Ishida and Pokemon Go

1of4-basedanon:

Most people probably saw it already, but here’s some of the posts from yesterday translated. Bold text means it’s someone else and not Ishida talking. His answer is added to that with an /.

Looking forward to the Pokemons in Fukuoka. I’ll make an appereance as well.

Good evening. Pinsirs are all over the Nanakuma Train Station(‘∀’*) / Pinsir! This is interesting… Thank you! 

There’s a Bulbasaur in Osaka! / Too far away!

The Ōhori Park’s full of Pikachus, Sensei!! / What did you just say…

Here you go. [The image below was attached to this.] / Not erotic. [Alt: Not lewd enough.]

Got a Pikachu and a Chaizard at the Ōhori Park! / I see…!? 

Wow…! I’m having trouble at the gyms…

My sister found a Ivysaur. I feel so stupid. (By the way, I’m at level 11 now)

There was a Pikachu at the Ōhori Park. I’ll get back to work.

Looking at his progress in like 8 hours (and I’m pretty sure he didn’t walk around playing PG for that long), he either spend a good amount of cash on this or he’s plain insane. Also you may meet him someday if you lurk around the Ōhori Park.

Can we talk about how much of a genius Ishida is for a second?

The prefix re- indicates repetition or withdrawal. Continuations of re- in the context of Tokyo Ghoul could be reborn, reunion, or return. The latter is most likely the meaning Touka had in mind when she named her cafe since she was sure that Kaneki would return to Aneteiku. But Ishida also intended re to mean king, which it means in Italian. 

And then there’s the bicolored colon, one of them black and one of them red, just like Kaneki’s eyes. If we consider that Touka included it in her cafe’s name, it’s probably symbolic for Kaneki, as in “This is his place to return.” But with re meaning king, it can also be read as  One Eyed King. 

So the cafe :re has multiple meanings, similar to the original Anteiku which both meant Antique and peaceful ward, and also referred to the names of Yoshimura’s wife and child, Ukina and Eto

for “re” puns, now i really have to wonder if 0 squad is a pun meaning “king’s squad” (because 0 is “rei” in japanese, read p much exactly the same as “re” (the i is silent/elongating))

first arima’s knights, then kaneki’s
