Gantz Manga
The ending of Gantz will be recapped below. This article is intended for people who have finished reading and want more insight into the ending of this manga. Gantz is a popular manga that has been in print since The creators of the series released the final issue in August , and fans were anything but satisfied with the ending.
Gantz was not afraid to push boundaries, offering an entertaining mixture of gore, sex, and philosophy between the front and back covers of each issue.
It got to the core of what mankind is capable of, sometimes depicting characters going above and beyond for others, but more often showing the selfishness that is our desire to live. This series really made one think, questioning religion, mortality, and even what the human soul is. And despite these heavy themes, the series maintained a well-paced story studded with action at every turn and a plethora of characters that you began to really root for. The creators of Gantz were also bold in their willingness to kill off characters, doing this at the moment you least expected it, and to those who seemed the most untouchable—even the main character was killed off at one point technically.
Almost every time a new group of characters came together in a well-formed, cohesive team, the authors of the series would slaughter them.
As the story progressed over the years, the plot lines became more and more complicated until the story stopped making sense in certain places. A great example was when vampires showed up, meddled in the affairs of the main characters, and then disappeared, never to be mentioned again. Although these holes in the plot existed, it did not detract much from the quality of the overall story.
The final story arc is where Gantz started to lose quality, but not everything was a train wreck. Suddenly, the dynamic of being sent on missions stops, and the world is invaded by aliens. The creation of the Gantz suits earlier in the series was in anticipation of this invasion: they would give humanity a fighting chance against an extraterrestrial enemy with advanced technology.
So, although this completely changed the flow of the story, I feel it had to happen eventually to reach a real conclusion. Taking into account the earlier creation of the Gantz suits, a huge alien invasion to end the series, in theory, works. Another aspect of the finale that worked very well was the brutality of the aliens inside the spaceship.
Although all military units were sent down to conquer Earth, the interior of the spaceship was an entire city of aliens just living their lives. As we continue to the part of story where Kurono takes an alien woman hostage in order to get around safely, we find these aliens are exactly like us, and have the same sort of mentality: they, too, have problems, and are too absorbed with their own self-preservation to care about what they consider lower lifeforms.
To them, humans are just another food source, as cattle are to us. If the roles were reversed, humans would have done the exact same thing. This fits well with the entire theme of the manga. Finally, Kurono's quest to save Tae-chan was the climax of Kurono's character arc.
At the beginning of Gantz , Kurono was a total pessimist who would never risk his neck for someone else. As time went on, though, he became his old self, which his friend Kato always looked up to: the man that would save everyone and defy the odds, always succeeding in his task.
At first, it seemed he would stay this way until the end, but then the invasion happened. He lost Tae-chan and was suddenly bombarded by people pleading for his help. He quickly cracked under the stress, and, having an epiphany, he realized that it was impossible for him to save everyone.
In fact, he didn't even want to save everyone. To him, there was only Tae-chan. As a result, he dropped his hero facade and was finally aiming for what he wanted: the woman he loved.
To some, this sounds like a terrible character trait, but it is a realistic one. Kurono constantly lost companions throughout the series, some of which were love interests. These people slipped through his fingers, and he would convince himself that it was entirely his fault, such as when Kato and the rest of the team dies at the Buddhist temple.
But, now, he refuses to let this happen. He resolves to no longer carry the burden. At the end of Gantz , Kurono is aiming to save the women he loves. It is only right before the final fight, when he says he cares about nothing in the world and only wishes that Tae-chan would come back, that he does.
The invasion made sense, but I feel that the execution was way off and could have been done better. First, all the aliens they had fought up until that point suddenly became pointless.
Readers were left to assume that they were all just immigrants trying to make a home on Earth, and had no connection to the final invasion. Now, it was a single race of aliens that had set their sights on Earth for its resources, instead of a hodgepodge of races like those the Gantz team had faced in earlier issues.
This is just one of many major plot holes this finale created, ruining the continuity of the rest of the series. Another narrative misstep was when the humans find The Room of Truth. This room was a source of seemingly endless knowledge where they could receive a truthful answer to any question. This is where religion comes into play in the story. In The Room of Truth, they are told there is no God, only data, and what we think of as the human soul is nothing but data floating in the air.
It is not the ideas presented here that I take issue with, it is how the ideas were presented. Suddenly, the humans find a place that can give them the answer to every question they've ever had. To me, it seemed like with this incredibly lazy writing, the author had written himself into a corner.
Which brings me to one of the major complaints I have about the Gantz finale: the pacing. The ending was obviously rushed. The last few chapters are proof of this, because, not only does this series end with no afterword or, "Where are they now?
