GANTZ

Introduction of the cruel selfish setting, Korono Kei, and Kato Masaku. This episodes ends with the first sight of the black sphere known only as Gantz and a couple of the other characters who will play more important roles later on. Most of the episode is done with the Korono's internal monologue.

Green onions are enough for me. That's what the poor little alien says, but green onions aren't enough for the trigger happy alien hunters who are being controlled by the black ball known as Gantz. After seeing a dog going down on a girl, and the same girl nearly getting raped, you'd think it couldn't get worse right? Wrong. In this episode, we see just how rutheless the "dead" can be when given space age weapons and a mission.

The new Gantz participants have to face off against a really nasty alien.

Kei, Katou and Kishimoto learn from Nishi about the scoring system involved in the alien hunt. Nishi also tells them about boundaries and ground rules when they are not transported to fight aliens.

Now that Kurono, Kato, and Kishimoto are alive again, they can return to their regular lives… or can they? What trouble awaits the three in the future? Are they really alive? And, can Kurono survive a fight with a school bully?

After finding Kishimoto asleep at his door, Kurono has one lucky streak after the other. Eventually, Kishimoto asks if she can stay with him! Kato is, however, unaware of Kishimoto’s problems. Will she tell him? Meanwhile, everyone else has problems of their own...

Kurono and Kishimoto decide to head to Kishimoto’s old house to see what the "other Kishimoto is like". What will they discover? Meanwhile, Kato is having trouble at home, with his aunt beating his littler brother, and at school, with bullies picking on his friends. When a senior challenges him to a fight, will he go too far?

Gantz calls Kurono, Kishimoto, Kato, and Nishi once again. But, who else will it call and what new mission does it have for them?

The bikers kick Tetsu out of the gang, Kurono doesn't have his suit, Nishi badmouths everyone, then the hunt for the Suzuki alien begins.

Kurono, without a suit, follows the Suzuki alien until he makes it mad, then leads it to the others. Nishi and the alien face off in the canal.

Kato takes on the alien.

The team splits. Kato, Kishimoto and Hojo go after the other Suzuki aliens. Kato's suit runs out of power. Kurono, Testu & Haruya find the rest.

Kurono faces off against the main alien alone. The survivors get their scores.
