Wait, if Kortopi can sense things around his copies if he's touching the original, does that mean he could see things in this entire forest of decoy buildings if he taps the wall of the real building?

Doesn't the second season deviate heavily from the manga?

It loosely adapts plot points from the manga but goes a very different direction with the characters.

Doing this rewatch made me realize just how bad the Tokyo Ghoul Adaptation was. I feel like people give it a free pass because of how much they like the manga, but standing on it's own, the anime is just terrible. Pierrot tried to squeeze far too much content in too short of a season length.

I mean, that's a proper direction.

[up] never having read the manga, I thought the anime has been just fine. I don't feel like I'm missing info, and the scenes themselves have been strong.

Inverted Cross, eh?

Reminder that Chrollo's last name is Lucilfer.

Those at Toonzone have mostly hated Tokyo Ghoul, but I get the feeling they'd hate the manga too, so being a bad adaptation doesn't really matter.

What a neat fella, him and his doges. I don't hold much stock in his life expectancy though...

@Beary I don't know the exact specifics but the guy really hated Tsyukiyama cause he thought he was a deviant so got rid of his sympathetic moments in Season 2.

I think they'd have to go inside the buildings for him to sense them.

Huh. That's just strangely vengeful.

Aw nuts. Captured by the Troupe again.

...Yep. He dead. Again, Pakunoda's ability is too useful for her to stay alive.

Gotta hand it to Squala, at least he didn't rat out Kurapika.

Still can't feel anything for Nobunaga's wanting to avenge his shitty friend. These spiders are naught but a bunch of hypocrites and that's that.

I do wonder if much, much later in the series the more dangerous ones of the bunch get their just desserts and are axed off at some point.

[up] I believe the ones with Chrollo.

Spider logic is if no one gave a shit about them then why should they give a shit about everyone else.

Makes sense though it doesn't justify their actions.

I'm not sure why, but villains who try Avenging the Villain are always the lowest of the low to me. There's just something so contemptible about villainous hypocrisy.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Well when you get right down to it, it's really no different from a hero avenging another hero who fell in battle.

It can be. Especially when there's the matter of who made the first aggressive act and so on. Context matters. It's not just something that exists within a void of just avenging someone.

In the example of Nobunaga, he's furious that someone would kill Uvo, but feels nothing for the people who care about who they kill.
