Thanks to Kurono Kei Chan from mcanime.

The target is the "Specimen Alien" he likes the "human body".

The alien knows about kurono, he says he wants to kill him cuz he would be a problem to his people(aliens). He needs human skin in order to disguise himself as a normal human and to kill Kurono from the very beggining.

He knows about the catastrophe and says that God is watching the world and Ooki's victory is nothing in front of him.

Akari dies and Ooki choose the first option.

....uwha?
I think that's one of the greatest things I've ever read ._.
Apparently aliens can see the future, Kurono is gonna kick more @ss and Ooki ditches that boyfriend reviving d-bag. All I can do is :).

Edit: *hopes/thinks Tae is an alien in disguise X3*

Does that mean seb is gonna go to japan and ask kurono for his autograph???
could be like that but too far from the truth, can't copy a movie lol. In japan kurono would be the one the japan aliens worry about. i think of how its like the matrix is when they get plugged into the game (gantz transfer them as copies)

good to see ooki give akari the finger, Hah you died and your bf gonna die again and you know what im gonna pick freedom!

tae yeh shes a alien because she shallows and gantz targeted her before remember she was 30 points lol thats alot.
maybe you can revive aliens too like nurai or the ones that get transfered.
Maybe Reika is an alien but why would she bring another kurono into the deck of cards

I bet if Tae is a alien and goes for the killing blow on kurono, Hiwaka will come in and kill her but kurono will still be pissed and those two fight lol. i want them to fight lol

What? So the aliens knew in advance that Kurono was gonna fuck them up, and FAILED to kill him before he entered Gantz? Disappointing for the aliens... I wonder why he needed to disguise himself as a human though, since he was able to just about wipe out Ooki's team on his own (assuming this is the ZERO mission).

Is Gantz Minus going to continue for a while, or was this it?

GAT-X252
September 18, 2009, 07:22 PM
It seems the "Specimen Alien" was the only one who knew...they don't have to be all connected to share information, the vampires for example didn't knew the Yokai and the Yokai didn't knew the vampires. and they are both Gantz enemies.

The alien plan is kinda silly, like you said he doesn't need all this trouble...but the main point of it is to show that Kurono is very important to the history and not just a good Gantz Hunter.

ZERO gave the impression that pretty much everyone had died. Obviously Izumi and Nishi didn't, but how many others survived?


I'm hoping that Kashihara Ooki becomes a part of Phase 3. I don't know much about his character, but I liked what I saw.

"Ooki had always been the type to stand out in a bad way. Call it a knack, call it what you will, but what others went through a fair amount of trouble to achieve, Ooki had a tendency to find shortcuts and achieve without putting in much effort at all.

Ooki's own skills were fairly limited. He didn't have the ability to outperform an ordinary person in general, and on those occasions when he couldn't think up a trick to accomplishing something, he was hopeless. At any rate, he was under more pressure than it might seem at a glance, but that's not how it seemed to those around him."

Did Ooki display those characteristics in later chapters?

I wonder why nishi never told kurono about what the alien said, maybe he was not around when the alien said it.

He was invisible at that time, probably he didn't hear it, but he was around.

Nishi, Izumi and Ooki are the only survivors, some time after he was already free he went like always to home after school, while walking in the train station he heard screams saying that someone was smashed by the train...then he says "Oh, it has begun".

The train accident was probably Kurono & Kato's death...

This was a great chapter! It gave me the chills. It's too bad we don't get to see what happens after Ooki is freed but before the train crash. I really wanted to see the first battle between Izumi and the vampires. It would be interesting if Nishi did hear the alien's comment about Kurono. That might explain why in the first mission he said he saw something in Kurono.

Damura
September 20, 2009, 07:02 PM
So Ooki was somehow able to break the restrictions on his memory, like Izumi, and has located and stalked Kei for months... Or he can see into the future or something.

Well that was NOT the ending I expected..
I thought for sure everyone but Nishi and Izumi died.

The part about the aliens prophesying Kurono seems a little far-fetched, but it is a decent plot-twist.

Overall, Gantz-Minus was a success, in my opinion.
I hope we see Ooki in the future.

September 21, 2009, 08:49 AM
The final mission was pretty much a slaughter. Was that the massacre mission that Izumi remembered, or are they separate?

No, the mission Izumi remembered was the "Jeans Alien" mision in Shinjuku.

By the way, there was only one single target in this mission.

I think it was mentioned that Ooki chose to have his memory erased and left Gantz. Later, he is near a train station or something and here's a train accident. Then he says "it begins" or something like that. So either he was able to restore his memory, like Izumi, and tracked down the Kei Kurono mentioned by the alien in his final mission, or he can see into the future or something and has seen what's going to happen.

now, that last mission sounds weird

BrazilianGantzer
September 21, 2009, 03:05 PM
That might explain why in the first mission he said he saw something in Kurono.

When did Nishi ever "see something in Kurono"? As far as I can tell Kurono always has been Alien Bait just like many other Gantzers. He could care less about Kurono. Unless of course you mean letting him have the points for the Onion Alien. But that, I imagine that it would be Nishi's version of a "here's your congratulation prize for surviving". If you mean explaining the basics of Gantz, remember he barely explained anything at all and also explained it to Katou and Kishimoto. So it's not like he saw something in Kurono IMO.

Damura
September 21, 2009, 04:52 PM
^
Nishi kept saying that he and Kei were a lot a like.

@GAT: What a 'Jean's Alien'? Did we ever get to see it, or was it stated somewhere outside of the manga? I don't remember it...

BrazilianGantzer
September 21, 2009, 05:14 PM
@Damura

I think that GAT is referring to the aliens seen briefly when Izumi wants to go back to the room. He is telling Kurono about what excites him the most (hunting and killing aliens). He says there is no bigger thrill. Then it shows a few Gantzers running around shooting big aliens, they are wearing baseball caps and jeans. They only appear in a double-page frame so their actual importance is, really, just speculation.

Damura
September 22, 2009, 01:43 AM
@BrazilianGantzer:

Oh really? I think I remember the double-page image, but I don't remember seeing the aliens. I thought it was just showing dead Gantzers. I'm going to go have another look.

EDIT: It's in Volume 11, Chapter 119 if anyone wanted to know.

Just had a look and my memory was completely off. There wasn't a single dead Gantzer in the image :(

Oh man, the more i read Gantz, the more i think its same as Matrix. And now we have a prophecy!

Chose first(blue) option(pill) and you will wake up at home
Chose second(red) option(pill) and you will get ub4h w34p0nz0r(show the truth)

The only wrong thing atm is that there are two Kuronos, made out of one =?

IMO having this Kurono prophecy is a bad thing, now we know that Kurono will probably "save the world" or end the aliens at least. Besides Gantz was always very "random" in which characters died and were treated like trash, therefore the "There is no God" and this prophecy practically stated that fate exists, and I was convinced that Gantz's theme was how humans can make their own destiny and survive.

September 25, 2009, 09:09 AM
this time it looks like if they are screwed if they lost a body part lol they are not in gantz anymore so they can't recover wounds, and once the suit breaks it won't go back to normal again.

well kikichi met with kurono once saying he is the leader of the black suit team, maybe that was destiny that he would bump into him then kikichi learns about gantz from seb who mentions the matrix.

i don't think Kurono is destined to save the whole world from the Katastrophe, c'mon there's got to be thousands of guys like him around the world , you know what i mean, regular-ordinary guys that suddendly die and go to Gantz room and then become a great "Gantz soldier" or leader...i personaly don't think that the fate of the world is in the hands of one single guy, i think that it's up to all humans and Gantz teams around the world maybe commanded by guys like Kurono.

Hope you're right man cuz It would be really shitty to see kurono saving the world. Actually it would be kind of gay for a manga like gantz.

