Gantz || phase 2 is go!!

[Yoburi]

:pek nishi would go invisible, grab super gun and vaporize you, along with city block you stand on. :pek

LOL is this a joke? Nishi lost his life to a robot that look like Lee from Naruto in what 10 seconds he didn't kill shit there even kishimoto did better than him there but thats ok i can try to belive that was just bad luck but now he lost again in 2 seconds using a 100 points super gun and he left Izumi to die because he didn't have the guts to fight the vampires the prove of this is because he give a call to team Tokyo so Nishi can't kill shit my city block not even me.:nuts

u liek that mecha?

yes it looks awesome, i just want to see what the 7-time winner guy looks like, his personality, i kinda imagine a totally insane mad scientist battle freak type with like frizzy hair and shit and wild eyes laughing constantly. but i could be totally wrong

didnt you see how nishi handled that "gangsta" when he pointed the gun at him? yeah thats right nishi blew his face up immediately. also nishi wears a business suit. he owns PERIOD

[Yoburi]

I also see Nishi saying that gangsta was a pice of shit and that shit shot first on Nishi face and this help his dead when Android Lee attacked, damn nishi only kill the Onion alien that Kuronu had already held and this "gangsta" if you want a real awesome Gantz player try Izumi or Kurono they not only owns but they kill too even when the uniform is destroyed. (Nishi shit himself when "Lee" destroyed his uniform after saying that everybody will die even Kurono:notrust)

[AbnormallyNormal]

nishi was also awesome going inviisble against the vampires and blowing its head off with izumi :pek

[fxu]

Noo bitch, don't kill Nishi!!! :arg

-----
If Kurono is revived, he will regain the memories he had when he was killed by the vampire.

I doubt it ... Kurono died in the real life, so I'm guessing if he is revived, he will get the memories he last got in the game... the memories with which he left the game. Everything after that shouldn't be stored cus it didn't happen in the game.

actually
Kurono shouldnt be in Gantz's memory bank
He got his freedom and his memories erased, so all the data on Gantz was probably erased too, then he died while not being associated with Gantz in any way :zaru

No, he still is ... Izumi beat the game already, but when he came back, Gantz recognized him .. saying he had 100 points. Click (http://www.onemanga.com/Gantz/135/04/) (and go to the next page as well)

So If Kurono comes back, he should have 35 points already since he beat the game with 135 ... either start with 35, or 135. Click (http://www.onemanga.com/Gantz/220/12-13/)


The memories are erased from their head, but the data is still stored in Gantz ... let's see if they can revive somebody who didn't die in the game.

[•Sharingan Squid•]

No, he still is ... Izumi beat the game already, but when he came back, Gantz recognized him .. saying he had 100 points. Click (and go to the next page as well)

So If Kurono comes back, he should have 35 points already since he beat the game with 135 ... either start with 35, or 135. Click

look at the page again
the guys in the background are not there during this mission, it was just him regaining his memory
Mental pictures ftw :zaru

also, when Sakurai was revived, he had 0 points, while he definately had some before...

But anyways, if Kurono comes back, he'll probably start with 35 points.

[AbnormallyNormal]

nishi rules :pek

how long does scan norm take

lately its been taking an entire week, i have no clue why

[Rokudaime]

LOL Nishi !

The only cool factor of him is he actually wearing a casual cloth to cover the ugly suit.

[fxu]

Gantz 267 (http://www.mangashare.com/dl/Gantz_267/314/) right out of the oven.

Get it while it's hawwttt

LOL Nishi !

yes this man speak the true!

[•Sharingan Squid•]

next chapter should be epic rape though :amuse

just... 3 weeks until 268 :arg :argh

[Blind Itachi]

Finally it gets better...


poor Nishi... his suit got a sleeve less :(...


and Katou acting like a man = awesome...

[Jicksy]

katou was kinda cool there :lmao

and nishi u idiot :yell how could u let urself get hit :yell

the rest of the tokyo team should get raped for not helping katou :del

[•Sharingan Squid•]

People i expect to die:
Sakata, who will be ironically revived by Sakurai :zaru
Kaze, tragedy would bring some flavour, so likely Takeshi too...
and Inaba, wtf is that guy still doing alive? :pek

[Gallic Rush]

Anyone know what the 100-pointer did to blow up all those people and Nishi's right arm?

[Yoburi]

All Inaba wants is to fuck reika... well me too but this guy is useless!

I want to see the old man fighting again he is the best partner Kurono ever have :amuse

[helpmenow316]

is there any news for new anime eps ??

[Graham Aker]

Nishi - so badass when he went invisible
I hope the Tokyo team fails and gets killed. Those bitches, especially Reika as it was her decision, disappointed me when they refused to help.

[spaZ]

That chapter was a little confusing with everything just blowing up without the Alien doing anything.

