Well yeah this chapter was kind of pointless ... just setting the feel for the possibly massive uncovering of everything related to Gantz. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Kurono found out about Gantz being manmade but the Katastrophe kinda made it feel a bit anticlimactic for him. Kikuchi's about to learn about the whole truth of Gantz's origins and I can't wait to hear from that factory's owner about why they've created such a thing.
