A pair of high school students, Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, are hit by a subway train after saving the life of a drunk homeless man who had fallen onto the tracks. Kurono and Kato find themselves transported, along with a number of other people who have also recently died, to a room inside a building in Tokyo. By way of green text that appears on the surface of a black sphere named Gantz the group is informed that they have to kill a little creature, apparently an alien, to survive. They are transported out of the building and Kato, Kurono and a girl named Kei Kishimoto attempt to return to their homes. The remaining participants are able to kill the alien using weapons provided by Gantz. After killing the small alien, a much larger and more menacing alien appears and kills most of the team excluding Kato, who wanted to save the little alien. |

The tall alien attacks Kato, making him fall from a bridge and finds Kurono and Kishimoto. Both of them try to escape but as the alien focuses on Kurono, he ends up alone. Before the alien attacks, Kato appears and tries to protect Kurono but is mortally wounded. Kurono is enraged and the black suit he was given by Gantz gives him enough strength to immobilize the alien. After that another teenager named Joichiro Nishi, who was among the other people from the building, kills the alien. After the alien's death, the survivors return to the building. The ones who return are Kurono, Kishimoto, Nishi and Kato, whose injures are healed. The ones who returned are given points by Gantz based on the aliens they killed. Kurono asks Nishi for answers and he responds that these missions will happen several times and that many people have already died. |

Nishi fights against Mr.Tanaka, but is badly injured when Tanaka shoots a type of sonic boom that explodes his eyes, ear drums and destroys his suit. Kato attempts to rescue him and bear hugs Tanaka. As a result, a dying bird emerges from within Tanaka and Kurono shoots it. Kato asks Nishi about how to escape the game, to which Nishi responds that one hundred points are required to exit the game, while he had ninety. Due to his severe injuries, Nishi dies while calling out to his mother. Despite the alien's death, the group is not transported like before, which leads them to suspect that there must be more aliens. Some people try to leave the area, but their heads explode when they step outside the designated boundary. As Kurono does not have his black suit to protect him, Kato tells him to stay away from the fights. However, Kurono is captured by two gangsters, who force him to enter a building that holds a multitude of Mr.Tanaka aliens. Kato, Kishimoto and a fashion model destroy several Tanakas from the city, but discover that several of their fellow fighters are dead. |

Kurono confronts Mr. Tanaka's boss, a giant violet bird that attempts to kill him when Kurono accidentally steps on one of the little birds. Kurono fires his X-gun to the ground continuously to make the entire building collapse. Kurono manages to escape, but the boss survives. The giant bird boss attacks Kurono, who uses his X-gun to kill it. The survivors return to the Tokyo building and learn that, depending on how many aliens they kill, they will accumulate more points. In the following days, the surviving gangster attempts to kill other gangsters, but his head explodes as he reveals the gun from Gantz. Kurono and Kishimoto have an argument, as Kurono notes Kishimoto is in love with Kato and not him, and she leaves his apartment. Kato, who was living with his younger brother in a house with their cruel adoptive mother, purchases a new apartment. Kato is later transported to the building along with the previous group of survivors. |

Sakuraoka is killed by the alien statue, which also kills all the other surviving members of the group except for Kato and the wounded Kurono. Kato decides to fight against the last alien and discovers that the statue has eaten the brain of one of his partners, which has given him the ability to speak as the dead teammate. Kato destroys its statue form; however, the alien then exits the statue body and takes a larger form. Once again, Kato destroys it, but he is killed at the same moment, leaving Kurono as the only survivor. Kurono reappears in the Tokyo tower uninjured and is overcome by depression as he realizes that he is alone. In the oncoming days, Kurono meets a new student from his school, Shion Izumi, who tells him that there is a website that contains information about Gantz. Kurono does not reveal his knowledge of Gantz, afraid that his head will explode. Later, Kurono is transported to the Tokyo building again, but this time he is the only one there. |

Kurono and Shion kill the Oni Alien by beheading it and the hunters are transported back to the room to receive their scores. This time, most of them are able to achieve 100 points. Kenzo uses his points to revive Hiroto. Reika, Yoshikazu and Daizemon all decide to use their points to revive Tae, Kato and Nishi who are then able to assist the other participants. However, when Kurono is about to revive somebody else, his partners tell him to ask Gantz to choose the option that allows him to exit the battle cycle. He reluctantly follows their advice and is able to return back to his normal life, with no memory of the Gantz activities. Since he does not remember anything, he also forgets that Tae was his girlfriend. This confuses him, since he still has her gifts and pictures. Kurono realizes that he lost his memories and attempts to get them back. |
