[DemonOfWrath]

Actually I don't think Takizawa had much to do with the decision for more Quinx, rather seeing that pretty much the whole group was, within a short period of time, capable of controlling their abilities and be capable of participating in fighting relatively strong ghouls (Nutcracker mainly). Note that only Mutsuki saw Urie go nuts.

Anything the CCG knows about Takizawa is 100% guesswork, besides his identity if they believe Akira.

a slap in the face to those who expected Hinami and said that RE was just a reboot.

badass cover , is the first with dark tone in RE, it was very beautiful even, and now that the parallelism broke, nothing can be predicted.

Why wouldn't they believe Akira, the higher ups already suspected something strange was going on with the missing investigator bodies after the Anteiku raid. Maybe Akira wouldn't tell, but that doesn't seem true to her professionalism. You are right that the Quinx were effective in the Auction raid, but the increase in the speed of implementation of the Quinx program makes me think they are worried about more opponents like Pineapple.

Ooooh! Pretty. Disturbing, but pretty. Thank you for sharing.

But you are out of luck, there are few things in life as fun as making predictions for a well written story that has lots of foreshadowing and symbolism.

[DemonOfWrath]

While I agree that they should, it's possible to have doubt on it because she only saw him for a second or two in not perfect lighting. So the CCG as a whole probably doesn't have enough info to make all the conclusions about Takizawa and his half-ghoul status. Actually, it would probably depend more on how much Haise reports about his interactions and whether or not he hides some of it because of the Kaneki connection.

I just don't think opponents like Takizawa are as likely a motivation as their existing achievements (they went from like none to some pretty significant ones), at least until we see one or more of the Quinx get to a level where they could be more than cannon fodder to that level of ghoul (obviously I'm saying Haise doesn't count in that).

Being capable of being in a team fighting a S rate ghoul is worlds different than being in a team fighting an SS rate ghoul, or being able to fight an S rate alone. Saiko and Shirazu did really well against Nutcracker as a team, meanwhile Urie (who should be the strongest Quinx atm) got utterly pooped on by Big Mom (who's probably, individually, Nutcracker or Nishiki level).

Nice seeing it in colour. But this picture already appeared in black and white in the previous chapter advertising Volume 3. I don't get why this reboot theory even gained traction (Aside from RE in the title).

Timeskip. Everybody got promoted. Hinami is rotting in jail. Tsukiyama returns with a kakuja (?).

Spoiler for Chap 32:

Yeah, seems like a 6ish month? timeskip. Mado wants to kill Hinami, but Haise says she's valuable for getting info about Aogiri. He understands her thoughts, as she can't do anything despite her dad's killer being so close.
But then, he thinks she has to live for Kaneki's case and gets a flashback about the time he and Touka inflitrated CCG and met Mado.

Kaneki says its impossible for them to stay like this, and sooner or later Haise has to accept him...

Finally. I was pretty annoyed about Haise's refusal to accept his memories.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

Spoiler for spoiler:

not is that Haise is refusing to accept the Kaneki memories , the point is that Haise has afraid of disappearing, just that.

Spoiler for Hinami:

Hinami’s in Cochlea and giving out information about Aogiri. Haise says she’s extremely important to the investigation, but Akira warns him that even if Hinami has extremely important information, he should swiftly realize what’s appropriate time period of holding her ownership rights (letting her live?).

Haise mentions how cranky Akira gets every time there’s this topic.

Haise: (The reason why her father died is right there, and yet she can’t do anything, until I let go (of the ownership rights). But she…)

Suddenly there’s a voice inside his head. “For Kaneki-kun’s sake…”

He suddenly remembers the time he and Touka went to CCG dressed up as high school students, remembers Mado. Seeing Touka’s memory, he goes “Who——-”

Then Kaneki talks about how Haise can’t hold out, in the end they will merge.

It's a damn shame that Haise looks more feminine than Mutsuki.

Who's his hair stylist anyway.... Akira?

[Natsuki Hyuga]

Now that Chinese scan is out (sure is fast today ), I guess it's easier to see what the hell is happening in the chapter.

