What could’ve been..

Touka’s look in this panel

Touka’s look of despair in this panel makes me come up with several possibilities.

The first one is that Dragon had killed everyone surrounding her but Touka, leaving her in despair because she thought she was about to be swallowed up by this monster just like others too. Given that at this moment she just met Dragon for the first time and could not immediately recognize this is Kaneki, but just another threat for all ghouls, she could be thinking this was her last moment before she died.

The second one, though unlikely, is that she knew this was Kaneki, and was forced to watch him slaughter people in a rage without being able to stop him. I consider this unlikely because Kaneki’s Dragon form right now can hardly make anyone even know it was him except Furuta, but still a possibility nevertheless. If that is the case, this might hit Touka hard because she knew her father had also gone crazy from trying to gain power for revenge, resulting in him being captured and losing his mind just like Kaneki is right now.

The third one is sort of similar to the first one, but instead Kaneki had only killed the CCG squad facing Touka and the remaining ghouls in chapter 143, and the other ghouls were actually in front of Touka instead of behind her back, while she turned her back to temporarily shield them from Dragon, again because she had yet to recognize him. I doubt Kaneki would hurt Touka, the only one he had been looking for while going through this rampage, since his position right now looks more like he is surrounding her to protect her from danger, but the other people’s safety is not guaranteed at all.

Extra note, Kaneki’s human form might actually make an appearance in this chapter too, in the round bubble beside Touka.

This panel looks like an egg to me, and since Kaneki’s story also follows the “Black Goat’s Egg”, in the next chapter we might actually see him emerging from this “egg” he was in to go to Touka. As for how his attitude would be towards everything he had done, I have no concrete assumption to make at all. People speculate him to be absolutely wrecked, devastated by what he had done, but that is Kaneki from part 1 when he accidentally stabbed Banjou and tormented himself over it. But chapter 144 showcased a very clear change in his personality and outlook towards life, when his thoughts were all about eradicating everything in his way including himself and Ishida’s illustration of him wearing the eyepatch on his human eye might represent a disconnection from his humanity.

Nothing is for certain until the next chapter is out or when Kaneki returns to his sense, but oh boy whatever the outcome is would not be pretty at all. And if he had not attacked Touka even when he went berserk and lost his control, then she might be one of the only few people who can talk some sense into him right now.

Why did Touka fall in love with Ken? and when?

Mod K:

While we did answer this question already, I’ll try to provide a more in depth response to this question now. I have already done an analysis of Ken’s feelings, so you can think of this as a companion piece.

When Touka first begins interacting with Kaneki, she dislikes him immensely. She had initially tried to help him, thinking he was a ghoul like she was. She offers him an arm of a human man who was sexually harassing her. Understandably, Ken runs away from her screaming after seeing something that awful.

This starts her initial dislike of him – as Touka has always had something of a complex about being a “monstrous” ghoul. She dislikes that she has to kill and eat to survive, but does so because she wants to live despite her conflicting feelings about it. From this point on, she is snarky with him and she both teases and bullies him. She is even more furious when he outright calls her a monster after she attempts to force freed him after his first encounter with Nishiki.

That is Kaneki.
