterrestrials or not. I wonder if the Tokyo Team is going to choose freedom, or realize that with more and more Alien attacks their best chance for survival IS to be a part of Gantz.

This Misssion has been good. We get to see Katou-cha in action, and the vampires have just realized they bit off more than they could chew. I'm interested in seeing this Ohka guy who made 700 points...and I am curious if the option "powerful new weapon" is the same weapon each time, or something new. We have yet to see Nishi so far...I imagine he is amassing quite a few points. Although team Tokyo has been a let down...they are saying they just want to survive...but you don't get any points by sitting around idly.

I'm thinking that after the mission is over, Katou-cha is going to be the leader instead of Reika. I would have liked to see Katou-cha and Izumi on the same mission...but I am really looking forward to Katou and Kurono back in action.

[Gantz]

the new plot twist with the teaming up with the vampires is pretty interesting. i doubt kurono will be revived anytime soon. but i bet the new weapon will show up. the chapters come out so slow though.....

[Vermillius]

I think Katou is going to get a lot of points this mission...there are so many Aliens around it wouldn't be surprising if he made 100 points...somewhat like the Oni Mission.

[Cougar]

ill be extremely dissapointed if they dont revive kurono..

[FoRgOtTeN38]

the first thing izumi is probably to do is revive him
but u no he might die and others might revive kurono and he gotta rev izumi again
well the main concern right now is the vampires they said they dont wanna kill their own kin however they dont got much choice since gants put that chip in their head
they probably going to find a way around it or kill all the gantzers?(story will end 2 quick so i doubt it)
new weapon i think that the weapons that those three idiots had were one kind of new weapons (big machinegun) although they probably didnt no how to use it correctly
and i bet they get new weapons everytime u beat the game, better weapon probably (would be pointless to get a new weapon just rev an idiot to foul around with)
the 700 points guy will be intersting

i still cant understand why gants ordered to kill a human (kurono's girl) is she a vampire??? maybe (she wouldnt have died that easy)
or did gant get tired of kurono !!! why would gantz have his own ppl fight each other??
isnt gantz objective killin aliens/monsters??

[Spade]

Izumi can't revive Kurono. He's dead. ^^

And well, Gantz obviously didn't like Kurono. First he was sent on that mission alone and then he they were sent after his girl. "That's what you get for poking my ear all the time!" *ahem*
That's what I also liked about the ending of the Anime. Although it was crappy, hunting the "Kurono Alien" was kinda cool. ^^

[Alberio]

Well Tae was wanted mainly because she took a photo that showed the aliens, thus it would've revealed that aliens are around causing investigations and panic, which he doesn't want. The part about killing herwas mostly just to be an *** though. He could've simply said get that G.D. camera but he just decided to say heck with it and kill her.

[J.T.]

He had to make a point or otherwise they all would take photos, and the game ain't a tourist attraction :D

[Spade]

And now they are visible to everyone. Next mission is to kill every person who saw an alien? Like... the whole country? XD

[J.T.]

Well, more dead people means more potential players...

[Raiden]

I have watched the anime and also read the Manga by onemanga;) and i think Gantz is a very cool manga and full off action and emotions, that makes it to one of the best manga ever!

Also I miss Kei at the current mission... he was the strongest and coolest guy and fighter!

[hehey]

the raw for chap 255 is out.

[Vermillius]

Gantz targetted Tae because Gantz knew Kurono would bring her back to life. Seeing Kei's incredible skills and knowing he was about to reach 100 points, Gantz basically made it so that Kei would need 200 points to be free.

[E-Jo]

is it just me or do you guys think kaze is BADASS but i have a sick feeling my stomach that he is going to die since he only fights with fists.

[The_Real_Hidan]

I wonder what the author was thinking making Kato the main character. I mean as a secondary character he's cool with his, "let's save everyone" motto. But as the lead character IN GANTZ?! No, it just doesn't work for me. Kei should have never died.

[Spade]

Well, in the end Kei was also trying to save everybody so it's not a big difference. But maybe Kato dies again soon. It sounds unlikely but in Gantz everyone can die at any time. That's what I like about it. XD

[E-Jo]

did anyone see the cover for chapter 111 it has the picture of the gantz room with kuruno and saukrai and they are surrounded by silouettes of gantz players so that you can't see there face.

does anyone else think this will be the final line up of gantz for the finale? meaning kei will resurrected?

i've also noticed that the other chapters that introduce characters doesn't have this cover, does that mean there gonna die? NOOOOOOOOO! i don't want kaze to die

[Zedthevane]

Why is every1 so sure gantz is a bad guy? every1 that becomes a player died of natural causes until izumi did his thing even then they get a second chance and from izumi and nishi's conversation the world is being over run, hell the vamps would kill normal humans at random, so i mean gantz isnt a saint but he isnt pure evil

in tae's case gantz could have just let her die and not put her in the revive list

[Spade]

Gantz is probably not a "bad guy" but he's undoubtably a [insert random insult here]. People are dying everywhere and stuff and when he gives out points he makes some lame jokes. That's what I call "inappropriate".

