i didn't realize this until this post. it's right. every other big name death stakes story is kinda shit, except for maybe death note.
battle royale is cry a lot and get carried and do nothing the whole time until very triumphantly-- actually i can't remember if he even takes the final shot. and then they go on a boat to korea or america or something.
parasyte storytime just ended and i just did not care about anyone except reiko or kana or migi (uragami was ok). everyone of consequence disappears or dies by the end and it's as if nothing ever happened and the world is now safe for democracy.
i thought kurono was generic the first time i read it but now i see "generic" is actually difficult. it is not actually normal to have a protagonist that goes fuck you i'm going to win and a story where he goes about doing that and then presents winning as actually good. more common to have crybabies that do nothing and get handed everything, or do nothing and just lose and the audience nods their heads and goes 'that's very mature and realistic'. but it's just shit.

gantz is straightforward and unapologetic. it's great.
