For that to happen, he would need half-ghouls and ghouls and humans who will be ready to compromise. Right now, there is no side who wants to yield, and half-ghouls work for or are sided with ghouls Kaneki already had his own group and he basically achieved nothing during those times. At least being in CCG he could do somewhat beneficial things for both ghouls and humans. But it wasnt a group right, Aogiri fights for a common goal, and the CCG too. Kaneki's group were followers, they didn't even know what Kaneki was doing or why?. It is interesting to see Kaneki in the CCG, specially when he finds out about Amon, wonder if it is Amon, who would free him from the CCG. Everyone already knows that Aogiri is up to no good, but we still have to find out about the CCG corruption, about Arima's mystery plus more about the Pierrot's who I think are the real antagonists. you do not remember what the doctor Kanou said the world where they live is a "cage" and that his research would show the truth to the world? For me, V is a group of ghouls that are part of the human world policy. I must admit I have read that chapter thousands of times, and still I haven't understood what Dr. Kanou meant. I mean why is it a cage? Does he want to maximize humans abilities? Does he thinks humans should live in a world where the strongest win? Wouldn't that mean that ghouls are going to reign? Then he is going at the end get eaten? And if he wants all humans become half-ghouls, then what is going to happen to the food source? In summary I didn't get him But Kaneki seem like he did :/ I came up with an explaination. Kanou's ideal is survival of the fittest. Everyone gets turned into a ghoul and they have to eat each other in order to survive. |

Page 15, it seems Urie hearing Haise call Serpent "Nishio Senpai" via wireless. If that reported to Arima, that mean Nishio identity has been known by CCG. That's why Arima come, if Haise remember his past, CCG need to get all the precious information from him, about Kaneki's life as ghoul, about Aogiri, his meeting with Kanou, about all his friends from Anteiku, about Kazan (Anteiku's manager) and his relation with Owl and shady organization that want him back (may be this organization the cause of Anteiku's destruction). Haise/Kaneki hold so many precious information, CCG can't get it due his ammnesia. |

PinkSheep said: I just wanna know how he survived and why he joined the CCG I also don't think he got dissociative identity disorder from Jason According to wikia and other pages DID is probably caused by traumas, so it is not actually Jason who caused him the DID but -Rize's trying to eat him -Tsukiyama trying to eat him -Jason's torture -Losing the manager -Sending his friends to V14 only to see that Arima probably killed them -Have been hit on the brain two times...pierced. I think anyone would want to forget who he is after this, plus the problem that his body keeps healing himself, without giving him peace. So what did he choose? to sleep, and have another personality. Also must likely Arima never had the intention to kill him, when he woke up he already had DID, and the person with DID can have amnesia So it was easy piecy for Arima to give him a new name, twist some facts. And the CCG is what they do, they turn victims into CCG members, Kaneki's case is no different. Plus Kaneki's base personality is that he wants to help in general. "Oh I was attacked by a ghoul, and now I am a half-ghoul....ghouls are evil who want to destroy humanity...I'll do everything to help" Anyway that is my take |

PinkSheep said: You could find out it's caused by trauma even by reading how Jason was tortured and developed another personality because of it Kaneki still had his personality after he was tortured I thought he meant sleep as in dying to have peace but I haven't read in awhile so I don't fully remember Nope, bc then he wouldn't have said "when we wake up..." I found this, that I think is sooooo cool With you, Rize's copycat |

PinkSheep said: "We" makes it different and him saying his consciousness turned to ash I read as him losing consciousness because he was dying We, in this context means "I" Kaneki is walking with Kaneki Anyhow, I won't argue about context and grammatics, the thing is he knew he was not going to die...probably he thought he was going to end up in cochlea, bc he said something along the lines "When I wake up, I'll know where I'll be" |

