Hamliet Rereads TG Night Five (:re 59-116)

Welcome, welcome. We’re almost done. Please enjoy some meta-y thoughts thrown in with me thirsting over Ui and Urie and Hsiao and also me shrieking over my ships and throwing in an occasional meme.

image

Good luck filling that void Matsuri.

image

This is literally the exact same scenario as Mutsuki with Yoriko to get to Kaneki. It’s narrative karma Kaneki found himself in that situation for what he did to Shiono, the cycle of tragedy repeating again. It’s gotta end.

The narrative also seems to make it clear that Shiono is like Eto’s adopted father, like Shachi is for Rize, and the narrative goes out of its way to point out what Eto did to Kuzen, and what Kuzen did to her… it’s all karmic and so tragic and gosh this cycle has got to end.

image

Ui is so done. It’s also such a contrast to his demeanor before losing Hairu.

image

Matsuri needling uppity Ui.

image

Arima: oh yeah totally possible.

It’s interesting to me that Urie visits Hinami because geez louise do the visual parallels between her and Mutsuki appear strong in this arc.

image
image

I’m not gonna talk very much about Torso aside from saying he makes me nauseated.

image

CAN SOMEONE LEARN THIS ANYONE ANYONE AT ALL? Touka, you’re doing amazing sweetie now everyone else step the fuck up.

image

DEAR GOD URIE please look at yourself and look at what you’re saying.

Oh. My. God? It’s the same chapter that Kaneki and Urie plan to save Mucchy, and Banjou and Ayato to save Hinami? How did I miss this the first time around.

image
image
image

THE PARALLELS I just want Mutsurie and Ayahina.

image

Owwwww. Fruit-chan. Baby.

image

…did everyone just forget about this recorder because i feel like it might have been useful

image

Ui can talk like this to me anytime he wants.

image

The feeeeels.

image

I love how pure Kaneki is in this moment.

image

Parallel panel to Urie looking badass above, both determined to rescue bae.

image

Yomo saving Ayato I cry and cry

image
image

I’m bawling at my desk at work.

image

Fave Touka panel from :re.

image

brb i’m drowning in tears

image

Honestly I’m betting the only person who’s ever said “I love you” to Mutsuki is Torso which is really horrible to think about. Urie, get on it.

Also, Mutsuki keeps thinking he’s completely helpless while Hinami keeps thinking she’s completely useless. No my children.

image
image

My favorite line in the series.

image

wreck him eto

image

The Queen is here.

image

He really hasn’t grown at all. Oh, Juuzou, my son.

image

So firstly, Mougan can go to hell, but also it’s interesting to me that both Ayato and Urie lose their cool after reuniting with bae and wind up seriously wounded.

image

:’‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘(

image

A thing of beauty.

image

DESTROY IT PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU KANEKI

image
image

I’m sorry I keep picturing Tatara saying the “then perish” meme

image

Preach.

image

So basically. Yeah. This scene totally parallels the Urie-Mucchy-Saiko situation right now. I wonder if Mucchy will try to attack again next chapter before an auction parallel. It wouldn’t shock me.

image

Oh my god Amon really. You’re both ghouls. But also, here’s the thing. What Amon is saying and doing isn’t necessarily good or bad. He’s deceived too, yes, they’re both deceived, but something doesn’t have to be 100% good or clear or true to save someone. We’re all broken people irl and in the manga, and that can still do its job for the time being.

image

THHHHHHHIIIIIIIIISSSSSS fuck the “redemption by death trope” I’m going to presume that isn’t the path Mucchy will tread either.

image

Ui you’re being horrible but also you’re very sexy.

image

:////

image

Hairu and Karren. :///

image

Ouch.

image

Urie looks so damn hot.

image

So that’s what you’re into, Ui.

image

Hsiao looks so hot.

image

This reminds me of the Touka praying panel in Kaneki’s imagination in 144.

image

Aaaaaand this reminds me of the Kaneki defeat panel in 143.

image

Ishida why

image

CAN SOMEONE REMIND THEM OF THIS WHY DIDNT YOU DO THIS EARLIER KEN-KUN

image

-_________- No why why why

image

Ui is absolutely going to be the one to figure out the Garden.

image

Beautiful.

image
image

Ui: “Who are you calling Mr bowl cut?”

image

He’s never going to be a grandpa he’s dead :’‘‘‘‘‘)

image

Wrong answer.

image

Saiko making Star Wars references. I love her. ALSO Saiko commenting on how sexy Hsiao looks. So I’m pretty sure she is canonically attracted to Hsiao.

image

Karren called Mutsuki a kitten during the auction.

image
image

Behold Takirona, my crack OTP.

image

Ayato I really wish you were around pre-24th ward raid.

image

GAH I love this panel. And how Amon wanted to save them but they are the ones saving him.

image

I love this ship.

Hello! To add to the zombie wish-list… Maybe Houji…? Wouldn’t it be fun if he came back with Tatara’s kagune? Heck, maybe add Tatara to the ressurection list. Despite loving Ishida’s writing and all, I have to admit that their story felt a bit lacking, with an anticlimatic result. This could be an interesting way to return to it. Have a nice day!

OH WOW that would be interesting for sure. It’s possible, though they don’t have any particular foreshadowing around a return and aren’t as important of characters as say Hairu, Shirazu, and Karren are. Tatara and Houji never really had full arcs of their own, though they definitely had the potential and complexity to have them, but the story kept them as interesting side characters. That being said, I think a lot of people agree that their end was anticlimactic, so it’d be interesting to see Ishida pick up with that again (especially if Eto is alive…). 

Thank you for the ask!
