Gantz || phase 2 is go!!

[KuronoX54]

I want an epic showdown between American Gantzers and European ones. Europe being the winner of course :LOS
All Hail Brittania

[Sin]

It definitely should be LA.

"YO YO HOMIES, KILLIN' SUM DEMONZ"
Katou: :argh

[Penance]

^^^ Thank u for agreeing. It is reassuring that I am not alone...but then again, it was never in doubt.

@Penance: Anzu?!?!? Who is that??? :headscrat

Forgive me for my memory. But after all the hype, when the Oka team got annihilated (minus Katou's new fangirl), I lost all respect and seemed to have subconsciously and systematically forgotten all the member's names.

EDIT: I still remember Oka. So everyone minus Oka. He died an off-panel death. That's gotta be the worst way to die. The mangaka deems you so worthless, he/she relegates you to a status less than fodder. That means u were destined for FAIL OKA.


I apologize if I come off as vindictive at the moment...I read some Code Geass spoilers...

I JUST CAN'T STAND THAT TABLE-HUMPING BITCH THAT IS NINA...HOW STUPID COULD SHE BE?!?!!?!??!

Anzu's the fangirl...

Side: Look on the bright side-at least Nina hasn't been geassed by Lelouch...yet...:pek

[SENTINEL]

I'm happy Host is back.

[Ooter]

whizzed through all chapters in 3days.... but damn mangaka made a big mistake in killing oka he was epic!

[Shikashi]

He? Was? Some shitty ass... that-black-dude-from-Bleach rip-off.

Only thing that can save this Manga now is a Team based on Dragon Ball... oh, fuck yes. Dragon Team, I can already see it.

[Red]

So male hostess is awesome, fuck yeah. Maybe after this they'd get on with the plot.

[Hibari Kyoya]

Sexy Host Samurai or sexy Nishi panel time please :LOS

[Nash]

I agree :hoho

[Red]

I hope nishi doesn't die from blood loss, or any of them for that matter :(

[Ooter]

Nishi must live. Fight is over nxt chap then it'll be daily life, and lol at how that Osaka chick asking to live with Kato.

[Shikashi]

They gonna have sexy time, and then Kato's brother pops up and... MORE SEXY TIME, DP!

[Ooter]

That girl is like the next hot hot girl, she better not die and kurono beter be revived soon:pek
tough i have doubts he will, it might be too soon for Oku.

[Yoburi]

Gantz needs Kurono back more than ever after this trash arc but Host Samurai kill steal Nuri points so maybe Host will get his free pass out of gantz.

[mmzrmx]

He prob won't leave without his fodder partner, so I don't see him going yet. I wonder how many points he has though, he did kill those 2 aliens that seemed to be fairly high level aswell as Nuri from the looks of it(hopefully).

[Yoburi]

^He just got 100 points and when he lost his finger it was clear that he don't give a shit about her and he only cares about his missing finger.

[Mat®icha]

it never gets old.

i want kurono baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack:yell dammit:C

current dude is sooo boring.

[Nash]

Only a few more hours till the raw's out. Can't wait. Must.find.something.to.do :argh

[Sin]

The wound sure looked a lot bigger last chapter...

[Nash]

Yeah, I wonder if this is Oku's mistake and he simply forgot about it or if it has something to do with Nuri's regeneration..I doubt it though. I blame Oku.

[Juubi]

needs moar kurono

[Tayimus]

@Nash: thanks for the spoiler!!!

I thought I saw that the chapter wasn't coming out till August 7. Oh well, I'm glad it's coming out period. :del

I thank God Reika looks calm. At the least she is the only one breathing through the her nose and doesn't seem to be losing it. Both Sakurai and Anzu are practically panicking, panting through their mouths. And I won't even mention Katou, the King of breathing hard for no reason. :sun

[Penance]

Sweet cover...

[Shikashi]

Why did they have to shoot him... like, seriously, the dude was getting all philosophical and shit.

[Lastier]

We don't need Kurono, if we have HS.

[Sin]

We don't need Kurono, if we have HS.
No, we don't need HS if we have Izumi.

Izumi/Kurono > All those newfags (aside from Kaze, he's pretty cool)

[Penance]

No, we don't need HS if we have Izumi.

Izumi/Kurono > All those newfags (aside from Kaze, he's pretty cool)

Those two rule the world...

[AbnormallyNormal]

why would you say izumi or kurono are better than HS? HS killd them both lol. and nishi knows more than them both. nishi + HS >>>>>>>>>> izumi + kurono

canon

[Tayimus]

Kurono/Izumi had the odds ridiculously against them. Kurono more so than Izumi.

Izumi had to fight like 50 vamps before he confronted Hikawa. Even then Hikawa targeted Izumi's girlfriend. Izumi saved her (:uwah) and got killed for it.

Kurono also had to fight like 50 enemies. However, he didn't have his suit and didn't have any Gantz weapons. He didn't even have all his memories and he still kicked ass. Then Hikawa comes in and holds up Akira's head, agitating Kurono. That's when Hikawa slashed him.

Sorry, but from canon, it looks like Hikawa had to use tricks to kill Kurono/Izumi. They were just that badass. :awesome

</argument>

HS is badass, but saying he can replace the epic win that were Kurono/Izumi is ridiculous.

Also, Nishi? LOL.

