I believe that each of us has a role in life.

We all have something unique to offer.

And there's a place where we can maximize our abilities.

"A place where we can maximize our abilities..."

"Be Ready for that Job Interview!"

"l'm convinced that your company is the right place for me."

Isn't that Kato?

Hey" watch out!

The express service will not stop at this station.

The train's coming!

Get the stationmaster!

Get someone!

Here I go.

The train is coming!

Sir, are you OK?

Hey! Can you move?

Somebody" give me a hand here!

He's drunk!

Come on" wake up!

Somebody! Anybody!

Kei...

Is that you" Kei?

Help me!

Damn it.

Come on" on your feet!

Pull him up!

Kato!

Thanks...

What the...?

2 more came.

Come on...

That's Tokyo Tower.

It won't open.

There's no way out.

What's this place? A hospital?

I don't know.

Listen" back at the platform...

We got run over! You ignored me.

I didn't... l...didn't see you.

I knew you wouldn't!

Was it at grade school... We met 3 times after that.

Anyway...

Weren't we run over by that train?

We were.

But we're alive.

Just like us.

I got run over by a car.

Where are we?

Heaven! The apartment version!

That's one possibility but...

It has to be! I know I died.

What's this?

That's how you appeared.

Why is she naked...?

Take that off.

Hey.

Are you OK?

Rise and shine" It's a new morning for us

A morning of new hope

Breathe in" A chest full ofjoy

Look up at the clear, blue sky!

Listen to the radio

The summer breeze" Is so wholesome

Breathe in and exercise now

To the count of" One" two and three!

"All of youR old liVes are gone."

"l wiLl decide hOw to use youR new lives."

"ThAt's the way tHe coOkie crumBles."

What...?

"YoU will all pLease go now to fiNish off this gUy."

It says" Please.

"Onion Alien"

"He stinks and he likes onions."

What are these?

He's breathing.

He's warm.

Does that mean he's alive?

"Kurono"

It has my name on it.

You're right.

"Yamada..."

How come...? Dunno.

I'm Inamori.

Get all of them.

Cosplay...?

Is this for me?

I guess so.

Do I put it on? Dunno.

"Kishimoto"

Are you Kishimoto...?

You can put this on.

But...

Um...

Am I dead?

I don't really know.

But you're naked" so...

Will it fit?

Were they expecting me?

Is this some kind of a toy?

It's heavy for a toy.

There are no holes on the muzzle.

Oh" yeah... Don't point it this way!

It has no holes" look!

Point it away! Sorry.

Everyone!

Uh... sorry" it's nothing.

You can't stop there. Tell us.

I remember being taken to a hospital...

Then I vaguely remember being sedated.

Sedated?

Yes. I was also hit by a car.

I remember being taken to hospital" all bloody.

And I was drugged there.

That's when I started to get drowsy...

But wait a minute.

What's suspicious about that?

Sorry" you're right.

I'm beginning to see the whole picture.

It's like I thought. We're not dead.

We were taken to the hospital in a coma and drugged.

The drug is making us hallucinate.

Really?

It's like group hypnotics.

See? We're all seeing the same thing.

That must be it!

We're being forced to take part in some kind of strange experiment.

What is this thing?

I don't know.

It's a hallucination.

Kei!

"gO now pLease."

Wow...

We're outside.

We're out now.

I guess we can go home.

I've had enough.

Wait a minute.

You deserve an explanation.

This is for TV.

You're under hypnosis on TV.

See? I knew I wasn't dead!

My father is the producer of the show.

It's a project byAmerican cable TV and Yale university.

It's a virtual reality show.

Don't you knowAmerican Try Out?

lf you complete the mission" you win $100"000.

I begged Dad to put me on the show.

$100"000?

That's 10 million yen!

Kato" look over there.

Take a good look. He's our target on the mission.

Is he" really?

We have 20 minutes. First one to get him grabs the money!

I'll be damned!

I got laid off last month so...

10 million...!

