I feel like Shirazu’s conflict was never resolved.
By that, I mean his own inner turmoil with nutcracker. If anything,
I wanted him to grow and somehow progress from that. For the longest time
following her death, I think Shirazu felt like a monster. And that was a
conflict that tore him apart from the inside—he hated himself. I feel like he
died hating himself, feeling worse than he did before he entered the CCG. He
tried his best to justify what he did but couldn’t, and because of that, he couldn’t
ever forgive himself. He couldn’t find happiness because of that, and I feel
that inner hatred followed him to his grave. He was never able to forgive
himselfI agree – so that’s part of the reason that I hope he’s alive. Because if he became a half-ghoul, then it could provide an interesting dilemma.
Since if he’s an alive half-ghoul, and part of Aogiri, then he could be faced with being on the other side of life. Instead of being a CCG officer looking in on ghoul life, he could become an Aogiri officer (?) on the ghoul side, looking in on the lives of ghouls.
I totally forgot that his body was taken by Aogiri so this is certainly a possibility. I hope this happens, but if it does, I hope he doesn’t lose himself like Seidou has,
Definitely! As someone that adores both Seidpu and Shirazu, it would be tragic to lose both…
