How can you be s​o sure about this being an asspull? We saw blood on Mutsuki's lip for some mysterious reason at the auction, and it turns out it was due to eating a ghoul. Its probably foolish to say it was all planned out, but to say it is an asspull is to discredit Ishida. He knew where he was going with the character to a fair degree. Why do you not think, with all the evidence to the factor, that Ishida does not put a decent amount of forethought into his work?

You say her mental stability was an issue, but have you seen how many blatantly derranged members of the CCG there are? With people like Juuzou and the guy who tortured Jason. Mutsuki came off as one of the more mundane cases. Hell, even Kureo made Mutsuki look fair when addressing surfacal traits.

I agree with Sunou, the chapter was expected, so we lost a little zest there, but it gave Mutsuki a new outlook and sense of uniqueness that otherwise would've just been Kaneki 2.0 if the background wasn't brought in.

Megane, I considered the killing off aspect since 2 chapters ago, and I concluded at this; Ishida kills off characters that don't benefit the story much, so Mutsuki would be dead if Ishida didn't have plans for her. Characters have sat out until their time before. If Ishida killed her off now, then that would essentially make it harder for the fanbase to take death seriously, which they barely do now. Mutsuki has been set up to be an important person. Everytime she heard or told a lie, she'd grip or tug on her clothes. This was a foreshadowing trait. If nothing else, this is no asspull.

I did ask for your quarrels, but I expected a little more criticism from ya as opposed to just firing shots at the series. Almost as if you decided you weren't going to be content with this chapter from the start. Ahh, who am I kidding. I'm just as biased in my defense.
