Touka is not even my favourite character, but I can see why people would vote for her.

She:
- is strong
- is badass
- has a cute animal motif -> bunny
- has lots of background
- has lots of development
- is a tsundere
- is somewhat fragile
- has this gothy-gloomy-tomboyish look
- has a filthy mouth / is rude

A quite a bit more specific characteristics.


That's pretty much what i wanted to be replied to me from the start...

Anyway, i can argue against most of these, but there really is no reason to. A large part also come down to personal taste, especially the last 4. Seems i'm just not ''compatible'' with her.

Eh... nevertheless, point taken, and thanks for the list.

none of this proves that the anime staff are whores from Ishida, but that there is cooperation, the last line was on the request to animate a different route, just that.

I never said they're his whores. Calm down

Acernos said:
about something better, I'm sorry, but Kaneki vs Amon in the first season was ridiculous, Kaneki turned into a punching bag without will, among other things.

He was a punching bag in the manga too. Reread those scenes because the only difference in those scenes was that he punched once or twice. Also your wording is poor because he clearly had enough willpower otherwise he wouldn't have fought off Amon and stalled him.

Acernos said:
again, character design, consulting,etc are normal things for authors, but complete control about the anime? I'm sorry, but this seems gossip from fans or just wish that your preferred series is special, I've seen a lot of that.

I fucking told you to stop putting words in my mouth. I never said Ishida had complete control in the anime. That's the director's job not Ishida's.
Z4k said:
But he does have enough control in regards to the important things that happen in the anime so that it doesn't contradict the rule of the manga

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1353610&show=40#msg38179858
IF you pay attention to the bold word you'd understand that what I meant was that Ishida has enough control over the important things in the anime so it doesn't contradict the rules of the manga. Like collaborating with the studio regarding what to keep/cut things from the manga. If the colored kagune contradicted his rules he would've asked them to change it back to red like Arima's hair but he didn't because he approved it. OldMcdonald who's obviously more knowledgeable than you about both the anime and manga is aware of this.

Acernos said:
and since you showed not contradict my point (kagunes), then do not see why continue this, I will wait for confirmation in the manga, preferably a line or an illustration you can deny it

You said all kagune is supposed to be red?

I guess I win or are you going to argue by saying Ishida forgot to color her kagune red like Kaneki's?

There is nothing really to argue here. This is how Touka has been portrayed in the manga, irrespective of your opinion.

No, this is wrong. It's not only my opinion, since I can easily argue against points you exaggerated, like ''lots of background", while some others are a matter of perspective and aren't a solidified fact. However, that's enough polluting the thread with off-topic bickering. If you really want to, i can expand upon this in VM/PM.

In the end, Z4k is right. Peace, Touka fans... at least until the next popularity poll.

It comes down to taste whether you like the presentation or not. But the intent behind the presentation is "constant", it doesn't depend on the reader.

E.g. Touka is portrayed as a badass - she fights strong ghouls, other ghouls fear her (or at least know of her), she acts protective of Hinami, etc. Whether you like this portrayal is up to you, but it doesn't change what Ishida meant.

Edit: Indeed, Touka not only has a significant amount of background, but she is also very involved in the story, directly or indirectly.

Dissed hard.


I hope, for your sake, that you're being sarcastic.

I'm not saying anything about Touka or her character, but all lilymul did was use shitty arguments. Maledict asked people to explain to him what they found so great about Touka, which lilymul didn't do. Yeah she referred him to some random thread from god knows how long ago, and after that she's stating Touka's ''fabulous-ness'' as a fact that you can either accept or ignore, and that it is not up for debate. Furthermore, she is assuming that he likes the ''badass'' character, which we don't know if he does or not.

Her (his?) argumentation is straight up poor.


I had encountered Maledict about Touka in that thread. He was the one who brought up the thread after all, me and multiple people argued with his 'hatred' towards Touka on chapter 120 which probably his main problem with Touka. yup, it was some random thread from god knows how long and he still held some sort of hostility towards Touka, so that's why I dont think anything about to be said regarding her will change his mind.

lol you misinterpreted my statement there, I neither assume nor am interested with his character preferences, it's just a general question how 'nerd' one can be by liking this type of character or that type character, and I am just using people liking badass character as a comparison.

I'm a girl btw.
Maledict said:
Long post with pretty much nothing said in it. Good job dodging the question, i now realize that at least you like her for the sake of liking her, or some other shallow reason. Not my business anyway, and i have no intention of looking up your extremely vague description of ''some thread long ago with essays''.

You do know which one is it. So feel free to look up to it.

Maledict said:
Only character i like solely because of their power and attitude from my favourites list is Tatsuya. Everyone else has other defining features that make me like their character, and i can explain them if need be. Touka is pretty much the only character who's popularity surprises me. I am fairly capable of discerning people's reason for liking a character that i dislike. Perfect example - Slaine from Aldnoah Zero. Although i personally don't like him, i can definitely see what his fans do like about his character, especially as of late. Touka, though? Absolutely no idea.

again I have no interest in your character preferences. Just how liking female leads or any kind of character make you a nerd anime fans tho?