As i continue to reread TG i don't really see a side with true virtue. CCG kills ghouls because human meat is the only thing they can consume. Aogiri kills both human and ghouls in an ambition to obtain hierarchy over the human race. they both have extremist ideologies on how the future of the world should be the pierrot are maybe the most antagonistic. while both sides are fighting mainly for their race in a war of dominance Pierrot ambitiously cause havoc in the personal lives of ghouls and humans for their entertainment. |

Another question, in the last page is Sasaki looking at Arima or his head is down? I am starting to see thing lol |

V is basically some mysterious organization thought to be working with CCG and Aogiri, which would be an interesting connection between the two. They are the ones that Takatsuki starts to dig into and reports to Amon about, the organization that's making "liquified ghouls" and Amon finds out that CCG has some stakes in the company. |

Yeah this is probably one of my favorite things about TG as a whole. Neither side, humans or ghouls, is inherently bad which is really what makes the whole thing so tragic. Early on in TG Kaneki and Amon talk about this (during the investigator arc I think) about how the "world is wrong" and Kaneki realizes that he is essentially the bridge between humans and ghouls as a hybrid. I still think this is one of the huge overarching themes of the series that is carrying on in :re. Think about it, by the end of TG Kaneki was so far gone, so insane, so completely taken over by his ghoul side that his humanity seemed almost beyond saving, and with it chances of reconciling things between humans and ghouls. The turn of events at the end, with him becoming Sasaki, is his opportunity to live on the human side again, and see the perspective of the investigators. All of this is needed, Kaneki and Sasaki, to eventually bridge the gap, he just can't see it yet. As far as Amon, I feel like he is going to be equally important in fixing the world. He's always felt like a second main character to me and now in :re I think he will be playing the role of villain and tragic hero, being forcefully turned into a hybrid. Again if Amon is going to help bridge this gap between humans and ghouls then seeing things from the ghoul perspective is exactly what he needs right now, as miserable as it might be for him. So yeah, Kaneki and Amon, two sides of the same coin that have now flipped sides. That's where I personally think Ishida is going with :re, can't wait to see how it turns out. |

I was thinking of Kurona and Nashiro, since her father from what you say was a member of "V" Anyhow Nashiro had black hair as Kurona but it turned into white too. Can we assume from that, that Arima was experimented on? Probably from the same V, and that is why he seems so mysterious? Also it could just mean a duality, since the twins were a duality from having been with the CCG and then with Dr. Kanou...maybe Arima has a specific story too that results in duality. And if it is so, then we will have a cycle, you know Kaneki turn to white during his stay with Aogiri, Nashiro during her stay with Dr. Kanou, and Arima with V or the CCG. |

Kuramoto Itou says "thats the genes of a special investigator for you." this statement seems very strange to me. what if CCG was given clearance to create super soldiers as a means of balancing the scale by V? just a thought. maybe the changing of hair color isn't from stress which we believed to be true but actually the genetic manipulation of human/ghoul Dna. kaneki's hair changed after sometime of being administered food. Arima was specifically chosen on the SSS battle. maybe this was the first time being administered the DNA or his first time given field clearance post operation. This WOULD explain why Kaneki and Eto were able to pass through the RC detector. what if the detector had already been calibrated for hybrids like Arima? its said to detect high RC levels but allows Eto, who's most likely in the 10's of thousands, to pass. |

CNTRI715 said: Neither side, humans or ghouls, is inherently bad... I don't think so. Humans don't destroy lives daily for the sake of satisfying their hunger. The humans fight only because they are pretty much facing extinction if they don't take up arms. Remember the children who are trained by CCG when their parents were killed by ghouls? A restaurant where ghouls enjoy humans being minced alive? Countless ghouls proclaiming humans are just meat? Aogiri pretty much wanting world domination? I'm pretty sure the humans aren't the bad guys here, and this concept of extreme violence towards ghouls pretty much came and died with Mado. I've always viewed CCG as the self-defense type. It's easy to think the way you do when it's only fiction, but if this were real, i doubt anyone would sympathize with things that threaten to eat you or your loved ones every day. By the way, even though i undoubtedly want CCG and humanity to prevail, i don't dislike following the ghoul side in the slightest, nor do i hate most of the ghouls i've seen. |

