** And in Russia, because of cannibalism. It's worth noting that russian fandom of Tokyo Ghoul was infamous known for suicide romantization, that may leaded to ban.

* GodNeverSaidThat: Occasionally one can still come across little known facts about the manga like "Kaneki was going to be gay, with his mask representing it", "Juuzo Suzuya and Kaneki were originally long-lost brothers", "the torture Yamori inflicted on Kaneki was rape", "originally Kaneki was going to be tortured by Ayato" and similar ideas. As far as anyone can tell, all of these facts are both unsourced and complete nonsense, but still re-emerge from time to time in the fandom and even on this wiki.

** [[spoiler: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 [[spoiler:Kaneki's death]].

** Arima [[spoiler: being a hybrid of a ghoul and human parent, wasn't a total surprise, given how he effortlessly defeated even the most powerful of ghouls.]]

** Several characters look quite a bit like characters from Ishida's previous work, an amateur WebComic called "The Penisman". Kaneki resembles Hitoro, an orphaned boy who could use one eye to see the near-future, while Touka came from Cannibalman/Kuigami Ryo, a reformed villain with a crush on Penisman whose powerful family was wiped out. Rize looks a lot like the hero's wannabe sidekick and crush, a young woman named Sachika, and Amon slightly resembles Penisman's best friend, Passionman.

** The prototype one-shot for the series is ''very'' different from the published story. Kaneki is a full-blooded Ghoul that hunts problematic humans as a vigilante, and expresses canon Touka's desire to live as an ordinary human. In turn, Touka is the Binge Eater of the story and Shinohara is the ruthless Ghoul Investigator akin to the canon Mado Kureo.

* {{Jossed}}: [[spoiler: The theory of Kaneki having killed Hide by eating him in an attack of hunger was shot down when it was revealed that he was alive. He did get half of his face eaten and his vocal cords, but he did this willingly to help Kaneki]].
