Not to say that this new cast is bad or anything as, with one exception, I came to like all of them. These are the characters that take up most of the screen time in Re, while most of the original main cast are relegated to smaller roles in the beginning and this can take some time getting used to. Named the Quinx Squad, the group consists of characters that have gained ghoul powers through experimentation, like Kaneki, however, unlike Kaneki they are still mostly human. Tokyo Ghoul: Re picks up two years after the first manga, with an amnesiac Ken Kaneki, now under the name Sasaki Haise, who is working at the CCG as a ghoul investigator, while leading his own squad. Not in terms of tone, no, the story is still as horrifying and brutal as ever (except for the ending but we’ll get to that). After that, the manga also shows that he likes to drink a cold beverage first and then a hot one which reemphasizes the theme of obsession with contrast.Coming into Tokyo Ghoul: Re, Sui Ishida’s sequel manga to the brilliant Tokyo Ghoul, you have to understand that is quite different from the original manga. The fact that Tsukiyama wanted to play Squash also reveals details about Tsukiyama's character: He believes exercising is essential but more importantly it emphasizes Tsukiyama's obsession with contrast in things (food, emotions, activities) since he wants to do something upbeat like playing sports before going to a relaxing cafe. Playing a match of Squash (a sports game) with Kaneki which was in the manga but omitted from the 1st season of the anime. For example, in the Re anime, Tsukiyama makes reference to activities such as

Those small details will help you to understand the plot better but also play a big role in bringing the characters to life.Īlso if you want to watch the Tokyo Ghoul Re anime there are references and parts of the story that you wouldn't be able to understand well without reading the manga. I also suggest you start from the beginning, not only because they changed some things storywise but because a lot of the small details of the story were omitted in the anime.
