Hey, may i know your thought towards this chapter? Like what do you think about hide's love for kaneki?
No big surprise that Hide loves Kaneki. Just like how Tsukiyama loves him too, and I’m sure Hinami and Banjou and many others do too. What I’m trying to say is, “love” comes in many forms. It doesn’t prove that Hide has romantic feelings for Kaneki. There needs to be more interaction and context to evaluate that. Personally, I haven’t seen anything so far that would urgently hint at such feelings from neither of them. And also, Kaneki and Touka are in love and married and that’s a canon fact and I can definitely do without some form of love triangle between Kaneki and Touka and Hide and I don’t think Ishida is looking for that either. The most prominent feature about Hide is his dedication to Kaneki imo and this is also something that is subject of discussion as I see many wonder about, where is the line drawn between romantic love and love between best friends? Because he sacrifices so much for Kaneki and cares so much for him and is willing to die for him and if you’re only friends you can’t go that far for the other? But tbh, I don’t think there is a line to this. I often see ppl assuming that romantic love is the strongest form of love which is totally wrong imo.
All forms of love, be it between lovers, friends or family are on equal footing!
I’m just super excited that the sunshine boy is back after 84 years of waiting (yes, I know he has shady stuffs on him too like pretty much all of the TG characters) and I can’t wait to learn more about him, who he really is, what he’s been through and what his plans are.
(i’m assuming you’re just particularly asking about that Hide/Kaneki part right? because there was much more to the chapter and I have lots of thoughts on it but I have to study now which is why I’m not online a lot recently btw so yeah see ya!)
(oh yeah, pls remember that you’re all here because you want to have fun and enjoy yourselves just like everyone else so pls respect each other and be nice. peace.)
