@furutasmole

regardless you still replied to something i didn't mention in my post.

can you please clarify what you mean about touka's page? bc i don't get what you or dayne are trying to say here. my point initially was that touka is the character who is criticised for being saved/reduced into a damsel in distress the most even though ayato was saved an equal number of times. idk it just seems like the usual shtick for criticising female characters more harshly than their male counterparts.

and when is touka glorified for her actions lol? her fans celebrate her bc they love her, which is exactly what fans of every character do, including ayato fans at that.

the :re group was included in cochlea for these reasons:

>plot device to get hinami away from danger while kaneki concentrated on arima

>way to build suspense between touka and kaneki meeting again

>expand on ayato's feelings towards hinami

>provide backstory and context for yomo working in :re (consequential revelation that he is touka's uncle & strengthened parallels between hikari/touka, yomo/ayato and kaneki/arata)

>touka saying “see you later” was likely one of the things which triggered kaneki's hide hallucination and the consequential realisation that he wanted to live

>good way to set up hinami/ayato joining :re

>would be out of character for touka not to help save hinami

in addition to this, touka & yomo showing up was a little expected bc this arc parallels the aogiri arc and here touka teamed up with other anteiku members to rescue kaneki > :re teams up to rescue hinami.
