Talk:Ken Kaneki/@comment-3969505-20141112150828

In keeping with the fatalistic themes of this story, IMO Ken Kenki was never supposed to walk out of the hospital alive, the day of the rize's seduction attack/"steel incident" ? he was supposed to die there, he was never meant to survive that incident, the fact that he did was pretty much a deal with the devil, forced by a third party without his conscious consent (keeping with the "life ain't fair, deal with it bitch" general theme that is so prevalent in this manga) and he lived only long enough to be manipulated and used by everyone who wanted the good ol mad doctor flushed out of hiding or some other agenda or just for kicks.

poor guy was never intended to be anything but just another random casuality of the Ghouls predation on humanity.
