| Pretty good episode, Juzo don't have mercy for his two old friends to solve to try to kill them, just for pleasure... At least, he could have some companion for the lost of their old friend. Amon-sensei have some and let them got away. And Ayato and Kaneki were very enthusiastic for they own battles! One was remember feelings with his dad, and the other was completely crazy of his mind, fighting like Juzo just for power... I just hope the twin won't die and have more exciting fights just like these ones. ^.^ |

This guy read the manga and thinks because he understands what happened, it's easy for everyone to understand everything. Anyways, that aside, this season is pretty bad. We get barely any plot progression - I mean obviously they resolved the big fight, kaneki joined aogiri, and aogiri is on the move. There we go folks, the whole summery of 5 episodes. Regarding this episode, we get Kenki suddenly fighting Shinohara (What happened to the other dude, hello?) and him becoming crazy. Again, we saw Kaneki tortured which resulted in him becoming powerful and cold, as he began to kill people. We have not been shown ANYTHING that would imply he would go crazy. Especially in a random fight where he was losing, it made absolutly zero sense. I know some parts of the manga which is why I realize why he went crazy, but if i didin't it would make no sense at all. I'm also still wating on the explanation on why that psycho chick is so strong two one eyed ghouls were just a joke to her. Anyways, Season 2 killed all the character development S1 had, I don't even care about Kaneki anymore, nothing. Lol these ghoul fanboys have no idea what plot or good story telling and character development is , I can understand liking tokyo ghoul as a series but how can you be blinded to all the obvious problems with this series? I have zero interest in reading the manga for this over hyped series so as an anime only watcher I shouldn't be forced to read the manga to understand whats going on a good well written adaptation should stand on its own |

Pointing out the flaws is fine and all but posting vague criticism is stupid. |

| This is a prime example of why Pierrot shouldn't adapt anything which has red color in it, seriously. I remember in Bleach, at part where Ichigo cuts off Tsukishima's arm, they made it a mild cut. When in Kingdom Rinko lost 2 fingers, they said his tendon was cut. Now, I don't mind that kind of censoring. But when there is a show, which is obviously gore driven, then CENSORING SHOULD NOT EXIST. Combine with that story pace butchering, and you have no idea what the hell is going on anymore. And I am saying this not as manga lover (even though I am boiling with rage), but as anime only watcher. Seriously, this is just...bad. |

Anything related to knives get censored so that's not Pierrot's fault. |
hantere said: This episode was a very good episode. Kaneki getting crazy to bad they didn't add the evil smile when seen by Amon. If things confused you I suggest you read the manga. The twins fight was also done very good. Glad there adding juzo's character development. Stupid censor. The scenes make this episode. If your not a manga reader then this is only going to look like a good vs bad guy trope. BUT to enjoy an anime, you shouldnt have to go looking for the manga, it should be good enough as a standalone. |
 |
| Love Ayato but i want to see his sister do some stuff. Kaneki is acting like a main character at last but we havn't been told what hes thinking. poor girls getting wrecked by there former friend Eto <3 |

Sadly this is true but I am only pointing it out because of some quick judgment without having read it. i guess its the case with a lot of anime that the source material is superior. but yeah hopefully they'll give us an info dump just so anime-only watchers can get a better picture of whats going on |

| Well I saw some fighting...lol |
| guys, i like kaneki-amon moments very much. lol and suzuya's seiyuu... i cant like her. o.O |
| EustassKiddo ! |
| This episode kept several fights each with a motive behind, and finally the centipede appeared, but I did not like Kaneki have gone well in a first moment, and after almost being killed This season is not convincing me, not by changing the plot in relation to the manga, but the development that seems forced and not very exciting .. |
  |
| Far better than the last episode, they actually put effort into the fight senes this time. Kaneki's centipede form looks amazng, not digging the face cover though. Juzo completely toying with the twins and the knife play was great. Oh, and the fucking censors. Not sure why they couldn't just go back to reverse colors. |
| God, I feel violated.. and not in a good way.. Can this anime at least give some explanation behind their action? |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| Awesome fighting scenes but the plot itself is just a mess. Even some lines were pointless. For example, Amon says to Kaneki "Just a ghoul, right?" out of nowhere. In the manga Kaneki says "I don't know you, I'm just a ghoul". The fight between the sisters was good, but the manga version was 10 times better. One of the best portrayals of Kaneki's character was cut in half here. I didn't like how it was done here. http://2.p.mpcdn.net/22212/472669/16.jpg (manga page) I'm pretty interested in seeing how things will end, but this season hasn't been that good. The highlight of this episode was in the art of the ending. Were those two Fei and Yan? Thats nice. If you like mindless action then this episode was good. If you are in the TG train for a nice character driven dark story then this is a huge let down. |
Toaki90 said: God, I feel violated.. and not in a good way.. Can this anime at least give some explanation behind their action? Honestly, at this point, I would just try to enjoy the fight scenes because that's the only thing this shows got right now. What the heck is going on, nothing has been explained. Any sense of of what the show originally had when it first came out is pretty much gone and has basically turned into some battle shounen. |
| Lots of action this episode, Juuzou kicked some major butt. |
| After watching this episode I feel like.....maybe one of the reasons Kaneki joined Aogiri in this route is to watch over Ayato... and/or find some chance to bring/convince him to go back to Touka... Because even when he went into Kaneki-pede mode he actually bothered to moved Ayato out of the way first before going all out with Shinohara. The manga made that instance seem more like he was all out berserk and didn't care if friend or foe was in the vicinity.... Well that's just my guess.... Ah man though...I love the Kaneki & Amon moments....it makes me all the more hyped about the Re chapters...if you know what I mean... =p |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| great ep, I like those twins been hoping they survive.. |
 |
| YES! Centipede was utterly fantastic, thou I do wish he would have spoken a few more lines in a insane, mind broken way. |
| Wow, never have I seen an anime where I felt sorry for pretty much every character. Seriously, I don't remember the manga being this depressing. There it felt only like Kaneki truly suffered but here pretty much everyone on both sides look like they want to commit suicide lol. Also that blurry censoring at the beginning was disgusting. |
| I'm confused did that one eyed ghoul just save Kaneki and Ayato or are they like being kidnapped and do they even know what's just grabbed them? |
| "He's a player??? THE ONLY THING HE BE PLAYIN IS A HENTAI DATING SIM THAT FAKER" |
| That's really really an awesome episode >_< And what's with the rating ? I mean, Season 2 is more way better than season 1. |

