Part one - review

kei kurono was a regular college kid.

Masaru kato worked to support his kid brother.

The childhood friends met up by chance

and

died.

They find themselves in

an apartment with a black orb called gantz.

When gantz assigns a mission there's no escape.

“...finish off this guy."

Fight the aliens living among us.

Nobody can decline the order.

They are sent to a strange town

and take part in a senseless fight

which they manage to win.

On their return to the apartment

gantz gives them a score.

They earn points from each mission.

100 points will set them free.

Or they can resurrect a dead alien hunter.

Gantz might summon them any time

from the normal lives they've returned to.

Kei begins to love combat

while kato refuses to fight.

As the deadly games continue

the gantz members die one by one.

Eventually

kato dies in combat with powerful aliens.

His death devastates kei.

But with tae's love, he recovers.

Kei vows to earn 100 points and resurrect kato

so he keeps fighting the endless battles.

Let's go.

Hi, this is your manager.

We'll start an hour later tomorrow.

I 'ii pick you up at 8 am.

1 hour later. Don't forget that.

Message recorded at 10:29 pm.

End of messages.

"You did well iast night"

“thank you for the lst key"

"the room can be accessed with 4 keys."

"And this is the 2nd key"

"Yamamoto"

"she's clever and she loves clever boys"

5 months earlier

Sorry.

I like you.

I really care about you, kurono.

"File#1-378930-s, supplement“

"buildings collapse!"

"Acts of terrorism?"

"Woman vanishes"

"more missing persons are found alive."

"More on the disappearance of the subway train casualties."

"He's alive."

5 months have passed since national museum was destroyed

by mysterious means.

The police suggest terrorism...

- The burger? - Ready.

- Tomato please. - Thanks.

Hi, kei.

- Homework...? - Done.

Not yet!

Your comic is more fun!

Is this hero really you, kei?

He coaxed that out of me.

Don't be embarrassed.

It's good! Put it in a competition!

Not yet. I've got more to learn.

It is good enough!

There are better artists out there.

You'll be fine!

I wish my brother could read it.

When is he coming back?

He'll be back soon... I guess.

Is he away on business?

That's right.

No whistling at night!

Where did ayumu's brother really go?

I can't say.

Ayumu told me that his brother has disappeared before.

That was when he was arrested...

Kato's not that type!

Here.

For this month.

You don't have to.

Why should you pay the rent on this place?

But if you can visit ayumu sometimes...

Of course! Otherwise he'd never do his homework!

And he's a good cook.

I guess that's a bonus.

Besides if I come here

I can see you, kurono.

Don't go silent on me!

I was just practicing dialogue for my romance comic!

I have to go now.

But you said you didn't have to...

I got a call! Can you stay over, Ms. Kojima?

But, wait...

Huh?

The local service train is arriving at platform #1.

For your safety, stay behind the yellow line.

So, you were chosen too.

Since you're new, you can just watch us fight.

Kobayashi did that last time.

"I wili decide how you use your new lives."

Sorry if I scared you.

I have some questions if you don't mind.

You suddenly cancelled all your work.

There are rumours that you're sick, married or pregnant...

But I've come to know the truth.

Are you from the press?

It fell into place when I was investigating some mysteries.

Missing accident casualties would turn up the next day

and just go back to their lives.

Except that during the night

some place was destroyed in Tokyo.

Sound familiar?

No.

How about...

The rumour?

The black orb

and the apartment it's in.

You know something.

That's four. So you get to ask 4 questions.

What's your objective?

What are you looking for?

A black ball this big.

A black ball?

With it I can find the roach nest.

You mean the black orb room?

How did you learn about that?

I ask the questions.

Where is the room?

Not in this dimension.

What do you mean?

You can't just go there.

Who are you people?

That's the 5th question.

What's this to you?

The 6th.

What do you want?

You want to know?

Check this guy out for me then.

Why don't you go out with him?

With kei, I mean.

Focus, please.

Aren't you two going steady?

No, we are not.

Why not? You told him you liked him!

Until your brother comes home

kurono can't really think of other things...

But it's ok.

