I dont have the point chapters but if ur asking for those chapters to figure out the point system it is 3pts a capture 5 pts a kill 8 points a boss.
This is THE Gantz thread, Discussion / Questions / w/e is done here. :]

It's not that he didn't say anything, you could see he was clearly shocked to see his broher with that crew.I don't know where people get this from, Akira hasn't even joined the vampires yet.
Check chapter 163, page 13 and 14. That's when Akira meets the same vampires (minus the one that looks like a grandpa) that Kei and the other 'Gantzers' met in chapter 208, Akira hasn't appeared in the manga since chapter 163.

It's almost a given that Kei will be faced by Akira. So we can be sure that the Oni alien leader will be beaten SOMEHOW.
And I can't get torrents, as I use a college compy with an evil firewall. Could someone upload the RAW elsewhere for download? I'm still reeling from 208, and though I know what happens in 209, I wanna see see see.

Woh, correct me if im wrong, but is the latest chapter 208?
And the difference were very minimal from the anime, except the ending of the buddha statue fight. At that point i thought 'wtf, if they are dead, this'll get boring' but after volume 8 / 9 i was just amazed and dragged into it.
I dont really like stories where relatives will stand against each other, since i know that Akira will be very powerful to match up to Kei and the fight will be dragged on over almost the whole serie.

Latest scanned Chapter is 208 but the new Chapter that is release is 209, whic is RAW still.
I don't think the Kei battle will be that long as everyone thinks its gonna be. The only have a fair amount of chapters left. So the battle could make the ending chapters longer and longer than the orginial.

Well, the brother part was a theory. Gantz is though near the end. This mission is almost there final mission. But, after Gantz timer disappearing leaves a lot of openings to the ending.

Sasuto: Ill try upload volume 15 & 16 then. It'll probably take a good time, since i only got 0.5mb up. :/
Or you could read the whole manga online:

But you need to register and earn 10 points for it. You maybe should try it, since irc-highway doesnt work for you. You dont have much of an option. Its almost necessary to have some kind of irc program if you like mangas.

And you pretty much dictate the story, anyone can live or die.

The Gantz game has been old news its not coming to the US. They are still debating if there is enough fans of Gantz in order to ship it to the US.
Though, it indeedly looks good, I wish they showed the whole story and not up to one arc, I hope it isn't dubbed or Kei will be the first one dead.

I have been having that issue for other mangas too. The yousendit.com window has to be the windom on top, if you minimize or go anywhere else it screws up the uploading. A lot of people are uploading these days, so it can be busy.

I read up to the point where Kei protects his ex-girl friend (The little girl who broke up with him over the phone) from a monster and she looks up at thin air and says "Kei..?" or something like that. I was bored with the manga at that point and stopped reading. I watched the anime and that was worse.
I never found an continuity to the series aside from Kei. Can anyone tell me what GANTZ is really about? Have they released any more details concerning the nature of the black ball?
Is the black ball supposed to represent something (like society perhaps?) or does the manga consist only of killing/dying to prove the point to us that each member of society is expendable except for ourselves?
My lack of interest was the result of a lack of plot, really.
My own short mental summary would be like this:
2 guys die, wake up in the black ball room and are given a mission.
Eventually all the people in the black ball room die except for Kei.
Repeat for however many chapters with different styles of death.
Add in romance that is complicated/excessive (when you're fighting life/death battles do you really need a girl friend who won't understand you? If you told her what you did at night she'd think you're crazy. )
Is there something I'm missing that makes GANTZ attractive?
The one thing I liked about the manga was that it wasn't afraid to kill off characters. But the death toll is excessive.
What motivates a reader to read gantz, aside from the shock factor? Shock factor is great to get my attention, but I'm missing out on the most important criteria; a plot.

hey for all of you that have been reading the latest chapters of GANTZ what are your thoughts on the stuff happening and how it will change the manga?
here's mine....with all the people who can now see the gantzers, id imagine it would also alert the aliens of their enemies' identity(the gantzers). with this new thing happening i expect to see more "non-mission" fights, like the time that alien killed kurono's previous classmates. aslo if they can still be seen by the public after this they become famous and some govournment agency just may come after them sooner or later to annoy the guys. anyway we can be sure the civilion death toll from this point on will be much higher than in the begining.
ohh and maybe now if someone calls kurono "daytime lantern" he'll cut their damn heads off or something:smile-big

i have finally caught up to gantz and i think its a very good manga. and i sometimes agree that the missions can get a bit repetitive, but they show kei's development into being a determined warrior and such. and now, it seems the REAL plot is turning. so things seem to be finally progressing. so basically..i cant wait for the next gantz to come out!..^___^
Well after reading the latest chapters. I'm thinking that Gantz might be coming to an end soon. Well soon as in within 50 chapters possibly. Especially with the way things are now. Unless of course there's a "Go to an alien planet." thing. Which might possibly be quite interesting... but a bit...

