i just marathoned 328 chapters in about 21 hours and though it was very enjoyable, there are so many things that i just don't sit right with me. just off the top of my head, vampires, demons and psychics just appear out of no where, and then disappears. then an ipad alien version of ihuman starts this attack that this black ball (still lacking an explanation) somehow predicts, there's just too many things that don't make sense. i think i'm going to reread this sometime next week and see if i missed anything important.

vampires and demons can just be put down as another type of alien, given there's such a massive variety of them in Gantz. The Vampires are just an organised crime syndicate type of thing that have managed to a) stay under the radar b) fight back.

The psychic thing... I don't really have a problem with it being there, just that those who specialise in it seem to have advanced incredibly quickly, particularly the kid in the latest chapter who's laying waste to a squad of giants.

Gantz itself was the result of like 15 years of people interpreting morse code that this business moguls disabled daughter was tapping out (or something like that). Basically she was receiving data from space (my guess is another race that the giant aliens had overthrown had managed to send the information before their downfall, or perhaps a small contingent of survivors had sent them from an unknown location).

Pumpkin's Top Ten Characters (plus worthy mentions):
Spoiler:

NEW ENTRY: LOVE AIKAWA WOOT!
Special winners:
- Love (shikai and mask Oni ogre combo)
- Shunsui (for shutting up all those whiny bitches that said he was a weakling after getting hit by starks cero, and having possibly one of the most awesome epic shikai abilities ever).

1. Yama - badass just don't get more badassed that this. SACRIFICIAL KIDOU IS FOR THE HARDCORE.

Opening the gap more and more lol DOUBLE BONE POW

2. Isshin - STFU AIZEN. WIN.
3. Unohana - likely the second strongest captain, we have still to see her shine.
4. Stark - calm, even lazy, but still apparently very badass
5. Hisagi - he just looks lethal, and then of course there's kazeshini that looks immense.
6. Yoruichi - still haven't seen all she has to over yet and she's freaking hawt too.
7. Urahara - laid back but kinda freaky at times too, looking forward to his major fight
8. Shinji - SAKANADE
9. Tessai - My red mage blocks your attack with an #80 danku and returns fire with a flawless #99 Kin. WTFPWNAGE magic stylie.
10. Uqluiorra - JUST manages to creep onto this list purely because of this:
Spoiler:


Worthy Mention:
Zommari - I like his release, it is of course THE GREAT PUMPKIN, second of course only to myself in all of Pumpkindom.
Loli + Menoli - dunno... i think it would be so much better for all of us if they quit their bitching and filled each others mouths with their tongues. Or maybe not their mouths...
WONDERWICE: simply for being so fucking badass.

Zanpakutou:
Spoiler:
Name: Museimaru (Voiceless Circle)


Spoiler:
Spirit Description: A giant Oak tree standing atop the peak of a mountain (the rest of the inner world is made up of this mountain and the surrounding mountain range). It appears to be on permanently on fire but it is not in fact burning. The personality of the spirit is often calm, however he tends to push Mai onwards, trying to get her to fight against her naturally submissive disposition. He reprimands her when she is not forceful or confident enough to engage or act immediately, yet while advocating immediacy he is by no means a hot-head, ironically considering his boughs are always aflame. He enjoys the serenity of his mountain valley surroundings, as well as listening to birdsong and the feint sound of running spring water. He dislikes raucus noises and disjointed rhythms, wether it be in sound or sight, eg experimental music or abstract art unless it has a linking motif throughout.


Sealed:
Spoiler:
Muesimaru, similar to Yama-iji's staff, does not take the form of a sword when sealed, instead it takes that of a shamisen, a three stringed guitar like traditional japanese instrument. This is however incredibly strong, and can, against lesser opponents or other sealed pre-shikai zanpakutou be used to defend or block against their blades.



Shikai:
Spoiler:

Appearence:
Spoiler:
Museimaru changes into an elegant Jumonji-yari with engravings down the length of the shaft, which broadens slightly at the opposite end of the blades to form a balance weight to their slightly oversized nature.


Command: Shizukesa "Hush"

Abilities:
Latent: Upon releasing Museimaru seals/ steals the voices of those within the surrounding area making any further releases or kidou impossible. Shikai may be possible to release if the user can release without having to say the command. This is in effect until Museimaru is resealed.
Latent: Museimaru emits supersonic and subsonic soundwaves within a close range. Even if Museimaru is blocked or misses its target these soundwaves can cause dizzyness, nausea, sickness or against much lower levels even hemorhaging.
Named: Reikonkaku "Soul Divide" Fires a sub audio sound wave of vibrating molecules and particles at opponent which can bludgeon or micro shred opponent depending on wether its subsonic or supersonic. It appears similar to a getsuga tenshou only as shimmering air and sounds similar to the sound that sonido makes, only extended. It can be dodged and blocked or redirected to an extent but simply placing ones sword, hand or firing a cero through it will not be sufficient.


