Beautiful wing. Hoping to see Touka kick some ass next episode.


Tsukiyama is too much with him smelling that cloth with Kaneki's blood on it. I hope he dies.

can someone explain why tsukiyama's scratches from touka healed so fast?

well all ghouls heal fast but this is actually something that doesn't match up quite as well as it should because Tsukiyama isn't in the category of ghoul that has the best/fastest regeneration abilities.
His Kagune- that sort of spiral "weapon" that protrudes out of his arm/shoulders means that he is more of a shield type then a regeneration type.


The categories and abilities of each ghoul should be explained later on. SHOULD...

I have some questions about ghouls
Do ghouls need to sleep?
Do they have regeneration/better healing than humans? If so how?
Are ghouls stronger and faster than humans?
Do ghouls age?
Why would a human/ghoul hybrid be stronger than a ghoul?
How do people become ghouls?

Yes they sleep.
Yes They have stronger regeneration it depends on their kagune,There are three types of Kagune that I can't remember the names.Kaneki has Rize's Which has abnormal regenerations and it comes out of his lower back.

Ghouls age I think,The anteiku manager is pretty old.Wasn't explained in the manga YET!
The manga's Raws are starting to explain Human/Ghoul hybrid so I can't really explain it unless it gets translated.


OffTopic:
Episode 5 was Rush on the start and Made it up in the end.The pacing returned to normal in the end and was pretty satisfied with that.
Still Pretty angry of the Arc switching.In the end they're gonna Show everything in different order of events so Why the Switching!? IT doesn't make sense.
I understand if They add something new,but they aren't so Da F***?
Just stupid directors taking matters into their own hand.

ghouls are still human, i guess they still need sleep yeah.

they got higher regeneration ability, like insta regeneration. though, they cant heal up major wounds at instant (like getting limbs literally destroyed to small bits, they cant regenerate lost arms if the arm is gone.)

look at the manager, he is a ghoul and he is old

in generall hybrids like liger (lion + tiger) are stronger than their counterparts. it was explained better in manga, but anime cut this out

you dont become a ghoul. a ghoul is an entire different species on it own, looking like human, but feasting on human flesh. so far only kaneki is a human turned into a ghoul (ugh, the urge to spoil here is strong, but i will restrain myself here ^_^)

EDIT: ^ DUDE, at least hide the names okay? :D

Because he is a ghoul and it can be said that ghouls have increased "stats" like endurance, strenght.

Also it depends on what kind of ghoul they are. (Different kagunes) Touka for example is damn fast, but can't fight for too long i.e low stamina.
Tsukiyama has very strong kagune and high strenght but is a bit slower thanks to that and so on...

There are like 4 different types. Try to browse tokyo ghoul wikia if you want to know more.


thanks for explaining. i'll look up more info or just start reading the manga

Well Tsukiyama said that Touka was Stronger when She was "Cold" when she was young and that Sneak attack would have taken 10 Seconds to regenerate.
Touka was pretty weak right now Since she isn't as Wild as back then and Her friend's cooking Really messed her up.
That's why Kaneki fed her to be on Her full strength.

Strickly speaking of Tsukiyama in this episode then no there isn't anything allowing him to heal faster than he should.

Though i'm pretty sure he boasted once that he's better than others because he eats better (fine dining) compared to other ghouls. He is Gourmet after all.
Basically a cheeky "you are what you eat" type of comment. Which makes him more of a bastard ahaha.

Touka is messed up by her Friend's cooking...There's that too.She wasn't in her full strength.
And she wasn't as wild as back when she was younger.Hence why Tsukiyama said that Slash would have taken 10 seconds to regenerate if She was in her original self.

It's because Touka and her attacks are weak here due to what she ate earlier = more reasons why Tsukiyama is able to "heal faster".
As you saw here, she forced herself to eat the stew her friend bought over.

That was a pretty exciting episode. I vaguely remember reading some of the chapters that they adapted for this episode a week ago, and it feels like they changed some of the key aspects of some scenes? I just kind of skimmed to avoid major spoilers so maybe I'm wrong.

I'm glad Niski was alive after all, I was wondering if he had actually died from Kaneki's attack. He and his girlfriend are presh and Kaneki and Touko working together was amazing.

just to notice: every ghoul got regeneration ability, higher endurance than human etc. there is this classification between ghouls because some types of ghouls are more like more focusing being a tank or more rathr focused on speed than on power.
it doesnt mean that one type is superior than all other types, this is only a general classification. a supposidly weaker type of ghoul to another type still can beat them if they completly over powers them

If I'm not wrong, basically one human is enough for the ghouls to last a month so I'm sure that one little bite was more than enough for touka.