I wonder if people will reconized that their beloved Reiki idol is a slayer now... and how that will effect her career
I think they will be seen as the new super heroes or Gantz might do something to remove the incident from people minds.
DrunkenYoshimaster
08-13-2005, 03:23 PM
Seemed like Izumi knew what was up with them being seen in chapter 210, like he remembered it havign happened before or something, since the memories of the last time he was in Gantz seem to have been restored. he was like "you can see me!? The alarms?" Like maybe he's saying the alarms went off so theyre visible now, and perhaps something similar happened last time he was in Gantz before he got 100 points so they could all be seen.
Maybe when they face a guy of this caliber Gantz alarms go off, and the players are given unlimited time or something. And I guess facing something like that before would make even a bloodthirsty guy like Izumi want to leave, but he forgot what happened before and decided to come back.I guess either gantz removed the incedent from everyones minds before, or there was no media around and everyone at the scene of the event who saw before was killled in the crossfire.
DrunkenYoshi: We already saw Izumi look back to his 'last hunt' on volume 11. It looks like that also was an "All out" mission. At that point i had an idea that something like that would happen to Kurono.

Gantz probably has a contingency plan for a scenario like that, it remains to be seem how he will deal with the exposure of the Gantzers to the real living people.

It was a mission, they had to acomplish that mission. If Gantz says go kill your cat, you go do it, if Gantz says go take a shit infront of everyone you go do it lol. if Gantz tells you to kill your gf you do it lol.
Besides that point, i think his girlfriend will be revived in the future. Gantz was probably testing Kei again, Gantz really has high expectation and thinks Kurono meets all of them.

Reika tends to Kaze, Kurono attacks the boss HARD and badass-like, but gets knocked away a far distance.
Goddammit, now we just have Izumi and the psychic=sensei to put up a fight until Kurono recovers.

Haha. You should use that sig, to welcome all n00bs.
A very interesting chapter, I tired making a few 'owned' pics but my Paint program wouldn't put the colors out.
When will that littel kid, stfu. The kid always cries and distracts everyone. I loved how Kurono started kicking the snot out of that monster. That monster is official a rip of Shenron. The guys has a lighting attack jsut like Shenron's. Gives me a versus now, lol.
Well, I think Kurono is gonna stay up there for awhile to plan everything out since, he is the only one who actually can take the monster, whats the monsters name? He's Shenron for me. Well, that old guy the non-injuried guy, might be hiding some stuff but he is too afraid. Well, it seems that guywih the arm taken off, might be next.

A couple of things
How does he get away with making Li Shenron and not getting his ass sued to hell:)
When did the panda die?
Will muscle rider survive?
I really think Kurono is going to not make it, I think he dies at 99 points and we get some cheesy scene with Tae in the afterlife.
He has to beat the game 4 times to bring them all back and then gain a normal life
Izumi Must go
Didn't Muscle Rider rip off Li Shenrons arm?
Does the suit make you faster aswell and how the hell can Kurono fight aswell as Muscle Rider suddenly?
There is more to that kid I tell you:)

Apologies if this has been wondered about before;
Just before they clashed with the Oni alien boss there was a shot of Gantz showing about fifteen minutes on the clock. Then Gantz went blank. One of the effects of this has been that everyone, including ordinary humans, can see them. The question is, what does this mean? Why did Gantz shut off the timer? There are two terrible conclusions I can see.
The first is that Gantz recognised that this mission is more important than the time limit. This is an Alien of Mass Destruction; he threatened to go from city to city, killing everyone until he’s the last one standing. In the face of alien Armagedon, Gantz’ hunters are the only ones capable of stopping it; let them have as long as they need. It’s all out war.
The second conclusion is even more sinister; has Gantz shut down? Has it been interfered with? Just before the hunters encountered the Oni boss, they looked at their area-maps/frequency shifters, and it all went crazy. If the aliens and vampires are now taking the fight to Gantz itself, this raises some frightening questions
Will they be teleported back to The Room when the mission is over, and thus healed? If the secret of the hunters is now out, perhaps Gantz’s role has been compromised. Maybe there will not be an end to this mission; they wont be teleported back to The Room (god, I hope this isnt the case). If you're mortally injured now, you die. If you're alive, then there's stil the Vampires to face.
*Ieee, the next few chapteres are going to be tense*

I think its the former conclusion you came to. Izumi said "the alarms have gone off" or something similar to that when he was crowded by a group of civilians. It sounded like something he had been through before. I guess his memories of the last time he was in Gantz are back, and since the vamps seemed familiar with Izumi Im sure he's clashed with them before. And in the past I guess fighting a huge boss like that must have set off some alarm within gantz, that probably gave them unlimited time to handle the situation since its sort of like the vamps exist outside the mission and in this case need to be accounted for anyway. But I guess its the oni boss so was he not expecting them to face him.
I really wonder how theyll beat this one. When Kei gets back he can probably take him, but will Izumi provide support? and what ever happened to the panda. Also wonder how many points theyll have this time. I could see Kei killing this boss and having +200 points allowing him to wish back 2 ppl.