Maledict said:
lilymul said:
but it seems so hard to keep to yourself.


Oh, seriously? Why should i? So i don't offend her fans? Are you seriously one of the people that prefers their ears to be stuffed with cotton, so to speak?


and yet you're the one who dismiss the whole discussion about her character and choose to forget how does some people view her character and action differently from yours.

Basically your definition of her character is trash, tsundere rude and abusive even after all those past arguments, you are dismissing all those points made in defense of Touka's character so it is worth to repeat them all over again now?

Maledict said:
There is such a thing as a negative opinion, this forum has a freedom of speech, and this thread isn't labeled ''Touka Kirishima FC". All of these 3 points make that quote completely redundant, not that ''if you don't like it - don't comment on it'' was ever a strong argument. It's mostly used by the above average fan(boy).

lylmul said:
Stay a hater, natural wtv, but accept or ignore Touka's fabulous-ness.


Uh-huh, you and most other Touka fans are pretty much clear to me now. Thanks for putting that sentence at the end, knew it was something like this. Lastly, there's no dash in ''fabulousness''.

Case closed, this is pointless.


You're making all those negative comments about a character and when people are being defensive over it, you are freaking out and calling out them as offended fans. Like I said, I have no interest of making a whole essay of 'why do I like Kirishima Touka' here especially you refuse to see Touka more than mere female lead, tsundere, or abusive.

Maybe I'll make one in other site and link it to you not here bc yea, this is not Kirishima Touka FC.

oh really? I'll keep in my mind the next time I'm using this word in future then. I am not English native speaker and English is not my first language.

edit: You seem to be settled here. If you're still interested I can write what I like about her character and send it to you.

I may look like a huge Touka's fan but I'm liking almost all characters in TG btw(idk why do I need to explain this) so this type of posts is not exclusively for Touka only honestly, if I feel the need to talk about any character in TG, I will talk.

I get so disgusted at these auctions, they really show you the bad side of the ghouls. Pierrot being the hosts just completes the image. Uta, you utter trash, don't touch Mitsuki...

The wait for the next chapter will be long ;-;

(on the subject of the poll) I must say, as much as I like Touka, I have no idea what made her deserve first place, that really surprised me. Not hating, just saying.

Yeah, I am, so if you can - do so. I'll be away for a good while, so my response will probably be late, though. Don't know if I should even respond since it'll just be your opinion of her, but I at least promise to read everything with all the subjectivity I'm capable of.

Ahh I come here tuired after a long day or school and Japanese studying, recovering from a nosebleed, wondering if some interesting theories or comments have been posted about the chapter and I read dozens of comments about why Touka is awesome/ sucks... idk what to say...

*drops head on the table* I feel so tired to comment about this... cant we just drop the bashing and arguments? As a straight fangirl I have to say; I like Touka, she's not my fav character that's Kaneki of course. She has good points and faults , we humans aren't perfect and ghouls are practically like humans- the need for human flesh and the tentacles and super strength. I don't really find her a tsundere, just being a victim of life, which made her into what she is now. She was a sweet tomboyish girl when she was small.

Another important note: Japanese fan community has a complete different view than the western community has. Culture, upbringing everything influences a person's tastes. My tutor, who is Japanese has told me quite a lot and wow I'm so amazing with how different and refreshing Japan is. I've done my own research before, so I already know some things about Japan, but when you hear it from a Japanese citizen or someone who used to live in Japan for a long time, that's completely different.

Though, I was also surprised when I found out Touka ended up first. I didn't know she was that popular in Japan.


sooo uhm... Suzuya is probably rehearsing for what he'd say when he meets Big Madam again.

Poor poor Mutsuki, he will never be the same again. Maybe he'll change for the better, maybe for the worst. So how many people will start to ship Mutsuki with Torso after this?

I was actually shocked with what Uta was wearing, yes it's circusy, but still, I wouldn't even allow a blind guy to wear it.

Also random question but how many of the people discussing here are girls?

Tokyo ghoul's story seems to be based on The Fool's Journey.

http://www.learntarot.com/journey.htm

If you read it, you'd see that there are huge similarities so right now we could assume :re is at The Tower tarot card.

I'd like to explain in details but I'm in a hurry at the moment.

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about the role of the tarot cards so far, I viewed them as nothing more than an inspiration, a coincidence even. But this thing here follows the story too close to be just a coincidence.

I'm curious how you got as far as the Tower. The way I see it, we are at the Hermit or Wheel of Fortune, because Sasaki has just started looking inward. He definitely has not let go or taken responsibility yet.


Edit: Wow, The Fool's Journey is really close to how I would like the story to develop. This is very exciting. Thanks for the link.

