OH MY GOD THAT TOKYO GHOUL RE CHAPTER MY HEART
IT MADE ME SO SAD THEN SO HAPPY, ISHIDA-SENSEI WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MEEEEE
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER THOUGH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The Black Goat’s Egg, Isaiah 24, and The Bird and The Egg
so guys i’m really excited because i’ve made a connection with the latest chapter of TG:RE
The first thing i wanna talk about is the quote from Herman Hesse: “ The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.”
The second one is from The Black Goat’s Egg (which is Eto quoting Franz Kafka): “he begins to realise that the same cruel impulses are budding within himself”
The third is from the Bible, which Ishida has been quoting a LOT as of late (which i think may have something to do with Amon because of his religiousness but that’s for another time): “[[Isaiah 24:19] American Standard Version] The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently.”
The fourth is Ishida’s quotes, at the end of Chapter 75 this week: “A world has been destroyed!” (the chapter also titled “K’s Egg”!!!!) and Chapter 71: “The thunderous cycle of despair has been broken!”
Isaiah 24 is talking about god destroying a world to create a new one. The Black Goat’s Egg is referring to Kaneki bearing the same fate as his mother, despite his unwillingness to do so Herman Hesse said that to first create a world one must destroy it.
if you connect these three references in TG, it may mean that Kaneki, as the Black Goat’s Egg, whom carries with him the evil impulses and horrible fate of his mother (his predecessors/the OEG/Eto/Arata) is akin to the bird in the Herman Hesse quote breaking out of the world the Black Goat’s Egg (a horrible twisted world) to create a new one.
TL;DR : Kaneki is the birdand has taken the role of the “God” in the black goat’s egg which is the world and is destroying the world to create a new one. Meaning the black goat’s egg is no more and he is no longer bound to the same cycled fate.
MAYBE I’M JUST TOO WILLINGLY BELIEVING THAT KANEKI IS ESCAPING THE TAG OF “TRAGEDY” THAT’S FOLLOWED HIM ALL THE WAY FROM THE FIRST QUOTE OF THE SERIES UP TILL NOW. maybe it’s a pipe dream. BUT ISHIDA IS GIVING US HOPE DAMMIT AND I’M GONNA TAKE IT
I've been writing this fanfic for a while now where the most important part was the fact that everybody remarked on how much Kaneki had changed, whilst hide was the only to tell him he hadn't changed at all, and I can't believe I was so close to canon
YO DID HIS HAIR TURN WHITE AGAIN?! He got the turtle neck so I’m assuming that this is outside of his hidelucionation??
After Tokyo Ghoul:re Chapter 75
What she says: It's wasn't that bad I mean nobody died.
What she means: The one who died was me. My heart is cold,Hide has just become more ambiguously dead. Kaneki is hallucinating Hide because he doesn't want to die. Arima won't stop can't stop, why is the owl quinque so strong. What is this arc what is coming next. My heart might not survive this series. BUT DID YOU SEE MY QUEEN ETO FUCKING WITH FURUTA AND SAVING EVERYBODY WASN'T it AMAZING THIS IS THE ONLY REASON FOR MY RESURRECTION.
“i feel about as warm and happy as a potato in a hotpot”
i choked when i first read it i’m gonna use this a lot now
was this chapter even real
