However, this is not the main change, his physical appearance makes him unrecognizable. A very big change and maybe the biggest development can be seen on Takizawa: SPOILER ALERT: a very young ghoul investigator becomes a ghoul. A sad development can be seen on Tsukiyama as he turns into a weak creature who suffers a lot. He is more attractive and used to hate Ken Kaneki but later on he accepts him as a friend. Also Ayato made a drastic change from season 2. A further ghoul investigator is Jūzō Suzuya who was a young crazy boy feeling numbness but now he starts showing some emotions towards others (e.g. From Ken Kaneki being firstly a gentle young boy into a crazy ‘beast’ and now being a ghoul investigator.

For example Sasaki changes a lot in his physical appearance and his personality.
Who are the 5 investigators in tokyo ghoul re openin series#
The main point in the series is the development of the characters over the seasons. Also Urie, a member from the Quinx Squad regains some flashbacks of his father being killed by ghouls and that he wants to revenge him. The anime series also shows the background stories of minor characters such as Jūzō Suzuya as he meets Big Madame again, the female ghoul who raised him as a pet. However his personality changes drastically after having met Kaneki’s new group (Kaneki/Sasaki working as an investigator). Tsukiyama has a very selfish and cruel personality as he mostly cares for himself. He strictly follows orders and deeply shows respect to other investigators, especially Sasaki. He sees himself as weak and this leads him to frustration.

Mutsuki is very kind and also a bit shy when it comes to his self-confidence. The new characters are especially those from Sasaki’s Quinx Team such as Tōru and Urie. We like the fact that new characters appear but also that the familiar ones stay such as Touka and Nishiki from the Anteiku cafe (where Kaneki/Sasaki has started working in season 1), Tsukiyama, Ayato and Eto, just to mention a few. Indeed, ghouls have the ability to regenerate missing body parts however this does not mean that they don’t feel the same pain as humans. They torture the ghouls in horrible ways like cutting of their tongues. Some scenes show that humans are more brutal and cruel than ghouls. Also his child version comes up and tries to help him.īesides serious topics, many horror and bloody scenes are present. This is perfectly shown in his subconscious as you can see the various personalities of him. For instance, his former ‘I’ Ken Kaneki still lives in him and tries to break out to take control over his body. A further serious topic affects the main protagonist Sasaki as he suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder which is a disorder of having multiple personalities. For example dysphoria is visible as the ghoul investigator Tōru is often referred with ‘he’ and ‘him’ but in fact ‘he’ is actually a girl who dresses up like a guy. The anime series contains serious topics which makes it even more interesting. Will he ever gain his memories back? The fact that he is Ken Kaneki: will he ever accept his former life as Kaneki and go back to the side of the ghouls? There, we have to remember season 2 where Kaneki ended up as a ‘cannibal monster’. Due to these confusing memories, Sasaki starts getting crazy. A further interesting part are the flashbacks Sasaki gets especially during fights. Also old organisations from the seasons before still exist such as the Aogiri tree with Ayato, Eto and with Hinami being a new member. They undergo a dangerous surgery to receive their abilities, the kagunes. Investigators from CCG, who actually hate ghouls, want to become like them. The plot of the anime series is interesting and amusing. He starts slowly to remember the real person he used to be and that this is all just a facade. However, Sasaki’s hidden and forgotten memories start popping up in his mind. Their leader is Haise Sasaki, who is a half ghoul being trained by a high classed CCG member, Kishou Arima. These members are humans who have undergone a surgery to make use of the abilities of ghouls. A new team has been created, the Quinx Squad, who helps the CCG to eliminate the ghouls.

Also the terrorist organisation Aogiri Tree, consisting of ghouls, has increased their power as they realize that the CCG becomes a bigger threat to the existence of ghouls. After two years, the situation in Tokyo has changed as the anti-ghoul organisation CCG starts getting more and more aggressive.
