| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Not even once did Tae say "Kei-chan" in this final chapter of Gantz. At least the author did something right amidst all the bullshit in this clusterfuck of a final arc. |

| This ending makes the anime ending look good... |
 That's it? Felt a tad underwhelming.Mankind is saved, as expected, since those know-it-all aliens said that Reika will be reborn on Earth. |
 |
| Just read the RAW, won't be going back to reread it once the translated version is out. Rushed doesn't even begin to describe this train wreck of a conclusion, it is by far the most underwhelming ending you could possibly give a series like this. They defeat the alien, manage to escape back to earth as the alien ship caves in upon itself and are reunited with Tae and Kato's brother on the beach of plot convenience. The end, everybody gets a happy ending, no further closure to be found. I wouldn't have a problem with this if it wasn't completely contrary to the theme of the series had built up to this point (as bland and as same old as it was). It's clear that Oku is just fed up with Gantz so if he can't care then I'm not going to bother either. This is the worst manga ending that I have read so far and is a hot contender for having one of the worst endings of any story based medium ever. 1/5. |
 |
| Worst ending possible, I saw it coming.. |
| This ending man...what a rushed crap...I'm so dissappointed with this, how can he turn a MASTERPIECE into this? I just don't get it, if he was tired of writing Gantz then he should have just ended it and forget about this invasion stuff. Whatever, a 10 series turned out to be a 9 because of the final arc. This sucks, stop lurking for money Oku. I just noticed that in the last page's first panel there's Kaze, Mary (blonde girl) and Takeshi. I guess that's the only thing of the whole chapter that makes me happy, Kaze and Takeshi deserved a good ending, best character of the manga! |

| It's finally over. Meh, since the manga went to shit a long time ago, I guess this is the best we can get. Oh well, I'm glad Katou and Kei didn't die. I won't forget how great it was until they went to alien planet ;_; |
| Well, this sucked. Oh well, was expecting it anyway. x: |
Tae should've died, again, and Nishi can go to hell... But Muscle Rider  |
| |
| Well I guess that was an alright ending. But they should really have another chapter as an epilogue. They used too many panels that didn't really have a point. Like all the people around the world cheering. |
| I think this is the worst ending I've ever read. 3/10 |
    |
| Well.. happy ending i guess.. BUT SO RUSHED. But i expected more, i mean there are a lot of holes, like what the heck happened to the vampires, why they gave up so easily. FrostToaster said: Well I guess that was an alright ending. But they should really have another chapter as an epilogue. They used too many panels that didn't really have a point. Like all the people around the world cheering. That too.. i mean ok, Kurono is the World's hero but COME ON.. probably they wasted like 5-6 chapters with those panels. Anyways, im glad that Kei and Katou are alive but.. i dont know.. something is wrong here. They should give us like 2-3 special chapters just to clarify this situation. |

| I'm just glad this is over. What a terrible final arc. 「タエちゃん...会いたい...」 Barf. Then they suddenly meet up on the beach. Awful. Just awful. |

| Ohw my god THAT'S IT? The earth is saved and the heroes survived??? This is so Hollywood! |
 |
| i'm waiting till it's translated,i hope it's not as bad as people say also whoever mentioned cage of ecden thank you,i've been waiting for it to end so i can start reading it,now i can finally start it |
 |
| ok just saw the raw,yeah it's not that great but he ended it ok...or at least predictable this last arc wasn't that good but i did enjoyed this manga i'm kinda expecting a few special chapters or a one shot with the events after this |
|
| What the fuck, how can Oku end it like that?! I seriously hope he has plans for some sort of sequel to wrap it, otherwise this is bullshit. |
| One of the most interesting reads with one of the worst endings ever. |
| What a shame. Still one of my favourite manga, but that was a bad ending. He gave up, we could all come up with something a lot better than that, but he gave up, didn't want to do anymore and that was it. |

