“How long did you take to realize you had feelings for him?” Uta’s ex is a lanky woman in a slinky dress, with exotic makeup and more glitter than the sun. Very much Yomo’s opposite.
“Uh…” Yomo mutters. His face turns red.
“Aw, you’re adorable,” she coos. “I’m really not mad, Renji. I’ve got my eye on others, don’t you worry.”
Yomo rolls his eyes. “I am not worried.”
“Then answer the question!”
Yomo yanks his coffee cup to his mouth and chugs. “Shortly after I came to Anteiku.”
She blinks. “That long, huh? Before I was dating Uta.”
“Yup.” He shrugs, as if it were nothing. “I never tried to interfere, I promise.”
“I know you didn’t Renji.” She pokes his nose.”You’re an honorable sort.”
She sighs. “Well, I suppose that’s why you did interfere. In a sense.”
“Huh?”
“I totally knew Uta was into you!” she blurts out. “It was obvious. I felt like I was holding you two back, a distraction so he could avoid his feelings for you.”
She snaps her fingers with a satisfied smirk. “And after all these years, here I am, finally winning our last argument.”
Yomo chuckles, partially with relief, partially with amazement. Uta loved him back then, too? How much time have they wasted by not allowing themselves to live?
Well, they won’t waste anymore.
“I’ll take officiating your vows as proper payment,” she adds, sending a thrill through Renji’s stomach.
Life is good to live.
Okay but to be FAIR Uta is an enigma, even for his bestie/husbando Yomo, so you’re not alone there.
It depends. I take any and all insights into their characters revealed by the manga, and sometimes I like researching any psychological roots of their idiosyncrasies. And sometimes I try to imagine what kind of background they’d have to turn out the way they are.
Other suggestions: What’s a situation that might startle the character? Make them question their life? Make them angry? Sad? Happy? What would it take for them to fall in love? What would scare them?
If you don’t know, make it up yourself. And roll with your ideas until it suits them.
You can be as creative as you want. 🙂
Hehe…I may or may not have written a fanfiction about a pregnant ghoul in cochlea.
Tbh, I think they’d probably follow the mother for science, before and after delivery. (Aside: how do ghouls nurse? Is ghoul milk okay? Is human milk okay, too? Speculation welcome).
If the mother has valuable information, they’d allow her to live for a bit. Maybe if they wanted to keep studying the kid, they’d allow her to stay with her child for a while.
But yes. Then, if V was still around, they’d probably kill both the mother and child.
Wow that’s dark. T-T
I mostly agree, Nonny-Mouse. ❤
Personally, I wouldn’t exactly say Yoshimura is a bad person. I mean, I think a key theme of TG is that everyone is morally grey. Killers can be kind, defenders of humanity can be sadistic, and even the main protagonist (Kanek) and villain (Furuta) have the same goal in the end.
For Yoshimura…he helped Touka, Ayato, Yomo, Irimi, Koma, Kaneki. In a way, he saved many of them from their violence. That’s beautiful.
And without knowing who exactly Noroi was, I’m hesitant to say he left her in a hellhole without caring, because it’s honestly possible Noroi was his safest option. But.
That being said, once the initial danger was passed, Yoshimura didn’t try to take Eto back. Maybe he still feared for her safety if V returned; maybe he feel guilty over Ukina, etc. But as time wore on, he still risked himself to save many other self-destructive ghouls, yet never his daughter.
His passivity is the cause of Eto’s abandonment issues, which she herself says.
Yoshimua’s best intentions, if they even were his best, weren’t even close to enough for his daughter. And that’s super tragic.
I think maybe this is why he flat-out tells the investigators “I am cognizant that I am evil.” But then, if he knew, why didn’t he do anything?
Gah.
So this is a long-winded explanation about why, personally, I wouldn’t classify him as bad. But I also wouldn’t classify him as good either; he’s definitely a twist, if not an inversion, on the ‘wise old man mentor.’
He’s a sinner with good intentions, just like almost all the characters. 😥
Hi I love Levihan. I honestly thought they were a couple the first time I saw them in the anime.
“Levi, look!” Hanji examines her forearm, which is severed at the elbow. “I seem to have small veins. Fascinating.”
“What the hell is wrong with you, Shitty Glasses?” He curses. “Put your arm back on.”
“I’d rather regrow it and examine this.” Hanji waves her arm back and forth.
“Don’t splatter your blood on me!” he snipes.
