Gantz || phase 2 is go!!

[Vile.47]

Oh.. thanks alot TBH!

[DrunkenYoshimaster]

uhhhh i thought it happened in both
and drunkenyoshi dont repeat the same thing i just said thats pretty much spam and annoying.......

you type funny. Like most people type sentences to the end of the page. You hit the enter button after every sentence. I think I read all the posts but yours due to its odd structure being hard on the eyes. In fact compared to the beautiful word-wrapping of my post, it's an eyesore. Had I seen and processed your hideous post however I would not have posted mine.

J/K..when I clicked the thread it didnt send me to the last page for whatever reason so I completely missed your post coming right before mine. I was thinking of the same thing. I wouldnt have said it if I saw what you said though.

[Freija]

i wonder how good the vampires will do >_>

[Shur1ken]

they will be probably really amazing. they are on-par with the gantz members when they were in suits, so if the vampires are in suits... super vampires?

[mortsleam]

I dought the vampire will wear the suits if they did....Instant death for BlackSuits.

[Shur1ken]

but they have to work together now. or else their heads would blow up due to Gantz...

Is that alien some sort of Harpie....whatever it is poor Takeshi

[SwimmingTrunks]

there will be a chapter next week? the translation says next week right?

[TenshiOni]

Hisshouburaiken's translation says there will be a chapter next week, yes.

The 4 pages with the alien chasing down Takeshi were scary & great. :D

[Chamcham Trigger]

I'm all caught up with gantz *took me two days* but...but I still can't get over that onion kid. Nightmares I tell you. I can't get that poor kid's last words out of my head...:cry.

[Shur1ken]

man... thanks for the link, the new raws are pretty awesome. its gonna get really interesting

[Sasori]

I'm confused why was my post deleted TBH :confused

This is the Gantz thread right...?

And I asked for the scanlation...

Could you direct me to the correct place please =)

[WolfKiDD]

maybe its not out yet?

[Sasori]

Then someone should have said -_-"

lol I'm not a psychic you kno xD

[Moridin]

but it wouldn't take much effort to browse the thread and check >_>

we're just trying to cut back on teh number of where's the scanlation type agony posts as it bugs some users as well as some scanlation groups who frequent the boards.

last i knew there was a spanish scanlation out but no english one

[gnutte]

Illuminati and Townl are on it, last I heard. So it probably won't take long now.

[Sasori]

Actually I did browse back, and there was no mention of a scanlation.

But I guess the people who told me it was out was lying to me =/

So sorry for the hassle, and thanx for the help.

[PerfectFlaw]

You weird people. The scanlation was posted. Here's one page from it.

Maybe someone didn't want it posted? Seems kind of silly to me.

That's the previous chapter >.>

[PerfectFlaw]

Oops. Sorry. I'm a moron. But now I have something to look forward to. Hopefully it will be better than the last chapter. :/

wow, this is a special ocassion :P

I liked this chapter.

[ezxx]

i just read gantz in like 2 days and i have to say it's one of the craziest mangs i've ever read, so damn violent and unpredictble. I hate the fact the main character decides to leave after proclaiming to get back everyone but I also like how an unpredictble character is back

gantz is nuts

[Gurbik]

Man i finished phase one like 3 days ago, it seems like perfect timing :omg im glad i didnt have to wait like 4 months for new gants, cant wait for 240 scan i hate looking at raws its like peaking at christmas presents.

[uncanny_sama]

phase 2 is starting out boring

but takeshi is kicking ass now

It seems like people can see the gantzers and the aliens now.

[Shur1ken]

its all cool tho =D
since they rock

phase 2 is starting out boring

:woo

Booring? they just hit us with sudge a huge plot twist, now we have vampires under the controll of Gantz witch is fairly odd considering it seems as tho Gantz's true purpose is to kill vampires.

[Phoenix Wright]

WTF Kurono died! Though his character was getting a bit played out, and I didn't really like him picking Tae over Reika, him dying was a huge shock.

