I was hoping for a one-on-one till the end :( but of course Oku has to make use of the remaining characters. How can Kei be the proper hero if he got all these helps? The Alien lost the war already so this gang-rape right now is unfair

The ending information might be the real end of this manga

Oh no, not random blond guy! Anyone but him!

But seriously, did that character have a name? Are we supposed to know him? Granted, at this point the only characters I can recognize are Kurono, Katou and Tae but I think we didn't get a name for at least 99% of the new characters that appeared in this arc.

That's right, it's unfair.
Gantz has always been merciless and unfair, so ending it like this without a shard of justice is the perfect way to scream "Go to hell honor, surviving is more important than being heroes and sh*t". On of the most coherent development I've seen in an ending.

So Gantz is ending in two more chapters...

Deciding on the score of this manga is going to be a huge dilemma. This show used to be one of my favorites before this last alien invasion arc, which bored me half to death.

Now that I think about it...what if the "end" is refering to that threat the alien did before, about crashing the space ship on the earth...that would be one hell of an ending

Everyone dies, time skip, everyone has been reborn and fin, that would be a troll ending but I can see Oku doing it.

I guess my timing on deciding to finally read all Gantz to catch up was perfect if it really ends in 2 chapters :/ ...
And I couldn't wait for everyone to jump in and help in the fight since everything's unfair they might as well kill him faster. Tho I wished no one would have died, but ah this manga.

I've read a spoiler about this ending months before this chapter got released. Maybe even 1-2 years before that.

But the guy who wrote the spoiler also mentioned Sebastian entering some weird gantz ball room or something and seriously we really need an explanation for Sebastian's powers.

I've been hoping for a long time that Gantz would get the ending it deserves but more so I knew that it wouldn't. This has been an abomination of an ending. Its been hard watching Gantz die such a pitiful death but I guess I just have to move on. What the hell happened Oku?

Well so next it will be Kei and Katou finishing off that giant which is a nice end.
After that the invasions over the aliens are gone, No more suits or Gantz.
Hopefully Kei and get some worldwide recognition has the human savior.
My only concern is I hope they bring up Sebastian again, I've already excepted that he is some kind of god.
I just want it confirmed.

Oh well at least it'll be better than Cage of eden.

I can see why Kaze and Mary was transferred first, if they teamed up they would have roflstomped that Sepiroth alien, lol.

I'm hoping that by "The End", Oku means the end of this arc, then he can move onto the last wrap-up with a few extra chapters. Because there's no way in hell, knowing how he likes to release these 20 page double-panel fillers, he can tie up all the loose ends in 2 chapters. Unless they're, like, 60 pages each. -.-

-Is Nishi still alive? It showed him getting attacked, but never actually dieing(didn't show Sakata dieing either, but still...)
-What about the vampires? They just up and vanished for no apparent reason. Shouldn't they have been transported with the other Gantzers when the businessmen hacked the Gantz system, since they got bombs/chips implanted in their heads as well?
-Sebastian, for obvious reasons.
-Also, that reporter needs to die. He gives Kurono's identity away to the vampires, gets him killed, then acts like they're best friends.

2 chapters -.-

Yup.

And now that this manga is finally ending, I can see either a contrived ending or a retarded troll ending....either way, it doesn't look good.

And it sucks, because at one point this was one of my top 10 manga, but it's become so damn bad.

I think your argument is perfect! Gantz is all about how unfair life can be and that you gotta do the best of it.

Anyway... 2 chapters? It´ll leave a lot of questions, for sure...

No way in hell it'll end in such a rewarding way. I see Katou or Kei dying before even getting anyone to clap both hands together. There's no damn need to bring up Sebastian again, he was from the civilization that provided Earth with the technology to fight. I mean, look --> http://www.mangareader.net/gantz/370/2 Just flip over to the next page.

2 chapters -.-


-Who the hell cares about Nishi anymore? He's prolly dead, and I don't specially care, I mean, he calling his 'mama' all over the place destroyed his character.
-The vampires saw Gantzers as their hunters, but that never really made sense, did it? After all, we never saw anyone from Tokyo's brand chop some vampire up before they appeared by the end of the T-Rex arc. I guess that's why they were nowhere to be seen after being involved in Osaka's arc. And in what reffers to the summoning by the businessmen, didn't they just summon randomly? There was no must for the vampire couple to appear again.
-I've already talked about Sebastian.
-And...man, that's just Kurono's karma. I've got to recognize I wouldn't have enjoyed this as much as I have if Kurono hadn't died that one single time.

But there's one thing that pisses me off: Kei's brother being a vampire did have no damned impact at all.

2 more chapters? Is that some kind of joke? Please tell me it's a joke. I mean, I typically avoid commenting because I think Gantz sucks and I basically read it just to laugh at how much worse it can get... but, low as my opinion of it is, even I didn't expect the ending to be this abrupt (especially considering how much the mangaka drags out everything else). That's just bound to be abysmally bad. I see no possible way to have a respectable ending or tie up any of the glaring loose ends in 2 chapters. I hope I'm wrong. I hope the chapter count is wrong.

I'm happy this is ending but I have no idea how Oku will wrap this up in only 2 more chapters.

So many unanswered questions:
Who are the vampires? Where do they come from? Why did they say they were allied with the aliens?
Why did Gantz decide that Tae needed to be a target?

I'm sure the ending will be completely unsatisfying and that these questions will never be answered.

There are a lot of things unanswered, I remember reading that his brother was a vampire and I was like "Shit!", "Maybe they'll fight?" but nothing happens and that was disappointing.

Nishi was my favorite character, but the way he cries ruins the character. He was a total badass and it was disappointing the way he went.. the last arc is pretty boring and I'm not sure how it's going to end well.

I really wish that the author would answer all of these question, why do the vampires hunt the Gantz team? How excactly did Sakata get his psychic powers? And so many other questions, I wish he would answer :(

Well, as a series it sure sucks. But as a whole, though it has still quite some flaws, is still better than as a series.

It really was disappointing, no doubt about it...

And maybe Oku thought to himself 'Well, wtf, I've already got humans fighting aliens, it's not like I can't introduce some urban legend like people brought out of 'The men who stared at goats''.
