My Word how can they defeat this thing?!
It's like incredibly strong, and it refuses to die!
Or maybe it is dead and the last attack was a dying gift.
Who knows really moving on to 25!
I wish to read about 3 volumes or something in the next week.

Okay so alot more fighting in this volume. The strongest of the new team take o the big bad. This dude pretty much beats them all. Then one of the new team members fucks its giant face...no, not joking. He fucks it, cums, and the creature spits him away so he survives. Then mech man comes and it's basically gundam verse big fucking creature.
So yeah...fun but oh so stupid.

This is a review of the entire series.
Synopsis: Gantz tells the story of a teenager named Kei Kurono, among others, who die but find themselves brought back in perfectly healthy bodies and forced to participate in a "game" where they must hunt down and kill aliens.
Review: I almost gave up on Gantz several times, but now that I've read it all the way to the end, I'm glad I stuck with it. The beginning is dragged down by repulsive and unlikable characters, a messily paced story, unnecessary sexualization and gratuitous violence without much substance. As it progresses, however, the character development becomes pretty incredible and the growing threat of the enemies feels truly well done. Once the real enemies are revealed, it's mind-blowing how the series had been secretly foreshadowing their arrival from the very beginning.
Although it takes a while, some really good characters are introduced later on in the series and they're the ones that made me want to read to the end. Some characters that were absolutely unbearable in the beginning became polar opposites of their original selves and even made me sympathize with them quite a bit. The protagonist Kei for example, I hated him with all my heart for the first third of the series, he became progressively more likable in the second third of the story and then he evolved into one of the most memorable, unlikely heroes I've ever seen in this storytelling medium throughout the final third. The last third of the series is unbelievably terrifying with some of the most gruesome and disgusting battle/survival scenes in the history of fiction. It's much more bearable and intense in the final third because this time the violence and horror is happening to people we actually care about instead of a bunch of unlikable nobodies.
The final third of the story is what made me feel so glad that I didn't give up on this series. It had me on the edge of my seat more times than I can recall. There are a ton of chapters but they're very short and full of action which makes the series a quick read despite having almost 400 chapters. So even though the first third of the story was kinda bad in my opinion, it doesn't last for long and the payoff that comes after it's over truly impressed me. It's a flawed, thrilling and horrifying action series that takes a while to kick off. When it finally kicks off, however, it kicks off extremely hard.

Kniha "Gantz 24" je takový Hiroja Oku, kterého budete znát t většiny dílů, je to akční autor, který upřednostňuje hodně stránek akce nad tím, aby se někam posunul příběh. A možná i nad tím, aby příběh dával nějaký větší smysl. Ač pořád doufám, že v tomhle směru ho trochu podceňuji. I přesto ale kniha "Gantz 24" trochu vybočuje, je lepší než to, co jsme v posledních dílech od autora dostávali. Jsou tu přece jen zajímavé nápady, které jsou dotažené skoro k dokonalosti. Není jich mnoho, většinu stránek pořád jen zabírá akce, ale sem tam probleskne to, proč mít sérii rád. A to je fajn. Třeba se to povede ještě v nějakém z následujících čísel. Bylo by to fajn, protože Hiroja Oku pořád dovede být tak krásně pubertálně ujetý, což se mi na něm vždycky líbilo.

Chapter-265: 💀
Oka (Osaka Gantz player who cleared the game 7 times) vs. 100 points alien
The 100 points alien refuses to die even after defeating it multiple times.
Chapter-270: "Despite this suit in grade school, I played Ping Pong". WTF is this dialogue?!. This one too: "I'm studying Karate..., through an online class that is."
Chapter-271: 100 points alien's dick 💀
Chapter-272: No! The kid got hurt.

Continúa la batalla contra el jefe de los aliens mitológicos, y los equipos de Tokyo y Osaka sienten aumentar su desesperación cuando cada vez que parece que está por morir cambiar a una forma cada vez más mortal. Entra en escena Hachira Oka, el miembro del equipo de Osaka que obtuvo 100 puntos 7 veces, con su arsenal de armas y su traje mega cheto.
April 4, 2018
El enemigo contra el que se enfrentan ha superado con crecer al equipo de Osaka (incluyendo al "hombre más poderoso del mundo") y el equipo de Tokio parece que no será capaz de vencerlo. Además ¿qué demonios está pasando con Gantz? la historia se hace más rara cada vez y eso que ya vamos por la recta final.

And the fight goes on. Crazy-ass antics from the Osaka team as usual (though they do get their come-uppance) and a giant robot vs kaiju fight too. Talk about not wanting to miss out on tropes. The shapeshifter alien is so hopelessly overpowered I can't imagine how the author plans on having the Gantz team kill it. I hope it doesn't turn out to be lame.

Gantz is a series where a group of recently dead humans battle aliens in the real world in uniforms that look like black spandex. This was an episode where the aliens were very complicated, I'm not sure who killed who or how and the ending was vague. Otherwise, I like the series.

The boss fight this time is super messy. Oka had finally made an appearance and I have a hunch even with him clearing Gantz 7 times still gonna take him some time to beat the boss, he is super OP af.

Битва з босом аж занадто затягнулася. Всі, хто міг, вже отримали люлєй, залишився лише рейтинговий лідер Осаки. Просто суцільна бійка, де ті, хто слабше, гинуть або тікають поза очі. У боса багато фаз, кожна фаза з особливостями. Візит до меха-жанру підтвердився.

The suit of the guy who cleared 100 points 7 times is cool and all but doesn't look like it'd be effective in a fight.

Pues es la batalla con el jefe
Y sale el tipo que ha ganado 6 veces, con su traje especial y toda la cosa
Buena pelea
Mi pregunta es ¿poque hace eso al final?

Big fight with 2 teams trying to take down a 100 point foe. Many casualties. The fight continues....

Un combat absolument dantesque. Les multiples métamorphoses du monstre mettent les combattants à l'épreuve ... et mes nerfs aussi (notament lors du passage du début qui voit l'un des combattants escalader l'espèce de multi-femme pour s'y masturber à l'aise).
Et puis, surprise, on voit apparaître un nouveau combattant qui pourrait être un robot géant style Gundam (c'est mentionné dans la bd), mais qui n'est en fait qu'une espèce de diversion louche pour l'un des super monstres.
Le plus fou, c'est que la fin, malgré tout ce qui se passe dans ce tome, soit aussi ouverte. Honnêtement, je suis intrigué.

Reseña retroactiva que supongo que voy a aplicar a varios tomos de la serie: Gran serie en general, con muchos altibajos y cosas que no cierran del todo, pero que algún día se va a ganar una maratón. Eso sí, no creo que sea en esta edición, cuya traducción quedó vieja (y pedorra) muy rápido, sino en la nueva Deluxe, que seguramente está con el estándar de calidad actual que le pasa el trapo a aquellos años grises.

Hiroya Oku likes to put large obtrusive sound effects on top of all the artwork, which is distracting as hell, but then half the words in the book are sounds effects. He could learn a thing or two from Blame. This volume had a couple really bad one-liners. And the battle is dragging on. I'm getting fatigued.