Hey, it was way better than episode 4 =D I'm happier now, it's still pretty rushed and the arcs shift is anoying, but at least they showed Nishiki's past and Yoriko giving food to Touka =D(and that lil bit of Kaneki thinking while fighting, of course it was almost nothing and with no strategy, but I'm trying to be positive here XD)

That's one hell of a nightmare to be waking up from... poor Kaneki...

Touka-chan sure lives close to the store... hurr hurr XD

I was hoping we wouldn't get to see that bastard Gourmet for some time, seems I was wrong.

Ah, her friend and classmate appears, time to eat guys :3

Yoriko has given you the sign of approval, go for it Touka! Misunderstandings OP!

Oh dear lord... we get to see more intimate moments between the pervert and and his handkerchief...

Kaneki's such a nice guy saving Nishio after the awful things he did previously.

Kaneki for president!

The worst case scenario just happened... Kimi got kidnapped by the biggest perv of the year 2014...

LOL, eating Kaneki while he eats Kimi, sick creepy bastard ass pervert...

Freaking hell, he's really strong for a pervert.

Damn, Touka got pierced by Tsukiyama...

So Nishio had a hard childhood and lost sister due to her being betrayed by someone that she thought to have loved her... T.T

Let me guess, Kaneki's going to suggest that Touka should eat his flesh in order to regain her strength since she's probably the only one that can fight Tsukiyama on even terms.

It looks like a I was right and now an epic fight can start XD.

No no, Kaneki just cant control his left eye. It only get diferent when he is either hungry or in the heat of the batle/threatened. Normal Ghouls can control their eyes colors to certain point, but Kaneki's will turn red easily without his concent. Thats why Itori tossed that glass of blood on him before removing his eyepatch in episode 4

U know, this episode felt like it had a whole lot of potential but... it failed to be great...

Firstly, seriously, the arc went by too fast. A few things would've benefitted frm some slower pacing. Though, i guess this was alreay pretty obvious frm the previous episode.

I mean, things like Nishio's characterisation sufferred, imo. He has a pretty good backstory, and his current self is really cool. But I found it hard to link up his actions frm his past to the current him... I feel some parts of the story could've been fleshed out. Same with Kimi, I dun feel I understand where she's coming frm... it's like, oh, ok, she's doig that cos the anime is saying that's what she does xp

Okay, coming to episode specific details... censoring was ugh... Tsukiyama is actually kinda funny to wath with his over the top reactions when thinkig abt Kaneki. Kaneki, seems really stupid to me... I dont understand why he didnt tell anyone abt what Tsukiyama did. And he seems pretty damn lucky Touka showed up, bcos once agn, it felt extremely stupid to go off to save someone when ur pretty pathetic urself...

Now, some things that arent makig much sense to me...
1. Why was Nishio struggling so much? Couldn't he just kill any random human and eat the person's flesh to recover? I feel some explanation's been left out...

2. Kimi's story clashes with what she said... she said she didnt mind Nishio eatig human's as lobg as they werent her parent or siblings... but, her parents and younger bro are already dead ... -_-

3. I'm wondering how Tsukiyama was gonna force Kaneki to eat Kimi. Doesnt seem feasible unless he confines kaneki for days to starve him, then dangle Kimi in front of Kaneki xp...

4. How did Touka know Kaneki was in trouble. That kinda came out of the blue. Again, I feel like some explanation was missing.

5. Er... wondering how Kaneki saved Nishio frm the grp of ghouls that were bullying Nishio. They just showed him punch one guy... er, I thought Kaneki was still pretty weak xp... and considering the fact that the grp were all ghouls, I cant imagine how he could've gotten out of that situation with Nishio without remaining unscathed...

Er... I guess my main problems all have to do with the half-baked explanation in the anime... definitely gonma read the manga after the anime finishes cos a lot of the story elements n ideas sound really cool. Too bad the anime isnt doing such a great job at using those great ideas...
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

Ugh, the censoring makes me so fricken mad. I wanna see everything!

But this episode was still pretty awesome even though it was a bit fast.

Tsukiyama was being extra creepy this episode. I've never seen someone so..."turned on" by food.

I like how toward the end Touka-chan made Tsukiyama mad by biting Kaneki. And she had to make it kinda...hot, by biting his bare neck. Tsukiyama was so pissed, I had to pause and laugh at his reaction!

Anyways back to this episode,same shit as last week,more terrible pacing and censoring.


I am glad i have read the manga. I can totally put up with the rushing pace, because luckily they know how to show the interesting parts of the story. They only have so little episodes and they LACK TIME. So what they are doing with this little time given to them - it aint bad, it aint bad at all. If the pacing annoys you, read the manga.
