Synopsis [ edit ]

Setting [ edit ]

Tokyo Ghoul is set up in a alternate realitizzle where ghouls, creatures dat be lookin like aiiight playas but can only survive by smokin human flesh, live amongst tha human population up in secrecy, hidin they legit nature up in order ta evade pursuit from tha authorities. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! Ghouls have powers includin enhanced strength n' regeneratizzle abilitizzles - a regular ghoul produces 4�"7 times mo' kinetic juice up in they musclez than a aiiight human; they also have nuff muthafuckin times tha RC cells, a cold-ass lil cell dat flows like blood n' can become solid instantly fo' realz. A ghoulz skin is resistant ta ordinary piercin weapons, n' it has at least one special predatory organ called a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest n' use as a weapon durin combat fo' realz. Another distinctizzle trait of ghouls is dat when they is buckwild or hungry, tha color of they sclera up in both eyes turns black n' they irises red. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This mutation is known as kakugan (赫眼, "red eye").

A half-ghoul can either be born naturally as a ghoul n' a humanz offspring, or artificially pimped by transplantin some ghoul organs tha fuck into a human. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. In both cases, a half-ghoul is probably much stronger than a pure-blood ghoul. In tha case of a half-ghoul, only one of tha eyes undergoes tha "red eye" transformation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Natural born half-ghouls is straight-up rare, n' bustin half-ghouls artificially initially has a low success rate.

There be also tha case of half-humans, hybridz of ghouls n' humans dat can feed like aiiight humans n' lack a Kagune while possessin enhanced abilities, like increased speed n' erection speed yo, but shortened gamespans. Naturally born half-ghouls can also smoke like aiiight humans or full ghouls.
