I would have loved for TG to be a tragic romance, as long as it ended up like it did. I could have even went for an OVA with he and Tauka being happy and everyone else too, maybe even a little flirting from Kaneki. That would have been awesome. Thank you for this video
Kinda too late to say this, but to those who haven't read it yet, in Tokyo Ghoul: Days, the first light novel of Tokyo Ghoul, there is a 6-part chapter on Touka. If you haven't read the light novel yet, read it. (If you'd want to, of course) The chapter starts off right after Touka killed Senior Investigator Mado. Touka and Yoriko, her best friend, are slowly difting apart due to slight bullying of some other girls within the class. As Touka starts to stress of what she should do to make amends with Yoriko, Kaneki notices that his coworker is stressed and tries to help her - of course, Touka shouts at him. At the end, she finally asks Kaneki to help her make a lunchbox for a cancelled event that the two girls have (somewhat) planned together. While Kaneki cooked most of the food in Touka's apartment, the text says: "Watching Kaneki's profile as he cooked felt somehow nostalgic to Touka." (Chapter 2, Lunch Boxes, pg.88) Who knows, maybe the light novels could have put in more of a romance factor within the story of Tokyo Ghoul. If we were to say that these novels are canon. They could be canon, it says that the original story is by Sui Ishida, yet written by Shin Towada. Also, there's the thing that Sui Ishida made the 10 characters who are not in Tokyo Ghoul, and drew all pictures within the light novel. Stuff. You guys decide.
If you want to talk about ships in anime and/or manga, I'd recommend starting with the more or less confirmed ships in TG and slowly introduce us to ships in other manga and anime. It would introduce us to Manga and anime we've never heard of and it would give us a little insight into the story. As for TG ships, Hinami implies that she wants a kid in the last chapter with Ayato when she says kids are adorable, and Ayato's response to it are pretty much expected followed by her laughing.
I totally get your point and I have to say I agree. For me one thing that made Tokyo Ghoul especially tragic was the absence of little nuiances of love. Don't get me wrong, there is love in the series - like you pointed out Touka, Hinami, and Tsukiyama, but also his love for Hide (friendly love), the feelings between Amon and Akira, and everyone else - unless they were complete psychopaths they have people they care for. And you can see they care for each other in the simple fact that they fight together, or for one another, want to protect each other etc - and that is beautiful. Actions speak louder than words so I don't have a doubt of the characters' strong connections with each other. I have no doubt that for example Kaneki and Touka spent cute time together 'behind the scenes' as well. If you want to create a family with someone then that on it's own means the world. But, it's also important to show those things. All of the feelings and struggles Kaneki and Touka had because of their own past or just because of difficult times - those could've been shared with each other. Sharing is caring you know. They could have supported each other even more and that would have made the story or the manga even more emotional, for the both of them and the other characters and of course, for us readers as well. I ain't dissin on my favourite manga but I do love to discuss it, and I completely agree that even though it is masterfully crafted and you are aware of people loving each other, there just could have been so much more of it. And it definitely would not have made the manga worse in quality, but rather raised it up even more! For me that's also why I love fanart. It's like all the fans who also want more of the squishy feelings just draw Kaneki, Touka, or whoever else having a great time, because you know that it happened, but we just didn't get to see it. Community ftw! Thanks for the great vid! :b
As much as I am happy that Kaneki got a happy ending, I feel as if the romance between Touka was a bit forced, considering we haven't seen much of her development during the :Re series. If anything, I'd much rather see Kaneki not end up with anyone, but rather see him surrounded by people who love him and care for him. I believe it'd be much more fitting to his character since he does need a lot of emotional support, especially from his closest friends aka Hide, Tsukiyama, Hinami, Nishiki, etc. (Especially Hide, since Kaneki mentions him a lot throughout the story) It'll feel more refreshing and satisfying in a sense to just see him surrounded by his friends.
I think it’s wild ppl don’t like Touka and think she wasn’t really all there, cuz like playing aloofness was a PART of her character. I think ppl who don’t like her just don’t look deep enough or only do in Re when they get together.
I’ve actually thought about this multiple times before. I’m such a sucker for romance but not only romance, TRAGIC ROMANCE. So just thinking about how tragically beautiful the Romance could be in Tokyo Ghoul is just so fun. You explained it perfectly!! When you brought up Your Lie in April I died inside all over again thinking about it. SO LIKE TOKYO GHOUL ROMANCE DEFINITELY HAD THE POTENTIAL TO JUST RUIN OUR LIVES. Long story short thank you for this video because this type of stuff is always in my mind and it’s so cool to see that someone else thinks about these things too!
I thought this was going to turn into a shipping war or something when I read the title, that would have been something. It's good to see you back at it again with your videos! 💪👌
Can you do a re version of this video next? Whatever game you’re playing looks interesting as hell. Not a lot of authors are good at doing romantic subplots but it depends on how you do it. I once found a video about romantic subplots in a video by overly sarcastic productions and it really helped me understand how it should be done in a story, at least I thinks so give it a watch and see what you think. Oh right Amon and Akira.
Sorry to be commenting on a two year old video but I think it also would've been interesting if rize would've strung kaneki along a bit longer, and ended up trying to eat him in the way she did in more of a crime of passion way instead of a crime of opportunity as she did in the og story
You know what... I like your thoughts on this :) Although re: obv has a lot more romance TG had like a school boy romance. IMO And completely agree on tsukiyama, I dunno what I would be like if he had died, (even though I didn’t like him in TG, I love him in re:)
Romance is one of the things that I dislike about Tokyo Ghoul RE. I don't think romance should've been added. When I was watching TG I never got the feeling that Kaneki and Touka had anything more than a brother and sister type of love. I feel like they just forced it into RE to get more viewers/readers. Now I do ship Kaneki and Hide but even though I ship them I still wouldn't want a romance between them in the show if they did actually get them together (I know they didnt but-) I'd feel like just giving hints of romance instead of forcing it in and focusing on romance would be better. This is all how I feel but I don't like Touka and Kaneki together, I like Touka but I always liked that she was independent and doing her own thing and I like that she wasn't just there to be a love interest. If Touka was going to be with anyone I'd much rather have her be with Yomo, that would be a better fit, than her and kaneki. The way they had their relationship was perfect, it showed that you can be friends with the opposite sex and care about them without having to be in love with them. Plus I don't think any kind of romance really fits in with the theme of the show to be honest.
bleh the idea of tsukiyama and kaneki together is just so ew to me like tsukiyama just seems like he'd be toxic with anyone. also, about kaneki's relationship with women in general, ya notice rize has long hair and glasses and dresses like a mature woman? she definitely looks like a *mature woman* so just say in, maybe we know kaneki's type...
Sorry for being gone for so long, I've been a horrible content creator and just trying to pave my way.
Thank you for waiting.
love you.
Dresrosa your great man. Love your content.
I would love to hear from you more Manga recommendations to read.
We love you Dres, take your time. 😁
We love you Dres, take your time. 😁
Absolutely love this video. Such a risky move pulling out the romance topic. Good shit. I appreciate this video so much.
Tokyo ghoul a masterpiece
damn i miss Tokyo Ghoul
I would have loved to see touka realize that oh my god I’m in love with kaneki and yomo like i all ready know it since part 1
I would have loved for TG to be a tragic romance, as long as it ended up like it did. I could have even went for an OVA with he and Tauka being happy and everyone else too, maybe even a little flirting from Kaneki. That would have been awesome. Thank you for this video