[The_Real_Hidan]

Well, in the end Kei was also trying to save everybody so it's not a big difference. But maybe Kato dies again soon. It sounds unlikely but in Gantz everyone can die at any time. That's what I like about it. XD

I guess what I meant to say is Kato is too much of a passifist. He hesitates killing the aliens, he talks a big game about saving everyone but usually is all talk, and he just hesitates too much because of his "Do gooder" attitude. I'm not saying he's a bad character. He's just not main character material in Gantz. Too benevolent and not horny enough.

[The_Real_Hidan]

Gantz is probably not a "bad guy" but he's undoubtably a [insert random insult here]. People are dying everywhere and stuff and when he gives out points he makes some lame jokes. That's what I call "inappropriate".

Plus, he doesn't really give new comers enough info to survive and gives them only half the information they need on the target alien.

[Alberio]

This new chapter rocked in my opinion, these two seem like pretty good characters.:thumbup: I personally wanted to see a mass gathering of aliens like that, if only Kei were around though.:devil:

[Spade]

I guess that's the reason why the Tokyo team was send to Osaka as reinforcements. That's just insane. I doubt even Kei would be able to handle that with only his own team.

(And never again read Mangas at 11pm. Took me 5 pages to realize I was reading from left to right by accident. That's why it didn't make any sense. X.x)

[FoRgOtTeN38]

Gantz targetted Tae because Gantz knew Kurono would bring her back to life. Seeing Kei's incredible skills and knowing he was about to reach 100 points, Gantz basically made it so that Kei would need 200 points to be free.

i can believe that better cuz dude in today's area
a pic means nothing with all the editing around
it's like holding up any horror movie and sayin its real
no1 gonna believe u

and before i didnt mean to say izumi i was talkin bout the guy that got revived (forgot the name kato or whatever) i just forget names with all the mangas i read
kato is just an idiot i mean i can understand killin humans but even alliens??? i mean his survival instincts are pretty lame i would say

also i believe gantz is neutral, he doesnt give ppl info cuz he wants the best to survive (he made this guys as copies or whatever before they died so he's not that bad) he wants to kill more alliens and wants only people with good survival insticts

i mean what kind of idiot would think that everything is a joke when they were just about to die before they got into the gantz room,

[Bankai_Master]

"oh so you care for her"
"no i just want my finger back"
Ace quote ^.^

Yeah thats funny. The latest chapter wasnt that good but i see that next chapter gonna involve alot of deaths.

[hehey]

When i saw all those aliens, i was like WTF, its like planet earth is being invaded.

wasnt there a chapter where korono was on nishi's website, and he read something about how the world was coming to and end and being slowly invaded.

I bet nishi knows exactly whats going down.

[Alberio]

Yeah I know lol, that looked like a full tanker haha.

I wonder if anyone will notice it when Nishi re-updates his site, which he most likely will...and yes the final entry to his website had Kei in it.

[Bankai_Master]

Yeah but we know nishi is strong and he already has died once so we know he isnt that strong?

[Lord Nuri]

man i wish kurono comes back...
gantz without kurono is only half interesting than it was before..
<--is kurono fan
:D

[Alberio]

Please excuse my using your avatar as an example but...

Its like Berserk without Gutts, its not even the same.:mad: Kei woldn't be like all them cowering in fear, like the Dino arc for instance, Kei knew he would have to kill these aliens even though he DIDN'T EVEN HAVE HIS SUIT, to revive those he cared about. Seriously, he is the only character we've seen who is just as badass, maybe even possibly more excluding the Buddha mission, without his suit.

[Lord Nuri]

i totally agree.
by the way: i love gatts :D and im not gay -.-

[hehey]

My worse fear is that kei isnt in the gantz memory for some reason, and he cant be brought back. ive had nightmares about it, not realy.

[Gantz]

who knows, maybe kato will do something crazy, considering the turn of events that's been going on. such as the new weapons and members, with the vampires participating in gantz also.

[Lord Nuri]

do u remember the monster kato took down in osaka? its possible that that one was worth 100 points and so he can call kei back! yay! that would be cool!

[Raiden]

hm it would be cool but i dont think that gantz gives kato for that thing 100points maybe 20 but not more, u know gantz isnt a good guy (maybe also not a bad guy but he is something like a assh***)

[hehey]

kaze might bring korono back, cause you know kaze aint going anywhere, cause of the kid, and he isnt that much of a weapons man anyway.

[Bankai_Master]

Kurono will come back alive I know that for sure as he was the leader of the team one of them will revive him back.

[hehey]

Did anyone notice how in the latest chapter the glases guy had an x-gun connected to a laptop with a microsoft logo on it, that the x-gun has a USB thing. Maby oku (author of gantz) is trying to say that microsoft is behind gantz.

Maby Bill Gates is realy Bill Gantz.

Its just a joke, i dont realy believe this.

