^You're really fired up when it comes to romance, Blue Luna. :)

Kaneki developing passed the point of virgin hero/protagonist is something that appeals to me as well. Because it would officially transition from kid Kaneki thrown into the ghoulworld to adult Kaneki taking up arms to change that same world. This all happening with us still remembering Kaneki as the 18year-old kid feels as lackluster characterdevelopment. It's one thing to make him grow physically and mentally strong, but without making him grow emotionally/socially as well, it won't feel like a complete development when he reaches the finale. There is a need for a clear transition/evolution in the Kaneki we started to story with and the one that ends it.

Touka imo is a great example of that. She differs night & day from her passed self and clearly looks much more like an adult then any other now. Ishida knows how to create and make a character look much more mature and level-headed, which I hope he eventually does with Kaneki as well.

Regarding the romance development, should it happen between Touka & Kaneki. There doesn't need to be much screentime put into it, since the whole fandom already feels it coming from miles away. He only needs to insert the occasional glimpse of affection from either character to each other to settle this plotpoint.

And Touka having a Kakuja, please no. It would go against all that Touka is right now, calm & collected, a guarding beacon, while kakuja just implies a wicked force that extinguishes all lights until it's completely dark (=slaughter).
