Original subtitles

Humans who may have died show up again in the real world

As if they risen from the dead

This rumor started

many months ago

The truth is never clear

instead it is always shrouded in darkness

Hey what are you doing

The high speed train will soon arrive at platform 2

Can someone help that guy?

It's dangerous

However that night

The truth that was veiled in darkness

Was revealed just a little

You'd better hurry

Are you alright?

Can someone help me?

lm begging!

Come on, get up!

Kei-chan

Someone help him up!

Kato!

Okay!

That night

Two people

Saw the truth

Hiroshi?

Ah, sorry sorry, I was late

Eh you're used to that voice?

Ah that's great

Hey you know

Are you okay with the results?

Ah that's unexpected

Then, I have something to do so I'll hang up first

Mm that's right

I've been doing it a lot lately

Eh? Don t say that

But you see

it looks like it'd be really busy from now on

Ah I know, I'll be fine

It's not like I don't know about the dangers

Ah that's unexpected

Then I'll talk to you again

Yeah

Good night

The footage of security cameras

captured what happened to those two at the train station

However

There was no great damage

And the corpses could not be found

The blog site that is popular nowadays on the net

Looking for a file among the countless ones available

The key was found

To unlock the mystery, a 500kb text file is required

That file

has fallen into someone's hands

and is now circulating on file sharing sites

like a message in a bottle

floating in the sea

lf you look up the name and data of the file

Nobody bothered reading it

at the moment but me

It is a one room mansion

It appears that people who are supposed to be dead are brought there

They receive missions

from a black ball known as GANTZ

GANTZ

People who are supposed to be dead are brought

into that room

Mission

Fight to live

They can't tell anyone

About killing aliens

For people who may have died

the mission for their existence is on the line, has begun

That is

a perfect game

A perfect world

When the commands are given

the room will suddenly materialize before their eyes

That room

Is that Tokyo Tower?

really exist in reality?

Don't be stupid

It won't open

Why are we here?

is this a hospital?

Well

You know

Just now at the train platform

We got hit right?

You ignored me

Uh um.. I didn't recognize you at first

I see

Kei-chan's always like that

Ah, since primary school?

Since grade three, wasn't it

Hang on

Did they hear us?

I'm not sure

Why are we here?

What the heck is this?

A body that just... died

It is all a distortion of reality

At the moment you are scanned and transported to that room

How and when did it come about?

You guys came the same way

Why is she naked?

Among all humans. That night,

was the first time a naked person appeared

She probably died in the bathtub

Don't cover her She probably died in the bathtub

Don't cover her

It's a new morning. A morning of hope.

Open your heart. Look up the sky.

Listen to the radio and start of the day

Take a deep breath and... 1, 2, 3!

(All your lives are gone)

(All your lives are gone) (I will decide how to use your new lives) (Well, that's how it will be)

Huh?

(If you wish to go back, you will do as I say)

(Onion Alien, Characteristic: Stinks, Likes: Onions)

What is this?

It's warm

(Kurono)

It has my name on it

Open it?

Let's see

Kishimoto-san?

Maybe you should put this on

Um.. I..

Didn't I die?

I have no idea, too

For now

you should wear something

The size, would it fit?

How would I know?

During that moment

it was like an illusion

Like they've been hypnotized

Is that so?

I've kind of gotten a grasp of it

Obviously we're not dead

We're in a state of apparent death at the hospital

and we were all given the same medicine

What we're seeing now are hallucinations caused by that medicine

Hallucinations?

It's like we're under a hypnosis spell

Everybody's seeing the same hallucination

Isn't it? Right?

We might even be

subjects for some sort of experiment

What is this?

Um...

It's a hallucination Um...

It's a hallucination

Kei-chan

Eh?

Outside?

What is this?

We got out somehow

So, can we just go home

I've had enough

Please hang on

I don't want to sound strange

but this is a TV show

You all entered through a hypnosis program

We're not dead. See we're not dead!

The producer is my father

It's a new collaboration project with American Cable TV and some universities

It's a kind of reality show

A virtual version of ATO

You don't know?

American Try Out

lf you complete the mission, you'll be given a hundred thousand dollars

I want that prize as well, so I asked my father to let me take part

A hundred thousand dollars?

