Original subtitles

Explosions around Shibuya station.

Casualties have been medevaced.

Live from Shibuya.

I can see many cars ablaze at Shibuya Crossing.

The destruction is like a war zone.

The area is closed off. The cause remains unknown.

Kurono!

Your suit!

Don't.

Someone has to.

But you can't!

I have to! Who else will?

Kurono!

Kurono.

How's Pop?

He's alive!

Good...

Kurono? Please...

Kurono! Kurono!

No...

Kurono!

See my shiny and wavy hair.

Enrich your hair.

"Newsflash: Osaka is in a state of emergency"

What's going on?

Maybe it's the murderers, like in Shibuya?

"Osaka's in state of emergency."

"You OK?"

"Like the killings in Tokyo."

"The black suits were there?"

Rich in hyaluronic acid.

"It is said that the black suit = US Military"

"The strange thing in Osaka is the murderer from Tokyo"

Ayumu, I'm in Shinjuku. I'll get a train.

You're late. What have you been doing?

I'm sorry.

Do you remember what today is?

What is it?

It's him, the murderer!

Call the police!

Police!

Call the police!

This way!

- Call 911! - Where's the police?

Call the police!

Where's it hurt?

You'll be OK.

"Happy birthday, Ayumu"

Am I alive?

Hey, you!

Are you in shock?

I got...stabbed.

You were?

I dropped dead from a stroke.

Reika here was in an auto accident.

Reika...

The star?

Yes. She's a big deal, right?

I'm a bit out of touch

but I saw her in a TV ad.

What was it? Shampoo...

Please! Who cares?

Aren't you her fan, Nishi?

I know you schoolboys...

Shut up, Baldy.

Oh, what's your name?

Masaru Kato.

My name is Suzuki.

Nice to see you.

What's going on?

Explain!

It's hard to believe

but we all died once.

What?

You told me the same!

It makes no sense to me!

"Rise and shine, It's a new morning for us"

"A morning of new hope"

"Breathe in, A chest full of joy"

"Look up at the clear, blue sky!"

"Listen to the radio"

"The summer breeze, is so wholesome"

"Breathe in and exercise now"

"To the count of, One, two and three!"

YouR old livEs have ended.

I wiLl decide hOw to use youR new lives.

that's the way tHe cookie crumbles.

Go now and finish off this gUy.

Nurarihyon.

“Characteristic: He kicks ass. He won't give up"

“Favourite treasure: long stern tobacco pipe."

- Kill him in given time. - Oh no, he looks tough!

What's this thing?

This black orb is Gantz.

Gantz?

I don't know why but that's what everyone calls.

What the hell?

Are these toy guns?

"Kato-cha"? Is this mine?

You two first-timers,

better get dressed now.

Don't tell me what to do, Baldy.

Morons like him always die first.

What's that, punk?

You're just a dumb gamehead!

You have an attitude, schoolkid.

I'm talking to you, punk!

- Nishi! - Don't!

I told you.

Nishi!

He'd have dragged us down.

This guy looks useless too.

Are you OK?

Put on the gear, Kato!

Who are you?

We're stuck playing an endless survival game.

A survival game?

You must have seen it on the news.

You know the monster in Shibuya?

We fight the monsters.

You mean, you're the ones in the black suits?

In the last game,

our toughest members were

eliminated unfortunately.

We lost our leader.

Gantz, beam me out of here.

Hurry up, Kato.

Quickly, please!

Put it on!

Are you OK?

Wait a minute...

"Dotonbori"

We're...

This is Osaka!

But we're always sent to Tokyo!

She's out of range, moron.

Are you OK?

You guys are useless.

Sorry, I totally panicked.

What's going on?

Explain it to me.

Fuck off!

What's going on? What is she?

- Why us? - Wait Nishi!

I'll tell him.

Why do we have to fight them?

And who are they?

We don't know.

We know one thing.

We have to kill all the enemies before our time is up.

What if we don't?

Then...

We'd all die.

But...

For real.

We'd no longer exist in the world.

That's the Gantz rules.

What do you mean, rules?

Oh, no!

Impossible!

Come here.

Oh!

Come here.

Kato, go ahead and shoot!

Kato!

I'm OK...

The suit protected you. Come on!

What?

Who did it?

- He's lying! - Are you?

Who are they?

You have a Tokyo accent.

Are you the Osaka team?

Osaka team?

