I really hope these two are actually pals. Rio and Takizawa were both such precious children. Look what happened to them. I really hope they’re in this crazy, crazy boat together.
I’d like to think they are. When you think back to the original series, sharing meals was always how Takizawa would express friendship towards others.
Having dinner with Amon.
Trying to share crackers with Amon. (And being rejected.)
Having lunch with Hide.
And the one time we see his family, it’s while he’s eating his mother’s cooking. So while we never clicked on it before, Takizawa had a lot of associations with food in the original series and the warmth/kindness involved in sharing meals with others.
As a Ghoul, he seems to be something of a Binge Eater that enjoys chowing down on large numbers of people. But here he is, offering to share a meal with Shikorae just like the old days.
I already suspected this yesterday morning when only the spoilers from baidu are out. But I had homework so I wasn’t able to make a post like this. But it seems littlemissymonster has beaten me to it. orz
But, however I do want to point out that Shikorae does indeed have all 4 kagune types. Because he is Rio, and Rio in Tokyo Ghoul Jail, have 4 kagune types that you can chose from.
Rinkaku
When the Quinx were in Uta’s mask shop, Haise was holding what is likely to be Rio’s Rinkaku mask
This implies that Rio has a rinkaku kagune type, and since Shikorae is Rio, Shikorae has a rinkaku kagune.
At first I thought rinkaku was his only kagune type because of that, but chapter 63 shows more.
Bikaku
From chapter 63, Shikorae finally uses his kagune. He first showed his bikaku kagune, and it’s similar to Rio’s bikaku kagune
Ukaku
and then Shikorae uses his ukaku kagune which is also similar to Rio’s ukaku.
Koukaku
There is no evidence yet that Shikorae also has a koukaku, but since we now know that he has 3 kagune types, it’s highly likely that he has a koukaku kagune too, and he might use it later in the manga.
Whoa, a ghoul with all 4 kagune types. What does that make him? He doesn’t have a dual kagune. He has quadruple kagune (⊙0⊙)