[Emery]

I'd say it's about time for a Tokyo death. It's gotta be either Inaba or Sakata. I don't know why Inaba is still alive.

[Supa Swag]

Nishi - so badass when he went invisible
I hope the Tokyo team fails and gets killed. Those bitches, especially Reika as it was her decision, disappointed me when they refused to help.


That shit was funny. One chapter they're all like "YEA LETZ SAVE KURONO"

Then like 2 chapters later it's "changed our mindz lol! fuck everybody" with Sakata saying some shit about reviving him would cheapen his life (even though he did the same for Cherry) and Reika going "he wont luv me so fuck him! :cry"

Everyone except Katou, Kaze, Hoi Hoi and Takeshi can rot in hell...except Reika. We need to see her naked (and not some alien imposter), then she can rot in hell.

lol Inaba. The 5 year old kid is a better soldier than him. :rofl

[•Sharingan Squid•]

i think i figured out how Nurarihyon kills
he has bad breath :lmao
http://www.onemanga.com/Gantz/267/11/ (note the bottom right panel)
http://www.onemanga.com/Gantz/267/12/

then when Katou is rescuing those guys... (throwing girls in rivers AND looking cool, i mean, how does he pull it off? :gar)
http://www.onemanga.com/Gantz/267/15/

crappy theory :edu :zaru

[Lucifer]

yea saw that bad breath too lol..

but I am confused about Nuri did kill soldiers with his fast breath or another special ability?

why oka is taking so long? toy-playing with aracharaus?

[Karin Maaka]

I just read the chapter, and.. WTF Nishi.

I didn't think he'd get blown to bits that easily... :|

[AbnormallyNormal]

damn was nishi's reaction to the evolution of 100 pter awesome as hell, he looked so devilish going invisible with super gun. too bad the monster destroyed his arm the gun right away lol. at least katou saved him, nishi is way too awesome to die. everyone but katou, nishi, kaze, and the blonde vampire ought to be killed. and of course i cant fucking wiat to check out the 7-time winner from osaka. MECHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rokudaime]

I hope that it wont turned into Buddah arc v2.0.....Why?Because I dont want to see the mangaka pull another 20 chapters to introduce a new character...

[mystictrunks]

Time for Sakata and Sakurai to save the day

those little pussies will die

Sakata maybe but Sakurai stands for Truth, Justice, and The Japanese way.

at first i liked them both but then the lame way izumai killed them... and the lame way the fire one killed one... and then the guy doesnt want to revive him again. blah their powers are way too limited otherwise they would rock

[mystictrunks]

Everyone got taken out like a lame by Izumi.

As far as their powers go it seemed like there's a lot to them they haven't explored. Hell Sakurai seems much more creative with his powers than Sakata ever was(see bullet blocking) I can see Sakurai busting out with some creative stuff since he has more potential and doesn't have to worry about his organs.

[fxu]

MECHA
MECHA
MECHA
MECHA-FUCKING-TASTIC!!!!!!!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[•Sharingan Squid•]

i dont see Sakata or Sakurai being able to do much against Nuri with their powers... :oh
unless they can lift cars and throw them at him, that is, and even that wont do much good :LOS

i dont want them to die, really, i see much more potential and use for them in the future... then again, i saw potential in Hijiri, the sniper guy, Hojo and Kishimoto too :LOS

Yeah, the sniper guy was bad ass. Sniping alien ass on rooftops and without wearing the Gantz suit, just a shirt and pyjamas.

dont forget he hid inside a dead alien carcass then busted out to attack the hindu goddess

[•Sharingan Squid•]

If the sniper guy had kept on shooting after Hijiri took 1000 arms' clocks out, he would have survived :D:

[Yoburi]

But only Kurono knows this sniper guy and Kato will use his points for Kurono first them kishimoto i am sure.

[AbnormallyNormal]

But only Kurono knows this sniper guy and Kato will use his points for Kurono first them kishimoto i am sure.

[Jicksy]

sniper dude was awesome lol

i just wanna see some more blonde vampire badassness... his most awesome quote ever

"i just want my finger back" :lmao

[Penance]

Odds are...everyone's splitting the points...

Omg, I want to see more Reika.

Anyone know what the release schedule for Gantz is?

:amazed damnit got me all excited for the next chapter :nuts

[Yoburi]

Oh my i loved did that...

Inaba just die like a pig or just got fucked!

Oh i still belive Kato will make 100 points a mean just look at tokyo when kurono is not around they are losers, they and we need Kurono back!