That guy is such a fag.

[Penance]

Izumi seems to know just as much as Nishi (they were partners), and he's deadlier... but HS practically killed an unarmed Kurono (take away HS' sword, and then they'd be even)...

EDIT: LOL, HS killed Izumi similar to the way he (most likely ) killed Nurarihyon...Izumi's a 100 pointer...

[Sin]

Except HS is a vampire and Kurono is a human.

Kurono was a regular human, and still managed to kick as much ass as he did before dying.

[Penance]

Exactly...

[Mr. Stud Muffin]

We don't need Kurono, if we have HS.

I cannot believe you just said that. The hell's with this blasphemy.

Don't get me wrong. I like the Host Samurai. Though I am straight, I have a thing for guys dressed in Dolce & Gabbana black suits who wield katanas and can kill aliens.

But still. I'd much rather have Kurono. He's like friggin' Benjamin Linus from LOST. You know...the dude that's like "Don't worry. How many times have I told you? I always have a plan." Next thing you know, he takes out 5 mercenaries armed with AK-47s and semi-automatic machine guns. Funny thing is...the only thing in his hand is just a pistol.

[Tayimus]

</argument>

HS is badass, but saying he can replace the epic win that were Kurono/Izumi is ridiculous.

Huh? I think you misunderstood me. I meant that Kurono/Izumi is way more badass than Hikawa (HS). Hikawa had to resort to underhanded tactics to beat either of them. We're saying the same thing. I think...

[Sin]

I didn't misunderstand you, my "</argument>" means your post is sufficient proof of the win that were Izumi/Kurono.

I then go on to say that I like HS, but I much prefer Izumi/Kurono.

[Tayimus]

:oh

Oh. My bad...

Well, anyway, HS is badass. Just not on the level of Kurono/Izumi. If there's a chance that Kurono comes back Lastier and AbnormallyNormal can keep Hikawa. :hmpf

Otherwise, yeah, Hikawa is the most badass on the Tokyo team (cept maybe Kaze). I'm rooting for him.

[Penance]

Kaze has reached high levels of awesomeness...

[Tayimus]

Kaze vs. Hikawa! Who do you guys think would win?

I can't really decide... :hmm?

[Penance]

Kaze vs. Hikawa! Who do you guys think would win?

I can't really decide... :hmm?

Hard to say. Kaze's like Kurono in the sense that he has the FIGHTING SPIRIT!

Hikawa is...Hikawa. Kaze will hold his own, to say the least-just throw the kid in front of a bus...

[Tayimus]

While, I agree with you on Kaze having the fighting spirit, you gotta remember that he only uses his body.

This is what makes me hesitate. While Kurono would use his katana, guns, and hand-to-hand (hell, he'd use anything!), Kaze limits himself to just his fighting techniques. Could he really beat Hikawa, who uses his own sword, firearm, and is already a very good fighter? I dunno...

Sakata and Sakurai's main attack pattern was to spam their psychic abilities-and they almost killed Hikawa's main squeeze...If Kaze plays to his strengths, he has a better chance of winning. Let's not forget that Kurono didn't get killed until he charged HS head on (A tactic that doesn't quite compliment him)...

I'm only talking of Hikawa and Kaze though. I only mentioned Kurono cause you compared him to Kaze.

Let's put it this way-

Kaze- Exceptional fighter, only uses hand-to-hand.

Hikawa- Exceptional fighter, also uses katana and gun.

I'm saying Hikawa is a good fighter based off how he WTFPWNED Akira, who in turn defeated a champion vamp fighter (I believe). It just seems that Kaze is at a disadvantage...

Oh, and Gantz 277 Raw is out-

RapidShare: Easy Filehosting (http://rapidshare.com/files/132017558/277_for_GO.zip)

Scans aren't good but it's better than nothing.

Katou again proves he's pussy and Anzu proves she is a dumbass. :facepalm

[Nash]

Thanks :iria

Awesome chap. I still don't have any respect for Gantz girls, but I admit, Reika was quite impressive with her calm attitute. Anzu on the other hand. You know. At first I only hated her for being an annoying fangirl but this chapter..whadda bitch. She wants to save the love of her life..although she has a child..waiting for her :sag
Hm, I'm a bit disappointed that Cherry didn't do that much :/
Hikawa just saved the manga :high

Katou-cha, why j00 4lw4ys l0se l1mb

HS and Nishi for main characters =]

[Mat®icha]

was that vamire dude to kill him off? tell me it was him:high

[SchmoozingWouter]

Hey I just started reading Gantz yesterday, currently on Chapter 25, and I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me (if it is eventually explained later on in the manga just tell me that).

When they were sent out to kill/send (what ever it is) the aliens no one could see them or the alien... like they were invisible. But after they were taken back to the apartment and went home everyone could see them again. Like nothing had ever happened... well with exception to Titz and the fact that the original her didn't die. So are they only invisible when they are out on a mission/when they use their suits to turn invisible like Nishi did right before he left the apartment?

[Tayimus]

Usually they are invisible only during missions, whether they're wearing suits or not. It has to do with different frequencies they're on. However there is a device that can enable them to be invisible even outside missions. You've probably seen it or will see it. Nishi has it, but they all can use one.

