The dubbed voice actors really sell these scenes Riza trying to make Kaneki see the “real” reality and Kaneki crying out and coming to terms with his reality
But none of this is Kanekis fault. He was the only person that never wanted to heart anybody. He had a shitty mother, a shitty date, a shitty doctor that rather made him a monster than let him die. And from that point on he only had to suffer more because he wasn't a normal human anymore.
Well to work yourself to the grave in order to help out a familie member that will never change their way is just weak like behaviour. Its a hard lesson to understand but it is what it is.
My mom doesn't think anime has good lessons/morals but honestly this is the best kind that we need. It'd not sugar coated, just straight facts that we should learn now rather than later
Nah this part is kinda true but I don't think it's rlly as good or true as the final advice of tokyo ghoul "The world isn't wrong or right.....it just is" We get so caught up in evaluating our morals when we forget it's pointless In the end all that really is is we exist and nothing more We live and we love and we die And to conclude with a quote from tg itself "That's all it is.... that's all it is"
@@swellow7 cartoon and anime are the same, who cares if it’s cartoons, if you enjoy them. Anime is literally just the Japanese word for animation/cartoon.
His VA is Austin Tindle. If you ever wanted to rewatch the series, I recommend watching the Dub. I was honestly surprised at how excellent his voice actor was when I first heard him.
@@AM-mp7ugikr, the Tokyo Ghoul dub is one of the best dubs I’ve heard! Kaneki, the Kirishima siblings and Juzo’s voice actors did an especially great job in my opinion. If only some people would stop acting like the subs are always superior, lol, it’s true that a lot of dubs are crap, but most of them aren’t as bad as people say, and some are even just as great as the originals!
@@ayla-40 for me it just feels like the sub has more emotions for most of the anime I have watched that the dub couldn’t portray correctly. My favorite dub for a long time was code geass. It was one of the first dubs I have watched that I liked.
@@TaijiArban cool, I should try watching code geass. I totally get that though, sometimes the subs are just unmatched, and most of the time movies/shows are better if you just watch the in their original language. Sometimes it’s hard for me to really get what’s going on in an anime if I have subs on though, it’s harder to watch what’s happening and the emotions are more difficult for me to grasp because I don’t know the language. I think that’s mostly a me problem because I read books SUPER slowly lol
Exactly 💯 other people always sayings it's just some weird cartoon and I'll tell them it's more to it and that anime is like any other real shows out there
Well, that's the thing. They were never actually HIS ideals in the first place. They were his mother's. Or at least what he believed they were. The Manga later goes into more detail about he all he ever really wanted was to be treasured by someone. That as long as he felt like he was needed, he didn't care who got hurt.
*Anime isn't just "an anime" or else it wouldn't have impacted so many people, connect, even brighten us, the community that has formed around this is something to behold. Thank you to the people who write manga and anime you've truly touched many of our hearts and have carved a legacy for many to remember.

I'm rewatching this in dub, heard this being sampled in a song and it blew me away how good the english VA of Kaneki is. Also this actually made me have tears in my eyes
Oh my god, I’ve been watching to this scene over and over again, it’s so emotional and the Tokyo Ghoul dub is so good. 1:55 - 2:27 is some of the best voice acting I’ve heard, props to Kaneki’s voice actor because holy shit, the pain and desperation in his voice makes my chest tighten and tears prick at my eyes, it’s stuff like this that really blows me away, I’ve never had that much of a passion for doing voice acting, but this almost makes me want to get into it. I can’t even put into words how much I love this, I never truly appreciate acting until I see scenes like these 👏 👏 👏
I watched Naruto, AOT, and Tokyo ghoul but never understood them as a child, but now I understand each one of them and how this world is cruel and how people hate each other and how these animes were trying to aware us but badly I was too blind to see and too stupid to understand...
