Talk:Rio (game)/@comment-26358011-20151218193827/@comment-92.205.228.40-20151218211640

Honestly i don't think Rio will appear in the manga or if he does he will be treated as someone new and not as part of the :re group. It would be just too weird to suddenly see him as part of the group like he's been always there when he was never involved in anything in manga canon. Ishida didn't even hint at him showing up, not even in the christmas chapter or when Tsukiyama went to :re to talk about Kaneki's memories there was no Rio at all.

If Kijima was still alive i could see a plot about him and Rio continuing their fights from jail but the potato is already dead so the guy doesn't even have a purpose. So personally i take the :re route in TG jail as an alternate TG like root a.