[AbnormallyNormal]

they're not losers without kurono... bringing kurono back would be idiotic. the best thing the mangaka can do for gantz is maintain the unpredictability and unorthodox nature of the story. it doesnt need a "Main hero" in fact it needs to NOT have one

[Yoburi]

Donst need the Main Hero? This is not some Naruto or Bleach shit we are talking about this is Gantz and this manga needs Kurono to be good just Kato don't work try reading Berseker without Guts or Hellsing without Alucard they became stupid and well unpredictability but who the hell i will see fighting that Inaba? reika?

I don't know how much love Kurono have but to me he is the best thing on this manga and Izumi was very cool too, they didn 't desarve to die like that this manga must have them not bringing them back would be idiotic!

[AbnormallyNormal]

we have multiple big guys now. nishi, katou, blonde vampire, kaze, hell even that little shit cherry. and maybe even "oka" the chief of osaka team too. kurono and izumi got too big for their britches, and thats why the blonde vamp was allowed to execute them

[Sasori]

Oka is gona be pwnage. The way the Osaka team casually said that he will finish the 100 pointer for him speaks levels.

Also, Kurono is gona be revived. Hopefully.

[Supa Swag]

they're not losers without kurono...

They're about as useful as a tanning machine is to blacks. Kaze and Katou are the obvious exception. Cherry too when he acts right.

Reika wants eternal love and beauty? OMG why the author insists to shit over her first was that "Oh if kurono will never love me then fuck him" and now this! give her a break please.

[AbnormallyNormal]

lol tokyo team look like amateurs, just a bunch of random dopes wandering around about to face incarnation of destruction :zaru

reika owned aliens a lot in the oni arc dont forget though, so her surviving isnt total BS. at least old man and inaba can depart us :awesome

[•Sharingan Squid•]

lol Inaba and Suzuki :zaru
and i believe Sakata will be ironically revived

oh and this manga doesnt need Kurono, Katou is awesome as a main character now
Kurono doesnt act like Gutts in Berserk, this is a manga with a lot more center characters :noworry

[Yoburi]

lol Inaba and Suzuki :zaru
and i believe Sakata will be ironically revived
Kaze got his arms and leg ripped off? :iria

Katou is okay but the main hell no! Kurono is the plot do you belive Katou can keep this manga good after the Gantz game talking to his bro and beating some loser on his prison... err i mean school.

[mystictrunks]

How can people say Kurono isn't a necessary part of the story. You're either going to get him back, or have people constantly go "If only Kurono was here he'd know what to do"

[spaZ]

Kurono was the best part of the story now that hes gone I find it to be pretty boring.

[Yoburi]

How can people say Kurono isn't a necessary part of the story. You're either going to get him back, or have people constantly go "If only Kurono was here he'd know what to do"

Almost everbody that read Gantz knows how much this manga start to suck after Kurono leave the story and since when Kurono have to act like Guts from Berserk the cool thing about him is that he is just a normal guy like you or me but he have the balls to kill any alien that cross him and of course he can never be like Guts but damn who the fuck can and that doesnt mean he is weak at all.

[•Sharingan Squid•]

the manga was IMO at it's peak in the Buddha temple arc, when everyone got killed, except Kurono
now Kurono's dramatic death scene has already been and he won't return
frankly, the fact that Katou had a death scene too, but he got revived, makes him kind of... harder to accept as a character, though he still manages to kick ass and take names :del
but do you really want Kurono to be back? as Sakata said, it would be cheap, especially for him, who has been around for so long. With Katou it works only because he died quite early in the manga. Also, the fact, that Katou is still thinking about whether to revive Kurono or not, makes him more interesting than before
You're saying the manga sucks right now because Kurono isnt there, IMO the only thing actually disappointing right now, is that the rest of the Tokyo team refused to keep on fighting, and they are receiving justice right now :noworry

oh and about Nuri, does he really attack with his breath, or does he attack the same way he did before, with his stare? :huh

[mister_napolean]

Reviving Kuruno makes the story more interesting cause it switches to reviving him is what everyone wants or reviving him would be useless.

Kurono is a key part of the manga, it needs someone easily recognizable the only choices are Kurono and Katou as both have been around since the start. However Katou was dead and unnoticed for so long he doesn't really feel that role, and his refusal to be a prick(a key concept for survival) means he'll die sooner or later. His main goal is also reviving Kurono if Katou survives but never brings him back I'd like to see them explain that,

[•Sharingan Squid•]

There is a chance that Kurono will be back, yes, but all that comes down to whether he is still in Gantz' data banks or not. Since he died outside of a Gantz mission after choosing option #1, i doubt he still is :noworry

I think it's time for Katou to shine as well for this arc. am so looking foward to see Katou establish himself and a good gantzer as well, seeing that he has great courage as well. Kurono will come back soon enough...in a glorious return, which I personally think, Katou would do with his 100 pts to revive him back with.:)

There is a chance that Kurono will be back, yes, but all that comes down to whether he is still in Gantz' data banks or not. Since he died outside of a Gantz mission after choosing option #1, i doubt he still is :noworry

Kurono will still exist on Gantz's data banks, regardless of when he died.

