Talk:Eto Yoshimura/@comment-24231905-20150921005754

I think a lot of you are misguided when you assume Eto will face some kind of punishment, at least not without a heavy price. Remember, this manga is a tragedy and I think we are all well acquainted with Ishida's style of writing.

Revenge against Yamori was exacted. But that ended with Kaneki being radically changed, arguably for the worse - he lost his gentleness and become a lot more ruthless.

That investigator that tortured Yamori into what he was, placed blame for animal murder on Juuzou and Mutsuki - he's still alive and kicking now. And he's still allowed to work in CCG facilities.

Arata was a compassionate man who loved his family and only sustained on corpses. He eventually fell to CCG hands and become Quinque armor.

I could go on and on with examples about this... but that'd take far too long.

This approach to writing is overall more realistic. Bad things will happen to good people, and good things will happen to bad people. I think it's naive to assume that there is somekind of invisible, holy and eternally fair system of justice at work in Tokyo ghoul.

And honestly, I would only be mildly surprised that Ishida pulls out a sick twist of fate and ends up allowing Eto to live after :re. Albeit maybe with painful regret, but still.
