Gantz 337 Discussion/338 Prediction Thread

[SaitoSpike]

that pissing session was the oddest thing...but damn so now they're gonna be looked at as the enemy....Gantz is turning out to have a deeper story other than jus unapologetic violence and sex (which i love, no complaints)

this is a nice twist i wonder where OKU's goin with this, its nice to see there's still manga out there that can be this unpredictable thanks for this chapter Oku! good stuff

if u say u saw this coming you're LYING!!!lol

Well that chapter was weird.Aliens making peace out of the blue?
That was totally fucked up.I can see that there will be idiots who will believe it and will go after the gantzers and they will be probably in large numbers otherwise it wouldnt matter at all but their reactions would be totally unreallistic.
If we were at war and i see my family and friends get literally slaughtered
by the enemy and a week later they decide there should be peace and we should go after their enemies who are butchering them as they butcherd us then i would say FUCK the peace.I would rather join the enemy of my enemy.Really the only way in my opinion that oku can correct this is if there will be 2 fractions.1 who dont know much about gantzers and believe the aliens BS and another that saw the gantzers and was saved by them.And come on oku.I wanna se some cherry action.
Imagine cherry going to gantz and asks him to transport him to a civilian mothership and cherry will immediately start slaughtering the aliens just like he did with those soldiers.Seriously its getting boring that all we see is gantzers saving humans and oku showing how fucking stupid and spineless humans are in gantz.I think its about time that the aliens got what they deserve.

WORST CHAPTER EVER.

1. Art is sh!t. Come on, twice the same buliding image. WTF?
2. Naked teen shouting "Kei-chan". Nuff said.
3. Peeing gantzers: too long and unnecessary.
4. Huge alien monster: meh.
5. Stupid "V" plot, coming from nowhere: the concepts of resistance, terrorism, collaboration with aliens has nothing to do in Gantz.

Epic fail.

Why the hell would humans be so happy to just accept this offer of peace and live with the aliens on their space carrier? Shouldn't they expect sizable reparations to help in the reconstruction effort.

The communal male urination made me laugh though, all those guys where up there like a shot as the ladies looked on in shock.

[Shenduk]

I have no words. That was a five stars chapter.

Starting with the manliness of piss standing. What a fag Hyouma was, not joining the men's sacred rite and playing the white knight!

Then the humans getting acess to the internet, I imagined it would occur. But the peace treaty? Totally unexpected.

Finally the best of the chapter: the government fooling everyone to think the good people are actually villains! Being the most dangerous people to the government agenda the hunters image gets stained on purpose.

It happens often in our own society: feminism being treated as women evolution, while masculinism is pictured as retrograde opression. Leftards hating white people who constructed the society most of us live in, while praising minorities for being the "only opressed".

Great chapter, Oku. My waiting for this week's chapter and Tae's lame plot armor last chapter were compensated.

Joining who? Gantz is a secret group and most of the population of Tokyo haven't seen them or doesn't know anything about them.

They probably don't know what the heck is going on outisde giant monster things are killing everybody in the streets.

As a civilian what can you do against the aliens? Most of the people there are completely lost and i can't blame them after all the butchering in the streets. Remember the civilians in Gantz don't know as much as we readers know about the situation.

All they know is the butchering has stopped, aliens have signed peace and a bunch of people are killing giants and that may piss them off again.

new to gantz here, can someone please say what's a Z-gun and what others are available and what do they do?

X-gun: Vaguely x-shaped pistol thing. Point and shoot >> Time-lag >> Explosion
X-rifle: Rifle form of the x-gun. No apparent differences between the two except it looks cooler.
Y-gun: Vaguely y-shaped handgun. Shoots rocket-propelled magic rope.
Sword: Sword
H-gun: (some people call it a Z gun. They're wrong, it's nothing like a Z. Or a H) some sort of gravity circle thingo. Flattens the hell out of stuff.
G-suit: Reward suit with the massive arms and elbow knives and all that. Has a gun or something embedded in the palms of it's hands.

H-gun: (some people call it a Z gun. They're wrong, it's nothing like a Z. Or a H) some sort of gravity circle thingo. Flattens the hell out of stuff.

But Z-gun is the official name (according to the 2ch at least) Damura, it has nothing to do with the form.

well, I can understand most people would fool themselves/not think too deeply on the peace simply because after surviving a damn slaughter, you'd love to believe everything is going to be ok and the worst has already happened.

but yeah, seen from our perspective, this is an obvious way the aliens have of trying to get people to turn on the gantzers because the aliens can't handle them or are receiving too muchdamage because of them. and I wonder if the politics know it and think they'll be spared or are also stupid enough to believe on a peace (I'm more inclined towards the first option)

[GAT-X252]

Part of the deal was probably to show the hunters in a bad way, the government is not in the position to say "no" to anything the giants say.

The thing is the killing in the streets have stopped thanks to this "peace", it probably won't last after the hunters are wiped out but for the moment is the best thing for all the civilians.

[ilkay01]

What i said was more of a methapor.
Honestly if aliens slaughtered your friends and family and a week later you see a tv show saying there is peace and showing people slaughtering the aliens would you think of them as terrorists or allies?Any normal person would see them as allies whose actions are justified.But you can guess that in the next few chapters a lot of humans will be fooled and think of them as terrorists.
And about what can a civillian do against them?Well not giving up would be a good start.And not selling out the gantzers would be a good follow up
because im pretty sure thats whats going to be in the next few chapters.
Humans helping aliens against the gantzers.Totally unreallistic.Normal human reaction would be: WTF PEACE? These fuckin aliens killed my family and friends and now i should just let that go and help the fuckin aliens defeat a group that is killing THEM?

[GAT-X252]

Rage here is replaced by absolute fear. Hiroya portrays humanity as dumb and egoistical, they will turn on the hunters because they fear the giants.

Some of them of course will stay cautious and others will probably do something dumb and end up dead, and no one will do anything about it because they are too scared and will do anything to stay alive.

lol @ the Xbox comment on one of the scans. I guess the Japanese really do hate the Xbox.

I wonder where this puts the business men who have control of the Gantzers. I thought they would be aligned with the politicians. I also love the idea of the possibility of some aliens that are already on Earth teaming up with the Gantzers and possibly vampires. Humans must be retarded to believe the aliens. I mean so many humans were saved by the Gantzers, there is enough proof that they are not terrorists.

I really wonder what Cherry is doing now that its daytime. I am also surprised that there was no Kei1 in this chapter.

[9tails23]

I can't believe this happened those aliens are smart though using the dumb humans to help them eliminate their only hope for freedom the only ones that have proven themselves able to stand against the aliens, they'll turn on the gantzers that's for sure just to grasp some sort of life for themselves, in the end it will most likely be as slaves to the aliens if they would think about how the aliens attacked and treated them when they first arrived but we know they are too stupid for that anyway, hey what the heck is what with kato and kei on the last page why are they so small compared to the blond woman

Heh. Yeah, love the trolling. The line is kuso-hako utte kuru! (I'm going to sell my shit box!). I couldn't figure out what the hell that meant, so I googled it and found a post on a Japanese gaming blog that was laughing at that part of the chapter. Apparently "shit box" is the Japanese nickname for the Xbox