That's poor logic. If it was like that then why would it be told from this person's perspective? Why not one of the many others? Why not someone who perhaps did something more significant? It's obvious that Kei is going to do something very significant, or at least be heavily involved. Now the real question is which Kei. Perhaps this prophecy is voided by the existence of a second Kei, but that's just speculation. I can't actually read it, so I'm guessing what it says. :/

Also, if it was someone else who ended it then who's to say we would get to see what truly ended it all in the first place? Kei would just be battling and then it would all be over, that would not be very satisfying. I don't see why you guys would have issues with Kei doing something incredibly significant. :/

To Sollum, UVERworld is a great band. :)

It could be that Kei won't be the savior, but someone else from the Tokyo team, but Kei will be "responsible" because he was the one that made sure that the Tokyo team would keep training. Who knows? Maybe Sakurai who wanted to do good and save people because he felt guilty would save the human kind? At this point I can pretty much say I can trust Oku for a good Gantz ending.

Also, I don't think future sight is related to fate [At least in this case]. The alien just saw it and understood Kei will have a great affect on the aliens and even the Katastrophe, dosen't mean it happens only because the alien said so, he just saw it

Also2 : When I think about it, isn't this chapter kind of a proof that te aliens arent created only for the missions? Otherwise, Why would he care about "his people"?

kaliayev

Eh? The character now exists as a paradox. That's automatic significance (go watch Back to the Future if you don't believe me). Upon encountering said paradox, this "god's" brain will explode.


Now the real question is which Kei.

As long as one of them dies, all other elements of the outcome won't matter to me (Katou, HS, Kikuchi, and Cherry could have a celebratory orgy for all I care).

@gat
Was this alien's plan to wait until Kurono showed up as a hunter, with the former as the target during a mission, or kill Kurono before the subway incident? I ask because it seems like the latter scenario wouldn't necessarily solve the problem.

Alien: Very well, very soon a human called Kei Kurono would appear in front of us. I'm going to pretend to be a friend , anticipate the other groups and kill him from the very beginning.

Ooki: Kei...Kurono?

Alien: That human is going to be only trouble to us, That's why i want human skin, this plan can't fail...what do you think?

"That human is going to be trouble for us" sounds kinda like "he's going to be a pain in the ass".

Nothing like "he will be the key to our total destruction", just some guy that, for instance, might be making the aliens waste more resources in hunting kurono and allies than in some other important battle against other humans' groups

This may be too much to ask for, but would you translate whatever dialogue occurs between the target and Ooki, the end of their fight/transport, Ooki's choice, and Ooki's monologue in the subway? I'm very uncomfortable with that last line.

I'll post my scenarios after Gat responds. Hopefully, they'll clarify, or further distort, matters.

Alien: The Catastrophe is near. God is watching this world. your victory before it has no meaning at all.

Ooki: Is ok Gantz, start with the scores / 100 points.../ Gantz...number one...get me out of here...

At the end Ooki just says "Oh, i see, it has begun" after he hears the screams at the train station.

kaliayev
October 04, 2009, 12:04 AM
Okay, first of all, I do not view this alien as a precog. I view him as a time traveler. Both scenarios are rather silly, but time travel fits in more smoothly, especially given the posts informing us that Oku likes Back to the Future. If he were a precog, his plans would have been more successful.

I speculate that this alien witnessed the defeat, spiritually or physically, of the destructive entity referred to by himself and Nura. As a devoted follower, with the unique opportunity to travel back in time, he decided to prevent whatever circumstances led to the defeat of this destructive entity. As far as we have been informed, prevention meant the destruction of one Kei Kurono. As a relatively well informed alien, he would have been aware of gantz, as a hunting organization, and Kurono's identity. However,the alien wouldn't have been aware of the circumstances surrounding the final missions of the Tokyo team.

Here was his plan-
I'm a super badass. I will reveal myself to gantz's sensors, as an anomaly, forcing the handler to target me, repeatedly if necessary, for missions. The first team that comes after me will be completely overwhelmed. Upon their defeat, I will take the skin of an individual on the team. With this skin, I will enter Kurono's school as a student, befriend him, and keep tabs on him. Since I know that gantz recruits individuals who die, I will not personally kill Kurono before the subway incident. Instead, I will do one of two things: 1) I will repeatedly force gantz to target me for missions. Each team that comes after me will be annihilated. Eventually, Kurono will show up on a team. During his time as an inexperienced hunter and because he will be confused by the prospect of targeting a friend, he will be incredibly vulnerable. I will take this opportunity to destroy him; or 2) While masquerading as his friend, I will kill Kurono outside of a mission. This may be a better plan as there will be fewer complications (i.e. less leeway for the healing effects of gantz's transfer sequence or interference from other hunters). After this, I will resume my status as a target and defeat whatever teams the Tokyo handler sends, further ensuring that Tokyo, which had been problematic in the events of the future, will present no complications to the destructive entity's plans.

Now, the real mystery revolves around Ooki's final words in Minus. From his recruitment to the final mission, we were given, as far as I know, no reason to believe that he was a precog. Yet, he knew that certain events were set in motion with the subway incident. I don't intend to share my speculations (I imagine some of you have been given enough hints. Additionally, I see only two possibilities), and thus ruin the possible surprise, but I do think Ooki existed as an essential condition for the final arc, and he may just show up for the final arc, though one of my personal speculations about who/what he is doesn't require that he make an appearance.

p.s. It is highly likely that the destructive entity's defeat centers on the existence of the anomaly. Ironically, this time travelling assassin probably would have been better off remaining hidden and targeting Reika instead of Kurono. After all, even if she were to make it into gantz after the assassin killed her, it would be highly unlikely that her time as a hunter would overlap with Kurono's. Whereas Kurono figured out the essential element to survival on his own, Reika was informed about the suits by Kurono. Had Reika entered gantz during Nishi's "solo" missions or any period of time in which the veterans were uncooperative, she would have died. Without Reika, there would be no anomaly. But then, that would have ruined the self-fulfilling time travel paradox.

Maybe Nishi did know about the prophecy, remember when kurono asked nishi who he was, he said I'm an alien, as a possible comedic reference to the prophecy.

Light novels as a whole receive little to no attention from translators unless they're something immensely popular, like Haruhi for example. A one-off like Gantz Minus isn't going to compare since it's not by Oku, and it's just a large undertaking due to the amount of text. When it comes out as a book it may, but right now I'm not surprised at all that Minus wasn't really worked on.

Isn't there software which can read the printed text, and covert it to someone you can copy and paste into Google translator?

Even if it didn't translate perfectly, it might be worth reading.

Or someone who could read Japanese, could go and make changes as necessary, most of it already done.

【-0008】Reversal of daily routine

0
In the past do not believe in an afterlife world.
No, in fact, even now still do not believe this is true.
Witnessed the death of all things, this sufficiently clear.
Once dead, it was all over. Biology into a shell, called the soul or self-consciousness things disappear without a trace.

Biology to survive, they must rely on the physical.
Now in front of you, the star is a blood-thirsty people. That guy side forward, side issue like metal hitting each other the kind of voice sparks. The guy slowly to her. If you do not do something about it, even if the tree (name) what he has not, it would certainly kill him.
Terrible. It was absolute darkness and nothingness, it brings the breath of death.
Even the love of the couple, once dead, will also be liberated from all that out. Terror, pain, worry what all feel the.

Kashihara tree (names), slumped over with a recovery over the stars who saw a eye. Desperate people usually light X-gun, now in his grasp, but the terrible weight. Tree finally regain consciousness, grip frame, raised his dark muzzle. He regretted never tried this stuff in the end did not have any effect, even try shooting himself, not before, but do so in the end have no meaning is not known.

Horrible sight of the star people! Which side of the sneer, aside from that, as long countless hands of the Buddha's body, like a baby out of hand. Surgical appliances, waving his hand.
Trees exposed lips touch of nearest approach to expression.
"Hey.. Sure enough, or not do."
Finally, the tree of hearts only a belief, not the slightest vision of terror or of death.
- Live.

X raised his gun straight tree, trained to rapidly target star who pulled the trigger.
Moment between the distance of the iron frame columns exploded intertwined.
But it, all have been nothing.
This is the tree is determined.
"I will not fall into your hands."
Even back alive from here, in fact, may be nothing but his own death is only a slight delay, but even so, choose a tree or alive, fighting to defeat people who sing and then go back alive.
Lonely battle begins.
<hr noshade size="1">
Tilt of the setting sun, the western sky dyed red. Various buildings on the street pulled a very long shadow. Trees while walking in a sparsely populated small road side can afford to think about things.

