      Juuzou. I could make a 10 minute PowerPoint presentation about how he was very underestimated by like most everyone, and how if you think hes not as impressive as Arima, you're wrong. I haven't figured out how to use this for something constructive. but man it makes me mad when people downplay him.

      Juuzou should really get some love because people constantly downplay him and think he’s only there to be cool and have a replacement for Arima While “he is in no way as strong as Arima.” If not that Yomo and Uta really deserve a video after the anticlimactic fight at the end of TG:Re

      to say Yoshimura is a wasted potential is like saying arata is a wasted potential, these two were very important characters, and were major keys to in Tokyo Ghoul world, and heavily influenced CCG and Kaneki especially when he gone mad (further more they served him as a guide in OEK and Black Reaper personality).
      also they gave more reason to show how cruel and intimidating Arima is, and Eto were never a wasted character, hell she had a happy ending.
      what I would call a wasted character is Tatara and Shinohara, wasted for the plot probably, even Yomo that barely shows had a better character.

    I wanted to see Amon in a crisis like Kaneki or Takizawa when they became ghouls. Amon just came back in the story as a ghoul like nothing happened. His ideals as a ghoul are almost the same as they were as a human. I was disappointed.

  • @WindOfLight
    @WindOfLight 6 лет назад +23

    Ah! This vid was on point. Literally everything you said was what I was thinking. Really disappointed that Ishida didn't play more into his character since he was one of the very few characters that had a strong sense of justice to wanting to protect humans. He was just not relevant in :Re sadly, his ideals were one of his best qualities and were one of the strongest in the whole franchise. It was unique compared to all the other characters. And I also agree with the fact that his RC count was the highest from all the ghouls, even surpassing Takizawa whom was also known as one of the higher RC counted ghouls.
    - Though Takizawa had a bit more screen time than Amon, I feel as if his character's 'conclusion' was inconclusive as well. We never did get a proper reunion with Akira and Takizawa after the CCG Lab Raid.
    - Then we have Uta...whom was supposedly suppose hinted to be the original OEK.
    - And the whole Clown Organization was just blown over just like V.
    - Then we have the Yoshimura's (both Kuzen and Eto) whom were just put on the back burner with no explanation if they were dead or alive after their last appearances. Kuzen especially...since he played a huge role in Kaneki's life in the first series. He was sorta like a dad to Kaneki in a way, whom was guiding him through the ghoul world.
    A lot of missed potential on many characters that we will never get to see or get answers from.
    But anyway, great video dude! Keep it up.

    When I finished TG I honestly liked Amon as a character and all but when I read TG:RE it felt like he was just left in the shadows. It felt like he was brought for the sole purpose of killing Donato. Before I read TG:RE I thought that Amon would play a bigger role than that. He had a lot of wasted potential and felt like just another basic half-ghoul. His fighting style with the Dojima was interesting and rather unique. It showed at how well he mastered his Kagune. I thought that he would get turned into a half-ghoul and join GOAT to bring peace between ghouls and humans.
    These are just my thoughts and opinions.

  • @itachi2816

    Amon was probably my favorite character in the original Tokyo Ghoul. I remember how disappointed I was when I went to read Re and was eager to know what happened to him and what path his character would take, but in Re the author decided to treat him like a nobody and basically give up on his character for some reason. He must have had 2 or 3 cool moments in Re and then that was it, everything else he was pretty much non-existent or treated as irrelevant...
    And from what I remember he wasn't the only important character from the original manga who suffered this fate of being wasted in Re. I think these are one of the reasons why I don't like the Re phase.

Oh and the dragon arc also. The good TG RE writing ended on the arima death. Also Rue Island didn't end that well. Things there started to be strange like the new owls that we see once, the torso death that we didn't actually see and more importantly the tatara, takizawa and amon fight wich felt like a clusterfuck of nonsense. In my opinion Tatara should have winned and Akira needed to be saved by Amon. Takizawa should have fight with Tatara cuz Tatara didn't relly do shit to him. Tatara only captured him because he was a weak ass character from part one. Also Koma, Irimi, Tsukiyama and Nishio were on the island I think that Ishida missed the opportunity to SAVE YOSHIMURA KUZEN by having those characters to find him on the labs of kanou with kimi and bringing them back on the story but NOPE

I feel like after the arima death he didn't know what to do so he made practically a random character the new big villain by also ending Aogiri tree (Furuta...). I feel like that on Rue Island all the aogiri ghouls should have died besides Takizawa and Tatara. While the Quinx, Suzuya squad and Akira were the only surviving CCG members. Akira is with Houji fighting Tatara and Takizawa with maybe some other cool investigator like UI, they loose, only akira and Ui remain, Bat mon (Amon) saves them and they quickly leave. Then Takizawa realizes that no one of the Aogiri Tree is left besides Him and Tatara so he kills him because he is a motafucka. Quinx are trying to rescue mutsuki and the suzuya squad needs to return back because Kurona destroys their quinques. Then we see our OG character from Part One (Koma, Irimi, Nishio, Tsukiyama) go to the island to kanous labs and save Old man Yoshimura BUT they encounter Kurona wich is on Kanous lab and they need to kill all those motherfucking quinx owls while kanou escapes. Or maybe kurona kills kanou and the other characters take Yoshimura...then all the bullshits like Oggais and Clowns don't even exist.

    1. The High Man
    2. The Middle Man
    3. The Slave
    Kaneki like Guts is a middle man. I loved his character as such and could relate to him. But if his status would have been elevated to the High man. That would be obviously make him more admirable but also less relatable kinda what is happening with Griffith right now.

      It was incredibly disappointing what happened to Kuzen Yoshimura. He really deserved better. He tried to live a peaceful life and get's taken by Eto so Kanou could use him for experiments. I also didn't like how the Anteiku gang mentioned him like once.

    A story is interesting as long as people don't realize this very fact, i.e., as long as those characters feel like real people.

    @dresrosa Also I always thought the characters were dumb. If I was a mad ghoul who gives shit bout morality (like takizawa and such) and I had to fight a big battle I would have killed a random human and torn him apart then putted him in a backpack and when needed I would have picked something from the bag and eat when I was down in stamina or RC if I was wounded. Obviusly against the fastest enemies like Arima I would take a rest by escaping on a safe zones or just leave because they most likely wouldn't allow me to eat if I was getting shit on. Like... any ghoul thought a thing like that in the series. Ghouls are stronger then a normal human so the weight isn't a factor... no ghoul has ever brought food into battle wich for me is pretty dumb. Also we don't see much of normal police or army if not on the dragon arc were they fucking use tanks and helicopters. If I was a mad ghoul I would have robbed banks and shit because ghouls are immune to normal bullets and guns cuz of their skin...

    Kaneki should stay as Kuroi no Shinigami , the best kaneki as far as i’ve seen , he’s cold , responsible , and OP for some reason.

      If I may ask, why don't you like Amon and Mutsuki? I don't really like them either, but I was wondering what your reasons were.

      I don't get why people hate Mutuski, she is just a white hair Kaneki in re.
      but for Amon it's quiet reasonable since he likely disappeared, it would be amazing if he stood against clowns siege instead of CCG like a ba- uhm an owl man and get captured by V instead of Quinx but whatever.
