ugh why in the hell people brought up Naruto in TG. AND WHAT IS THERE TO COMPARE BETWEEN THIS TWO SERIESSSSS????

and to those people who said Touka is as useless as *insert a character*. I dont know how you define 'useless' in TG-verse but if it's about action, you guys need to remember that TG and :re never focus on action in its plot. Unlike Naruto and other shonen manga where battlefield is where the characters find their resolves, TG plays A LOT in physiological department to develop the characters. By physiological I meant that a character in TG went through various events in order for character to grow. Not to mention, how they relate to each other gives a damn huge impacts to both story and the character and certainly the relationship is not solely built from fighting.

In defense of Touka, what do you expect from her? to slaughter every single CCG investigator? chasing Kaneki and snapped the out of him? Do you ever wonder why did Touka does not pursue him when she could easily ask Hinami his whereabout? because it's part of how Ishida is going to shape her character. She decided to respect his decision, she decided to focus of her real deal of her life by studying so that she can help her kind later on. She reflected on her mistakes killing people needlessly out of rage and food. She continued to tresure what's left in her life (Anteiku, Kaneki, Ayato, Yoriko etc) Rather than questioning her useful-ness in TG, it's more to how her character is actually functioning. Her flaws and weaknesses is one of Touka's charms imo. She's far from perfect, she committed mistakes and as Yomo said, she needs to grow up and killing is not the solution. All of this makes Touka as very relatable character in TG. Despite being a monster, she actually posses those humanly traits, dealing those raging teenage stage. We barely got anything on her character in :re but people had been noticing her changes in attitude and this, if you do not notice yet, is called character development.

Also I need to add that TG, the 2nd half of it after the Anteiku Raid focused more on Kaneki's journey more than anyone. Touka played a prominent role before and knowing Ishida, there must be a reason as to why she was casted aside despite her massive popularity.

and can we pls stop with Eto vs Touka thing? Barely happened between them (esp with Eto/Kaneki) and now people are starting shipping mess here.I am baffled as to why Touka ended up as a target in every single shipwar related Kaneki(Shuu/Kaneki, Hide/Kaneki, Rize/Kaneki and now Eto/Kaneki??) Are you guys threathened that much towards Touka/Kaneki relationship that people cant leave her alone? and cant you guys treat her more than as a love interest of the MC?

Pls shipwar probably the last thing I want to see in TG fandom. Damnn things were so much better back in the days where TG was barely known.

Sorry to spit this out in long words but I had enough with some of the TG fans in this website.
