Abraxas

floppyamon:

Alright, so I was 50/50 on whether I should write this, but since I just saw spoiler pics I’m going to go ahead and write it out really fast; another possible kakuja that’s been in my mind for a little while


In the beginning of TG, Kaneki fought for Hide’s safety from Nishiki, and Kaneki ended up quoting a line from Hermann Hesse’s “Demian,”

However, the full quote isn’t actually stated. The actual quote goes:

“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.”

And Abraxas looks like this:

A chimera like being that transcends both God and the Devil, uniting all opposites into one being. He has a rooster or king’s head, serpents in lieu of feet, and a whip in his right hand with a shield in his left.

  • Kaneki’s original goal was to find a way fro ghouls and humans to coexist
  • “rooster or king’s head”: Kakuja beak and his possible ensnarement as the OEK
  • “serpents in lieu of feet”: he lost his legs last chapter, and instead of the reattaching it seems that they are growing back (most likely akin to his arm)
  • “whip in his right hand”: his harsh new claw for a hand
  • “with a shield in his left”: the only being associated with a shield in :re is Banjou, and he is currently running for where Kaneki and Arima are

There will be multiple kakujas in the series, and this one may be one of them
