Lol at the art-work. XD
Gantz in space sounds awesome, but I was thinking more along the lines of the new Gantz room being a space ship, and then when a mission starts the hunters are sent to another planet to fight certain aliens. Also, they live in the spaceship together, no longer going back to Earth unless you win your freedom.
That'd be awesome. <3
But anyway, yeah, this is not canon unless Oku specifically states it is. We already know it's not by him, but if Oku acknowledges that it is in consistency with his manga universe then it would be considered canon. Damn, I hope he would never acknowledge Minus or Exa as canon. EVER.

Didnt Minus end with Ooki leaving the room but being in the subway station when Kurono and Kato were hit? Didnt he say something like, "And so it begins" ?? ur right i hope this shit isnt canon

Hey hey hey Minus wasn't that bad. I can understand hating EXA because we know nothing about it except theres a dude and Kishimoto.
But Minus had some backstory and character development damnit. Ooki and Akari were awesome. The aliens were very well thought out and carried the Gantz feeling and theme. And Hikawa, Nishi and Izumi. Whats there too hate? The picture panels were great and didn't suck like EXA's do.

I thought iread somewhere that minus WAS cannon. Thats the messed up thing. So did I. Thought it would be canon as soon as it came out. Until Fayrra said it wasn't.

Hey hey hey Minus wasn't that bad. I can understand hating EXA because we know nothing about it except theres a dude and Kishimoto. You SHOULDN'T hate Exa because you know nothing about it. Hating something because you know nothing about it is a terrible reason to hate something. lol But Minus had some backstory and character development damnit. Ooki and Akari were awesome. The aliens were very well thought out and carried the Gantz feeling and theme. And Hikawa, Nishi and Izumi. Whats there too hate? Well, none of it was made by Oku. It was both written and drawn by other people. Meaning none of it came from Oku's mind. Making all of the back stories pointless. If it is a canon back story, I would prefer it from Oku, not someone else. I don't hate Minus, it's just that I wouldn't want it to be considered canon. It's not just that it didn't come from Oku, though, either (though that is the main reason). It's also that "see the future" alien as well. Ugh, I definitely hated that fucking thing. "Kurono is special, oooooh." Like this is the god damn terminator or some shit. And it also implies that all aliens are in league with each other as well. But it seems pretty obvious that these current invasion aliens are only out for their own race. Or, if you take the "see the future" alien's predictions as only applicable toward the aliens that are being hunted in Gantz, then Kurono wasn't that special at all. Best he did was barely win against the Lighting Oni. Which was only like 50-60 points tops. Also, like Dawg mentioned, it also shows Ooki saying "and so it begins" at the end, when he was supposed to have all of his memories of Gantz erased. So not only is it not by Oku, it also introduced more plot holes. The primary reason I wouldn't want Exa considered canon is because Oku didn't make it, of course. Also, I assumed Minus was not canon because Oku didn't make it, and unless specifically stated by Oku himself that it was canon, it really wouldn't be considered canon. By default if it wasn't made by the author, then it is not considered canon until proved otherwise.

There was a connection between Ooki and the specimen alien. Something happened in thier fight I think. And Ooki aquired the aliens future seeing power after he killed it. And thats why he knows Gantz is going to start even if his memory is erased. Also I think the specimen alien was special, and was only out to kill Kurono because maybe he is the one who saves the world. We don't know that yet either. I doubt the specimen alien cares about other aliens. Thats dumb but it's all I got. I like minus due to it featuring all 3 of my favorite characters, and I will take it as canon. It's not translated yet so we can't really argue until we read it fully ourselves. Those plotholes could be explained. Oh and heres chapter 8 Chapter xxx8

Guns and suits look pretty much the same to me.
That does look like Kurono, but if it is, then surely this can't be canon?
I'm loving all these Gantz spin-offs, but what I'd really like to see is one spin-off in which the characters from it might appear in the main Gantz storyline. We know that's can't happen with Minus, and I don't think it will with this either. But seeing past missions of some of the guys that have just appeared in the room (from Kyoto, Hokkaido etc) would be awesome.

I so wish Minus and EXA were made in to english, or someone at least posted the scripted/novel. I would so heart to read it, as going to Uni and learning the language just to read it sounds like alot of work...boo