Wow quite the Touka debate going on here since I got off last night, lol. I like Touka, I think her backstory with Ayato and their father is pretty interesting and her relationship with Kaneki is well done too. Especially right now in :re. That being said I can't understand for the life of me how people would pick her over Kaneki as the best character. Is she in my top 10? Yeah, top 5? Probably not.

Kaneki is the defining character if TG. The one who feels like if he was the main character if a story, and he is, that it would certainly be a tragedy, and it has been. In my opinion he's the best character in any anime or manga I've watched or read. Period. Honestly I think anyone who is missing out on his significance to TG as a whole, to the story of tragedy and now in :re hopefully redemption, is missing out on a big part of TG. The amount of depth and symbolism that he has developed in the story, his different paradigms he takes on, his competing identities/personalities, are the best parts of TG to me.

So let's be honest here, a lot of the votes for Touka probably are from younger fans following the series from a Shounen mentality: "oh Touka's hot now, she's so cool, I'm gonna vote for her, etc." That's their opinion, that's fine. Nothing worth getting angry over.

And just to point it out, if Sasaki and Kaneki were counted as one character they probably would've taken first. The fact that Sasaki is on his own kinda split the vote so to speak.

I really don't understand how it's a big deal if Touka is first or not. I mean people have different opinions whether it's wrong or not. I find it also funny how people don't point out to Hide since he was almost nonexistent in the story and like Touka he affected the story indirectly. But he's still makes it in the poll, see it really doesn't matter.

As for Touka you gotta understand she waited 3 years believing that Kaneki was still alive, while others may have believed otherwise. And in those three years she created a Cafe called RE with Yomo. Plus she added a compartment filled with books just for him. Thats being really dedicated if I ever saw one. Also add to the fact she's holding all her suffering inside especially when Haise doesn't remember and is a investigator. So I could definitely see why she placed that high on the poll, it really isn't that hard to understand. But like I said it's all opinion.

Completely agree with you. I don't get all of the Touka hate and I think her whole thing with opening :re as a place for Kaneki to return to is awesome. She never doubted that he would return and she was right, maybe just not in the form she was thinking right now.

"""""""You said all kagune is supposed to be red?""""

not exactly, the point is that I said that would not make sense a kagune be blue or purple, and I would wait until Ishida make a confirmation in the manga, as a line referring to color or illustration, and you said, "If appeared in the anime, so it's canon", which is unusual in the least, since there is one unwritten rule that something is only canon if appeared in the manga, even if the anime has the author participation (One Piece movie 10).

I think quite possible the staff anime have made it to differentiate the kagunes and come on, you're using Hinami as an example? Hinami? the character with the most complex Kagune? and yes, she has red caracteristcas.. (color of blood) in the kagune, not blue or purple.

As added note, you mentioned earlier about the Oda, right? I remember that long a fan sent him a letter thanking about the anime, he said that the letter should to be delivered to producers, since he was not responsible for the anime.

you made an interesting find, thanks for the link.

From The Fool arcana to Death arcana there are 14 arcana, and Tokyo Ghoul have 14 vol.

I hate people who say that Root is replacement for :re

Nobody said that here.


A LOT of people said that. I saw so many discussions about Root, where people were like "Ishida regrets what he's done with manga, so he's changing this in anime, now anime is cannon, and :re is a shameless mistake" and other shit, that it's boring. I believe Ishida takes big part in creating Root, but he's not the only creator, he's not the main creator and we don't have proof that they asked Ishida about every little thing. OK, Ishida said that he has a lot to say about anime - but he's Japanese, and it's big business and big money. These

"Director Morita, who does me the favor of complying with [my] unreasonable proposal to the very limit."

sounds for me more like "Director Morita, who was complying with my proposals although he didn't have to and who let me do much more for the anime that was in the contract". Or "they let me decide much more than I expected". Or anything like that. We'll never know the truth, how it really is and was, and in business people always are talking nice things which don't have to be so nice in reality. It's life and it's normal.

We have manga and anime, which went different way; why can't we see that like two different things, with manga-cannon and anime-cannon, which have a lot in common, but can have differences too?

There is so much going on in :re, and nearly whole topic is about kagune's colour and anime-lovers fighting anime-haters... It's more tiring than discussions about how bad season 1 of anime was (it was worse, it was bad, but not as bad as hatedom describes it).

Just in response to those people who say that Ishida regretted it, I don't know much about it myself, but do they really think he hadn't planned out what he was going to do INCLUDING Tokyo Ghoul:re before he started? I mean, an author has to have at least some kind of plan, otherwise the story is going to start majorly contradicting itself.

Anyway, I'm personally loving Tokyo Ghoul:re, so...

Yuuuuh! Let operation auction sweep commence!

Starting off with the clowns entertaining the masses with an open act. Their goofy shenanigans never fail to amuse me. It was obvious that it was Uta and Roma wearing those clown masks. Roma is one silly goofball.

Musuki looks like a very valuable and expensive ghoul to be auctioned off at.