[Raiden]

hm i didnt notice it but maybe u are right :lol::lol::lol:

[Spade]

Raiden... You should know as well as I do: Gantz originated in our good old Germany. Not Bill Gates, maybe Angela Merkel? She definitely looks like an alien. :lol:

[Lord Nuri]

bwahaha angela merkel? das istes!
ok i think we have discovered the secret of gantz ^^

[Athos]

I havent figured out how did this manga has lasted this long without giving us the slightest clue about Gantz real nature or where did the vampires come from. Im starting to think noone really cares =/

[hehey]

I havent figured out how did this manga has lasted this long without giving us the slightest clue about Gantz real nature or where did the vampires come from. Im starting to think noone really cares =/

i bet oku (manga artist/author) never even bothered to come up with any explanations.

[Vermillius]

do u remember the monster kato took down in osaka? its possible that that one was worth 100 points and so he can call kei back! yay! that would be cool!

I was thinking the same thing. Also...Kurono's face is at the end of every chapter...he's coming back. Probably at the end of this mission.

Still, I want to see how powerful this Ohka person is. Is he on par with Kurono? We'll see before the mission ends...and it isn't close to ending.

[Spade]

Kurono's face is at the end of every chapter...

The author is probably too lazy making a new end-box and just pasts it at the end of every chapter. :lol:

But not knowing what's going on is actually what I like about Gantz. If we knew, there would only be action left. I wouldn't want to read anymore then.

[Raiden]

Raiden... You should know as well as I do: Gantz originated in our good old Germany. Not Bill Gates, maybe Angela Merkel? She definitely looks like an alien. :lol:

HAHAHAHA :lol::lol::lol: i think u are right good job :thumbup: (man i get hurt in the stoamtch because of laughing :D :lol:)

but yea the confusing thing in this manga is one reason why to read it^^

[khol91]

Does anyone know when the next chapter is to be released? I watched all the anime and thought it had the worst ending ever then I found the manga and now I'm hooked again. Any help would be appreciated.:eban:

[death incarnate]

i think it will be a while for the next chapter. but when i really think about it gantz doesn't really have a plot, i mean it's about people who have died and fight aliens and nothing else has been given except another enemy which are the vampires.

[Raiden]

maybe you are rigth but Gantz is still cool and very action-packed I love it^^

And why you guys doesn't play the Gantz RP? I think it will be cool^^

So go to the RP Corner and play with us the Gantz RP (by now we are only there)

Only at OneManga Forum!!! :D :D ;)

(just move to it here: http://forum.onemanga.com/showthread.php?t=1076 )

[Alberio]

lol I checked it out before coming because I'll finally be able to be in a gantz rp again, there is a website I found not too long back for it too.

I just hope Gantz will stay as it is and develop into something along the themes of how Berserk always has casuality and such, instead of some lighter theme where everyone is completly rejoicing at the end. I mean. I want certain characters to die, but for others to die along the way would be more Gantz-ish. Another thing is that I hope the room never gets to the filling point of that of the Osakan group because that had waaaayy too many people.

I guess I just like how Gantz has a situation where normal people get thrown into this battle against aliens and have this suit/gun and such is just so cool.

I get the feeling that Oku will take a break but the next chapter should come out in another week.

[negitoro]

I think if it's one thing we can expect in Gantz is that main characters will die. I was so shocked early on when certain main characters died.

The whole '100pt revival' thing kind of trivializes the deaths, though. It's gotten to the point when I'm expecting someone to get 100 pts this round and revive Kurono already.

[SKATEateer]

whats so good about this series
like what makes this series stand out from the rest

can someone give me a little description of it?

and is it seinen? mature or something?

[darthalvarez]

wow....this is a really unique story...

imagine that you die

and instead of going...where ever you think ur gonna go, you appear in a room with other unknown people. in the middle of that room you see a huge black ball. on the ball, it says something like "you are dead. what you do with your new lives, is completely up to me...well that's the theory anywayz"

then you are thrust into the dark underground of the world where you encounter aliens, vampires, monsters and more...its a good story, a lil sad but really good

[SKATEateer]

any love involved

[darthalvarez]

yes there is, but it takes time i guess...its a good manga...just dont get too disappointed and stop. i almost did, glad i didnt

[SKATEateer]

ok what point did you almost stop like which chapter

[hehey]

i almost stoped after everyone but korono got killed in the budda mission, but im glad i dint cause it started to get realy ****ed up, and by ****ed up i mean good afterwards.

[darthalvarez]

yea i good disappointed and a lil lost but you know what, its all good. i stuck to it and i got happy. well lets see...it was in like the...well i dont remember what chapter it was...it was terribly sad but the mangaka made up for it

[negitoro]

i almost stoped after XXXXXXXX budda mission, but im glad i dint cause it started to get realy ****ed up, and by ****ed up i mean good afterwards. LOL, use spoiler tags if you're gonna say who dies and stuff... he hasn't even read the series yet and now he knows the outcome of the Buddha mission =P

[Spade]

Well, that's what I actually liked aboput the Buddha mission. I mean, who saw THAT coming?

But it's true, my most favorite characters appear after that. I like those psychics as well as Kaze.

[darthalvarez]

you know, i liked that girl from the Buddha mission....

"would you love me if i killed it?" i got pissed at the main character because of that...

