[Manga] Why was he so confident and unbothered even after having his arms cut off? They express 0 urgency

I think they’re high?
Also like a crass example of scary gross people not worried about anything in the face of impending doom. It’s caught somewhere between comical relief and horrifyingly accurate portrayal of the common human condition; which I would go so far to say the whole of this manga is that.

They were high AF and probably went through similar outcome…. But this time they died.

They were high, saw things that were very much similair or worse, and these guys have played and survived the games before, when you come back you come back with all of your limbs intact. So long as you aren’t dead.

lol I think the one smashing the alien survived till the end of the series I believe. Think his name was Kuwabara

Probably he knew that his arms regrow after the mission so he isnt worried about that

My favorite thing about GANTZ teams is that there are some so detached and desensitized to the violence. “Who cares, it’s a points game” type shit. I love the genuine “fuck off” nature of Gantz.

Honestly I watched alot of liveleak videos and a big number of them happen like this, their idiocy/confusion hinders the fight or flight mode, and they just stand around until the train/elephant/truck/rock.. kills them too
To me this seems like the most accurate portrayal of real life

Why do the suits sometimes seem to be doing jackshit? Nishi didn't receive a scratch after being thrown off a building, being shot with the x-ran, which explodes your face, destroys the suit, but leaves you uninjured for that attack. And the suit can also prevent injuries from getting shot in the head at gunpoint.
But here, the alien just instantly slices them apart, as if the suits are just some cloth

The suit is weak towards sharp objects. Buddha was able to cut through the suits using its swords. It seems punches, slams, blunt force don't do much damage depending on the hit and how repetitive the hit lands.

I mean, that’s pretty much how Kevlar works right? Blunt force gets dissipated over a large area, but puncturing or slicing is very much a go. To resist slicing, you’d need something hard akin to a plate armor.

u/zPipboy 12d ago
Yes you're right and that very well could be the basis of the idea of how the suit works.
What throws me off is when someone is only wearing half the suit and how they don't get hurt in the non covered area (looking at you Kuwabara 🤣)

Alien tech. If the suit only works on covered areas all Gantz players would be dead from their heads exploding

Because he was drugged out of his mind? Team Osaka had been winning so hard that by the time they were in for a real fight they had no mental capacity to deal with it

One of my favorite characters, he even gives 0 fk at the face of death and literally fucks the boss that mission, loses both his legs and survives.

u/waterly_favor 11d ago
Interesting. Whoa he fucking in this scene?

u/cerinza 11d ago
Its crazy, the 100-point Nurarihyon, I think it might be chapters 263-265. Even Kato was stunned by the insanity of that man

u/Faukez 10d ago
Was that really the 100-pointer? I thought it was a random alien.

u/cerinza 10d ago
No the one he is fucking at OPs picture is a rando alien. What I meant was Kuwabara is such a super perv later in that arc, the boss (who is a shapeshifter) is also fucked by the him literally. Loses both his legs in the process, and even survives that mission.
Some may say he is also in the chapters near the end doing the same thing, but its a bit debatable if that is really him.

Yeah the aliens in this arc were based on Yokai. This ( far as what was shown) is his second victim.