“Fine, fine.” Hanji waves her hand languidly. “How’d the mission end? I got, uh, my ass handed to me here.”
Levi refuses to acknowledge such a poor pun. “TSC seems to have captured most of the enemies.”
He doesn’t say how sick he felt when he saw the rampaging ghoul leave the room Hanji had been left in. How he cut his way through a dozen ghouls just to fly in here and see Hanji examining herself.
Hanji smiles slyly though, because she recognizes exactly how he felt. “Aw, did Levi care?”
He narrows his eyes as his sole kakugan emerges. “Don’t annoy me, Quinx.”
“Levi loves me,” Hanji sings as she struggles to her feet.
She smirks when Levi grabs her shoulder to steady her. “Told ya so.”
“Sure, sure,” he grumbles. “Let’s go meet up with the squad and get a medic looking at you.”
I hate that his nihilism won out in the end, for both of their lives. 😦
– Riddled with guilt over her miserable existence, Furuta asks Uta to seize Rize from Yomo for him. He then flees with Rize into the countryside and attempts to nurse her back to health.
– After years of captivity and starvation, she takes time to recover. He views his actions as penance.
– When she finally remembers that he started this by, you know, dropping steel beams on her, she is (rightly) furious. She thinks of this as the worst betrayal, and tells him that just because he didn’t rape her like his father would have, doesn’t mean he’s a good person.
– Furuta knows she’s right, but also tells her that his jealousy was not his primary motivation. V was after her, and he thought death might be better than having V catch her again.
– Rize is appalled at his idea of ‘mercy’ and the choice that wasn’t his to make. She accuses him of making excuses, which…he isn’t exactly, because he’s telling the truth, but she’s not wrong when she tells him she hates him.
– Furuta, ashamed and quite cognizant of the depth of his sins, asks what she wants him to do. She tells him to die, and leaves.
– Furuta stays away, because she clearly hates him, and he can’t say he doesn’t deserve it. But soon enough V catches onto her.
– He sacrifices his pride to ask Kaneki for help, and nearly dies trying to save her, due to his advanced aging.
– FYI, The revelation to CCG about the Washuus, instead of Dragon, is the situation that causes ghouls and humans to unite.
– Furuta thinks he was saved by Kaneki’s kagune during the battle, but he’s wrong. It was Rize’s. He doesn’t learn that for a long time, though.
– In the aftermath, as Furuta works to establish peace with TSC, Rize (who works with Kimi on food development) approaches him and asks if they can talk. They rekindle their friendship first.
– Eventually, Rize and Furuta acknowledge – with a push from Touka – that they might have a path forward.
– Rize, never one to wait, promptly asks Furuta to elope.
– At the end, Rize is pregnant with their first child at the same time Touka is pregnant with her second.
HSAIO AND HIGEMARU AND AURA MY LIFE IS MADE
Hsaio’s energy is so strong not even Pierrot can make her look bad.

I believe in Eto. Unless Ishida confirms otherwise, she’s alive to me.
-Touka and Kaneki totally come home from a date night to find that babysitter Banjou has been kicked out, and replaced with a laughing green-haired witch.
– Eto teases them that she’s read her stories to Ichika, and Touka promptly tells her to drop dead.
– It turns out that this is partially true. Eto has concocted new, child-appropriate stories for Ichika.
– Ichika loves Grandma Eto, who is “just like me.”
– “I wanna be just like Grandma Eto!” she declares, to the dismay of both her parents. At the same time, somewhere else in Tokyo, Arima rolls over in his grave.
– Eto definitely helps Ichika hide a lifetime supply of candy in her room.
– Touka shrieks.She fights the urge to immediately phone CCG and ask if they can gouge her eyes out.
– After she’s fled the premises, she calms down. After all, she is a very sex-positive person. It’s fine. She just didn’t want to SEE it herself.
– Yes, that.
– Exactly.
– Mmm-hmmm.
– Her cafe is cleaned thoroughly as she distracts herself.
– Nishiki, Hinami, and Kaneki all notice something wrong, but say nothing.
– Unfortunately, before they can ask, Uta strolls into the cafe and asks if she’s okay after “catching me and your uncle in a compromising position.”
– Kaneki spills his coffee, Hinami hugs Touka, Nishiki laughs, and Ayato is totally stunned, because he’s the only one who never saw this coming.
– Yomo rushes into the cafe just then, red-faced and sputtering apologies while simultaneously threatening to murder Uta.