Hopefully he gets revived soon (Kishimoto too!).

[Prince Leon]

Gantz was awesome with Kurono. Without him...er...let's just say we need him back soon. xD

[gnutte]

If he's not back soon, the whole gantz manga will start to deteriorate.

[Gurbik]

Kurono was one of the best made charactures ive ever read, the way he transformed through stage one was amazing you didnt even realize it happend realy also how could he not pick tae if he hadnt it would have been gay. My real question is what what the wepon izume got was and why it didnt help him outside the game.

[Prince Leon]

@Gurbik: Agreed. Kurono is one of the best written characters I've ever come across in all of anime/manga that I've seen. Kurono will forever be the true main character of Gantz whether he is revived or not (he had better be revived soon though).

As for chapter 240...can you say Mini-Pwnage?! :nuts

[Shur1ken]

yeah, that kid is gonna rock it hard =D
suprising, that suit would even work for him...

[Powdered Toast Man]

OMG!!!
Did Takeshi just whoop ass with the big back hit(I named Kazes move that). The countryside general would be proud.
And does Gantz not care anymore after the Oni alien mission. I mean what the hell...everyone sees this shit and desn't even try to help out a kid who's getting his head eaten.
And where the hell is Nishi?

[Kefka]

But that's what would happen in real life... if you see a geisha with no eyes or nose eating a kid's head I'm sure you wouldn't help him either :P

[Acidblood7]

But that's what would happen in real life... if you see a geisha with no eyes or nose eating a kid's head I'm sure you wouldn't help him either :P

[TheBlindHyuuga]

OMG!!!

And where the hell is Nishi?

invisible as always?....>__>...he was in the room in chapter 238

[ezxx]

i wonder what purpose Nishi will serve...kishimoto should've came back but i suppose that's too predictable

[Rokudaime]

this series is crazy

everyone die like flies.

so who is the current main character?

[TheBlindHyuuga]

i wonder what purpose Nishi will serve...kishimoto should've came back but i suppose that's too predictable

but would Kishimoto have been useful in the upcoming fights against the vamps?....at least Nishi was at 90 points before he kicked the bucket....so he had much more experience.

this series is crazy

everyone die like flies.

so who is the current main character?

you could always catch up and find out...:amuse

[Shur1ken]

yeah... althought he is probably the better. he also knows about it all and thats the real reason why he was chosen.

[Kefka]

Those aliens reminded me of Berserk :P Interesting chapter.

[Moridin]

so we meet a new team ^__^ interesting chapter i guess

[Vodrake]

Pretty interesting chapter. The new aliens look like they came straight from ancient japanese paintings of demons.

I don't know much about japanese dialects, but from the way that guy spoke it seems the new team are from Osaka, though that's probably been mentioned elsewhere before...

[HisshouBuraiKen]

Translation for 241 is (and will always be) up at mangahelpers.com and stoptazmo.com

Check those sites every week, I'm usually lucky in being on when the raws come out.

[Shur1ken]

can't wait to see what they talk about =P

[Lucifer]

interesting, new team is japanese? they looks like foreigner or some, lol

[Rokudaime]

I just watched chapter 238 and I really LOL..

Those vampire just made themselves as Gantz's puppet...

[Kimi Sama]

Oh man, seeing the little guy shoulder block that monster was awesome. I was wondering when he'd realise he has super strength.

It's interesting the vamps weren't aware of the head bombs. You'd think they would be better informed than that. Also looks like they didnt bother putting the suits on, which is probably good news for the other Gantzers.

Also interesting to see we have a new team. I guess since the normal cast have always been in Tokyo before, these guys must be the resident Osaka team. Which means there are probably other Gantz teams in other cities, with other rooms... and maybe other Gantzs, as well?

Can't wait to see how the two teams react to each other. The Osaka team seem to have pretty hard eyes, so methinks they are experienced.

