Nosebleed Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I feel like I don't have enough people to discuss this manga with so I thought why not open a thread and see if I can gather other people's opinions. This thread is meant to be used for discussion of the manga in general. I'm going to be talking mostly about Tokyo Ghoul:Re so if you have not read it or if you're just an anime watcher you probably shouldn't read ahead. You have been warned. So we're 4 chapters in and this manga is bugging me a little. First of all the new quinque investigators, I am seriously praying that someone explains to me what is the logic behind attempting to destroy ghouls by creating more "ghouls". I know they can't eat humans as long as they keep their RC cell count in check but seriously, what's the logic. And secondly this annoying time skip with no explanation was just as an awful start as the other manga's ending. I swear to god if there's no explanation of what happened after that ending I am going to rage. These are my main issues thus far with the manga. As far as the new characters, hard to judge with only 4 chapters but I sense the new quinque investigators are going to turn against CCG. Akira is still Akira, I never really liked her all that much. Sasaki feels like a more down to earth Kaneki and his helper (the eye patch dark lady) just seemed like a generic character. I seriously hope there's something interesting happening soon. I'm curious about Sasaki though, I'm pretty sure he was injected with Kaneki's Kakuhou as there seemed to be a glimpse of Kaneki in his dream, but there's no confirmation yet. This would mean that Kaneki has regrettably died, what a shame. I did think at one point Kaneki was alive and could be the rumored "Snake" but doesn't seem like it. Well, that's as far as I've judged this manga since nothing much happened yet. This Torso ghoul is probably just some minor villain so I don't think we're into any major arc yet. Thoughts?

Yukiru Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 How about Sasaki being Kaneki, his hair is growing black again since he's not freaking insane anymore, he also reacted strangely when we was told bon appetite. A friend pointed out Snake may be Nishio and Torso may be Tsukiyama, I don't believe in the latter. I really want Juuzo to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Tsukiyama appeard in the first chapter alive and well so I don't believe in the latter either. Don't know about Nishio, though. And i don't think Sasaki is Kaneki, I do believe he has Kaneki's Kakuhou though so just like Kaneki had with Rize he now has part of Kaneki's consciousness inside of him, somewhat.

Homaru Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I feel like torso is Shuu killing people because he lost Kaneki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibril Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'll flip if Sasaki isn't Kaneki. The hints for that is just too damn high~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Holy crap, Kaneki lives on! Though a shame to know he is no longer in the physical world. And it's rather ironic he was implanted in a dove. This could lead to some interesting plot developments. I really wonder where they'll take it from here. I thought serpent could be someone from Anteiku but i guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The non-physical Kaneki is the crazy centipede-masked Kaneki, there's still a chance of that panel meaning Haise is normal Kaneki who is trying to resist to his insane alter-ego. Also, seeing what Haise does with his fingers could mean that even if Kaneki is no longer in the physical world, he could become Haise's alterego. Remember how Kaneki sometimes resembled Rize? It happened with Tsukiyama and with Jason, we could see Haise becoming Kaneki. And for god's sake I want Kaneki back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibril Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I KNEW IT KANEKI IS ALIVE WOOOOOOOOO REJOICE EVEN IF HE'S JUST LIKE RIZE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Rize ended up being alive, though. And why would Haise be the only one with Kaneki's kagune when there are more than one person with Rize's? Haise has to be Kaneki, I can feel it!

Nosebleed Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yukiru even that's too desperate, let's just rejoice he's in Haise's consciousness, even if it's the crazy Kaneki. Though i do agree there could be a chance for the real Kaneki to be alive if they did with him what they did with Rize, but wouldn't that be kind of boring?

Nosebleed Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Nishio senpai~ That plot twist. Well it's kind of lame how Haise became half a ghoul just like Kaneki, yet they treat him like a human, unlike Kaneki. Silly CCG. This does however offer the possibility for Kaneki being alive, although that's just repeating the same path of the old manga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Isn't it confirmed now that Haise is brainwashed Kaneki? Or he could just be some dude that got Kaneki's Kakuhou implanted in them (like the quinque guys), we don't know yet. Reason I say this is only because he was seeing Kaneki inside his head so it could be the "2 soulds in one body" type of thing just like with Rize. Although I won't discard your possibility. I hadn't thought about it but it's actually an interesting path to take if it was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yeah, seems like the oldies are slowly coming back, can't wait to see that hunk. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Touka an SS Rank Ghoul? That's interesting, she must have become a big badass to be in Aogiri Tree now. So.. is Haise actually Kaneki but had his memories wiped out? I have no clue anymore, it'd be cool if he was though. God.. so much hype, Kaneki please come back! I'm thinking in a few chapters Haise and Touka will meet, and then something might go down in Haise's head. There's so much stuff that's different, I really want to piece all of it together.

Yukiru Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I think black bunny is Ayato, though. Aoigiri wanted to crush Anteiku and Toka-chan is unlikely to be there for various reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Could be, but didn't Ayato show up at the beginning of the manga with the rest of Anteiku? Why would he be the rabbit anyway? And I didn't sense he could become an SS Rank Ghoul either, I think it's Touka, although I could always be wrong, and I'm sure there's a reason for her to be in Aogiri Tree, it wouldn't be the first time I saw a good character switch sides.

Yukiru Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 That was Hinami with Ayato, and possibly the rest of Aoigiri. Ayato is stronger than Toka-chan as far as I know, and he also had a rabbit mask--a black one contrary to Toka-chan's white mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibril Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Woah, Ayato becomes stronger and went SS rank even though he got complete wrecked back then by Kaneki... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Woah, Ayato becomes stronger and went SS rank even though he got complete wrecked back then by Kaneki... Of course! Nishio became plenty badass as well. And it is now revealed how much time passed since V14 to Re. A nice time skip, if you ask me,not nine silly years like in FT but two nice and seemingly constant years. I'm weirded out at Arima, though. I found him to be likable in his series, but seeing him so friendly with Kaneki is just... weird... just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Chapter 9 So yeah, we get info on characters now, Ayato is still a hunk, Juuzo is more of a badass (apparently) and the rest, you guys read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
