About Tokyo Ghoul
The story introduces a dark and grim Tokyo, which is infested with bloodthirsty Ghouls that are living alongside humans without revealing their true identity. The people of Tokyo are in constant fear of being devoured by these Ghouls who could attack them at any instant. What’s the most dangerous thing about these Ghouls is that it’s hard to tell them apart from normal humans.
Ken Kaneki is a timid and shy college student who comes across a Ghoul named Rize Kamishiro who had concealed herself as a human. As he’s walking home with Rize, she shows Kaneki her true colors and attacks him. However, Kaneki is saved by a waitress named Touka Kirishima.
Kaneki is now a half-human and half-ghoul as he was attacked by Rize. Now, he must live his new life and save himself from both humans as well as ghouls. Will he be able to survive and resist the urge to devour human flesh and blood?
Tokyo Ghoul Mixed Filler/Canon Episodes
Tokyo Ghoul has a very low rate of fillers. There are two seasons with 24 episodes. The second season contains a total of 12 episodes that are mixed canon/fillers.
Episode 13 (New Surge)
Episode 13 is basically the first episode of the second season of Tokyo Ghoul. It introduces us to a new character named Hideyoshi Nagachika. He goes to Anteiku and finds it closed. He then rides his bike to look for Kaneki. Kaneki is in the 11th ward of the torture building and after fighting with Yamori, he walks out of the building, wearing his mask.
Owl is able to recognize the ghoul investigator whom he came across 10 years ago and who took his arms. Shinohara and Iwao decide that they must kill Owl and start a fight with him. There are a lot of casualties and Owl manages to flee from the site.
Touka Kirishima and Ayato Kirishima come across each other where the latter humiliates Touka and tells her that she has a weak Kagune. There’s a fight between the two and it is interrupted by Kankei. Kaneki attacks Ayato but Ayato is saved by Noro who takes him away from Kaneki.
Kankei proceeds to take Touka away by carrying her and leaves with Nishiki. The building starts to crumble and the investigators try to leave the building before it crashes down. Kaneki comes across the dead bodies of the investigators who got caught in the crashing building. He notices Eto smiling at him. Kaneki leaves and goes to Touka who comments on his hair being too eye-catching.
She suggests to him that he should do something about his hair as it will gain a lot of unwanted attention. That’s when Kaneki tells Touka that he’s not going back to Anteiku and is joining Aogiri. He leaves and Touka tries to stop him but is too fatigued to go after him. She ends up collapsing.
Episode 14 (Dancing Flowers)
This episode opens with an investigation conference where all the Special Class Investigators are present. Kishou Arima is not present. The rest of the investigators think it’s very rude of him to not show up.
Anyway, the meeting starts and they discuss the Aogiri Tree. Their focus is on the ghoul with an eyepatch. They believe that he’s the one who has been leading the attacks. Shinohara and Kuriowa talk about Owl in private after the meeting. They had both been involved in a fight with Owl and wanted to keep it a secret from the rest of the investigators.
At Anteiku, the staff is preparing to open the cafe. They start talking about Touka and wonder what she would be doing. Kaya Irimi tells them that she’s preparing for her exams and wants to get into Kamii University.
At School, Touka overhears some students talking about evacuations because of the recent ghoul attacks. The students also mention how they want all the ghouls to die. That leaves Touka bitter and sad. She walks home with Yoriko when Yoriko asks her the reason behind her wanting to go to Kamii University. Yoriko believes that she’s just following her boyfriend to the university. Touka is left dismayed.
After joining Aogiri, Kaneki had been attacking the CCG Headquarters and killing many investigators. Ayato has teamed with Kaneki in order to do so.

This episode starts off with Kaneki and Ayato stopping a truck that is transporting the subordinate of Yamori, Naki. Both Kaneki and Ayato are attacked by the twins, Kurona Yasuhisa and Nashiro Yasuhisa. They reveal themselves to be one-eyed ghouls and leave the scene.
Naki is rescued by Kaneki from the truck that is about to burst. Naki is extremely angry and sad at Yamori’s death and fights Ayato. Apparently, there’s a rumour going on at the Aogiri Tree that Kaneki had devoured Yamori.
Hinami and Touka are in Touka’s apartment when news pops up on TV that a truck was attacked by some ghouls and they had witnessed a ghoul with an eyepatch leading the attack. Touka turns off the TV as she doesn’t want to listen to anything about Kaneki. The next day, everyone notices at Anteiku that Touka looks very depressed. Nishiki enters the cafe and starts talking about Hinami. Touka tries to attack him but fails. Nishiki offers Touka to give her a tour of Kamii University which she accepts.

Amon goes to Donato to interrogate him. Donato claims that he doesn’t know anything about Aogiri or Owl. Amon doesn’t get any answers out of Donato and leaves.
Aogiri attacks Cochlea and all the investigators engage in a fight with the ghouls. Aogiri manages to free a lot of prisoners. Kaneki and Ayato are leading the attack and they split up later to complete their individual missions. Eto is watching over all the ghouls as they slaughter every personnel present in Cochlea.
Akira and Amon are attacked by Naki, Gagi and Guge and are trying to survive until the backup arrives there to help them. Akira is attacked by Naki but is able to save herself from it, attacking Naki in return and weakening his Kagune. Naki still manages to fight and injures Akira’s leg. Amon saves her and takes her to a safe place despite her telling him to leave her behind.
The backup arrives and Juuzou Suzuya starts killing the ghouls. Kurona and Nashiro come across Juuzou and are not happy to see him. Juuzou asks them why they decided to throw away their humanity and become ghouls. The twins replied that the world was a twisted place and they hated it so much. The three of them prepare to fight.