I've actually theorized that there are 3 frequencies. There's the normal one. Regular Humans operate on this one. Then there is the Alien one, which of course Aliens live on, but also Gantz missions are carried out on this one. Then there is the Gantz frequency. This one is accessed by using the control that Nishi loves. I say it's seperate cause both Aliens and Humans can't see someone on this frequency.

[KuronoX54]

Nevermind I read it

[Yoburi]

Oh Fuck this HS if Kato didn't got his 100points we will never see Kurono again and this manga needs the TRUE main character back i can't take that Kato anymore he is just ridiculos and Anzu too i say Kurono and Reika FTW.

[Sin]

"So, HS, what will you do with your 100 points?"
"I've always felt like rematch with that Izumi guy..."

Winrar.

[KuronoX54]

^ That's a posibility

[Tayimus]

Oh Fuck this HS if Kato didn't got his 100points we will never see Kurono again and this manga needs the TRUE main character back i can't take that Kato anymore he is just ridiculos and Anzu too i say Kurono and Reika FTW.

Emboldened for the fucking truth. :gar

"So, HS, what will you do with your 100 points?"
"I've always felt like rematch with that Izumi guy..."

Winrar.

:hmm?

Looking at it that way, it's more possible that Hikawa would wish Izumi back than Kurono. :awesome

Although, I think both scenarios are unlikely in the end. :scry

[Sin]

Maybe HS will realize that since he's stuck in the game (I doubt he would choose to leave), he'll need all the strong players he can get, and thus, wishes back Izumi/Kurono.

God that would kick ass :wtf :wtf

[Tayimus]

I second that. :wtf

That'd be beautiful...:cry I almost couldn't imagine seeing the Gantz team that stomped again...

[Tayimus]

That'd be beautiful...:cry I almost couldn't imagine seeing the Gantz team that stomped again...

Seriously! Could you imagine how much win it'd be to have Kurono, Izumi, Kaze, and Hikawa all working together. I'd wet myself every chapter!!!

I'd love to add Sakurai to that list but he needs to man up first. He was badass against the fire demon but that was it.

Nishi... I'd rather not say. I've already questioned Hikawa, if I say something about Nishi, Nash might kill me. :oh

[Nash]

Hello thar :awesome

Hikawa and Izumi in one team? Too much awesomeness..my panties can't take so much win :high

You guys will sooner or later find out why Nishi's awesome.
Just you wait :pek:LOS:pek:LOS:pek

[Sin]

I really don't like Nishi, but I'm re-reading the arc since Kurono left (I like pain :( ) to refresh my memory, since I marathoned Gantz in about a day (All 200-something chapters) the first time, and my memory is a little fuzzy.

GANTZ [0277] END
Next chapter: The osakan arc reaches its climax!
August 7th, blah

Got it from Requiem46 on StopTazmo. Mind you, this is a translation of the spanish translation of the japanese raw. So, some things might get lost in translation. Okay, that enough "trans" outta me.

Anyway, I take back what I said bout Cherry. He gets no love from me. And Reika is the only one that seems to be calm and composed. She's getting used to this shit! I, however, am not getting used to her. Not by a long shot. :wink

[Nash]

No no no..I just can tell when someone mentions Nishi's name :LOS

Lolololololol.."we made it". Suuuuure.

You gotta love the convo in the chaps. Aaahh, ooooh, aaahh, uuuh. Katou's panting. Ahhh. Ohhh. Katou's crying. Ahh. Uhhh.

Y'know, take that outta context and it sounds like Katou finally gettin some. Finally... :wink

Pag 6
Katou: Now I can!
I can get out of here!

Was I the only person to lol at this? By "Now I can!" I thought Katou meant I can bring back Kei-chan! But nooooo it's- "I can get out of here." Flippin Wuss... :C It just made me chuckle. :hehee

[Nash]

Oh shi- with all his panting, I didn't even notice that Katou was actually talking :argh

I want Ayumu to replace Teh Wussy-boy :C

[Sin]

Lol Katou.

Kurono would have pwned that thing without his arms OR legs. He would have licked the trigger.

I liked the lonely mother-girl too :(

Hopefully it all ends before she dies.

[Nash]

Thanks :iria

Omg "A sacrifice was given, darkness overflowed and then..his time came!!". Fuuuuck..I totally came :smoke

As much as I hate Katou, you gotta give him props for at least trying to attack Nuri without his legs. I'd say he was pretty decent this chap or at least the last few panels :/

And srsly, Anzu's a slut. She chose Katou's life over her kid. That's just pathetic :pek

[Athrum]

Mmmm i think Katou will still fire that weapon next chapter.

[Tayimus]

Oh shi- with all his panting, I didn't even notice that Katou was actually talking :argh

Sadly, Ayumu definitely got more balls than Katou. The kid is like 12 years old living by himself. Ayumu would definitely be badass.

Lol Katou.

Lol Katou.

Kurono would have pwned that thing without his arms OR legs. He would have licked the trigger.

well it is a problem. If he's not careful gantz will wipe his memory of everything. when that happens he'll become a mission objective and the gantzteam will kill him and if he stays he'll constantly have the bomb in his head so gantz can kill him any time

Damn that Black ball is smart.

[Grandia]

I dont understand the Katou hate :pek

[Nash]

Hikawa'll probably choose a new weapon. There's also a veeery slim chance that he'll revive that vampire girl if she dies. No way he's gonna free himself. He'd forget everything he knows about the Gantzers. So yeah..H-Gun GET?! :argh

He hates the Gantzers, he doesn't want to become like them. He didn't wear the Gantz suit, he won't use the weapons.