Today, there is another class, the students died. Like a suicide. Although it is suicide, but the causes of suicide are not well understood. That case, how to look right is suicide, but it seems, the note was simply a class of things but not found.

The trend right now, so simply chose to die. Somehow Recently, trees to detect the spread of such an atmosphere in school. Just this month, is already the second person was. Trees do not know, like people who committed suicide this year, a total of five.
Emotional reasons, because the matter of suicide itself, the tree was able to understand.
Just can not help thinking, why, every day, so many annoying things always do.
For example, on the final exam tomorrow. .

Although it is impossible to get things first class, but dropped after the ranking by the possibility always exists, and therefore safe enough to get the score, or the need to prepare.
Because in general know that the teacher's personality and hobbies, is not difficult to charge question, but grasp the scope of the problem with the content of relatively trouble. Results after 2 o'clock yesterday is going to bed.

Class when it comes to sleep and forced back a class was to die on the storm.
"Has not slept, I am afraid not hold"
Honestly, why can not it insisted so hard, even though he was thinking a tree, but normally in low-key easily spend the same time, also in the exam is not high not low - it is important - but just to achievements, is in any case can not come so hard.
No, how could really care about their performance good or bad, just do not want to be very interesting that is.

Originally, the tree is the type that is not noticeable. If anything essentials words: invest time and energy to do other things, trees are always exercise a shortcut, hoping not spend any effort is very simple to do.
Tree is limited to their own, can not do things other than ordinary ability, know-how for can not think of what things are completely powerless. At least, than the eyes of others to see, trees have always worked very hard, but the people around do not think so.
If too interesting, we will be attracted to bully others, will cause others to jealousy. In this case, low-key points or better.

From primary school until the time he first entered junior high school experience, the trees learned that, since he began at how much time and energy on their own performance in order to get just right.
Been there since junior high school playing football in giving up, as it will cause trouble.
Like football. Thinking of ways to avoid the opponent's defense is very interesting to play in their own way share of the sense of accomplishment is wonderful.
However, the result is that senior students are beginning to blame a tree, because the eyes of others, a tree is just like grab a successful opportunist. In fact, if there is no big trees, then simply do not have those goals. They ignored the fact that their chance can not be found. In other words, they ignore that, that is, if the trees in the field, then this could get more goals.

Trees aware of the dissatisfaction of senior students who work after the first, he changed his style of play to deal with, however, to change the habit of forming perennial easier said than done since.
Finally, the Ministry had to quit football. Zhan Zhuang player than to try to find slots for players to consume several times their strength. But how can it be, never thought about such things done Drainage will also work so hard.
"Ah ~ why the net is more troublesome thing"

"Ah ah ~" trees sensuously, then Tuozhuo Bei, accelerated the pace of home. If the pair now that they can see their appearance then will think this look really like a stinky uncle. Net is like this every day, some annoying things, then, might as well find a suitable place to jump Well, this idea Do you not once had.
Today, the guy, maybe that is to commit suicide for reasons such as a bar. Forget it, there are no such intention. Even if there is thought actually to implement it is another matter.
"Ah ~"

Some people are crying, crying is not normal voice, like what had happened. Trees raised his head, reflective look to the past along the direction of the sound, just above their eyes stopped.
Apartment balcony on the street, some kid hung in there, and another child, or someone leaned out to seize his arm to try to save him, but one person alone if he should do anything. Them, and looked around in six ... ... no, probably seven. Now running again up is probably too late.

"Who helped me the police, the child he was.."
Trees somehow look at a passing office worker who appeared to be hurried to dig the phone man, since children are hung just below the balcony to go out.
Children have been holding the edge of the balcony, ran out of strength, and slowly began sliding down. With a deep sound like the same teeth, what did not realize that the trees on the ground, and are falling into his children to accelerate the body coming together.
That moment, the tree to collect myself.
"Uh? Me, this is how the -"

The seven-story apartment how high, according to a layer of 3 m to estimate it would probably also 20 meters above the. The height from 20 meters the speed of falling objects, uh, probably 14 meters per second it?

The child's weight to 30 kg according to calculation, if it is a 14 meters per second - about 50 kmh over the speed of flying objects, then ... ...
Taking into account the drop from the first contacts with each other to reach a total of less than two seconds between the comparatively static time, and finally the role of the head of the force in the tree can reach common on television as the strength of car collision experiments.

Trees total body did not have the front of it so hard.
Down to the child's impact, than the trees are thought to be smaller. Missing his arm out to the children and do not break them. Bone is bent, but also its elastic deformation range. Children falling the most of the energy role of trees who, while he himself was bounced up, then fell to the ground.

Although it was only a child's body, but like being shot in the chest with a stick, like a tree not too late to respond, on an alarming rate back down his back. Then, the very life is bad, tree head was hit 30 kilometers an hour before the cement road fragments flying.
Smooth rotation with broken concrete, shattered trees of the skull into lethal weapons.
Never experienced the strong impact of vision slowly dimmed, and trees began to dimly aware of his sudden death encountered.

<hr noshade size="1">
Perhaps death is a very wonderful experience. Their own body, to feel the kind of fatal injuries. Nevertheless, the tree incredibly clearly maintained his sense of vision has dimmed just a moment became brighter. He woke up.
However, certain dead correct. Tree view last seen floating by the setting sun is red cloud in the sky. Probably, that is, from his apartment near the local bar.
What ah. Now, the trees have seen, is a room ceiling. Room lighting and wallpaper, which he had never seen before.

Tree to sit up around the room.
The room was so unpleasant a. Wallpaper is white, almost do not see any thing like furniture. Inside the room, full of people.
"Well, go again"
Up a tree while someone said something. However, the trees did not realize that is what he said.
"This ... ... ... ... uh here?!"

Although never thought of how the world after death, but it also is so unexpected instead. This is too weird - I mean, the most incredible thing is that even from the balcony to see the Tokyo Tower. Getting dark, but the top part of the Tokyo tower still remained a little red sunset.
"That is, the Tokyo Tower it?"
"Yes."
Answered the trees himself, who are a looking down at his side is his woman.
What a bad thing yet? That is, the first impression of her. Not only that, she looked at him, eyes only lukewarm.
"Uh, that ... that ..."
She looked away from the tree body, just a sigh, then said:
"Well, is of course"
"Well ... uh ... what?"
"Most will be very confused, this is a matter of course."
Trees can not understand what she meant, with puzzled expression arose.
"You know something? Here in the end is? Yeah I really dead. If I do not mind what is wrong with the words."

"Probably, the normal bar. Also know that they had died once."
After a brief answer, the woman caught in deeper and deeper into the chaos of the trees on the side of a look around around.
"Listen to me say a few words to it?"
Tone is very tough. It is mandatory that the tone is also not too little.
"I think most people here probably do not know what happened in the end it all shut up and listen to me."
"What ah?!"

Look like a young man staring at her office worker said:
"Now is not the time to do such a thing, why do I insist you can not hear!"
"In that case went to go die."
Its cool that a woman look like answered. And that man did not know quite what to say, just the other side of the face staring dumbfounded.
"To become so ... ... why? You change the subject this is it."
"Is not to change the subject did not matter. But, sure, if you do not listen to what I said then, on the dead. This is no doubt."
Chipped in a tree.
"Just now you said that I was dead once it? Died again, that is, I revived it?"
All eyes were attracted over trees, then they are asked with a look back to that woman. In view of this, we might have is with the same questions about it.
Suddenly, from the room side came a wretched laugh.
"Ming, you're such a good person does. Anyway, those guys, no matter how impossible to teach them back alive."

Trees along the direction of the sound, found a diameter of about one meter above the dark sphere. Strange objects.
Behind the ball, there are several men sitting there. All of them were wearing skin-tight diving suit like the same black dress. Speaker, if that is one of them.
"Mind your own business. Do not you have thought about get from your partner help you."
Insignificant man. The hair is not mixed with white points, a very long until the shoulder. Never loomed gray beard shaved off between the exposed one yellow teeth, full of gaps.
"Do not so serious friends. In order not to be implicated in, I have been very careful, but oh."
The woman inside called bright sneer a little, no attention to him, turned to trees.
"To answer your question, the answer is Yes. Other people are the same. This answer satisfied with it?"
Like her angry tone, he has finished, then looked at her against those cowardly people who say that.

