Gantz 339 Discussion/340 Prediction Thread

[Charlie]

I don't remember who said this ( maybe Gat?). Anyway someone pointed out that museum entrance had Tokyo on it. If I recall correctly, It was mentioned in another chapter discussion thread that, Oku might be doing that for the Japanese Audience. Sort of like an easter egg.

I hope my memory was correct.

[GAT-X252]

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.

If they have their own version of Gantz, then it should be a secret like the Gantz on earth is, controled by a few and probably following the same rules the Spheres on earth did before the Catastrophe.

But i doubt they have Gantz, i'm just theorizing.

What i'm trying to say with the vegetarian thing is that they even share that with us, i doubt it will be a mayor plot (is just an announcement) but there is a movement against killing humans.

The alliance is obviously a ruse but i didn't expect them to keep bringing people to the meat machine, the difference is that humans now go willingly...or maybe aliens wouldn't take the humans to the meat machine anymore? we can't tell because Sakurai killed them before they did anything.

Seriously though. I've read this chapter 3 times this morning. And right after I finished reading, my radio automatically turned on and this song came on: Where is the love? - The Black Eyed Peas.

Weird coincidence, right?

Anyways, the whole thing about "Cherry" getting his anger out, will ignite fear to aliens on the ship. I think "Cherry" is the most dangerous Gantzer out of all of those in the Tokyo team. But I doubt "Cherry" is the only human or Gantzer in the world that can use psychic powers.

Wasn't there a certain someone who called himself the image of God doing some similar psychic powers, but on a higher level? Pulling planes down and killing people to death just by squeezing/touching his face? forgot the chapter though. It involved some guy traveling to Germany who messaged Korono on the internet.

I wonder what's happening in Germany now. All those "Gantz toys" better be put to good use rather than left in some storage house.

It seems clear to me now that those factory-made Gantz spheres were distributed to groups like the ones that sent a tonne of Gantzers to attack the mothership.

When Kurono did a search for other teams they all had their spheres.

@GAT-X252: Seems likely that they WOULD go to the meat processing area. I mean the ships went straight there and the usual 'cleaners' or whatever were waiting for them.

I guess that while the main priority is stopping the Gantzers, these aliens are also concerned with eating the entire planet as quickly as possible.

We have no idea where the technology came from. If they DO have Gantz, they didn't make it themselves. Which is the same as Earth, right?

Lol imagine how big their mech suits would have to be. Especially if they had the giant aliens on the team.

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.

I read the chinese translation on this. It didn't mention anything about difference sexes. Omit that out and it make more sense to me.

[GAT-X252]

"The living beings of the original land have also sex differences..."

"They have mutual respect"

I think that's the most literal translation i can think of. I'm not sure yet if she was talking about humans or giants but she mentions "sex differences".

What did they wrote on the chinese translation?

Cherry's the most dangerous ambusher but it's been shown several times that one on one with someone good his powers aren't fast enough to kill them before they can shoot or cut him.

Anyway his dilemma made this chapter interesting and I can't believe some of you want to see him murder old people and kids and shocked that you think all the giants should be held responsible for the actions of the others. So they treat humans like animals? They just don't know better. Educate them then. I don't think it's his sensei talking to him because he was pro killing and was very brutal when it came to the concept of letting people die. I actually thought it was the memory of his girl tonko whatever because I recall she said something similar to him before anyway who knows.

Hey look!! Nishi's alive LOL!

He's way better at it now though. All he has to do is frown and they drop like flies.

The aliens have been indisciminately hunting down and killing humans. Cities have been destroyed, lives shattered. What right does the alien Grandma have to be kind and caring to cherry? Living a peaceful life and feeling sorry for the poor insignificant creature that happened to escape one of their meat factories. Does offering Cherry food make up for the hurt that he has suffered? Fuck them all, this is war.

So I guess Israel should just bomb the crap out of Germany for the atrocities that the Nazi's committed against their people back in world war 2?

Germany and Israel are at peace now. What happened, although terrible is in the past, I wouldn't condone starting another war.

Maybe your right warbandit66 my comment was a little extreme however that scene irked me. I know oku probably meant the scene to show the humanity of the aliens but to me it seemed the old lady treated cherry like a stray cat, unfortunate to see but I bet he would be quickly forgotten. Offering cherry food like that it’s almost condescending. I just don't think these aliens really care at all what they're doing to another "intelligent" civilization, after all they only see us as insignificant insects.

Besides Cherry looked like he had gone cold and lost all mercy, yet he suddenly shows compassion when confronted with "innocent" civilians. They’re aliens not humans no matter what similarities we have with them.

[Shenduk]

I hope someone fixes the "sex differences" thing, that it was a mistake. I'd hate a sexism discussion inside the manga.

I understand Sakurai, those aliens have taken Yonkotsu's life. She was one of the first few people to ever show love to him.

It's war, if gantzers stop to think "we should just kill the bad people who own3d us, the civilians are good people" it'll be a mess, they'll never know who to attack.

And it's not as if the aliens care, humanity is just a bunch of smart dogs to them.

Also:
"-They're really big, aren't they?
-I wonder if we'll be able to get along."

Bitches.

I sincerely hope you're just trying to be "Internet hard" and don't actually have those feelings but hey I guess that's the world we live in, one that believes one person should be held accountable for actions of other people just because they're similar races or ethnicity right? Sure she treated him like a stray cat because that's what she believes him to be that's what her world showed them. Instead of educating her lets kill her that makes tons of sense.

May I ask what group do you belong to that also share these beliefs; KKK, antisemitism? Sorry to over exaggerate your beliefs but I would look into those if I were you.

[SK-Hao]

I wonder why those soldiers laughed when tae told them she escaped a meat factory. Doesnt seem like the right response one should have.

What did they wrote on the chinese translation?

'原住民的生物也有差异"
It is about the same as your translation except the 'sex' word is not in there.
I saw the raw and recognize some Chinese character ''性差'' meaning sex differences.
Guess the chinese team miss that out.
