Tokyo Ghoul is a senien manga which place emphasis on realism. If Takizawa had died and been dismembered by Noro or Tatara it would have been tragic but it is would be considered normal because he knew what he getting into when he decided to join a law enforcement agency. It is even more ironic becuase he wanted to be in the action and he got his wish in most terrible way possible.

His conversion into a ghoul because he did the right thing is normal in the Tokyo Ghoul universe since many characters have ended up in horrible situations or fates because they decided to do the right thing. Takizawa became an investigator because a neighbor was killed and he wanted to make a difference to sooth his mother's fear. From his experience and perspective he considered ghouls to be monsters and he wanted to be in the field killing them so he could be recongized and lauded for protecting innocents and dispatching monsters. His assumed torture and new disposition as the Owl serves to contrast him to Suzuya and Haise also experienced similar circumstances. Despite their traumas they managed to recover or retain a degree of their empathy and humanity but Takizawa has completely embraced being the ravenous Owl of Aogiri and has no concern with his past human life or acquiantances. That is the tragedy of Takizawa.