"Ah, do not worry, I is the same. But this is not important. The most important thing is to obey the instructions here. Do not do it, really dead. Hard-won resurrection of ah."
"But, but, to how to do it ... ..."
High number of office workers wearing glasses, with a trembling voice. Ming Li's eyes suddenly become very severe, pointing to the black ball, said:
"Moment that things would play some music. After that, equip the weapons from that inside out, at least, we should also wear tights."
"Tights ... ...?"
Trees whispered to one side and remembered, while carefully looked at the beginning that a black gloss glowing sphere.

As is in line with earlier remarks as a kind of strange sounds are played intense music coming out from the black ball. After a while, with only acoustic guitar and human voice. That music is real hard rock style, but the incredible thing is that tree that seems to be where the song heard.

Certainly heard. Is not that after a very bold adaptation of "broadcasting gymnastics Song" you. How to listen to the lyrics are not Japanese, so this is not in accordance with the original lyrics to sing do not know.
At the same time, before the ball has been a pure black surface, emerging out of the light of the text. Is a mixture of pseudonyms and writing letters, using a like terrible handwritten font.

Black Ball
----------------------------
You have lost once in life.

Because the new life to how to use, depends to you to decide.

... ... Logic.
----------------------------

"... ... What is it, this is."
Tone tree with a laugh in this. Behind him, out in brief replied:
"Understand what mean by it"
"Somehow, no energy, ah"
Trees smile for a while to look back only to find out where straight face expression.
"Serious point of looking at, right at the battle of intelligence opponents, though, what is almost of no use."
Tree has come back to look at the black ball, black ball on the information changed, and now shows a picture and some text.
"... ... Saint Tokushima Star people?"

Displayed on the surface of the black sphere picture, how to look is the photograph of each bird brought the era of Japanese history will certainly be posted on the portrait. A little strange to see three-dimensional, but the photo shows this is not a portrait. The gowns, hand holding plate toward the figure and people have to think of that famous name.
"St. Tokushima Prince?"
Around a tree next to a bent knee, the fat man surprised his eyes said.
Moreover, the photo next to the stars indicate the person is a saint Tokushima.

Black Ball
----------------------------
Features:
Looked like Prince St. Tokushima
Note the hands of the board is very dangerous move

Favorite things:
Tokushima Prince St.

Mantra:
Do not call me prince stable Kobe!
Constitution of 17 released
Kiaaaaaa
----------------------------

"It looks like a joke. But I also laugh a little."
Ming Lane's voice was heavy, tree and watched her face and frowned.
Then, just has been nothing of the black ball appeared on the surface linear cracks. Suddenly, from the black ball left and right and rear pop-up some metal shelves, shelves, hanging a lot of guns and a thin suitcase.
Ming Li has said on the new arrivals.

"Pop up from behind a shelf, find the name written on his suitcase"
While that side of the body of her sweater off. Moment surprised people heart and revealed to the group of men is, and just wore the same black tights.
"No time. It contained within it is this, quickly put on."
"Really ... ... have to write the name of the above"
A look of bamboo is a nice head of middle-aged man, carrying a suitcase, carefully carved in the box to identify the handwriting on the surface.
"Jun tree in it?"
Middle-aged men to take up the box, where do the ugly false name inscribed with "tree-jun" message.
"Yes, I ... ..."

Ming looked terrible, her eyes seemed to say, go get over. Trees stood up, hands the suitcase from the other side take over.
Seems to be lighter than it really tight on the inside you, this fear is simply unfounded. Open the suitcase, only one was properly folded very small on the inside of the tights. The use of more strong points that should be made of materials, hand-rubbed, very thin, can not imagine such a thing to wear on the body what would work.
"Do not be joking!"

Painted with heavy makeup of women, the box aside. Frankly speaking, trees are not willing to put such a thing, but suddenly find out where from the eyes of half-amused eyes are issued by staring at him coldly, he hurriedly began Solutions tights on the button.
It was at this time.
Throw away the suitcase of a woman's body disappeared. Accurately,
At this time, her body disappeared in a little bit like being the same as what it off. Slowly, the head disappeared, then yes, shoulder, chest and abdomen, at the same time, arms were gone.
"What, what?!"
"Transmitted"
Because they do not understand them, the trees start looking around uneasily together. This, clearly showing a very uncomfortable in the face, and sighed.
"Now, to battle the. How to go on without thinking. In short, put on tights. Do not wear, then there is no guarantee that the things you come back alive"
"This, this?"
Trees to tights in his hand, looked down from the previous.

The first after the woman disappeared, the next one is just called out in the name of the wretched man. He is very calm, while also checking with the black ball from the arms that are on the way from the room disappeared.

【-0007】

The word Bridgestone is also a name.

Trees ran as fast as he could, doom of the escape. Ming, the San Tokushima Prince simply can not tolerate what he thinks very much.
The explosion scene is definitely not a show. Smoke generated by explosions, can clearly see people blown to pieces, fly around with their belongings and body fragments.
No, honestly, actually not very clear. Who wants to think about it this thing.
Too dangerous, if do not escape in time. .

In the panic to escape the crowd, ran a tree blind, looking for the export of shopping.
"Damn, get out!"
Came the cry from behind. The guy is a bit familiar chaos of the crowd while pushing the same direction towards the side with.
"Pinporopanpon" (the sound produced).

Trees feel like hearing a strange music, then stopped. Music ... ... what? Sure enough, as she said it? Was just thinking of this moment, the guy behind the tree cry from just called and according to the face.
"BoSyu" (a sound, of head bursting).

Like breaking a solid object was wet as unpleasant sound. Moment before the eyes of a red tree. A headless body in a circle in the middle of the crowd, and slowly fall.
Was suddenly scared half to death of blood spilled crowd, push against each other to escape in one direction.
Pinporopanpon (to be sound, music).
Trees of the head, the music continues ringing.
"Music?"
Gradually became sparse in the crowd, the trees carefully to just headshot the guy that was a step in the direction of the music volume significantly larger.
Tree Niu Guolian years, has always been the direction of a fierce back several steps. Back a few meters, he suddenly stopped and knelt down, not stop trembling body. Although I think it's shameful, but in any case could not stop. Legs also not on the strength, then slumped on the floor.

"Ah -! Someone help me, why is it so!"
Just the makeup woman, screaming with running over. Tree suddenly straightened up, yelled to her:
"And so on, and before that -"
However, for trees cry, the fundamental point that woman did not respond.
In front of her, standing just inside the next "send" go boy. No, although the same face, look closely will find that wearing completely different. The boy, dressed in fleece from head to toe.
"Ah ~"
Boy uttered a cry like a baby, have been up to the woman is saying face to face was punched. Boxing speed slow, from its action seems no power seems, however, Zhe Yiquan come into contact with the part from the chest up all breaks off and turned it into a mass of red smoke. Lost the upper part of the body under the force in Zhe Yiquan tossed red flesh fly high in the air, and then boom slamming falling to the ground.
Boy put it, like the eyes like the dot, and slowly turned to a tree.

"... ... Hey"
Empty-handed trees desperately drew back and boy was noted that in addition, there are other enemies on the side. That guy is wearing a ragged suit, with a strange new Bermuda shorts, it is apparent, it is clearly not just the San Tokushima Prince ah.

"Kiyaaaaaaaaaaa!"
San Tokushima Prince staring at a tree here, wildly waving a hand toward what board. Trees around the space is distorted.
Moment, like being into the Dryer in the same trees were waving and the body had been desperate attacks. He fiercely fell to the ground, bang into the back of the destroyed buildings around. But, anyway, his body still seems to remain intact.

"Ha, ha - Kazakhstan - Kazakhstan - ... ... That, that the gun ... ... guns do? Run where they are going! Abominable, in which ... uh ..."
tree wanted to escape, but because of intense pain, he could not bear the.
, "Do not call me prince stable Kobe!"
Prince once again assumed posture, with head towards a tree board position to another waved a little. Anyway, this time, it seems to be the thing to a direct hit. That can be done to create a strong swing towards the shock front panel direct hit, in the end what will happen, trees also can basically imagine.