So there are more?

How come you don't know that?

This is his first game.

A novice, a kid, a middle-aged man and a woman.

How pathetic!

Is he OK?

As long as you're alive

you get back your limbs

when the stage is cleared.

What?

How about that tough guy who's called Kuro or something?

He's dead.

Wait a minute!

It's Reika!

Man! Look at the jugs on her!

Shit!

Hey, the Tokyo team's not bad.

More of them!

We'll get them.

You just sit and watch, wimps.

Reika, watch us finish them off.

Then we can swap numbers.

Come on, George.

There are so many of them!

I'll go for the right side.

How about you?

Please, help me...

They're enjoying this...

It's a tough mother!

It cut the suit!

Get away from it!

That's worth points.

I'll have it!

How about that, Reika?

We kick ass!

The Osaka team are tough!

What's that weapon and the bike thing?

You can get superior weapons if you score 100 points.

100 points?

When we beat the enemies,

we're teleported back to the room

to get scored.

"100-point menu" If you get 100, you win the game.

Gantz gives you 3 bonus options.

Like what?

Like superior weapons.

Or resurrect a dead teammate.

You can bring them back?

Apparently. I've never done it.

The 3rd option?

"Be released with your memory wiped."

Graduation.

You'll be free!

Free?

Score 100 points and you can leave this behind.

You'll forget all about the Gantz games...

and go back to your regular life.

Anyway, it's good, isn't it?

We won't have to do anything.

The Osaka guys will wipe out the monsters.

I'll give them the small ones but I'll get the Boss at the end.

Nishi's strategy is to hide...

and wait for the strongest one at the end.

Killing the Boss gets you many points.

We have to help those people!

Come on, Suzuki.

We should avoid unnecessary risks.

- Suzuki! - No...

But isn't that what you do?

Well...Not without our leader...

Come on!

We're not tough enough to protect others.

We can leave it to the Osaka team

so that we can concentrate on surviving, OK?

Kato, wait! Kato!

If you must go, keep this.

Someone's waiting for your call.

There are still some pay phones around.

Make sure that you don't die.

It's good.

All the sauce we want!

Do you see that there?

Yeah...It's no Biriken statue.

He's spooky.

The Kato residence.

Hello?

Ayumu, it's me.

Where have you been? I've been calling you.

Sorry.

I was called into work.

On a night like this?

With what's happening in Osaka?

What's happening?

Some monsters are running wild in Osaka.

Really...I had no idea.

How's that possible? Anyway, come home!

Sorry.

It'll take a while.

OK, see you later.

Ayumu.

What?

I will come home.

I know that!

I'll eat first and go to bed.

Dad!

Damn it!

Hi there!

You with the Tokyo team?

Right.

I'm Anzu Yamasaki from the Osaka team.

And you?

I'm Masaru Kato.

How old are you? I'm 23.

17

A high school boy!

You're just a kid.

I've been watching you.

I got really curious about

what you were doing.

What?

I'm sure I'm wrong but...

Did you just save that family?

Well...

What were you really doing?

I saved the family.

Oh my God, it's impossible!

I did.

No! No one does that.

But I did!

Would you just watch someone get killed?

Phony Alien!

Are you upset?

I'll help people.

Quit it.

You hypocrite.

Don't follow me.

Lighten up. I love observing weirdos.

You're funny.

I know you won't last long.

I just remembered.

I saw a kid hiding with some old people.

I hope they're OK.

Where are they?

You're such a show off!

Don't cry or the monsters will get us.

We're finished. It's just like hell.

It's OK if I die,

but not the boy.

His life's just begun.

I want to take him to his parents.

Get away from it!

You run! I'll take care of it!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey!

There they are.

Are you OK? I'll save you!

Back away!

Run!

No! I'll save them!

No way. You can't beat him!

I'll save them.

Don't. I know you're scared.

You'll die, you blockhead!

Stop! He'll seriously kill you!

You idiot!

He can die if he wants to.

He's just a hopeless moron...

He's kind of cute though.

Is there anything I can do, boy?

Just move away!

Idiots like that are rare.

One of a kind...

It'll be OK.

Get back!

What's this?

Maybe I'm scared...

to see him dying.

How can I beat him?

What an idiot!

Excuse me!

Now what?

Hey!

Are you OK?

Hey, are you OK?

What's this?

Is there a doctor or a paramedic?

Someone, call an ambulance!

