This was a pretty long overdue video for Tokyo Ghoul. In this video I'm covering Kaneki's torture by Jason and Aogiri and interpreting/ breaking down certain parts of it in the way I perceive them; hopefully you enjoy as this is entertainment first, analysis second.

I find it absolutely interesting that Jason and Kanaki reflect two different sides of childhood torture: Kaneki become extremely passive, to the point where he’s basically naive, while Jason turned to trauma reenactment, turning the harm he felt to others

[@runtergerutscht4401]

And then there's Juzo, who adapted to his childhood living conditions so much that to him, pain is nothing, basic human empathy is a foreign concept, and cruelty is completely acceptable. Until he gets fixed by a positive father figure.

[@arias4491]

It‘s so fascinating how a humans brain, personality differs so much even when two experienced similar situations. I‘ve always wondered why victims step into their abusers footsteps, since they should be the one emphasizing the most with people alike or generally people. Maybe it‘s because they don’t know any better. But what I questioned more was how people undergone of such trauma act either the one way (abusive) or the other (emphatic). I’ve come to the conclusion that it may have something to do with the genetic personality we’ve gotten from birth from our ancestors, like a muscle memory since birth.

[@k.g.7591]

I suppose that this comic expresses something which not everyone can come to grips with easily in their own lives and that’s dealing with moral compromise. A lot of young adult media isn’t willing to really accept moral compromise as a part of life, when I say that in many ways it’s an inevitability. No one stays morally pure their whole lives. Some times you’re doomed to choose between helping someone and helping yourself and no matter what you choose you will feel bad. Learning to cope with the very rational decision of choosing yourself or not helping when you can’t afford to physically, emotionally, or financially is something you will have to learn to do.

[@retardo-qo4uj]

Yeah, it make sense since adult get incentives from this. Children will be obedient and easily manipulated this way, since adult will be the one who determine the right things. Not all parent want to teach this, its similar to telling "santa is not real". Good role model is needed just like the video said. Sadly, many people have to find out themself.

[@pixelmaster9964]

This is what I dislike about series like MHA and naruto (shippuden) I feel like these series do a great job setting up a very nuanced conflict, yet it all comes down to a single, morally incorruptible, perfect optimist to come along and “solve” everything.

[@JohnathanFallSeasonGuy]

@@pixelmaster9964the difference between TG and MHA and Naruto is that MHA and Naruto are Shonen Manga and TG is a Seinen Manga, if you want an example of a Seinen Manga look no further then Berserk.

[@UN-Seki]

​@@pixelmaster9964true that conflicts in Naruto are solved unrealistically, but I wouldn't say Naruto is incorruptible. For one, every single time he succumbs to the Kyuubi's chakra, it means that his will weakened and he lost restraint. E.g. when he nearly becomes 9 tailed in the Pain fight, right after being unable to reply to Pain's moral conundrum. We also see Naruto getting depressed and being unable to deal with his feelings throughout Shippuden until he gets help from others (like when he almost gave up during the Asuma arc, when trying to learn the rasenshuriken). It's not like things come freely for him (well, not until the final arc with the Ashura and Indra BS). Actually, most villains die without turning to the good side, even if Naruto changes their mind to some extent. There are also plenty of relevant character losses throughout Shippuden, so it's not like there were false stakes. TL;DR: The difference between him and Kaneki is that Naruto was able to build an emotional support network in a timely manner, but Naruto's conflicts did result in concrete changes to the world/characters.

Idk, Juzou sucking the inner ear out of that one guy and spitting it on the ground was really wild

[@cutepotato001]

9:16 Minor correction : When the centipede is put inside Kaneki's ear, the pain can't directly come from the insect eating his brain since the brain has no pain receptors. It must be from the damage it causes around.

[@peaxce6675]

I remember running across this tik tok where this guy said guts torture during the eclipse was worse than Kanekis torture and I have to disagree not because it was more atrocious or anything it’s because guts was way stronger mentally Kaneki was a still a kid still trying to figure out his new life thrown into multiple days of constant torture and mental manipulation

Guts suffered a lot but it was spread out throught the years Kanbeki's suffering was just one long torture session, I can't imagine how having a centipede crawl to your brain would feel like. Both suffered but there's no reason to do suffering contests they both had tragedies happened to them

[@blackviper3889]

@@Gensolink From what I understand, the pain would only be from the centipede making its way to the brain, after that you wouldn't feel it eating away at it since you don't have pain receptors inside your brain. You would probably notice shit not working how its supposed to which is scary in its own way. Also, since the centipede went through his ear canal, you would lose your sense of balance and feel perpetual vertigo and that's honestly just as scary as the centipede eating your brain. There's a junji ito book where a woman digs out a "spiral" in her ear which perfectly encapsulates that horror.

Outside of the cool fights, the amazing art designs, Kaneki's journey of self discovering his worth and loving himself, the ghoul part and the human part, is just beautiful. And then his conclusion at the end of TG Re how "The world is just is" from his vicious claim "The world is warped" in TG is to this day one of my favorite.