It just won't be a version of Kurono with no knowledge of Gantz and ignorant of his relationship with Tae. If Kurono is res/d from Gantz's data banks, it would be the Kurono just before he chose to leave.

WoW i just love your post i hope you are right.

I was kinda surprised about the mecha. That thing must be insane.

confusing chapter.
where were those invisible bombs coming from?

confusing chapter.
where were those invisible bombs coming from?

What bombs ?


I believe the old man died from the monster, I'm guessing he has the same power as Hinaba-san and his student (forgot his name) [telekinesis].

You can see he was shaken and his arm was bent.

[KLoWn]

Epic mechasuit dude is epic

No man you are wrong the alien can Demolish a bridge after saying "Ku ku ku" his skill is far more strong than this telekinesis i belive have someting to do to his Breathing, i mean his first form was a big guy using his eyes to kill but he got defeat when he lost his body, then was the harem form but his mouth was defeated by sperm from the Osaka rapist dude:nuts and now is his nose the enemy maybe just a very strong punch in his face to break his nose will work thats why we got a gantz Mecha soldier.

[mystictrunks]

Wait a second. Didn't Kurono figure out the gist of what he did before he went back to normal anyway? Even if he was revived with the memory he had at the time of death he wouldn't be useless or clueless.

if it was not a bomb and purely telekinesis,then why were there noises of bomb-blast?

[mister_napolean]

i dont think kuruno died yet..but thats just me.wouldnt it be funny if katou got a hundred points and gantz says he isnt dead yet.

[genjo sanzo]

i dont think kuruno died yet..but thats just me.wouldnt it be funny if katou got a hundred points and gantz says he isnt dead yet.

dragonball lol

anyways, i seriously hope the mecha guy pwns it and ends the arc. This is becoming kinda...boring :sweatdrop

[Yoburi]

dragonball lol

anyways, i seriously hope the mecha guy pwns it and ends the arc. This is becoming kinda...boring :sweatdrop

True but after this gantz game in case Kurono don't come back we are going to see Katou ugly life outside gantz beating punks and taking to his brother now thats what i call boring.

[AbnormallyNormal]

hmm reika still is holding old man so he may survive if oka can slaughter the 100 pter fast enough. i am only hoping for blonde vamp, kaze, nishi, katou and oka to live through this arc. the rest are mere fodder

[mister_napolean]

i mean think about it, if kuruno would of died wouldnt gantz transfer him back instead of leaving him.

[AbnormallyNormal]

yeah i'm pretty sure if they revive kurono it will be the real kurono who died fighting the vampires

[mootz]

i do not think kurono is dead quite yet,

(just caught up to the manga :sag)

[Ciupy]

They STILL haven't brought Kurono back? :arg

"goes back to lurking till the day that Kurono is revived"

[AbnormallyNormal]

i love how many gantz fans there are now! this kicks ass i love gantz

NEXT CHAP WILL BE AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

269 Survival of the Fittest

Comment: It goes beyond the common sense of National Security

After the sudden appareance of the mecha by Ebisu's bridge, the special defense forces behold the giant.

Soldier: What the hell... is that... This is not a movie... where the hell did that thing come out from? What's going on here? ...

The appearance of the mecha causes excitement among the civilians

Civilians: WOW, that thing just popped out from nowhere... Amazing, wha- what's that thing... some sort of robot? Awesome, Gundam! Some kind of transformer?

Oka, above the mecha, scans the brain of the ushi oni (? sorta weird, aye? At ritual, someone said this was done using the new suit helmet, but I don't see the point of "scanning" the brain)

Seeing an opportunity, the Ushi Oni hits the left arm of the mecha, knocking him down.

Soldier: It has lost.... The Gundam has lost...

Ushi Oni continues attacking the fallen mecha.

Katou observes the battle from the water.

Kato: Oka...Oka...? Oka Hachiro?

From inside the mecha, a Gantz bike like jumps out and, attached to the bike, some sort of disc-like other vehicle.

While the Ushi Oni attacks, Oka uses the h-gun on its left shoulder, smashing it.

Oka attacks Ushi Oni with the disklike vehicle.

Kato: Lost? Oka has lost? Where's he? (uh... what? strange line)

Kato: The head! Up! Look!

Anzu: Ah!

Oka then jumps towards Ushi Oni's head.

Gan Gan Gan

Oka scans a portion of Ushi Oni's brain and continues attacking the head until it's fully destroyed.

On the river, lies the defeated Ushi Oni.

Running away from the Nurarihyon, the rest of the Tokyo team ends up at Ebisu's bridge

Reika: run! Ah...Ah...