Spoiler:

The only really healing this chapter had is when Akira hugged Haise. Awww. Rest is completely ominous feel from 360 degree lol.

Dat Shotaneki's words, so ominous Though I guess if you discount the "So now, please don't erase me (please disappear)" part, it's... Logical? Certainly not kind at all, but that is if I consider Shotaneki is some kind of Haise's personality disorder instead of his subconsciousness manifestation. Who knows how it would roll from here, guess I can only wait to see how this will move now!

What is interesting is that when Sasaneki had flashback to the time he and Touka infiltrate CCG (which Shotaneki shortly appeared to), there is this monologue from Sasaneki:

佐々木「（オークション以来　何かの映像がフラッシュバックすることが増えた　それは時に、”眼の奥を繰り抜かれる様な激痛”を伴った）

Roughly since I'm lazy:

Sasaki: (After the auction raid, there is an increase of some kind of images of flashbacks. Sometimes, it was accompanied with "extreme pain like my eyes was gouged out".)

Ow... Shotaneki has a point when he said ""Saving"? Even when you don't know anything." Though I guess I'll see what exactly 'disappearing' means in the context, I can only hope that this is just Ishida being Ishida throwing the bait again.

Spoiler for 32:

I can't see anything cold on what Kaneki said so far to Haise based on the spoilers given so far. He basically telling Haise that he can't keep rejecting the fact he is Kaneki and is going to have to come on terms with it sooner or later. Better get it done quick before it really become a tragedy. Plus he is straining himself mentally by choosing to resist the fact that he is becoming Kaneki again which is not doing him any good because in the end he going have to face it.

I'll never forget that scene.

and man, when I thought they would at least coexist peacefully for 1 or 2 arcs, we see that there is still an internal conflict, lol

[saw2097]

Spoiler for 32:

I suspected that something like this would happen, the whole Christmas chapter was simply a brief cool down just before everything in Kaneki's life falls apart, Hinami is in a prison cell and is in danger and Kaneki is rejecting himself.

This will not end well.

I just hope he saves Hinami in time, but when he does that will probably mark the end of his time in the CCG, as I am pretty sure releasing prisoners is a big offense and it won't take them long to figure out who was responsible.

At least he is starting to get his memories back.

[TurquoiseThyme]

Spoiler for Chapter 32:

I really thought that Haise would take more initiative on finding out more about Kaneki after the Christmas presents. Oh well.

Tsukiyama may go on a mad feeding spree now. Will the CCG be able to tell that it is the Gourment from his kagune secretions?

It would be nice if Akira would come to the realization that her father was killed by his own obsessions, not Hinami. Of course, one of the series's themes is the cycle of revenge, so I don't know if Akira will be able to let go of her resentments. It could be that because of Akira, Kaneki/Hasie will stage a prison break. Maybe break out Arata too, if he's still alive.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

chapter out

lol, now Kaneki is who does not want to divide the body, but it is a very repressed gay.

[Fairy Water]

To those who still haven't believe Haise and Kaneki r two dif persona, u should now.

Kaneki is annoying :/ I feel disappointed about him and this is exactly why I love Haise more.

That dude only got shit for almost 150 chapters and then was prisoned/sealed for another 2 years. He just wants his body back.

[ninjastarforcex]

go go haise! Kuck Faneki

[theshade1]

What?? How can people dislike Kaneki's thoughts... I mean its ok to sympathise with Haise, but look at it from Ken's pov. The things, people, he tried hard to preserve and protect are now under threat by none other than himself. Thing about it, Kaneki wouldn't even slightly entertain the idea of killing Hinami and would flat out tell Akira no, but with this other guy in his body, he can't even do anything. Also, most of his friends are ghouls- Nishiki, Banjou, Touka and now he's hunting them.

And the only reason he wants to take over is prolly out of frustration cuz Haise hasn't accepted him/his memory/thoughts yet.

The tragedy may have stopped for Haise, but it's just building up for Kaneki. I really sympathise with him.
