Plot
Plot
A group of high school students, led by Kei Kurona, die in a bus accident on their way to a school trip. They suddenly awaken inside an abandoned school building, where they encounter a mysterious black sphere known as Gantz, along with two experienced participants, Fujimoto and Abiko. They explain that they have been brought back to life to participate in a series of deadly missions. The group is forced to wear specialized suits and hunt extraterrestrial targets, with the promise that earning 100 points will grant them freedom, while death in the game results in their death in reality. During their first mission, the students are transported to a zoo and ordered to eliminate a target. Most of them ignore the warnings and are quickly killed, leaving only Kei Kurona, Yoshiko Miyazaki, Kimiko Ikegami, Ai Morishita, and Meiko Kaji. After returning to their normal lives, the survivors train under Fujimoto and Abiko to prepare for future missions. In a subsequent mission at an aquarium, the group face a powerful alien that can spawn numerous creatures. Both Fujimoto and Abiko are killed during the battle, forcing the remaining students to fight on their own. Kei devises a strategy to restrain the alien while the others attack, leading to its defeat. After the mission, Ikegami uses the 100-point reward system to resurrect a fallen participant, and the survivors continue their lives while preparing for the next summons, eventually taking on the role of guiding new players in the deadly game.
