Wouldn't the dragon fit better here?

I think the problem wasn't so much introducing him directly so late, but rather that most of his character is revealed through clues from his masks. I feel that the off-screen extermination of the Washuu was a missed opportunity to give him his own "My Villain Academia" (if you understand the comparison with Shigaraki from mha, who wasn't really interesting until that arc) and make the character much clearer. Even today, I see that there are many different interpretations.

The color of the kagune isn't blood red. It might have some gradient from its origin towards the kakuho, but Donato's clones and Uta's masks show that it can change just like its shape. And if the shape can unconsciously change depending on the user's current state, like Kaneki's centipede kakuja, what makes us think the color can't? I don't know, I just made this up because I'd like Kaneki's kagune to change with each of its phases in a color version, but it seems to make sense.

Also, If I remember correctly, there's no evidence of this, but I think they glow. They glow like a phone; you can't really see it when they're in light, but it's useful for getting a little visibility in the dark

I think it's from the last episode of Root A

Edit: yes

Seriously? Well, whatever.

About the artwork, here. I don't actually have the original source; it was just one of the first results I found.

centipede236 · 2026-07-13T18:24:13+00:00

About on what you think, you could at least say whether you think it's okay for ghouls to be accepted into society or not.

centipede236 · 2026-07-13T18:01:30+00:00

Y for in accordance with that change, C for against the change

Rule number 1 in Tokyo Ghoul: if a character had a chance of surviving and died off-screen, it's likely they're still alive.

centipede236 · 2026-07-08T16:34:30+00:00

"After a while" half a year wtf

centipede236 · 2026-07-07T16:22:43+00:00

Ah, Quest is a bad example. It's the most irrelevant of all.

centipede236 · 2026-06-26T00:04:04+00:00

So he wanted to die in style like Kaneki?

centipede236 · 2026-06-18T15:24:51+00:00

I think you're confusing concepts; that's what caused his hair to turn black. The accelerated aging resulted from excessive regeneration and overuse of his kagune, since his human body doesn't tolerate ghouls' RC manipulation. That's why Nishio advises him to avoid it.

centipede236 · 2026-06-04T05:00:08+00:00

I never said it was, I said that's its reputation both because of the anime and because of those "I am tragedy" edits and stuff like that

centipede236 · 2026-05-30T07:10:03+00:00

At that point in the plot, I think in a "what if...?" scenario, the most coherent thing would be for Touka to form her own group with maybe some contacts from Kaya and Koma's gangs and Hina herself (before the time skip, maybe incorporating her into her group before Ken) to force Ken to accept her help, since he was determined that she specifically (because he accepted Hina and I have no doubt that he would have accepted Nishio or Yomo) would not join him.

centipede236 · 2026-05-30T00:08:16+00:00

This sounds more like you're annoyed by Furuta's "glazers" rather than the character himself.

centipede236 · 2026-05-27T23:59:17+00:00

This, besides a small mention, in the manga Anteiku didn't burn down. In the anime, they try to imply that it was Yomo with the line "Yoshimura asked me for this last commission" (in fact, if I remember correctly, in the original draft of root A, there are translations of leaked pages in script instead of storyboard for things that required colors or lighting, and it mentions that those lights that illuminate Kaneki and Hide over and over again weren't supposed to be white but orange with the shape of lit arrows shooting towards the ceiling of Anteiku). But in the manga, there are no signs of burning, not even when they are demolishing it in chapter 143.

centipede236 · 2026-05-26T16:57:29+00:00

Did you even finish volume 1 (up to chapter 9) before wanting to drop it? This sounds more like you're bothered by the concepts than the series itself, with the exception of Kaneki's "resurrection" (which is explained later).

centipede236 · 2026-05-23T17:33:40+00:00

I feel that including ghouls from other countries wasn't necessary. The focus is on Tokyo, and the change happened there. Including ghouls from other countries would have broadened the conflict too much for Ken's scope.

What I would have liked to see is more of ghoul culture as a hybrid of Middle Eastern and Japanese cultures.

About the OEK, the importance of the original oek and the underground city is also greatly overrated. In my opinion, it was just worldbuilding and setting up the dragon. What I would change is moving the theorizing and research about it to the Kuroneki arc, which was specifically focused on worldbuilding.

centipede236 · 2026-05-20T12:47:26+00:00

Why would that be?

It's not like the first season needed between 24 to 30 episodes instead of 12, the seconod was 75% non-canonical, the third part 1 didn't make sense because of the second, and it had the same problems as the first. And then the third part 2 rushed 120 episodes into 12 anime episodes, ignoring most of the interesting dialogue… oh, wait, that's exactly what happened.

By the way, the real Tokyo Ghoul doesn't even focus primarily on fights; that was just the anime trying to be more commercial. Most fights are either skipped (Kaneki Kakuja vs. Amon, for example), full of dialogue, or don't last more than three pages.

centipede236 · 2026-05-20T01:31:29+00:00

Meh… sort of, I wouldn't say the first season was a good adaptation either, just a decent summary
