So it's simple..It must be Option 2 or Option 5...It's tough for me to choose between them ...To be realistic Eto isn't really major character..She's major in this arc after Tsukiyama's extermination operation ... So people, please don't forget about other parts of TG...We shall not change backgrounds after every arc..So..It must be between 2 or 5 .... I agree with: TG and :re not being all about Ken, Eto, EtoKen or whatevs. You're right: this manga offers plenty of colourful characters; sticking with just two of them would undoubtedly feel very limiting. Still, in my opinion, the option you mentioned are too outdated and I've thought the outdatedness of the current background was the reason why we're changing it for a fresher one. If we chose something with the same problem, why even bother changing this actual background to begin with?

I don't agree with: Eto not being a major character. She's been the primary antagonist of the series, having this role since TG and keeping it for all the first part of re: it's enough to define her as a major character, for me. The fact she's had little of her backstory revealed only recently doesn't diminish the importance of her figure throughout both mangas. In lack of an option fulfilling all the mentioned requirements that I liked, choosing a beautiful and recent art portraying the protagonist with the major antagonist seemed like a very good compromise to me.

Ishida oftentimes draws pictures but it's either sketchy or it only features one character. So you can't really do anything about that. The most recent also features only Arima and Kaneki (but it could work as a background, too). I reckon we could change it if Ishida decides to draw a group picture again, though. As for me I don't really know what to chose.. Oh, that'd be cool. If Ishida draws another group picture I will think of reconsidering my vote for sure.
