That arc will always remain in my head for how brutally difficult it was shown to be. I don't have the best memory of how it ended but didn't we get left on a cliffhanger for it? I don't recall it ever being stated how that particular game was ended. I like to imagine the Italy aliens wiped the floor with everyone and went back to chilling without being bothered again.

The Italy aliens were legit stronger then the aliens that invaded during katastrophe

u/Chris__Johnson 4d ago
The invaders were a not thought out plot with lots of inconsistencies.
Remember the rescue team fought some aliens in some kind of TV show(those at least had the power of the Oni Boss), the invaders spawned aliens to destroy the yakuza hideout(people clearing Gantz at least 7 times)
The invaders were defeated offscreen with a bogus match between Kei and their hero.
My hope for Gantz E is that the Vampireplot and the Italyplot don't get dropped.

Oku read the negative feedback(they didn't want another 3 year mission) on twitter and other messageboards and axed the arc.
It's suggested Kei killed the boss then Gantz glitched. It was never resolved

Fuck no, at best I’d be the sniper guy from the temple mission so I can just try and pick off the fodder and annoy the boss from a far

Seriously. You only get points by contributing and you only gain your freedom by saving up a LOT of points. Even if you pick off a few smallfries, you'll definitely die before you get out.
I only hope my death is fast.

u/Secure-Wolverine7502 13d ago
True, if I have to die all I ask it that they do it instantaneously so I’m outta this hell, but then watch one of my teammates bring me back with their 100 points talkin bout some “we are both gonna make it out together!” Like bruhhhh I stg next mission im offing myself cause hell no💀💀💀

u/The_Tom_Strokes 13d ago
I'd try, but ultimately even the most veteran players die to unknowns pretty often. We're all dead by at least mission 3 and that's with some real luck.

Comes down to how easy they start you out >10 points. Maybe if I figure out what's going on, 10< I'm probably dead spawning in.

Depends how hard it gets. As long as I can go invisible and have the katana and x rifle I should be good. Keep a y gun with me if things get crazy. Eventually get the H gun and the big suit

u/Wolf_737 13d ago
The difficulty spikes would get me killed for sure, when one of those comes, someone gets killed to show the others how screwed they are, that would be me.

u/NowIssaRapBattle 13d ago
If I figure that suit out, and get 2+ solid homies, we'd clear 100 points at least once. Bullshit like Nurarihyon or the body stealing liquid aliens could one hit kill you though suit or not.

I remember the guy who has swallowed metamorph alien and just got pooped inside by bug form of aliens.

Life isn't fair i say, imagine you've got a super suit and still get instantly popped

Im going to be so so so generous with myself and say that if I went into Gantz with the knowledge of having actually read Gantz I would survive Onion and would 50/50 maybe survive Tanaka.
Those two are the only missions in the series where the challenge is more the learning curve than the alien.
I'm absolutely dead by Buddha when the difficulty spike starts ramping If I don't know what Gantz is and cold wake up in the room I might not make it out of Onion.

u/tranlong01 12d ago edited 12d ago
Gantz will throw at you boss lv monster at you in the second round. At best you only get the pistol in the second round.

Would I be the main character and the game would give me plot armour? If so, then yes. If not, I'm definitely ending up as cannon fodder.

id die in like 3-4 missions but sure why not i love the craziness in the missions

u/CypherPunk77 13d ago
I have good will power so I’d survive for sure as long as my suit intact. No suit and I’d be screwed unless I get stupid lucky

u/ComprehensiveWork332 12d ago
I always judge the characters that don’t put the suits on, but genuinely not sure if I’d put it on and end up getting wrecked haha
Maybe with the suit I’d kill some grunts lol

u/Great_Signature2599 13d ago
Thats depends on the mision, some mision are very dificult and unfair. I Will Lost again the alien that kill kato but i feel like i can kill the dinosaurs, the tiny alien, the big crow.
Also that depends on the starting point, if mi first mision is Osaka i am complete fuck. But if mi first mision let me get expirence. I can survive.
Let's face it, many characters die because they are idiots.

Survival in Gantz isn’t just about strength, it’s about adaptability and willpower, most people don’t have both. I guess it depends… do I get Katou level heart or Nishi level ruthlessness? Either way, even if you clear one mission, the next one will break you. In the end, no one truly survives Gantz...

Who knows, life-threatening situations are different for each individual, and not everybody reacts the same as the personality is.

Pretty sure I'd make the same mistake as a lot of newcomers, which is fucking off without putting the armor on, so... No.

u/Massive-Dust1666 12d ago
No way I would survive. I am really clumsy I would die because of it besides it becomes too difficult mid mission

u/randomnomber2 12d ago
If I could get that first 100 points I'd clone myself and build an army. Imagine if you could snowball into like 50 Kurono's per mission. We could even pool our resources IRL to rent a Gantz house, kind of like in Fight Club.

u/No_Lawfulness_976 12d ago
I have no idea what the series is about and keep procrastinate on reading/watching it. So I assume I would just die.

u/SkibidiEater900 12d ago
People die irl and teleport to small room where there is black sphere Gantz that commands to those people who’ve died go on mission and kill targets (aliens). People get black suit that protects them from damage (it has condition). After some dude kills aliens gets points for them. For 100 points you can get stronger weapon, revive someone who had died during missions or you can free yourself from Gantz.

Really depends what we get as the first mission.. But the best strategy would def be using the invisibility+sniper combo. I'm Italian so if my first mission is THAT Italian mission I'm cooked 😭🙏

u/CappedLid 6d ago
Lowkey with the knowledge I have, I’d say I would make it pretty far. (Pretty far = Buddha Mission😄)
Now, if I came later (Dinosaur Mission) I’m pretty sure I would die in the Osaka Mission (I’m not dying in the Oni-Alien Mission. Simply because I want to see Kei lock the fuck in first hand). However If I stay out of the way and pick off weaker Aliens while the others beat the final boss then I might be fine.
(I would also tell everyone to start jumping a lot more instead of standing around.)

Old characters managed to survive for quite a while. An elite track runner with a background in jiu-jitsu like me will definitely survive.

Some of the missions are so fucking unfair and the CRAZY difficulty spikes don't allow for any mistakes
"Heh, I got a hang of this now! I'm ready to save everyone!"
*Gets cut into one hundred fleshy pieces by a 50 ton statue/dinosaur/spirit that you have never seen before, also the statue moves at the speed of light.*
*You farted in the prep room, and didn't make any friends. So nobody will revive you, ever. Get fucked.*