[Blancwulf]

since the last chapter was featuring the osaka team in it, maybe we'll get to see some kl action from now on. cant wait to see the vetrans of gantz, who have cleared the 100ps many times over, in action. :)

[darthalvarez]

but you know...Kei is just as good as those guys...but there is something wrong with those guys...they dont care if people die.

but we just see how bad things are getting so, they should revive Kei pretty soon :)

[Raiden]

yes Kei must come back, I have now read the Dinosaur mission and Kei was really amazing. He s so strong also without his suit.

I want Kei back!!!!!!!! :D

[darthalvarez]

without the main charater, the story is kind of dull...i think. and i loved that love story he had going on. i feel so bad for that girl that loves him just like he loves her but he doesnt remember. so when he is revived, i think he will remember. and he is pretty strong, no doubt about that

[negitoro]

I think this arc doesn't have Kurono in it simply so that we would actually have to figure out who these other people are. The new people (the ones who are left anyway) will be interesting what role they play in the future once Kurono is back.

[darthalvarez]

that is true, you are correct, let them know each other and then Kurono's friend seems to have a fan...something might happen there

[Blancwulf]

but the aliens r getting very powerful as the missions go on. it maybe be harder to revive him if they wait too long. Anyway the vampier guy kicks *** without kei being there. Kei isnt that cool anyway izumi was bette than him

[Raiden]

wah how could you say such a thing?!
Kei is the best^^ maybe at the beginning he is cooler but in any case he is a better fighter than izumi (just red the dinosaur mission again :D )

[hehey]

dino mission is best one

[omgShikagami]

Well I guess a lot of things in Gantz don't make sense. Like why wouldn't Gantz revive it's best players on it's own will? As a matter of fact, why would it let it's best players go in the first place? I think that means Gantz still looks at this as some sort of game or something. I guess that when a manga is this entertaining it doesn't have to make sense :/

Oh and the oni mission what the best.

[negitoro]

LOL it only doesn't make sense because we don't know what Gantz is or what its true purpose is.

Besides, why revive your players when you have an endless pool of people to choose from?

[J.T.]

Because you never know what you'll get... Might just happen a busload of cheerleaders goes crashing down a cliff... Better to have a steady team of people you can rely on...

[Spade]

Well, who knows? Those bus of cheerleaders might actually pwn the aliens. Just look at the other main team mebers. Reika is an idol, that old bald guy is... old and bald and Kei was a wimpy loser. Who knows how Nishi and Izumi were before they were sent to Gantz. Can't really compare their lives before and after death.
The only people who really looked useful (imo) are Kaze and the psychics, as well as that Sniper guy who died in the Buddha mission. I love Snipers, so sad his first mission was his last. :lol:

[omgShikagami]

Yeah but why go through the trouble of retraining those people, remember that everyone there pretty much started out as retards. Which brings up the next point, I think Kato has the ability to become main character material. All he needs to do is stop being a whiny ***** and fight, just like Kurono did. Hell I didn't consider kurono a decent main character until the Dinosaur mission...

[hehey]

kato already a main character, especialy since korono is gone.

[negitoro]

Yeah but why go through the trouble of retraining those people, remember that everyone there pretty much started out as retards.

Hell I didn't consider kurono a decent main character until the Dinosaur mission...
Retraining? Since when does Gantz train at all? Gantz doesn't even tell everyone about the suits, guns and motorcycles in the closet.

So what kind of retraining are we talking about?

Heck, Gantz doesn't even warn people not to leave the area. You'd figure if victory was the absolute priority, Gantz would let people know at least that their heads would blow up.

[darthalvarez]

yea Gantz doesnt care as long as you do the job and i dont think that Kato is main character material. its not kool to have a main character then kill him off and have him not come back

[negitoro]

On the flip side, you could say killing main characters makes the story more interesting.

In nearly all manga, a lot of tension is lost, simply because you know the good guy will win in the end. If in Gantz, main characters die, you'll always be worried about them.

In my opinion, Kato makes a great choice for a main character simply because of his whole personality. It gives his actions more conflict and more drama simply because he's a fish-out-of-water. Kurono kicked a lot of *** and he's certainly the 'cooler' character but after awhile, the flawed hero makes the story more interesting.

[Raiden]

hi gantz loving guys I would like to say it once more^: We have a Gantz-RP^^

so come and play with us, we need more people!

look here: http://forum.onemanga.com/showthread.php?t=1076

[Alberio]

I'm halfway through, but theres a new chapter up, which has a whole lot of points waiting ^^

Heck they could revive Izumi AND Kei. Then again, those two could beat a 100 pointer in my opinion.

From the sounds of things a 100 pointer is very dangerous, but its obvious who amongst the Osakans took it on, though I wasn't expecting one thing there.

[SilverKunai]

.....Kei BETTER get revived.

[Alberio]

You agree with me that those darn points should be used on HIM? I wanna see him take on one of those 100 pointers though. all I can say is that Kato is gonna have his butt handed to him.

[JlN]

Who'd revive Izumi though? Eh, probably'll bring him back like Nishi. I wish new chapters would come out faster. =l

I'm still wondering if Kei really is still in the Gantz memory bank though.

[The_Real_Hidan]

.....Kei BETTER get revived.