Soldados: There it comes again! Evacuate everyone! Right now!

Tokyo team: !?

On the opposite side of the bridge, the team notices the mysterious suit.

Oka shows up.

Comment: The most powerful human. Oka Hachirou is his name.

Next chapter: Battle with Nurarihyon!? YJ 17, March 27

[Jicksy]

damn this this chapter is epic ^

just like all the rest of em :lmao

[•Sharingan Squid•]

If Gai was wearing a Gantz suit... :awesome

[Penance]

If Gai was wearing a Gantz suit... :awesome

Dynamic Entry! ... ... Oops-Dynamic Exit! :nuts


This chapter seems so...:cry...full of WIN!

[AbnormallyNormal]

damn oka rules, but that mecha suit seems kinda weak haha, if that one big alien who isnt even the 100 pointer was able to knock it down right away. good thing oka has like two super guns and an invincible suit, plus that weird disk floater

[DethStryque]

-_- anybody know when the next chapter is gonna come out...<_< and they need to hurry up and revive that main character lmao D:

[Jicksy]

^ end of march is next chap...

oka is just badass... how many times would it have taken oka just to get the new suit? i bet he's got a suped up sword in there too... :lmao

[Penance]

I guess Oka's been playing longer than Izumi (or killing tougher aliens)...

[AbnormallyNormal]

yeah oka > izumi definitely. we need to see what oka looks like though i cant handle this mystery

it would make more sense to have a suit that covers up your whole body instead of leaving your most vital head and face exposed lol. and yeah its interesting, this opens up a whole new realm of possible upgrades, like i guess maybe if you dont spend your 100 points, and just keep "playing" in the game, once you reach 200 or something maybe your super weapon is a super suit instead of the big gun? i am guessing thats how it works

[mister_napolean]

Or maybe you just spend 100 each time you get a hundred reather than get one good weapon get 2 =)
Oka probably has 5 other godlike weapons

[cha-uzu]

-_- anybody know when the next chapter is gonna come out...<_< and they need to hurry up and revive that main character lmao D:
He'll be back soon. I can't wait, myself!

NO FUCKING WAY! Kei will be back when protect or revive her no matter wat Reika did revived Tae ffs Kei

of course I am following Kei x Rei

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Gantz isnt such a happy-go-lucky manga like Naruto, people die there, tragedy, death, situations that make you cringe, because people failed achieve something (Hijiri is a great example here, and i want her back, but that's most likely not going to happen), this sort of drama mixed with blood and guts and 'splosions make Gantz amazing and awesome
this "Gantz reviving option" kind of changed the manga for me, i was glad to hear that Katou and Nishi would be back, but from then on, it got a bit dull, Sakata did bring some clarity into this by saying that constantly reviving people would cheapen their lives, and i believe Oku thinks the same way
Kurono coming back and Reika never dying would make this manga lame and centered only around one specific group, too much like the other manga.


just my two cents :nod

[Grandmaster Kane]

I want dakata back

holding back 100 pointer = wins


Also has anybody else noticed a insane amount of CIS in gantz?

[AbnormallyNormal]

what do you mean by the CIS? in terms of the aliens or the hunters? i kinda think thats to make it more realistic, like people will make accidents and not always pay full attention all the time, go through mood swings etc. but maybe not

also, reika will survive :yell didnt you see her pwn all those fodder in the oni arc???

hmm so he uses those tentacles to explode the monster's head and also to control the mecha. its weird he just threw that mecha and that floating disk away like it didnt matter. but he has apparently at least one big gun so he'll be fine vs the 100 pter i think. at least nishi is still conscious in the water, he looks pissed he lost an arm haha

just my two cents :nod

Yeah but the main was kill you can't have a plot when Kurono is dead i don't want this manga to became like Bleach where people fight but they got no reason to do this.

[Wuzzman]

I read the manga expecting Kurono to come back. No Kurono = no manga.

[AbnormallyNormal]

guys phase 2 means no more kurono, thats what phase 2 MEANS. get over it

katou is just as much the main char as kurono, they weer both in chapoter 1 remember

[spaZ]

Kurono is still 10x better than boring annoying Katou.

[Nash]

With Izumi and Kurono gone, there are not many is no one who can compete with Nishi's badassness :LOS

New chapter is awesome. He sure looks great when he's pissed :del

[AbnormallyNormal]

i dont get why nishi has to get pwned right after he acts cool. it reminds me of orochimaru in naruto manga. :(

[Grandmaster Kane]

Lots of CIS by the characters in gantz

If it was me i would do alot better up until mr.vishna final boss

then i would be screwed

[Nash]

I know :D: Hell, it took Kurono so fucking long to revive him. Then he came back and I don't even know how many damn chapters (not counting the vampire/Izumi assault, where we got a glimpse of him) I waited to see him pwn. For me it seems that the Osaka arc lasted over a year (I'm probably totally making the period
up :LOS). And in the first chapter where he makes his über comeback, he already gets pwned.