He hits Yukinori really hard and Yukinori is overwhelmed.
Amon is carrying Akira to a safe place when he notices the twins and recognizes them. The girls recognize him as well and take their leave.

Even though Touka is staying away from all the ghoul drama, she still can’t ignore the rumors about Kaneki. Shinohara declared him very dangerous as he fought with Kaneki and was near death.
Juuzou Suzuya had been spending most of his time idly after the battle. He’s wandering around in a zoo when his memories are triggered by a parent and a child present in the zoo. He remembered how he used to work as a Scrapper under Big Madam. He was saved by the CCG who took him in. However, he was declared unfit to work because of his behaviour. But Shinohara disagrees with them and makes Juuzou his partner.

Takatsuki visits CCG and asks them to have an interview with someone from the staff. Juuzou Suzuya and Yukinori Shinohara talk to her. Takatsuki tells them that she wants to write a novel about ghouls in the future and wants some information about them. He asks them if artificial ghouls could be made by putting a ghoul’s body parts inside humans. Shinohara finds it weird and judges her for thinking that.

Tokyo Ghoul: re Story
The story takes us two years into the future after the raid of the CCG on Anteiku. Tokyo has changed. The impact of CCG on the community has increased. However, ghouls are still present and still attacking humans. But they’re careful this time. We get to see the Aogiri Tree getting extremely cautious of the CCG who are after them.
A new team by the name of Quinx Squad had been established that would assist the CCG even further. The members of the team are basically hybrid humans who have the abilities of ghouls as well. Haise Sasaki is the leader of the team who himself is half-human and half-ghoul. He’s trained by Kishou Arima who is a high class investigator. Haise is slowly haunted by his memories, the memories unknown to him. Will he become his old self again?
Tokyo Ghoul Major Characters
1. Ken Kaneki
Ken Kaneki is the main character of the series. He used to be a timid and quiet boy who spent most of his time reading books. He believed in getting hurt instead of hurting others and that belief got him bullied so many times.
After getting turned into a half-ghoul, Kaneki’s personality changed entirely. He also got tortured by a ghoul named Yamori and became ruthless afterwards. Kaneki let his ghoul side take over his human side. However, he still showed care and love to the people he was close to.
After gaining a new identity, Ken mellowed down a bit. He became a little gentle and less power-hungry. He stopped hurting people just for fun. He respected his colleagues and was very loyal to them. His personality went back to normal because he lost his memories. However, after getting his memories back, Kaneki became more cold and serious. But he also became more mature. By the end of the series, he realized that he’s not different from anyone because of the torture and tragedies he had to go through. Everyone is battling with their own issues.
2. Touka Kirishima
Touka Kirishima is a ghoul just like Kaneki and she worked as a waitress at Anteiku. She’s kind but her kindness disappears soon when she loses her father. She had to become tough in order to survive in the world of ghouls. Touka suffers from low self-esteem and abandonment issues. She does not think of herself as someone who is worthy of love.
Touka tends to let her rage take over her. Whenever she feels helpless, she goes haywire. She absolutely despises the CCG as they tore apart her family and left her alone in the cruel world of ghouls. However, she slowly started accepting the fact that she must live after losing her loved ones. She must keep on surviving because her loved ones can’t be by her side forever.
1. Ken Kaneki
Rize Kamishiro is the famous ghoul who tried to devour Ken Kaneki by tricking him with her charms. She could never satiate her hunger and was always in search of her next target. She oozes a lot of charm and people often fell for her and became her victims. She worked solo and didn’t need anyone’s help.
She was also quite selfish and never thought of anyone else besides herself. She becomes mindless whenever she’s near starvation and has to be kept in restraints so that she doesn’t go haywire.
4. Eto Yoshimura
Eto Yoshimura is the leader of the Aogiri Tree and has a sadistic nature. She loves inflicting pain upon others. She feels no sort of remorse after killing humans as well as ghouls mercilessly. As a human, she’s lazy and playful. As a ghoul, she’s twisted. She wants to create a world where ghouls are not killed and can live freely, doing whatever they want to and she’s ready to do anything to fulfill this goal.
5. Kishou Arima
Kishou Arima is one of the best ghoul investigators and is also known as the “CCG’s Reaper”. He’s very calm and composed. He doesn’t falter in front of even overpowered ghouls. He has a calculated way of exterminating ghouls and he carries out the process perfectly.
As a mentor, he’s quite strict and does not accept any kind of blunders. Even though he’s quite cold, he’s also quite friendly with the people he likes. He became friends with Ken Kaneki and Akira Mado. Kishou Arima also had a very stoic nature and stood firmly by his beliefs. He also respected the dead and reprimanded those who talked ill of the dead.