Major roads are swarming with citizens.

Experts say that the creatures are not of this Earth

but of alien origin.

You'll save more people?

Yes.

Why are you acting like such a hero?

Leave off!

I'm just curious about your upbringing.

What do your parents do?

My parents?

Dad was a firefighter.

He and Mom died in a car accident.

When I was in junior high.

Any siblings?

A brother, 10.

Is he in an orphanage?

I work so we can live in an apartment.

If you don't survive, your brother would be left alone.

Right.

I live with my 3-year-old son.

You're a mom?

Yes. Do I look too young?

Hey! Just say "Yes!" when you get asked that.

Yes...

Anyway, you and I are in a similar situation.

We can't afford to die. Never.

Right. We can't die.

Military personnel have been deployed...

across the city.

We have an update on the mysterious people in black suits.

This footage was just uploaded to a video site.

A young man in black...

fought to protect an old couple and a child.

"Men in Black. LOL"

"They exist!"

"I'm impressed."

"Go, Osaka!"

"See the news? Is it real?"

"The TV says so."

"Go, black suit!"

"Here comes the hero!"

Go now!

Thank you.

- Use the big gun! - Not yet!

I'll do it.

There's something crazy about them...

Guys like them always survive.

That dark-skinned one...

We call him George.

His real name is Shimaki.

He won 3 bonuses.

The tall skinhead is Nobuo Muroya.

We call him Nobuyan.

He's won 4 times.

He's a megalomaniac.

He's a reckless...

self-appointed leader.

But there's one more.

Really?

Hachiro Oka, a 7-time bonus winner.

He's somewhere.

He cloaks and goes in hiding.

Good...

I hope Kato is doing OK.

What's wrong?

If Kurono was alive,

would he have saved people

like Kato?

I'm sure he would have.

We can resurrect Kurono

if we scored 100.

We don't have a chance.

But Suzuki...

We can hardly take care of ourselves.

Oh, no!

There's one in Japan?

Is it on our side?

The boss creature should be 100 points.

100 points for one creature?

Yeah, 100 for 1.

The monsters on the tower looked like badasses.

Killing one won't get 100 points.

Oka says it has happened before.

Really?

It was before our time.

Before we went to the room.

Everyone died except Oka.

Oka killed the boss monster.

By himself!

He's a monster himself!

Oh God...What's that?

It's way out of our league.

Freeze!

Put your hands up!

Wait!

Don't shoot!

Kato!

Don't shoot!

You in the black suits!

Who are you with?

- I'll shoot! - Wait!

We're agents.

You're agents? State your unit.

Our unit is...

Gantz.

Gantz?

Oh, he's in more trouble!

Show your ID!

We don't have any. But it's true!

- I'll shoot! - No!

Wait a minute.

Fire!

Run, all of you!

Watch Suzuki!

Come and get me!

No way!

Well?

Hey. You're shitting me!

It's not dead.

Is it a 100?

I'll do him.

You'll be flatter than paper when I'm done.

Pretty tough, aren't you?

You cockroach.

Fuck! Stop playing!

You fuck! You goddamn motherfucker!

Fuckin' help!

Boohoo, can't you take care of yourself?

I bet you shit in your pants, Muroya.

Fuck!

He's dead! No way!

So you're their boss?

That old man?

Gotcha!

What the...

What is this?

What is it?

I've caught you!

This can't be true!

They're both dead!

What's your plan?

I'll do whatever I can.

You'll die!

Think of your brother!

That's why it has to be done.

Otherwise, we'll all die.

But how?

Hey! Don't be stupid!

She dodged!

She's too quick.

All together!

No way!

Hit her!

She was hit! A hit to the head has no effect!

Cover me.

Ayumu, I promise you.

I'll come home!

I got the Boss!

You almost blew us all up!

Big deal!

I went for his arm anyway.

We made it...

We beat the Osaka team!

No...

What the heck?

Oh God!

Run.

Run!

"Strange thing in Osaka"

We lost...

Look at its head!

It's Oka.

What?

Hachiro Oka!

He got it!

Still bleeding.

Hey, can you hear me?

Kato, look at that!

It's alive.

Shit!

Oka...

So if you live to the end of the game,

you'll recover?

Well, yes...

If Oka beats him quickly,

it will help.

It's too powerful!

I don't even know how it attacked me.

Oka can do it.

He'll beat it!

