Re: Tokyo Ghoul:re 52 Spoilers Thank you so much for clearing that up, Vatican! I love IS's quick scans, but sometimes it can be sad when you realize how much you miss. I'm glad my theory still applies, at least. You could also combine the two theories? Maybe Haise is expressing doubt...

No, I enjoyed that bit too. It's part of what made Eto's psychological torture so subtle. A simple, innocent psychological exercise turned into a deconstruction (and destruction) of a person's entire psyche. It's very chilling. I also saw that bit about Kanae's name on tumblr...

Re: Tokyo Ghoul:re 52 Spoilers I love the contrast between Yamori's and Eto's "styles" of torture. Yamori was very crude and brutish. By comparison, Eto is much more subtle, almost delicate. It's hard to decide which is more terrifying. I'm wondering what the significance of Kanae being...

If not now, then when? I'm curious to know where you really think this is going. Correction on the trump cards, though: Rize and Kaneki share the position of Queen of Hearts, so "Queen" may be more symbolic than literal. On the other hand, Japanese can be a lot more ambiguous than English about...

Even if Saiko had a say, I can't imagine her accepting it. She's not that interested in fighting and she probably thought Shirazu deserved it more, too.

Shirazu contributed most to taking down Nutcracker. He figured out how her kagune worked and came up with a plan to kill her and save the remaining CCG agents. All Saiko did was make one heavy blow, again under Shirazu's orders. When fighting ghouls, strategy is just as important as raw physical...

But wait, what about V- ............................................................ .................................................................................................

That's true, and I considered that too. However, although Eto referred to herself as Kanae's "god," only Tsukiyama has ever been referred to as Kanae's "master." That makes me think that the line still refers to Tsukiyama. Furthermore, the line is very reminiscent of a storybook knight pledging...

For the people who think Kanae is going to become Shuu's replacement as "Tsukiyama's heir," I noticed this while I was going through some of the older chapters: The text on that image seems to work suspiciously well with that theory.

I'm fairly certain Kanae's head was taken clean off. Haise hooked his left leg around Kanae's neck before bringing his right in for the kick, which would result in a scissor-like motion. Snip snip. As for Noro, I get the impression that he was once a ghoul like Kanae. Like Kanae, he received a...

http://www.mangareader.net/toukyou-kushu/20/16 Phrank, if you actually read that page, it's clear that the RC gates aren't used widely OUTSIDE of the CCG. In fact, they are literally the entrance past a CCG lobby. If you work for the CCG, chances are you're going to pass through an RC scanner at...

Fun, but unfounded. For one, Amon is referring to one person. Secondly, Amon's phrasing implies that 721's meal was enjoyed alone. If 721 had been coerced into eating those sweets by another individual, and the other individual had partaken in coffee, Amon would have surely mentioned that in the...

What about Chie? She's been off the radar for a while, but we already know she's pulling some strings here, and we don't know what the girl has up her sleeves. Also, it was Chie who found Tsukiyama on the roof after Anteiku. Taking parallelism into account, then, it's not impossible that she'll...

Re: Tokyo Ghoul:re 42 Spoilers First of all, I said I didn't think it was intended to be a parallel, but that the situations were reminiscent of each other. And considering that Ishida's themes tend to be pretty consistent, it's reasonable to think that we'll see the same patterns from...

Re: Tokyo Ghoul:re 42 Spoilers I think the interesting thing about the conversation between Touka and Tsukiyama is that it reminds me of the one between Touka and Kaneki, before Kaneki decided to return to anteiku. They both wanted to "help" others for their own reasons (to not be left alone)...
