Oooh, good point about the two Shironekis. I had always thought about there being two in relation to how the Quinx line up to aspects of Kaneki from the original series. But you're right that the original series really didn't spend much time on the second Shironeki, the one that realizes his mistakes and is trying to become more himself again. (I think fandom tends to be too caught up in Kaneki being "badass" to realize that Hide's conversation with Touka is so important. That the Hard Mode Kaneki isn't really him, but rather the "role" he is forcing himself to play.)