He'd lose all his cool points if he started using guns like everyone else.

There's no telling what he'll do with his 100 points, but I'm hoping he'll revive someone epic.

[Tayimus]

I hate Katou cause some people love him and he don't do shit. Maybe I'm still sore over the Kishimoto thing. I mean the girl loved Katou for who he was, right? But Katou was just imitating Kurono when he was younger. So really Kishimoto was in love with 12 year old Kurono. On top of that, Katou was Team Leader but depended on Kurono in nearly all their missions together, he was barely a real leader. Yet, Katou still gets Kishimoto's love. And the kicker is that Kurono was letting her live with him (whatever the reason!). She was just using him, she didn't like him at all (the anime screws this part up). But the one she was really in love with in the end was Kurono.

It all just makes me hate Katou sometimes... Though I did feel bad when he died during the Ratenin Temple Arc... :(

[Nash]

I'm kinda torn when it comes to Katou. I really, reaaally hate his attitude. Yet I don't want him to die. I mean, the boy has a tough life. No parents, lived with the abusive rest of the family, the only girl he gets was blown up and he has to take care of his brother while he's hunting down aliens although it's actually him who ends up on the brink of death. He gives his best and he doesn't deserve to die, but damn, Oku sure made him an annoying character :arg

Well, at least we can limit it to the gun option and the revive option. And I actually look forward to seeing him using the Gantz equipment. I mean, damn, he's already a strong mofo without it, but just imagine him with a suit and an H-gun :wtf

Oh goodie another Kiriyama fan

[Vault]

katou should have remained dead he's just a big baby really

It's like watching Izumi without any of the qualities of what makes Izumi so efficient and deadly.

I really hope HS doesn't start using Gantz equipment, it would so ruin him for me :(

Also, HS should have way more than a hundred points (or close to it, if he doesn't end up killing Nuri), because he already killed two powerful demons. They might have been 50 pointers.

The only problem I just thought of, HS killed another Gantzer, he might get penalized for killing one of his own (in Gantz's eyes).

[E]

idk if anybody mentioned this, but it's very likely that the only way to beat nuri was with non-gantz weapons, and the only one not using a gantz weapon was...you know :awesome

I'm in agreement with you on Hikawa using Gantz equipment. It just doesn't seem right for him to do that.

However, I don't think those two monsters he killed were worth so many points. They just seemed too weak. Or maybe HS was too strong. :awesome I believe they were worth around 10-20 points. That's just my opinion.

On Hikawa killing another Gantzer, I dunno... Part of me says Gantz will penalize him, then another part says Gantz doesn't care. Hell, they were from another team anyway. :LOS

Well, the reason why I think the demons were worth a lot more is because they completely wiped out the three sadists who had already cleared once.

It wasn't even a challenge.

Hence why I think they were in the 30-40-50 range.

[Biolink]

Ummm... You do know that Kiriyama-whatever looks a little like Katou, right? I dunno who Kiriyama is, so if he doesn't fail like Katou then...

Hmm... I can see your reasoning. But the sadists were idiots in the end. I believe they got 100 points each, right? But they were still idiots, that's why they died so easily. And if those monsters were worth even 50 points, then what were the demon bosses worth? They were way stronger than those two.

Oh Battle Royale, huh... I've been meaning to read that one. :plot

[Biolink]

Yeah it's an awesome read, I'd get to it ASAP.

There was a novel first, two movies and the manga. Besides the novel the manga was second best in terms of accuracy. The first movie was pretty good though not accurate to the novel, the 2nd movie though trailed off into some other shit.

I like those psychological stories that show how people will react when driven into a desperate situation. Battle Royale did that better than any story I can remember. Also what kinda attracted me to Gantz initially.

The demon bosses were 68 and 71 respectively.

It makes sense really.

[Supa Swag]

Ummm... You do know that Kiriyama-whatever looks a little like Katou, right? I dunno who Kiriyama is, so if he doesn't fail like Katou then...

Dude...Kazuo Kiriyama is a motherfucking beast in every way. He flipped a coin to decide whether he would help his classmates fight against the program they were put in or win the game by becoming a serial killer and murder everybody in the compitition. And his last 2 real fights...HOLY SHIT.

Dude's a machine. He's nowhere near the BITCH that Katou is.

[Tayimus]

The demon bosses were 68 and 71 respectively.

It makes sense really.

Are you talking about the sub-bosses from this arc? I'm talking about the bosses from the mission before this one, the Oni (Demon) Mission. The Fire, Rock, Changeling, and Lightning Demons. They were very hard to defeat. The Demon Boss (I call him Raijin) was at least around the level of the sub-bosses from the current mission.

Yeah it's an awesome read, I'd get to it ASAP.

Oh, those guys.

Well, no idea really, but they all racked up an insane amount of points, so I'm guessing they were maybe in the 80s range.

I think this arc serves to point out that not all demons are alike. I mean, Oka solo'd a 100 pointer once, but he got owned this time around.

The other 2 who had beaten it 3 times also noted that this hunt was much harder than ones before.

So it's really kinda hard to base points off this arc.