In truth , anime, songs, books and fiction has given me more enlightenment than my family for most important decisions in my life and to keep Going No matter" how ridiculous it may sound"

@@Benimaru33 bro the Tokyo ghoul manga is one of the greatest masterpiece Ever created jjk maybe one of the best but still it won't compare to TG and that's a fact
Ken x Rize moments was straight up gold scene, every single one of them and showed how twisted was the mind of Ken since the beginning. Until he joined Aogiri my mind was clear and could catch everything, when he joined them my mind just went off and said "Shit, we gotta see what comes next"
This is what I love about TG; Japanese Philosophy in anime in general. The west always goes around "sensitive" or "hurtful" topics. In western media, the subjects of pain and death are almost always avoided, trying to sheild viewers from "bad things". But Japanese media; TG especially in this case, faces us with the true reality, even if it is blunt and painful. It is the truth. They don't shy away from topics like death and pain. After all, those things are present in everyone's lives. Weather you want to be oblivious to it or face it is up to you. Imo, purpously avoiding it is just cowering away or trying to hide from the reality of the world.
One of my favorite speeches in anime. This is something everyone needs to think about and learn in their life. I'm glad I gave Tokyo Ghoul a 2nd chance.
In the eyes of kaneki, we all have to understand and just feel that raw emotion.... it's painful, how could his own mother just disregard her own flesh to help her own sister when her sisters problems were caused by her own financial problems.... poor kaneki....
Really concerned about how many comments don't recognize that this isn't meant to be good advice, it's his lowest point: where he accepts a lie to escape the pain. Pushing the blame onto random circumstance and the world, believing it's all inherently cruel (a philosophy dismissed later). Rise is never framed as a wise or even correct figure. She's a Glutton, the embodiment of self indulgence and self importance, the kind that creates those cruel circumstances. She is solely responsible for everything that happened to Kaneki, and instead puts the blame on him (or rather Kaneki blaming his weakness for her actions, as this is symbolic).
I can’t really say I agree with you, Rize isn’t a good person, and what she said isn’t 100% true, Kaneki was never at fault, but most of what she said is the cold hard truth. I mean, “sometimes to protect one thing, you have to let go of another” that is nothing but the truth. If all you ever focus on in life is pleasing other people, and trying to be a good, selfless person, then almost all you’ll get is pain. There are almost no people in this world that will put you above themselves. It’s not in the nature of living things. Living your life just to make other people happy is no way to live. Sometimes you have to stick up for yourself, push people away, and stand your ground. Kaneki’s mother taught him to let people have their way, because hurting people was never a good thing, but realistically, it can be the right thing to do for your own sake. If you don’t want to be miserable for your whole life, you can’t be around people who drag you down no matter what you do to try and help. And sometimes those people would benefit more from you pushing them away. If Kaneki’s mother had refused to help her sister, her sister would’ve had a chance to taste failure and insecurity, she may have had a reason and motivation to change for the better without a crutch to lean on. His mothers actions did not make her kind. They made her a people pleaser. She wasn’t kind to herself, she wasn’t kind to her son, and ultimately she didn’t do what was ultimately right for her sister either. she only followed what other people wanted. Rize what right about everything except for whom she placed the blame on.
The fact is: despite everyone these days trying to force messages of "only look out for yourself", and "no one else cares, so you shouldn't" down our throats, such a blanket response just is not true of the real world. Are there selfish people, yes, obviously, I'm not an idiot. But everyone acts like it's the "true nature of humanity" or some nonsense. It's not. It's just another choice of how one lives their life. And where there is a choice, there is always at least a 2nd path. Some people don't care, but some actually do. It's always a choice made. I've seen some terrible people justify terrible acts with the line of thinking: "no one else cares, so why should I". But there is altruism in this world, I have seen it, too. It is not dead, not yet at least. In the firefighter that rushes into an inferno to save those trapped; in the reassuring words of a cop staying beside a victim scared stiff; in the warmth of jacket given on a cold winters day to one without a roof for the night; even in the friend, who just says, "you've got this". These acts, big or small, do not benefit the helper in a single way. They risk time, talent, limb and even life. In many cases, without reward, only cost. But they still do it, not because they're looking out for themself, but because it's right, because it's decent. And above all, it's kind..... just kind. Are there some who would take advantage of that? Obviously. But it seems these days, the only answer people give for that problem is "root out any good will", "it's their own fault for being nice". They blame the victim, the one trying to fix things, instead of blaming the ones who broke it. In this case, the mom is called wrong for helping her sister; to which I say, no. The sister is responsible for her own choice, the fault is hers alone. We are all capable of only our own choices. We can receive anything, but what we do with it, is a choice all our own. And I will not condemn the person who chose to put kindness out into the world, while glossing over