History Trivia / TokyoGhoul

* ActorAllusion:
** This is not the first time Creator/DaisukeNamikawa voiced a [[VideoGame/Persona4 character who acts as The Ace of the group, who works on investigation cases, who has gray-silver hair and wears eyeglasses, and is proficient with swords.]] Arima even wields a weapon which shares its name with the said character's surname and it is [[ShockAndAwe lightning-based]] to boot! similar to the element of Yu Narukami's initial Persona, Izanagi.

** In :re Papayama for Mirumo Tsukiyama.

** Haise Sasaki is Ken Kaneki with amnesia.
*** This one was exhaustingly debated by the fandom; while the majority believed it was pretty much a given, adequately to this trope, there was a strong opposing VocalMinority claiming that everyone else was just [[HesJustHiding in denial]] about Kaneki’s death.

** [[spoiler:Irimi and Koma revealed to be alive in ''Re'']] was a theory of a lot of people since their disappearance at the end of the original series was pretty ambiguous.
