Gantz 339 Discussion/340 Prediction Thread

[102jayday]

Oh man, I thought Cherry was going to do the most badass thing yet....kill the granny and little girl.
Nice, it seems when cherry is in the chapter the plot moves forward cause now the gantzers are reading the news.

Scan is out guys, you can find it here

We're solving some issues about the reader, so please be patient until it can work properly.

Thanks!

@M-Hario - Holy Snaps! The release was sooo top notch. You and your group did great. The only problem was that some of the words should have been editted better and worded more naturally to suit the chapter, but it was well received and understandable when I read it...

@mote, thanks for the translation. you are awesome!

Sakurai's psychic powers seems to also have interactions with the deceased. Someone talking in his head telling him to not do it - not to kill them. Also, look at his determination, the way his face looks in the beginning. It appears like he's not playing games - He's there for some serious business. He's not gonna forgive them.

And that statement that Korono stated:

I think he is wrong. He's mainly just saying those words due to how indiscriminately the the alien giants are causing chaos to the world and humans. He is right in his own bases. But what the alien woman was trying to state was the idea of a male & female respecting each other in regards of status. So maybe females aren't supposed to be soldiers..?

And lastly Nishi's remark:

I wonder what makes him believe that they are idiots for doing what they are doing. I hope his obnoxious statements means something greater. I hope it means he knows something that makes the rescue of fellow human beings meaningless. And I hope this next special chapter about "Nishi" tells us something about what he knows sooo much about Gantz that he is so stubborn to tell anyone else.

And wow, Nishi didn't kill the kid. He allowed him to live. That muscle-rider kid knocked Nishi to the wall, and got away with it. This is totally unbelievable. Either Nishi doesn't give a damn, or that child is totally gonna regret what he did when he crosses Nishi in the future chapters. You can count on that.

OH NO, CHERRY IS FIGHTING AGAINST HIMSELF SUBCONSCIOUSLY!!!
hope he doesn't do "it".

So the peace agreement is not out of fear for the Gantzers, it's to fish out the remaining "food". They're only labeling them as terrorists so they're ignored and the rest of the humans just marches sheepishly to the meat factories.

Currently the Gantzers are the only things that can oppose them, this should be obvious by now.

The purpose of the peace agreement wasnt just so that the humans would march sheepishly into meat factories. They were already making the humans go into the meat factories with or without this new false agreement. The primary purpose of the peace agreement wasnt to make the humans march into their meat factories.

Read the chapter properly. They made the Gantzers out to be terrorists so that there own people would turn against them, which is EXACTLY what we saw this chapter.

I think maybe Cherry's teacher planted himself in Cherry's mind. Maybe. I want him to go on a massacre but at the right time he needs to join up with the rest of the team.

The world needs the reporter or Sebastian even more now, I'm just wondering when they will show up.

Great chapter, I really did believe that Cherry was going to kill everyone of them, his determination was just so powerful. I have to admit though, when he came to the elderly lady and her grandchild I was ready to hate him a little for killing them.

I might have screwed that line up actually, but it was too late to change it :P

It's probably be the opposite "We have sex differences on our planet too, but we respect each other."

But it still makes no sense to me. Who is Kurono not respecting? Natsu? I guess maybe she's scolding him for leaving the others behind, but I don't get where the sex thing comes in.

Thanks for the kind words though This chapter was just kinda rushed since I had to work last night and this morning.

[SaitoSpike]

k what???...that chapter was CLAKED THE F out!! lol im not even mad but that was jus odd....it felt like one page to me....but its nice to see Cherry tho im glad he's around!

with his power at high levels he could easily be one of the most important Gantzers

[gameboy234]

What a great chapter! Some plot development with a little action.
Oh no, no more young, innocent cherry boy..Hes gonna kill them all.

I wonder why the soldier seem to be laughing at tae escaping from the plant. Curious to find out about the group of survivor with tae.

I can't feel any sympathy for these aliens. Even the 'nice' ones are treating human beings like animals. It wouldn't matter to me who Cherry killed but at least he's not letting his rage completely take over. He's looking pretty exhausted now too. His story is really getting interesting.

As for his voices... I doubt he can speak to the dead. It's not even certain that he's talking to Tonkotsu. He mentioned her in this chapter but that was before the voices started. I think he was just reminiscing or whatever about her death, as he started to realize that not all of these aliens are responsible. THEN the voices started.

Even if he is talking to "Tonkotsu", it's sounds more like an auditory hallucination to me than him speaking to the dead. She's dead. Her brain has ceased to function. That's that.

@SK-Hao: Joining up with the rest of the group is a bad idea. Those idiots have no fucking clue what they're doing. They're going to walk into a shitstorm sooner or later and what have they got to show for it? They've dumped a bunch of naked humans on the ground in a dangerous environment with no food or shelter. Most of them are going to march straight back onto the ships.

This is the most pathetic rescue attempt I've ever seen.

It's probably be the opposite "We have sex differences on our planet too, but we respect each other."

Might it be talking about gender and respect for people as separate things? Or does it specifically mean respect for the opposite sex?

[Youth Explodes!]

Got to love the One Piece reference/bashing!!!!

Gantz' awesomeness is back, hurrah for Cherry!

I didn't get what the female giant was saying about gender differences, though.

Also, who are the human soldiers who save Tae? I read a post saying they had 4 eyes, is it true, or did I misread it?

[GAT-X252]

The Zone Sakurai is walking through is called "Yebisu Garden Place".

In the human world, the Gantz Sphere is inside a bulding in that place and i think the building we see at page 11 behind the portrait of Gonde is suposed to be that building in the "alien" world. I'm not saying there is going to be a Sphere there but i'm betting that's the building.

Also, there is advertising about becoming "Vegetarian"...it was expected.

In previous chapters there was a zone called "East Tokyo", that pretty much means the alien city is called "Tokyo" as a whole...what's up with Oku naming the city as a human one? is it a joke? i don't think so.

原地の生き物 (the beings/creatures of "homeworld?") にも (also) 性差があって (have sexual differences)...お互い尊重し合っている (and respect each other) のね (you know/don't they)

Make of that what you will

The problem: 原地 (genchi) isn't in the dictionary. I guess it means like "homeworld," but I thought it was weird that she'd refer to her own people as "生き物" (ikimono), since it means sort of like "creatures" (literally "living things"). So I thought maybe it's more like 現地の生き物 (also pronounced "genchi no ikimono") which would mean "native/local creatures" (i.e., Earthlings).

That's how I reversed the meaning in the trans. I'm pretty sure I was overthinking it, but it's still not making sense to me.

Your saying the giants copied Tokyo right down to gantz balls inside buildings, I highly doubt that they have gantz technology to replicate something like that.

But you have a good point. As to how or why they copied the city is unknown.

So the sign on page 11 says become a vegetarian?

Is that what the old woman giant is eating? I just dont understand it. I thought the giant/human alliance was a ruse, didn't they come to conquer?
maybe this is just a long term plan to get rid of gantzers and not eat humans just for a little while until they are gone.