Wasn't that a child?

Go see for yourself if you want to know.

Stop running!

Stop" you brat!

Come on" wait up!

Go" spread!

What's this thing?

You can have my onion. You can have it.

That's some mask.

You little prick!

Go get him!

How come there's nobody around?

Are we walking in circles?

"lchinomiya" Tama City"

We're in Tama City.

What's going on?

I'll take a look.

Now there's only us left...

Where do you live? I'll walk you home.

I'm going" too.

Surround him!

Where is he...?

There!

Where'd he go?

There he is!

He's fast!

Turn on the light.

So... can I shoot this gun now?

Take my onion.

Take my onion.

Take my onion.

Is that all?

This is real.

Hot damn!

Ouch!

Damn it!

10 million yen...

It's so realistic.

That's enough!

What are you looking at" punk!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry so let go!

Fire! Shoot the damn alien!

Call the police... The police.

I know we are going back to that apartment now...

When's the drug wear off?

Kato...?

Oh" God...

I'm OK...?

Why?

This is crazy...

Shit.

I knew it.

I'm sorry...

Using the case was creative.

It was close.

Now you know what the suit's for.

Shoot him" you deserve the points. It's on me.

Come on.

He killed everybody.

I like the look in your eye.

You disappoint me.

You won't survive the next round.

It's happening again.

We have so many survivors tonight!

Explain! This is not TV, is it?

Ask Gantz.

That's Gantz. When I came along" people had already called it so.

Hey" I thought you were dead!

Even if you're bleeding to death" you're OK as long as you're alive.

"It is tiMe foR the scores."

"0 points for Kishimoto" youR tits are too big."

What...?

"0 Points for Kato" you R too much of a chicken."

"0 points for Suzuki" yoU are so inVisible."

Invisible...

"0 points for Kurono" yoU stare at Kishimoto tOo muCh."

"5 points foR Nishi" getting 79 in toTal."

Just 5 points?

What's this about?

Gantz evaluated our mission performances.

Our mission is to kill the space invaders.

Who are you?

I'm one" too.

An alien.

Don't get serious. I'm just kidding!

You asshole! What happened to the others?

They got killed. You saw it.

See?

They're the ones who died in the Gantz missions.

Did you see the way the yakuza was blown up?

And how Mr. Hypnotism was trampled on!

He died before he knew it!

It was even more awesome the other day...

You could have helped those guys!

I know, you're one of those hypocrites.

And you're clueless.

You're taking it out on the wrong guy.

Leave Kato alone!

Will you shoot this time?

Yes" I will.

Tell us what you know.

What is this place?

Speak.

Sorry.

Maybe next time.

Was it a dream?

"Witnesses please report"

Is this about the accident we saw yesterday?

Oh" please don't remind me.

Sorry! There was no toilet paper.

Oh" gross.

"...passengers were hit by the train..."

I believe that

each of us has a role in life.

We all have something unique to offer.

And there's a place where we can maximize our abilities.

What is it that you want to do here?

Pardon?

What position?

You don't say that at ajob interview, man.

I'm doing better than Kurono.

Nobody wants to hire him? No.

He's kind of invisible" isn't he?

He's the unemployable type.

He boasts about being a soccer star.

In grade school? Come on!

He'll vanish in the real world.

That concludes the lecture today.

Don't let them bother you.

I'm kind of invisible too.

What's the best way to get noticed?

When I met my old friend at the train station...

Kei?

Was it grade school?

Kato!

I'm Kojima.

My name's Tae Kojima.

"Students' addresses"

"2" Yaguchi" Ota"

"Kei Kurono" Masaru Kato"

"Your friend forever, Kato"

Kei" you're my hero!

Don't forget I saved your ass!

Never! We're friends forever!

You're home early" Akira.

It's me" Dad.

Kei" I didn't know you were here. How are you?

I'm going now.

Did you find yourself a good job?

I'm working on it.

Don't be a slacker. Akira already has his sights on a college.