Ten million?

Kato

Wait! Over there

Please take a good look

That's our target

Eh is that so?

The time limit is 20 minutes, if you get it then you get the cash prize

It's so close! -Hang on!

Last month

I was laid off

Ten million is it?

Just now

Isn't he just a kid?

Why don't you

find out for yourself

GANTZ's mission is abduction

If the number of aliens increase, the number who can fight back will also increase

Humans are the same

Useless people

People who only fight unknowingly

In this small world

small life forms slowly become distinct

This is the first time I've seen someone try and use the case

isn't it interesting?

Good job realizing you need the suit though

Oi, Use this

This time I'll let you have the points

Hurry up

Before everybody gets killed

What the...

you're disappointing

Next time you will wine-up dead

It's been a while since anyone else survived

Explain

Is this really a TV show?

Ask GANTZ...

GANTZ...

That's what it's been called even before I got here

Old man!

You survived

No matter how hurt you are, as long as you're alive

you'll come back healed

(Then, let the scoring begin)

(Kishimoto 0 points. Your boobs bounced too much)

What is this?

(Kato 0 points. Too scared)

(Suzuki 0 points. Your presence was barely felt)

My presence

(Kurono 0 points. Stared too much at Kishimoto)

(Nishi-kun 5 points. Total 79 points)

Only 5 points

What's all of this?

GANTZ gives scores for the mission just now

A mission to eliminate aliens invading Earth

Who the heck are you?

I am

an alien

That's a lie!

There's no need to be that scared

Don't play around!

What happened to the others?

They got killed

You saw it didn't you?

Look

That's everybody

who died during GANTZ's missions

You

Why didn't you help them. Why did you just let them die?

You dare to say that

You hypocrite

You really don't know

what you're talking about

Let go of Kato!

Are you kidding?

This time I'll really shoot

Explain now

What is this place?

Tell us

Too bad

It's time

there were 4 small fry who managed to stay alive

4 people

Those two are interesting though

One is a tall compassionate guy

The other is like me

That guy has promise

He has the same eyes as me

That guy

who managed to return to the real world from that room

even more than being chosen by GANTZ

will he be able to find his true ability?

(Seeking eyewitnesses)

(they got off the platform, and onto the track... as they were about to go up they were hit by the train...)

I hate that compassionate guy

He's probably searching for many things

I wonder if he will be able to find them

(Nishi Jouichiro 10th February 2010 Even now he goes to...)

(...perceived to have died in a car accident ...Hanazawa High School)

(To Nishi-kun)

(I have something to say to you Today after school, can you meet me at the rooftop?)

269, 269

Why did that guy come today?

My desk

Where is it?

What the heck, just quit school already!

Just don't come to school any more

Alright, who doesn't want Nishi-kun to come to school anymore?

Raise your hands

Yep that's everyone... wait!

What happened?

Over there!

Tsubaki!

Hey hey hey... Could it be?

Does she like him or something?

Could it be?

Everybody

Things like this aren't good

And so?

All of you

Nishi-kun!

I...

have always

liked Nishi-kun

Even now, I still like you!

Even now

Nuisance

What did you say?

You're a nuisance

What?

Come here

Who do you think you are?

Insects

What is this brat saying?

You're all ignorant people

What did you say?!

What's this?

Oh he's wearing a suit!

Why a suit?

What're are you trying to pull? We'll deal with you tonight

What's happening?

What're you doing?

Knock it off

What are you doing?

Damn it

You're Nishi Jouichiro-kun?

No, I'm not

GANTZ

You know about it right?

Yesterday those two men died in a train accident

However no traces of their body could be found

Many of these cases have happened before

And sometimes, the next morning

the person thought to be dead

would show up without a scratch

I read about your case in a file

These kind of cases are really interesting

The room with the black ball

you know about it right?

You do, don't you?

I also want to know

What GANTZ is...

I can't understand such a perfect thing

It's perfect

Why weren't there any eyewitnesses?

GANTZ probably has the answer to mysteries like these

I want to know them too

Answers?

Perfect answers

from a perfect object

Too bad

See you next time

That night was the last time

I saw him

It's a new morning A morning of hope

Open your heart

Look up to the sky -I guess this is everyone tonight.

