Thread: Chapter 256

For some reason raws never seem to come on Thursdays anymore... =(

Yeah, like the 2-3 week wait for a chapter isn't bad enough. At least njt did a quick translation for us this time.

You know, if what was said in that spoiler translation was true, im questioning the condition of that 100 point monster before Oka stepped in to kill it.

Now I think it's up in the air to see who kills the 100 point boss, as we got the Kurouno clone, Oka, and at least Katou going for it.

My money is on Nishi

When you say Kurono clone, do you mean Kyou who looks like Kurono somewhat or Kuwabara who seems to have Kurono's suit-less survival abilities?

IIRC EMPs do in fact cause some level of brief disorientation to biological targets, not that it's particularly significant. It also doesn't affect the point that there's no evidence whatsoever that Gantz has one to give out.

I'm still of the opinion that the picture is weird and there's no actual mech, but I guess we'll find out.

Kyou the one who looks like Kurouno somewhat(man i hope he survives just on principle), I forget most of their real names so I usually use the nick names, so the naked guy is the nude rapist.

but sakata might die though (after what he said we all se it coming)

I agree with you but I don't think its just to show their power, maybe for some kinda intense action... The moment I saw that team then the way they acted, I was thinkin they'd all die. It'll be stupid if they all die though since they have Oka.

2 straight chapters of talk. I think the next one will be great though. Did it say when the next release date will be?

I don't think Oka will make a big difference in whether team Osaka survives or not. None of the Osakans seem to care much about their teammates and I doubt Oka is an exception. He might inadvertantly save some lives by killing aliens, but I bet that's it.

Besides getting high and having a great time, they aren't doing anything the Tokyo team hasn't done. Also, I don’t think many of the remaining Osakans will die. In my opinion, this arc is a pre-transitionary period, which is being used as a first step to shift focus to Oka and some other members. I’m not saying Oku is going to abandon the Tokyo team. What I am saying is that he feels it’s necessary to introduce new characters to keep the manga interesting, which as we all know is very true. I mean, almost every manga in existence needs an occasional spark that can only be provided by new characters.

Are you criticizing the manga for having talking scenes? If so, that has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. We need them to talk; at this point in the manga, we know almost nothing. We’re past the halfway point; we should know something big by now!

Kyou and Anzu?