Oh yeah, this is by far the freakiest monster set yet. Like someone said earlier, they totally look like something twisted out of Berserk. Which is a good thing, I think :amuse

[Kefka]

With that many aliens everyone will get 100 points again :P

[Shur1ken]

yessss, bring back some people?
=D

[Rokudaime]

I want to see more vampire action..

I guess those 2 Vampire are now dumb-founded because of their own stupidity..

[Powdered Toast Man]

With that many aliens running amok I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of the cast gets killed. For some reason I see either Kaze, or Inaba being the ones.
-Inaba was cool but honestly he's been pussying his way into srviving the games and he barely lived last time, choosing sex over survival...can't blame him though.
-Kaze I swear he'll have to save takashi...it would suck if he dies though
but him being alone and with that many...horribly disgusting aliens running around I'd expect nothing less.

The other team looks pretty cool, rather plain but cool nonetheless, especially the apparent leader...black guy FTW!

But dear lord seeing these aliens makes me wonder what the hell goes on in Oku's head.

And for gods sake Nishi make an appearance.

[Tower Bridge]

yay 241
http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index.php?topic=12232.0


Who do you like best out of Kei, Katou and Izumi?

for me it's:
1. Izumi
2. Katou
3. Kei
But I like them all.

[Prince Leon]

Kurono > All

He's the reason Gantz is Gantz.

[Tower Bridge]

I don't know, for some reason I don't miss his presence at all in the second phase. I like seeing Katou leading the Gantz team.
Kei will eventually be revived though. But since Izumi was also killed from outside of the Gantz game, he might be able to be revived, just don't know who will actually revive him. Maybe Nishi, or Katou but unlikely.

[Sasori]

Reika > tits > all

Thanx ram, this chapter looks awesome

[Gurbik]

ram is that raw or scanned? also Kei is the best, period. i imagin we will se him back in a few weeks after this battle is over, with literaly thousands of aliens. However i dont see more then one or two people getting 100 points, maybe nishin and katou, i can see nishin pulling somthing like rezing kei as payback and then kei asking katou to rez izumi. I dont think anyone will die this round i actualy think we will see alot of people get stronger.

The raw has been out for four days and yet nobody over at mangahelpers has bothered to translate it?

[Acidblood7]

To me it looks like the manga series is moving towards a massive alien invasion, and Gantz isnt able to control the secrecy anymore, so might turn into a full out war? ^_^

Also after last major event, think the Japanese military would take notice ^_^

Something like that is going to happen, you know Gantz is gonna mess with him XD

[Deniz]

this chapter was awesome. I wonder what takeshi will do with his 100 points?
maybe kaze will die and he will revive him?

[GantzFan]

maybe for a new weapon since he really has no home to go to or someone will die and he will revive him.

[Athrum]

The monsters in Osaka are pretty fucked up, they all look like creatures from japanese folklore

[Emery]

Can someone point me in the direction of where I can download Gantz by the volume? There's plenty of sites that have them in single chapters, but that'd take forever.

Also, please do not direct me to the pimping project, they take FOREVER.

All volumes if you can, please.

Can anyone tell me what chapter the guy with the long sword dies. I am trying to start reading Gantz again but its been awhile.

I download all my Manga's from this site:

Yep, get it?

Phase 2 is the manga, and Phase 3 is the scanlation process! Ain't it genius? XD

[Kimi Sama]

Gotta love Osaka accents in manga. The scanslators definitly had some fun with that one.

Should be fun to see how the two teams interact now that the initial distrust has been dispelled by Reika's enormous tits.

Anyway, awesome to see the kid (I forget his name) owning more ass. I thought his 15 minutes of fame were up from the way he got surrounded last time.

Also... it's interesting that that last creature seemed to actualy be acting like it was a ghost/spirit.

Maybe they aren't always aliens after all?

[GantzFan]

when's243 coming?

I heard mid or late January

[Gurbik]

anyone heard anything new about 243?