When things are normal, I'll tell him again.

Really!

Now, back to your homework.

“Kurono total of 94 points"

"6 more to go"

you're almost there.

What's this place? Somebody tell me what's going on.

Calm down and listen.

Who are you people anyway?

Us? Well...

I was an office employee.

I was in stationery and never took a day off in 20 years.

But then I was laid off.

I'm a caregiver for the elderly.

That's her day job.

She's a bar hostess at night.

Some guys like older women... Can you believe it?

This leech lives off me.

I'm a part-timer

at a curry joint.

It's a chain restaurant but the curry's good.

I'm a system engineer at a company called orientnet.

If you need me, just call.

And you are?

I'm a hairdresser.

Kurono, are you really just a university student?

You fight like you know what you're doing.

She's right.

Why are you so strong?

There's somebody I want to resurrect.

Gantz.

He used to be with us.

We fought together.

Kurono wants to bring him back to life.

He's not the only one.

But all of those who died fighting.

I want all of us to be released and free.

"Nakamura he's loud and he likes to jog"

"thank you for the 3rd key"

“One more and you'll be home free"

“This is the last key"

"Tae kojima"

"she's weak and she loves kurono"

Were you on time the other day?

For what?

Your job.

My job?

Oh, yes, I made it.

Must be hard.

Yeah. This oldish guy, suzuki, called in sick.

Without him everything falls apart, so I was called in..

What's wrong?

Did something good happen to you?

I knew it!

Can you tell?

What is it?

I was going to tell to ayumu too.

Kato will be coming back soon.

Have you two been in touch?

Well, kato told me not to tell anyone.

Oh, really.

More importantly...

I also want to inform you...

Inform is not the word, I guess.

How about a date?

To an amusement park, just us two.

If this is because I told you I liked you...

It's just...

That I got carried away.

So forget it.

How can I forget? We should definitely go.

No, no! It's out of the question!

First of all, I'm scared of heights.

So Ferris wheels and roller coasters are out.

You were drawing an amusement park in your sketchpad.

You should see the real thing. It'll be good research.

On one condition.

Yes?

I want us to be on first-name terms.

Starting from now.

Please?

But, uh...

The timing has to be right...

I'll start the next time we meet, 0k?

When we go to the amusement park, for sure.

It's a promise.

See you!

Hello, kei.

How did you... get resurrected?

When and how did gantz...?

Don't you remember anything?

How many of you are there?

There are 8 of us, including me.

We have 3 new ones recently.

I want to end gantz.

How?

Do you know anything

about a black ball this big?

No.

I'll be back.

If you know anything, let me know.

Show me the deceased.

What's wrong?

Kato came back to life.

What? How?

I don't know...

But, see, he's still here.

What's this supposed to mean?

"Kato"

yes...?

Hey, bro.

Excuse me...

I'm tae kojima, I'm at college with kurono.

Ayumu, come here.

Ayumu?

You just left! Where have you been?

On a business trip, right?

I'm not asking you.

I was working.

Really?

Should I go?

You must have catching up to do.

I'm leaving.

I'm happy for you, ayumu.

“Welcome home, bro"

I learned to bake while you were gone.

Try it and see how bad it tastes.

This is kojima.

I mean, this is tae.

Ayumu's brother just arrived back home.

I had this idea...

Why don't we all go to the amusement park?

Oh, but then it wouldn't be like a date!

I want to see you.

Can I come to your work?

"Tae kojima she's weak and she loves kurono"

Eriko ayukawa is on the move.

She's heading for senzoku station.

Rise and shine, it's a new morning for us

a morning of new hope

it keeps going and never ends.

I quit smoking when my wife had a baby.

I want to get out of here soon and go back to them.

What's wrong?

"I wili decide how to use your new lives."

“You will all please go now to finish off this guy."

"Men in biack alien"

"he looks ordinary, loves the black ball"

“Loves the black ball"

Let's go.

"Go now please."

Where are we?

It's a train...

This feels weird.

Didn't we meet a long time ago...?

It's moving.

It's a subway.

A subway train?

