You can't stay alive without eating human; a sad fact of Tokyo Ghoul episode 3
The third episode of
Tokyo Ghoul was like a breather episode after two intense episodes.
If you expected plenty of action, you might get disappointed with the
episode. However, the episode will get the viewer to understand about
the ghouls, who assimilate in the human society as well as their
method to hide their presence in the real world. Too bad though the
word “anteiku” was still not properly explained in this episode.
I don't know whether it was the Ghouls' world or Ghouls'
organization. The word was still a bit vague to decipher right now
Iori Yagami will be happy to have a little imouto like you |
The first thing we watch
was a conversation between the doctor and his patient. When the
patient went out, out of the sudden someone threw him back to the
doctor office. A man dressed in white suite entered the room then
threatened the doctor while his wife and daughter cowering in fear in
the hidden spot behind the doctor. Later on, the episode revealed
that the daughter, Hinami, was a half born ghouls just like Kaneki,
which means that one of her parent was a ghoul.
A good Ghoul will say "Itadakimasu" before eating ;p he's not exception |
The following scene took
place in the coffee shop where Toka worked. Hyde was recovered from
his injury and after thanking Toka and explained about what happened,
he left the place. Toka gave a warning to Kaneki that should hide
discovered their secret as Ghoul, she would not hesitate to kill him
on spot. In the last episode, we could see him overhearing Kaneki
conversation with the old manager and it seems that he already
realized about Kaneki's condition. Well, the good thing was he knew
about Kaneki's dilemma and he was not afraid to him though he had to
act as if nothing truly happened after last episode incident

Another important event
that I want to tell you is that there was an organization called GCC
in Tokyo. The people worked there were specialized in exterminating
Ghouls and they more or less capable of dealing with them even if the
later had better physical power. There were two important GCC agents
introduced in this episode. One was a stout and fine looking
detective Amon Kotaro, whose jobs merely focused in investigating the
clue regarding the Binge eater (Rize); the other was Mado, a scary
old man who acted as the ghoul exterminator. Their combined power
were real nightmare for ghouls that even the old manager, Mr
Yoshimura asked Toka to accompany Kaneki getting his mask done as
quickly as possible.
She's smiling that's a fanservice XD |
The real fact was
although some ghouls, for example Hinami (the daughter), did not hunt
and attack human, they still need to eat human flesh. The only
solution for them to get raw human meat without attacking humans was
through collecting a suicide victims' body. It was truly surprised
when knowing that little Hinami ate human fleshes like eating a cake.
It was explained that she was a half blood ghoul so her existence
was at least similar to Kaneki; yet it was obvious that a ghoul could
only ate human flesh to live on so, both Toka and Mr Yoshimura more
or less also ate suicide victims' bodies to stay alive.
Kaneki needs to raise a parrot for a change ^-^ |
I know the episode gave
us so many jargons and unfamiliar words that could confuse us.
However, I still consider the episode as a decent episode as it gave
further detail of the ghoul society. Kaneki was more or less started
to accept his newfound condition and with the way the episode started
to explain some of the term used in this episode, sooner or later we
might know about the origin of the ghouls. I hope the next episode
bring more entertainment and excitement than this one.
Here are some jargons
appeared in this episode that I could explain to you from watching
Anteiku : the
words is still too vague but from the explanation. From mr
Yoshimura's explanation, Anteiku provided food for Ghoul who did not
hunt for people. In the other hand, Mr Uta, the mask artist said a
place called anteiku
Box carrier: Toka
refer the box to Mado's case of weapon. So it is likely she refer to
Mado
Doves: Doves was
the term used by ghoul to call the GCC inspectors such as Amon and
Mado
Ward 20:
the district where the event of the anime took place or the area of
Kaneki and his friend lives.
Mask : The ghoul
who lived in the human society need the mask to stay hidden from GCC
inspectors. The mask appearance was like a normal mask although how
the ghoul wore them was still unexplained as most ghouls in this
series did not seems to wear one
