uh oh
There are so many similarities between the two of them. The joker cards. Not being welcome at the CCG, especially at first. The hair color changes. The Hanged Man tarot cards at the end of TG. We are regularly reminded that they have remarkably feminine traits. Kaneki is the Fool in the Fool’s Journey that carries through the whole manga but Suzuya may also be associated with that card (Rei = zero). Both of them have been compared to Arima based on their level of skill. They have both had abusive parental figures who they still loved. They have both fought parental figures but never killed them themselves. The found father figures with no biological relation.
And now that Kaneki has inherited Arima’s “hopes” and the OEK title, Juuzou appears with an Arata, similar to what Shinohara had.