I guess we'll just see soon enough anyways :zaru

[Tayimus]

Yeah, I agree. We'll see the results, hopefully, within the next 2 months.

[AbnormallyNormal]

the best thing is for blonde vamp to use the 100 points he got to wish himself out of gantz, and then kill all the gantz members again LOL

that would be incredibly badass

There's no telling how much of his memories Gantz would wipe out.

[AbnormallyNormal]

oh yeah he could lose memories. meh, he should still do it, since he hates being a part of gantz and he's a monster

[Tayimus]

Except really gay.

There's no telling how much of his memories Gantz would wipe out.

Again, I second one of your statements. Specially the first part. :edu

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Lol, HS didn't kill Nuri, he just saved Katou. The H-gun will probably finish it once and for all.

Great fucking chapter :gar

[Nash]

Why should Gantz penalise HS for killing some Gantzers? Nishi killed that fodder biker and wasn't punished. Ok well, he kinda died before they were transferred back, so we don't know if Gantz would have done something..but still...Mr Black Ball couldn't care less about that. I think..yeah..whatever >_>

[Hibari Kyoya]

HS is :gar :gar :gar

[Nash]

I'm glad you've seen the light, Hibaboon :high

[zaphood]

omfg.

That has to be the ultimate, best ever seen, Kill Steal.

hahaha, i'd be so pissed off at Host, and if the git gets a 100pts.... lol

[Ashiya]

Awesome new chapter, HS saves the day :awesome

[KuronoX54]

Yes HS for the win, but in hopes of seeing Kurono again I got a new set

[Shikashi]

He needs to stop killing hot women... either make them ugly and kill those or don't make the hot ones die. Whichever... anyway, last panel was the awesome.

[Sin]

I think it'd be hilarious if HS gets the 100 points and then Gantz go "p3n4liz3d 4 k1ll1n 1 of uR guyz" -1 point.

[KuronoX54]

^ I'd die, Gantz will give Katou -30 for crying

[Ooter]

that was one hell of a chap, best one so far, but why kill the hottest women in gantz history?:pek

too bad vampire guy gets all the points so he'll probably go free, i doubt katou wil get 100...

[AbnormallyNormal]

the vampier actually saved everyone's lives by that "kill steal". they will thank him and be grateful, not upset about points

[Shikashi]

... Or will they? Maybe Katou will cry some more because he can't bring Kurono back yet.

[•Sharingan Squid•]

:oh Kurono cried oh so much too, i don't see any of you trashing him...

And HS didn't kill Nuri, lol.

[Penance]

:facepalm
Kurono cried oh so much too, i don't see any of you bashing him...

And HS didn't kill Nuri, lol.

He killed Aliens without a suit. He dusted Vampires without a suit or Gantz weapons. He gets a pass...

[Sin]

:oh Kurono cried oh so much too, i don't see any of you trashing him...

And HS didn't kill Nuri, lol.
Thing is, at least Kurono did things BESIDES crying.

Katou is a bitch, and that's all there is to it.

Kurono pulled a group of strangers together and made people survive through shit they would have never survived without his help. Kurono got so much respect that people gave up their freedoms to revive people important to Kurono.

Kurono was so badass he outshone fucking Izumi.

What does Katou do? Bitch and moan about his brother every other chapter and go "OH MAI GAWD, AM I GUNS A DAI?"

Lol @ Comparing Kurono to Katou.

[Tayimus]

Hmm... I was re-reading the Oni MIssion (again! :thumbs) and I saw that Gantz specifically states a Human Being can be revived. Does this mean that if Chigusa (the girl vamp) dies (if she's not dead already) Hikawa can't revive her? Even if he wanted too,that is. :hmm?

Oh, and Kurono>Everyone>Butter Dog>Katou>Shit>Inaba. :lmao

You guys do know that Kurono wanted to be like Katou. He was his role model as a leader. And yeah, this is not a comparison between Kurono and Katou. I just think you guys shouldn't forget little details like this.

Kurono overtook Katou, I must admit he was a dick at first.

Can't anyone in the Gantz memory be revived, if she is dead she'd end up there so of course she can be revived.
I doubt Kurono will come back, maybe in the next few missions, since Katou failed completely.

[UchihaItachimk]

That's only because Kurono didn't give a shit about anyone at the beginning of the manga, he wanted to be like Katou in the aspect that Katou cared about others. He wanted to break down that emotional wall he had built.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't thinking "Oh boy I want to be crying, whiny bitch like Katou."

Why Katou and Kurono are nothing alike? :zaru

Err, yeah, that's kind of what death does to a person.

You find out your true colors during your last moments.

You either give up and die, or you fight to survive.

I thought my post spoke for itself :zaru

Also, you said Kurono based himself off Katou, that implies that you do think they're alike :zaru

[Nash]

Err, no? Only because you see someone as your role model, doesn't mean you're exactly like that person or trying to impersonate him. Kurono and Katou both influenced each other. That doesn't make them the same person.

You posted Katou's dying scene..after he fought for his life. After he defeated that Goddess of Mercy or whatever the fuck that was. But you didn't post Kurono's last scene, lying on the floor, defeated. So I still don't see your point :sag

[UchihaItachimk]

I wonder will Gantz be good without Kurono

You mean the scene where HS cuts Kurono while he's killing the girl vampire after completely owning the team sent to his assassination with a lamp?