Well, one of the team members could take a fall to help them one. Maybe, Kei will through a car and through his sword at the gas tank. AnNd it will explode and stab the bad guy. Its really hard to tell because that little kid has something up his sleeve everyone knows it. He cries a lot and is very wussy, those are perfect requirements for a powerful being inside.

Good point about Izumi, hadnt thought of that. Yeah, it would be good if Kei got more 200+ points. That way he could get the powerfull weapon and bring people back. Personally, I really hope the telekenetic dudes dont die - if they get swords then they're practically Jedi.
Could it be that Gantz just gave up on the Panda, or it was moved out of range of Gant'z teleporting capabilities? Last we saw, it was picked up on the autoban and taken to a zoo.

08-28-2005, 02:10 PM
^ / my prediction: maybe the panda told one of the other panda's and his head exploded!
Hmm speaking of Izumi I think the ultimate weapon requirement was for him. I doubt theres anyone he cares about more than himself enough to wish back, so he'll probably wish for the ultimate weapon making him the most powerful of the group for a while, at least until kei surpasses him again.
Kei thought a few people would have more than 100 pts this time, and its not hard to beleive since he himself earned 46 in the first 3 missions then lost all them, and those of them that have been around 3 missions (excluding the tae one since only Izumi got points off it) have been fighting much tougher opponents that are more rewarding points wise.
Anyway if kei thinks anyone besides him and Izumi will get 100 points on this mission he should definately have 200. Kei had like 78 pts before the mission. Izumi had 46. The psychic guy was 21. and everyone else had less.
Personally I think Kei kills the boss, reaches 200 wishes back Tae and Katou (he really owes katou his life, and tae too in a way). Plus by wishing back katou he has a partner he can trust who will probably aim for bringing back kishimoto, while kei can either bring back that tomb raider girl or whatever.
Izumi gets 100+ points and wishes for the powerful weapon, since his goal was always fighting related. He wanted to get to the room because he remembered killing some aliens in a battle of shinjuku street. And now hes just realized the boss alien is out of his league and so is kei, he'll definately do whatever it takes to surpass him..unless he was just reminded of why he left last time.
Countryside General and the psychic may get 100 this time, considering the general fought a super badass and won, and the psychic was closest before. Dunno what General will do if he reaches it, he seems like a guy whos all about his fists, but he might vie for top spot with a weapon, so maybe they have a super duper suit or something. Or maybe he can wish the baby kid out of there, cuz Id really be shocked if the kid turns out to be Gohan..dunno if you can do that tho.
Psychic if he survives of course will wish back his student, still I dunno how many freaks he killed this time but I think hell just have to do it next time.
Reika, the old man, and kei hating loser almost definately wont have enough points. though I think reika will be somewhere in the middle, and the loser will have like 10 points unless somehow he's the one to finish the boss. I think when reika eventually does reach 100 shell stay around out of love for kei, maybe even wish him back if he dies on a super hard mission. I think theyll face the vamps soon and kei wont be able to kill his brother and die as a result. The vamps probably attack during a mission again but as usual arent part of it so everyones pts arent reset if they dont kill them.
Old man definately needs to wish himself out and get on with his life if he survives somehow. This latest alien pwned him within a matter of 2 frames. And kei hating bastard either dies or goes through some incredible character develpment. But for now I think we sorta have the team. The mangaka is unpredictable, but since he kept them around this long I think hes going to continue to build up this group for a while, maybe even finish the manga with the majority of them still around as they discover exactly whats going on.
damn that was a long post...

Those suits seem to be made of some kinda uber strong bio-rhythm sensitive composite liquid, so maybe it would be possible to have a more powerfull suit enforced with more of that stuff.
Perhaps Gantz has 'levels' - you only get the more powerful suit once you've proven yourself worthy by pushing the original suit to the max. On the other hand, the challenges would get commensurately more dangerous.

Yeah, I hope he doesnt just wash his hands of them. Those psychic dudes are too cool to lose already. Agree about the old man though. He's good. I like him, but he's nothing special. I suspect the "Kei hating barstard" may have some kind of crazy brain storm in the next few chapters. He fancies the pants of Rieka, and right now he's watching her stand in front of the Boss alone with a busted suit. Maybe he'll think "Im dead anyway, might as well go for it" and sacrifice himself (I hope so).
The big question I have is, how exactly does Gantz resurrect people? Does it bring them back to the room? Do they become hunters or do they have their memories erased, and get put back outside as though nothing had happened (like Izumi after 100 points). If they were a hunter who died, I guess they have their points reset (or maybe they dont have to be a hunter again?)... Hmm.

hmm thatd be odd because we already have a kishimoto walking aroudn thinking she is the original living a normal lifestyle. Then youd have two, if the other one was unaware. Well I hope they come back with their memories. At least Katou especially. I know his brother wonders what the hell happened to him.

