Is All Of Tokyo Goul Englsh
Okay, hear me out. I have a theory. A wild one, maybe. But one I'm sticking to.
Is Tokyo Ghoul secretly... English?
Evidence Point Number One: The Names
Think about it. Ken Kaneki. Sounds pretty darn Western, right? Like, he could be your average college student. Just, you know, with the whole ghoul thing.
And what about Touka Kirishima? Okay, Kirishima sounds Japanese. But Touka? I can imagine a cool, alternative girl named Touka rocking a vintage band tee.
It's All About Interpretation, Baby!
Sure, there are *definitely* some Japanese names. But maybe, just maybe, those are the characters who are *really* trying to fit in. Deep, I know.
Consider this: the author, Sui Ishida, is a genius. He's subtly telling us that the lines between cultures are blurred!
Food, Glorious Food (and Coffee!)
The characters in Tokyo Ghoul are often seen eating. What are they always eating?
Okay, fine, they're eating... well, you know. But when they *aren't* forced to eat human flesh, they're sipping coffee. And who loves coffee? The English! I rest my case.
The Dark and Brooding Atmosphere
Let's be honest. Tokyo Ghoul isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. It's dark, moody, and full of existential angst.
Doesn't that sound a little...English? Think rainy days, gothic literature, and deep conversations in pubs.
It's practically an English gothic novel in anime form!
The Secret Message?
Maybe Sui Ishida is trying to tell us something profound. Maybe he's saying that the human experience is universal. That ghouls and humans aren't so different after all.
Or maybe he just really liked English names. Who knows?
But I'm sticking with my theory: Tokyo Ghoul is secretly, deep down, a story about English people. Or at least, people with English sensibilities.
The Fashion Sense
Ever notice the character designs? Black coats, edgy hairstyles, a general air of "I'm too cool for this"?
That's straight out of the London underground scene. I can practically hear The Cure playing in the background.
It's not just Japanese school uniforms and kimonos, people! There's a distinct Western influence.
My (Probably Wrong) Conclusion
Look, I know it's a stretch. I'm probably completely wrong. But it's fun to think about, right?
Next time you're watching Tokyo Ghoul, just remember this: you might be seeing a reflection of English culture. In a very, very twisted mirror.
Don't judge. Just enjoy the show... and maybe grab a cup of coffee. For England!
