Chapter 257

Kyou got screwed big time my question is though like where the hellz is Anzu and Katou did they leave or have a coffee break? Then gain Katou could be doing a Kurono and problem have the "Lets have sex" mode. The nerd wasn't much help it looks bleak for Kyou but maybe he will survive the boss is just a head now so maybe his body wont die. Lastly I think Oku has really put a break on the Tokyo Gantzers and shifted to the Osakan's I hope it stays that way because the cast have gotten stale and emo. The Osakans are kick ass and bring something new to the manga.

Headshots man, headshot. It can't shoot those creepy ass disintegration beams if it doesn't have eyes! Of course you'd only find out it can do that after it starts shooting them at you.....which is why all Gantzers should go for headshots all the time. Of course that wouldn't really help with the 1000-arms...damn you Gantz you just want them to die don't you!?!?

It is true. The 100 point boss is "weak" compared to the Ultimate Oni.

However... Gantz classifies this alien under SMART.

Characteristics:

Strong
Smart
Bad

I wouldn't say it's weak, especially since we don't even know Nuri's full capabilities yet. I like to see the Oni boss take 3 X-Rifle shots and still fight.

If I am right that may be the only way, unless you got to treat him like Wolverine and just constantly cause pain.

It'll be really fucking creepy if Nurari's head grows legs and rapes the shit out of the two of them with those bug eyes of his... or even worse if all the peices of his body grow eyes and start wreaking havoc... since Oku has a tendency to put his characters in "No fucking way I can survive this shit" situations...

PS. Did Kyo really have 2 X-Rifles like the cover portrayed???

Ah yeah Kyou did have duel rifles, too bad it got disentigrated by the eyes of creepyness.
He was probably afraid of what would happen if he fucked up the shot, or the drugs were starting to have an adverse effect.
Plus I don't think Kyou is dead yet as it SEEMS the only extent of the damage to his head seems to be missing an ear and some surface flesh.

Plus wouldn't it suck if all of Gantz' technology was useless against one of the foes he sent them out to fight? I mean the suits already have their obvious weaknesses, all the Gantzers really have going for them is their own experience and their weapons. Considering how many have already been killed, taking away the weapons... you might as well just end the manga.

And peacemaker I don't think the boss is dead yet.

Even if the boss is dead there are still the two lackeys around and where is Katou?

Relax, the rest of the two teams will be fighting shortly. The last three chapters were just to build suspense for Nuri's power entrance.

Slightly off topic, but Nuri looked awesome when he shot beams from his face.

Ol' Thousand-Arms, for one—it affected it, but then it grew back. I believe there have been other cases of that, but don't remember well enough—if you count low vulnerability there definitely are, like the Giant Dino Boss (whose vital organs were somewhere non-obvious and whose sheer size made the damage fairly small).
