Thread: Chapter 277 Discussion - 278 Prediction

^^The "casual" way in which you just put up "now, he should die" sent some shivers down my spine. (Private Joke "Zetsubou Shita! This forum that casually marks cool characters for death ore ni zetsubou shita!!!").
I don't really have anything to add to what teiohx said - HS does take up a lot of character space, and having him and kurono/izumi back would make the story too character intensive. Remember how we have been asking where the hell is HS for the last ten chapters or so? Just think about how messy things would get if we were waiting on Kurono/Izumi to make an entrance as well... not to mention da L337 c4mp3r Mr N1sh1.
^I second M_Y. Anzu dying, Katou getting almost/completely wrecked and HS butting in at the last moment are all things that were mentioned here and there in this forum. Of course, it's not bad - the way oku presented it all is just epic (buildings going boom, HS's slicing action is suberbly drawn, etc), but event wise I was expecting a bit more. I dunno, everyone gets their asses kicked and in the end HS soloes Nuri down his last life, using nano's or something. Or he turns Katou into a vampire to save him, and they beat Nuri together... etc, etc

on: Honestly, this might turn into some kind of cycle of who to bring back. If Kurono comes back after HS dies, people will start wanting Hikawa back as well (same for Izumi I think but I don't see many people cheering for his return) of course this may not be the case. Do we want HS dead? not really but it may be manditory as Shin stated earlier, "HS does take up a lot of character space." Wouldn't count on any of this happening for a while anyways due to the fact Oku is trying to get in some Katou time.

I predict Tits kills Nuri, scores the 100 points and instead of reviving Kurono she chooses to have a bigger bu er stronger weapon. If it was me I want more Rika action!!

That's the same thing I was thinking.

Oh come on say it ain't so. This is one of the coolest character and if he dies then what do we have? The same people damn near everyone was getting bored of.

dang i have a headache ... when is the 278 gonna be online damm D:

^ It comes out in Japan on aug 7th, expect a raw/scanlation a few days after then..

Stop kidding yourselves, we all know vampire boy is just stalling till takeshi can go Super Saiyan.

Whilst its true that HS is basically a uber-character slayer, I am growing on him since he first appeared. I also want to know more about the vampires past since the manual is untranslated atm.

@shin_igami: Didn't mean to scare you! We're cool right? :P

Does it really take you guys a few days to get the raw scans??? I live in Japan and usually head over to the convenience store early morning on Thursdays to read the newest gantz when it comes out. If you guys really want me to, I can try to buy a scanner or at least translate the script for you the day it comes out. No promises since I have a job to do on Thursdays, but "a few days" is kind of a long time for you all to wait.

^If you did that, i'd cry with joy... T-T... "sniff, sniff"... tears are coming just at the thought of it... T-T
