Title: 283 - Depressing Meeting

Text: In a world slipping into darkness, the light crafted by man's hand continues to shine, sing, and dance.

Kurono: Wow, #1 on the charts?
Reika can do anything.

Text: Her smile betrays nothing of the fierce battle.

Kurono: Haha...
She's damn cute...

Page 6:
Kurono: Huh?
Who's this?

Kikuchi?

Kikuchi...
Hrrmmm...
Doesn't ring a bell...

Hello, I am German.
Hello, I am German. I am OTAKU. I love ANIME MANGA. Please make my friend.

What a weirdo. You really a foreigner?

It wasn't CG?

(standard reply form)

Kikuchi: I am Japanese...
I am a freelance writer.

I'll be going to Germany soon to be an interpreter.

Kurono: All right.
Nishi.
It's time to answer some questions.

Page 10:
Nishi: The hell, man?

Page 11:
Reika: What IS tthe black ball?
Who's making us do this, and why?

Nishi: I don't know.

Reika: You don't...?

Nishi: What is the Earth?
Who put us here, and why?

Page 12:
Nishi: Look...a lot of people have been saying...
it's artificial.

Kurono: Gantz...
Is man-made?

Page 13:
Nishi: They say he's some kind of technology made by an advanced nation.

Sakurai: This...
this thing was made by PEOPLE?

Nishi: One guy saw a truck delivering one
to a private address in Brazil.

Reika: Brazil...
You don't think...
There are groups like us in every country?

Nishi: There was one in Osaka.
There must be tons of Gantz's all over the world.

Katou: Why...who would....
who would MAKE something like that...

Sakurai: What are the aliens?
Huh?
Are they...
human, too?!

Nishi: Yeah...
they just might be.

But to be honest,
I seriously doubt humans have managed
to actually create ALIENS.

Page 14:
Inaba: How...how do you
know all of this?

Nishi: It's called the "Internet."
People all over the world are sharing info with each other.
Although
it's not on a site any of you can get to.

Kurono: So when you said "nuclear war" the other day.
How...how does THAT fit in?

Page 15:
Nishi: It fits in by being an inevitable realith.
I'm actually pretty pumped.
The very idea of "power" will be eradicated in a week.

Page 16:
Reika: Where's the proof?
Show us that you're not making this up.

Nishi: The Katastrophe Counter.
The first team that discovered it came to that conclusion.

Old man: But...judging from the papers, it seems impossible that the world will just end in a week.

Nishi: No one said you have to believe me.
Go out and enjoy your last week.

Sakurai: But...nuclear war?
In just a week...

Kurono: The hell...

Karou: War...

Reika: Will it really happen...in just a week?

Page 17:
Kurono: There is no God.

Tae: Huh?

Kurono: There's still war...
out there, in the world.
Tae: Wha-

Kurono: Hundreds, thousands...
People are dying everywhere.

Tae: Yeah...

Kurono: Even where there are no wars...
People just die, every day.

They say life is a treasure...
The planet is special...
It's bullshit.
There IS no God.

Page 18:
Tae: What's wrong?

I don't understand...but if there's no God,
then it means humans, on their own,
have to treat life as something precious, and protect it themselves. Right?

Kurono: Humans...
on their own...
with their own power...

Page 19:
Kurono: Yeah...
Change the result...
Stand and fight to the end...

Tae: Is...is everything okay?
Kei-chan?

Kurono: Yeah... Everything's fine.
Tae: You're sire?

Text: The sadness of the world forces Kurono to shine even brighter.