It seems like it's no point now. If he does, he'll just come back as a non-Gantz member and still not be a part of the series. I wonder if the aurthor of Gantz realizes that Kei is to Gantz what Stifler is to American Pie. He IS the series and should always be the main character. Kato is more like Jim. Just as important to the series, but as American Wedding proved, not as important as the Stifler.

[The_Real_Hidan]

Who'd revive Izumi though? Eh, probably'll bring him back like Nishi. I wish new chapters would come out faster. =l

I'm still wondering if Kei really is still in the Gantz memory bank though.

Yeah right. You think those psychics or Kei are going to let anyone revive Izumi? Hell, do you think anyone who was defending Tae would revive Izumi? And Nishi's arrogant self wouldn't revive anyone as we all know. He didn't even try to save him on the train.

[The_Real_Hidan]

On the flip side, you could say killing main characters makes the story more interesting.

In nearly all manga, a lot of tension is lost, simply because you know the good guy will win in the end. If in Gantz, main characters die, you'll always be worried about them.

In my opinion, Kato makes a great choice for a main character simply because of his whole personality. It gives his actions more conflict and more drama simply because he's a fish-out-of-water. Kurono kicked a lot of *** and he's certainly the 'cooler' character but after awhile, the flawed hero makes the story more interesting.

Kurono was the flawed hero. He always hesitated to do what was right due to selfish feelings and was extremely perverted. He aimed to be a perfect hero like Kato.

Kato is a pure do gooder who, currently, is only hesitating because these people keep putting thoughts in his head. But he pretty much only wants one thing. To escape Gantz and maybe revive Kurono. But he may not end up doing the latter.

[Spade]

I think it's pretty obvious now that Kei will be revived. I'd almost say it's a fact, seeing that 100-points alien.

But even without it, look at all those small ones. If any of those just gives 1 point it would be enough to revive him twice. XD

[Raiden]

yeah thats true^^ so I hope Kato make the thing, I want Kurono back in the story. I know he wouldn't be a Gantz-Member but maybe he will die another time like Izumi and he is back :D

[E-Jo]

did anyone give thought that any member of the osaka team will steal the 100 points from kato meaning killing it first before kato will and using it to supe up there gun.

and those two dudes who first found the 100-pointer...there so dead

[FoRgOtTeN38]

it dont matter i believe kato will get 100 points either way somehow and revive kurono
and i believe Kurono will be in gantz just like kato when he got revived

[Duststorm]

I have a feeling that quite a few people are going to be killed by the 100 point alien because of what the Osaka gantz team said,that when they fought a 100 point alien a third of the team got killed. Also when Kato said that he will kill the 100 point alien the rest of them just react to as a joke and seem confident that he going to die

[Alberio]

Yeah..and Kato is a pacifist sooooo >_> bleed buddy

Without help, Kato will die against it and I doubt the majority of the Tokyo team are gonna do crap but sit around, reminds me of what Kei did and we all remember his punishment...

I don't think the two boys are going to die, yet....The guy who wants to get 100 points reminds me of Kei, the human roach. ^^

[Spade]

i believe Kurono will be in gantz just like kato when he got revived

But unlike Kato, Kei did not die as a member of the Gantz team. He will be revived in his normal life, like his girlfriend was, without any memory.

[omgShikagami]

What I'm hoping and think may happen(but ya never know with this crazy bastard mangaka) That the 100 pointer will like take out all of the great Osaka members kinda like an example of what will happen, really messy, but Kato finds a way to beat it or something like that. Well thats what I hope will happen, may make Kato look cool at least( he's got the hair of a badass, just nothing else).

[JlN]

Yeah right. You think those psychics or Kei are going to let anyone revive Izumi? Hell, do you think anyone who was defending Tae would revive Izumi? And Nishi's arrogant self wouldn't revive anyone as we all know. He didn't even try to save him on the train.


You never know, honestly I never thought Nishi would come back but *poof* there he is.

Mm the Osaka team isn't very interesting, I hope they all show their super weapons then die, though that 700 point guy is really mysterious.

Kurono did remember who he was in the last moments before he was killed, so maybe if he can be revived he'll somehow end up involved with Gantz again. He is, afterall, the main character.

[kurinmoka]

does anyone know when is the next release?

[Alberio]

Not really, usually it releases every two weeks, and it should say the date of the next one at the bottom of the last page, but its in Japanese...

[negitoro]

I think it's pretty obvious now that Kei will be revived. I'd almost say it's a fact, seeing that 100-points alien.

But even without it, look at all those small ones. If any of those just gives 1 point it would be enough to revive him twice. XD

How hard would it be for him to defeat 100 aliens (even the small ones) using his freakin' capture gun? I don't even know if those ropes would even hope to contain a 100pt alien... so um... how exactly is he going to do it?

[domomonster]

Gantz is gonna get good soon, I can sense a wicked sic battle comin up, and hopefully Kato revives Kei, cause without him its just not the same...

[Vermillius]

Wow...reading this thread...you guys are underestimating Kato sooooo much. Kato was the one who beat that Buddha Alien. We don't know how much that one was worth either, but that was definitely the second strongest boss since the lightning oni.

The 3S each scored 100 points. And all three of them combined couldn't beat that monster. Kato defeated that monster with just the capturing gun.