"Kiyaaa ... ... ah"
Suddenly, boom bang, Prince head twisted to one side. Blink of the eye under the tree and saw a glowing black shiny long knives are the first from the left the site of the right ear. Wherever blade, gray and black color of blood flow out, while Prince Edward's body begins to twitch up.
"Hey!"
With this cry, the knife head start from the top down, it cut into two and a half. Then, black blood scattered.
Suddenly, the Prince's body to stop dithering, as written here, like, fell.

"Uh, what Yeah, still alive."
In that mocking laughter, the tree looked up. In that house with the Ming Lane has said that if the eyes of the wretched reptiles, like men, would like a large flashlight like a stick resting on his shoulder, standing there. Just run through the San Tokushima Prince knife head is inside the pop-up came from that.
"In the face of such low-level star who was scared into such a right."
Aliens ... ... so to say, that there are indeed as black ball who wrote what. Yes, indeed human right called St. Tokushima alien. So that can only be called aliens were the ah.
"... ... Low-level? This?"

Seeing St. Tokushima alien bodies, trees whisper to himself. Ugly men, head to the ground vomit spit, laugh with looking at trees.
"Kiyaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Is like the voice crying, looked up a tree quickly. Prince's Boy waving his fist, from the wretched man behind the siege over.
"Cut"
However, the insignificant man humming a song out of the way, and then turn around and knife to the body of the boy who started from the shoulder cut in half diagonally.
"Ah -"
Tell the black blood of the boy Although only half of the body but did not die clean, still pit-to tamper with.
Wretched man got into his violent eyes look from the waist out a large pistol, his head toward the boy who pulled the trigger. That the gun issue "Gyon" (a sound) The sound, not the slightest tension caused by the same time, issued from the Barrel to an ever larger in the cross.
"Well ... uh ... what?"
The boy who had nothing happened, just when the trees completely puzzled.
Bong, Bong, TWO muffled. Have been no changes in the boy's head, such as exploded from the inside, like, crushed.
"Well, Ishibashi (bridgestone AKA stonebridge)! Come here!"
This is called the stone bridge in front of the guy, toward the direction of the sound back to nod, then back to look at this tree, face up and smile.
"Saved it, kid."
stone bridge back to a tree, go back inside a shopping mall.
"But ... damn ..."
Tree stiff upper lip, suppressing pain, stood up and left towards the direction of the stone bridge to recover the past.
"Up to you what these people doing?! Hey!"
Stone bridge is being looked at the number of non-stop only to catch up St Tokushima Prince companion, frowning cried.
"This kind of thing even if it would be pointless"
A fat man eyebrows, braved the cold sweat, looking back a stone bridge.
Ishibashi companions, including his account as a total of seven individuals. Stone bridge stood beside a bearded brawny, not far there is another tall and thin man.
A little farther away from them the other side of the road, a thin-inch head man, wearing a pioneer of a middle-aged men and a baseball cap, dark circles of a shorter men.
Is surrounded them in the five holy Tokushima Prince assumed the defense posture, in addition to four young boys in the next. Stump surrounded by the human body in a pool of blood in the rolling grunt.
"Other people get in the way, the city has been down hill by the involvement of"
"The gang is too weak, and everyone on the lines of"
"But, but ... ..."
Eyebrows of the fat man, saw in the distance out in the sharp eye.
"Cut, Ming Li"
Ishibashi Tut cry, again took out X gun. While shooting his side ahead, eliminated a boy. Off to one side of the Prince angrily distorted face was rushed over.
"Do not call me prince stable Kobe!"
"Oh!?"
Ishibashi a very pleased look, he opened the left hand of the sword to the Prince directly pounced to punctured. Star who was pierced belly groaned, but at the same time, the laser bolt from the other side of the fly over. Satellite network in the ground were turned into light disappeared.
"Ming Li -! Bastard! This but my game!"
He Dengyuan his eyes, staring out in mercilessly. Out in hand to capture the Y-type gun, a look of calm, to avoid his sight.
"Hateful, s going on, prey must be clear where to seize all, ah!"
Ishibashi angrily shouted into his companions.
As was the cry stimulus to the same eyebrows repeatedly calling side rushed up.
"Damn it! Damn."
Star who was shot screams a cry, but it immediately has his mouth open and teeth showing yellow to the eyebrows fury.
"Stables Kobe Prince!"
By star man cling to the eyebrows shouting in pain
"He, his bite, bite me, he was biting me!" (... ...)
Ishibashi said while laughing while
"I do not feel compassion, how can you plant it in the hands of such trash!"
"Hiyaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Bu Hugh slamming, blood spill, eyebrows his back on the ground. Prince bitten his chest, his mouth still dripping blood, and suddenly Dengyuan eyes open mouth, the DPRK side over the beard man.
"Stables Kobe Prince!"
"Haha, go to hell"
Beard man throws his spear stuffed star's mouth, pulled the trigger.
"Stables Kobe ... ...!"
Instant, star people behind are shattered.
"Woo ah, blood, blood, killing me!"
Eyebrows men on the ground rolling over, his face was stained his bright red too. Ishibashi was very unhappy, he kicked open and then slam him.
"Ah!"
"Give me my breakfast, with saliva also work, be so embarrassed, put your head to hit fly."
"Ah? Pardon, stone bridge."

Pierced with a sword from the stone bridge behind the escape of stars who are good to kill it completely, and do not forget the contemptuous glances out in one.
"Ming Lane ... ... arrogant guy."
Bearded man, his eyes shining, looking at Ming Lane.
"That Girl child brought a horse might be surprisingly good, oh."
"It's something I've thought about, but you know?"
Ishibashi was looking at his beard with a dangerous man. Seen from the gap between the stone bridge there star people are rushed over. He never looking back, very easy to use left hand x-gun to look at it.
"Higyaaa!"
"That woman, a good many thought she dead, but had miraculously survived, the time to send it restored."
Bearded men fear to see the next in one.
"Well, anyway, one day sooner or later will be killed for. Like beaut, no matter it can not leave her."
"Kiyaaaaaaaaaaa! Ah -!"
Ishibashi licking tongue, stabbed a man rushed to the star, then hacked up next to the one holding the other stars who brand the DPRK.
"I came to kill you yo!"
Ishibashi them a volley, the last one you want to smash escape. While they laugh, while also continue to attack people on the ground crawling around in the wreckage of the star, until completely crushed them.
Trees found a concealed hiding place where staring at this scene.
"What ... what .... It is."
Those stars were really terrible but compared them to, Ishibashi they massacred a group of people happily sing the behavior of people is unbelievable. Laughing while killing - those with abnormal ability - and the feeling of life it is hard to understand.
"Oh, man found the lair of a star!"
Lanky man Dengda pair glazing eyes, interrupted the stone bridge of dialogue with the male beard.
"Look this probe, indicating the final assembly point of the"
That lanky man wearing on his arm, pointing a slender device, strange supernatural air to say.
That device has a display. Displayed on the screen with a pure white dots.
"Sure enough, this level of guys, do not know how much the kill. But to make up the numbers of nothing more."
Bearded men, while lit cigarette while on the side of a tree to hide, said:
"Hey, you, candid and do not do the extra things, but our game that!"
Tree reluctantly nodded.
"Hey, where ah, star's nest?"
Bridgestone had hardly faded, lanky man behind the hand to the tree that a bit oblique, followed by, all together ran from him in the past.
Slightly later time than they glanced through the clear in a tree. Obviously, because he has not done as she stated, she had some angry.
"Well ... uh ... that!"
In fact, that heart is not clearly, in this situation, it is simply impossible to find a safe place. If people really got into stars, shopping these buildings can not stop the star's attack.
After consideration, the decision tree with the next to go in with them. Since the hiding of no use, it would be better with the most fighting together better.
When running up the tree realized legs shook. He looked up and cried:
"Damn ... ... can not be vice counsel is!"
That fear is false, but compared to timid and do nothing to die here, better to face the reality and hard to live. Thought here, although the body still shaking, tree finally decided to follow in their next fight.

