Thread: 255 raw ddl

I'm almost certain that Gantz didn't provide the computer; everything he has provided so far has been unmarked tech that no one has ever seen before. In this case, we have a computer that clearly has the Microsoft label on the bottom left corner. Therefore, unless Microsoft is the one behind this all, I don’t think it was provided.

From what we have seen so far, it seems that they have a greater knowledge of Gantz's Tech. Therefore, my guess is that someone from the Osakan team made the program; I honestly don’t think Gantz would provide them such a useful tool.

I was out of town without internet access. Therefore, I didn't really experience the agonizing wait that everyone else did. I was having so much fun that I didn't even think about the new chapter.

As long as Nishi survives, I'm cool with whatever Oku decides to do to the story.

If that’s any indication, I think it’s quite possible that some of the Osakans will score 200 points. By the way, was I the only one who loved that X-gun plus Laptop combination? I wonder how they rigged it up.

Maybe the X-gun complies with USB-HID?

I would seriously LOL if that were the case. I could see Katou saying, "Oh my god, there’s a USB port on the back of the X-gun."

Bill Gates... GANTZ???

If so, then maybe the aliens are anti-trust government mutants to keep Bill Gantz from gaining a monopoly on weird guns and funny nicknames.

The raw is missing a page or two, btw.

Oda? Shame on you GGp :P

Good observation on the page count, I thought it didn't mesh too well.

Again, thank you for the poster.

Yeah, my bad.

And you're welcome. I think next chapter's gonna be the last of volume 22, and then 257's going to include some color pages.

At the very least I hope that at least a few of the Osakans pop up again after this.

If there is going to be another horde of aliens like this one team Tokyo may have to deal with another team which would be interesting. Maybe Gantz is going to have a broader scope than usual.

I wonder if there are more than one japan team, like one for each direction. I'm interested in Katou also. Him, Kaze and the Old man are who I really want to see in action.

During the conversation, it seemed like Kyou implied that he had already gotten 100 points in the current mission. I think that’s what he was saying. We’ll know in a few hours when hiss provides his always-excellent translation. I don’t know about you guys but Kyou is quickly becoming my favorite Osakan.

Yeah same here. Before I thought he was an idiot drug addict, but he actually seems like he knows what he's doing and he seems like a nice guy to take a newbie under his wing. So far, Anzu, Kuwabara and Kyou are my favorite Osakans... can't really say much for anyone else. If George was a badass, he would be too, but apparently he's retarded. Nobu is just gay.

I want to see Katou, Kaze and Old man do something. Also, Inaba needs to fucking do something, or else he's going to be a pussy forever. (And we can't forget Nishi now can we?) I also want Reika and Sakurai to get enough points to become free because their character development is seriously lacking.

Yeah, so do I. The horse was really freaky. I loved it.

That makes the two weeks wait bearable. I don't know if it's missing two pages tho. Maybe its an over 20 average. Oku used to do that with the over 15 average and last chapter never said this chapter was 25 pages long.

Yes, they do seem to have better tech, but It's really strange how they figured that out. Especially if it was Kyou who was the one who did it.

The real reason for Oku creating Gantz. Microsoft fucked him over one too many times.

wow, nice chapter.
Looks like Sadako is finally back (as an alien)