the one who chose to sow bitterness instead! The sister could have chosen to not take advantage of the mother, and since she didn't, she is in the wrong. And to those who think that people cannot change: look at yourselves, would you make the same choices now that you had as a child, or even a year ago? We are always changing, bit by bit. Sometimes for worse, but sometimes for better as well. People are undeniably capable of change, it's just yet another matter of choice. As for "human nature", in my own look at history and even biology/ecology, cooperation IS not only a possible path of humanity, but one that has been taken before. One that has propelled species and civilizations into being. Do you think the first city was built by a single man? Cooperation and competition both, are the cogs of evolution. Many species band together into groups to accomplish feats and ensure safety that no single one could. Evolution is "survival of the fittest", not "the strongest", and often, when times are hard, it is those that are willing to band together that are the fittest, not the lone one who lived only for itself. Such species often end up the top of their ecosystem, even. In fact our very bodies are made up of countless individual organisms that, over time, came together to form something greater, more complex. Where would we be today if the first cell fed only itself, and never formed up with others into multicellular beings? If the first atom, did not bond to another? If the first woman and man decided they didn't need each other? Despite the naysayers, Cooperation has happened before and it can happen again. And it is the "people pleasers" that accomplished it, the ones that put others above themselves. The ones who fought and sacrificed for their kind, their country, their home, their loved ones. They are the ones upon which the world is built, I will not condemn them for extending a hand to another, even when it didn't succeed. To give up because it failed sometimes, is to turn a blind eye to all the times it has worked. That they tried was worth more than those who did not. Edit: I got rather off topic philosophizing. But to the point, Rize is telling only partial truths to a lying end, ones that fail to truly reach the whole world and instead only paint a dark and twisted parody of the real thing. "Sometimes, to save one, they must let go of another", perhaps, sometimes; but sometimes you don't have to abandon anyone to save someone else, sometimes you can save someone else at your own expense. And sometimes, you can save everyone, even yourself. But you will certainly fail to save anyone when you don't try to do so. She takes one tragic example and then paints it across the whole world, that this is the cruel core of the world and will always happen: a partial truth used to paint a broader lie. As the final monologue of the series summed up, there is both cruelty and kindness in this wide world, to believe it is solely one or the other is just foolish, we just have to struggle on and still search for beauty.....
I disagree with your point as kaneki was weak and rize was a ghoul her hunger forces her to feed on humans if it were not for kanekis gullibility the events would not have taken place at all so it is kanekis weakness that allowed rize to act on her natural instinct Furthermore, this is good advice considering the current world even for us humans it is a cruel path filled with pain rather than blame circumstances it is you that is responsible for those said circumstances so why blame the effect when the cause is at fault. In this world that we love in love itself has died and no form of it but betrayal remain it is us who allow it so yea the advise given by rize does apply to this world; if you deeply ponder.
Yet Rize is the most free and the happiest. You clearly misunderstood. Whether she is wise or correct is subjective. The fact is, Kaneki suffers because he walks on eggshells, Rize takes whatever she wants and never hurts from even a second thought. At the end of it all, when we are taking our last breaths, no god or heaven in sight, all that will matter is what you dod for you and yours and the rest is someone trying to make you feel like you owe the world but nobody does. I'd rather be the cruel one than the one carrying all of the pain
@@Noplectic Thank you. If you don't mind I tell a short-ish story, from 1:36 to 1:43, it really felt to me as though it's happening to my life since I always go neutral & play both sides. I always struggle when given the choice between two friends since I want to play both sides. In the end, it shattered my mind (figuratively shattered, but shattered as in it broke my mind) along with the countless amounts of friends that I had to leave behind/ had to leave me. And before I even seen this video, 2:03 to 2:16 was when I wished people stayed for me & I with them. But at least now, I've moved on from that phase. Sorry if this is long tho
All my life I've put others before me and praised the tiniest amount of value that I saw in anybody, but when it came to me... I never saw any remnence of value in myself. I was content with being hurt so long as it made everyone else happy. But recently, I reached my breaking point and I found myself admitted to a hospital for a suicide attempt after blaming myself for something that wasn't my fault; the reason I took all the blame, and in turn viewed myself as a monster, was so that someone who I really cared about wouldn't have to suffer the thought of them being wrong in the two of us having a falling out. If it were my fault then I can suffer while they get to live their life guilt free. It wasn't about things being right or wrong it was about who gets hurt and who gets to be happy and for so long I gave up my own happiness for the sake of others. This world truly is messed up because kind people only exist to get taken advantage of, after all... "No good deed goes unpunished". Everyone has their limit.
