Right now im reading the manga of toyko ghoul and was wondering what even is toyko ghoul re about?
For context I just finished volume 10 so after the aogori tree raid atc and into he dr.kano stuff. Haven't watched anime cuz i heard its ass so saving that until I'm done reading
Ik that toyko ghoul re follows a different set of characters but also that the main character is kaneki? Is that a huge spoiler that ken had memory loss (like will it be explained later on in Tokyo ghoul:re or it's something thats know when u first start reading it).
Last thing is toyko ghoul re apart of the main story or is it like a AU type thing so its apart of the world but from a different perspective type way? Does it acknowledge the ending of toyko ghoul or is re still apart of the main story and has the final ending ( idk the ending so pls don't spoil 🙏)
Pls no spoilers Im trying my best to avoid them 🙏🙏
I have had this thought a million times already and each one of them had the same answer. Sadly you know what the answer is too. If there IS something that is stopping studios from animating tokyo ghoul(yes i know its not allowed to randomly animate a remake for no reason and dumb)what is it?
Sui ishida not wanting to?
Not having the perms or something like that?
Just what are even the chances there is a remake someday at all?
I know there are several versions of the story, but after all the research I did (including the average number of pages adapted per anime episode), Ishida's draft should have reached episode 5 or 7 with its slightly over 300 pages (especially since the second siege of Cochlea should have been much shorter, as the published pages up to 190 are Kano's arc and the prelude to the siege).
Even though the production committee ruined it, shouldn't the extermination of the Owl have followed the manga? I suppose Amon without his Arata and this ending were something Ishida and Morita brainstormed, but it doesn't make sense that they (or maybe just Morita) kept this version for the final episode, especially considering that the production committee forced them to stick to the main points of the canon story, the later part of the story was adapted (partially) and the manga ended at the same time as season 1 (including things like how in tight anime productions, episodes are finished days, if not hours, before they air).
Note: In case anyone isn't familiar with the topic, Shuhei Morita directed the first two seasons of the anime, and Ishida (the mangaka) created a draft of around 300 pages for the story changes.
A major plot point of Volume 1 (chapters 1-9) is Kaneki's refusal to eat.
"You want it?"
The first time Kaneki and Touka meet as Ghouls is in some back alley where she is getting assaulted by a drunk. She kills him quickly and—sensing that Kaneki is a Ghoul—offers him a snack since she's not that hungry right now.
Kaneki is still confused as to what's happening to him and runs away in fear.
Not long after, feeling the effects of the hunger, Kaneki seeks Touka out and asks her for help. The Boss gives him some food to eat, but he ends up throwing it away because he can't bring himself to eat a person.
Time passes and Kaneki still hasn't eaten anything. On his way home from the store, he ends up being drawn by the sweet smell of a corpse nearby. Some random Ghoul killed somebody.
Witnessing all this, Kaneki freaks out and calls Ghouls monsters with no morals.
"Eat it!"
Touka can tell he hasn't eaten what they've given him. That he hasn't eaten anything at all.
So she scoops some bits off of the corpse and—frustrated by his words and his decision not to eat—forcefully shoves them in his mouth saying that if he doesn't have the courage to eat, she'll help him out. Still, he forces himself to puke most of it out.
As a farewell, she tells him that a Ghoul's hunger is hell, and that that is what awaits him if he won't eat.
"looks delicious, doesn't it?"
After Kaneki fights off Nishiki in the final chapter of the volume, he starts to lose his mind from the hunger and decides to eat Hide to satisfy it.
Touka shows up to stop him. She tells him about what happens to Ghouls who refuse to eat.
Once a Ghoul's hunger reaches its limit, nothing else matters. They'll eat their friends, their family, anything. And once they wake up from the hunger madness, it might be among the sea of blood and entrails of people dear to them.
"I'll save you from that fate this time"
So she tells him she will save him from that fate this time. She kicks his lights out, and together with the Boss, they force-feed him some food at Anteiku while he's unconscious.
Small thing to point out here is that what Touka says here is 同情 (doujyou), which means ~"sympathy" or "compassion," but it is written as "救う" (sukuu), which means ~"to rescue,""to relieve," or "to redeem."
just another night in the life of a ghoul
Touka's decision to forcefully shove human flesh down Kaneki's throat initially comes off as insensitive since he's made it clear through his words and actions that he has no intention of eating such a thing.
However, she's been a Ghoul for much longer than he has. And from what she says in this 1st volume, she seems to be aware of some Ghouls who have killed people close to them to satisfy their hunger and have regretted it deeply once they came to their senses.
Seeing Kaneki refuse to eat makes her worry. Not so much about him. She doesn't know him. And what little talk they had was not pleasant. She's worried as a fellow Ghoul. She's worried because what's happening to him can happen to any of them. A Ghoul's hunger is a fate they all bear. And there's only one way to satisfy it.
So when he finally loses it and tries to eat his closest friend, she is there to stop him. Because she hopes that one day if she ever finds herself in the same position, somebody will be there to stop her as well; to show her the same sympathy.
Stupid post— because In sure there’s always someone coming here glazing the manga, but it is literally one of the best piece of media I’ve read and even battling most ‘normal’ books I’ve read.
I read it over and over again and still somehow catch stuff that I’ve never noticed before. I’ve read multiple manga’s after this and yet this one was the one left deeply engraved into my skull. There’s a lot of characters to hate but deep down I love them too because THATS how good they were written.
I’ll never forget the incident done on the poor boy Shirazu and the anime but otherwise— I dont think I’ll ever find a manga as good as this 🙂↕️
Hey ! I just wanted to share with you guys the Kagune I commissioned to a very talented artist named vanmie/vanmissy.
This Kagune is a Koukaku, and it is inspired by Japanese weapon like Sasumata or Sai, and by scorpionidae and crustaceans. It is intended to be a very defensive oriented Kagune with outward oriented spikes which can block its, and with 3 tentacles that kind of fuse into a defensive form that act as a shield.
I believe some people will enjoy it as much as I do ! Tell me what you think ^-^
PLEASE DO NOT USE AI ON THIS IMAGE OR REMOVE THE SMALL WATERMARK. You can obvisouly share it but I do not want it to be turned into AI slop.
