^ Yeah, but they were expected to be dead. And this would be already the second time that they turn out to be alive after their supposed deaths. Even though I like both of them I feel like it would have made more sense for them to die at the Anteiku raid. Returning once is acceptable, returning twice is just lame.

It's similar with Naki. A story just needs some deaths if it want's to be dramatic, dark and serious. Killing off tons of nameless characters isn't enough. Naki's death was a very emotional scene and the first consequently dramatic event in a long time. A well written death can improve a story and with Naki that was the case.

The whole power spurt thing is something most fans don't want to see in Tokyo Ghoul. Because it's a cheap and boring way to keep characters alive. We already got tons of characters who just turn out to be One Eyed Ghouls after their supposed deaths.

Eto on the other hand was never really assumed to be dead. As far as I can tell many expected her to return at some point. In my opinion Tokyo Ghoul was missing something essential without her. And with the way her status was unknown for a long time it just makes sense for her to turn out to be alive.
