A question for manga readers:

Was anything supposed to have happened between Kaneki punching that guy to save Nishio and then him dragging Nishi to his apartment? There were two other ghouls trying to eat Nishio, and yet I feel like they stopped the scene and skipped the rest.

Yes they did skip a small scene.

It's been a while since I watched the anime so I maybe wrong. I guess they skipped the scene where the 2 guys recognize Kaneki as the dangerous ghoul who killed a ghoul investigator from the Main office( Kureo Mado). They probably skipped it because that hadn't happen in the anime since they switched the arcs.

i always come back to this episode, that scene when touka is about to bite kaneki and the music (yutaka yamada ost) in the background is so beautiful, they just mesmerize me and then blow my mind away.

Damn this ep was epic, but only one little piece of meat can give you that much power it's a little far-fetched.

Watching for the third time and it's still amazing. (From a manga reader)
I love the character development we get from Nishio he really can be a badass and the OST has been placed perfectly.
just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it?

This was just ... epic.
Touka just went all badass at the end.

Awesome episode 5 out of 5. Not gonna lie I shed a couple tears for Nishiki, even though I didn't like him in the beginning.

EDIT: just rewatching the subs, noticed they removed kimi's backstory... this sucks >_>
EDIT 2: now it doesnt make sense... why did she mention that she dont mind nishiki eats her parents...


Yeah, that was a stupid error. Maybe just poor translation for the subs. (I don't know what the dub version says.)

Kimi to Kaneki: "I'm sure that as long as he doesn't kill my parents or siblings, I'll keep turning a blind eye to it."

later in the episode, Kimi to Nishiki: "When you first called out to me that day, I'd lost my mom and dad and my brother two years younger than me in an accident."

In the manga she says to Kaneki, "...as long as he doesn't kill my friends or family I'll be able to continue turning a blind eye to it." Maybe that's what the sub should've said.

If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Man, that sick fuck :D I seriously hate guys like him, reminds me of Kuroshitsuji, brrr.

So far I really enjoy the gorefest and can't comprehend how people were able to watch it with censorship, it must have looked terrible. Tsukiyama's story was pretty sad, I can understand his anger towards humans. Still, I hope that after this fight he will be able to live by feeding on suicidal people, like the main cast.

Does...this anime have a thing for pierced guts and chests? That's been happening a lot. It's either that or decapitations, but you can't really walk that off. Then again, it's odd saying that you can walk off your stomach being blown off, but this is Ghouls we're talking about.

...Though, it's kinda vague how much punishment Ghouls can take, so I'm just gonna go with the flow.

Everything happens so fast, secondary characters disappear then reappear out of nowhere, and the anime blurbs on you suddenly their whereabouts.

Miki doesn't mind his lover's ghoulish nature
as long as he doesn't harm [her] parents or siblings

Nice, so no second thought if he preys on anyone else's "parents or siblings"? This girl became so antipathetic the second she says that. The worst being a few minutes later when her backstory reveals that she has lost those relatives before she learned Nishiki's true species: it makes a big joke out of her previous statement. At the end, I had absolutely no interest to watch her being rescued.

The more they show about the ghouls "organization" and biology, the less it makes sense. One single bit of human flesh is enough for a weakened/ill Tôka to get back her health and be able to fight so well?! There is no reason then to eat so much (people), just invest in a cooler! O_o

I liked the episode but I'm kinda disappointed with how Touka regained her strength. So she's weak and vomiting after eating some human food, but one bite of his flesh is enough to make her so powerful? OP. :|

Good things:
-The OST.
-The voice acting.
-The rhythm was a bit better than the 2 last episodes
...

Bad things:
-The animation can get very bad sometimes (like the scene where Kaneki defends Nishiki).
-The Kaneki vs. Taro-chan fight was pointless
-Kaneki's not very interesting.
-Touka's appearance in the fight against Tuskiyama was very convenient.
-Scenes that add nothing to the plot, such as Tuskiyama reading books and getting orgasm thinking about Kaneki.
-Tsukiyama is a one-dimensional asshole.
-Even with the pacing being less slow, the plot hasn't make any progress, and we have already passed the 40% of the series.

Shuu went after him again after kidnapping Nishiki’s girlfriend who is human but knows he’s a ghoul! Wow, it's beautiful that she still wants to stay with him after falling in love with him after she lost her family and he became that for her at just the exact moment she needed it! that was so sweet! <3

He wanted Kaneki to eat her while he ate him! That’s so damn insane!

The fighting was so intense!! Then Ciel and Sebastian were united on screen! YAY! <3

Touka bit Kaneki to get back her strength after eating her friends cooking to try and take down Shuu when Nishiki failed! D: OMG! I did not see that coming!

Also poor Nishiki getting the hell beat out of him! I felt so bad for him!!!

Kimi was hot this episode. I got hard watching her being eaten by Nishiki.

I hope that gourmet guy dies. Nothing else interesting, other than backstory and stuff. I hope Hide appears soon.

@Rei366 makes a good point about the amount of flesh for ghouls to regain their power. It reminds me of those plot armors.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

I like how Nisio changed from being the guy who attacked Hide to the guy who needs help from Kaneki

Even though the Gourmet is quite strong, he can't match full power Touka

Chick doesn't have to eat all that damn human food. Jesus. She's just being stupid.

The flashback story was mostly average, but I wasn't expecting her to have lost her entire family that same day. That caught me off guard.

This whole giving someone your shoulder to eat is hilariously bad though.

Oh and uh, the MC is still useless like Deku.

So delighted to see Hinami and Kaneki together again while Kaneki teaches Hinami how to read stuff and being an "onii-chan" for Hinami

So Nishiki is suffering from Kaneki's attack that's really making him have a hard time and still tries to fight Tsukiyama

Touka having a hard time fighting Tsukiyama too alongside Kaneki until Kaneki gives his own flesh to let Touka feed on him and the battle continues ahead to the next episode (no skit at the end though, bummer).

I think the anime was interesting enough with the protagonist trying to accept and adapt to his life as a ghoul between humans, adding such a strong foe around the middle ruins the pacing, and he is not really that interesting to watch, but I still have hopes for the rest of the anime since when he hasn't been on the screen the anime has taken a proper pace to explore every thing.

LOL I don't understand who takes such stories serious. I laughed throughout the entire fight. The acting comes off as something from a high school play. The plot a nonsensical mess without rhyme or reason.

This has to be for 12 year olds right? Right? No way young adults watch this trash on serious mode L.O.L.
