What a brutal episode. The show is certainly getting on with it. I've never thought Buddhist statues could appear so ugly and evil till I saw this episode.

Today I've learned from Gantz that before a liquid in the air falls to the ground; you can jump front, turn back and say something, then jump front again to protect the one you love and confess.

But you mustn't use this time instead to simply push him out of the way saving you both.

Oh and for some reason Katou was stuck in another temporal dimension where time runs a lot slower so he couldn't simply move out of the way himself.

Honestly what was the point of building the side stories of several characters only to have

FINALLY! Kishimoto does the most useful thing she's ever done. Sadly, that's not saying much. I mean, sure, she coulda simply pushed Katou out of the way and save both their asses, but nooooo! She has to freaking stand in front of him and die. And what does that accomplish? Katou becomes even more useless (if that's possible) and causes Kurono to also almost die, too. Gee, she's useful, if only for a living shield. -_-
I think it's official, eh? Kei Kishimoto = most useless anime character ever.
Oh, and too bad about Sodakko... I was beginning to like her, actually. She was pretty cute.
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked.

Well this mission is going to hell quickly. I guess it goes to show how brutal Gantz's scheme is. Many people seem to be unsatisfied with the death of main characters, but honestly this is the best episode so far in this series IMO.

That was awesome. So much packed into this episode it is amazing. Was very sad at fag's and Sadako's death. =( Don't care about kishimoto, but i think the other-self part will make things interesting. (Masterpiece 10)

Gantz is really a masterpiece in the way that you grow to hate the characters so much that you want them to die. Then they are actually killed and you feel sad.

Cant help but agree there. But that's probably Miss Melons only use anyway. XD

Damn Kurono's about to follow her...Well anyway the fag may have turned out straight in the end with Sadako isn't he? XD

Yeah I kept wondering about that too. That's one super alien corrosive there.

Following this season, there should have been massive crowds of people out there destroying buddhist statues.

The only 'realistic' reason i can think of, is massive doses of adrenalin. I mean massive, enough to kill anyone over a longer period than a few minutes.

And Kurono's leg seem to be disappearing at a rather slow rate, but that doesn't change the fact that it is.

First - Kishimoto has the time to run in front of Katou and hug him, but doesn't have the time to push him away.

Second - Oh, let's just waste some more time until Kei-kun's leg disappears and he bleeds to death, instead of trying to kill the statue.

Yeah Kishimoto should have pushed him away. But you know how animes do it, they love making melodramatic slow motion scenes.

Though I wish we got to know about Sadako more. -sigh-

It would have been perfectly fine to push him away, but not having enough time to get out of the way herself. There, melodramatic slow motion scene and Kishimoto would still be dead, so the story wouldn't have to be changed.

But this? Nope.

Kishimoto is useless till the end, she should have pushed katou instead of running around to his front and talk to him. Those actions caused her to die and Kato became more useless than he already was and thanks to that Kurono lost his leg and arm and I sure hope that he doesn't die because he is the most worthy to be the last man surviving.

I only feel sad for sadako because she was cute and the homo was probably the most useful character after Kurono and the sniper.

Well logic in that episode was rather questionable. I feel so sad for the homo and his stalker (Finally we got to see how cute she was and started cheering up for them).

Hope Kei survives, otherwise I'll be mad!

Kato is the worst character ever!!! If it wasn't for him I swear so many characters would have lived!!

Also what was with the splitting up? Would it have made more sense if 3 suits went one side and 3 the other rather than 2 and 4?

To be honest, Kishimoto's death didn't affect me. I do ship her hard with Katou but with her out of the way, Kurono can finally grow and become a better character. He turns into such a fucking asshole when she's around.

Masanobu Hojo and Sayako's/stalker girl's death affected me more. :( I wanted them to live on and become a couple, they're my second OTP. Too bad. Anyways, I'll be THAT assfuck jerk who keeps saying, "the manga is better" because it is.

Ugh, in the manga, Kishimoto appeared randomly in front of Katou but in the Anime she stood there for an eternity without pushing him. That's why I think her death is stupid.

This was the stupidest thing I've ever watched in my life. I almost regret going back to watch this show. I don't understand why Kishimoto didn't just push Kato out of the way. Plus, that monologue was so terribly long. "Oh, I love Kato. I don't mind dying with him." JUST FREAKING PUSH HIM OUT THE WAY! They BOTH could have lived! I mean holy fucking shit... I don't think the end of an episode has ever completely ruined things for me but THIS...fucking stupid. Despite initially liking the show when I watched it years ago as a young teen, I've been slowly losing my patience with the characters after starting it back up as an adult. This episode made me lose my fucking shit, crying and laughing because the characters are so painfully idiotic.

I love the sniper guy. He gets the job done.
I'm sad Sadako died. She was the prettiest among the female leads. What a waste!
Sei is so hot, and she has nice moves!
Kishimoto's death was dumb. Haha
Wow, what an intense episode. I hope Sei survives. We are losing the waifus of the show, dammit!
What's up with this mission? Why is it ultra-hard with two bosses, and the last one is so OP and can regenerate? Gantz is pissed off for some reason.

The award for the funniest death goes to that engrish martial arts guy.....

I know Kishimoto would be dead at some point but I think this is a little ahead of the schedule that I was expecting....

I assume Sei would be next on the chopping block....

Sniper guy still alive tho....
