Jason screwed hard; time to meet Freedy in hell XD; Tokyo Ghoul episode 12 impression (END)

Yes, this is the last episode of Tokyo Ghoul (at least for season 1). In the beginning, I was hoping this episode would be filled with actions but in reality, the last episode actually develop Kaneki's character further. I guessed for a character development episode, I have to say that this episode was a very decent episode. What happened to Kaneki Past, his struggle, his despair, as well as the strengths that he achieved at the end of the episode make up for the battles that I was hoping from the last episode.

Hi long time no see Miss Rize XP

The episode started with Jason continued cutting of Kaneki's feet and hand fingers and while the gory images was removed from us the viewer, the tense atmosphere in where Kaneki kept counting for every missing fingers was enough to make me clench in anxiousness. Inside Kaneki's mind, Rize awakened and greeted him. We all knew that Rize was die a long ago due to the accident but somehow, her consciousness still lived inside Kaneki's mind. Maybe it was because of Kaneki's merciful tendency, which made Rize still retained part of her mind. Well the last part of the episode would make it clear for us; the audience.

Hyde was not just a friend he was like a brother to him

Rize asked what kind of person Kaneki's mother was. In the next scene, the character development for Kaneki, who was kind of neglected got developed even further. Her mother was a very kind person who never rejected any request from the person that she knew. Since the death of her husband, she worked alone to feed Kaneki and herself. The very sad part was even though she had to work alone, her sister kept asking her for money and she did not even had enough courage to reject the request. She kept working and neglected taking rest which made her body gradually getting weaker. Her dead, which was due to over-working, created a big blow to Kaneki. For that time, Kaneki lived alone and the only person who saved Kaneki from acute loneliness was no other than Hyde; his best friend.

Ahh your face said you'll do it anyway

Reality hit hard as when Kaneki opened his eyes, Jason showed the two pair of Ghouls, who worked along with Banjo to keep their eye on him, in front of Kaneki. Jason intended to break Kaneki further by asking about who should he killed first. It was obvious that the man would be willing to be the sacrifice but since Kaneki opt for not choosing, Jason ended up killing them both.

Well, I might be stereotyping about an anime villain here but knowing Jason, no matter whose person that Kaneki choose, he might still kill the other person anyway.

the moral of the story.. you can't please everyone

Inside Kaneki's mind, once again Rize appeared. She taunted Kaneki about his indecisiveness and his tendency to blame himself. Then, she explained to him about why he should choose in order to let the other person live. Rize told him that he should throw away his ideal of letting himself hurt as long as the other did not hurt. She even showed an image of Jason killing his friends of Anteiku and lastly killed Hyde to cleared his mind that his kindness would only lead to more victims. Unable to stand from the terror, Kaneki finally accepted his ghoulish nature completely by devouring Rize of his mind. The next thing we see was Kaneki hair turned completely white and his personality turned sadistic.

No more goody mr shoes now

The new Kaneki broke out from the chain and attacked Jason. Desperately, Jason tried to fend of Kaneki's attack. Kaneki newborn power made him capable of strangling Jason and threw him to the wall. Jason rage turn on his Kagune but at the end of the rope, Kaneki killed him with his developed Kagune.

Last but not least, this episode was the end of the Tokyo Ghoul (for the time being until the second season air). In my opinion, we could expect that Kaneki will not become the same person as he was before. Due to his ghoulish blood, he might become more bloodthirsty or stop acting like a goody fellow like before. In addition, there were still unfinished battles in the shopping mall between Gcc, Aogiri Tree, and the Anteiku members.
