I don't think we will ever see the "real" Kaneki, because there is just no such thing.

Also, I doubt we will also see the prequel Kaneki again, as that would mean completely abandoning Haise and all his experiences and growth since the Anteiku Raid.

And I suspect that even if Haise does regain his Kaneki memories and stops running from his past, he still wouldn't reach his imaginal stage. There has to some serious introspection for that.

Of course he wont snap back to some old persona... 3 years have passed, things changed. That is if he regains his memories and stops developing new personalities every time he is in deep shit.

Of course he wouldn't immediately revert to his old self but I also don't think that he will just remain Haise maybe a mix?

his "growth" wasn't something natural we don't know how much the ccg manipulated him for their own reasons

I'll give it 10 to 15 more chapters until he regains his memories. I wonder what kind of memories he'll gain? I hope he doesn't get mind f*ucked when he regains his memories :(

Inb4 Sasaki retreats permanently to his Sasako persona.

Still, bad experience is still experience. No matter what happened to him, he can still turn it into something positive. Especially if the whole Fool's Journey theory is correct.

that would be the worst thing.. for character progression his memories have to return

what would the story be otherwise? he just stays with the ccg and thats it?

There is no "real" Kaneki but if you mean his memories I'd say it'll return in 10-15 chapters with the Haise persona intact.

I want him to keep his Haise persona. Just let him regain his memories to achieve a stable state with better understanding of ghouls-humans relationships but with Haise as his main persona.

If we're going parallel with TG I'd say about 60 chapters in but maybe that's too long... It could be sooner than we think but definitely not later than 60 chapters imo.

QFT.

Sasaki will ALWAYS remain as the main persona even if his Kaneki side is back. I don't want to see more of ghoulish Kaneki, I want to see both Haise (human) as the main persona with Kaneki as side persona.

Haise4President bitches, he's gonna reunite ghoul and humans.

Going back to the way he was wouldn't make much sense to me. Kaneki has always been a character who's been developing. Him getting back his memories though is a necessity and I don't see why anyone wouldn't want that.

Yo that's why I said we still need 5% Crazyass Kaneki.

On a more serious note, it's not like I don't want Kaneki back, I just hope that Haise recovers his memories while still retaining his gentle Haise aura. I wouldn't want him to completely revert to his merciless eye-for-an-eye killer Kaneki-self. That would just kill off the reason why Haise exists in TG:Re, something I definitely don't want to see.

Haise is not human.

He is not fully fledged ghoul either. He despises his ghoul self, that's why he comes more of as a human in the eyes of readers whereas Shironeki personified a ghoul. CCG also considers Haise as a human, hence my comment.

Haise is as much a ghoul as Kaneki was.

He doesn't despise his ghoul self, rather he fears it (together with his past).

The CCG considers Haise a ghoul, judging by this page -> http://imperialscans.com/read/tokyo-ghoul-re/7-people-in-the-dark/17.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I agree with that part said by you but my comment was oriented more towards the details stated in this page.

http://imperialscans.com/read/tokyo-ghoul-re/7-people-in-the-dark/19

What I meant to say is, they still consider him human as long as Haise 'behaves'. So for me, the way he acts is still human. His mentality in TG:Re is similar to that of a human as long as his Kaneki persona does not shows up.

And while we're at it,

Putrescence said:

then we're both wrong here as Haise is still half-human and half-ghoul.

I hope you get it what I'm trying to say here. Maybe my wording was indeed wrong earlier and for that I accept my mistake.

No worries. But I still don't agree with you.

The CCG treat Haise as a human, but they recognize the fact that he is a ghoul (i.e. they consider him a ghoul). There is a difference.

Haise/Kaneki is a ghoul-human hybrid. Which means that he is both human and ghoul (or neither, depending on the point of view). Eg, we haven't yet seen something a ghoul can do that Haise/Kaneki can't do.

The mentality of Kaneki was also "human", so it is not something exclusive to Haise.

i want him to regain his memories bit by bit. for example when he remembered nishiki, he went berserk. next one is touka or ... idk somebody else maybe. but i want to see his reactions to every single character that is important to him. for example he called touka 'cute' when he saw her first. then in :re, he saw touka and thought she was beautiful, again.

i want things like that. you got what i mean, right? first impression for every character lol

At the beginning of :re I hated Sasaki and just wanted Kaneki back lol. Now I'm kinda conflicted because he seems so happy as Sasaki.

