1000arms: You can't beat me. But before we continue, the buddha wants to ask you something.

Who are you? What are you doing here? who sent you?

We've done nothing to you, and yet, I'm the only one who's still alive.

You can't even respond?

Katou: (I'll save the author time by holding this exact pose!)
Katou: I...died...?

Kurono: Yeah...
Katou: Huh...

Page 16:
Katou: Kei-chan...you...bought me back?
Kurono: Oh...no, it was actually this man here...He gave up his own freedom to do it.

Pick something from the menu.

Kurono: Freedom...right?
What're you gonna choose?

Kaze: Is there anyone else you want to revive?

Text: Do his battle instincs come from being unable to stop fighting?
Who will Kaze bring back?

Bottom: Who will come back next?

Oh crap I readet it, now I need a freeking labotomy ](*,)

Thanks so much for that translation. OMG...that guy at the end isnt gonna bring back another one is he? I mean thats real freaky! Will he choose Tea maybe? Man I cant wait till next chapter. But seing Katou back is soo cool! I'm so glad his back....Kei realy missed him. :-D

But Tae is alive already, she was revived before Katou you probably mean Kei Kichimoto 8)

I hope that Kishimoto will be revived, because I
want to see what kind of feelings will it awake
in her. More closely I mean that Kurono is lot
more mature and nicer these days, so I want to know
what will Kishimoto think of current Kurono...

probably nothing cos she loves KAto 4ever :-D and anyway Kurono hawe Tae :?

Has any of you come to think that kei might not be coming back?

I am, of course, guessing here, but the original was never killed, Gantz screwed up.

Kishimoto would propably love Katou forever like you said, but I wonder if Kei will be more nicer towards
Kurono from now on.I think that she kinda ignored
Kurono at time to time and only praised Katou's
good sides and never Kurono's.Maybe she will
notice Kurono from now on...(and only if she will
be revived of course...Could be that se can't be revived because of her original body being alive)
well, like the signature says,who cares about me
anyway? :-D

Hey, thanks for providing a translation. Did you do it yourself?

Now, for a few points. First, it looks like you weren't sure of what kinda noise the statue's laser made in the beginning. The katakana onomatopoeia there reads something like "JONN", but if you were to adapt it to English, you could turn it into "SSsszzzzzz" or something, yeah. Second, have you guys never noticed the web address they've been publishing along with every Gantz chapter now? It's right there on that page (http://yj.shueisha.co.jp/pub-inv/asi2.html), but I can't load it. Did anyone else here try? It should be something about the Gantz CG staff (probably the dudes who do the backgrounds in the manga), but I'm not sure. Maybe it's nothing very amazing, but I was curious.

About Kishimoto, I really never cared about her. I was actually glad when she kicked the bucket because she was only a bother in my opinion. Annoying in real life and useless in the battlefield. Yeah, I'm heartless. =P

Gantz can revive the human beings stored in his memory. Since Kishimoto is stored there (her photo is displayed), there should be no problems.

Now, one more thing. Katou says "I can finally go home now...and live my life again". Does that mean he's also free from the game? I don't think so. He spawned inside the appartment, wearing the clothes, holding the gun and still got his score. I think he'll have to keep on playing, but that one line sounds pretty weird.