It's a difficult question, especially when you consider these implications; if you bring someone back and they are free to go and have no memory of Gantz, then you cant tell them about it or your head will blow up. If you met through Gantz, then they will not even know who you are. As you say, this wouldnt work at all in kishimoto's case. Just too wierd. On the other hand if, when you resurect someone, they become a hunter again, then that means that Tae will have to be one too - someone less likely to be able to kill stuff I can not imagine!
Hell yeah, looking forward to Kei Vs Akira.

What, you mean it would be better if they fitted into the generic scifi xenomorph alien mould? I disagree, I think that would be clichéd and boring. You said "WTF", and that's exactly it; 'WTF' things rule. If something makes me go “WTF” I’m probably enjoying it.
The idea is that these are aliens aren’t just random shit out of your generic scifi comic. These are very weird aliens but are also quite familiar; these are things we might regularly come into contact with and not actually immediately consider to be at all alien. The idea is that we re-consider things around us. It's clever - much more clever than your average eyes-on stalks scaly tentacle monster.

yeah I got you. Rockstar put it up yesterday and I just upped it to yousendit:
http://s31.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3PTOEH3EB0SFA2FUMY80BT82PM
^ Inaba's a bitch. It even said he was frozen with fear. Not saying Id do much better, but at least dont be all talk, constantly hating on kei, and then consistently embarassed. If he survives I think he'll definately start training with them, and improving quickly. Maybe even becoming like a second kei or at least having some surprising moments. Otherwise he just deserves to die. Anyway I think more people may be free after this one than I previously thought. The Oni demons were so plentiful Kei and baldie killed 22 really quickly into it. Then theirs the sub bosses Reika, Psychic, and Countryside General killed. And they all killed alot individually, I think they may all get 100. Of course Izumi will. Kei may get 200 and the old man might even get 100 and leave, being replaced in training by Inaba. Just wonder what Reika will wish for if she gets it. Maybe help kei out with one of his wishes?
as far as the gantz aliens go I like them. Theyre able to blend into society as statues etc. in museums by looking like that. Or in the case of the Oni demons theyre hidden inside humans. Its really cool to see a buddha statue go crazy. I think some of the bleach aliens are alot less generic than your typical sci-fi brand.
I cant wait to see what goes beserk next, though Im worried that we're nearing the end and the vamps may be all thats left, since they did say the strongest alien in gantz has begun to move, when the oni-boss moved to action.
Whats up with the old cataracts vamp? he doesnt always roll with the other 3, like when they came up on akira he wasnt there. But hes in the back ussually and seems like he may be the weakest of the 4 or at best their former leader since the one who likes Jeet kwon do is the new leader.
I wonder if theyre each as tough if not tougher than the Oni Boss. The one Izumi beat before was pretty strong but definately below these guys.

The alien knows where Reika is from her breathing... I guess she's worried that if she fires, the alien will kill her before he blows up. From her experience with the sub-boss she fought (the metamorphose Oni that Inaba shagged) she doesnt know if this guy will just re-form after being shot with the gun.

So what, is gonna happen to Reika; is Kei able to save her before she is pressed to death or will Kei just lodge his sword in the Vampire Boss's back [he does that and MORE]; actually he opens an entire state-wide reaching scope of whoopass on the BOSS.

So what, is gonna happen to Reika; is Kei able to save her before she is pressed to death or will Kei just lodge his sword in the Vampire Boss's back [he does that and MORE]; actually he opens an entire state-wide reaching scope of whoopass on the BOSS.
damn! not that I dont beleive you but whered you dl it from? #raws doesnt have it yet, neither does tokyo toshokan.

^yeah seriously, cant beleive its out and no link anywhere, Ive looked all over. tho I did manage to find what seems to be a summary with a title but its all in japanese except the title (which isnt shocking since many mangas have an occasional chapter title written in Engrish): http://ameblo.jp/gantzlabo-nexststory/entry-10003747052.html
and the title is "last man Standing". If we dont see the chapter soon maybe someone can at least translate that summary.
oh andheres what altavista pulled up
-----------------------------------------
nm had to delete it since it said my post had to many characters. but keep reading and youll see why it doesnt matter
seems like the top half was just a summary of 212 anyway. The bottom part makes it sound like Inaba gets in on things shooting the arm, leg, and soilder of the "lath boss" (aka Lil' Shenny) causing them to burst. dust whirls around then settles revealing to Inabas astonishment that the enemy still stands somehow.
now this summary would contradict what Hellraisinbran said since he seemed to mention kei, so maybe the sight was just speculating. But it sounds like ti could be real to me.
wait nm I had an idea since the first half was of 212 maybe this place posts the real chapter everyweek along with their predictions for next weeks beneath it. So I checked under 214 and sure enough the summary at the top half was a different one for 213 it seemed/:

