I get what you're trying to say and I don't disagree with you on that point.

However, I'm trying to point that parallels are thing that shouldn't be overused. Because then parallels lose their purpose and become repetitive thing that invokes nothing. It starts to feel like saying "Hi" instead of hold anything meaningful.

For example, Touka and Kaneki parallel to Arata and Hikari and Kuzen and Ukina. Now that one will be cool parallel if unlike them, Touka and Kaneki manage to do things differently instead of having story repeat. That would be meaningful parallel.

But copying old antagonist for new one? That is just doing it to give overnight hype to some character that no one cared for so she can be interesting and liked now just because she resembles so much the other popular character. That is far from being meaningful parallel.

It like when your dog dies and first thing your parents do is buy you new dog thinking you will forget the old one. This is that same case. Since Eto was amazing character that was handled extremely poorly if I might add, writer is trying to make new Eto with Roma so people can calm about Eto and how she was handled by focusing on Roma as her replacement.
