Tokyo Ghoul:re Chapter 70 Discussion

Gilzy said:
I think Yomo is strong enough to hold Arima back.

KACHOTARUGO said:
But i dont understand, if Ayato is older than Touka, why did Touka born first? maybe Ayato and Touka are only brothers by his father.

Kvothe51 said:


Ayato isn't older than Touka.

Evangeliman said:
Yomo is probably not dead. We've already established that Ghouls can take a Quinque to the face and be fine afterwards

Besides that, the flashback in this chapter is some real lazy-ass character development.
It's like "Oh hey, here's this character we've literally done nothing with. How do we make readers sympathize with him? I know, make him her fucking uncle, that'll work."
It's about as stupid a plot point as Kaneki's mom having abused him.

haunter_ex said:


Ahhh ... hmmm ... Ishida already hinted that Yomo was Touka and Ayato's uncle:
(Man, the first page of the topic is full of these images)

Evangeliman said:


All that tell us is that Arima killed his sister. It doesn't hint at all that he is Touka's uncle.

Hmmm... let's go:

Evangeliman said:


That's literally the scene, from this chapter, that I was just criticizing. It's poorly timed, lazy exposition

Furuta said:
The face Furuta makes is priceless, but the chapter quickly changed from funny to sad. Damn cant somebody just kill that bastard Arima?

misunomo said:
Any explanation for the chapter's title? "Thunder Rabbit"?? I thought Ayato was going wild.

Sleigh2Bells said:

I won't post every chapter pic to prove that, I'll just say this:

You can see Touka and Ayato's mom in Chapter 71 while Yomo's sister in 112.
Both Touka and Ayato's sister used to scare their brothers (Ayato and Yomo) with bugs, Arata also says to Touka that she's identical to her mom (after the bugs scene) - all this in Chapter 70 -

In Chapter 113 we can see Yomo's "Kagune Storm" while in 72 Ayato's one and they are the same.




Eto states how Ayato likes High Places (don't remember the Chapter though), Uta did the same with Yomo in Chapter 111.



1. I forgot some hints for sure but this is enough.
2. Stop discussing about this, it's pretty clear that this isn't a last-minute plot twist.

Well, if you can not join tips or not to see the obvious it is because you do not want ...

Nuvviveji said:
She also calls him uncle, check the chapter when Sasaki went to :re for the first time, when Yomo sat at his table.

Also, not many people saw the calendar, but Yomo adresses Touka as his niece and she adresses him as her uncle. Not to mention what was already said above.

Agent-Phrank said:
All you have to do is look back at the conversations, panels, family structures, and the consistency of the chronological order between the panels to learn that Yomo is Touka's uncle.

ma103 said:
Look ishida, this is what happen when you don't spoon feed. Just get Touka to properly address her uncle right from the start next time. Screw symbolism and foreshadowing.

Sleigh2Bells said:

Not even Eto, the strongest Ghoul so far alongside Yoshimura, was enough to hold him back js

Still, I want Yomo to live, someone rescue him.

Gilzy said:


Hold him back for the siblings to escape, I think Yomo is strong enough to do that.

Please don't quote me next week when we see Yomo's head on the floor

Evangeliman said:
I am not the one who thinks that the panel you posted, which literally only talks about his sister being killed, somehow points to him being Touka's uncle. Please, enlighten me, if such a connection exists.

Evangeliman said:
1. It's not really evidence that 2 characters with the same kagune, doing the same attack, drawn by the same artist would look similar

2. Because 2 people like high places they must be related? That's fucking stupid

3. Bugs are a very consistent symbol throughout the series. Their appearance suggests literally nothing.

4. Arata saying Touka is like her mom suggest literally nothing except HE KNEW HER MOM.

It's clearly a very last minute plot twist, and a very poorly implemented one at that.
Have fun grasping at those straws m8

Here you go mach 20 speedreader. Thankfully someone compiled most of the panels together, which shows the similarities between Yomo, his sister and the Kirishima siblings, for those who are incapable of connecting the dots.



You should also note how Arata points out that Touka looks exactly like her mother in the prequel.



Then we see Hikari in Touka's flashback in chapter 71



Who looks pretty much the same as Yomo's sister in his flashback


Arata was Koukaku type ghoul which means Touka and Ayato's mother must have been an Ukaku since ghouls inherit similar type kagune from their parents. If that's the case then Yomo is definitely related to them since his kagune closely resembles Ayato's and because her sister was an Ukaku type ghoul.

For comparison's sake, here's Ayato's kagune.



And here's Yomo's kagune.



Oh and let's not forget some of the other parallels such as Uta and Eto pointing out how both Yomo and Ayato likes high places which further hints at the idea that Yomo might possibly have a connection with the Kirishima siblings.





^ I'm sure all the things above are enough to make you realize how incompetent your reading comprehension skills are but still onto your other statements.


Not at all mach 20 speedreader. You don't see Irimi or Takizawa doing the same type of attack despite having the same kagune and drawn by the same artist.


It's called a plot parallel genius. Ishida has done this countless times in the series.


The point was to show how Yomo's sister and Touka are very similar.


It does because we literally see someone looking exactly like Touka's mom in Yomo's flashback which further proves he's related to them.


>I can't understand basic concepts and that's Ishida's fault. He should hold me by the hand and whisper his explanation sensually into my ear so that I understand and don't feel stupid.

:^)

Arcanix said:
How can it be a plot twist when there were so many theories that Touka's mom was Yomo's sister...

@Evangeliman chapter 70/71 then read the yomo flashback. You can clearly see that the person from chapter 71 page 21 looks exactly like yomo's sister. + the whole insect things that somehow you think it was put in the manga for fun and not for a reason. You're adorable tho.

Nuvviveji said:
Holy shit, you've been proven wrong on multiple accounts and you still won't back down. You're by far the most toxic person that these discussions have seen in a while, and that's hard to achieve considering the amount of cynicism and rudeness here. Congratulations.