Bankai:
Spoiler:
Bankai Issei no Ni-ju-ichi Kinsenken, (Voice of Twentyone Heartstring Blades)

Activation Phrase: "Bankai"
Appearance: Her appearence changes quite radically, taking on that of a Geisha, however she is almost entirely adorned in black. Her hair falls to her feet in torrents, straight and sleek, although it is put up slightly in an ornate fashion using ivory hair combs, clips, broaches and needles. Her skin is white, and where her lips would be painted red they are black, as are her eyelids and the rest of the makeup along with her nails. Whilst not initially stunning before bankai, she is now breathtaking. She is barefoot although its impossible to tell under the multiple cascading folds of her black kimono.
The new form of Museimaru is initially out of site as it is behind her.
It now takes the form of a giant ivory Guzheng. When she wishes to play it floats out and up to waist height on invisible supports of reiatsu. The 21 strings are made out of pure reiatsu and if snapped can be reformed.

Abilities:
From playing it she can cast out super-sonic sound waves which can shred or bludgeon at the opponent. She can use the extreme opposite of the sound range (in the sub-audio region on this guzheng, its no ordinary one) in a defensive manner, so treble=attack and bass=defensive. The soundwaves are visible in the form of shimmering purple and black streaks. These waves are quite similar to her base level Reikonkaku, however she can fire them from the Guzheng at will and multiple attacks at once, and they are much more powerful and can be directed through the air, as well as having a purple tinge to them.
For an idea of how this would be used in battle... heres what the idea is based upon:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Oq84WO_zubQ
Unlike the Harpist's attacks, the soundwaves are more immaterial, ie. they can be deflected (as all soundwaves can but only to an extent as these soundwaves have massive amounts of reiatsu behind them) and dodged but it would take more than an unreleased zan to block it and even perhaps a melee zan in shikai, as they'll pass straight by, as they consist of billions of super high frequency vibrating molecules.

If her defenses are bypassed somehow then she can resort to using the reiatsu strings as microfilament razor wires, wielding them from her fingers (ala Walter from Hellsing, or Yashamaru from Basilisk). As they are made of highly concentrated reiatsu she can add to them making them longer at will. They are highly apt at tangling bladed weapons in.

i guess everything is justifiable, still i'd rather the manga didn't portray all the aliens to be so terrestrially based.
one more thing, this page had me in tears

I have a theory. That the psychic kid and those guys in Berlin have the same power. You know that dude that took down one airplane without blinking. I guess he was already aware of the invasion like pumpkin said, but there must be some kind of links between him and this kid from Gantz. And that also Gantz themselves are also like a race of superhumans/aliens with the power to teleport or copy someones DNA, then replicate it. @@ [/random]

maybe Nishi can shed some light soon.

agreed on the psychic kid.

I think the ability to copy, teleport etc genetic code is from the technology, not the Gantz themselves. IMO I think the people INSIDE the spheres are perhaps specially grown test tube humans designed specifically to "pilot" the spheres.

So am I just really forgetful or is the guy from the new chapter somebody new? I haven't really cared about Gantz lately but maybe it'll get better with Kaze and characters I actually care about instead of that side-mission on the Mothership with Tei.

you talking about nishi? the guy who was inviz in the room?

yea that's his calling card. he was in the first few chapters of the series, and inviz'd then wandered around killin' shit like that for a while. he then got killed, and was eventually ressed, upon which he continued to inviz until finally revealing to everyone about the upcoming armageddon day. he's a cold-hearted bitch who loves the "game" since he's special there, chooses new weapons as his reward for points instead of rezzes, and was looking forward to the apocalypse happening.

he also seems to know far more than the rest of the team, with a more friendly relationship with Gantz (or rather the guy inside the gantz ball) than the others.

yea sorry didn't realize there was a new chapter out. JUST read it and came back to apologize.

nah he's new. he looks like some past characters (izumi or whatever, but that mole...) but he's definitely new. if i had to guess he's reika's brother. but no you're right he's no one we've seen before... which makes the "hope" phrase at the end odd.

Whatever happened to the Vampire leader anyways? I know he survived Osaka, but I can't remember what happened to him from there.
