Capture (捕獲, Hokaku) is the 51st chapter of the Gantz manga, written and illustrated by Hiroya Oku.
Cover Page[]
We see the shadowed front of the Tanaka's Boss, with Masaru Kato's face in Gantz Suit and Kei Kurono's face without, superimposed on top of it. Kurono is seen holding an X-gun.
Synopsis[]
The chapter begins directly after the end of the previous one, with Haruya Numata's decapitated corpse falling in front of Kei Kurono, Kei Kishimoto, Masaru Kato, Masanobu Hojo and Tetsuo Nemoto. The Tanaka Boss Alien responsible for the murder then drops down in front of Masanobu, causing everyone present to freeze in shock for several moments before it turns to Kurono and begins shrieking. This snaps Masanobu out of his trance and he attempts to fire on the alien with his X-Gun, but the Tanaka Alien smacks him backwards before he can do so, causing him to be blasted back several metres and directly in front of Sadayo Suzumura, who was assumably watching the situation(or just Masanobu) from a distance.
The Alien then begins chasing Kurono, who attempts to run away. He does so to no avail, however, as he is picked up in the Tanaka Aliens talons by his arms and is carried up into the air. The chapter ends with Kurono continuing to be taken higher, Masaru and Kishimoto shouting in panic, and Tetsuo simply stating "He's dead".
