Koutarou A-Moon

linkspooky:

do you think amon could be associated with the moon? since Ishida always draws him as floppy during the night, and has had a moon behind him multiple times, like in chapter 47 of tg there’s a chapter cover of him looking up into the night sky at something (moon?) and his birthday in the calendar page has a moon. plus he is the deuteragonist in tg so I feel like we should see more of him soon

Good observation with Chapter 47, because the quote that accompanies Amon’s entire arc in association with the moon card perfectly. 

“Amon’s quest to find himself’ which implies Amon as he is currently lacks a sense of self identity. Which also ties neatly into the mention of Amon as deuteragonist, because Amon’s chief job as a deuteragonist is to play foil to Kaneki. In fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character, in order to highlight particular qualities of the other character. In essence a character who does not exist for their own self determinant purposes but rather to reflect another character. That is not only Amon’s central character trait, it is his entire role in the story.

That is how he represents the moon card, as the moon can provide no light of its own, and can only reflect the sun’s light.
