[Discuss] Wasted potential

Post image

We just had a arc where a character dresses up as a black person to throw off suspension from his mass shooting and then we get actaul black people

I dont even need all of them to survive if 1 of them survives it would make him want to avenge the others by killing the vampires and the drama with izumi couldve been great and also highlight japans xenophobia with his legal troubles

The real qustion is why would this get scrapped

I was always sad these guys died because them embracing Kurono like that is one of the moments that really helped change him for the better.

And its also diffrent from how they treates him in the buhhda mission where kureno is getting shown love for his strength and not less shallow praise that boost his ego and revenge

There are a lot of characters where it’s a shame they get killed off so fast. Although that’s always gonna be a problem with a “kill them all” series, sometimes the likable characters get killed off very fast to make you feel awful

A fully fleshed out gantz would probably be so long it would still contuie till 2020

All of his work is like this. I love Gantz, but Gantz and all of his work has so much wasted potential or less interesting directions. He comes up with so many cool concepts, but his execution is everywhere. Even in Giganta he would bring up stuff then it's just gone forever and goes nowhere.

highlight japans xenophobia with his legal troubles

Tu sabes la razón.

Es una pena porque estás caracteres fueron geniales y quiero ver más de estos, especialmente la relación entre kurono

Man, the vampires took out many good people on that mission alone, including the family.

u/key1146 21d ago

Ehh i dont think they would add any value

u/No_Laugh9993 20d ago

Let me jump into this too! Yeah, it really wastes opportunity. The Tokyo team will grow even stronger with them fully joining the battle. Not much they can do at first without knowing anything. Same goes with Kurono on his first mission. Now with Kurono himself, he knows most of the stuff about Gantz and grow. Imagine how these guys are able to contribute. Like feat with Daizaemon or something. Heck, even Rekka and Suzuki are able to do something. And to be fair, I think there are many more wasted opportunities in the series, and that kinda ticks me off.

Não acho que foi descartado, apenas não estava nos planos. Me considero relativamente progressista, mas não vi sentido em como ter algum caçador negro ajudando nas missões ajudaria a "aliviar" as acusações de que Gantz é racista. Os Vizards em Bleach ou Neji em Naruto Shipuden são elementos desperdiçados, pous claramente o autor queria trabalhar isso, mas caçadores negros a partir da missão dos dinossauros nunca esteve nos planos. Essa é minha visão.

It dosent need to ease any accusations becaude they are fun characters on thier own

u/UnquestionabIe 19d ago

Remember when this chapter first came out (one of the first I read new as I had finally caught up) and my one friend in our unofficial college manga club was all "was that the Wu-Tang Clan?"

u/Ok__videogames 14d ago

Yeah was hoping one would survive at least, and then get telported back to tokyo after going home thinking that would keep him safe or something then dying.

Like how id all three of them die in the first place?