There's no house here.

"2" Yaguchi" Ota"

"lchinomiya" Tama City"

Hello.

You know who I am?

Hey!

That's the...

I had it on when I woke up.

I visited Kato at his house.

Kato...

I wanted to...

confirm with him about what happened 2 days ago.

But...

It looks like he's moved.

I only had a 10-year-old address.

I see...

We should go to the police?

They won't believe us.

I guess not.

I can walk you to the station.

I have a favor to ask you.

Sure.

Can I stay over?

Uh-huh...

Huh?

Is it OK if I sleep on the bed?

Of course.

Thank you.

I hope I won't have a backache in the morning...

I'll sleep on the floor.

No" sleep on the bed. I'm OK.

Are you sure you don't have to go back home?

My boyfriend's things are there.

Oh" you live with him?

We broke up recently. He just moved out.

Oh" really.

Then on impulse when I was in the bath...

I slit my wrist.

I didn't really mean to do it...

You committed suicide?

When I woke up" I was back at my place...

I was too scared to look in the bathroom.

I didn't want to see my body in a pool of blood...

What's that?

I borrowed it from Kato.

I have to see him.

I want to thank him for being kind.

It's his diary.

Maybe his address is in here.

"Parole officer...?"

"Masaru Kato" on parole."

Was he in juvie?

Let's stop.

I saw his address.

Now I remember.

I heard that he never went to high school.

That's nothing to do with us.

There was lots going on in his life.

His dad was a violent alcoholic.

Maybe Kato is too...

He's not the type.

How do you know?

He's the kindest person I know.

lf only I'd met him earlier...

Would you have lived?

Whatever...

I'm sorry.

I'll turn off the light.

"Masaru Kato" janitor"

Brother!

Hey" Bro.

Aren't you going to bed?

I will" soon.

Trouble sleeping again? Bad dreams?

Ayumu" off to bed.

Wake up on time if you want to eat.

Not again...

Rise and shine" It's a new morning for us

A morning of new hope

Breathe in" A chest full ofjoy

Look up at the clear, blue sky!

Listen to the radio

Is this everyone?

The summer breeze" Is so wholesome

Breathe in and exercise now

To the count of" One" two and three!

"All of youR old liVes are gone."

"l wiLl decide hOw to use youR new lives."

"ThAt's the way tHe coOkie crumBles."

"YoU will all pLease go now to fiNish off this gUy."

"Tanaka Elien" he's as bright as sunshine."

"He loves boom boxes."

You understand now?

Gantz scanned us. It knows everything about us.

There's no escape.

You'll be called back every time.

Every time...

To get ourselves almost killed?

Right.

Gantz's been recruiting people long before me.

They fought the aliens and were replaced when they died.

Many of them died.

And I survived.

You could have told us that!

lf we knew, those others might still be alive!

You understand nothing" hypocrite!

You used them as bait.

Correct answer!

I knew you and I were alike.

What?

Aliens lose focus when they are killing humans.

Isn't that a riot?

Tell us what you know!

Tell us what we should do to survive.

Don't depend on me. How about using your brain?

This suit...

Put it on. It should be of some help.

Off I go.

Good luck!

Grandma!

Do I have to do this again? How many times?

I don't know.

Put the suit on!

The attached case.

Here.

"gO now pLease."

Where are you" Grandma?

Grandma!

Ryo!

Ryo!

Grandma" where are you?

Ryo!

Ryo!

Ryo!

Grandma!

Ryo!

Grandma!

Ryo" don't worry. Grandma's with you.

You'll be alright.

Grandma will protect you.

Is that it?

Kurono...?

He's in trouble!

The suit's dead!

Help" now!

Kato?

Kato!

Oh" my God...

Can you hear me?

You'll be OK...

Get 100 points.

What will happen when I get 100 points?

With 100 points

you can resurrect me.

Kato...

You're in the way!

I can't move!

Go away!

Go away!

Me?

Hold it!
