For starters, all of this critism is unfounded and plain stupid.

Why?

Because believe it or not, Tokyo ghoul actually takes on a realistic approach on how the world and the rumor mill actually works.

Who overhyped all of these ghouls? (sans Washuu)...CCG did.

And we have seen already from time and time again that when it comes to judgment, they're worthless. The rating system itself is nothing but guesses and false estimations.

Also, it has infuriated me to no end whenever I see someone get hyped up due to "being the leader off-" or "The brother of-" or "Founder of-" and then the readers expect them to be as epic as the rumor claims them to be.

Why this infuriates me?

Well, what does being "the leader/founder/Relative" of someone or something even matter?

Yes, someone founded something, doesn't mean anything regarding strength or power.

So Tatara's brother was a beast? What does that have to do with Tatara? It was his brother who was the beast, not him. The accomplishments of others can never be put on the individual, reality doesn't work like that.

So what does it matter that Roma were 51, the founder of the clowns and had a kakuja? The first two meant shite since age and accomplishment speaks nothing of one's physical abilities. Being the founder of a group doesn't make you the strongest member of said group, especially if the group in question doesn't even value physical strenght, but is more composed of a bunch of tricksters that rather sit back and watch everything play out rather than taking direct action themselves.

Roma's rating was given by CCG, which means that it, like everything else CCG does, was inaccurate, overhyped, and plain mistaken.

Roma had a kakuja, but that doesn't mean she knew how to use it properly, especially considering that she left her original core exposed right on its forehead without even considering covering it up like Eto does.

Short answer? Roma is not a fighter. She's a trickster, yes, but those tend to be really poor in a straight head-to-head combat. Her loss to Urie was expected, especially considering that this was the first time in a LONG while, she actually stepped up on the battlefield to fight for real.

And skills does not remain untouched if used after a long time of inactivity. no matter what manga or anime tells otherwise.

She got rusty and that added to her loss.

In the end, she was just a senior citizen from a old war, driving a tank.

Knew enough to drive the thing, no shots left in it, and basically used it as a bulldozer to drive over anyone else in front of it.

So no, the story wasn't heading down, if anything, Ishida is basically crushing so many cliches and shounen tropes that I can only applaud the man for doing so.

This is a realistic seinen.

Not some bull-shounen.

So it's not garbage.

It's a take-that masterpiece.