Don’t be so quick to judge my friend. Only time tells how short lived is the happiness of those who cause pain to others. In your case, you did what I also did, took the blame for something you didn’t do. Respect yourself to cut the cords and walk away from people and situations which make you unhappy and question your own self worth. I survived a suicide, caused by trauma I faced when my partner cheated on me. I know how you feel. But trust me dear friend, no deed goes unrewarded, either with pain or happiness. What broke you, will help you find your inner light. But you can either use compassion and kindness to join the broken pieces, or you can choose vengeance and hatred. Whatever you choose, you’ll become that. I chose compassion and kindness, and that makes me write this to you. Otherwise, I would have simply liked your comment and moved on.
I understand where you come from. I too also put others before me and never found any form of value in myself. I would've been fine being invisible to the world with all the pain on me if it meant others would live happy lives. But the thing here is that the pain, physical, emotional or mental, will be the strength for tomorrow, and you'll find a skill that you might think is unique to only you, like what happened to me. I never got the chance to face my childhood traumas, but I used the fear and pain as my strength and found my unique skill of exploitation via desperation. I understand if you don't want to use your own fears and pain as your strength. I get it. But ultimately, it's up to you.
I came to realize that too actually. Your comment is something i can completely relate with. And even after knowing all of this, i still cant change myself. Why i wonder
@@nikhilsharma3563 cuz we have such a kind hart that's why and yeah make sure that if this fucking hart becm soft than we are dead no matter what happened in are life and never find love no matter what happen
To be happy is to hurt another that's what i learned. My lover abandoned me for another man My best friend abandoned me for her man I accepted it and understood them Because now i would do the same I would hurt everyone and anyone for the sake of my own happiness Im tired of being kind

His mothers actions did not make her kind. They made her a people pleaser. She wasn’t kind to herself, she wasn’t kind to her son, and ultimately she didn’t do what was ultimately right for her sister either. she only followed what other people wanted. Rize what right about everything except for whom she placed the blame on.
The fact is: despite everyone these days trying to force messages of "only look out for yourself", and "no one else cares, so you shouldn't" down our throats, such a blanket response just is not true of the real world. Are there selfish people, yes, obviously, I'm not an idiot. But everyone acts like it's the "true nature of humanity" or some nonsense. It's not. It's just another choice of how one lives their life. And where there is a choice, there is always at least a 2nd path. Some people don't care, but some actually do. It's always a choice made.
I've seen some terrible people justify terrible acts with the line of thinking: "no one else cares, so why should I". But there is altruism in this world, I have seen it, too. It is not dead, not yet at least. In the firefighter that rushes into an inferno to save those trapped; in the reassuring words of a cop staying beside a victim scared stiff; in the warmth of jacket given on a cold winters day to one without a roof for the night; even in the friend, who just says, "you've got this". These acts, big or small, do not benefit the helper in a single way. They risk time, talent, limb and even life. In many cases, without reward, only cost. But they still do it, not because they're looking out for themself, but because it's right, because it's decent. And above all, it's kind..... just kind.
Are there some who would take advantage of that? Obviously. But it seems these days, the only answer people give for that problem is "root out any good will", "it's their own fault for being nice". They blame the victim, the one trying to fix things, instead of blaming the ones who broke it. In this case, the mom is called wrong for helping her sister; to which I say, no. The sister is responsible for her own choice, the fault is hers alone. We are all capable of only our own choices. We can receive anything, but what we do with it, is a choice all our own. And I will not condemn the person who chose to put kindness out into the world, while glossing over the one who chose to sow bitterness instead! The sister could have chosen to not take advantage of the mother, and since she didn't, she is in the wrong.