--------------------
seems like ray mosquito is reika, and she tries to fight Shenron but is shaky and drops the gun unintentionally. I think he lifts her up in the air or tosses her somewhere as she closes her eyes. A hero suddenly shows up havign stabbed Shenron throught the stomach. I cant tell if it's Kei or Izumi, but since they call him hero and I dont see the word unexpected anywhere, and the guy who said he saw the chapter mentioned kei kicking ass this chapter Im going to guess him.
also I cant tell if this is a prediction for the next chapter or what, but theres a part that says Gate: and it sounds like they may be returning to the room, with Kei being the top ranked, Izumi 2nd. Inaba 3rd, and Reika jackpot??? also panda bites Inabas arm there. So did Sakata and Countryside General really die? or were they just lower ranked? Also for Inaba to get third without killing anyone means he had to be the one to get the finishing blow on Shenron.
OMG I think I get it. This one is so big its going to need an extra spoiler warning. Read at your own risk cuz if Im right this is going to be a huge spoiler
It says hero was expected first place. And everyone entrusted the final blow of the fight to him as Inaba backed him up at the end. But I think what happens is that Kei rushes Shenron for the last attack and we dont see what happens just people back in the room as the points come up on gantz screen with Izumi coming in second then Inaba coming in 3rd, and then they show Reika being first as the shocker.
Then we get a flashback of what happened: Kei commited suicide/went kamikaze to stop shenron, and as his final blow struch shenron clear through the stomach a final lightning bolt killed kei.
Also seems like there may be some dialogue between Inaba and Kei before he went saying that Shenrons power came from within so kei figured he would probably go up in a big bolt of lightning but there was no way of knowing. So if Kei died he was entrusting leadership to Inaba, it almost sounds like. And after they return to the room Inaba seems to be in shock at what happened still clutching his gun. The panda rolls to him and tries biting him or something so he snaps out of it..
ANyway I wouldnt put alot of stock in all this since Im not an official translator, but I do alot of trying to decipher raw summaries for Naruto translated in altavista, and Ive gotten pretty good so that usssually only a couple plot points come out wrong from the final translation when I post them here. Really Im not 100% positive I understoon it correctly. But it would be an interesting and unexpected change of events.
And I guess when this is over Kei may have a new appreciation of Reika. Too bad it seems like CG and Sakata mightve really bitten it, cuz either way for Inaba to come in third I dont think they can be around, and it sounds like he didnt get the final blow anyway, so he probably only has like 2 points to keep him ahead of the baby and the panda assuming the baby is even still there

yeah Kei is the man. But you gotta wonder how is this going to change his social life. As if being caught on a date with reika wasnt enough, now the daytime lantern is revealed as Japan's most powerful Superhero (minus Gamera & the like). Maybe the people who saw him wont be able to ID the heroes. But the path of destruction and dead bodies should be proof enough that whatever they saw was credible.
I really wonder what Inaba is saying at the end. And I wonder what the suspense for next chapter is. If it was all done wouldnt he have just had the bastard killed here. Or will Izumi try and interfere for the kill pts?
cuz wonder demon seems down for the count. Maybe they want to show the reaction to everything thats happened including the vamps reaction. Maybe theyll know Kei is the one to beat now and not Izumi. Including bringing back people it seems like everything changes from here on out.

Well, if the crew all survives, I doubt that Gantz will allow the people who survived to know what happened. Of course Gantz will allow, the one crazy person to tell the truth, because no one will listen to him. If Gantz didn't let the people know Kei could tell the were Gantz lives.
But, didn't I call that what Kei did? Haha. Another, reason why this manga is amazing. I wish there was some music in it. I would've liked to see what music was played Kei pounded the bad guy.
I felt a bit sad for that girl, hot/sexy and getting squeezed to death, thats what Akins does to you. Where is that boy?
Didn't that preview say the Vampire boss would be back? :oh

There's not much to scanlate anyways. Just panting, bellowing, Reika going "Kurono-kun", and the last bit with wuss-boy going "Kuronooo! Ikee! ('Kurono~! Go!')"
Hell, I could scanlate this. And that's saying a lot.

^awesome site I really like it. I always wanted to make the first gantz fan site but Im too damn lazy. I guess youre working on the other sections, but as far as the missions go great job.
I might add the name "Shiva" in when describing the hundred hands buddha boss. Since Shiva has about 6 or so hands and is female just like that statue.
I might also add in "Ultrasaurus" when describing the dino boss, since its bigger than a Brontosaurus and more ferocious and still larger than a Brachiosaurus. And Ultrasaurus was supposed to be the largest dino I think, probably where they got the idea for the Ultrazord in that Power Rangers thing I watched when I was 6.
Also another analysis you can make to the ring aliens besides lord of the rings is that there were 8 of them. Ever heard of the 8 horsemen of the apocolypse that are supposed to come at the end of the world, I think its biblical. Anyway with all the references to the end of the world on Nishi's site youd think that those 8 horsemen were there for a reason. Speaking of Nishis page it might be kinda cool if you design it so its like that page only continued by you in the event of Nishi's demise.
Finally there is at least one other mission with aliens we know about and have a pic of. The hunt in Shinjuku street from Izumi's memory, that made him want to return to the room. Forget which chapter the image was in but i know it had pictures of the aliens heads on the ground.

