Nishi surprised the shit out of me when he came out of nowhere to kill the monster. I forgot the Tokyo team was even on the mission since we hadn't seen any of them for so long besides Katou. But too bad it still isn't dead.
Looks like Kaze and Old Man will have to beat ass like usual.
Damn, of all the manga out there, I never tought my idea of a "Super Monster made of women" could turn true into Gantz….
Anyways, I'll re-read some chapters because I don't even remember who was the guy who popped out from nowhere. :(
I need to start with the series again. Where I last read, it was a few chapters after they:
! Met the second GANTZ team.
Things have only gotten worse since then, which of course, makes the story much better.
@Really:

Nishi getting grabbed form the safety of his invisibility made laugh for some reason. The last page did show the 100 pointer going after the Tokyo Team, and I don't really see any of them beating it. Maybe that one guy(the one who's beaten the game seven times, forgot his name) will finally pop up. Last we saw(sort of) was him dealing with some insanely huge monster in his giant robot thing.
How many times had Nishi "beaten" the game?
and how many times had that guy that helped the newbie with glasses "beaten" it?
Hello!
How many times had Nishi "beaten" the game?
and how many times had that guy that helped the newbie with glasses "beaten" it?
-Nishi had never finished the "game", he was close to the 100 points during the mission with "birds", but he died.
-The junkie that helped the newbie with glasses, had beaten Gantz's hell 3 or 4 times; I can't remember precisely but I think that's it.
Didn't they say someone that was sneaking around had cleared the game 7-9 times or something? or who was that?
(I'm very crappy with remembering names, infact I can't tell you the name of anyone in Gantz)
Wait.. the mission with brids? was nishi in the same team we have been following most of the time or the new team they just met?
So just who is it they are waiting for that they think can kill the 100 pointer and get them out of the mess?
Gah, That monster in GAnts just wont freaking die >:(
I forget every ones names in that series, figuring they'll be dead soon any way.
I predict a Kurono will appear XD
1)Didn't they say someone that was sneaking around had cleared the game 7-9 times or something? or who was that?

2)Wait.. the mission with brids? was nishi in the same team we have been following most of the time or the new team they just met?
The guy with the mecha had cleared the "game" seven times. His name is Oka Hachiru, and is the one with the mecha.
At the beginning of the story, Nishi is already in the Tokyo Team. He dies in the second mission, with the birds, and in the volume 19, he "came-back to life" due to Kurono and his crew.
why are the vampires officially part of the team? did they die or did oku choose to not make sense and have them there for no reason?
@Radical:

Cause they were holding onto the Tokyo Team members when they were getting transported, so now they're kind of stuck until they get 100 points
@Deu$:

Yeah I'm pretty sure Nishi never beat the game. the only ones from Tokyo to actually get 100 points were Izumi, Kurono and the old man.
The junkie guy has only beaten it twice if I remember correctly. The sex addict and the black guy have beaten it three times, and that guy who was crushed by 72 pointer has beaten it four times.
Nishi was close to beating the game before he died near the beginning of the series. But yeah, he's never completed it.
this series is fucking crazy
i love it
Didn't the psychic dude and the idol chick have 100 points at one point?
I think muscle rider completed it too
(I really need to learn the names)
Yes you're right Radical Jack, must've slipped my mind. It's been a little while since I read the series from the beginning.
The psychic's name is Sakata and he used his 100 points to revive Sakurai, another psychic who helps improve his powers.
Reika, the idol chick you're referring to, has never gotten 100 points though. She was the one trying to take Kurono with her to Gantz when he was attacked by the vampires.
Kaze a.k.a "Muscle Rider" also got 100 points, he was the one who used them to revive Nishi in the first place.
So are they still fighting in Osaka or wherever the hell they were?
Been awhile since I read it, but noticed that this topic is alive again.

! Well, they were just going around since they felt that it wasnt their business (since the Osaka guys took hand of it) but just now they encounter a monster so a fight might be expected.
! So accoriding to Puma, nothing has happened since I stopped reading months ago. Yay?