For Orochimaru it's the same. I guess a few Mangakas are having a little bet right now, who can actually destroy and screw their characters the most pathetic way :pek

[Penance]

Well, Nishi is clearly better at stealth. Once his element of surprise is over, he's sort of fodder...

[Nash]

:pek









Heh. You're right. But no one trumps Nishi when he's in stealth mode :laserbeam


I miss Izumi :argh

[cha-uzu]

I think they may have to revive izumi because the foes are getting tougher then ever. and they need his strength.

[•Sharingan Squid•]

guys phase 2 means no more kurono, thats what phase 2 MEANS. get over it


quoting for the motherfucking truth in this motherfucking thread :zaru

Izumi coming back would be interesting though :LOS still probably not gonna happen...

[Felix]

Is the chapter out yet?

[darksage78]

269 is out at One Manga. Pretty good, would be nice to see the robot in more action next chapter. http://www.onemanga.com/Gantz/269/01/

[AbnormallyNormal]

yeah i dont get it why did he just let that giant mecha suit and the floating disk go to waste? he would seem weaker without, and i think he lost the super gun he used too for some reason. but his suit with its tentacles and blades and HUGE arms might still be good vs the 100 ptr

[KLoWn]

Goddamn that suit looks badass, they should hand that shit out to everyone.

Gantz is the greatest manga in existence. That is all.

[Nomeru]

looks like this arc might be coming to an end. Well, the fighting at least. Probably at most 2 more chapters of fighting, then it'll be over (if it isnt now). I wonder if they'll be teleported back. They werent last time were they? heh..

[darksage78]

Goddamn that suit looks badass, they should hand that shit out to everyone.

Yeah that thing is pretty cool, I wonder what its limit is before it starts bleeding from those circle gizmos on it. Also any guesses to how many times Oka has cleared 100? lol

Edit: Woo 1000th post finally =P

[Felix]

Yeah that thing is pretty cool, I wonder what its limit is before it starts bleeding from those circle gizmos on it. Also any guesses to how many times Oka has cleared 100? lol

Edit: Woo 1000th post finally =P

I never understood why they start bleeding? Any reason at all?

[darksage78]

There's a limit to each suit via how much damage they take, the amount they push the suit's capabilities too. So if they muscle up and start throwing those crazy punches, the suit can only do so for a certain amount of time. When the suit starts to protect the wearer from the damage for an extended amount of time, it can only do so for a restricted time limit. After that limit is reached, it stops working and "bleeds" That's how I see it so far anyway.

After rereading the Illuminati HQ scanlation, man the gadgets are awesome. Loved the monocycle wheel and the new thing that floats in the sky is really cool too. Hope to see these things in use for future chapters.

[fxu]

yep good job, so I saw you dled Gantz 269 by Illuminati-Manga in IRC O_o

Yup.

I download other scans as well to see the quality and stuff XD

But I archive only the ones I work on :P

[Yoburi]

guys phase 2 means no more kurono, thats what phase 2 MEANS. get over it

katou is just as much the main char as kurono, they weer both in chapoter 1 remember

Yeah just like sasuke right?:notrust

[Nomeru]

guys phase 2 means no more kurono, thats what phase 2 MEANS. get over it

katou is just as much the main char as kurono, they weer both in chapoter 1 remember

That is NOT what phase 2 means. Phase 1 introduced the game to us, and how things generally work. Phasde 2 is called "catastrophy", we know how the game works ect from phase one, but now there are some problems, changes, whats going on kinda thing (which we have seen). Phase 2 doesnt mean shit for whether or not Kurono will come back.

That said, Katou sucks compared to Kurono. I know they can both be considered starting characters, but it was always shown from kurono's perspective (not all the time, but he got the most attention) (and if this is what you mean by phase 2 no kurono, I think your wrong. it will go back to his perspective once he's alive again).

The manga needs kurono, he was just great.

[Penance]

Agreed, and Gorilla Arms FTW!

[AbnormallyNormal]

oka has gotten 100 points 7 times it said that earlier when they were introducing the osaka members

there is a reason katou's face is at the bottom of each chapter instead of kurono... nuff said about that

also the sasuke alternative isnt katou, its nishi probably, or else it was izumi

[Lucifer]

hm I wonder why Oku got so many gadgets.. it seems so useless to me..then I was Oka I'd better save points for bonus life :LOS

unlocked Mecha or Disc Flyer = clear 5 or above times? idk that is so unfair

I believe that unlocked Bonus Life = clear 10 times :zaru

[AbnormallyNormal]

i hope they explain how he got that super suit and all the other gadgets that he apparently doesnt care about since he just lets them blow into skyscrapers

[mister_napolean]

i can't believe people are saying Kei is dead.
i mean i was wondering if kei would of died why didnt he just get transfered back to Gantz like Izumi did when he died.Cause i'm pretty sure Gantz recognized Kei as a good player to keep.