(If you wish to go back Do as I say)

(Tanaka Alien Special characteristics: Noisy Likes: Radio cassette players)

Do you understand

GANTZ knows everything

We can't escape him

No matter where we are, we are called every time

Every time...

We have to do it all over again!

Yes

Even before I came, everybody has been fighting

The ones who got killed were replaced

Many have died

I was the only one who survived

Why didn't you tell us any of these?

You should have explained from the beginning

You would have saved many more

Come on! You still don't get it

Compassionate man

So they were decoys

Correct

As expected we're the same

Yeah, right?

Aliens let their guards down when killing people

As expected

Explain properly!

What should we do?

Explain to everyone!

Don't keep relying on others

Think a little more

Alright?

This

That's right

Change into that!

Then, I'll be leaving

Good luck

Grandma! Grandmaaaaa!

How long will we have to do something like this? How many times?

We don't know

Quickly, wear this

Grab the case

(Please wait)

What is this?

Kuruno-kun

Wait! He's in trouble

My suit broke!

Okay

Incredible

Hey. Can you hear me?

Answer me

lf you... get 100 points...

100 points?

What happens if you get 100 points?

With 100 points... you can... get your life back

Kishimoto Kei, age 21

I got back?

That woman

It's almost as if she's gone to the extreme of being a complete stranger

She's bad at talking to others

and she's not good at expressing her feelings

That's why

when she can't express her emotions

it may result to unexpected actions

For example being dumped by a boy

She might end up slitting her wrists or the like

Unfortunately

that girl's heart can't recover

No one was able to predict

what kind of dramatic thing would happen

Kishimoto-san

Why don't you wear this?

Kato!

Kato you idiot, move!

I can't

Let go

Wai

Wait-wait-wait-hang on!

Wait-wait-wait-

Hang on-wait-

Damn you!

Kei-chan!

Sorry... I pulled the trigger first...

Kei-chan

What happened to Kei-chan?

What happened to Kei-chan?

Hey! What happened to Kei-chan?

What happened to him?!

Thank goodness

I'm alive?

(Then, the grading will now begin)

(Kishimoto 0 points Stared at Kato too much)

(Kato 0 points Let himself get stared at too much by Kishimoto)

I wonder what's the meaning of these points

(Suzuki 0 points Were you even there?)

(Shiraishi 0 points You were there, weren't you)

(Kurono 7 points Total 7 points)

7...

Finally...

(It will end with 93 more points)

GANTZ

What will happen when I get 100 points?

(If you get 100 points Choose one from the following:)

(If you get 100 points: 1. Have your memory erased and be set free 2. Get the chance to resurrect a loved one)

Set free?

Even dead people can be reborn?

On the first day of this month

a car leaking gasoline burnt up

Unfortunately there are no details

How is it?

It's amazing

It's a shoujo manga about 'heroes' is it too perfect and sweet?

A normal guy like Kurono-kun

becomes a hero of justice

It's like the me from the past

Ah I remember

When I was young

I stood up for other kids who got bullied

Is that so?

For someone to suddenly change

I don't think he remembers what happened before

Of course

A real hero never stops fighting the bad guys

It's alright for the weak to run

Because I'll protect everyone

Oota Prefecture Yaguchi-san-chome, number 36

It's the place

What kind of people are those guys?

It's like they fell into a world of darkness

that nobody else must know about

Kato-san

The events that happened then... what were they?

Are we dead?

Or are we alive?

When I

was in that room

I thought I had finally died

I had always thought

that it would be okay to die

But now I want to live on

Because I met Kato-san

It was Kato-san who changed me

Therefore

I was... in juvenile detention

I killed my father

My father

was so drunk, he beat-up my brother every night

I wanted to save him

But I couldn't save anyone

They took my brother away from me

So that's why

I don't want to leave him again

Sorry for saying weird things

Let's go

Kato-san

That girl

heard that voice for the last time that night

Is it beginning again?

Yes

(Irritable Alien Special characteristic: Large Likes: Quiet places)

Pretty

What is this place?

It's really wide

There it is

Eh, it suddenly came out?

Our target

Everybody listen up

From now on

Unexpected things will happen

However if we all cooperate

Are you okay?

Run! Get-out!

Run!

You're Suzuki-san?

