Great, emotional chapter, I'm really satisfied with how this Qs sub plot has been resolved. Mutsuki is a great character; hopefully more people understand her now, instead of writing her off as a shallow yandere.

Horrible. This is basically Naruto levels of TnJ bullshit. Ishida's obsession with Mutsuki is ridiculous.

This whole evil Mutsuki story has been a waste of time and overall terribly executed. The true suffering at this point is to see how much this once great manga has declined in quality.

I wasn't a fan of how Mutsuki's redeeming arc/moments were executed. I was not a fan of the Quinx Squad either... But, I think I would be touched, if I was a fan of the Quinx Squad at the very beginning of the series. I applaud Urie and Saiko for being devoted to their friend. It was sweet of Urie to say that they'll stop Mutsuki, no matter how many times it takes... Mutsuki just needed attention and care. I hope these three can stick together, and do good things in the future. They are a family, after all :)

As much as I love Mutsuki, if that’s all the redemption he got, then I’m far from satisfied. I'm sorry but he still got a long way to go.
At this point, I won't be surprised if Ishida will make Mutsuki sacrifice himself or something. I don't want him to die but I definitely can't forgive him so easily either.

How do you know Mutsuki already accepted themselves?

Anyway, because of your comment, I checked the raw version, in this chapter Mutsuki used pronoun "Watashi" which is neutral pronoun rather than "Ore" which is pronoun for male (the one Mutsuki usually use before)

I guess, Mutsuki slowly accepted themselves then. That's great. I'll use neutral pronoun when referring to Mutsuki just to be safe from now on, lol.

If you're comparing Mutsuki to Sakura. The difference is that Sakura was a terrible written character right from the start. Mutsuki however was made a hateable character on purpose, Sakura was never intended to get the hate she got.

If an author can make you hate a character because of his/her actions throughout the series, it is good writing. If a character is hated for their personality and uselessness from the start throughout the whole series, that isn't good writing.

Mutsuki was actually barely hated by anyone at the start. It's her actions that caused nearly everyone to hate her.

Don't get me wrong, I hate her as well. But characters that are meant to be hated aren't necessarily bad written. For me, it looks like it was Ishida's intention for Mutsuki to get hated for her actions.

Actually no, I was comparing this more to when Naruto turned major villians suddenly "good" because he talked to them for a few minutes (TnJ=Talk no Jutsu) and appealed to their humanity.

Its similiar with Mutsuki, her "redemption" is ridiculous.

A lot of people seem to be upset at how quickly the Mutsuki stuff was resolved, which is understandable because she's been a villain for a while.

But for a first step towards her redemption (and yes this was only a first step; her redemption is not complete), this chapter was beautiful and makes complete sense from my perspective. This is the first time she's ever spoken up about her abuse at the hands of her family + Torso, and what's important is that Urie + Saiko responded with love and acceptance because that's what Mutsuki's been craving this whole time; that's why she's been chasing after Kaneki for nearly 50 chapters now, because Haise offered her a source of a stability. Her love for Haise/Kaneki is not a romantic one, its a fixation on the stable way things were like in the past (early :re), the only period of stability in Mutsuki's life, which she associates with Kaneki. This chapter couldn't make it any clearer with this page : https://jaiminisbox.com/reader/read/tokyo-ghoul-re/en/0/156/page/15

So all this time what Mutsuki needed to hear was that a loving support structure still existed within the Qs, specifically Urie and Saiko, that she didn't need to chase after Kaneki for such support to exist. Mutsuki is similar to Kaneki in the sense that the abuse at the hands of their family created a mentality they couldn't be loved, except Mutsuki is even worse because of the extent of her abuse, and how she killed her parents. So when she finally opens up on that abuse, Saiko and Urie showing her she's loved, saving her from committing suicide, is the exact response she needed and was truly a moving and beautiful moment for me. It is cliche, but that shouldn't always have negative connotations, it can be cliche and well written at the same time.