| Great ride for this manga even if the destination was awful. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| R.I.P Finally, it's over. This manga was dying really slow for some time now. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| This ending was so reminiscent to "Independence Day". LOL, kill the aliens, save the Earth, get back to earth from their ship before everything goes to hell. Once you arrive to earth, be embraced by your loved ones.... I want to be fair with my final impressions of GANTZ. There was a point when I considered this manga to be very damn good and I actually had it at a 10/10...obviously that changed drastically due to the inconsistent plot holes, abandoning sub plots for no apparent reason, and giving us a pretty crappy ending arc. Regardless, the majority of this manga was a THRILL to read and it had many great moments. Final Score....7/10. |
| What did i just read ..? I never expected an ending like that. |
 |
| Very cliche and rushed end, a real shame. Actually, I was enjoying this arc of the Apocalypse, there were some epic scenes for example the aliens invading the earth, the discovery of others "gantz", Kei climbing a skyscraper with bare hands, etc. However, this will remain one of my favorite series of all time, I just feel sorry for the end otherwise I would have given a perfect score. Thank you Hiroya for these unforgettable 13 years of publication! 9/10 |

| one of the worst ending i can remember. Such a great series at one point but the last 2.5 year were just awful.... |
 |
| 3 years reading this and...wha..? This is the one of the most rushed and empty endings i ever seen, I'm not so disappointed because i know there's a lot of people who read gantz since the start and of course they will feel betrayed now with this crap ending. |
 |
| Shame about the ending, but I hope Oku creates another series. Because when Gantz was good, it was really good! |
| This last chapter... Dafuq? Anyway, this manga was a pretty damn good read, until the last arc with the final chapter.... Edit: Just read the translated scans... Overall 7.5-8/10, but that's just me. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I've read Gantz for something like 8 - 10 years & I can't help but feel betrayed. I hate that this had to happen & wonder why. I use to freak out reading this shit... RIP Gantz. You deserved better. |
 |
| FUCK We need another chapter to explain how Joichiro Nishi and Sakurai Hiroto will inevitably be revived along with Reika and the rest... How unconclusive. But seriously, what a happy ending How.... Love to see how negative a reaction this got. 40% of fans who've followed this Manga to the end just to rate the actual conclusion a 1/5. |
 |
| I didn't think the ending was horrible, just the epitome of mediocrity. It was just incredibly cliche and predictable (and resolved little, if anything). While it was somewhat marred by this last arc, I still think the series, for me, deserves an 8/10 as a testimony to the quality of the earlier parts of the series. |
| Man, this ending was worse than I imagined.. Just one more volume could've fixed it, but no.. |
| You thought this ending was bad? It was already dead. ATATATATATATA.....Not even Fist of the north star can save this one... It's a shame too, I was really hoping that Cage of Eden would be the only rushed disappointment I'd be getting for a while. =/ |

We got the reference the second you said "It was already" No need to explain yourself : PhoenixIce said: When did the other Kei die or did he just got forgotten? The other Kei died trying to attack the alien leader. He literally blew up. If anything, they forgot Nishi. He wasn't even confirmed dead. |

| Anyone expected something good after everything that happened in the last couple of arcs? The author clearly had no idea what to do with the story and every chapter was just a waste of pages and tried to drag the story as much as possible. 9/10 for the 1st half of the manga, 5/10 for the 2nd half. Overall 7 but +1 for the good old times, because i love his artstyle and actually never dropped in quality . 8/10 final score. |
 |
| I didn't enjoy the ending, I felt the whole 'everyone who died in this arc gets revived' plot point was contrived (as was the entire beach scene, really) to force a happy ending, although I'd still give the manga a 9 simply because of the fond memories I have of the first 300~ chapters, as well as the bright spots in Katastrophe. |
| That was a really rushed and unsatisfying ending, like seriously, that could have been cut down to 5 pages in 382, but whatever. Gantz will go down as one of the greatest series I have read. |
| I'm feeling betrayed. |