So far on this mission Kato has beaten 3 monsters. The Cyclops, the Frog, and the Giant Troll. We don't know how many points they were worth. The frog was probably worth one, and the cyclops couldn't have been worth more than 4, but that troll was probably worth a lot of points.

Kurono is going to be revived at the end of this mission. The question is, what will his memories be. I think we are in for a plot twist. Kurono is going to be revived from the time he took his freedom. He's going to come back in the room and be angry.

[FoRgOtTeN38]

well gantz will make a recall to the last known form of kurono in his memory
which is before he decided to get out of the game
I don't think he kept keeping track of kurono and savin that info in his memory
just a guess though

[Spade]

The last record of Kurono should be "got 100 points and chose option A", everything after that can't be in his database of course.
On the other hand Gantz could know what he did. Keep in mind that the "real" Kurono is dead and Gantz created a copy of him (that's what happens to all Gantz-players), so it's possible that his afterlife, as unimportant as it may be, is still being recorded by Gantz. I doubt Gantz's memory is limited to a few Gigabytes. XD

[Alberio]

Well, I agree with what Spade said, but I'm not sure if he'll come back into the room so I hope he dies again. If he does get revived in the room, he'll have to try to remember everything like he did when he left Gantz.

[Raiden]

yeah I think so to, btu I'm full of hope, when he doesnt get revived in he room he will die another time otherwise the manga wouldnt be same if Kurono doesnt rejoin gantz-team

[omgShikagami]

That was a great chapter, I kinda saw something like that coming but still great. A looooooot of people are going to die huh?

[Raiden]

this was a badass chapter, really cool... but why had the alien attack the 1point aliens? and it is so freaking that he can live only with his head^^

[The_Real_Hidan]

On the other hand Gantz could know what he did. Keep in mind that the "real" Kurono is dead and Gantz created a copy of him (that's what happens to all Gantz-players),

That's one of the theories, but it's not a fact.

[Blancwulf]

lets just put kei n izumi aside for now n forget bout them. Look at the osaka team they have a rapist, sadist - madmen, uptight chicks, new technology (point scanner), 100-point gun. N to top it all off they have a mega player who has cleared 100 pts 7 times! wat more can u ask for? i dont wat it ruined by kei n izumi coming back.

n i hope kato-cha (lol) dies, he is starting to piss me off, all talk no action. n i wonder wat will happen to vamp ppl who ended up in gantz, will they join the ppl who they r supposed to hunt donw?

[Raiden]

its very difficult to read your post, cant you write a little bit more normal?

and I think Kie wouldnt ruin anything, he is cool and when Kato is willing he can be strong, we have seen at the Buddha mission

[Lord Nuri]

i dont give a **** about kato or the others, but i want kurono back!
Gantz without kei is just not the same as before.....

kei kicks ***!

[who?what?where?]

I think that kei will be back soon, after all he IS the main character, right?

[Raiden]

YES you both are right^^ gantz without Kei is like OnePiece without Luffy :D (sorry I couldnt thougt of an other example...)

[beakedbard]

Nah i think its still good without him especially with teh Osaka team.

[who?what?where?]

YOU FOOL!! Gantz is nothing without Kei, you hear me, NOTHING!!!!

[Alberio]

I would like Kei back, but with a large amount of strong people around I'm starting to wonder how the others would fare without the two of them or the Osakans help while in Osaka. I just find it weird that Gantz would not have noticed all these aliens around and just didn't have them wiped out before he would need multiple teams.

[beakedbard]

I must admit i do miss the dude that massacred everyone he was cool XD

[Zombie lord]

I'm really pulling for the vampires here. Host Samurai is would definitely be in my top five Gantz characters.
Also kei does makes Gantz, he needs to return.

[who?what?where?]

Kei WILL come back, or else there is no hope.

[cookieness]

hmm..i hope kurono gets revived after teh osaka mission T_T
can't imagine having katou as the new leader..he's way too
righteous ><

and yea, hope kurono ends up w/ reika instead of tae..tae's eyes
are freaky.

and and and..why does the cute girls always flock around katou?!
i mean..that kei girl and that osakan gantz player.

hope the gantz participants get into a pinch with really strong
monsters then suddenly gantz sends kurono+izumi as reinforcements.
that'd be cool :D

[aluCard_pX]

kei's gotta be revived! his the uber main char here!

oh.. and i agree with you.. kei should definitely end up with reika! but.. if that happens reika will die!

most of the girls that get involved with kei all end up dead >_<

except for tae.. hope reika doesnt die!:skull:

[Spade]

Tae died as well, she got revived. Why not revive Reika when she dies? Nothing's impossible here. :lol:

[beakedbard]

Hmmm is it me or is this arc lasting quite a while i mean i know they gotta introduce all the kyoto charas and all but still...

[Spade]

Of course it's big. It's the first arc of "Gantz: Second Stage" and so many rules changed. There's so many things going on... it will still take some time I guess.

[cookieness]

i agree..the opening arc of the second phase is supposed to
be long because of the many changes and the many new faces..

