Andy here! Woah, loads of reply overnight. Hehe, this is gonna be fun.

I don't think Kaneki is going to be tortured again either too. Although the question thing is, a character being tortured shouldn't be a recurring theme. Much like how someone on this board once said, breaking half of a character's bones is something special, so it being special, it shouldn't be repeated. But we've had Seidou who's been tortured as well in a similar manner to Kaneki. If Ishida decides to torture every character the same way Kaneki was, I think it would just degrade how special the moment was for us to see when Kaneki transitioned. I don't agree with the Qs being tortured, although I did think Mutsuki was the most likely candidate for this, but it seems that it might not end up that way entirely.

Regarding Saiko's past, Sasaki has said that her mother doesn't seem to care for her much, much like how Kaneki's mother didn't have time for him or how his aunt didn't care for him when he was left in her care.

As for Shirazu, I don't think Kanou has anything to do with how Shirazu's sister ended up that way. I could look at it deeper and come up with a theory that Haru went to Dr. Kanou as a child and he injected something into her as an early experiment, but that would be a farfetched theory that's just looking for a connection between Kaneki and Shirazu, that they were somehow hurt by Kanou in their lives whether indirectly or directly. If Kanou is going to have anything to do with Haru, and this is very unlikely, it would be taking Haru for an experiment later on, enraging Shirazu to go after him, but I personally can't picture a scenario where this happens, not yet anyways.

Sorry about my confusion in the books and movies talk, then I completely understand. There are recurring themes, and like you said, I might be overthinking, and Ishida might not have put in that much thought (but something tells me that's not really the case, or maybe due to the anonymity of his or her identity, I've been trying to fill up what kind of person of he or she is by assuming these things).

I do agree that Sasaki shouldn't kill Eto. Yoshimura asked Kaneki to save his daughter, and for Sasaki to say those things about Sen Takatsuki in :re, hints that he might even try to save her in the future chapters, but something tells me she won't survive it, mainly because how she's been built up and how cruel she can be, she might end up being redeemed but killed right after, in a sense, similar to how she likes writing and seeking out tragedies, once she's finally overcome that obessesion and try to live right for once, karma might come back and bite her in the ass. Akira, Urie, Juuzou, Seidou, and possibly even Amon (I doubt this one) might still have unfinished business to deal with her. If anyone was going to stand up for her, Touka might be the one who would allow her to live a peaceful life after all she's done to hurt Kaneki and the others. Touka did say in Chapter 42 that the reason :re exists is because if Kaneki's memories return and he has no place to go, he can come back to :re as it will always be his home. I think that that's as far as Touka is willing to help her out, considering how she really matured over the years from the start of the series as a girl who hated the world, she became a girl who had hoped that even if the wrong world had won (Kaneki said that the one who was wrong wasn't him, that it was the world) by taking Kaneki's life away, she still had hope that he would return. Considering how she is now, I'm pretty sure she can be extremely forgiving. She tolerated Nishiki, who tried to eat Hide, attack Kaneki, and even Tsukiyama for that extent. She didn't go after CCG Investigators for raiding Anteiku like she did with Mado when he killed Hinami's parents.

In any case, Andy out!
