----------------------------------------
Are they now just having a one-on-one battle royale? I don't see where this is going anymore.

Funny to see Takeshi at the end sleeping at the park bench while everyone else is fighting to save the planet. Also nice to have the real Kurono Kei in the chapter. I can't shake the feeling that he'll be transported back to the frontlines sometime soon.

That scene was so weird, why wouldn't all of them fight that one alien and why are the other aliens just standing there?

Pretty confusing chapter... They really didn't need to fight like that, and if the aliens wanted to kill them, why was only one fighting at a time...? It's like they were letting them be transported... Hopefully Kei gets back in the action soon, and I'd still like to see Reika back alive ;(

That, tonally, felt really odd.
Hardly anyone seemed to notice these battles going on, and the chapter felt like it was leading somewhere and then, just kind of went nowhere. :/

Nice movie parody posters, though.

Kato's brother, I believe.

Yeah I have no idea what the big incentive for the lining up to be transported is. I really hope this isn't going to be the end of Gantz when everyone ends up getting transported back to Earth, because if that's the case it would be pretty anticlimactic.

Fairly obvious that it's Kato's brother because he's one of the few nameable kids in that age range in this series... On the other hand going by pictures like this...



He's got the exact same hairstyle as Nishi Jouichiro...

Yeah this chapter was very anticlimatic. It started off good, thinking they needed the aliens to pilot a ship to get back, which would have been interesting. But no, one of the balls is still working somehow. Or is it? Are they really being transported back home? As far as I saw, there was no proof they were.

Also if they leave the giants with their ships, what's to stop them from orbit bombing the planet or was that something I missed? Once they are off the ships, it would take time to get back on them. Enough time for the aliens to bomb a large chunk of what is left of humanity.

But I am sure that something is going to happen.

In my opinion, Gantz hasn't been the same since Shion Izumi died.

I think one of those transported was being interviewed by the media back on earth, when he was talking about the easiest way to defeat the giants. :)

Honestly, this chapter makes me wonder what the big build-up with those divine-alien things was. It didn't really seem to amount to much other than an overwrought lesson in philosophy.

Ah, you're right. That's probably more accurate.

I like how this has dissolved from a discussion of the plot in the chapter and more a discussion on the pop culture references.

I doubt that... If my memory serves me well, that kid on a bench on the last page was Kato's brother. Hmm that boy looked like a younger Kurono...

By the way, why do you think that this is the end of this manga? I think it's really loooong way from ending...

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.

What the hell is going on? So much randomness at this point ...

So they are just dueling the giants for fun now? And that head honcho dude seems to have been corralled too ... Though I can't really say they didn't deserve this, I mean what they did wasn't any better.

Even though every other Gantz Ball had become inoperational, Team America's ball is still working for some reason and all that's left to do was to wait in line and to finish off the stragglers including their most powerful warrior to pass the time in addition to passing it off as entertainment.

They've essentially won the war at this point. I don't know how things will go wrong and I hope that it won't.

so only one of the black balls is still working, my guess its the final gift from the higher being that belong to that advanced civilization, so i guess yeah, humanity cannot control the technology that power the black balls

Eeva Gund finally shows up after a long time! the manga did not do a good job at hyping the invaders God of War, what can he even do at this point?

Remember a couple of chapters ago when aliens were watching humans getting slaughtered by those skeleton-shaped creatures? Now the same thing is happening, but with humans as the spectators
