Several players meet with gruesome ends as the living statues continue their onslaught. Tragically, one of the mutilated victims is someone very dear to Kato and Kei.

Kei returns to the Gantz and finds many familiar faces will be joining him in battle. Unfortunately, Kei is shocked to see that their alien prey wears a familiar face as well.

With no explanation, the Gantz has chosen Kei to be hunted. At first, the rest of the players are unsure of what they should do - but the black sphere soon helps them decide that Kei should die.

The new players are beginning to see just how dangerous the two bum-killing freaks really are. As the situation escalates, the members of the team look to the one person who might be able to help them survive - Kei.

Kato is forced to take action to save Nishi from certain death, but he may not be ruthless enough to kill the Suzuki alien. Time is running out for yet another player trapped in the cruel world of the Gantz.

Kei is on a rampage, leading the battle against the giant aliens. Unfortunately, when the towering beasts fall, the group discovers that their fight to survive is only just beginning.

Without his suit, Kei finds himself in serious jeopardy when he captures the attention of the Suzuki alien. Nishi ends up in even graver danger when his suit malfunctions at the worst possible time.

The team’s efforts to defeat the giant aliens are hindered by two thugs who are brutally tormenting a homeless man - the very same homeless man that Kei and Kato encountered just before their deaths.

A new round begins for the gang. Appearing before the Gantz, they find themselves joined by a diverse group of fresh players. As the game gets underway, Kei panics when he realizes his suit is nowhere to be found.

When Kato shares what he knows in an effort to help the new players, the evangelist begins to think something sinister is afoot. The holy man learns just how correct he is as the game’s new targets make their presence known.

Despite his best efforts, Kei remains unsatisfied during Kishimoto’s overnight stay at his apartment. At the place Kato calls home, more ugly evidence of abuse piles up.

The Gantz calls the players for another round. Among the new faces gathered before the sphere: a television evangelist that thinks he has all the answers and a girl who seems willing to give Kei the attention he seeks.

The scores are tallied and Nishi explains some of what he knows about the rules of the strange world of the Gantz. The unusual situation grows even odder the next day when Kei wakes - and finds that this nightmare is no dream.

Change is in the air for the players of the deadly game. Fed up with his aunt, Kato finds a new place to live with his little brother. Meanwhile, Kei’s attitude pushes Kishimoto away, and Tetsu’s life spirals brutally out of control.

The Gantz opens, revealing unusual weaponry and odd suits. The strangers are sent into the city, ordered to kill an alien that roams the streets - and then the carnage begins.

After Kei and his childhood friend, Kato, are torn into bloody pieces by a speeding train, they awake in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by strangers. In the middle of the room is a bizarre black sphere: the Gantz.
