^ Once again, he hasn´t died over and over. He hasn´t even died once in the whole series...

What he has been doing, is no different from a insect shedding its old skin as it grow bigger and bigger, stronger with each shedding. Multiple insects does that in their life-cycle (spiders and scorpions included, but they´re not insects...) so once again, the insect theme is right there as another proof.

His kakuja didn´t have six tails (the guy isn´t a bikaku you know,) it had six legs. Another trait that seperates the "insects" from the "arthopods"(spiders) and he was using them as such as well.

No phoenix or mythological creature to speak of.

The shadow isn´t a bird, I´ve been looking and it´s more akin to his kakuja mask than a seperate creature. A old shed from a former shedding, hinting at his metamorphosis once more as his new form begins to shed his human skin as seen in the left half of the picture with the black body bursting out from him like a cicada from its shell.

The Insect-theme is strong with Kaneki Ken...

and it makes a whole lot more sense than this "phoenix myth" theory which lacks any proof or evidence to hold when compared to the setting, the character and the whole universe of Tokyo ghoul in general. No matter how strong anyone preaches this theory, the truth is that Kaneki isn´t something special in his own eyes. He´s just a insect in his own mind, born from the issues he suffered in life at the hands of everyone else.

A mere insect. (which also is the one species with the widest biodiversity and variation on the planet with millions of species and more discovered every day... so I say that being Insect-themed is way better than being associated with a mythological overhyped bird which´s only significant ability is to resurrect once every 500 years...)

Just saying.
