Gantz Chapter 372 Discussion

UGH....so much fucking fail in this chapter.



So, humans are worthless but they get reincarnated?



FUCK THAT!



Couldn't you keep it simple and say that once they die, they cease to exist?



That is the most logical conclusion if you're going to spout off a bunch of philosophical bullshit at us.



Not this 21 grams nonsense!



Oh and I hope Kei 2.0 or whatever stays fucking dead!

Haven't you people seen the movie 21 Grams? Good movie.

Nothing interesting in the chapter anyway.

Actually the creator of this manga must have done his research. I did a paper on Dr. Duncan Mcdugal who is a scientist in the early 20th century. And he took the weight of 7 ppl as they died on a giant gram scale. The weight of each person as they died was 21 grams. So he told the world this was the weight of the persons soul. They soon called him crazy for testing on dogs and what not. But it was nice to see that in a manga.

This also brings up something else.  Do Kurono 1.0 and Kurono 2.0 have different souls?  It could be that some time in the next 19 years, Kurono 1.0 dies and is the one used for the rebirth.  Or it could be a combination of the two.



The soul explanation also brings up some more questions .  Does it mean that there are a finite number of souls?  Can a soul be copied for reincarnation to make up for a limit (Besides the cloning thing)?  Is the soul of everyone always a reused soul, or are new souls created?  Do souls eventually stop being used?  Will these questions be answered in the remaining chapters?  Probably not.



Also, if they can tell how someone will be reborn, then couldn't they know how the information they sent to Earth be used?  Though I suppose it could be either they didn't care or it's like that whole "master of fate and tool of fate" thing in Dune.



As for how they get back, I suppose someone on Earth could use one of those alien transports to get to them, or there might be some small craft on that ship or station they can use to get off.  The big problem for the first solution is how does anyone know to come rescue them?

well so the kei clone died pretty fast

Now that I have caught up when do the new chapters get released? Every 2 weeks?



I don't know when they're released but I do know they're released very sporadically, and it can go months between each release.  So consider yourself lucky you came this far without the torturous wait.  The manga is much more enjoyable read in batches, rather than chapter by chapter.  Though I guess this can be said for almost all manga really.

A whole chapter just so Morgan Freeman(how appropriate) could tell us that reincarnation is true ? Kinda disappointing.

if you guys don't know every human that dies loses 21 gram and science dont know why (some say its a soul). animals stay the same



Interesting, I did not know that.  Read a bit more about it on snopes.  I find the idea of something as immaterial as the soul having physical weight a bit ridiculous, but still it's an interesting topic that doesn't seem to have had further study judging by a 60 second google search.
