Good bye mr hitman;Tokyo Ghoul episode 8 impression
Episode 8 of Tokyo Ghouls
will finish the battle between Tohka and Mado and this episode filled
with gruesome battle between the characters though the censor ruined
our enjoyment especially at the most crucial part. In term of
character setting, Mado was the kind of character that you will not
like even from the moment of his first appearance. He was a
psychopathic old man with and maniacal laughter plus a warmonger and
bloodthirsty behavior. Unlike Amon he depicted another stereotyped
anime villain; sadist, unforgiving, and have a hideous appearance.
Unfortunately, we never see him having a humane characteristic such
as compassion, or showing mercy and the thing that made me sad was he
did not have any background story or other motivational reason that
made him hate Ghouls and hunted them crazily. It was sad to to see a
completely 2 dimensional character made just for being a villain and
no other role expect for taking karma for his previous misdeeds.
That's one hell of gigantic fist |
Mado used the scent of
Hinami's mother to attract her in order to capture rabbit (Tohka)
out. The episode also explained to us that the inspector could create
a weapon from the remaining organ of the ghoul especially the lamune
(ghoul extensional arms like organ). Mado used Mrs Ryoko's lamune as
his shield and her husband lamune as a chain like weapon. Meanwhile,
Kaneki spotted Amon who wanted to join Mado and he bravely stood in
front of him. In their fight, Amon angrily lamenting the death of his
friend. He was engulfed with anger and sadness because ghouls have
taken the life of the innocences.
If you lose your sight, the genre will be tragedy |
In other place, Tohka
fought Mado furiously but he managed to strangle Tohka because of his
new weapons. Tohka in her anger shouted that they only wanted to live
and having a ghoul body was something that she never wanted. She added
that it was her body and her instincts that made her wanted to eat
people fleshes. She felt bitter because kind ghouls like Hinami's
parents were killed although they never attack human. Meanwhile,
Kaneki have no other option than succumbing to his ghoulish nature
due to the fact that the inspector proved stronger than him. Still,
when he won over the inspector, he asked him to run because he did
not want to murder a fellow human being
yes I can see it clearly nods |
I think the battle for
this episode focus mainly on the emotion between Ghouls and Humans as
both want to survive and continue living. Each side only want to live
but due to ironic circumstances, the weaker person have to lost their
life. In this case, it was Hinami's parents and Amon's friend who
become the victim of the tragedy. Through the battle, we learn that
the only person who could sympathized with both race was Kaneki
because he was a human forced to have a half ghoul body. He knew that
each race deserve to live and his encounter that he had with Anteiku
gangs and Hinami's family made him realize that not all Ghoul threat
human as prey. In the other hand, there are normal and kind people
like Hyde and Amon's friend who unfortunately got caught in the
battle between Ghouls and Human.
You really know how to play with my feeling T-T |
When Tohka almost got
killed, Hinami anger unleashed her potent power and it was revealing that
she inherited both of her parents abilities. The crazy thing was how
easily Hinami defeat Mado even though an S class ghoul such as Jason
could not tear him apart. In the beginning, I thought Kaneki would
help Tohka and they could finally put him to rest. However, when he
tried to attack Hinami for the second time, her ghoulish wing like
Lamune fatally stroke the old man putting him at the death door. The
strong emotional impact that I felt from this episode was when Hinami
cried after hitting the old man. She did not want revenge at all and
the only thing that she wants was to be with her parents. I admitted
that when Hinami crying, I felt so sorry for her. I could feel the
real emotion from the voice and the picture, which made the episode
once again manage to captivate me.
