Talk:Ken Kaneki/@comment-25742728-20150817171718

Okay, so I would like to point out one thing. I currently have 5 volumes of the Root A BD and there are ALOT of scenes that did not appear in the anime but are in the BDs. Until the last volume (Episodes 11&12) comes out which is next week, it will most likely have extra scenes in it which would answer our questions on what happened to Kaneki instead of giving us a glimpse of his white hair that implies that he is unconsciously lying on the ground which was the last scene before the credits. But until then, i would like to argue that Kaneki has most likely died in the anime. Here's why:

Unlike in the manga, only a very few investigators were aware of Centipede's identity and When Arima took him in, it was supposedly done secretively. But in root A, he walked towards a swarm of CCG  without a mask and now a shit ton of them are aware of his identity. Arima took him in because he felt pity towards Kaneki being a victim of Kanou, but because he is a member of Aogiri, there is no need to treat him like one anymore and Arima has no use of him. If he wanted to take him in, he would have done it right after takin him out but it was already morning and Arima was still standing there. Another thing, a few scenes after Kaneki's encounter with Arima in the anime, it shows Arima standing in an open spot which is supposed to be Kaneki's body laying in there but I know that the anime censored it which made it looked like an empty snowy ground and Arima had Narukami whipped out instead of IXA, which was used to pierce through Kaneki's eyes. As far as I know with Narukam is a far more thicker blade than IXA which is why it cant be used to stab through kaneki's head so it means that Arima has given him a different treatment in the anime instead of the eyefuck. IMO, the final scene where Touka opens :RE is just more of a hats off to the manga readers instead of a teaser since Touka's smirk was a sign of her getting over kaneki's loss and focusing on starting over.