[gnutte]

I think the date was the 25th January. Which means we get it a few days earlier, around tuesday most likely.

[Freija]

damn, the guy has had like 3 months or so to make tons of chaps, and as soon as he starts releasing again.... he's out of chapters, he should just finish the manga quickly if he can't keep up anymore

[Emery]

It's not that. It's a matter of when Young Jump decides to publish it.

Ive been reading gantz for a while, its my fav. manga.

Yea the release of chapters is a pain the breaks are unexpected.

[Champloon]

Holy s*it watz up with that new megaman canon the osaka squadron ppl are carrying? Is that the 100 pnt weapon that gantz was talking about?

[Powdered Toast Man]

Pretty good chapter....
Is the Osaka team a bunch of addicts?
And honestly that huge shit they're carrying around one their arms is awesome. Maybe that's the 100 pt weapon.
Nice ending to the chap too, Kaze saves the day with the classic move. Takeshi has to be closing in to 100 pt after this one.

[Kepa]

hehe, that other (Osaka?) team is waay better than the tokyo team :P

but eh, getting high before going an a berserker deathmatch with aliens?? I'm beginning to think the mangaka never smoked in his life, because the last thing I'd wanna do when high is go fight :/

[Athrum]

Yeah, at least 3 of them seem to have the EPW (Extremely Powerful Weapon) and man the Osaka team seems to know what they're doing, they wipe trough the aliens like they are nothing, and they have 2 Gantz bikes, this seems to imply that they do this for fun, maybe when someone dies they ressurect him but just continue to kill aliens

edit: maybe those are steroids and not drugs :)

[Kepa]

edit: maybe those are steroids and not drugs :)well it could be... but that bike rider depicted a heroine taker IMO :)
(besides, you don't have to take steroids before a fight... you take them when you're training to get stronger. He obviously wanted to fight like a monster). Besides, I also don't think it's so necessary to take a shot right in your artery :P

It just seems to me those guys realised they get a new and "clean" body every time they complete the mission...and they seem to get kicks from killing aliens. So why not take drugs :P
Hell, if tomorrow gantz gave me a pair of fresh new lungs every time I wanted I'd smoke 50 cigarettes a day.:nuts (sadly that's not the case so I don't smoke :amazed)

[RODtheTV]

Yea, I think that was the connotation with the weed smoking and mp3s. Everyone was like, Let's listen to some tunes, rip it, do some heroine, and take out some aliens. It's no big deal... yo man can I get a rip?

THat's kind of like what I imagine they were thinking. It kind of put's the team around here in perspective. Either this team is incredibly powerful or the old school team is pathetic.

[GantzFan]

there are probably living like there is no tomorrow because there may not as well be if they're in gantz

[Fire101]

It just seems to me those guys realised they get a new and "clean" body every time they complete the mission

They don't get a new body everytime. Only when they were injured, Gantz seemed to bring back an earlier copy of them before they got hurt. Like with the Big Bird aliens. When Kurono is brought back, he doesn't know what happened to the boss, because thats a copy from just before the boss picks him up. So, unless Gantz brings back a copy from the very start of the mission everytime, which would mean they would never have any memory of the fight, they don't get a clean body.

Damn, Osaka team is hardcore ! X-T stole my words ! When I saw the rape scene, I was like "WTF ? They're insane ?", but then I said "oh... ok then... It's like with female cylons. Only that I pity the cylons and not the aliens"

But I wonder if their behaviour has a reflection in their non-gantz "free-time"... What if they are assholes ? When "alive" too ?

[Champloon]

:eek

Is all i could muster when i saw the Osaka team do wat they did...

They some hard core gantz playerz!

[conceptz]

Good chapter!

it sucks so much that chapters are released monthly.

[Jotun]

Wtf, were they just raping an alien?

[SwimmingTrunks]

dont you wish for kurono and izumi to just come back and put this little osaka bitches in their places? :p

[Athrum]

it sucks so much that chapters are released monthly.