He's found a group of people he cares about in the Quinx, Akira, Arima, etc. but at the same time he's lost people that still care about him and he used to care about like Touka.

Like he brings up when he and Shirazu are talking in the club, I'm curious what he will think of the Quinx and CCG in general when he gets his memories back.

The insane amount of buildup to this auction arc makes me think the Sasaki/Kaneki transition is probably happening soon. Either way it will be pretty cool to see the old Kaneki again.

Emo how? I find these comments the most annoying.

Really looking forward to seeing how the story will go once he regains his memories. I'm sure he'll still cherish the people he's made relationships with as Sasaki. What I'm really looking forward to most is him remembering Hide.

TG is based on the fool's journey. It's at the tower at the moment. I don't know how many chapters the tower will be, but Kaneki is going to wake up at the end of the tower (16) and the beginning of star (17).

I still wonder if each volume equals 1 of the tarot cards that represent the journey. If it is, then re will be much shorter than TG. unless re will be each 2 volumes represents one of the remaining cards in the fool's journey. then Re is possible as long as TG and Kaneki would regain his memories in end vol 4 begin vol 5.

Happy happy happy!!!

You people make it look like Kaneki was the happiest version out there. Just because he has conflicted thoughts over his previous lifestyle, memories, friends and family (alright no family ;_;) and that chin touch in chapter 8 does not means he is completely sad. He still has his quinx-kids who looks after aand respect him (except Urie at this moment).

Let Ishida focus on Sasaki till his memories return, and how he accepts them no less. Even if Kaneki returns, just remember the fact that your 'ideal' Kaneki would be different from before.

Sasaki is a great character and I hope that once he's regained his memories he'll stay more the way he is now than the way Kaneki was. Am I making sense?
(maybe he could hide the fact that he's regained memories at some point, it'd be interesting)

I don't want his memories to come back.
Could you imagine how chaotic he will be?!
Knowing what they did to him
If he regains his memories it has to be someone he admired,loved,trusted.
My chances are Amon,Touka,Yomo maybe still with Rize.
Thinking also Rize,could
Who ever awakens Ken Kaneki it will be havoc it that place.
Especially knowing how he couldn't control them in chapter 2-3

Yeah I feel the same. I definitely don't want his personality as Sasaki to disappear but I miss the insane Kaneki and his awesome lines. "Do you know what kind of sound you hear when you put a live centipede in your ear?"

I prefer Sasaki over Kaneki, Kaneki is fvcked up, dude. Being black and white is better than just being white or black IMO. I think Sasaki is meant to be the balanced version of Kaneki.

I am willing to bet that sasaki is like a clone of some sort and the "previous kaneki" is being kept inside like those tanks for future ghoul experiments that the CCG will perform. as for the anime it can go in any direction so we will just have to wait while the story unravels, No pun intended.

^I agree.

People tend to forget the white haired Kaneki was suffering. Sasaki is way happier than he was as Kaneki especially Shironeki. The problem lies within Sasaki is he is ignorant and rejecting his old memories. It's like he's living in his dream with this CCG family and all, no matter what, the Kaneki is bound to come back, he is just resting/sleeping.

Anyways I don't mind any type of Kaneki as long as he's happy, and Sasaki is really doing great job at being happy and he has both Kuroneki and Shironeki traits so.. I'm leaning more to him. But with Ishida's latest bday comic, he kept tagging 'Oyasumi Haise' it's time to say goodbye to him ;_;

Wow, there are several people here who like Sasaki, that's good, as for me, I like to be known as Kaneki Ken, but he who does not have a true personality, since it copies the people closest to him and it got new psychological traits.

I'm looking forward to when he starts to imitate Arima and start using glasses.

as the question emo.

Shironeki was never emo, emo was ridiculous that the anime version gave him, we can see how the Kaneki that Ishida planned for the anime and the anime staff did were different by the draft.