Kurono was focused and alert throughout that whole event, and all of that while he was regaining his memories. He had no idea who he was or why those people were targeting him, yet he still managed to own all of them except 1 who attacked him while he was distracted.

Katou was bitching and crying the entire time he was fighting the ONE monster.

With that said, I don't really know what you're trying to accomplish here, what, you want to convince me(and everyone else) Katou is cooler or just as badass as Kurono?

Lol, good luck.

[Nash]

No, I was just being honest about my confusion why you bothered to post the pages without any explanation. Not everyone of us faps to some Kurono panels and immediately knows what you're trying to say :sag

Lol, good luck.

See, Kurono is a badass, technically he didn't know jack about what was going on since his memories were erased and slowly - slowly - coming back. Yet, he killed a whole bunch of shit and kicked ass with a lamp going down in a blaze of kicking ass to one of the strongest guys in the entire series. Katou may be a good leader, but when he acted as a leader he never really kept people alive regardless of the circumstances.

Sure he's saved some people here and there but people haven't necessarily survived because of his "awesomeness", not Gantz folk. What Katou is is a person with a strong desire to protect, without the means to do so, now he has to achieve those means. Kurono was someone who had a strong means to survive, without will to protect, however that changed and he put his wit and natural skill into protecting others.

Katou's problem was that he wanted to save everyone, or rather, thinks he needs to save everyone. Kurono on the other hand put his faith into others knowing he couldn't protect them all but could help them regardless. He trained them and acted as their leader to give them the determination to survive. Kurono's will to survive simply surpasses anyone elses, for whatever selfish or unselfish reason they are, small or large, his survival instincts were just ridiculous. Put Katou in Kurono's shoes and see how far he would have gotten against the likes of all the shit Kurono has been up against.

Don't get me wrong, I like Katou and think he's a badass, it's just he needs to evolve more like Kurono did. He's not ready to truly lead yet.

The more I read this manga though, the more questions I ask myself about what this whole series is about. Is it really as simple as what was said in the beginning, defending against aliens and some such? The more I read the more I think it's a deliberate ploy to progress human evolution or something like that. I mean, why have old people and children get transported to the Gantz room when it's to kill aliens lol... I've been thinking it's just to make those individuals progress through forced means, like test subjects. That's just me thinking out loud though, either way I know I won't be disappointed lol, this manga is too fucking good.

[•Sharingan Squid•]

You want good art? Check out Vagabond...

[Tayimus]

*bump*

Alright, I was wondering about this for a while and I wanna see what y'all think. Who would win in fight between Reika and Chiaki (female vamp)? Chiaki is limited to katana and handgun, while Reika has the Gantz suit, X-Gun, and katana.

[Nash]

Both lose since they're girls :-(


Meh, hard to say. We haven't seen much of Chiaki's fighting style or her using any strategy. Reika, on the other hand, did develop a pretty good fighting sense. So for now I'd say Reika wins :]

edit: wait..I thought her name's Chigusa :argh

[Tayimus]

I thought her name was Chigusa too!!! :argh

But when I checked Gantz Otaku it has her name as Chiaki. Maybe she's Chiaki Chigusa or Chigusa Chiaki (Lol, Chi Chi). Sounds stupid both ways, but I digress...

Anyway, look at this-

http://img43.onemanga.com/mangas/00000012/00000238/19.jpg

Reika flipped the shit outta her! I love that page! Oh, and I think of all the girls in Gantz, Reika fails the least. :thumbs

That's just my opinion. :hmpf

[Nash]

No no, you're right. From all the Gantz girls, Reika's the only one who has my respect. Only a little though :hoho


Tbh, I think people just call her Chiaki because she's a perfect copy of Chiaki Kuriyama http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/2547296.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1934A2752006EF5F0ED1B54C7CB6CE8DD9E 5A5397277B4DC33E Hell, I'm not sure..I once read that Oku actually took Kuriyama as an example for Chigusa/Chiaki w/e..but as I said, I'm not sure if it was fans speculating or if it's canon :argh
Well..she hasn't done anything amazing..so she doesn't deserve a name..for now. Vampire Chick's just fine..or Chi Chi :D

The story doesn't pick up until the Buddha alien arc to be honest.

[Wuzzman]

Don't know what's so good about this manga. Read 29 chapters and it's shit. Is it getting better later on or anything?

yeah the first few chapters SUCK, and that is to be honest. skip ahead to chapter 59. The manga starts to pick up after that. It's not a great manga, it's just good enough, the recent arc however is pretty piss poor you will know why. Gantz first few chapters are pretty lame, then the main character starts growing some balls after the events of the arc that starts around chapter 59. After that the manga becomes 3 times more readable, and dare say it, enjoyable.

[Athrum]

The current chapters are only boring because you get one every 2 weeks, if you read them all in a row it isnt that bad. The Oni Boss took a bit to kill too.

[Sin]

That's what I did. I stopped when Oka showed up, and I recently caught up.

It didn't seem that bad to me.

I'm sure that the alien that never dies is pretty stupid.....

[Supa Swag]

Don't know what's so good about this manga. Read 29 chapters and it's shit. Is it getting better later on or anything?

If you're not interested by then you're probably not ever gonna be interested since stuff hardly changes besides the development of Kurono.