! Yeah, alot has happened.
I just thought you meant the Tokyo team, besides Katou :P
@Kidany:

WRONG. She used hers to revive Kurono's girlfriend Tae (or however the names are)
That proud of yourself huh…
@Kidany:

apparently
i apologize for being a penis over the internet
@Kidany:

This is something ive been confused about… the guy killed by the 72 pointer, he was supposed to osaka's #1 guy? the guy they kept saying always stayed hidden until the end and then would bag the 100 point monster?
No that wasn't him, the one crushed by the 72 pointer is just seen as the leader by all the other guys.
Oka, the one who stays hidden, is riding around in the giant robot staying invisible. The sex addict was reffering to him when he told the black guy "let's just let him handle it" before the latter was killed. We haven't even seen Oka in person yet, they're two completely different people.
I'm really hoping that Oka turns out to be interesting. His character has a lot of potential to be anything, really, and I'd like to see that 'anything' be something non-shitty.
Maybe he'll turn out to be some six year old, like Takeshi.
I think it'd be cool if Oka was some elementary grade boy who just happens to kick ass at Gantz. I just wonder what his personality is like though, I mean if Oka's beaten it seven times there's got to be something up considering he could've left so many times.
I also think it'd be neat if he had something similar to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [Stephen Hawking], where he was basically immobile without being in his giant mech.
It'd give him a reason to keep on living, really.
WHERE THE FUCK DO I COME UP WITH THIS STUFF
That would actually make sense and be pretty interesting. Oka thinks he's better off at the game since he's able to do alot more there than in real life. That's kind of depressing though in a way, a child who can't move period save for his giant robot.
I just wonder if he'll deal with the 100 point monster though because it doesn't look like anyone else can handle it. The last thing we saw regarding him was that giant monster just before the drug addict tried to kill the 100 pointer right?
It'd just be a nice twist on this whole GANTZ IS MEAN AND A POO-POO FACE, since the GANTZ program would be doing this incapacitated kid a big favor by giving him something to live for.
Also he could you know… not want to forget something that happened while he was a Gantz participant. I think that's gonna be a big issue for all these folks. Not forgetting their friends and lessons learned.
Had always figured that the Gritty Ending [if that's the path the mangaka chooses] of GANTZ would have everybody going back to being little shit faces like they were in real life, not having learned a damn thing from the entire experience [since they forgot it all].
oohhh, thanks for clearing that up. i thought it would have been strange to kill such a hyped character so unceremoniously.
one thing about gantz, i have a lot of trouble with everyones names…
i hope we get to see this guy soon. i would be cool if he was a little kid. gantz is pretty much like a video game, and some kids have an unnatural talent for video games.
@Cyringohn:

i thought this too, then the main guy lost his memory but came out of it really quick.
And even when he didn't remember anything he wasn't as big a penis as he was before.
Definitely a penis, just not as much.

While the idea is interesting how would he have moved before getting his first kill? Would Gantz just have provided him with the uberass robot from the get go?
Also doesn't Gantz cure the diseases of anyone in the team when teleporting them? I seem to recall some really sick guy in the first team being happy that he was alive and could move normally. Then when he was trying to get home he got his head blown up when he went out of bounds.
Oka should be a pedophile that wears an eyepatch
@Radical:
Oka should be a pedophile that wears an eyepatch
no fair that's my role
So what's the difference between the anime and manga? I only watched the anime. Manga still ongoing?
i haven't really seen it
but I heard the anime was gay
I thought it was good for the parts of the manga that it covered. The filler ending sucked shit, though.
ive only seen the 1st 8 or so episodes of the anime but i thought it followed the manga really well. how far does the anime go?

so not only did Oka get a giant Mecha he got a better suit?
good god
The battle suit is probably my favorite piece of equipment in GANTZ, especially since you can wear it outside of missions.
I absolutely loved those chapters where Kei basically whipped the shit out of all the bullies in his neighborhood, as well as the chapter where Kaze DECAPITATES THAT DEMON IN OSAKA BY JUST PULLING HIS HEAD OFF HOLY FUCKING #$^%#^%@!@#$!
Holy shit, that's amazing. If this arc gets any more ludicrously over-the-top, my head's gonna 'splode.
looks like inabas dead oh well
Yeah I agree…this shit awesome
thanks deus
great shot of reika's gina on one of those pages
I hope the old man doesn't die. I like him

If we're talking about momets in gantz I have to say:
1:Izumi cutting the train
2.kurono fucking shit up using the flash light
3:Kurono shooting the bird while falling
4:kurono fighting the aliens while jumping from roof tops
5:takeshi beating that that monsters ass
6. Anytime Kaze fucks somebody up
7. Kurono and Izumi vs the lightning alien guy
8. When the Shorty Alien came to Kurono's school and killed everyone
