My prediction for the next chapter, tge chick that confessed her love was the sniper, so the 100 pointer adapts to a sniper like skill and kills her.

Deux Ex Machina?

It´s not like the Vampire was in good terms with the demons since he was stabbed in the back by them, and there´s no turning back for him, he either kills the demons or dies himself.

It´s a pretty normal development if you ask me.

Deus Ex Machina????

Such connotation in this instance couldn't be more out of place..........

[spoiler]- In fact, throughout the entire battle(s) with Nurari I had been left wondering what the Metro-sexual Vamp was up to throughout all of this. Anticipating all the while that it was only a matter of time till he made some sort of grand entrance into the fray.

Considering that before the Osaka arc much of the preceeding chapters leading up to the current mission had focused on the Vamp character. And the ironic nature in which he found himself a member of Team Tokyo while in the process of assassinating its percieved leader Kei, of all things, should have foreshadowed his character having an important role for what was to come in the following storyline.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] "Seriously? The vampire dude saves the day?"

- What is so perplexing about this? His motivation?

Early on he was told he gave off the same signal as the rest of the humans, and was now considered their prey along with the rest.

Obviously you missed the part where after going after and killing other Gantz members, he was attacked and maimed (along with his GF) himself by the Demons he was fighting with.

After killing off the male and female Demons, and asking the Gantz team if he would get his thumb back upon completing the current mission, it should have been clear as day that he had come to terms with his situation and predicament.

So unless you're suggesting he should enjoy being without an appendage, being hunted as prey by other demons, watching his GF bleed to death, having a bomb inside his head that prevents him from traveling outside his current location, etc...etc....

I would argue that his motivation for finishing off Nurari to be well justified.[/spoiler]

Yeah, in retrospect Deus Ex Machina was not the right word to use. On another note, I really hope that Nurarihiyon is dead now.

The author's girlfriend probably died too so hes been traumatised ever since. Im not complaining though, its a good thing :) (jk), Kurono's love was just one of the worst thing that happened to this manga.

Thats the second bitch that died for this guy! Damn Katou must have some sort of manly-musk permeating throughout his being if it causes broads to throw themselves in the line of fire for his sake.... must be that slicked back hair. BOD-man fa sale

That was a cool chapter, very dramatic, even if a little predictable. Best of all, it seems to suggest that Nurari has finally been slain, heh.

So i was re-reading Gantz and i remembered that i wanted to to post this the first time i saw but completely forgot about it.

Had a nice Berserk flashback when i saw this one, concerning the art and visual gratification of this art (FUCK ton of 2 pages drawings), this is the best Gantz has offered by far.

Well, since the vampire dude technically killed Nurari, would he even resurrect Kurono?

He'll probably revive the girl that was with him. Although he tries not to show it, i think he holds some affection for her. Unless that bastard monster is still alive somehow.

Cool ending, i always loved sniping, got really sad when the sniper dude died at the temple arc. i don't think korono will come back anytime soon, almost sure cherry will resurrect master anyway if he has the points, i think vampire will choose to be free, since no one he cares for is dead but hay what do i know :D
Next chapter should be cool

They know or would find out sooner or later. Makes for good drama........

Anyway....It was mentioned that both he and his girl gave off a scent akin to a Gantz member.