[Nash]

I always got the impression that Gantz grew tired of Kurono, hence he stayed dead. But it's been a while since I read the older chapters. Maybe I'm just making this up :LOS

[•Sharingan Squid•]

also, the new Gantz title page has Katou in the center, Kurono just happens to be nowhere :zaru

[Lucifer]

Idk Kei is dead or not...

I am pretty sure Kato is going to die in end of phase 2 -Catastrophe-

Older Takeshi becomes main character in new phase 3 -Apocalypse-

thts my thry :zaru

u know that Chapter Number = 4 digit

[Canute87]

I want back Kurono damn it.

[Mr. Stud Muffin]

I want back Kurono damn it.

that' the general consensus/feeling on pretty much all the major internet anime forums...

[spaZ]

he probably will come back soon.

[Mr. Stud Muffin]

I have to say...I like the vampires a lot...especially the blond haired guy that smokes the cigarettes...he is pretty dam cool...

I remember that two members of the Osaka team got OWNED by the sword-wielding ghoulish creatures...and he took on both of them and killed them pretty easily.

[Nomeru]

They do own.. they owned gantzers without the suits, give them a suit and they should be the best, besides oka.

I'm wondering where they've gone, they just disappeared. Guess they got tired of fighting and went to do something else.

Hai guys. I've started reading this since I'm on Spring Break, I'm on Chp 121, but could anyone explain to me what happens in Chp 118, "Sweetheart"?? It's the one where Kuroro talks about his girlfriend with Izumi, I don't really get the end, at all o_O

Ah, kay. This manga is so fucked up I thought he imagined her and then had some kind of mental breakdown xD Then I saw her on 121 and I was like "oh shit, better go ask"

Also, I don't see how Kato can be the main character when he died, but I guess i'll have to wait on that one.

now that i think back, maybe having Tae being fully imaginary would make the story better :zaru
Tae kind of changed the manga for me anyway... all that very serious and dark time up until her made the manga so much more awesome. But i guess Tae was the reason Kurono kept of fighting

[Sin]

*chp 186*

Kay, I see how Kato is gonna come back now :zaru

The mangaka sure knows how to draw women tho.

[Nash]

Gantz has one of the best fanservices. Too bad I'm a straight girl :(

[Sin]

The covers are a bit extreme in most cases, but in the actual manga, the women are drawn very pretty, even when they're not naked or servicing Kurono :zaru

[Nash]

Yeah, the art is generally excellent. I'm jealous. I have Rukia's drawing skills :D:

[AbnormallyNormal]

lol yeah its just too bad :hehee

They do own.. they owned gantzers without the suits, give them a suit and they should be the best, besides oka.

I'm wondering where they've gone, they just disappeared. Guess they got tired of fighting and went to do something else.

they all died is what happened to them, lol

izumi + kurono + nishi = they all died (except the two who are now on tokyo team)

[Sin]

Kay, caught up :awesome

Lol, Izumi. He was badass, too bad they killed him off.

I don't really miss Kurono that much, sure, Kato is alittle dull, but it's not all that bad IMO.

Oka = Win.

[Penance]

I want back Kurono damn it.

Bring his brother back first...:P

[Nomeru]

It is too bad about Izumi, I doubt anyone will bother bringing him back. He was an interesting character, but he was an asshole, and I don't think anyone in tokyo will bring him back. Bring his brother back first...:P

(for the record, I think you ment that as a joke but with the internet its hard to tell).
Since Akira is not known to gantz, he cant be brought back. I think that's better this way. Being able to revive someone really took something away from the series, so they do need to have a limit.


You know though, I remembered something just now I was thinking about. When kurono is revived, would he be back in the game again with his memories returned, or will he be as he was when he died? As much as I like him, if he's not in the missions, there isnt much use for him.

He could always grab onto one of his teammate when they teleport like the Vampires did.