And as I said this was the first step towards her redemption, love won't fix all of Mutsuki's issues, it didn't for Kaneki and it certainly won't for Mutsuki who's in a far worse state than Kaneki. She will still have a lot of development to go through.

Hm not too sure what to think of this chapter, the 'redemption' was kind of predictable and overall it felt a bit rushed and underwhelming.

But like people mentioned before this was pretty much just the first step, I really don't think (or hope) that Ishida pulls those 'Naruto-like 180 degrees character turns' or whatever you wanna call it, so I'm interested to see where Mutsukis character goes from here (if she actually survives that is).

I mean for example, looking at how fucked up she got when she heard that Touka married Kaneki...can she really leave those two in peace?

Basically Kaneki becoming the antagonist according to Furutas 101 plan and the chance he gets every character to turn against him when he kills some of all the Qs and accidentally kills Touka and his child turning both humans and ghouls against him.

People talk about it being forshadowed on the Reddit and tumblr. And Illustrations has illustrations including a new one showing a sinister looking Kaneki.

I have no problem with how this ended. I can understand how to some it may have felt a little rushed.. but that's because they were expecting the need for a full mental reconditioning or something. Also.. I think most people underestimate the seemingly insignificant nature of what could cause a (mentally and emotionally) damaged, repeatedly severely tortured mind to go off the rails. They would be even more surprised at what little it could actually take to get said kind of mind, back on the rails again. (at least enough to get them to calm down) Being told and shown that she had people who truly did love and care about her, and that she did have a place, a family to go back to. Was just about all I thought it would take, at the right time, in the right way. From just knowing about her past and the source of her troubles. She still has a long road ahead though. To get healthy.

As for her guilt over the stuff she did.. lol Have you forgot what series this is? To even be part of one of the main groups of characters, pretty much means you've either murdered or still murder people just in order to live.. And the other half of the cast pretty much murders men, women and children of the first group just because of what they are. That's just the BASE LINE for guilt in this series! Many of the heroes here have killed out of revenge and for other reasons before as well. Not to mention other kinds of things done. :'/

Oh yeah and one more thing.. since i see this getting thrown around about this chapter.. I think Mutsuki (a FC with a tragic dark past) being killed would have been cliche.

oh **** would that be retarded.. It would pretty much make the whole series meaningless and pointless. The only way that could be pulled off without being totally ridiculous in the end, would be if we actually got completely NON ambiguous lasting (i.e. permanent) super peace from it somehow. With the ending more than just spelling it out or hinting at such. Which, while I do think it's already started down that road, is very VERY unlikely. And man, if you thought edgelords and "realists" (realism = grimdark) are bitching a lot about a lack of body count or romance, shounening up the series now..... lol

Because remember.. A light and or happy series is pretty much always able to do the tragic/sad/depressing/bittersweet ending, ruin the theme and get praised for it.. But the dark and edgy series... not so much the other way around.. :/

Some people think that making everything pointless and meaningless would be good writing as its daring and trolling (I would just see it as despair porn). We still have a fucking massive body count after dragon those edgelords are retarded to think things are shonen at the moment.

After seeing Ishida one side goat for 50 chapters and off screen the MC :re 143 it changed my perspective of the series and I could actually see him doing it. I would never see the likes of George RR Martin treat his characters in such a way.

I enjoyed seeing just how much Urie has changed and developed as a character, how much he grew as a person. Just that look he gives Mutsuki in the end makes he look older and more mature than in the beginning of the series. But in regards to Mutsuki, I feel she is just a nuisance since long ago, really wanted her to die fighting Yomo, though in the end I knew she would come back, and now she was just a stone in our shoes, a rock in the way to actually interesting storytelling, so I wanted her to die already. Even if it was not how I wanted it to be, finishing this bullshit already is enough to make me glad.

Just a tip: the community in general accepts "he" or "she" for Mutsuki, since it doesn't really looks like she cares about what gender to identify as anymore.
