I never really understood calling Sasaki weak because he's not as strong as other characters, especially in comparison to Arima who's the Chuck Norris of TG... That happens with a lot of the characters in this fandom actually.

Anyway, the physical strength of the characters in this series has never really been played up for cathartic reasons, not that much anyway. It is an action series, and that's one of the reasons I enjoy it, though it's one more interested in analyzing the characters, why they want to become stronger, and how that affects them. Strength is very much a double edged sword in this series and I don't think we're really supposed to cheer when our heroes are literally losing their minds over power.

Watching the characters kick ass is fun, though the action is technically secondary and is used more as a device for character introspection. Shifting focus to having characters be kick ass to be kick ass kind of losses a chunk of the story.

I'm good with :re having the pace it does with Sasaki's development. I want to see Kaneki again too, but not at the expense of a character that's been there for barely two dozen chapters cause he ain't as cool. Boy-o needs time to settle in first.