[AbnormallyNormal]

when kurno died his memories had already returned but he would be revived as he was right before he left the game probably, that was the last data gantz has stored on him. but he wont be revived since its phase 2 and katou is the main character now

[Nash]

Same can be said about Nishi and look who's in the manga :wink
Tokyo Team needs strong players and I think they should have realized now, that it's not really about whom you like, but whom you need for the play. They'd be fools if they wouldn't revive him :sun
But it doesn't matter. I doubt anyone of them will get a 100 points in this arc :pek

[AbnormallyNormal]

well if its all about winning they need to revive the sniper guy from buddha arc. give that mfer a gantz suit and a super gun and holy shit, he'd be unstoppable. he was killing 90%+ of aliens and he even did good against that super hindu goddess for a long time WITHOUT EVEN A SUIT (and it was his very first time "playing" too)

btw lushie about your sig - do you really think thats what n ishi wants, to leave? he seems the kind to want the super weapon and stay playing, remember he blew up the cat when he wasnt in the game because he got addicted to killing

[Nash]

I didn't do the sig. I lack creativity :LOS

I made an 'Which Gantz character test' on some weird website and just copied the result smile-big

But I agree, Nishi became a psychotic mofo, no freedom for him :awesome

Just a moment...posted it on a german board, have to find the link smile-big

[Yoburi]

Why the team fail save Inaba the guy is a pice of shit and they got better people to save first.

[Nash]

You're welcome :)

[Lucifer]

Ha, I beat you in clear thinking, compassion, selfishness, and pride :laugh

uh noo... that is cheat xD

Your Score: "Host Samurai", VAMPYou scored 77 Clear thinking, 35 Compassion, 59 Selfishness, and 61 Pride!

You honestly don't give a shit about anything but yourself. If anyone messes with you, you're going to massacre them. (NOTE: "Host Samurai" is in the top right of this picture.)

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 55% on Clear thinking

You scored higher than 11% on Compassion

You scored higher than 66% on Selfishness

You scored higher than 66% on Pride

[Nash]

Host Samurai :wtf He's the only character I would have accepted as a result, next to Nishi that is :LOS

[Graham Aker]

Your Score: Shion Izumi
You scored 83 Clear thinking, 46 Compassion, 51 Selfishness, and 50 Pride!

You're a smart guy, but you're kind of a psychopath. You use your wits and strength only for yourself. You massacred over 20 innocent people because a little black ball told you it needed souls! Your motto: Fuck everybody.

Wow, I'm a big jerk. :lmao

[Chai Tea]

I got Reika. I like Reika a lot though :omg

You scored 63 Clear thinking, 67 Compassion, 37 Selfishness, and 23 Pride!

You're pretty intelligent, and a lot of your team members are willing to follow you into battle. You don't think about yourself as much as some people; instead, you worry about the group.


As for the whole Kato versus Kei issue. I love both characters very much tbh. I think Kei is one of the best heroes I've seen, he grew so much from the initial self-involved person. Kato has always been very noble, when he died in the buddha arc I felt quite sad.

I hope Kei isn't absent from the rest of the manga as well, but I like Kato and I think given some time he'll be developed as much as Kei was.

No one matters. Not team mates, not the aliens. You're going to kill anyone and anything that stands in the way of your freedom.



:awesome


I would have preferred Izumi or Host Samurai, but this works.

Edit: Changed two I was unsure about, and got Host Sumurai, and managed to increase selfishness to 99% above what everyone else got.

[Supa Swag]

Reika...I GOT REIKA?!!!!

[Nash]

Haha :laugh

----

I don't know why, but when I made the test, I scored 99% higher in every category compared to other people in my age group. I don't get it. I can't be that much of a jerk :zaru

[Grandmaster Kane]

over 99% selfishness
wtf

[Sin]

I'm starting to think something's wrong with the percentages thing.

[Nash]

Heh, yeah. Otherwise, it would be pretty sad for us :(

I apparently am the "host samurai" vampire :zaru

[Sin]

So this thread is full of selfish assholes :LOS

[Nash]

That's the only way to stay alive :LOS

[zaphood]

Ya think anyone on this thread would admit to being scored 'I am Kojima Tae' ?

not likely

[Nash]

Haha, lol, now I can imagine it. Some of us probably scored Tae and just try to deceive us :sun

[•Sharingan Squid•]

it's true, i am Tae :argh

[AbnormallyNormal]

that test was awesomely worded lol sometimes it was tough to choose because all the options sounded cool

[Hibari Kyoya]

omg i was on chap 130 2day now im on chap 240 :zaru this manga is immense!! nishi and katou are back and kei dieddddddddddd!

[Sin]

omg i was on chap 130 2day now im on chap 240 :zaru this manga is immense!! nishi and katou are back and kei dieddddddddddd!
I read it all in like 5 hours xD

It's a really easy read.

[Hibari Kyoya]

its amazing my all time #2 manga i think

[zaphood]

No.2 ? tisk tisk, for shame =p

I think it's Hiroya's ability to make one actually give a shit about a character in a short period of time, even when you know the character is most likely gona get ripped into little bits in the next chapter, that makes this manga so good.

That and the old ultra violence.

... was a bout to mention someone there, forgot your on chap 240. Go read up to 269 mate.

[Penance]

Turns out I'm Host Vampire...