They only show four being killed but unless my scanlation is wrong theres 8.
Look at chapter 172 page 5:

Also found that hunt on Shinjuku street pic from Izumi's memory. Chapter 119 page 114-115. Its a nice big shot with pics of the aliens from that mission being blasted.

Hello everybody! I just finished reading all 213 chapters of Gantz in the past week (I don't think I need to tell you if I like it or not :P). Anyway, I'm loving the story and the fact that nobody is safe (well except for Kurono since he's the main character). I was in complete shock when Hojo, Kishimoto, Sei, and Katou all died within a few chapters. It was almost hard to believe because they all seemed like they'd be in it until the end (Kishimoto and Katou for sure, at least).
I only have one thing that bothers me....
After the big onion alien killed like 4 people all at once, weren't the people who just died then shown sitting in chairs in front of cameras and a producer? What was going on there? Nothing like that has happened since the beginning of the manga... Was Nishi making all of that stuff up about the TV show and his father being involved? Was he just saying that so no one would take it seriously and he could get all the points? Did I just answer my own question? XD

I think that was just a hallucination in the mind of the guy who's arms had just been chopped off. He was so convinced that it was an 'Eichmann Test' that when he went into shock his mind started to make it real for him. It was an 'escape from reality' for him, to explain why he'd been teleported back from death to have his arms chopped off by a freaking great alien. Unfortunately for him his arms really HAD just been chopped off by a freaking great alien.

Well.... I was just wondering who is everyone's favorite character (dead or alive, of course)?
I never really liked Masaru that much because of his slicked back hair (lol, i know!), but when Izumi first showed up I imediately thought that he was Masaru's copy just like how Kishimoto has a copy. So, I thought "oooh a new cooler Masaru named Izumi... me like," but it turns out they have nothing to do with each other. Anyway, I think my favorite character is Izumi right now even though I'm sure everyone hates him. He's showed so many sides to him... (including a black side)heh. I just love the fact that Hoi Hoi the panda likes Izumi the most even though he is so cold. XD
People who are dead that I liked were Hojo (I have no idea why), Sei (because she looked exactly like Lara Croft), and Sakurai Hiroto (he seemed like he could be a new main character if Kurono died).
Is there a Gantz character book available? I'd love to know everyone's names and how they were killed. A lot of people were skipped in that department.

The only place I can recommen are Gantz databases. Also don't forget to spoil tag some of your rants, like deaths and such. Just a warning from here. People might or will be pissed if you spoiled a death of there character or what happens to them.

On a sidenote, why is that other site not putting up the 213 translation?
And how come I can never find rockstars website?:(
Why is Gantz so good?
Does Shenron have organs like us becausewhy are we taking it for granted that Kurono beat him when we haven't seen him drop to the ground yet?
I think issue 214 is a good issue for Inaba to die in personally doing the one useful thing as opposed to screwing male aliens:)

I agree. He's going down.Mind you, I'm still scared of a sudden twist at the end. I wouldn’t put him out of the fight until the teleportation starts. I can just see a nasty surprise happening, like he lashes out at Kurono, breaks his suit and rips his head off, leaving Inaba to blow Shenies head and the old dude to resurrect Kurono.
Either that, or some inevitable vampire related nastiness. If they dont show up before the teleportation starts, I wonder if they'll ambush the survivors outside Gantz' room.

The real question is, are there even going to be teleportations after this particular mission?
Disaster doesn't begin to describe it.
The one in the Buddhist temple was worse but there were a lot of newbies, these guys were all experienced except for the kid and they are royal screwed if the vampires jump them now.
Kurono might put up a fight but where the hell is Izumi?
Inaba would probably just keel over and die:) Atleast I hope so

But those 4 vamps who talked with Shenron were the most powerful of the bunch it seems, or the leaders at least. The ones he took care of were small fries, then he barely beat like a division commander or something. If this were hxh those 4 would be the king and his subordinates IMO.

Yeezus, still not over. Kei's suit is broken, but Izumi's back up and they're going for Sheny together. Inaba's still doing his amateur cheer-leader thing.
Sheny must be made of something harder than steel - if Kei had wanted to do max damage he'd have pulled the sword out sideways, slitting him open, but he could only twist it out the way it went in.
There's fight left in Sheny yet.

I'm so glad that Izumi got back up! I really like him. But this just means he has the chance of dying again. He would definitely survive if he kept sitting on the curb. =P
There's so little dialogue in Chapter 214 that I'm able to translate it for you guys... haha

Alien: You bastard!!

