Gantz 341 Discussion/342 Prediction Thread

[gameboy234]

Nishi and takeshi encountered zergling rush..
Cant believe takeshi was out so soon.
Page18 is Nishi diving out of the apartment?
Kurono and gang got teleport to a ruin, which i feel likely to be a hunting ground for the giant..

But they know already the teams want them death...i mean, who wants a bunch of greedy bastards to run their lifes? I don't think they ever thought they would be loyal, that's why they planted the bombs on their heads.

And if they hacked the tokyo ball they could transfer them by using the tokyo ball itself, and put the bombs in the same way.

Anyway, at the end the tokyo team was transfered, and if the tokyo ball was the only one that could do that, was this one of the "hackers" orders or the gantzman order?

Yeah True, I meant like they know all want them dead but kurono's team has been able to resist future transfer. But yeah the bombs planted in head but then again maybe they couldn't do that because tokyo gantz said he can only communicate and transfer. So it's like hacking a old shitty computer where you can only use some options.

I reckon some of the Main cast is gonna die within the next 2-3 chapters.

You'd think if the giants wanted the Gantz team dead they could just transfer them to outer space or something. Oh well. Maybe they wanna have some fun with them instead.

Chapter's full of win! w/ no KEI-CHAAAAAN!

Wow, fighting when stuck in a small room is so much more intense. The bodies were nearly stacked to the ceiling, I'm surprised Takashi didn't get crushed.

Was anybody else shocked to see Nishi punch something again? It had been so long I almost forgot he can also punch things with the strength of a car.

I'm going to vote that Nishi saved him. The shot of him with his arms together is super ambiguous looking. He also seemed a little bit concerned with Takashi for a few panels in the chapter. Maybe the dialog will show if he's actually concerned or I'm just projecting that on him because I'm concerned for the poor little boy.

Man though Nishi's face look ulgy in this chapter (which is good) he did good but yeah there was more than six aliens xD

I think Nishi-fangirl's would beg to differ. There isn't many main character's that are unattractive. Oku makes unimportant people ugly. Even old people usually look cute if there on the Gantz team. (It's sort of a topic of it's own)

Tae's not suppose to be in-universe attractive but she's more like hollywood homely, she's not the most glossed up character, but she's still cute. Nishi used to be kind of creepy looking but through art evolution he has become cute looking. Character's claim he's got creepy eyes but he just looks more Asian then other characters. (Which is kind of dumb considering they're all suppose to be Japanese but usually only background characters or Kurono's nerdy dead friends look Asian.)

I totally agree about the jumping Panel. I think that Nishi saved Takeshi and is holding him while falling down from the building. BUT, if Nishi's arms are invisible because he's covering his face (he jumped through glass), then it's gonna be a huge WIN. I love when writers surprise the readers. Takeshi being saved is highly expected so if he does the contrary, I'm gonna be really impressed.

[9tails23]

I'm guessing he saved takeshi what I'm wondering is do the suits still recover if not that kid is going to die soon anyway, and what does the author mean by small and weak in the captions nishi isn't weak not if he was able to take out that many creatures and also reach 100 and almost reach it before he died in this chapter nishi reminded me of why I like his character although him being pushed like this is different he usually calm and collected being around this group is starting to change him a little

Scan is out, enjoy the chapter.

Thanks to mote for his translation.

That looked more like a baneling bust to me.

With that said...great chapter. Top notch for sure. So good I had to register just to get in on the discussion. Nishi was a bamf and it look like he saved Takashi. I will really be surprised if he didn't. Makes me nerd rage that Gantz is bi-weekly -_-. Also it appears Gantz Man is dead. Am I the only one thinking that Gantz Man knew he was a goner and with his final seconds transferred the team to the slums because that is the location of the space compression factory? I can see the lower class giants working in the slums in factories making weapons and armor for their military much like humans and they also man the space compression tech. Idk it just does seem like the enemy transferred them to me. Either way though I think Oku is about to bump up the murder rate again and one Kei and Cherry as well as some of the new people are gonna bite the dust.

Look more like mothership warping in stalkers right in the middle of your base to me

Which in hindsight was a bad idea because now the Ghosts are prepping to wreck said mother ship. Call in the Thors to finish cleaning up and that's a wrap.

But seriously if the giants don't have a ace up their sleeve I can see this series wrapping up within the next 20ish chapters. Cherry is wreck stomping every giant he encounters and the majority of the Gantzers are deep in their base and nothing the giants have thrown at them has been effective. I do not envy anyone that encounters Kei and company at this point.

[Shenduk]

For a long time I didn't know the feeling of being nervous during a Gantz chapter.

I'm really glad for this one, it made me go inside the manga, I was there with Nishi and Takeshi thinking "oh, fuck!".

[York]

You know, I thought it was going to be Kei that would finally blow that apartment up in the end. lol

Intense chapter, interesting seeing Nishi fight something head on. Hope Takeshi made it, it's such a cliffhanger not showing Nishi's front. I'm really debating whether he saved him or went for grabbing something like his H-gun. If there's one thing he's done that really cements him past the moral event horizon, that'd be it.

I guess Gantz is stuck(or dead) either way. And like others said, Clonuro's (and possibly everyone else's) team may have lost the only advantage they had in this war.

[xenternameherex]

what does the author mean by small and weak in the captions nishi isn't weak not if he was able to take out that many creatures

Well physically speaking Nishi and Takeshi are probably the weakest Gantz fighters among the male cast. Takeshi's practically a toddler and Nishi's a fourteen year old boy who's pretty small for his age when compared to his classmates.

They both can't really match up to fully grown men when it comes to combat skills. Even in super powered suits, I'm sure the other guys are physically more powerful, assuming that gantz suit's amplify your natural strength to impossible levels.

Or it could be more about how they're both children who have to fight or die and be in extremely dangerous situations. I know Nishi's technically a teenager (and that internet forums are filled with 14 year old boys :P) but fourteen is still a sad age for someone to be so sure they can't relay on anyone at all. Most fourteen year old's are still mentally children.

Nishi and Takeshi are basically having the worst childhood ever. XD ... :'(

[firebo14]

Waiting for Gantz/Osaka 3 release... :]

Nishi and Takeshi got skills to survive. :]

[Forever Rain]

I was reading this chapter and when those creatures grabbed Takeshi and blew up, the first thing I thought was, "Ladies and Gentlemen Gantz is BACK!!!!!!!!!!" but then he was alive and I was like ooooooooh.... But then at the end chapter when tons of them blow up point blank range at Nishi and Takeshi's face I thought, Oooh he was just building suspense that lead up to their deaths! Then I saw Nishi jumping out of the window perfectly ok (after the explosion O_o..) and I finally just decided to accept the remaining cast have plot shields.
