He served his purpose of illustrating the abundant power of Takizawa. I'm a big fan of his kakuja design, and his backstory, but he serves no purpose to the story now. I honestly cannot think of a way to insert him into the current flow and storyline of :re, without it seeming forced or blatant fan pandering. Either way, regardless of whether he's alive or dead, people will still bitch. However, there just really isn't a reason for him to be alive. Tatara is dead because there is no purpose for which he needs to live in the story correlating to Kaneki's current goals. So why do we need to debate on miniscule points seen in a panel, and why don't we just let him stay where he is? As Dayne stated earlier, theorizing based solely on trying to be right, while still being dependent on an author's whims, is just a little silly. So can't we just give this topic a rest? Just as I see no reason for Tatara to be alive, I see no reason for why this debate has gone on as long as it has. Just thought I'd throw in my two cents.