Stay alert, everybody.

The train leaves now.

Restrain yourself from jumping onto the train.

Why are there people?

It was never like this before.

There are roaches in the first car.

It's eriko ayukawa.

Wow, a star on a train!

Hello, we're not here with bad intentions.

We won't harm you...

Is this like a show?

Kurono!

We'll hurt the passengers!

Did I hear screams?

And popping.

What's going on?

This is not good.

Takahashn

You guys are incredible!

I was right.

I remember...

I remember this.

I remember now. I've done this before.

I was in that room with Nakamura and kobayashi.

Freeze!

Kei kurono...

Kurono?

Run.

Wait...

Sorry.

You're heavy... move over.

I'm your shield.

She's hard to eliminate!

This is revenge.

This is revenge.

You started this first.

You killed many of my friends.

We will never...

Forgive you.

Is everybody here?

The old girl isn't here.

"It is time for the scores."

Hey, wait a minute...

"Takahashi, you dig the old girl, don't you?"

That's not funny!

She's not here!

The old girl's gone!

She's gone!

She's not back!

Over here.

Conscious, no wounds, possible hypothermia.

Right.

Everything will be fine.

"Thank you for the ist key."

"Kobayashi"

"The 2nd key"

"Yamamoto"

"thank you"

so you know...

About the black orb and that apartment.

The black orb...

The apartment...

Gantz!

"I wili decide how to use your new lives."

"That's the way the cookie crumbles."

I want revenge.

You and your friends...

Killed my people.

“Sakurai, 0 points“

She's alive!

It's her, right?

Oh, my god...

Ayukawa!

Eriko ayukawa.

I knew you'd come.

You figured right.

"We shaii resume."

Watch out, guys.

This woman...

She killed me.

Long time, kobayashi.

Don't you remember us?

And the room?

You don't remember me?

"Kobayashi, serious amnesia"

2 years ago

I fought to protect you.

"Nakamura, you were tougher then"

Yamamoto, ayukawa...

And the two of us.

We were in the back alleys of shibuya 2 years ago

fighting the men in black aliens.

“Yamamoto, 11 points, always a good student"

we gained enough points to leave gantz.

Our memories were erased

and we were set free.

0h... right.

That means we'll really be set free!

"Suzuki, 17 points, total of 101“

100 points...

"100-point menu"

"1.wipe your memory and be released. 2.Resurrect any player you like.“

reporting status from hq to agents.

84 casualties, 260 injured in subway blitz.

Train disabled 1 mile south of the station.

Unconfirmed report of armed assassins are nowhere to be found.

You can get released!

You're a free man now, suzuki.

I'll choose option 2.

"2. Resurrect any player you iike."

I'm sorry but...

Let me bring back kato first.

But he's already...

Hey, that's the man who killed me.

He said he was avenging his people.

Then he shot me.

That's what the alien said!

So this kato is actually...

We can find that out.

Gantz, resurrect Masaru kato please.

Is that all?

Kei...

The Buddha alien...

Kato!

Pull yourself together!

Hey, gantz, hurry up!

Kato, don't die on me!

I'll wait for you!

I'll be waiting!

Kei...

The Buddha alien...

What's going on?

I was dead...

Was I?

I'm alive again...

I can go home alive...

Mr. Suzuki helped you.

I decided if I ever scored 100

I'd bring back kato first.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Now we know one thing for sure.

The other one's an alien.

Everybody.

You'll get revenge now.

I've got the key to the gantz room.

"Kurono, 21 points, total of 115"

it's over 100!

Gantz, I want option 2.

"2. Resurrect any player you iike."

I'll show you who I want back...

What the...?

I brought you back to life.

You mean I was dead?

That's lame!

We need you now.

Maybe you can explain why gantz is acting up.

You guys...

Long time.

You won't quit, will you?

Why are you guys here?

Gantz called us back.

It used a black ball to trick me into

getting back the players who'd left.

That's not all.

We had civilian casualties for the first time on our last mission.

What do you think is going on?

How long have I been dead?

5 months.

It used a ball to recruit...

What is it?

Come on.