The final battle felt almost entirely pointless and was filled to the brim with practically reused panels. And when the battle is finally complete, they quickly escape the ship, get back to earth, get the girls, and, suddenly, Gantz is over.
This is a slap in the face to fans of the series. Besides its rushed nature, it gives barely any resolution to Kurono and Kato's relationship and gives none at all to the rest of the major supporting characters.
It also goes against the entire message of the rest of the manga: Gantz always had an underlying sense of hopelessness, being filled with tragedy. The series made you think and reflect on the harsher aspects of life, but oddly, the ending is all lollipops and rainbows.
You may be thinking, "But what about all the people who did die? To the person who died, it would be as if nothing ever happened. The ending was pure disappointment. It did not do the series justice, and what was otherwise an almost perfect manga will now be forever marred by its atrocious end. Overall, I'd still give this series a nine out of 10, but it sadly only misses the 10 mark because of the way it ended.
Unfortunately for Gantz , it won't sit alongside other series I've given perfect 10s, such as:. I wrote this in the heat of reading the final chapter and taking a few moments to think it over, but I still feel these are all valid points. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this ending, especially if you can poke holes in any of the points I've highlighted here. I hope the author of Gantz , Hiroya Oku, releases some sort of bonus chapters in the coming months, so that we may receive the resolution we deserve after this year-long ride.
Just watched the video review of Gantz on YT, and it mentioned a huge backlash in Japanese media cause of this ending. Thats how i ended up here, thanks for a simple revision.
I read and watched Gantz years ago, and it was a good refresher. I take it that it as at least and forgettable and disappointing as you say in this post.
Now, debating with myself if I should read it again. I'm gonna be honest and say i liked the anime a lot more than the manga. After the Buddhist temple arc it rapidly went downhill with the alien reveal to the general population with the school attack and Kei becoming pussy whipped for Tae felt out of place especially when not long ago he was head over heels for Angelina Jolie and he seemed to get over it rather quickly.
Where the anime deviated from that into a more psychological horror aspect which is where it should have stayed and is where i have to give credit to the anime studio that took that route and concluded the series as they did.
In the manga , everything that came up after the Buddhist temple arc kept piling more and more disappointment with me. I don't know what i was expecting but i didn't think the writer would abandon the concept of the games so soon and focus more on the drama of the day to day lives of the characters.
I especially hated the mass shooting arc not because it was taboo but because it didn't build up properly and didn't conclude with a good payoff. With regard to the demons and vampires i dunno what the fuck that was but it was complete trash. It seems like the author was grasping at straws trying to get everything mixed in just to raise the stakes when the games where enough for that , having to face a different monstrosity every week would have been a great thing to keep going but he kept breaking his own rules within the world of Gantz that i stopped caring and once the alien invasion arc started i just skimmed through it because i couldn't be bothered to care anymore.
Gantz started out great and has got to be the most disappointing manga I've ever read and i actually prefer the anime over it. While I certainly agree that the ending was very rushed. I feel that the author probably had a much more interesting ending in mind but was pressured into finishing the manga for financial reasons or via request from the publisher As for the concept tho I feel that the overall idea that was presented was pretty solid.
It would make sense that the other races would only sparingly try to populate Earth if they knew that the Dominant race from their galaxy had set their sites on the same planet. What got me was how under-powered the giants seemed to be in comparison to some of the other Aliens such as the Roman statue monsters who seemed to be much stronger. I feel like the giants were defeated a bit too easily. I mean the Tenzu boss in the Osaka ark was able to resist the Z-Gun's gravity field. I feel that the giants should have been a little tougher.
I also have mixed feelings regarding the cloning of Kurano. On the one hand I felt it was a bit of a cop out and contrived. It seemed like it was clearly fan service for the people that really wanted to see Kurano and Reika together. I was so routing for them and it was truly sad seeing them both die. I felt the same way about when Sei died in the bhuddist temple.
At that point I was watching the Anime which depicted her character a bit more japanese and not a blatant Angelina Joli rip off. But I though she was amazing.

There's still no specific date yet for when the long-awaited Chainsaw Man anime comes out, fans just know it'll be sometime in Thankfully, while the wait is painful for those who aren't interested in reading the Part 2 manga continuation, there is a lot of other anime out there that have similar unpredictable and pure chaotic vibes as Chainsaw Man. Now, this is something a bit more niche, as there is plenty of anime that has a lot of gratuitous violence and over-the-top action, but the "chaos" in Chainsaw Man is truly unique. Readers of the Chainsaw Man manga can confirm that it's impossible to tell what's going to happen next, who is going to die, and where the story is even going at any point in Denji's story, and that heightens the experience so much more. So, rather than look at other anime in the same genre, let's take a look at some recommendations that fit the same "off-the-wall" niche.
