Yes, apparently haemophilia was even called “the royal disease” because many of Queen Victoria’s descendants (who married into other royal houses throughout Europe) suffered from this disease (source).
It would indeed be interesting if the Blue Sect has anything to do with that…
Eto is definitely reemerging at some point, but I don’t think this is a sun arc yet. I definitely would put more weight in a connection between Hide and Itori, if Itori had not just given up and walked off bored after Tsukiyama interrupted her.
Though, I’m doubtful this is the final swing of the pendulum when it comes to her character. As I’ve said before though I agree with you anon, that Eto is likely going to become relevant again when Yoshimura’s body also becomes relevant.
Especially since Kanou no longer has any claim over it, considering that he dead. Both Rize and Yoshimura should be relevant at some point unless V takes control of both of them.
I find V’s remarks about Kuzen to be suspicious though, as well as the fact that we’ve never seen what’s in that journal, or even Ukina’s true face. Unlike Hikari who eventually we got to see her full face when Yomo came to terms with her loss.
Considering that Yomo and Yoshimura are such similiar characters with similiar flaws, it makes sense that a similiar revelation of coming to terms with the loss with either Eto or Yoshimura would also prompt a full reveal of Ukina’s face.
There’s also about 700 parallels to Ukina and Kuzen, and the circumstance of Eto’s birth, and the 24th ward that are being paralleled right now between Touka and Kaneki, and both of them seem to be kind of wandering into that parallel blindly without learning the lesson that Yoshimura should have.
All of those are perfectly good reasons for Eto to return to the manga at some point. In fact she’s almost conspicuously absent by now, even though we’ve finally gotten into the old one eyed king and the 24th ward which are both Eto related, and ideas tied heavily to her character.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about in regards to a preview in Re Chapter 30. That’s mainly a Hinami chapter, and the only thing Haise does at the end is this.
As I said before it’s much more likely that the aesthetic references to berserk are just that. Not only that but, I find it much more likely that the mythological references are happening as a result of drawing from the same source rather than directly drawing from berserk.
Tokyo Ghoul makes a shit ton of biblical references. Most of them being inversions or subversive in a gnostic sense. Another reason I don’t really invite the berserk comparison is that berserk doesn’t really have themes… per se… it’s more like, cool ideas.
Both Tokyo Ghoul and Berserk are drawing creatively from end time templates. This is much clearer in berserk because Griffith is quite clearly painted as an anti christ like figure. A false prophet, persuasive and capable of performing miracles who misleads humanity.
There are both satantic allusions in Kaneki and Griffith, but in Griffith it’s quite clearly to paint him evil. Griffith is luciferian in the sense that he’s a sore loser who wants to upstage god’s throne because of his own inferiority towards others.
Kaneki is luciferian in a gnostic sense. That he’s somebody who has to become evil, to challenge an unjust ruling order that’s already put in place. They can draw from the same source of inspiration but for different results.
Berserk is a much more straightforward picture of people surviving through both Norse and Christian ideas of the end times. Tokyo Ghoul however, has always framed destruction as a preliminary and necessity for rebirth.
In the sequence you mentioned, I find it much more likely that Berserk and Tokyo Ghoul are both drawing from the same reference of the pregnant woman and the red dragon in revelations then I am that Ishida is making an intentional whole plot reference to berserk.
That’s a good question, but I can think of a very simple explanation for that.
Apparently, OC knows next to nothing about his grandmother aside from her name (ch85) and he probably doesn’t know much about his grandfather either. So I think he just didn’t know that Claudia was the Queen’s Watchdog before Vincent. I mean, the Watchdog duty is a very tough and dangerous job and also this is the Victorian era where women of noble families wouldn’t work, so it’s not really weird for OC to *assume* that his predecessors were all male!
I agree! That would be indeed very dramatic particularly since this whole flashback started with RC’s question to OC “Why did you lie to everyone and pretend to be me?”.
Anyways, I can see four possibilities for the timing of OC’s name reveal:
the scene where RC gets taken to the altar (this seems like a reasonable timing for RC to finally call his little brother by his name)
OC reading his own name on his own tomb in either one of these scenes at the end of the current flashback (I love your idea!!)
a shinigami reads OC’s real name aloud when OC dies in the very final chapter of Kuro
Hi Anon 🙂 Actually, I haven’t! It’s one of these super famous series I have to check out one day, even if I know a few things here and there. :))
I’m just a little confused about “where” I should start with it though, it seems like there are a lot of anime season/movies etc, it’s kinda giving me American comic vibes xD
I’m currently a lil’ cowboy deep in snow 😀 I love snow!
As for a random wisdom, um… How about don’t let home-made Christmas candies within your dog’s reach, even if the dog is clever enough to initially appear uninterested by them? Because from the moment you’ll leave her unattended, she will try to eat them all and become super sick.
In other words, don’t underestimate a dog’s gluttony, lmao. Is that random enough for you, Anon? :))
Haha, have a nice day 😀
I’m crying, how did they even know the baby would be a girl? There was no ultrasound or anything invented yet to know a baby’s gender before it was born! xDD
EDIT: no, they’re not talking about Sam’s granddaughter giving birth, since it says “he’d like you to name her, Earl”.
Btw guys, it’s not because I say I find Seiaki to have a slightly more fulfilling development in :Re so far that you can send me ship-biased asks about wanting Amon to die so that the ship can be canon.
Seriously, grow up.
Me liking a ship, canon or not, will never be about erasing “competition” for that ship, especially when I’m a huge supporter of Seiakiramon in the first place.