Its batteries are low.

Is gantz battery-powered?

My theory is

as you can see

gantz is powered by his life energy.

When baldy expires, so does gantz.

What will happen to us when gantz dies?

It's obvious, isn't it?

We'll disintegrate.

We live because gantz allows us to.

So we will end with gantz.

Wait a minute!

Time is running out for gantz.

So maybe it's trying to quickly wipe out the aliens.

Maybe that's why it called us back.

I see. It's not just a reunion.

Or maybe...

There's an even more evil alien boss.

Wait.

Would that be...?

I met an alien who looked just like you.

That's the one who killed me.

The Buddha...

Here we go.

Rise and shine, it's a new morning for us

a morning of new hope

breathe in, a chest full of joy

we just came back!

Listen to the radio

the summer breeze, is so wholesome

breathe in and exercise now

to the count of, one, two and three!

"Special mission"

"please go and finish off this one.“

"Tae kojima"

"she's weak and she loves kurono"

what the hell?

It's just a girl.

Hey, look...

It says, she loves...

Hey, what's going on here?

Why is she a target?

Let's get the kato imposter!

"100 points for killing her"

"those who fail lose all their points."

But this girl...

Tae kojima is not an alien.

So please.

Don't kill her.

Please...

She looks human but maybe she's really an alien.

The black ball told me to get

this girl.

Perhaps she's a gantz veteran like us...

I've never seen her before.

Then she must be an alien.

Wait...

Who has the ball now?

The man who killed me...

Oh, so the kato alien has it?

That's bad.

If kato alien killed tae kojima first...

He'll be transferred here.

Oh, no!

Gantz wants us to stop that.

If that's gantz's order, so be it.

If killing this one girl gets me 100 points...

I'll kill tae kojima.

Gantz.

Get me out first.

Kei.

I'll go to tae. You should go to ayumu.

Yes. Thank you.

Be careful.

Wait.

You want to protect this girl?

I want to bring back my woman.

I need the 100 points!

Don't do it!

Beam me out now.

Gantz!

It's my apartment...?

I'll explain everything later.

Just come with me now.

What happened on the subway?

I don't understand anything.

But I believe in you.

I trust you, kurono.

This way!

That's ayumu's...

It's not!

Code 3. Car 12 to hq, in pursuit of the subject.

Subject is headed north.

He's armed and he's after a man.

Stop them before more people die!

Car 12, copy that.

There she is.

Kurono.

Let's not do this.

But if gantz dies, we will too.

It's insane to kill each other!

But you don't mind killing scores of aliens!

Mr. Suzuki.

If gantz is to end, I want 100 points

before that happens.

Good plan.

Kurono.

Get out of here.

Don't! I'll shoot.

You won't be able to shoot.

Suzukfl

oh, me too?

They're shooting at us!

Go! I'll hold them back.

But sakurai...!

It's pointless to kill me!

Go on!

I'll catch up later!

Thank you.

You should shoot to kill.

Come on.

"Kato"

ayumu!

"Welcome back, bro"

Ayumu.

Ayumu...

Car 12 to hq.

Subject continues to travel north. I'm in pursuit.

It's me, kei!

Is that the imposter?

Mr. Suzuki, take her as far away as you can.

Now.

No! I'm staying with you, kurono...

Tae.

I'll come back for you, I promise.

Let's go.

And we'll go to...

The amusement park.

This way!

Don't get in my way.

You here for revenge?

Why did you...

Kill ayumu?

Why did you kill your father?

You killed ayumu!

You killed your father in cold blood

but you're upset that I killed your brother.

You killed your father out of rage.

I had to save my brother!

You had to.

That's your usual excuse.

You always use that excuse

to hide behind.

Kato!

Kei...

Please tell me.

Why is kurono doing this?

It's not easy to explain but...

He's fighting.

He's protecting you.

He's fighting for me?

He might die by doing so.

I'm sorry...

My wife's dead...

I want her back.

I have to earn the points before gantz dies.

Go on, run.

So I won't have to shoot you.

I guarantee kurono will come back for you.

It didn't even sting.