For Minus [-8], it is best to refer to cnet128's translation:
http://mangahelpers.com/t/cnet128/releases/14557

I would translate [07] this way:

[-0007]: A Great Man Howls - The Shoutoku Alien begins his counterattack. ==

Ooki ran as fas as he could. He could not worry about Akari or Prince Shoutoku for the moment. The explosion scene was definitely not a show. Through the smokes generated by explosions, one could clearly see people blown to pieces, thrown around with their belongings and body fragments. Well, honestly, it actually is not clearly seen. Who wants to think about this type of thing? The scene would become too dangerous, if one does not escape in time.

Among the paniced crowds, Ooki ran aimlessly, trying to find an exit from the shopping district.

"Damn, out of my way!"
A shout came from behind. A fellow that looked familiar is pushing through the paniced crowd, going the same way as Ooki.

"Pinporopanpon" (the sound produced).
Ooki thought he heard a strange music, and stopped. Music ... ... what? Was this what she meant? While Ooki was thinking about Akari's warning, he saw what happened to the fellow behind him.

"BoSyu" (a sound, of head bursting),
just like the sounds of an overripe water melon bursting.

A bloody scene developed right before his eyes. A headless body was turning in a circle in the middle of the crowd, and fell slowly. The sudden outburst of blood scared the crowds half to death, and they ran away in one direction, push against each other all the way.

"Pinporopanpon" (to be sound, music).
Inside Ooki's head, the music continued to ring.
"Music?"
As the crowd thinned gradually, Ooki carefully took one step toward the direction of the headless body, and the volume of the music became noticeably louder.

Ooki turned around, took several large steps toward when he came from. Then he suddenly stopped, knelt down, and trembled all over. Although Ooki felt quite shameful for his behavior, he could not stop in any case. His legs lost all strength, and he slumped on the floor.

"Ah -! Someone help me, why ???"
The girl with heavy makeup, ran toward him screaming. Ooki suddenly straightened up, yelling to her:
"Wait, before you reach -"
However, the girl did not responde to any of Ooki's yellings. In front of her, stood another child just like the one "sent" by Akari. No, although they had the same face, looking closely, one would find that their clother are completely different. The child, is dressed in sweaters.

"Ah ~"
Uttering a cry like a baby, the child who is standing face to face with the girl, threw an upper-cut at her. The punch was slow, and seemed weak, however, as it came into contact with her torso, her chest exploded and turned into a mass of red mist. The rest of the corpse flew high in the air, and fell to the ground with a thudding noise.

The child, turned his round eyes slowly toward Ooki.

"... ... Hey"
Empty-handed Ooki desperately took a step back and noticed another enemy besides the child. That guy is wearing a ragged suit, with a oddly new Bermuda shorts, it appears to be a different Prince Shoutoku from the one he just saw.

"Kiyaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Prince Shoutoku stared at Ooki, took a wild swing with his ladle. The space around Ooki became twisted. In an instant, Ooki felt like being inside a Dryer, his body moved violently and he felt the suffocating crush. He fell to the ground hard, and his back hit the building already damaged by the blast. But, strangly, his body still seems to remain intact.

"Ha, ha ... ... That, that gun ... ... Where did that gun go? Damn, where ..."
Ooki wanted to escape, but due to the intensive pain, he could not move at all.

"DON'T CALL ME UMAYADO(Prince Toliet)!"
Prince Shoutoku assumed his attack posture, ready to swung his ladle toward where Ooki's head was one more time. This time, Ooki could't dodge it any more. Ooki could imagine what kind of impact it would made, if that powerful attack wave made a direct hit.

"Kiyaaa ... ... ah"
Suddenly, with a thud, Prince Shoutoku's head fell to one side. Ooki blinked his eyes, and saw a dark shiny Katana is cutting from the left side of the head toward the right ear. Wherever the blade reaches, a darkish blood oozed out. At the same time, Prince Shoutoku's body began to dither.

"Hey!"
With this shout, the katana cut the body in two, from head on down. Then, the black blood scattered all over. Suddenly, the prince's body stoped dithering, and fell.

"Uh, what, you still alive?"
Hearing that mocking laughter, Ooki looked up. It was the dirty-looking man with the reptilian gaze who talked to Akari in that room. He was standing with a large flashlight like stick resting on his shoulder. The katana that slashed through the head of Prince Shoutoku sprang out of that stick.

"You were scared in the face of such a low-level alien?"
Aliens ... ... in truth, the black sphere did write something like that. Yes, indeed it wrote the Shoutoku alien. Well they can only be called aliens among all things.

"... ... Low-level? This?"
Seeing the corpse of the Shoutoku alien, Ooki whispered to himself. The dirty-looking men, stared straight at Ooki, spit on the ground, and smirked.

"Kiyaaaaaaaaaaa!"
It is like the voice of crying. Ooki looked up hurrily. The alien child was waving his fists, charging toward the dirty-looking man from behind.

"Cut"
But, the dirty-looking man dodged out of the way while humming a song, turned around and then slashed the body of the child diagonally from the shoulder with his katana.

"Ah -"
Black blood was coming from the mouth of the child. Although he had only half of the body, he did not die cleanly, and was still kicking around. The dirty-looking man gave a nasty look at the child, took out a large pistol from his waist, aimed at the head of the child and pulled the trigger. That the gun only made a slight "Gyon" (a sound) sound, not the slightest bit scary. At the same time, an enlarging cross shape comes out of the body of the gun.

"Well ... uh ... what?"
Nothing seemed to have happened to the child. Just as Ooki felt completely puzzled, Bong, Bong, TWO muffled sound was heard. The child's head that seems to have no changes at all turn into dust, as if exploded from the inside.

"Well, Ishibashi (bridgestone AKA stonebridge)! Come here!"
So, his name is Ishibashi. Ishibashi looked toward the direction where the sound came from, then turned back to look at Ooki, smirked.

"You are saved this time, kid."
With this, Ishibashi turned his back toward Ooki and went back inside the shopping distict.

"But ... damn ..."
Ooki bite his teeth, suppressing pain, stood up and walked toward the direction Ishibashi had left.

"What are you people doing?! Hey!"
Ishibashi was frowning on his companions, chasing several Shoutoku Aliens.

"Isn't it obvious?"
A fat man with thick eyebrows, dripping with cold sweat, looked back at Ishibashi.

Ishibashi's companions, including himself, are a total of seven individuals. Beside Ishibashi stood a bearded brawny, not far there is another lanky man. A little farther away from them on the other side of the road, stood a thin man with crew cut, a middle-aged man wearing a "Chiba Lotte Marines" baseball cap, and a shorter man with dark circles around his eyes holding a gun.

[T/N: Not sure about the exact team the baseball cap is referring to.]

The five Shoutoku aliens surrounded by them assumed a defensive posture, and four alien children are standing next to them. All around them, broken arms and legs were rolling around in a pool of blood.

"Other people get in the way, and cityhill got entangled and fell."

"The enemy is too weak, everyone charge in at once."
"But, but ... ..."
The fat man with eyebrows, saw the sharp gaze of Akari in the distance.
"Cut it out, Akari"
Ishibashi spit, took out his X-gun again. He walked ahead while shooting, eliminating an Alien child. Off to one side, one Shoutoku alien rushed toward him, anger distorting his face.

"DON'T CALL ME UMAYADO(Prince Toliet)!"
"Oh!?"
Ishibashi beamed with happiness. Sword blade pop out of the katana in his hand and skewered the charging Shoutoku alien.

With his belly skewered, the Shoutoku alien groaned, but at that instance, a laser bolt flew over from the other side. The alien was pinned to the ground by a net, turned into a beam of light and vanished.

"Akari -! Bastard! This is my prey!"
Eyes bulging, He shot an angry look toward Akari. Akari held the capturing Y-type gun in her hands, calmly looked past Ishibashi.

"Bastard, what are you waiting for! All the prey would be stolen by Akari, ah!"
Ishibashi shouted angrily toward his companions.

As if triggered by these words, the thick eyebrows charged in shooting, yelling, "Damn it! Go to hell."

The shot alien screamed, but it immediately opened its mouth, bearing its yellow teeth, flew itself toward thick eyebrows.

