^ Long post, sure. But a really good one, in my opinion. Takizawa really was one of the more genuinely human characters in the original series. And by that, I mean he was incredibly normal with a fairly regular background and ambitions in life. He was insecure, he had very typical fears and responded realistically to them. He wasn't super-special, and kind of the face of the typical Ghoul Investigator as opposed to all the exceptional folks he worked with.

And he kind of showed how clueless and shallow most humans' views on Ghouls were. Even someone from the Academy knew jack all about Ghouls, which shows how ignorant humans tend to be about them.

Then everything went to hell in a hand-basket, and all because he acted selflessly for the people he cared about.