I found her!

Get out of the way!

I quit.

Let's stop.

Yes, let's stop this.

Why did you shoot?

Because...

He shot at me!

Hq to car 12.

Stand by for the special assault team to arrive.

I'll tell you why I killed your brother.

It was revenge.

I did what you did to us.

So you can understand our hatred and sorrow.

You don't fight for anybody.

You're not protecting anyone.

You're just puppets controlled by a black orb.

Gotcha.

Damn...

Kato.

Kurono!

Kurono!

I got her!

Kurono.

Tae.

Let's go home.

You can't, ok?

Kei.

Kei.

Is it so I won't quit?

Is that what you want?

That's why you put us on tae.

So we would fight!

Can you get in the room with it?

Give me the ball.

"Mission accomplished"

"-Nish -nish -nish -nish"

"Finish off the right here alien. He is a look-alike."

He's right here...

It's not him.

Who was killed by the alien and shouldn't be here...?

I've got the coordinates.

You're the ones who chose to fight.

"Now"

Let me think, gantz.

"Choose"

Kei.

The aliens...?

I think some of them survived.

Thank god.

What?

That's because I have to earn more points.

Why do humans fight?

Why do you want to fight?

For those we care about.

When will you stop?

When...

I resurrect my wife!

Stop this.

I have to live.

I owe it to the people.

Isn't that so...

Gantz...?

Stop it!

Shoot me.

You can never stop fighting.

Shoot me!

This has to stop.

This is horrible...

We have to stop.

There must be...

A better way than this.

Kei.

"It is time for the scores."

"Kurono, a perfect score"

"choose one option from the perfect score menu."

"Perfect score menu &$%k%ly forever ♪@♪♪&$$..."

"Forever"

"forever"

what are the options?

What's going on?

Gantz...

Is it going to end...?

That means...

Nobody will be resurrected.

That's it for us, too...

No.

We still have an option.

Kei.

Gantz.

You know what I want.

"Thank you, kei kurono"

Kei, what have you done?

I'll end all this.

Nobody will ever be called here again.

Don't mess around!

What have you done?

Kato.

Thank you for remembering

how I helped you when we were kids.

I was happy that you remembered.

But now

I want you to forget it.

No! I won't forget about it!

Kato.

Have a nice life with ayumu.

You're coming with me! Come with me!

Kei!

Come again.

You want anything?

Can you get a map?

- I'll take that. - Thank you.

They don't have maps.

I'm sure they do.

“Eriko ayukawa returns to showbiz"

it's confirmed that the people on your list are alive.

You need a vacation.

I'll follow this up.

But I saw them...

I saw them myself.

And the orb room...

I almost made it...

They should have it.

Don't give this information to anyone else.

I now know why the bosses tried to hide this case.

What?

The bullet passed through my body hasn't been found yet.

More importantly, that fact hasn't been mentioned in the report from crime lab.

That's because the head office is...

The subway incident as well, the suspect's body hasn't been found.

Why don't we go public with the fact?

The head office is looking into the possibility of the special gun.

The suspect of the subway incident has got away via

the maintenance access is their guess in the investigation.

A room with a black ball?

You believe the rumour too?

It's not a rumour.

I don't know which country the pressure is coming

from but the bosses are aware and hiding about it.

Which boss are you talking about?

Above.

Have some rest.

I'll continue the investigation.

Then I'm coming too this time.

I have confiscated all information.

Yes, he knew about the room with the black ball.

Yes, I will detain him.

I think we can make a case with an illegal investigation.

Get up, breakfast is ready.

Come on, fold this up.

It feels like we haven't met for so long...

That's weird.

I think I always wanted to be like this.

Listen, I...

I'll never go away.

Ok, you should go to work though.

Who gave me this ticket...?

"Draw the Ferris wheel on this page."

"Tae

"I love you"

"kei kurono"

kei... kurono.

Excuse me.

I got it right.

You helped me that time.

What is it?

Here, remember thank you very much indeed.

Please thank your friend too.

My friend?

You were together with him?

Anyway, thank you very much.

So long.

Kei