He's won 7 times. Hachiro Oka.

You'd be deluded

if you think you can beat me, sucker!

What you don't know is I played ping pong in college!

I also took karate lessons...

by correspondence!

Amazing!

Did he win?

You want to die?

It's not over. Can't you see?

I find this fascinating.

Very fascinating.

I think I got it.

I've got it. Here I go!

He'll lose...

Oka, no!

Eat this!

Only intuitive attacks work on him.

Here.

Is it over? Did he die?

Not yet.

- No? - How do you mean?

Only surprise attacks work.

I'll go cloak.

You should finish him off now!

No, it's risky.

Damn it...

It is risky.

I know.

But someone's got to do it.

Kato!

Kato!

Suzuki! Why did you...

Your brother...

He's waiting for you.

Suzuki!

Reika.

Watch Suzuki.

But it's too late.

We can save him.

What about you?

I'll do it.

I'll finish the game.

- Kato! - Don't!

Where's that other guy?

He was fun to play with.

Stay here. I'll kill you later.

Hey, are you OK?

- What now? - We can run.

And leave it to Oka.

And if he loses?

But...

We have to think of a way to win!

It's impossible.

We can't die.

We both have someone waiting for us.

That's why I'm going.

I have to!

I have to! Who else will?

You're right.

We have to.

Reika.

How can we beat that thing?

Oka said it must be a surprise attack.

How do we surprise him?

Maybe we can snipe him.

Good idea.

I'll be a decoy.

When he approaches shoot him from a distance.

Are you out of your mind?

We have no choice.

Are you sure we want to snipe him?

Ayumu.

What's wrong?

Listen.

I have to say this before I go.

You...

You mean a lot to me.

Please don't die.

Do not die, OK?

I don't intend to.

You mean it?

You really mean it?

Yes.

I won't give up even if the odds are against me.

Promise me.

If you survive, the 4 of us can live together.

You, your brother, me and my boy.

Alright? Make a promise.

Come on!

Just say "Yes!" when you get asked that.

Yes.

It's a promise.

Don't break it!

I'll protect you. I won't let you die!

Watch me get a bullseye shot of that thing!

I will get home.

For sure!

What the...

They're not in position yet... What should I do?

Wait.

Let me ask you.

Why are we killing each other?

Do you feel that you're in God's presence?

God?

God is the absolute power.

You're God...are you?

This world is created by that absolute power.

There is no defying that fact.

I hit him!

We'll live together!

I'll end this!

Die!

I got it.

I see.

I can finish him off!

He's just shooting blind. This won't finish me off. No way.

Kato!

I got the Big Boss.

I found you.

It's over.

It's really over.

But I...

I was of no help.

Me too. Kato did everything.

Where's he?

Oh, no!

I guess he's dead.

No...He did so much...

Gantz.

Score me.

Live from Osaka.

With no explosions,

"Eat by yourself." the Dotonbori area is very quiet.

There's no sign of the creatures.

Soldiers are assessing the situation.

We only returned because of Kato...

Kato!

I...

You survived!

Oh God!

I'm so happy.

You barely made it.

It'S tiMe to scOre youR points.

Jugs, 6 points.

Baldy, 2 points.

Nishi, 12 points.

It's your turn, Kato.

Kato-cha, 100 points.

- Shit! - Amazing!

You cleared it!

Did I...

100-point menu.

1. Weapon.

2. Resurrection.

3. Freedom.

"1. Get a superior weapon."

"2. Resurrect a dead player."

"3. Have your memory wiped and quit."

Choose 3 and you're free.

And go back to living with your brother like before.

I'm happy for you.

Kato.

Thank you.

Goodbye. Have a nice life.

"Reika"

Hey?

I didn't die...

Oh, that fool...

That hypocrite!

"Kato-cha 100 points"

You think she was resurrected?

But...why, Kato?

How about your brother?

You'll have to join the game again.

You might die.

But I made a promise to her.

That's lame.

I can leave?

My brother's waiting at home!

You didn't tell Kato.

He used to fight with us.

Your brother's waiting.

Choose 3.

Kei...

If I had,

he'd resurrect everyone

who'd died in the game.

You're right.

I choose 3. Free me.

I never thought he'd be back!

He hasn't changed a bit.

Every time, it's the same for him.

He risks his life for others.

Kurono was like that too.

I'll do the same.

One day...

I'll get Kurono back.

I'm home!