By the way, even though i undoubtedly want CCG and humanity to prevail, i don't dislike following the ghoul side in the slightest, nor do i hate most of the ghouls i've seen. It's a little bit off topic, but actually I talked this with someone, and we agreed that ghouls eating humans is not that often. It is as often as you would hear a psychopath kill his whole family and ate it. A normal ghoul can survive a month or two with a human body. Also it doesnt seem to be many ghouls as humans in the world Plus you have ghouls like Arata who preferred to dig graves or eat their own. And we think this, bc no humans really feel threatened by ghouls, I mean ppl still get out of their houses. Take as example Kaneki. When he was a child with Hide they are talking about ghouls as it was a ghost story Kaneki didn't even know what a ghoul look like in the first chapter Second Kaneki accepted to accompany a woman who said her house was close to the ghoul event....does Kaneki show signs to be afraid? No...the reason is bc to him is just like a fantasy to laugh at. Even when the ghoul expert was talking ppl still were eating and making conversation It is not an urgency matter. CCG doesn't even advertise who they are, and how ghouls look like, they post pictures of ghouls they are looking in their own bureau, do they appear in the media? It doesnt seem so. Also you said "Humans don't destroy lives daily for the sake of satisfying their hunger" what about the pigs lives, or the chickens lives If this were real I would tell you that CCG is being lazy, not advertising in the media, not list of precautions, a human has to take. They don't even sell kagune knifes or so for humans only so they can protect themselves. They just pick victims, and take advantage of them....why feed the victims hate/revenge, why not let that person live in peace after such ordeal. Also, buying ghoul liquid? Doing experimentation by trying to turn humans into ghouls or something similar, torturing ghouls instead of killing them. I mean all the things that Jason did, it was the CCG's fault, for not killing the ghoul as they should. Why the hell do they have cochlea, I understand the necessity of having 1 or 2 ghouls. But why having a big prison of them, why not killing them? So in conclusion I blame the CCG for what happened to Kaneki and well Kaneki himself for not informing himself about the dangers that surrounds him. |

Maledict said: CNTRI715 said: Neither side, humans or ghouls, is inherently bad... I don't think so. Humans don't destroy lives daily for the sake of satisfying their hunger. The humans fight only because they are pretty much facing extinction if they don't take up arms. Remember the children who are trained by CCG when their parents were killed by ghouls? A restaurant where ghouls enjoy humans being minced alive? Countless ghouls proclaiming humans are just meat? Aogiri pretty much wanting world domination? I'm pretty sure the humans aren't the bad guys here, and this concept of extreme violence towards ghouls pretty much came and died with Mado. I've always viewed CCG as the self-defense type. It's easy to think the way you do when it's only fiction, but if this were real, i doubt anyone would sympathize with things that threaten to eat you or your loved ones every day. By the way, even though i undoubtedly want CCG and humanity to prevail, i don't dislike following the ghoul side in the slightest, nor do i hate most of the ghouls i've seen. Actually the ghouls first lesson is to assimilate to human society. the very first thing they are taught is oppressive to their instinctual desire to feed. don't view ghouls as a human would view one another in terms of sentiment dealt towards the same family of animal, but as another species. Being devoid of the idea that human morality applies to the survival of another species is what allows us to view lions and other carnivorous animals with respect from a distance and has aided how to understand one to coexist (Kaneki states something similar after the climax of the battle with nishiki and tsukiyama) And the human race isn't facing extinction (hence how they're able to not only live out in the open but also have skyscrapers that tower over as a beacon to show human presence in the world) what they're facing is a nemesis it doesnt wish to find a common ground or create a compromise with. Instead of creating a code of ethics and morals with the reality that ghouls co-exist alongside the human species. Humans choose to force them into hiding and exterminate them out of fear. Article 13, clause 2 of the Ghoul Counter Measure Law is basically, swiftly exterminate a suspect if it is identified as a ghoul, This isn't deterred by an age limit meaning babies and children are included. We've also seen the CCG destroy plenty of lives: ayato & touka. their father was a corpse collector, he ate the dead bodies of humans and ghouls in an aspiration of not causing harm if unnecessary yamori. tortured relentlessly for experimentation & sadistic pleasure. hinami & ryouko fueguchi. A ghoul family torn apart who, these two specifically, were not accustomed to killing. Human oppression created a perversion of the species that has emerged and we see it in but a fragment of time which is the present time of this story with kaneki. theres no way to know the extent of what went on on both sides through this worlds history yet, but ghouls eat to survive and human meat is what they have to consume by a predatory means of luring & tricking because there only prey is not only a social species but an intellectual one. thats not to say that some ghouls aren't psychopathic maniacs just as humans are its just to say that there overall presence isn't as threatening to the point that all need to be exterminated as a virus although it is fiction there is still a universe with morals, ethics, right, wrong, just, and unjust and when we are presented this we are endowed with the ability to judge ourselves what is good and evil from a observational seat set away at a distance far and close enough to make our own judgements. but we're all full of shit until the "God" has completed the universe when we assume what is what before its reached its completion. |