[Lestat Uchiha]

The current chapters are only boring because you get one every 2 weeks, if you read them all in a row it isnt that bad. The Oni Boss took a bit to kill too.
Completely agree. I've just finished reading all the chapter and it was really fun to read them all without interruptions. But now I have to wait a lot for the next chapter and that sucks really hard.

[AbnormallyNormal]

at least we know the next chapter will be the end of this osaka mission, which means HS 99.9% sure just slaughtered the alien

[Penance]

HS gets 70 to 80 poits just from Nuri...so well over 100...and everyone else splits the remaining Nuri points...

[Sin]

HS gets 70 to 80 poits just from Nuri...so well over 100...and everyone else splits the remaining Nuri points...
Why would Nuri have his points split?

I don't think Gantz works like that. Whoever kills whatever gets all the marbles.

[Penance]

I could have sworn that the points were split up in the past...hold on...

EDIT: I have no evidence of my statement, and I couldn't find any-so nvrmind...

[Wuzzman]

.............this arc was dumb....and I was going to right an entire paragraph explaining why but.....geez....

[Hibari Kyoya]

The point scoring is confusing =[

[Nash]

As much as I love HS, I'd lol so hard if the shot of the H-Gun kills Nuri and HS xD

Then I'd cry :(


I just reread Phase 2 and I found out that Katou actually only cried in the last ~2 chaps or so when Anzu died. I'm kinda starting to like him. >_>

In b4 'stfu bitch, Katou fails..and so do you'

[KuronoX54]

Oh no! Nash is starting to like Katou the world is comming to an end!

[Tayimus]

I'm not worried yet. If Nash starts to like Katou more than HS then that's surely a sign of the apocalypse. I'll be kissing my ass goodbye then.

[KuronoX54]

^ Let's hope that never happens

[Ashiya]

Katou does not allow his tears to fall easily. :(

Anzu certainly meant a lot to him.

[Nash]

Me liking Katou more than HS will nevar evar happen..Katou lacks fangs, blond (or blue w/e) hair, smexiness and extreme badassness to compete with Hikawa :noworry

But I'm slowly starting to appreciate Katou and sympathise with him.

Gantz anime so awesome ^^

[Tayimus]

I swear to God I love Gantz Abridged!!!

I lol @Nash appreciating Katou and sympathizing with him. :LOS

But your Reika set is teh win. :del

Hopefully, Katou's gun glowing doesn't mean it's ready to kill HS right there on the spot ;o That gun goes off in like 1-2 seconds, he better book it hella fast :/ I don't want him to get pancaked of all damn things.

[Tayimus]

Can you imagine that?

Hikawa, the guy who took out Izumi and Kurono, get killed by Katou... by accident!

It would be the ultimate case of tragic irony (at least in Gantz :wink).

[Penance]

Gantz might just revie him on PRINCIPLE...

[Tayimus]

Gantz might just revie him on PRINCIPLE...

Agreed. The guy who killed two badasses (not one, TWO :argh) is not allowed to be offed by a wuss. It is against the law. :edu

Laws of BadAssness Chapter 3, Section B-

A badass can only be killed by another badass of equal or greater badassness, and under no uncertain terms be killed by a pansy unless -

a) Said pansy is part of a group no less than, but not limited to, 5 pansies per pound of badassness.

b) Said badass wants pansy to kill him/her which must be preceded and/or followed by a lengthy and logical explanation as to why this pansy must kill this badass.

Laws of BadAssness Chapter 4-

A pansy can not under any conditions be able to become a badass.

:quite :edu

[AbnormallyNormal]

omg i totally forgot about the super gun

damnit what if katou seriously used it, and it killed HS and nuri

but i dont think HS would look uber badass like that just to die instantly you know

even in gantz, there are some things that just should not happen

[Nash]

The thing is...Oku tends to kill off all the badass characters, i.e. Izumi, Oka, Kurono... If that's some kind of pattern, it technically means HS has to die too :edu

However, I hope he survives. He better. Gantz can't lose another awesome character..like that :D:

[AbnormallyNormal]

oka wasnt badass at all i thought. and izumi was just a prick.

nishi was broguht back to life because oku realized how badass he was, and that kurono didnt fill the void :edu

kaze rules too and is alive

[KuronoX54]

Gantz might just revie him on PRINCIPLE...
Gantz is a bastard, he doesn't do anything on principle

[Penance]

Gantz is a bastard, he doesn't do anything on principle

Okay. He'll do it for the lulz, and to see how pissed HS gets. That's right- he'll get pissed...:nuts

[KuronoX54]

^ Ok that might work

[Ooter]

GAntz wants lulz so he should revive Kurono for the lulz.

[Nash]

Gantz should also revive Oka for the lulz :pek

And Izumi.

And the Sniper guy.

And Butter Dog.

:pek

:pek :pek :pek :pek

[Ooter]

forget sniper guy, izumi, maybe... oka shouldnt have been killed in the first place.


:pek:pek:pek

[serger989]

GAntz wants lulz so he should revive Kurono for the lulz.

Who knows actually, he may do it, Gantz does want more people like Kurono. I'm also sure he'd be happy to bring him away from his freedom, seems like something Gantz would do. He seemed to groom people for survival making things a bit more interesting.

[Tawsie]

Damn, Gantz was taken on off OneManga at Dark Horse's request.
Anyone know where I can read it?