"UMAYADO(Prince Toliet)!"
The thick eyebrows fell into the deadly embrace of the alien, shouting in pain.

"He, he bite, bite me, he is biting me!" (... ...)

Ishibashi said while laughing, "I have no sympathy for you. How can you loss to trash such as this!"
"Hiyaaaaaaaaaaa!"
With a thud, thick eyebrow fell face up to the ground, blood spalshing all over. The Shoutoku alien who chewed through his chest, eyes bulging, blooding dripping from its mouth, suddently charged toward the beard man, opening its mouth wide.

""UMAYADO(Prince Toliet)!"
"Haha, go to hell"
The beard man stuffed his gun into the alien's mouth, pulled the trigger.
"UMAYA....!"
In an instant, the alien's head exploded.
"Woo ah, blood, blood, it hurts like hell!"
Thick eyebrows rolled on the ground over and over, his face stained red by his own blood. Ishibashi was very unhappy, he kicked him away and then stepped on him.
"Ah!"
"Clean it up, even with your saliva. If you are this embarrassed again, I will blew your head open."

"Ah? forgive me, Ishibashi."

Ishibashi pierced an escaping alien from behind with his sword, while throwing a contemptuous glances toward Akari.
"Akari, ... ... what arrogance."
The bearded man, his eyes shining, looking at Akari too.
"That Girl, might be a surprisingly good ride, oh."
"It's something I've thought about too, but you know?"
Ishibashi looked at the beard man with a dangerous look. From the edge of his sight, Ishibashi saw an alien charging from behind. Without turning his head, he casually shot the alien with the X-gun in his left hand.

"Higyaaa!"
"That woman, many times I thought she was dead for sure, but she had miraculously survived, and restored anew during the transfer."
The bearded man looked at Ishibashi fearfully.
"Well, anyway, one day sooner or later she will be done for. A beauty like that, we can't leave her to die."

"Kiyaaaaaaaaaaa! Ah -!"
Ishibashi licking his tongue, stabbed another charging alien, then hacked up another alien holding a ladle.
"I came to kill you all, yea!"
Ishibashi and his companions shot a volley together, destroying the last escaping alien. As they laughed, they continued to attack the alien bodies still moving on the ground, until they are completely crushed.

Ooki found a concealed hiding place, watching this whole scene.
"What ... what .... is this."
Those aliens were really terrible but compared to them, Ishibashi and the gang's joyful demeaner massacreing the whole group of aliens seemed more unbelievable. Laughing while killing - those with that abnormal ability - the feeling of life is so hard to understand.

"Oh, man, found the lair of aliens!"
The lanky man with blank eyes, interrupted the conversation between Ishibashi and the beard man.
"Look this probe, it is indicating the final assembly point"
That lanky man was pointing to a slender device on his arm, speaking with a strange tone.

That device had a display. The screen displayed a pure white dot.

"Sure enough, this level of enemy, we have finished who knows how many of them already. It is just another number, nothing more."
The bearded men, while lighting a cigarette, said to Ooki hiding on the side:
"Hey, you, don't make any strange moves! This is our prey!"
Ooki nodded weakly.
"Hey, where ah, is the alien's nest?"
As soon as Ishibashi finished, the lanky man pointed a way behind Ooki.
Then, all the people ran past Ooki.

A bit later, Akari ran past, and glanced at Ooki. Obviously, because he did
not do as she asked, she was somewhat angry.
"Well ... uh ... that!"
Well, in fact, it goes without saying that, in this situation, it is simply impossible to find a safe place. If he encountered an alien, the buildings in the shopping distict just can not block the alien's attack.

After some consideration, Ooki came to the decision of following Akari Since hiding is of no use, it would be better staying with these with the most fighting power.

As he ran, Ooki realized his legs were shook all this time. He looked up and cried:
"Damn ... ... I can not be a coward anymore!"
Having no fear is false, but compared to being timid, doing nothing and waiting to die, it is better to face the reality and fight hard to live on. With these Thought, despite the body still shaking all over, Ooki finally decided to join Akari in their next fight.

In the volume version of Gantz/Minus, the version that came out last year came in the young jump magazine.

Anyway, it seems there is a last mission against the jeans aliens where the vampires along the Host Samurai appear too. After it's over and are transfered back (before fighting the vampires) Izumi chooses to be free.

[Gantz Minus -007] Chapter 5
[T/N: translation of persons’ names, sound effects and curse words are uncertain. You can make up your own.]

They soon found the spot.
At the end of a street, there was an out-of-place apartment building painted in pure white. The name tag at the entrance of the building reads: Ru vyu roji.
This ultra-clean, ultra-white building stood out among the surrounding grayish non-descript buildings. Ishibashi's reptilian eyes lit up. He asked the lanky man next to him, "Are you sure about the spot?"
"Yup. It is beeping like mad. The Boss is right here." Ishibashi nodded toward the lanky man, watching Akari from afar full of lust.
"How many points do you think it is worth?"
"I don't know. I would be happy to be cautious, and just survive this."
"That is always the plan, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Ishibashi turn serious, and said "This Boss is our prey. You are using a mere capturing gun. You can't handle it no matter what you try. Just take care of the left-overs, and don't touch the boss."
"I will do as I wish." Akari answered in a cold voice.
"Let us go!"
The beard man inhaled deeply on his cigarette, ready to pull the door open. At this moment, the door burst open from the inside.
Ooki was frozen at the sight. Inside the room is full of Shoutoku Aliens. Packed like a can of sardines, you can't squeeze in one more Shoutoku Aliens in there. The Shoutoku Aliens are stuck there in all kinds of positions. Watching carefully, the windows are also jam packed.
"Today is our lucky day!" Ishibashi turned his head and grinned at the lanky man. The lanky man looked at the detector, and shrugged. “It seems the number increased again from the last time I checked.” Ishibashi whistled.
“Shit! Whatever.”
The thick eyebrow is breathing hard, holding his gun tightly. “This time we can get a lot of points clearing them out.” “The more of them there are, the more points we can score.” The beard man said laughingly.
Then, the Shoutoku Aliens turned their heads toward the Ishibashi gang. The window glass broke with a thud, and the Shoutoku Aliens crawled out like a swarm.
“Ha ha! Wonderful, just wonderful! Even if each is worth only one point, there are a hundred points right here.” Ishibashi started shooting with his gun. His companions joined in the slaughter at once.
“Ah, this is good! Kill, kill them all!”
The Shoutoku Aliens spread out from the apartment. Those that were alive started counterattacking with their ladles.
“Kyaaa!” One wave of attack hit the lanky man’s arm before he can dodge it.
“Oh, my arm…!” He stared at the void below his elbow.
“Oh, my arm! My arm is …”
“Look out behind you!” While hiding nearby, Ooki saw a Shoutoku Alien behind the lanky man and tried to shout. Obviously, the lanky man did not notice this. But sounds did not escape his throat.
“Ooohhh!” The lanky man was caught by the alien from behind and screamed. At this time, the alien opened his mouth wide, and spit out an alien child full of sticky liquid. The child immediately stood up, and hit squarely at the lanky man’s abdomen.
Even with the suit, after the first hit, the lanky man starts to vomit. After the second hit, reddish liquid start to come out. After third hit, he bend over and start to spit out blood.
“What, what are these things!” The thick eyebrow is shocked beyond comprehension. Holding back tears, he shot at the alien child.
“You! How dare you!” seeing the alien child killed, the Shoutoku alien threw the lanky man at the thick eyebrow, crying.
“Ahhhh!” Unable to avoid the hit, thick eyebrow, together with the lanky man’s body, flew in the air, and landed at Ooki’s feet.
“Ichi! Ryu! You bastard!” The beard man shot at the Shoutoku alien. Despite having only half a body left, the Shoutoku alien still managed to threw his ladle at the beard man. Looking incredulous, the beard man was hit. The ladle broke through the suit, and cut deeply through his shoulder.
“Ahhh!!!” A scream louder than anything Ooki had ever heard came out.
Like moth attracted by flame, all the Shoutoku aliens swarm toward the beard man. In the blink of an eye, his body is covered by aliens.
Then the scream stopped abruptly.
Splash. As Ooki hide nearby, he heard the sound of something wet falling near him. It looked like a suited arm. The broken part is on the other side, but Ooki can still make out some liquid oozing from the other end.
“woo, wooo..” crying, Ooki withdrew his hands from the arm.
“Go to hell!” The man with the crew cut shot at the aliens surrounding the beard man angrily. “Stop! It is too late!” “Let me be!”
“Do you dare to defy me?” Ishibashi said in a threating voice. Crew cut was stopped dead in his track. “But, but he is my best friend!”
“You can’t help him when this happens. Run now!” Ishibashi grabbed his neck and threw him over the roof nearby. As he jumped on top of the roof himself, he shouted “Shoot! Keep shooting! No matter what, don’t let them get close!”
Crew cut, the middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap and the short man with dark bags under his eyes, fired upon the aliens below from the rooftop.
While the Shoutoku aliens kept fighting back with their ladles, Ishibashi and the gang were able to dodge the attack over the rooftop. Soon, the number of aliens became smaller and smaller. Finally, not a single one of the alien was moving.