| Holy shit one eyed owl Major Spoiler Centipede in action was pretty nice. Would've liked it a lot more if they showed what actually caused him to turn into his Centipede form though. The one good thing about the anime original content is the extra Ayato stuff. |
 |
| Wow... I'm honestly more interested in the Nashiro and Kurona / Amon subplot than anything about Kaneki because the main plot revolving around him has gone nowhere since episode one and his character hasn't developed any further either. On the plus side the action animation looked way better than the previous episode. But fuck it I'm tired of all the crazy characters in this show. There are too many of them and they collectively suck, they're edgy and inflated but have no substance beyond being murder happy nuts. Some shows can handle lots of crazy well but Tokyo Ghoul is not one of them, it has enough trouble making most of its sane people interesting, a band of psychopaths is not what this series needs to deal with right now. Or if you are gonna go the psycho route add more Rize, because Rize was both crazy and interesting unlike the rest of the crazy bastards that dot the landscape of this show. |

| ohman was this a pumped episode or what, the fights were awesome and we got to see the owl good stuff. |
| dam that quality seems like its getting better this was a fucking epic episode! |
 |
| Best episode of the new season yet! The animation was better and it was very entertaining. Juzo and Centipede Keneki are so badass! Only gripe is the censoring... I really want to watch this episode uncensored. |

I have no idea where Ishida is going with this but so far he's inferior to the manga Kaneki in every way. |
|
| This episode was fucking amazing, after this season is over I'm going to start the manga. |
  |
| I'm really starting to like the weird boy-girl inspector character now. Fuck ghouls. They're filthy monsters who deserve no sympathy. I want to see the police wipe all of them out |

Barion-Zara said: I loved this ep but u gotta admit though...If ur to compare the manga scenes to this ep it would feel so lack luster. I mean just look at the friggin art difference!!! The craziness depiction is on another level ^^; yes! u just said what was on my mind! i was waiting especially for this part and also i think its not |

| If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone |
| Lol, the show is at the point where it throws in the One-Eyed Owl just for the sake of throwing in the One-Eyed Owl. Needlessly had that interaction with Tataro and the investigator. Should've allocated that time to a better fight scene, or a more detailed Juzo x Kuro x Shiro flashback. But of course, you get 4 minutes of a poorly introduced Kakuja Kaneki, and an Owl teaser, and all of the fanboys come screaming back "ermahhhgerdd!! woaaaahhh best tokoo gull ep evr!!!". Please. |
DoAndroidsDream said: YES! Centipede was utterly fantastic, thou I do wish he would have spoken a few more lines in a insane, mind broken way. Totally agree with you on that. Suzuya was kinda cute in the flashback. The censoring was really strong this episode. |
| Best episode yet forsure! LOL. I'm a little curious as to why people who don't like the season AT ALL from ep 1 still bother to still watch it. Seriously guys, just spend your time watching something you'd rather enjoy than something you feel obligated to watch, you'll enjoy anime more that way. Theres a lot of series out there that you can watch rather than this one. |
Live, Laugh, Love.  |
| That was the best action scene this season. The scene with Ayato remembering his dad was really heartbreaking, as was Kaneki crying. The centipede was awesome. I took a look at the ending illustrations and it looks like Houji and Tatara have crossed paths in the past. It's shown Tatara holding his mask and someone else, looking quite similar, and then Tatara with his mask gone but the boy beside him is gone. |
 |
| Not OP but have to say it. I see that some people believe that Suzuya is a girl, how oblivious can you be... |
