Talk:Ken Kaneki/@comment-26940038-20150908162439

Someone said a while ago that he/she believes that ":re" stands for "rebirth".

IMO its more plausible, that it simply stands for "return" since its a place for Kaneki to return, to. Touka said that this is what :re is all about, to give Kaneki a place where he can go to after he regained his memories.

It is a return for the manga, too since after TG :re is the return into this story. And in some way, :re is a return for Touka, Nishiki and Yomo to Anteiku, after the old one got destroyed.
