And so we learn the back story of what Gantz is, and a horrible back story at that.

If Gantz continues to plummet like this, then I'll be forced to lower the score I gave it. ^_^

Yep, I agree that the idea of a fat retarded girl being the main force behind the creation of gantz balls is without a doubt stupid but this is only how the balls are created. I don't give a damn on how they were made I just want to know why. The guy mentioned it being about a bet but I hope he's joking.

The writer f*cked this up but hopeful there is a better reason behind it or the whole series fails.

Unless im blind apparently all the daughter is saying is "ein zwei drei" which is like 1, 2, 3, so um I don't get how this genius got some scholars to make something from the numbers 1, 2 and 3.

And I don't see how the vampires fit into all this. Did the author watch too many vampire movies and added it as a whim?

Kinds weird to read this half-English/half-German... but not as weird as the translator translating more than the old guy actually said. But I have to compliment the author, that's the best German I've ever read in a Manga (well, if you ignore that vocabulary-malfunction from last time).

She mumbled a whole bunch of numbers, some logarithm I'd say.

I was against the idea of her being the key to everything as well but for some reason, I started to like it. I could live with it but it's too early to jump to conclusions... or THE conclusion in this case.

Could just mean that she have savant syndrome. Savants are often mentally handicapped in some way, for example, unable to communicate properly, have a reading age of 6 etc.. but excel at other stuff like mathematics, when I say excel I mean ridiculously good at it.

There are those who can recognise prime numbers just by looking at it.

QFT.

This is turning out so stupid. What a CRAP development.
I recall someone predicting that this actually some TV show, turns out they're not far off. Anyway, I hope it concludes within the next three weeks before it gets worse. If it can get anymore worse that is.....

I'm getting even more confused. When GANTZ finishes publishing, I'll read through all of it once again.

But the retarded daughter was just.... too much. I was hoping for a more awesome explanation for the whole thing, but... oh well. :/

I thought the reveal was hilarious, disturbing and typical of the manga. Why are people disappointed at the idea of it being revolving around bets? The entire manga is about the disgusting nature of humanity, we've seen an entire cast full of humans do disgusting things, with a handful attempting to do the right thing, it comes as no surprise to me that that Gantz is just a game of amusement for the elite.

The aliens have yet to be explained though...

Indeed. Best post of the thread.

I'm okay with this plot development, I just hope it's something much, much deeper and this is just the surface.

Wait ... So Gantz really was just a game? Where the hell did the aliens come from then ... Anyways I am going to guess that the "German Otaku" is somehow evil.

The creation of Gantz and all the chaos occurring all around the world being founded on the prophetic code muttered by the founder's mentally disabled daughter who also looks like she's never emerged from that bed her whole life is absurd enough for the fake news media to not even bother covering it seriously lmao

I hope this isn't the actual backstory. Given that there are aliens and monsters, I was hoping the entity behind Gantz might be some sort of divine creator.

So the code for Gantz program came from a retarded 800lbs girl? And it was all just a game for the rich? Hostel anyone?

Haha I love it tbh.

Ayyo what a kino twist. It fits the batshit nature of this series. People who were expecting a logical explanation for Gantz are weird, because this whole series has been ridiculous. In a good way of course.