Thanks for the great vid! :b
The fact that he mentioned Romance between Shuu and Kaneki is creaking me up sooo bad. I'm sorry 😭
As much as I am happy that Kaneki got a happy ending, I feel as if the romance between Touka was a bit forced, considering we haven't seen much of her development during the :Re series.

Wish my boy Juuzou got a girl.
Imo Tokyo Ghoul is 10/10, Tokyo Ghoul RE is like an 8. Everything after the Arima fight was super rushed. Including Touka and Kaneki's relationship.
superb video, dude. I've never played ABZU before but damn, that was relaxing to watch. Can't wait until your next one!
Your Lie In April = Tears Angel Beats = Tears again. Lesson? Try to hide your tears from your sister.
I liked Tsukyama and that photographer girl though :'(
so happy ur back man
I thought this was going to turn into a shipping war or something when I read the title, that would have been something. It's good to see you back at it again with your videos! 💪👌
YES LET'S BEAT A DEAD HORSE
I
LOVE
THIS
Happy youre back, man
Frog approves video. Welcome back Crocy
You thumbnails are beautiful
Your lie in April had me in tears
Can you do a re version of this video next?
Whatever game you’re playing looks interesting as hell.
Not a lot of authors are good at doing romantic subplots but it depends on how you do it. I once found a video about romantic subplots in a video by overly sarcastic productions and it really helped me understand how it should be done in a story, at least I thinks so give it a watch and see what you think.
Oh right Amon and Akira.
GAME IS ABZU
Sorry to be commenting on a two year old video but I think it also would've been interesting if rize would've strung kaneki along a bit longer, and ended up trying to eat him in the way she did in more of a crime of passion way instead of a crime of opportunity as she did in the og story
I pray to usopp would u like to be converted to usoppism
Weird no comments yet. Awesome man keep it up 👏👏👏💪💪💪
It would be nice if you do a review about Happy Sugar Life anime due to your interest in psychological and horror anime.
Tsukiyama is best girl
Keep up the great content man.
please do berserk in comedy, i can imagine it being something like hellsing abridge.
I need that berserk into a comedy video
You know what... I like your thoughts on this :)
Although re: obv has a lot more romance TG had like a school boy romance. IMO
And completely agree on tsukiyama, I dunno what I would be like if he had died, (even though I didn’t like him in TG, I love him in re:)
It’s alright... made me laugh 😆
And then i thought, maybe Dresrosa will upload today.
id be interested in seeing naruto as a tragedy
Do you think rewritting to have a tragic romance between Kaneki and Rize would work?
I feel like Romance will kinda change the tragedy tone (like you said)
Its alot like Hisoka in Hunter X Hunter.
I want dress background music to be played in every elevator everywhere
Is it just me who thinks Kaneki and Rize were tied with red string of fate ?
Have you thought about doing what if videos on Tokyo ghoul:re
What if kaneki defeated suzuya
Thank you for your time

Why are u so smart towards these types of things.
I don’t know what to say except for: yay
It would get you more debates in this comment section.
I’m going to type a random word and see if Dresrosa will like it:
Bark
Well now I want more romance damnit
What the hell is with this title Dressrosa? Just asking because I cared a little bit about the romance but more on the actual story
Me:touka married rize kakuhou but a man own it
*mind fucking blowned*

What if kaneki never lose to arima
I kinda wish