Actually they are bi-weekly.

Kurono and Izumi back to put the Osaka team into place? Nah!
Im liking Osaka team way more than Tokyo team right now, and judging by their abilities i dont know that Kurono and Izumi would be able to stand against them.

[Kaaspeer]

Wtf raping monsters...

They must be pretty desparate :P
Other than that.
Holy... that's just plain awesome.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Whoa.....the Osaka team took the game to a whole new level, that's some sick shit.
Takeshi is still whoopin ass, I swore he would've died his first time around.

hey whats gonna happen with the male hostess and the girl?

izumi for the win

I even wonder if those Osaka Team actually fought those Buddha Monster or Oni Alien level before?

I wish they got owned in this current arc.

and hell no, Tokyo Team should alive...all of them...

[Red]

if they had fought the buddah or oni levels they would have been owned big time.

[Athrum]

2weeks without a chapter....i cant stand it...

[MuNaZ]

See, if Kurono were alive now, he'd have owned all those punk-asses from the start. :noworry

SO True....

I'm Still hoping the vampires just decide to kill these bastards... they're really sick...

[Lord Snow]

I really do hope they bring back Kurono and soon at that. After he died, it feels like theres a huge hole in the manga. The characters feel kinda empty now without him. I'm glad they got Kato back though but, Kurono's character growth was just sooo much better and more interesting. I just don't see what else can happen with the rest of the characters, growth wise, besides a very few. What can Kato do? Finally realize he has to pull the trigger... that's just too old now.

I feel bummed now haha,

later.

[Athrum]

Man, Kaze is a BEAST!!

[MuNaZ]

And here i was expecting a chapter a litle more about the sick bastards...
Great Chapter can't wait for a translation...

[TenshiOni]

Translation by Hisshouburaiken: http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index.php?topic=15842.0

Kaze is the fucking man.

[Kimi Sama]

Wow, Countryside General FTW! I think that was the most impressive display of strength since that time Kurono jumped through the giant Buddha's head.

Nice to get some more background on Kaze at last too. That scene with the tot immitating his shoulder barge and the flashback to his youth were a welcome change.

I think Takeshi (I think that's the kid's name?) is either going to spend this entire arc in mortal danger, or is going to die before the end, since his suit has gone down and we've had his and Kaze's relationship focused on in such a touching way. Either that or Kaze will be the one to bite it, protecting him.

Bad things happen to happy people in Gantz...

[conceptz]

still waiting for a scanlation but looking at the comments, I guessed Kaze dropped the pwn bomb.

[Emery]

Phase 3 will have a HQ out of the chapter by tomorrow. We're halfway done.

Here's a quality example:

QFT!!

Yeah since he got attached to the kid that I've been waiting for him to die. But i guess that point distribution will be just around the corner because the Osaka team obliterated the rest of the aliens.

245 HQ by Phase 3. :3

Thanks for the link.:)

*downloading*

[Kefka]

Wow, one of the best chapters so far. ^^

[Athrum]

246 raw is out
http://www.megaupload.com/pt/?d=19CG2G63


Osaka team is losing some members here, how many are there left? Besides the survivors don't seem to preoccupied. Also it seems the Bosses appeared, a Kitsune a Tengu and another dude i don't about lol.

[SwimmingTrunks]

is that the junkie who got beheaded? man i thought he was hardcore :/

[Athrum]

No the junkie appears to be on another part of the town.

[Rokudaime]

Is the naked guys died or what? I mean why the same monster attacking other Gantzer?

[Jotun]

Those are some h4x weps they got.

[Giorno Giovanna]

THIS MANGA KICKS ASS!

Took me a day to catch up to the manga, but man it's awesome. I have a couple of things to say though:

1. The mangaka knows how to draw his titties. I mean, Reika-chan and Kishimoto-chan's are HUGE. HUGE RACKS, RIDICOUSLY HUGE RACKS! I just hope Reika-chan does not die.:cry

2. The Osaka team is messed up in the head, but I still don't like them.

3. It just doesn't feel right without Kurono. He was Gantz and even though it's still pretty good, it's nothing without him. Hell, even though he was an ass, Izumi was a badass as well. Hopefully, they get revived some way.

