Tokyo Ghoul:re

I'd say something is fishy.

Really good in-depth look at this whole situation: True Tragic Consequence (also Karma).

 

TL;DR:

Spoiler

• Kaneki repeatedly ignored others' warnings about many of the situations the consequences of which he's now experiencing.
• He only trusted his own judgement, never really believing in his comrades and taking their opinions into account.
• He failed to learn from his mistakes, and reality finally caught up to him. This was the natural result of relying only upon himself.

It's just silly though because he DID learn from his mistakes go reread the end of TG, Kaneki has been out of character for the sake of the story which is just bad writing imo. There's a reason why I think TG is a decent story while TG:Re is a trainwreck. Ishida has been pumping as much drama as possible into the story and not caring at all about the integrity of it. The point being not once in the entire duration of TG:Re have I ever felt that Kaneki has gone back to being the Kaneki that we cared about in TG. And you can say "oh well ofc that's the case he's changed since then" but then we wouldn't be having the argument that he never changed would we? The point being that even Ishida kept shoving in the manga too that 'he's back, he's back!'.

The fact that over half of TG:Re is about Ishida baiting bringing Kaneki back is already bad enough. I'd said as soon as this series was announced that the best possible move was to create a new protagonist and having Haise as a red herring. Kaneki can return but as his own character. We spent half the series learning about Haise when it no longer matters, he was a plot device the entire time instead of being a new interesting character we could care about. Other characters that could've been decent main characters got shoved to the side. Let's also not mention tons of decent side characters getting killed off for the sake of drama.

I mean can you even compare any of the developments or arcs in TG:Re to the original series? The anteiku arc at the end of TG was an orgasm of emotions for everyone. Kaneki/Amon rematch, Owls first real appearance, the manager (someone we cared about) going to his death and Kaneki trying to save/stop him. Let's also not forget that at this point Yomo was still cool and assumed to be one of the stronger TG crew (unlike in :Re).

Almost every :Re arc has consisted of not-Kaneki getting into trouble and having to 'give in' to his inner demon to become the strong and win. Seriously how many times is this that he gets fucked up immediately? I think this is like the fifth time. Not to mention him jobbing like this is immediately after he supposedly becomes legitimately strong enough to get Arima to notice. The fuck is up with the power levels. He's fought Kakuja enhanced people before and handled it decently while being insane at the same time.

And then after all the TG development for Juuzo his whole plotline here is "I'm Arima but better". Awesome. In the original it was about him being a complete ass growing up and then regaining his emotions/humanity at the end.

I just can't care anymore man. TG ended long ago and :Re is fanfiction to me.

what...

I seriously have mixed feelings now. I mean, we went through 300 fucking chapters and i don't see any progress being made with Kaneki. He man himself up, sure. Became the bridging-gap between human and ghoul, yeah. Arima passed the baton to him, became the next One-Eyed King, ok. Heck, he's now even the leader of the Ghoul side.

But what do we get after all of these achievements? None. Fucking zero. Kaneki still lost. He's the epitome of a loser. I get it, Ishida himself wrote that if Kaneki were to be the main character of a story, it'd end in a tragedy. I get it, believe me, i do. But still, what are men if not creatures of hope?

Tl;dr this fucking manga keeps on making me depressed but for some fucking reason I still come back every week to read another chapter of it.

what the f

*desperately press continue*

Yo bartender, gimme another glass of that fuck-me-up for the twentieth time. I swear this will be my last one.

TL;DR:

LOL it got me thinking, what if Touka and her baker best friend met in a torture chamber somewhere in the CCG?

They'd be like, "Oh hi girl I'm preggy now~ What kinda torture are you getting today?"

 

Spoiler

if Hinami dies I will drop this fucking series

Man, the BS of the CCG just keeps getting deeper.

It's up to  my chin so I might wait until the end to binge before it ends up in my mouth.

Yeah, just read recent chapter.

Which genius suggested putting the same block of text multiple times just about every page they appeared? 

it was on purpose numbnuts

If Kaneki is the one who saved Hinami, I expect him to go medieval on Juuzou's bony arse in the next chapter. One does not simply hurt most precious girl.

god bless deus ex-machina savings  ... most precious girl doesn't deserve a bad end.

where's chapter 61?

That Saiko cover.
Someone else pointed this out, but haven't the human characters been getting much more powerful? Not that I'm really complaining, the heavier focus on action is more to my taste, although there are plenty of non-action scenes I like (most of the Quinx scenes, also Touka and Akira at the park). It just feels like the internal logic/rules of the series have been slowly chipped away.
 
On the chapter, though: (spoiler tags because this is a long comment, read if you like talking plot/theory stuff)

Spoiler

As for who just smashed in to say hi, I'll put them in order of how likely they are (I think) and any plot holes/reasons for them not to be there.
I'm not alone in thinking it's Rize and the kagune looks like hers, Furuta says it's V, who Rize is connected to, although she was a captive last time we saw her.
 
Eto claimed to be dying, but she's a master manipulator who almost always lies, and we've seen her regenerate from half a body before. The kagune doesn't look quite right though.
 
Kaneki is the one we know is alive and the kagune does look right, but if it's him, how did he get back so quickly?
 
The last time we saw the other Quinx members, Sack Mask/Nagachika was asking them to help him for an unknown purpose. Saiko's kagune is massive and can demolish walls, roofs and stuff like they're toys, but it doesn't look like hers (but she can change its shape freely). She might be on the cover for a good reason.
 
Where did Akira and Amon go? They said they didn't want to stay with Kaneki's people, and that kagune doesn't look like Amon's mutant-arm attack, but there aren't any other reasons I can think of.
 
Takizawa said his duty was done, and didn't stick around, and the kagune doesn't really look like his. He'd have yelled something weird while making his entrance, too.
 
Most of the stuff that applies for Takizawa goes for Yasuhina, although she does have a major reason to pursue Suzuya.

If this really was Kaneki, how the f did he come back really fast?

I think kaneki went back guys look at the drawing shuu, nishiki and I forgot the last one where the heck did kaneki go

I get the feeling that Hinami still got hit on page 17. Just look where his weapon landed!

Although, I don't think she will die for real. She's a major character since the beginning and it would be a really cruel thing to kill "imouto" off.