Despite the damages to some of the walls, the apartment building used by the aliens was miraculously still intact. Hoisting the gun to his shoulder, Ishibashi looked at the large holes on the wall.
“That is really unbelievable! A place like this can hide so many aliens!”
“Here he comes!” Crew cut took a look at the detector on his arm, yelled out as he looked up.
“It is the Boss, Ishibashi san”. “You can tell without me saying it.”
Ishibashi licked his lip, pointed his gun at the gaps on the wall.
Then they heard a deep throated growling noise. Soon, they saw a shadow coming out of the gaps on the wall. The noise was coming from this thing. It looked just like Prince Shoutoku on the picture. It was wearing a large robe, and shoes with the tips pointing upward toward the sky. But the sword on its waist was huge. It was also huge. If it straightens up, it will reach the roof of this two-story apartment building.
“What is hell is this?” The middle aged man wearing baseball hat looked up at the Prince, puzzled.
“Idiots! ricefield!Don’t just stand there watching!”
“Errr, is this different from those previous ones?”
Ricefield pulled the bill of the hat toward his back, raised his gun toward the Prince.
Suddenly, Prince Shoutoku opened his eyes wide, and looked down at the Middle aged man.
“The Seventeen-article Constitution!” [T/N: The Seventeen-article Constitution is said to be the greatest achievement of Prince Shoutoku.]
Just hearing this voice made people tremble. The ultra-low frequency sound wave coming out that huge body is shaking all the surrounding objects. At a distance of less than four yards, Ricefield tried to cover his ears with his hands, but it was too late.
“Ahhhhh.”
“My, my, go die!”
An explosion occurred where Ricefield used to stand.
“Idiots! Drop to the floor!” Ishibashi screamed toward his companions. At the sound of his command, the stunned companions all drooped to the floor at once.
Then the shockwave of the explosion hit. As the shock wave passed, dust permeated everywhere.
Crew cut stood up and whispered, “what… gone, all gone!”. In the direction facing Prince Shoutoku, everything was blown away, including buildings.
“Ricefield … is gone!”
“Using sound to attack? Damn. What do we do now? It is a monster!”
The huge Prince Shoutoku, looked slowly around, then lean forward, and vomited out a number of Shoutoku aliens.
“Ahhhh, Ahhhh!!!” The man with dark bag under his eyes screamed out loud. He was pushed down by the Shoutoku aliens, and disappeared amongst them. Countless ladles went up and down. The scream only lasted an instant. Then the only sound left echoing throughout was the sound of something hitting a wet object, freezing anyone who hears it.
As Ooki watched, he felt something coming out of his stomach, and tried to cover his mouth.
“No! Look out!” It is the sound of Akari. Ooki looked up, and came face to face with the huge Prince Shoutoku looking down.
“wooo!” Ooki raised his gun and pulled the trigger. He missed. Prince Shoutoku smirked, pulling out a huge ladle from its clothier.
Pong. Sounding like an old refrigerator compressor, a strange light started to appear at the tip of the huge ladle. There was nothing for Ooki to do but to turn tail and run. Suddenly, Ooki felt a heat wave behind him. When he turned around to look, the light from the tip of the ladle was burning up the place he used to hide.
“Light saber?”
Whatever is touched by that light is turned to smoke in an instant. That light comes toward Ooki, and Ooki was too terrified to move, only able to watch the light approaching.
All of a sudden, the deadly light turned away and missed Ooki. It was Ishibashi who hit Prince Shoutoku’s shoulder from behind. Ooki looked warily at Ishibashi.
“Such a useless one. If you don’t want to die, get away from here.” Ishibashi spit at the ground.
With tears coming out, Prince Shoutoku turned toward Ishibashi with hatred. Dark liquid coming out of its right shoulder, Prince Shoutoku spit out more Shoutoku aliens and children. In an instant, the aliens surrounded Ishibashi.
“Damn, were all those Shoutoku aliens before spit out by him?” Ishibashi smacked his lips, firing at the aliens and children. Even though he finished them easily, he was unable to hit the Huge Prince Shoutoku.
“ Missed … Damn, what a troublesome thing.”
A black blade extended from Ishibashi’s right hand. With minimal motion, he cut down the enemy in front. About half of the enemy was cut in half right down the middle. But the aliens made no move to back off. All of a sudden, the black blade flew in the air, spinning around, and fell to the ground. The alien children pin down Ishibashi’s body, opened their mouth wide, bearing their yellow teeth.
“He, he, how about this!” The alien in front of Ishibashi all of a sudden exploded. Ishibashi was hiding the X-gun on his body, and shooting at the aliens point blank.
“Go die!” Then, the head of the Huge Prince Shoutoku expanded, then exploded and flew away. The joy of victory flooded on Ishibashi’s face.
“Oh, oh, this … this …” Now Ishibashi realized his X-gun and his hand are missing from the wrist. He saw his hand far away, and felt his body torn apart, and finally showed fear on his face.
“Arrr, Arrrr, that, that? … that???!”In the end, the sounds turned into scream. But it did not last long.
Then, the aliens and children surrounding Ishibashi were pinned to the ground by a net one by one. It was Akari’s work.
She picked up Ishabashi’s sword, and skewered the last alien, kicked it to the ground, and pinned it using the a. Akari looked down to see Ishibashi. Without any expression, she turned her head away.
The only thing remained of Ishibashi was his head rolling on the ground, with fear still on the face. Ooki can only look on, unable to do anything. Suddenly, he saw something moving. He looked up, it was the Huge Prince Shoutoku without its head, facing Akari.
“Look, it is still alive!” Ooki aimed his gun at the alien. Perhaps due to the slow movement of the alien, this time he did not miss. Even though Ooki hit its back and leg, the alien was still moving.
“Roar, roar” A roaring sound was coming out of the alien’s stomach, and it raised its ladle ready to swing.
“It is close to death, and still attacking?” Akari said calmly. She picked up Ishibashi’s sword, and cut off the left leg hit by Ooki. The huge alien body lost its balance, and felt. At this moment, the tip of the ladle lit up again.
“Zooommmm!” The alien gave out a last roar. A huge chunk of building nearby was blown away. Akari took no mind of it, and slowly shot at the fallen alien giant. Shinning wires start to cover the huge body. But the strength of Prince Shoutoku was still incredible. Despite all those wires pinning on the ground, it still seemed able to stand up.
“It is over, give it up.” Akari attacked it again. After who knows how many nets were put down, the huge body finally stayed on the ground, exhausted.

Eventually, Prince Shoutoku was turned into light and sent away. After confirming this, Akari threw the sword on the ground.
“Stupid men…” She looked at the thing that used to be Ishibashi.
Ooki followed her sight, and hurriedly looked away at the sight of the thing rolling around.
This must be a nightmare. Yes, it must be. Ooki closed his eyes and prayed. Let me wake up. Let me wake up please. This is impossible. In the past, Ooki had many impossible nightmares as well. But then, as soon as Ooki wanted to go back to reality, he would wake up like a normal day.

But this time, praying is of no use. When Ooki opened his eyes again, in front of his eyes, was the same Akari full of sadness, standing there not moving an inch.