I can't wait to see how this story unravels. Great manga.

[theshad]

Is the naked guys died or what? I mean why the same monster attacking other Gantzer?

Nah, that monster naked guy was fighting ran from him after he shot its tail. Naked guy looks like he is strong as hell :nod

[Emery]

Phase 3 is currently working on a HQ.

This raw is a bitch to work with, though. So you'll have to bare with us for a while.

HQ by Phase 3.

[Tsuuga]

Damn, it's getting intense.

[Lord Snow]

Wow. Rapist dude has some skills. I wonder if he and the other 2 can survive the bosses though. Katou's team and vampires just disappeared too. I can`t wait to see the new weapon in action.

[~Shin~]

Same here. I really want to see what those weapons are capable of.

And I was wondering how does the mangaka draw so good? The art is simply stunning

[Kimi Sama]

Wow, Osaka dudes are starting to drop like flies. I love the fact the stoned members treat thier comrades being ripped in half in the same way you'd react to a mate dropping thier beer or something. Those guys are fucked up.

Really good chapter anyway. Can't wait to see what those three boss looking creatures do, I get the feeling they will be displaying some insane abilities before too long so we might be in for something similar to the Oni alien battles.

I like the theme of Japanese spirits as well. Does anyone know what the old man is supposed to be, since we have a Tengu and a wierd sort of Taoist Kyuubi?

Oh and Alien Rapist Dude was very impressive considering he literaly ran rings around that creature without his suit. I think he'll be a survivor. Could have done without seeing his hard-on, though. That's got to be a first in manga for me I think.

[Moridin]

haha the osaka team are priceless, being killed off a little easily but I have a feeling the remaining guys will lay down some serious pwnage soon =p

the boss creatures look cool, its getting interesting :3

[Giorno Giovanna]

I can't wait for the remaining Osaka teammates to show those new weapons! They're gonna look so badass!

But yeah, the other Osaka teammates did get killed horribly, especially the stoners. Those were the most hilarious.:laugh

[MdB]

Same here. I really want to see what those weapons are capable of.

And I was wondering how does the mangaka draw so good? The art is simply stunning

CG (post to short)

[HisshouBuraiKen]

haha the osaka team are priceless, being killed off a little easily but I have a feeling the remaining guys will lay down some serious pwnage soon =p

the boss creatures look cool, its getting interesting :3

Yeah, the middle one is Nuralihyon, the main target for the hunt.

Out of everything, I'm most looking forward to seeing everyone react to the (likely) huge amount of points Takeshi racked up. He, Kaze, and probably Nishi are the only ones who'll get any points, and I'd be willing to bet Takeshi gets the most.

I'm wondering where the vampires went...I wish the others had tried to take them down for revenge.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Well the Osaka team got served, damn.
lol at the naked guy that was awesome, him running around that alien.
The last panel is too awesome, those two are a bit too confident but they looked cool doing it.

[Athrum]

Where is ma 247 raw?? :(


Edit: Oh yeah i forgot, no GANTZ until April :(:(:(

[-DBC-]

After this mission you guys think this'll be the last we see of the Osaka team?

I'm quite interested in how the storys gunna turn after this mission... but from the the looks of it theres gunna be very few points added to the "new life for kurono" fund.

[Athrum]

So 247 is out and
WHat the..??! That weapon's just crazy, really powerful, turned an alien into mush lol, maybe next chapter we will see the vampires in action

[Powdered Toast Man]

Found chapter 247 online somewhere, guess I'll post the like since no one else is, it's not a DL link though. Ch 247- LQ (http://www.onemanga.com/Gantz/247/01/)
This mission is getting better seems like they're having second thoughts bout reviving Kurono. And Vampire/Katou action next week it seems
No chapter until 28th

[Champloon]

Chap 247
Holy crap it seems i was right the megaman canon was the 100 point weapon (turned that alien into a pool of blood!)