And to those who think that people cannot change: look at yourselves, would you make the same choices now that you had as a child, or even a year ago? We are always changing, bit by bit. Sometimes for worse, but sometimes for better as well. People are undeniably capable of change, it's just yet another matter of choice.
As for "human nature", in my own look at history and even biology/ecology, cooperation IS not only a possible path of humanity, but one that has been taken before. One that has propelled species and civilizations into being. Do you think the first city was built by a single man? Cooperation and competition both, are the cogs of evolution. Many species band together into groups to accomplish feats and ensure safety that no single one could. Evolution is "survival of the fittest", not "the strongest", and often, when times are hard, it is those that are willing to band together that are the fittest, not the lone one who lived only for itself. Such species often end up the top of their ecosystem, even. In fact our very bodies are made up of countless individual organisms that, over time, came together to form something greater, more complex. Where would we be today if the first cell fed only itself, and never formed up with others into multicellular beings? If the first atom, did not bond to another? If the first woman and man decided they didn't need each other?
Despite the naysayers, Cooperation has happened before and it can happen again. And it is the "people pleasers" that accomplished it, the ones that put others above themselves. The ones who fought and sacrificed for their kind, their country, their home, their loved ones. They are the ones upon which the world is built, I will not condemn them for extending a hand to another, even when it didn't succeed. To give up because it failed sometimes, is to turn a blind eye to all the times it has worked. That they tried was worth more than those who did not.
Edit: I got rather off topic philosophizing. But to the point, Rize is telling only partial truths to a lying end, ones that fail to truly reach the whole world and instead only paint a dark and twisted parody of the real thing. "Sometimes, to save one, they must let go of another", perhaps, sometimes; but sometimes you don't have to abandon anyone to save someone else, sometimes you can save someone else at your own expense. And sometimes, you can save everyone, even yourself. But you will certainly fail to save anyone when you don't try to do so. She takes one tragic example and then paints it across the whole world, that this is the cruel core of the world and will always happen: a partial truth used to paint a broader lie. As the final monologue of the series summed up, there is both cruelty and kindness in this wide world, to believe it is solely one or the other is just foolish, we just have to struggle on and still search for beauty.....
I disagree with your point as kaneki was weak and rize was a ghoul her hunger forces her to feed on humans if it were not for kanekis gullibility the events would not have taken place at all so it is kanekis weakness that allowed rize to act on her natural instinct
Furthermore, this is good advice considering the current world even for us humans it is a cruel path filled with pain rather than blame circumstances it is you that is responsible for those said circumstances so why blame the effect when the cause is at fault. In this world that we love in love itself has died and no form of it but betrayal remain it is us who allow it so yea the advise given by rize does apply to this world; if you deeply ponder.
Yet Rize is the most free and the happiest. You clearly misunderstood. Whether she is wise or correct is subjective. The fact is, Kaneki suffers because he walks on eggshells, Rize takes whatever she wants and never hurts from even a second thought. At the end of it all, when we are taking our last breaths, no god or heaven in sight, all that will matter is what you dod for you and yours and the rest is someone trying to make you feel like you owe the world but nobody does. I'd rather be the cruel one than the one carrying all of the pain
This actually got me out of a hard spot in life, ngl.
I feel that
I hope you’re doing a lot better and are still pushing even now
@@Noplectic Thank you. I'll let you know from time to time, but currently, I'm doing relatively fine
@@benjamintay9619 glad to hear I listen to this quite a bit so I’ll also be here whenever you come back probably
@@Noplectic Thank you. If you don't mind I tell a short-ish story, from 1:36 to 1:43, it really felt to me as though it's happening to my life since I always go neutral & play both sides. I always struggle when given the choice between two friends since I want to play both sides. In the end, it shattered my mind (figuratively shattered, but shattered as in it broke my mind) along with the countless amounts of friends that I had to leave behind/ had to leave me. And before I even seen this video, 2:03 to 2:16 was when I wished people stayed for me & I with them. But at least now, I've moved on from that phase. Sorry if this is long tho
Damn this scene hurts so much. .
