with that post you just reblog, could that mean that shirazu's body might be taken at some point by eto (like it had been with seidou?) or has this been discussed before? or is it too early to say so?

(btw if anybody is confused, the whole Shirazu’s corpse being revived theory is because of this and this)

I honestly don’t think Eto would be the one to steal Shirazu’s corpse if Ishida does decide to have Shirazu remain in the story (alive).

Right now Shirazu’s body is being collected by the CCG in the after-raid clean up, so for the moment Shirazu’s body is in the CCG’s possession.

But something odd about the CCG is that it seems like they do not cremate their deceased investigators like the rest of Tokyo does:

Instead, they are buried, which is odd since Japan, especially Tokyo, prefers cremation as a whole due to the large population

And if Shirazu’s will follows the popular investigator ceremony, then his resting place may be under the discretion of a certain Aogiri executive:

Hakatori 墓盗り or the “Grave Robber”

If news of Shirazu’s death reaches the rooftop, Eto may hear as well. As a sort of violent backlash against Haise as well as a sickly poetic story twist (Eto would love it), she may just ask Hakatori for a small favor to go steal away Shirazu’s remains.

After all, we know Kanou wants to study the Quinx:

And when I first saw this panel, I thought it was going to be Kanou taking the kakuhou out of Gagi and Guge to transplant into new subjects:

but now I’m having different thoughts with Noro’s reveal: being nothing but a reanimated corpse (Noroi means ‘cursed’, cursed to live in such a inhumane way)

And if Hakatori were to steal Shirazu’s corpse and Kanou were to experiment with Eto possibly implanting her kagune into Shirazu, we could have Shirazu parallel Haiseneki: Frankenstein’s Monster.

The bolts on the side of Kaneki’s mask represent how he is a manufactured monster, but with Ishida’s love of horror tropes, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to explore this with Shirazu.

I myself am not entirely on board with my own theory (because having a final resting place would be nice), but it is an interesting idea to explore

Also Shirazu has lots of loose ties (which makes it a realistic death, but Ishida always ties up his loose ends eventually)

I don’t want it to be true, please Ishida be kind to Shirazu o)-(