And it seems that the group wont have to do anything due to team Osaka though my guess is with alot of their members dying they might have to help anyway

No chapter until the 28th :cry

[Shiraishi]

The absence of naked rapist Osaka warrior of the ultimate bad ass shooting power makes me sad.

Where is he?

He is the new generation of Sniper Guy; he's the Osaka version who fights naked, kills aliens and rapes the women aliens. I would never rape an alien...or commend it, but the guy is just crazy cool and relaxed.

How is he not the greatest thing since Sniper Guy?

[Prince Leon]

Chapter 247 HQ from Shockave:

DDL: [ShocWave]_GantZ_c247.zip (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8JJ2JES6)

[Emery]

^ That's a MQ. It's still easier on the eyes than the other two. The raw was atrocious.

[Beatnik]

Shocwave (http://shocwave.caticus.com/) have caught up, but I dont use bittorrent so can anyone tell me how I can get their volumes 19 and 20? They're not on emule yet, and shocwave's http links dont work. :(

[Kalle85]

No chapter until 28th
You sure about that? At the End of Chapter 247 it says: "Gantz will return April 12. Complete with pinups & color Cover."

[slumpy]

Chapter 247 HQ from Shockave:

DDL: [ShocWave]_GantZ_c247.zip (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8JJ2JES6)

Alright!!!!!

i gonna check this chapter, after reading the the spoilers.

[Athrum]

Gantz will return on the 28th, it's on the raw.
To get the new chapters from ShocWave use bittorrent or just go to their IRC channel on rizon.

[CalRahhh]

Finally got up to date. I read it all this weekend :P

Man, those Osaka dudes rule!
"What are those?"
"Heads?"
"Huh? Heads?...WHOA, they are heads!"
"This chicks kinda cute, definately my type"

:laugh

Nice sig. Is that fanart or did Oku actually draw that?

[Emery]

^ I think that was a panel from the chapter where the alien impersonating Reika screwed Inaba.

[~Shin~]

Interesting turn of events in the new chapter.

[CalRahhh]

^ I think that was a panel from the chapter where the alien impersonating Reika screwed Inaba.

nah, its just one of those character portraits that are at the start of most chapters. Forget which chapter though :oh

[Lord Snow]

I like the way Reika so casually dished out the truth about the killing game in 247. She makes Katou look like a wuss. He seems completely confused with his goals and his life purpose. Now if this continue I'm not sure if we will ever see "titz" again!

To me it seems the Tokyo team has lost the "spark". Without the life and fighting spirit of Kurono the team seems so "lost"... something is certainly missing. And so far there's too little background or character development for the Osaka guys. All I know about them is they are some wild killers and crazy (one of them raped an alien for god's sake!).

I have hope for Nishi or the vampires though. They are kind of unpredictable.

[theshad]

I wouldn't mind if the focus turned to the Osaka team instead of Tokyo, without Kurono they are kind of bitches now.

[Athrum]

Yeah, we'll probably have to wait for the end of the hunt to get some insight on osaka team.

[Shiraishi]

All I know is Naked Rapist with Boner from Osaka better not die. If he died, I will be totally sad.

The guy is as bad ass as Random Sniper.

And I wanna' see this guy clash with more aliens.

[Tower Bridge]

I have a feeling Izumo would have worked really well in that crazy Osaka team.

[Prince Leon]

Kurono would pwn the entire Osaka team. :noworry

[Shiraishi]

Kurono would pwn the entire Osaka team. :noworry

Naked Rapist?

No.

No he wouldn't own Naked Alien Rapist from Osaka with Boner.