Inaba: Go!! Go!! Go!!
Inaba: Alright
Inaba: GO
Kurono: Just a little more... Tae-chan... just a little more

Inaba: Ku....
Inaba: Ro.... No....

Note: Kurono keeps saying "ato sukoshi" which is literally after a little or a little remains. I decided to translate it as just a little more because I felt it sounds best.

Finally they got that bastard, Ive been waiting for that for a while now. Guess Kei and Izumi realize they might need eachother to survive against some of the worst guys coming up. Maybe Izumi will start training with the rest of them. And Im sure Inaba will. Man that gave me a bit of a scare there when Gantz didnt teleport them initiallly. But hes taken a while before, I guess I was just thinking since someone mentioned how the timer shutoff and they werent hidden that maybe there was a problem. Hopefully he still tallies. Good CG is still alive, but what about the psychic? Somones gotta bring back Sakurai IMO and he should be the one to do it.

It looked to me like Izumi took the kill - he decapitated Shen while Kei disembowelled him, so presumably Izumi gets the points. He must have over 100 points; what is he going to do with them?
Surely he’ll go for the powerful weapon; he isn’t a sentimental kind of guy, to bring someone else back from the dead.

Look again. Izumi isnt there either; they havent finnished teleporting. Take deep breaths and wait ;)
Chapter 209, page 1; There's a TV crew right there, and you can just about spot them in the second to last page of 215. He was right; this is big. It's going to effect their lives. Gantz has 'come out'.
So what do we think is going to happen? War, Genocide, Mass Gantz recruitment, Gantz warriors as idols, or will gantz just erase the memories of all observers? Does he have the power to do that? Would Gantz mess it up?

Shocwave has only translated 31 pages (you can get them from the 'Mirrors' bot), but you can download the complete RAW manual from the '[UR]DAN' bot.
And yeah, they have charts and stuff.
It's interesting to note that out of all the human characters we've seen fighting so far, Kei's the 59th place in melee fighting skills, yet he, for some ungodly reason, changed his trusty X Shotgun for a gantz katana, oh, and Izumi's the buffed up Sandaime Hokage of Gantz.

No, she became a target because one of the rapist dudes was playing with his frequency and became visible at the same moment she was taking a photograph. She didnt realise it, she caught a Gantz hunter on film. You're right though. This time loads of people have seen the hunters and caught them on film.

Nyarlathotep was asking me about the stat graphs for the Gantzers which appear in the manga half of the Gantz Manual, so I decided to post them all here. The more important characters have their own goofy stat that isn't supposed to be taken seriously. A lot of them are quite funny. Some will be hard to translate for me because they are written in all hiragana which makes it a little difficult to get the real meaning. So here they are:

You're saying Kei would stand by while Izumi commits another genocide. I'm saying he wouldn’t; he'd fight him. Further more, I'm saying he would sacrifice his own life before he would kill innocent human beings. We've seen a character development in Kurono; he used to be uncaring and insensitive where as now he's becoming more and more responsible and big hearted. Part of this development is empahy, feeling for others and seeing things from their perspective. This is why I think he understands that killing a load of people, even to resurect Tae, is selfish and wrong. Commiting genocide would go against all that character development.

You're saying Kei would stand by while Izumi commits another genocide. I'm saying he wouldn’t; he'd fight him. Further more, I'm saying he would sacrifice his own life before he would kill innocent human beings. We've seen a character development in Kurono; he used to be uncaring and insensitive where as now he's becoming more and more responsible and big hearted. Commiting genocide would go against all that character development. I'd be very suprised if that happened.
Well, he killed a "human being" while defending Tae when she was the target.

Well, he killed a "human being" while defending Tae when she was the target.I said "innocent human beings". That guy was a rapist and was trying to kill Tae at the time. Do you see the difference? Kei killed Izumi too. Remember that? Izumi wasn't innocent either; he had just killed nearly 400 people.

Let's just wait and see....
And Kei didn't kill Izumi because he had kill 400 people, but because he was going to kill Tae.

And Kei didn't kill Izumi because he had kill 400 people, but because he was going to kill Tae.Hmm? We know that. But Tae wasn’t the *only* reason Kei was pissed with Izumi, was it? You're suggesting that the genocide committed by Izumi was, to Kei, a small matter that he would consider neither here nor there? That Kei would just shrug it off? As I remember it Kei was pretty furious with Izumi about the whole thing. I do not think Kei would let Izumi get away with it again.
Let's just wait and see....Ummm. Yeah. Dont have much of an choice there.
My theory is that Gantz isn’t just a random Geek with high tech toys, out for his own enjoyment; That Gantz actually exists for the protection of mankind. Gantz gets people killed, sure, but that's tough love. Gantz needs warriors. The reason they aren't briefed is because a) Gantz is a n00b at human-computer interaction and b) Gantz needs warriors with the ability to survive on their own initiative.
My feeling is that Gantz doesn't actively set out to destroy human life, but to protect the masses. I don’t think Gantz will have the hunters kill hundreds of people. Anyway, that would be futile. By now the invasion of the Oni aliens is news around the world; kids with mobile phones were sending photos to their mates. Some one would put it up on the internet. There's no logical way that it could possibly be suppressed now. It's out.
It's going to be interesting to see how Kei's relationship to Izumi changes after this arc; will they combine forces again, or will their rivalry become even more embittered, now that their strength as hunters is so closely matched.

