| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- So yeah, as I expected the guys go full retard and start dying, bye dual katana guy, you will be missed, the old man and the nerd are dead too. Now it's time for Kei to shine, he looked so cool in the last pages. The series is "ending" in the next chapter but...I can't see this as a good ending at all, the author likes to keep things slow when explaining some stuff, and judging by the end of this chapter either we will see the enemy dying really really fast and a small epilogue bringing the conclusion to this awesome series or this isn't really the end. I don't know what to think, we will have to wait till the 19th. |
| Holy shit, the vampires, Oku didn't forget them after all. It's a shame those guys had to die but it fits Gantz. Seeing Kei fly like a canon ball reminded me of the fight against the buddha statues, I wonder if it's intentional. I just don't see how the upcoming final chapter is gonna work as ending unless it's 50 pages long or Oku has plans for a short sequel. |
| I'm afraid. If Oku had intentions on finishing it, why isn't he answering any questions? Unless he's doing a sequel, the ending can't be good... |
| So it will really be over with next chapter? I feel kinda disapointed. |
| Is Nishi dead for good? |
 |
| This is the first chapter I'm reading as it is released and I gotta say, can't believe this thing is ending just as I catch up. Finally the vampire duo is seen again, but will it be for the last time? CissySSE said: Is Nishi dead for good? I really hope not. |
| It was a fairly nice chapter taken by itself, especially as we got to see the vampires once more, but it was slightly marred by the fact that it hardly answered any questions and was the penultimate chapter. Well, it'll be interesting to see how many lingering plot threads Oku will be able to tie up in one chapter... |
| Did I get it right? The next chapter will have all pages in color? |
| Wait what. its ending next chapter |
| Are we not going to get anything explained *sigh* well i saw this coming |

I kinda felt this way too, and all that Kato said about that he could do anything if he's with kei-chan, that also reminded me of the Buddha mission. Just gotta wait a bit. Let's see what happens. |

| Unless the last chapter is incredibly long (which I doubt), we're in for a very shitty ending. |
Kayro said: Unless the last chapter is incredibly long (which I doubt), we're in for a very shitty ending. Even if it's 100 pages long, at this point there's nothing awaiting us but a shitty ending. The mangaka just dragged it on too long and he can't explain his own plot holes. It's frustrating and disappointing but as a person who's been reading a lot of manga for awhile now, this is something you get used to. Oh well, onto the finale... |
| Wasting time on this battle instead of explaining stuff. Well, still looking forward to see how it ends. |
| Kurono is gonna rape dat deviant titan ass |
 |
| Please Gantz I don't want you to end :'( Epic chapter is epic, somehow I find myself feeling sorry for the bishie alien |
| 100 pages in next chapter, please |
| i can't believe gantz will end in the next chapter T-T i hope we get anime adaptation (remake) with great quality.. "sendo her.. too.. o-sa-ka" *Broken english this made me laugh so hard xD |
| Kei bullet FTW! That chapter was nice... but i still cant belive Gantz will end next chapter... |
| ... |
| its ending next chapter I dont know how he will end it.... |
 |
| Just another average chapter of Gantz frankly: snail slow pacing, fodder characters unceremoniously killed off (except for the guy who looks like Izumi), needless double paged spreads that just slow down the action even more and ending on a cliffhanger of Kato and Kei teaming up to beat the alien, considering that they're the only two characters that seem to matter anymore (and it remains to be seen just how useful Kato will end up being). It was cool to see Host Samurai again at least, but it still sucks he wasn't given anything cool to do since the Nura arc. It feels to me that Oku has just gotten tired of writing this series and has just been padding the arc out to an unsatisfying conclusion (in fact he'd probably would've rushed it even further if it weren't for just how big of a cash cow it has turned into). In any case once this series ends, so will my obligation to keep reading it. It was a fun, mindless ride before the aptly named Catastrophe arc began. |
 |
| The final chapter better have a shit ton of pages |
| There really isn't much questions left to answer. |
| I wonder how this'll all end... and did they forget about Kishimoto? |
| It's ending next chapter and nothing important has been explained... |
 |
| This last arc has been quite a letdown in my opinion. Wonder what the next chapter will be like. Can't really say I'm sad to see Gantz go, since it didn't live up to the Osaka arc action at all. |
     |
| I love how he just randomly sticks the vampires in the crowd so he can say "you see guize?!? I didn't forget about them after all!!!!" Really dumb. Snail paced chapter with faux edginess and a shitty drawn out fight scene. Kei has officially completed his devolution into a shounen protagonist. A little ashamed that he was once on my favorites. Anyway, it's actually impressive how shitty this all turned out, considering how much potential it once had. Oku is just a lazy storyteller. We aren't going to get a good conclusion, regardless of how many pages the next chapter has, the myriad plot holes throughout the manga are irreversible and crippling as they are numerable. I wish there was at least some halfway-decent mindless action though. |

