In a recent chapter when [[spoiler:Sakurai, lamenting over his dead girlfriend proceeds to use his PsychicPowers to tear apart a bunch of the invading aliens, who are just casually snacking on captured humans.]] Even more recently, [[spoiler: the original Kurono singlehandedly takes down a squadron of the invading aliens on their home turf, with only his Gantz gun and katana]].
