Meh, it's just getting worse and worse. This whole last arc has been trash compared to what it used to be.

I bet Donato is using his Kagune to control Eto.The cross symbols seem to hint at that.

I don't know if he's controlling her but there is definitely a link between V, Donato... etc.
Good chapter, I hope the next one is going to give us more hints.

I did not enjoy this chapter... Fighting and fighting and fighting...

It is great that Ui gained the courage to fight without Arima present. What does the cross symbolize in this context? Is Donato controlling that monster the ghouls and humans are fighting?

I’m happy to see Suzuya gain some screen-time. Suzuya was the one who cut the monster’s neck, but what was that inside the creature?

What the heck is V? Why are they so fast? I know there is some kind of connection to the Washuu clan but I’d like to learn their orgins. (Or, am I forgetting something?)

I like seeing a caring Tsukiyama call Banjou, “my dear Banjou.” It is nice to see a protective Tsukiyama who told Banjou to “tell me” if there’s anything wrong with the latter’s kagune.

I want to see the root of this problem being discovered and solved lol. I generally don’t care about these fighting scenes.

It's definitely Donato, but I wouldn't put it as controlling Eto, cause, as far as I can see, her head has been turned into that cross. If I'm correct, we can presume that Eto is, in essence, dead, and now she's something like Noro was.

That last panel was too much of a mess to get what happened...

Koori Ui was the main focus in this chapter. So it would be more appropriate if the headless zombie turns out to be Hairu Ihei. Such a tragedy that it feels like Furuta is yet to stop messing with Ui's mind. Besides, I think that body is way too slender and lengthy for Eto's small stature.

Aezeryel said:


Not to sound rude - but - the reasons for it being Eto: it looks similar to Eto's kakuja, it shoots ukaku projectiles, the main body is wrapped in bandages like Eto was before, Eto was not confirmed to be dead; reasons for it being Hairu: she had a connection with Ui. And Hairu was not a ghoul. So unless for some reason Furuta and Donato decided to (probably) dig out Hairu's dead body, put Yoshimura's/Eto's kagune inside of her and somehow feed her enormous amountsof RC cells, it's Eto.

OneEyedGrape said:

Furuta also had Hairu's head ..
Eto is such a red herring

Aezeryel said:


What does her head matter? To repeat myself: for it to be Hairu, Furuta (and Donato) had to put Yoshimura's/Eto's kagune inside of her and somehow feed her enormous amountsof RC cells to turn her into that monster. And there's still no guarantee it would look as similar to Eto's kakuja as it does. It makes no sense to go through all that trouble just play around with Ui. Why didn't they recover Arima's body as well and did something similar to him while they were at it? Seeing him in such a state would completely destroy the morale of the CCG.
Red herring or not, Eto is the only logical choice at this point.

The direction this has been going is ehh. The powers of uta, donato and furuta are still very mysterious and unknown. We know 2 of the three can create full on clones with considerable strength with tiny pieces of their body so manipulating a dead body and being able to use the bodies previous abilities isn't too strange.

My problem is one that is common in shounen but hasn't been too bad in tg(until recently) and that is power jumps that don't agree with the world.What I mean by that is like in dbz frieza ruled the universe with no competition even coming close to his power, he wiped out the entire race of saiyans in his 1st form with ease, yet a couple decades later there's suddenly dozens of people who can defeat frieza and children who have attained ssj - a feat that only 1 saiyan in the entire history of saiyans managed to achieve before goku.

In tg recently we've been getting power up after power up that is leaps and bounds above what it was known ghouls could do at the beginning. There's hundreds of years of history of ghouls yet there is no knowledge of creating clones and now we got 2 possibly 3 guys who can and 1 ghoul that grew to the size of a city all entering the stage at the same time.

One piece does it correctly, the stage is set with admirals and yonkou as the top tiers from very early on and 800 chapters later they are still the top tiers and the mc is still working up to their power and by the time the series ends they will still be the top tiers. There isn't going to be some magical being that pops up a year after the final battle that is stronger than everyone yet just coincidentally didn't appear until at the perfect moment where the mc has just barely reached the point where he will be able to beat him.

I mean, I was just adding it to the list of "Reasons for it being Hairu". I feel like you're significantly down playing the possibility. I don't think the similarity to Eto's Kakuja really matters either way, as there's enough differences to keep it from looking identical. If it was Eto, why not just directly make it look the same? I also don't think Furuta did it for the sole intention of messing with Ui, he's done that plenty already. I think it's likely he has more at his disposal such as Arima. Even if it is more logical for it to Eto at this stage, I feel like there's been tons of subtle and sometimes not so subtle foreshadowing for Hairu surrounding this topic.

Btw, the last time Eto was seen she didn't have the bandages.

Well, what happened was that she was nearly dead. Not really hard to do something to her in that state.

Why do you say that Arima was an antagonist?

Donato and Uta are all but confirmed to be natural OEG.

Cyborg_Dragon said:


Ya but Kaneki would of know better then to leave the body of a sss rate ghoul to be taken by the ccg to be made into a quinque and out of respect for the manager.

Look up the definition of Antagonist it is not just villain it includes rivals and adversary's.

They are not confirmed natural OEG Uta has been hinted at being one not confirmed and I have seen nothing confirming donato being a oeg just a powerful ghoul like roma.
