Tokyo Ghoul: re 68

Ever since the “Exterminate Tsukiyama” arc ended, chapters have been loaded with content I didn’t imagine 18 pages could contain, delivering more plot twists, shocking reveals, and new mysteries more and more each week. Among the who the hell knows how many “OH SHIT” moments from this week’s fuck fest, one reigns supreme, but I’d like to talk about something else, as there are undoubtedly much better writers and thinkers pontificating aloud about every possible consequence and meaning to this particular nuclear bomb that got dropped on our hearts.

I’d like to (as briefly as possible) talk about Furuta Nimura (yes, fucking again).



I’m terribly frightened Furuta is gonna die in Cochlea.



He has been reveling in Eto’s lockup since the second they closed her cell door and has gone out of his way to get her in bad a mood as possible, going from verbally taunting her to turning her editor into a fucking appetizer for her to eat.

And now that ghouls are being released left and right, it’s probably only a matter of time before Eto gets out and joins the chaos. And if Eto comes across Furuta during the insanity? Now, we don’t know exactly how powerful Furuta is, but doesn’t it just feel too perfect for Eto to just put him in his place once she gets out? He’s fucked with her too much, too deeply, to not get an absolutely humiliating death at her hands. I mean, did you see how nervous he got when he heard the alarms had been tripped? This is NOT according to keikaku.



Not only that, but they way that Sui positions his story telling vehicles, it feels like Furuta’s role is about done.

Furuta was a good character to tie up a lot of loose ends from the first manga while also giving us a view into V and how deep most of the organizations go. But since it’s more than likely that Aogiri will be destroyed with V taking their place as the primary antagonists, I feel killing Furuta will be a great way to transition to that point. His death would symbolize a severed link to a lot of groups that would allow them to reorganize and pick their sides for what will probably be the final arc and final showdown between characters.



I don’t know guys, I just think Furuta is gonna fucking get it soon.
