User blog:NewbenShire/Tokyo Ghoul Analysis - Amon is alive, Tatara being responsible for his ghoulification (opinion)

Koutarou Amon as a ghoul
So recently I read one of my favourite mangas of all time, and that is Tokyo Ghoul. Since 2014 I have read the manga and watched the anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul, both season 1 and 2 (currently awaiting for its upcoming third season). Frankly I would say that Tokyo Ghoul both explicates the history and the plot of the series, both in manga and in anime (since both adaptations have different story flows. But without further ado, let's proceed to what I'm talking about in this blog, and that is one of the most awaited revelations in the manga itself; the confirmation of Koutarou  Amon being alive... and more ghoul-ish (no homo tho).

Koutarou Amon is known to be one of the hyped characters favored by Tokyo Ghoul fans. In honesty, I thought of Amon as a no-use character back then. I was then rooting for Kureo Mado due to his personality, sights on the world and his alias (and truth) about being a "Quinque Specialist". When I arrived to read the chapter of Mado's death and Amon's failure to protect his mentor/partner, I felt 50-50 for Amon. One side of me felt sympathy and the other went all-hate to Mr. Ishida himself (sorry about that Mr. Ishida! No hard feelings tho) for cutting Mado in the manga that short. Thoroughly in Tokyo Ghoul Root A I developed deep respect to him as he was given a bit bigger character in the series' sequel. Just as I read of Amon being "rumored" to have died in his confrontation with the S-rated ghoul Tatara, I felt a bit despair for his character to be a waste. My hatred to Mr. Ishida-san himself returned, and that was when I stopped reading Tokyo Ghoul (for particular reasons, also). If you ask me, it was more of a hiatus from reading Tokyo Ghoul and more of spending time with other manga such as One Punch Man, Fairy Tail, and other more (no hentai to be honest. I swear!) But!!! that doesn't mean I have to stop reading Tokyo Ghoul forever, am I right?

Just then when i heard of Ishida-san releasing new chapters for Tokyo Ghoul:re, I decided to start reading and move on. Recently last week I finished reading with Tokyo Ghoul:re's updated chapters, and that made me trickle with sweat, saliva and Fanta (I drink them whenever I play online, but at the same time I also do other stuffs after playing such as watching Youtube videos and 9gagging and such). First of all, lately at chapter 66 I felt euphoria at the moment of revealing Koutarou Amon alive. It was a big sigh of relief that he has not ceased to exist. But what really made me amused is how I got to predict Amon as a ghoul. Upon that prediction being true, I laughed like I were an Asylum patient injected with the wrong syringe. That led me to a personal conclusion: Aogiri Tree has displayed interest in ghoul-ifying innocent humans.

If I may not be right,  Seido Takizawa also became an artificial one-eyed ghoul, just like Ken Kaneki and the Yasuhisa Sisters. However, Takizawa showed different personality in :re, showing a more "gruesome and merciless" personality (like have you seen Takizawa killing his former student in a class he lectured? that was gruesome as f*ck!). Could this be traited to Amon, too? Let it be that Amon just said one line in chapter 66 of :re, "Shall we begin?". This implied that he may have a new personality, either it could be gruesome, or it would be his same-old serious nature. Only one thing is sure about Amon's ghoul side: He is in the Aogiri side, and that would be furtherly determined in future chapters.

Tatara and Dr. Kanou are both responsible of both Amon and Takizawa's ghoul-ification


Though it was already obvious, I did some simple analysis. Tatara both fought Amon and Takizawa at the Anteiku Raid Operation. Both Takizawa and Amon were M.I.A after the raid. It is already obvious that he sent both Amon and Takizawa to Dr. Kanou to be ghoul-ified just as how Ken Kaneki and the Yasuhisa sisters were. Though it might be implied and I might suggest that Tatara might've had responsibility in the so-called "brainwashing" of both investigators.

Another thing I did was the analysis on how both Amon and Takizawa were processed in the ghoul-ification. Both Amon and Takizawa had one arm amputated from the Anteiku Raid. this could possibly imply that there is something in the ghoulification that involves with their arms, whether Dr. Kanou just medically sewn a biologically new arm to them.

Thank you for reading my crappy blog, and suggest more blogs related to Tokyo Ghoul discussions that I may undertake. See ya soon, guys!!!