[Prince Leon]

Especially that guy. He'd do about 13 back-flips before shooting him in the balls. :thumbs

[CalRahhh]

or rather, Only the Naked Rapist dude, cause all the rest of the Osaka team seem to be be getting pwned by the aliens, so Kurono wouldn't have to worry about owning them.

[G3ntleF!st]

anybody notice nishi is not there?

oh and you people need to get out more you act like you never seen an alien get raped.

[Moridin]

finally read 247, man those osaka guys are awesome xD

they'd stomp all over tokyo even with kurono

[Tower Bridge]

Yea, they're on another level.
And there must be even better Gantz teams out there in other countries, ones that have survived since the beginning. The end of mission interaction should be interesting though, hopefully they aren't transported straight back.

[theshad]

The only Osaka guys that have been really impressive so far are naked rapist and druggy. Black guy with gun is probably a beast too since he got the gun in the first place but we didn't get to see him disintegrating that one alien. I think that the Tokyo team could take them if they had Izumi and Kurono alive. I actually forgot that Nishi had even been revived we have seen so little of him, where the hell has he been?

[Sasori]

He's invisible fapping to Naked rapist guy's boner.

[Athrum]

My friends 248 is out

Gantz 248 (http://www.sendspace.com/file/fjmxby)

Here is the direct download, there are some cool color pages, i'll do a little summary when i finish work.

[Rokudaime]

Wow..Great chapter.

[Sasori]

Is that the raw? Or a sub?

[Moridin]

pretty cool chapter :3

its raw sasori

[theshad]

Scans are out now, apparently the vampires and the aliens are working together, I always thought they were seperate groups.

[Fire101]

Vampies and the Oni Alien worked together. It's not inconceivable that these are workin together too.

[Champloon]

Does anyone know...
Who the chick on pg 17 is? I didnt see her with the Osaka team earlier and she kinda looks like a short haired Reika or is that reika? :confused

[Athrum]

No, she's someone from Osaka Team, by the way she talks, maybe we'll know next chapter who she is...

[Red]

I wanna see that male hostess vampire and his chick kick some ass.

[theshad]

Vampies and the Oni Alien worked together. It's not inconceivable that these are workin together too.

Hmm I forgot that I guess, I thought that every time the vampires have shown up they were just doing things on their own.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Pretty good chapter, interested in how the Vamps conversation with the head aliens will go.
Did Oku forget about Nishi or something?

[darksage78]

Whoa, 247 was pretty awesome. I wonder what other weapons the Osaka team has... Anyone know when 248 comes out?

[Athrum]

248 is already out my friend, and 249 will come out in two weeks..

[darksage78]

Is the scanlation for 248 out too? Cause I checked out your link on the previous page and it was the raw.

[Athrum]

Yeah, but some dudes translated it already, just search it on manga-updates.

[CalRahhh]

Does anyone have any links to a scanlation of the latest chapter? The only manga place I know of is really slow (only just updated with 247), so if its out they won't have it for ages anyway.

[Rokudaime]

WOw..thanks for the link

[darksage78]

Sweet, thanks Emery :)

[CalRahhh]

Awsome, thanks!!!

[Sasori]

Thanks Mori, and Thank you Emery for the scans =)

[CalRahhh]

New chapter was pretty cool. That guy Katou saved was an ass, but at least it kinda helped Katou realize that (as Reika said) its not their job to save innocent people. I guess you could say after a little while, people might start taking it for granted that the Gantz team will save them.

[Athrum]

Yeah, i miss the way Tokyo Team slaughtered aliens :(

[Champloon]

Team aint the same since
Kurono died
Someones gotta step up to the plate and lead this team
I dnt care if its Kato or Reika but they really need their fighting spirit back :(

[Athrum]

Chapters 249 is out

[tGre teh Disleksik]

yeah...Katou is fudging awesome though..im glad he's back...so far the present team + Izumi and Kurono would rape...

Muscle Rider is a tank and a half XD

[CalRahhh]

Woah! That monster at the end looked awsome! This should be interesting......
that Osakan chick pisses me off though.
