Of course he is going but it was interesting to hear him say that he is calm and the humans in the crowd can fuck off indeed.

And let me guess that the other Gantz guys are just going to let Kurono do the job.

All chapter was just "GO KURONO/DIE KURONO" on the one side and "Don't go" on the other :P And it's look like the final battle will come.

Still not convinced about the entire ending. That guy wanted revenge so badly that he would kill all his people just to get Kei? Why would anyone believe he will keep his promise if he lost? Why is it that the gantzers won the battle but cannot take down one guy who has just participated in it earlier? Why is it that even "gods" have to run away from the Gaints but the Gantzers can defeat them?
So many questions, so little explanlation. I don't know why I should care about the final battle

Even though Gantz chapters have kind of fallen off, I really enjoyed this particular chapter because it brings a more disgusting side of human nature to light. All these people around the world that haven't done sh*t for Kurono and know nothing more of him than his name are willing to see him off to a gruesome death, so that they can go on living.

Not one person that was screaming for Kurono to go took a second to think that even if Kurono goes, the Giants could still crash the mothership into Earth. Why were they so willing to believe the words of an enemy that Earth just defeated? Stupidity and selfishness at its finest!

I wished they had left out the forum part and just kept it to just the people in the crowd. The forum people were so annoying and unrealistic. No one even knows him or what he's capable of yet they either hate him or want him dead even though he's their one chance to save the Earth, plus they've supposedly already obtained the info on the spaceship to make the calculations necessary to predict the crash within seconds of that guy announcing what he would do.

The latests chapters were kinda boring, they are just like teasing us and postponing the end, but for some reason I liked this one. It's probably because it made me remember the Kurono of the beginning and how people had been selfish throughout the whole series. I really want the next chapter to be the final battle and no more stuffing and endless chating. I want to see action again!!

I continue saying that those who doesn't like it just stop reading this manga. I mean there's no sense in constantly criticizing it by how bad it is and continue reading... And about this chpater: it fills up great with the story, and not only this, the previous ones, which were "boring, and full of no-sense battles, endless chatting and staring at each other", those ones are well-done too, it's been that way since the beginning of the series so I don't know what are you peps complaining about... Oku's style is what is it... (just not necessary to say that it's one of the best to show gestures and express emotions, but it's well drawn too)... accept it.

I agree, my thoughts exactly.
I really hope the showdown will be amazing though. I kinda miss the good old days when Gantz was amazing over the top battles. Not a big fan of this arc, but liked this chapter.

Well, you won't hear me say that I don't like it, it's just that, in my opinion, I prefer the previous arcs over this one. And my curiosity totally prevents me from dropping this manga xD Though this arc did bring some interesting ideas about Oku's view on stuff, or maybe not necessarily his view but just stuff to make his story work out. I liked some of the revelations in the arc when it comes to that.

That was the chan community i can actually imagine them responding like that.

I am guessing the Gantz crew will team up to beat the big guy, or it will be 1v1. Though i doubt the latter

I never said I didn't like it, but c'mon, he waste chapters senseless. 377 chapters and he could have tell the same in 100. He made a whole chapter just for a fucking blowjob. And in the meantime other series cancelled with less than 20 chapters. The whole manga industry system is a joke.

I think that guy is actually Izumi reincarnated or somesuch.

Izumi likes to compete with Kurono.

I was kind of hoping something would happen with Tae seeing as it was Valentine's Day. Oh well. It was awesome seeing blondie call out Kurono's name with his family seeing and everything. Time for a showdown! FINALLY. Also, I'm still holding out hope for the Vampires to return.

No! Thanks! I've been reading this manga for god knows how long and I won't drop it until it ends! But this doesn't mean that I'm enjoying reading it!.. No, It just became boring, uninteresting and dragged out!..

So, please, tell me this: what did this "filled up with the story" chapter actually accomplished? What did we learn here?
People are bastards? Yes, definitely, but Gantz has been showing it non-stop from the first chapter onwards...
Character development for Kurono? Well, ditto... I haven't seen here anything we haven't seen before...
So, what was the point of this chapter, what was the point of the "gladiator fights" of the last chapters?.. Why does this chapters have to exist?..

Please, can you really answer this? Because I'm sincerely wonder what did you find here?..

So many questions, so little. I don't know why I should care about the final battle


The gods didnt finish them becuase they dont give a shit. they are high beings that can do what ever the fuck the want. they can create and destroy as they wish, they just found the gaints as a anoying nusence and sent them to earth. They didnt want all of life on earth to die so they sent info the drasticly advance human technology. far greater then the giants. but... they never expected the human be retards and instead of selling the tech they just used it for a game... But yea, also they talked to the humans near the end basically to fuck with them, destroying there world and hopefully advancing there way of thought of the world.

Also... about the previous chapters... when the gods talked about reincarnation? that would meen there are 4 kurono souls.... and if there connected to there next life with other souls... how the fuck will that work? the first kurno would be fucked because he wasn't connected to any one, but kurono 1-4 all had deep connections with the same people... be fucked up if kurono 2 reincarnates to the son of kurono 3? and Tae? and if the brought back every one close to kurono just to kill them... that means that there are 2 kishimotos and 2 Reika's...

I really enjoyed this chapter, it seems like the plot's finally beginning to edge towards a final battle of sorts.

I also enjoyed the whole 'I'll be back' moment while looking intense, way to go Kurono.

This manga will end parodying itself...hard. Another savior complex conclusion. As for the chapter, half of the pages were redundant.

This "final" arc sounds so weak if you compare with the past arcs. Some of the missions in the previous chapters were almost impossible, with the "there's no hope for mankind" feeling. But this battle doesn't look like something big, that will save everyone and it's really the last hope... I don't know, maybe because the mangaka "humanised" the enemies, showing that they live their lifes like we live ours (different from some other enemies, like giant dinossaurs or those temple statues), so, the enemy is not quite the super-powerful-monster I wished to see in the final arc (like in a game, in the end you defeat the most powerful one). Well, let's see what happens, maybe in the next chapters we will see some actions.