[Nash]

~3 more days until we get spoilers :WOW

Can't wait too see what kind of surprise Oku has in store for us :3

[Cochise]

Good job Darkhorse. I won't be buying your edition of the manga now.

[KuronoX54]

^ Their Berserk was shit

[Ooter]

hs wins next chap.

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

The last few chapters have been amazing, I lolled at the sniper plan though.

[Cochise]

Kato is highly intelligent. If Oka couldn't kill that thing with a fully upgraded suit, then what would 4 snipers on some rooftops do? That vamp is awesome, and probably my favorite character now with Kurono, Izumi, and probably Kuwabara all being dead. What's his name again?

[Lord Genome]

Host Samurai?

Thats what everyone calls him anyway >.>

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

You know what really made me lol, half a naked chick with her guts hanging out, doing split kicks to the face, has she it, alien. w/e lol no decency :awesome

[Ooter]

the alien could be caught off guard, if he's not expecting an attack he can be hit, right? there had to be some way.

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Lure it to a subway and let it get hit by a train lol

[Cochise]

Host Samurai?

Thats what everyone calls him anyway >.>

No LG, not him. The guy that killed him. Is a chain smoker, badass, and nails the hot vampire chick.

You know what really made me lol, half a naked chick with her guts hanging out, doing split kicks to the face, has she it, alien. w/e lol no decency :awesome

I've lol'ed so many times during this arc. I think it's fucking hilarious that the alien uses fucking eye lasers. Seriously, he couldn't come up with anything better than eye lasers?

[KuronoX54]

Lure it to a subway and let it get hit by a train lol
It worked for Kurono and Katou

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

It worked for Kurono and Katou
Nice to know someone gets my joke :awesome

[Felix]

Nice to know someone gets my joke :awesome

It was a joke? :uwah
So when are we getting our next Gantz chapter?

[KuronoX54]

Does anyone remember all of the dupes that where made when Gantz won MOTM and ^ that's a good question

[Cochise]

Nice to know someone gets my joke :awesome

I thought it was just a brilliant strategy to kill an alien. :awesome

It was a joke? :uwah
So when are we getting our next Gantz chapter?

Somewhere around 2 weeks from now. We're going to be downloading from this point onwards it looks like. lol, your avatar.

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

So wait... Gantz isnt on Onemanga anymore?

Whats next they pull Black Lagoon? I'll rage.

[KuronoX54]

So wait... Gantz isnt on Onemanga anymore?

Don't joke it might happen

[Cochise]

If Darkhorse decides to publish Black Lagoon they will.

[KuronoX54]

Darkhorse are some bitches

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Fuck this, I love my Black Lagoon.

[KuronoX54]

well.................

[Cochise]

Everybody loves BL. Gantz is my favorite though, and being inconvenienced from reading it pisses me off.

[Ooter]

next chappie 7th august maties.^

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Black Lagoon and xxxHolic and School Rumble (eclectic i kno) takes up most of my reading space.

Gantz I read as soon as its out, let it sink in for a day or so then ponder about it till the next chap.

[Cochise]

I do need to start xxxHolic, you've raved about that for what seems like forever now.

[Felix]

I thought it was just a brilliant strategy to kill an alien. :awesome



Somewhere around 2 weeks from now. We're going to be downloading from this point onwards it looks like. lol, your avatar.

What's wrong with my avatar?
And lol you aren't ignoring me

Anyway, is Black Lagoon recommendable?

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Tsubasa and Holic goes hand in hand.

Its very occult stylized, apart from violent as shit, I love occult and folklore.

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Its like having your own private Chinese action cinema, the anime adaptation is fuck awesome as well.

I just though it was funny that you have the same guy, and I have no idea who he is other than he's from FF and he looks cool.

Thanks for the reminder, *adds back to list*

grr, I cant remember... does 278 come out this week or next week?

[Nash]

August 7th.

[Nomeru]

Nooo, another week, I cant take this, need more gantz!

Host Samurai better not do us wrong, we're counting on him.

I think while I wait for the new chapter, I'll reread over this arc. It's the first arc for me that I've actually read as it was released (which is kinda sad in a way, started reading well over a year ago), and I'm having trouble remembering all that's happened.

[Ooter]

read psyren.

[Nomeru]

read psyren.


hmm, not familiar with it but thanks, I'll look into it.

[KuronoX54]

What's psyren

[Emery]

What's psyren

A shonen version of GantZ.

Host Samurai's name is Hikawa, by the way, people.

[KuronoX54]

He'll always be HS to me and I'll have to check out Psyren

[Shikashi]

Hey, that's not... exactly true... Psyren is...

Okay, there's a couple of things that'll be familiar to Gantz fans but seriously it's not a rip-off or anything (IMO). With little more than 30 chapters so far, I say give it a try. I'm liking it so far.

And here's the summary taken from OM-

Yoshina Ageha is a high school student who offers to help people with their problems for 10,000 yen. He'll take care of your stalkers, find your lost animal, whatever you want. One day when he's heading home, a nearby pay phone rings, and he picks it up. The only thing he hears however is his own voice echoing. After finding a mysterious card with the word 'Psyren' printed on it, his life suddenly changes as he is drawn into a crazy new world.

[Nomeru]

A shonen version of GantZ.

Host Samurai's name is Hikawa, by the way, people.

I'm not doubting this but where did it say that?