And I will say why? Bc it is not taken seriously by civilians for the lack of information. |

I'm starting to think that Kaneki's healing abilities is the same as Noro's. I guess we wont know until he gets decapitated. |

Z4k said: Wait no. V was actually against aogiri that's why they interrogated Yoshimura about his child before the raid by CCG. I was forgetting this bit for some reason...I only remembered V's connection to the liquefied ghouls. Did Yoshimura have an agreement with them? Cause I'm pulling up a blank on why they thought he betrayed them? |

V is a mysterious organization that the manager used to belong to in his younger days. He was forbidden to have any relationships and children, and then they found out about his woman(and by chance she was a journalist who was chasing V) and Yoshimura had to kill her because he had no other choice(kill her or die together). It obviously had a big impact on Eto. And it implies how strong the organization is as Yoshimura had to kill his woman because he knew he couldn't stand a chance against them, and the other time when a few members appeared he asked if they came to kill him which obviously implies that only a few members can actually defeat him. They may have even stronger ghouls than the manager himself, who knows. |

Question: Was Kaneki ever shown with the number 4? And Touka with the number 3? If they have, can anyone tell me where? |

Finally it's officially confirmed that Sasaki is indeed Kaneki and Serpent is Nishio-senpai! Poor Sasaki/Kaneki though... Maybe it was with a little of his will or against his will to change into a completely new person, but I really hope he comes to terms with himself. I dislike Arima. We really don't know much about him other than him being the top and strongest of the CCG. He just comes and stabs Kaneki and now he appears again. >:c |

I think he will find more stability when he completes it. At the end of chap 7, could it be the wheel of fortune together with the star on the floor? Then it could mean Sasaki will only receive a pat on the head, and that's it. |

Chapter 8 where are you??? |

I really thought it was all joke around the theory of clones, but this theory is even after the last chapter still quite internationally accredited by the supposed fans, even more than the kakuhou transfers the soul and memories of the former User's life. |

LOL "supposed fans" I think I'll check what the spanish and french fans have to say about it I only found ppl who had already read chapter 7, saying that they removed Kaneki's kakuhou and they put him inside Sasakii, just like Rize. Now I remember why I never read spanish forums |

Now I remember why I never read spanish forums but why is his hair white and turning black? why is he endowed with using his kagune in ways reminiscent of old comrades? why is he having a mental breakdown similar to nashiro and kurona when reminded of his past? you'd figure genetic manipulation and he being a clone they could hone him just having physical skills and a dullened personality with a swiped clean memory... but they decided not to because??? yeah, no its kaneki. not a clone. but the triple O.G. rookie of the year.. Ken "Eyepatch-kun" Kaneki.. why are they still holding on to this when there are so many other things to theorize? |