| Wow the vampires! Long time no see. |
 |
| am i the only one that got happy when the vampires were shown? |

renders said: am i the only one that got happy when the vampires were shown? It was a cop-out imo. Might as well have not shown them. They were just there to emphasize how important and cool Kei is. |
| I am important. I have a girlfriend. Check out my podcast |
| The vampires should fight that Alien imo. They may have a better chance then the current Gantz team. So Kei gonna head-butt the Alien? It is nothing more than a suicidal Kamikaze move. We are looking at a bad end in which Kei dies |
 |
| After reading the comments I realized I didn't even recognize the vampires when they were shown in the chapter! The uploads were so slow that I've forgotten a lot of the characters, gotta re-read Gantz as soon as it's over ._. |
| Finally! This manga got so messed up that I was just waiting for this, the story after the buddhas isn't worth reading at all. "OH LOOK GIANT ALIENS" ... ... ... Wiped out by tiny stupid humans. Oku about the vampires: "Oh, wait, maybe in another series... let's forget about them.". Oku about the animals: "Animals? Where? Oh yeah, there were some, shit, forgot about them lol.". Oku about Gantz: "Gantz? What's this?". >< Stupid ending ahead, here we go! |
Moune said: If it'll end the next chapter, how will they end it? Poorly. Really I can see it going one of two ways, with the actual outcome most likely falling somewhere in between: Happy Ending: They land a decisive blow on the alien and whoever is remaining from that fight gets off the ship and lives happily ever after, perhaps using Gantz technology to form a Earth Self-Defence Force to protect the planet from future alien attacks. Bad Ending: The remaining survivors all end up dying aboard the spaceship after taking down the final alien threat, leaving Tae to cry over "KEI-KUN!!!" for the rest of her existence, Ayumu growing up without his brother and the Osaka lady surviving without her teenaged heartthrob. The rest of the world is left in ruin but will slowly rebuild itself, as that's what humanity does after a disaster. In any eventuality I have a feeling this will be a hot contender for worst manga ending I have ever read (which includes the cop-out of an ending that Tenjou Tenge had). |
|
| However way it ends, i don't think it will have much closure. It would have to consist of a lot of pages to get the closure we want and to summarise the manga well. After we got that explanation from the Demi-god thing, it kind of fizzled out. I still love the manga, but it shouldn’t have ended like this. Essentially what the ending of this manga was, human life is pointless, you're pointless, who gives a shit you're just a spec. Still pretty cool though. |

asdf546 said: Are we not going to get anything explained *sigh* well i saw this coming Pretty much. It has been a long time since Gantz stopped being a satire and started being mindless dragfest with no meaning. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Vampires are dumb anyway. |
 |
| Gantz had such an intense build up I really didn't expect that it would all turn out this way. The Osaka Arc showed so much promise for ridiculous battles but all we got was Oku asleep at the wheel. After following this series from beginning to end, waiting for chapters every month for years, I feel almost enraged. Its so frustrating to see a beautiful creation like this spit on by its maker. I don't even know if I want to read the last chapter. It already feels over anyway. |

Pathlessbullet said: What plotholes is everyone talking about? There may have been some inconsistencies but I don't recall major plotholes, either. |
| |
| Oh there are still an awful lot of things that do need some serious explanations. You've been missing out on the details if you don't know the plotholes. That or the manga has been dragging for so long you simply forget the plotholes or come up with a conclusion of your own that isn't satisfactory either, but you simply learn to deal with it because lots of time passed. But right now the only thing i want to know is wtf is up with Sebastian. His face randomly showing up in the room of the creatures simulating the real world doesn't explain anything since those guys were just randomly displaying faces. Then wtf is Sebastian even doing in the simulated world pretending to be human and giving information to a reporter. Where the hell did he teleport to? Also why are those beings even simulating this world. This plothole alone is way too huge and kills part of the story all by itself. Look at the art of the manga it is really amazing. Look at the story and how it started, it's just phenomenal, you rarely get to see something so amazing and well started. And this ending is like anything that was good about the manga was dumped into a big pile of shit and flushed down the toilet. HORRIBLE ENDING! P.S: no explanation where he hell the vampires got the nanobots to make them vampires ... |

I'd write a scathing review as well, but it's not worth rereading any of this shit. I'm just gonna read the last chapter and forget this manga ever happened. |

The author is just hoping people forget about that kind of stuff or he's gonna do something else related with Gantz, just appart from the big main series. |
