Cover Page

Kei Kishimoto is seen nude wearing nothing but a pair of Gantz Suit Gloves and a pair of socks. She is seen crouching down while leaning forward causing her breasts to touch her thighs, and an X-Gun can be seen in front of her.

Synopsis

The chapter begins directly after the end of the previous one, with the group running through the temple in an attempt to escape from their alien targets. This is just before the aliens send of a massive gust of air, blowing them all forwards and causing Musō Tokugawa to cut open the bottom of his left foot. Masaru Kato tells anyone without a suit to get behind those with suits and to fire on the aliens, but Musō does not listen and runs away in the opposite direction. Several others including Akitoshi Okazaki says that the situation is hopeless and retreats further up the stairs, causing Masaru to tell the suit team to fire on the aliens instead. One of the aliens slams its foot down before they can do so, however, and kicks Masaru back by several metres.

The chapter then cuts back to Musō, who is far away from the rest of the team when another massive Buddha alien confronts him. Musō begins saying chants, believing that it calms down the aliens, and the chapter ends with Musō being killed as the alien crushes him under its massive palm.
