#touka's feelings became a joke when irimi koma and yoshimura all ended up alive

[randomthoughtpatterns]

:re started out implying that it wasn’t like the original series. Kaneki dying wouldn’t leave anything for the reader just as Ishida said in his afterwards. Then what would Touka’s arc be when she pent up her emotions about leaving everyone in the 24th ward only to breakdown when she was in the progress of recusing Kaneki? Or all of his friends that wanted to help save him?

You know how Ginny Weasley was this badass character on her own and then for some reason her whole thing became “being Harry Potter’s trophy for winning life”, same as you’re making Touka’s character arc dependent on Kaneki’s? See Sasuke’s arc be dependent on Naruto being there? I mean, he would’ve died, but he would’ve died having gone through the same character growth.

I have my opinion, it’s based on my understanding of the manga and its characters and its narrative design. Happy to share what it is. Do I think everyone must agree with me or perish? No. It’s very cool to form your own opinion on things unless it’s science. Do I want to rehash why I thunk a thought back in 2016? Also no.

Glad to see you consider TG:re to be in any way a cohesive narrative when taken as a whole.

#i have a whole tokyo ghoul tag feel free to peruse #i'm sure i talked about all of this before #touka's feelings became a joke when irimi koma and yoshimura all ended up alive #and save kaneki from what? brooding under the full moon? #inb4 someone tells me again i'm character-bashing: kaneki is a good character #in that he's complex and his motivations inform his actions #i don't think he should've died because i dislike him #i think the story demanded it and was disapponted when it didn't deliver