I get it, the “everything is his fault” narrative for this part of the story makes sense and it is, in a way, logical, but it seems to disregard the fact that kaneki was pretty human mentally thought out all of these situations, and made human decisions that made sense at the time. These events may, in the end, be 100% his fault, but hindsight is 20/20 and the deck seems to have been stacked against him, he got played an unfair hand, he could have come out on top but he’d have to be a different person to have done that

[@user-hc6fd9ss2p]

True but I think the point maybe was that even tho Kaneki had drawn the short straw in life he needed to adapt to his predicaments, he couldn't afford to live the way normal humans would if he faces abuse and powerful enemies daily

[@flowerbloom5782]

I feel like kankei went the other extreme. Yes he contributed to some of it but he just fully blames himself for everything that has happened to him which isn’t accurate or healthy either. Sometimes we get bad luck even the ones who have agency. It’s like a tree could fall over and kankei will blame himself for “being in the wrong place at the wrong time”

[@TheSkullkid16]

Counting backwards from 1000 by 7s, if you do the math, you'll make it to 300 eventually, then make it to 20, 14, 6... The final number you get to before passing 0 into the negatives is as far away from 0 as you can be without being divisible by 7 for the first time. One could also do this by doing 6s or 9s without being divisible by 1000, but since the last digit of any number will always change when counting by 7s (7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70 and so on), it forces your mind to stay focused on the task of said math, unlike with 6s and 9s which both have very easy patterns (6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and so on, as well as 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 and so on). The other possible numbers, being 8s, 5s, 4s, 3s, 2s and 1s, either have very easy patterns of doing the math, are numbers that 1000 is divisible by, or both. Whoever did this scene definitely did their homework, and it shows.

[@grim3038]

That was so goddamn good, absolutely loved your video definitely will be subscribing

[@KHh-nx9os]

Tokyo ghoul is a top 3 anime on my list. I feel like the characters were so well written and the emotion you felt from the characters was so raw

[@Lumiere300]

LETS GO BRO DROPPED AN ANALYSIS ON ONE OF MY FAV MANGA/CHARACTERS

[@1hundred1]

YESSIRRR

[@fuegovioleta]

this analysis is BEYOND WONDERFUL

[@sprayartist8459]

I sincerely hope we get a new anime adaptation that truly does the manga justice. Hope a big studio picks it up so the animation is consistent.

[@Psycho-Thinker]

One of the best analysis I have ever seen also the Rezero ost is great

[@genbabe7965]

As a Tokyo ghoul fan I’m upset that the anime didn’t show what was in the manga that was important info that could’ve been shown a straight sad masterpiece none the less💯

[@AndyNocturne]

Great content, much love

[@Corvy952]

[@demonknight9878]

Started the video with Gwyn’s theme is a great way to start a great video 😊👍

[@nicholaszhang9324]

Hey there great video I loved every moment. Tokyo Ghoul went viral when the anime came out but it deserved much better. I might just reread the manga because of this wonderful analysis Peace out bro

[@beastjj9157]

Excellent video I’m really looking forward for ur take on Black reaper kaneki

[@emilaw2082]

Ir's incredible wath i have missing all this year, I inly watch the anime at the time and now i know what have i missed all this time

[@hollow8730]

This video was amazing 🤩

[@manuelgranados3126]

I'll love to see this kind of analysis for Naki, his way to see the world is so sad :((, what an underrated character

[@Jwashere4]

I teared up when Kaneki started crying for his mother.

[@nosleep_bk]

bro your videos are fire damn, good shit

[@ramamaginge2965]

I’m glad to have this explained to me. One more time. Because I had read it once before but it seems I had forgotten how great it truly was. Maybe I’ll finish reading it too.

[@ashwinashokan2704]

13 years old. Maan this mustive been a life defining moment for you. Good for you bud. You''ll understand depths in life like no one else.

[@majormau5732]

Tokyo Ghoul was actually my first manga that I from beginning to end as well and I'm pretty sure I was like 13/14 too. Still love it just as much today.

[@foodoftherinnegan1583]

the fact that the manga was so different but is still so good

[@prince_twon9273]

Definitely need a part 2

[@bossmanzobean9034]

Hearing the video begin with plin plin plon shook me to my core in a way I never could’ve anticipated.

[@uhye8585]

Man... as someone whos never read the manga of tokyo ghoul the subtle differences in story is surprising and those nitpicky stuff is what makes the manga better.

[@rellwalk8613]

Thanks for this bro

[@bandarsalh1338]

Kaneki's torture gives Subaru's death to the rabbits a run for it's money

[@justalonelyman994]

Great video man

[@profanikey]

i love tokyo ghoul so much, it makes me so happy that it’s still relevant. one of the side characters in :re, tooru mutsuki (my pfp!) he was honestly just a big kin for me throughout the time a was reading the manga. i wish that more people would understand the depth of his character, past the “oh he’s just going crazy over their mentor” “he’s just crazy bc of the trauma” and tooru unfortunately falls into the yandere stereotype, where that really isn’t the case. i love them dearly tho. and his journey throughout his gender expression with trauma in :re makes me so sad, as i dealt with similar things (dissociation and how i dealt with traumatic things regarding my gender.) all in all, Tooru is probably my favorite character in all of manga. i may not be that active in the otaku community now, but Tooru will always live in my heart. i’m glad that TG is still traumatizing people with centipedes to this day!

U have earned a subscriber❤ Was a really nice video.

[@chillkagg300]

this video is so good bro, ur him. u found urself a new subscriber

[@1Kayo-]

Amazing video

[@Und3rWh3lm3d_]

One day when we're old and crusty maybe there will be a proper adaptation that captures the horrors and layers of character development Sui Ishida wrote into this manga.

[@ywntmha]

The Nier music in the background was the perfect touch.

[@agussslovesfaso13]

Kaneki really made me grow and change as a person and that's crazy he is to me like the father i never had so i learn from him fr

[@LFFTRE]

Awesome video dawg definitely subbing

[@formidableplays4750]

I noticed the general trend that the manga is often much deeper with its story and message than the anime adaptations. I just got into reading manga a few months ago, and I'm loving it for this reason.

[@biggestmamtheguythedude]

You just convinced me too read Tokyo ghoul man, great video

[@Decaying_bacon]

I already read the first part but after watching this I'm finishing Tokyo ghoul:Re
