The old man mentioned his grandson in the Dino Mission. I think he said something like how he was about Kurono's age or some other similiarity and crap. Nothing interesting, but yeah, I definitely remember it being mentioned.

As for who should/will die, I have a feeling that in the next mission or Katastrophe, that a great part of the current team will die in one go, except people like Katou and Kurono. Here's my predictions:

- Panda: we see him kicking ass with that suit and tearing up a whole lot of aliens for about a chapter, then he runs into the boss or a mini-boss and gets killed in one hit.

- Old man: Fights side-by-side with Kurono and the rest of the team and does reasonably well, then gets pwned while they try to take out a boss or mini-boss together. He will probably be the first, reasonably important character to die.

- Sakurai: Might be the last one to die. I have a feeling he'll hang on until the very end and will end up giving his life to fight a 100-point boss with his psychic powers, possibly giving Kurono, Katou or someone else the chance to finish it off. It's also possible that he'll merely get wounded and bleed to death before Gantz transfers him back.

- Reika: With her new, Kurono-of-her-own obsession, she'll desperately try to get 100 points next mission and ends up kicking a ton of ass. However, she doesn't think things through enough and maybe even ignores Kurono's advice, risking everything for points, fights the boss on her own and gets killed. It's possible Inaba protects her, though, and she ends up surviving because of it.

- Kaze & Takeshi: We get a repeat of what happened in the Nuri Mission, except this time, Takeshi gets killed. Kaze vows to revive him by killing the boss and using his 100 points, fails aswell, but probably gets in a couple good hits before he's killed.

- Inaba: Ends up surprising everyone by fighting together and killing a few aliens, but cowers again after witnessing the power of the boss and fellow Gantz members getting killed. When Reika is in trouble, he tries to protect her and gives his life to make it happen. It's possible Reika still gets killed afterwards, though.

- Chigusa/Kill Bill: Wears the Gantz suit along with Host Samurai, kicks a lot of ass, dies trying to save him from the boss. Might get revived afterwards.

Now, as for those that survive and why:

- Kurono: Main character, l33t h5xx0r sk1llz, needs to beat a 100-point boss at least once and was recently revived. He'll probably surprise everyone by not reviving anyone from the team and getting an H-Gun or another 100-point weapon.

- Katou: Will finally prove his worth and gets a lot of points. Probably work together with Kurono to take down the boss. It's possible he'll revive someone afterwards or that he'll realise it's a waste of points.

- Nishi: Tries to kill-steal again, fails, but survives. Finally gets a 100 points next mission and gets an H-Gun or revives Izumi.

- Host Samurai: Wears a suit, kicks ass, get wounded, but survives the mission. If he gets a 100 points, he'll revive Chigusa.