BUT!

if by the end of this arc, after defeating all those monsters
and after killing that 100-pointer, kei is still not revived..

im am so gonna trash gantz! :eek:

[aluCard_pX]

yeah me too! gantz will be boring without kei =(

[mavericking]

although at first kei is a jerk ..... well , at least he gives off taht jerkish aura , he is TEH 1337 HAXORZ lol

[Alberio]

lol But the very beginning of the manga did have some good points in it when Kei was like that.

At first I thought he was a lot like Nishi since he had his opinion on others and his personality would have made him very good at killing, so I'd say if it wasn't for Katou being there he might've ended up like Nishi.

Nishi=mostly a jerk in this post. Too bad he kicks a** while doing so.^^ Kei is a human roach(as I've probably said before) he can fight well and seems to never die. Don't trash the series though, things are still good, just not fantastic at the moment.

[cookieness]

haha i agree!

early in the series, there were a lot of moments when kei got on my nerves..specially when he kissed the naked kei kishimoto in his 1st time in the gantz room..he really looked like a damn pervert!

but as the series went on, he became quite a kickass male lead
specially in the buddha arc where he fought those giants and showing
everyone how powerful the gantz suit when efficiently used.

ofcourse there was the dinosaur arc where he demonstrated his battle prowess even without his suit. he looked really cool while facing of with those jurassic freaks!

hmm..when put into an equation, maybe...

gantz = kei+reika+gore

gantz - kei = doraemon/mojacko or maybe worse :eban:

[Raiden]

who is gore? Oo but yeah I also agree, but that is the interesting thing. Kei evolope from a jerk to a *** kicking fighter who is a good leader^^

[chakhar86]

yea.. I wonder when he will back

[Spade]

who is gore?

It's not "Who?", it's "What?". Gore is what this type of brutality is called. Splattering aliens/humans and stuff...

[mavericking]

i just hope katou gets the 100point kill .......... or transport it .... up there :P

[cookieness]

yeah..i hope katou could kill that..BUT!

its been mentioned early in the series and its also been shown
a couple of times how 'kind' katou is to the aliens..
i highly doubt that katou will be able to kill it specially when it
transforms into that little girl/woman form..

also, lets not forget that nishi is alive again..that selfish bastard!
oh yes..and that 700-pointer dude from osaka gantz ><

oh well..lets all hope for the best! :D

[Blancwulf]

wait if kato-cha revives kei. the wouldnt it all go back to where it started? it'll be same as pharse one right? i dont wanna see the whole kei going from nerd>hero thing over n over agian its going to get old. they should just focus on the osaka team. N add a gd twist like the pro 700-pointers is a transexuall or knows izumi so we can see the revival of the psychotic swordsman! yh!

[Spade]

Ganz stage two has nothing to do with "replacing Kei with Kato", it's about the rules being changed drastically. Even with Kei being back it will definitely not be like Stage 1.

[cookieness]

@ blancwulf

uhm..when revived in gantz, it doesnt mean that their personality
and memories will be reverted back to the first time they entered
the gantz room. its like an MMORPG, when you die @ lvl5, you
will be revived @ lvl5..though kei's points would be reverted back
to zero..

[Alberio]

I wonder if Gantz has some sort of database that stores aliens, or do they really just get sended off somewhere in space.

I personally don't want Kato to transfer the 100 pointer, a) They would have to break the less points rule if I remember right and b) he doesn't deserve to be the one to beat it.

[mavericking]

well . maybe . but at least he should get 50 points on transfers

[cookieness]

hmm..i think they should get more points when transferring
because killing a very hostile and powerful monster is way
easier than capturing it..when killing, you only worry about
yourself being killed (in katou's case, he'l worry more about
his team members than himself) but in transferring, he'l
worry about himself, his team members and the monster.

[Raiden]

but sending is much easier than killing, just like in the buddha mission.
The Buddha boss couldnt be killed with the guns but he could have send him with the capture-gun never mind how strong the alien is, so I think you would get lesser points for just sending the monster

[cookieness]

well..that depends on the situation..

for the buddha mission, the buddha boss CAN be killed
with a gun..the player's mistake is that they didn't target
the regenerator in one of it's hands giving it a somewhat
immortality.

how about the dinosaur mission?
tell me, how can a hand gun that size restrain a 50-foot
monster? maybe its possible, but, they have to use maybe
10 or 30 restraining guns and before the whole dinosaur
gets transferred, it could have already escaped and killed
a number of people.

[beakedbard]

New chapter 258 http://www.sendspace.com/file/4rx2y2 ^^ *waits for an uploader to notice*

[Raiden]

oh man what an chapter, I have never seen so much ugly aliens before in Gantz, but nice idea from the one with the glasses to use the eyebeams of the 100pointer to kill the aliens, too bad that they could evasion, I hope soon some other guys come to these aliens and kil lthem, hopefully also kato^^

[Spade]

That guy running around with the alien head was just LOL. An awesome sight. XD

But I only noticed in this chapter, on page 2 ("Veteran Osaka fighter"): Was the guy who died recently the 700-points guy? How can I miss a vital detail like that? :lol:

[Alberio]

LOL Its Godzilla!!!