216 RAW (http://www.point-blank.cc:16384/allowed/torrent.php/%5BRaw-Manga%5D%20Gantz%20216.torrent)
214 Scanlation (http://www.point-blank.cc:16384/allowed/torrent.php/GantZ_214.zip.torrent)
We have Kei, Izumi, Izumi's panda, Inaba, Old dude, Kaze, Kaze's little fanboy… AND Sakata! Psychic dude hung in there! Gantz has begun the score tally and so far we know Sakata has 105 points, and he’s got the options up in front of him. Resurrection time... well shit, it all turned out good in the end.* :smile-big
*that is, unless there's about to be a genocide.

All Izumi wantz, is a little panda lovin. Cough
Its resurrection time baby: Gantz says: "I'm bringing ya back
psychic boy, to start your life anew, I got the super light ...
and the right to kill you again if I want ? cause I'm da man
and can drop anyone's kill points to 0 if you piss me off".

dont worry man I got u: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7QDMEICV
and thx for the links ghandi tho the 216 one didnt work it wasnt too hard to find the main page and navigate it there.
as for the chapter awesome. I guess it takes gantz longer to reform more mutilated bodies if theyre still alive which would explain the extra long waiting period on psychic-man. 105 points damn thats awesome, so looks like sakurai will be coming back! I wonder what everyone elses point totals will be. Im really expecting Kei to have 200 or something close to it since Izumi stole that last kill.
Countryside General should also have 100 or something close considering he got that big rock guy. He'll probably wish for the kid to get out of there if its possible.
And even Reika killed someone important, and alot of other people so she might have 100.
Though Im guessing sakurai's points were reset since he was brought back to liife.
Then theres Izumi who should be damn near 200 pts himself after killing the Oniboss and being the second highest before. I think he'll get a weapon...and next time if he survives maybe decide to revive someone like kei if he dies and Izumi thinks hes needed.
If kei gets 200 I hope he brings back Kaito. he'll probably bring back tae too, but as long as kaito comes back Im happy.

I'm glad to see that Kaze, Sakata, and the old man survived. I have a good feeling that Inaba's gonna try to fight in the next mission and die.
If Sakata brings Sakurai back, will he go back to his normal life or will he have to continue in the Gantz missions? The same goes for Katou and Kishimoto. Is there anyone else that Kurono wants to bring back other than Tae? Maybe Sakuraoka?

Yeah, sorry about that - I was drunk at the time and I wrote the code by hand, mistakenly putting " " around the link, which broke it :(. Fixxed it now, for what it's worth. Aah, my head is spinning now. Now I'm /really/ drunk.

If Sakata brings Sakurai back, will he go back to his normal life or will he have to continue in the Gantz missions?This is a really important question - I'll be very interested to find out. I'm guessing they'll be back in the Gantz mission cycle though. But, when you think about it, this would mean that Tae would have to be a hunter too... and she'd totally suck. There's no way she could ever get 100 points. Hrm.

Awesome chapter. I'm so very pleased to see Gantz hasn't decided to fuck them over and Sakata actually managed 105 points.
New chapter will own.

IF SAKATA BRINGS SAKURAI BACK? ................
what do you mean if? he says he will on the last page after he is shown he has more than 100 points (yay).

I wasnt trying too hard to read the Japanese when I was looking through the chapter the first time. Now that I look at it again, Sakata says:
"Sakurai o... Sakurai o ikikaerasete kure... "
=
"Sakurai... revive Sakurai then..."

sorry ghandi didnt know u drank alot. Ill rep u once ur reps enabled again. u should join my drunk FC! if you want. ANyway I wonder what Sakurai will be like when he comes back. Will he still be a Gantzer? and what if he loses all memories of being in Gantz and returns to the real world?..lol what if he is reborn as a baby...but I seriously doubt Gantz has that power since when he screwed up with Kishimoto he basically cloned her, and since hes only seen Sakurai at that age I guess he can only bring him back like that.
Well guess we'll know soon enough, just hope it doesnt mean Tae is now a gantzer as well. Speaking of which, if they have a mission to kill the photographers it'll start right after this, like the tae killing mission. What if Gantz says he'll kill the people he just brought back with no points if they dont kill the enemy? cuz he told Kei he had to get 15 points to survive after that mission he got reset to 0. I guess in that case Kei might actually decide to kill innocents...but what if it comes down to kids in the area? damn hope not.
