Gantz Chapter 339 Discussion

----------------------------------------

                        Sakurai's back. Although he killed a few aliens in this chapter, he haven't started his killing spree yet. Also, the Gantzers realized they're now wanted terrorists.

just out of curiosity, do we know what happened to hoi hoi (the panda)?



it'd be sad to see him die when he's actually gotten to grips with fighting lol :3

got himself a good 40 points a while back paha :L

I hope cherry doesn't continue with his massacre. He's not Izumi even if his girlfriend died by their hands. I mean, the grandmother + grandchild was such an obvious moral dilemma that gives us hope that cherry won't go down that path. I just hope it was right to hope.PRESSit said:
Again with the moral and philosophical dilemmas. Thats why i love gantz. ;)I wonder if Oku had expressed all the moral/social/philosophical/psychological dilemmas of humanity yet. They're not apparent all the time but damn there was a whole lot of them. Even among the ridiculous death count and violence.

People are willingly going up to the ship because of some stupid news report? These characters are so dumb! Their country is literally decimated around them, but they're going to trust the aliens? And they're excited? Come on!

Poor Cherry.

You can really feel for the poor guy.

Such emotion drawn into his facial expressions.



I wonder who is the "voice" he is hearing is.

Is he imagining his teacher, or his lover, or someone else.

I lol'd at the One Piece Theme.

Go on Sakurai ... Do it! Ignore your conscience (or that girl's voice, which ever it is) and just wreck those giants!

Again with the moral and philosophical dilemmas. Thats why i love gantz. ;)

I don't get it, the aliens come in destroy our infrastructure, destroy our governments, kill our families, and destroy everything we hold dear. Then they do a 180 say we're all supposed to be friends and that the Gantz fighters are terrorist.....and everyone's okay with that? The masses just accept the terrorist bit and begin hating Kei and the rest of the fighters? No one holds any resentment for the aliens at all? I mean what the hell I know the writer for Gantz usually gets really cynical when detailing the feelings of the masses but seriously this is just plain old dumb, and in my opinion a pretty plain plot hole if I ever did see one.



I mean history and pop culture of the past has shown us that the people never accept occupation without a fight, yet in this manga everyone is happy about this occupation and believes that BS propaganda about the Gantz dudes being terrorist....Am I the only one that thinks that's a dumb plot development?

Well we have seen....what.



The internet and a broadcast.

And then a few people who were so god damn scared they gave into the invaders...which as history shows will happen.



Thats HARDLY enough to call the masses.

For all we know there are groups opposing the aliens still...like the people who helped Tae.



i think the aliens just wanna trick and round the humans up

our mind is advanced it creates illusions to satisfy us

those corporate bigshots are stupid narrow minded

you don't work with creatures that eat your own kind

creatures that can and will betray you some day

we've got 6 some billion folks, 1 nut job in a billion is enough

Looks like there's more survivors on the ship with Tae. Wonder if there'll be more soldiers too?

Great to see Cherry back, I love how his expressions are done this chapter. It's like a blend between rage and indifference.  Feel bad for him though, he's starting to lose it..

Dang man intense.....how will humanity come to terms with this?!  Even though that broadcast is fake, can peace truly be made with this new civilization?.

Hard to say. Would you make peace with a civilization that had slaughter houses for your people? Though with the prospect of total annihilation people may be willing to turn a blind eye to it.

Sakurai ahora está luchando con sus emociones. Ha visto que hay extraterrestres buenos, pero eso ya no importa. Va a llevarse a todos los que pueda a la tumba.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I hope he won't end up dying out there :S