But god, imagine the points he could've gotten with that head. *sigh* Get a great gantzer in there and watch the boyd parts fly.^_^ Um...I don't think that kid ws the 700 point guy, but he probably had around 50 points maybe.

[Mangawatcher]

The guy with the glasses carring the head beaming monster was funny.
to bad something messed is about to happen to him.

[Alberio]

Yeah it was funny yet..I wish he wasn't so afraid, he might've had a chance of living with the commotion he woould've been making. I don't see any chance for him without some a** whipping gantzer rushing in to save him.

[Raiden]

LOL Its Godzilla!!!

But god, imagine the points he could've gotten with that head. *sigh* Get a great gantzer in there and watch the boyd parts fly.^_^ Um...I don't think that kid ws the 700 point guy, but he probably had around 50 points maybe.

hmmm I think he was the 700 pointer, but maybe I'm wrong so we will see, truly it would be a little bit lame if he was the 700 pointer

[Alberio]

One thing to think about, the points off of smashing that head since that SHOULD kill the alien...

I might have the rp up from later today to possibly Thursday its just depends on the time I get.

[Zombie lord]

Was it just me or did those pedestrians seem pretty calm seeing Godzilla.

also I can't remember if she stated her number of times through, but I'm just going to guess the chick hanging out with kato is the 700 pointer.

[domomonster]

Haha, nice work with that guy using the eye-beam head!

[Spade]

I was expecting him tripping and blowing his own head away with those eye-beams... :lol:

[mavericking]

I was expecting him tripping and blowing his own head away with those eye-beams... :lol:

for some reason , me too

[domomonster]

It sorta looked like it was biting him at one point... Maybe just me, but it seriously did!

[Dragon Pwns You]

I hate cliff hangers...But Gantz ALWAYS does it.

I like how strong the Osaka team is,Kinda gives hope for the Tokyo team.

[mavericking]

.... hmmm ...... 20 pages in a month . .......... damn . tooooooooooo much time in between chapters with so little essence

[Spade]

...month? I thought Gantz was a weekly release and I'm fairly certain that I'm right. If it was monthly, regarding this has 258 chapters... it would have been running for over 20 years already. :lol:

[Pansori]

I thought it was bi weekly. :confused:

[Spade]

There are 2-week releases? I didn't know but sounds logical. I knew the chapters were too long for "normal" weekly releases and too short for monthlies...

[Pansori]

OK, I did a check. Gantz use to be weekly, but went biweekly because the mangaka has other manga projects that he works on.

[mavericking]

okay ..... wrong numbers ........ yeah . it started bi after somewhere :P

[Acidrain]

...how come no one is talking on here?

anyways gantz is just becoming more and more complicated...

[Pansori]

There wasn't much to talk about this last chapter, other than that hilarious running scene with the head.

[Alberio]

I beleive it became bi weekly during the dino arc...

More complicated? Its the same as before but Oku has just twisted rules and added in a few rules. Its not too much of a change, to me its quite refreshing and not hard to think out all the things that have happened during this Osaka arc.

But yeah v_v not much to talk about in this new chapter, but at least it held my interest for awhile.

[Acidrain]

I think the rules have changed for a reason...and whats up with being in the same area as another team? And whats with the giant black ball in germany?

But anyways, i dont think kurono can come back...i mean...he died in REAL LIFE...i dont think gantz can ressurect people who werent in a mission when they died

[Manga-Dude]

never heard of this manga are this is a good manga?

[Pansori]

never heard of this manga are this is a good manga?

If you like large breasts, lots of violence and creative death scenes than this is the manga for you.


@Acid: I dunno, I would think Kurono has to come back, he was the main protagonist, after all. I like Kato, but Kurono had so much more personality. I want Kurono back!

[Zombie lord]

It's good in my opinion.


Anyway I have to say the current mission is pretty boring, excluding the vampire sword fight.

[Spade]

But anyways, i dont think kurono can come back...i mean...he died in REAL LIFE...i dont think gantz can ressurect people who werent in a mission when they died

When he is in Gantz database, they can be revived. Kurono's girlfriend whateverhernamewas was also revived and I don't recall her ever being on a mission. ^^

[mavericking]

yeah . and kei was definitely in gantzs database . so , he can come back . and also , how do you think they got there in the first place

[beakedbard]

http://www.sendspace.com/file/6xken7

It ish not on the main site yet so i thought i'd share it.

[Acidrain]

well..yeah...good points...but still, kei died ON mission! She was the target and died...i dont think gantz can help them if they died for their own reasons outside of the missions

[mavericking]

if someone with 100 points wants to revive someone in the database , gantz can do it

[Zombie lord]

hypothetically if they don't bring back kei, who do do you hope takes his role as main character.
I say anyone, but kato.

[Alberio]

Sadly the only one who could replace his skill is Izumi, so probably Reika and, sadly, Kato are very likely canidates.

It would be freaky yet very new to see Nishi as a temporary leader. XD Not that he would bother to save anyone or work as a team.

[Zombie lord]

One unlikely but cool possible leader is Host Samurai. Even if only temporary it would be awsome. He has the skills; he took down both kei and Izumi. It also be a nice chance to finally clarify what exactly the vampires are.

[x04ty29er]