You know these two don't you?

I've heard from various sources in the city

that there are a lot of traffic accidents involving explosions

Because of that, people have been disappearing

He and that girl as well

What has happened in Tokyo?

Do you know?

I also don't know

However

We're not killers

We're fighting

What for?

Have you ever been married?

important things can be lost anytime

Kishimoto-san as well

Kato-kun and Kurono-kun also

were all splendid

Move

Get everyone out of here

You can't do this alone!

Just watch

It's pointless!

I got it!

You're a nuisance

I told you I'll handle it

This is not okay!

People got killed

It's not my fault he moves slow

It hurts

Is she dead?

Not yet

Kurono-san behind you

Thousand arm Buddha

Kei-chan

Stay here

I told you it's pointless!

What do you think you're doing?

I'm fine

You haven't changed since then

That's why you're the coolest kid

You see

I've always wanted to become like Kei-chan

But

as expected I'm too compassionate

Kei-chan please

Kato!

The ones who attacked first

were you

You all

killed your comrades

Get revenge

Run Kato-san!

For Kato-san

the only one you can love

is him right?

Kato!

Hey Sachiko

If I said I wanted you to be reborn

would you laugh?

(If you get 100 points: 1. Have your memories erased and be set free 2. Get the chance to revive someone you love)

But you see

that is my answer

Kurono-kun's answer

Get revenge

All of you...

Your comrades as well

I will kill them all

Kei-chan! Wait up!

Kato! Hurry up!

You're slow!

Hurry up!

A one-room mansion

In there, people who may have died gather

and receive missions from a black ball known as GANTZ

It is a battle to stay alive

You cannot escape it

Killing aliens

Kurono Kei... Kato Masaru...

Somewhere in Tokyo, they must be

trying to live a normal life

What's GANTZ's objective for gathering people

and making them fight?

You

It's too late

GANTZ hurry up!

Also, why do the fight?

What are they fighting for?

(Then, let the scoring begin)

Don't do this

Return Kato!

(If you get 100 points: 1. Have your memory erased and be set free 2. Get the chance to revive someone you like)

He was a man who fought till the very end

I have to keep fighting until I get 100 points

(Kato)

Kato hurry up!

Faster!

Kei-chan!

Wait for me! Kei-chan!

Sorry

Today somehow

I don't feel like reading manga

Um

Um.. has anything happened?

Recently, when you helped me read my manga

the truth is

Kurono-kun

you made me happy

but.. well..

it felt kind of strange

I felt kind of... scared

I know because I've always been looking at Kurono-kun

Sorry for saying it like that

It just seems like that to me

It feels weird

Ah, I dropped it!

My hat

The train's going to come soon!

It's going to come!

What will I do?

But the train's going to come!

Get it

What should I do?

I'm sorry! -Here

Thank you so much! Ah where are your manners?

Thank you...

I'm sorry...

The train will soon arrive at platform 2

Because it's dangerous, please stand behind the yellow line

Kurono-kun

What are you doing? Hurry up and get off!

Kurono-kun!

Kurono-kun!

The train is coming!

I'm sorry

I like you!

I love Kurono-kun!

So... Please don't die!

Humans who were thought to have died reappear

by the next morning

This rumor was first heard many months ago

Slowly collecting points

they gradually become aware of the point of it all

GANTZ

I am now looking for the answer to that

Also, right now I am in an unidentifiable location

Soon this medium will be broadcasted

Even if I make everyone angry

this information needs to be spread

so that everybody will know the truth

All answers will soon be revealed

Soon everything will be understood and GANTZ will come to an end

End?

When an endless fight ends

When GANTZ welcomes its end

only those with perfect answers will remain

Is that how it is? GANTZ

You're useless

What did you do?

Nothing

Not yet anyway

What is your aim?

What are you planning to do with GANTZ?

I want to know the answer

Well, I wonder

People thought to have died suddenly reappear

They return the next morning

This rumor was first heard countless months ago

Gathering points

they slowly become aware of the point of it all

GANTZ

I am now looking for that answer

A one-room mansion

There, people thought to have died gather

and receive missions

from a black ball known as GANTZ

It is a battle to live

It cannot be told to anyone

The killing of aliens

to these people who may have died

is a battle to survive