"You have the power to break this chain of greife "
All my life I've put others before me and praised the tiniest amount of value that I saw in anybody, but when it came to me... I never saw any remnence of value in myself. I was content with being hurt so long as it made everyone else happy. But recently, I reached my breaking point and I found myself admitted to a hospital for a suicide attempt after blaming myself for something that wasn't my fault; the reason I took all the blame, and in turn viewed myself as a monster, was so that someone who I really cared about wouldn't have to suffer the thought of them being wrong in the two of us having a falling out. If it were my fault then I can suffer while they get to live their life guilt free. It wasn't about things being right or wrong it was about who gets hurt and who gets to be happy and for so long I gave up my own happiness for the sake of others. This world truly is messed up because kind people only exist to get taken advantage of, after all... "No good deed goes unpunished". Everyone has their limit.
Don’t be so quick to judge my friend. Only time tells how short lived is the happiness of those who cause pain to others.
In your case, you did what I also did, took the blame for something you didn’t do. Respect yourself to cut the cords and walk away from people and situations which make you unhappy and question your own self worth.
I survived a suicide, caused by trauma I faced when my partner cheated on me. I know how you feel. But trust me dear friend, no deed goes unrewarded, either with pain or happiness. What broke you, will help you find your inner light. But you can either use compassion and kindness to join the broken pieces, or you can choose vengeance and hatred. Whatever you choose, you’ll become that. I chose compassion and kindness, and that makes me write this to you. Otherwise, I would have simply liked your comment and moved on.
I understand where you come from. I too also put others before me and never found any form of value in myself. I would've been fine being invisible to the world with all the pain on me if it meant others would live happy lives. But the thing here is that the pain, physical, emotional or mental, will be the strength for tomorrow, and you'll find a skill that you might think is unique to only you, like what happened to me. I never got the chance to face my childhood traumas, but I used the fear and pain as my strength and found my unique skill of exploitation via desperation. I understand if you don't want to use your own fears and pain as your strength. I get it. But ultimately, it's up to you.
I came to realize that too actually. Your comment is something i can completely relate with. And even after knowing all of this, i still cant change myself. Why i wonder
@@nikhilsharma3563 cuz we have such a kind hart that's why and yeah make sure that if this fucking hart becm soft than we are dead no matter what happened in are life and never find love no matter what happen
To be happy is to hurt another that's what i learned.
My lover abandoned me for another man
My best friend abandoned me for her man
I accepted it and understood them
Because now i would do the same
I would hurt everyone and anyone for the sake of my own happiness
Im tired of being kind
Life is a game with no winners. It's easy to make anyone go crazy.
(Smh in agreement) that is true my friend, that is true
These scenes changed my whole personality ....!!!

I felt what she said amen.

This video actually fades from one image to another depending of when you nod or shake your head fast
1:00 Man I gotta find what this music is called. It’s so creepy but so FIRE at the same time
Yes who ever did this thank you
Good Boy~
Very nice video.
Nice guy do not finish last he never makes it events end even before he makes it possible.
I just realized a couple days ago that kaneki and Marco have the same dub voice actor that guy is amazing
He's Austin Tindle, the same guy who voices Karma in Assassination Classroom and Accelerator in the A certain Magical Index/Railgun series.
He and Crispin Freeman are among my top favourite VAs in Anime.
@@AM-mp7ug I knew his name at some point but forgot thanks for reminding me
@@Zak14014
No problem. 👍🏻
not a monica rial fan but her and austin really nailed this scene
And for the ones that don't watch anime, say it's just a cartoon.
2:05 Thats all i need to say.
Important life lesson
Destruction always seems beautiful when you see it from afar place
What is the OST that plays from 1:55?
edit: i found out, its called rize's melody, but i cant find an official release
"Good boy" - The audience 😏
They missed the line where she asked or will you die at the hands of yamori for the one part there lol
These words hit hard
fire
*Amazed quote*
