Btw Roma is the one who created the Clowns.

Oh no I'm not ready for uncle Yomo's death! T.T We also got a flashback which is a jinx. He still hasn't told Touka and Ayato that he's their uncle :'(

Tokyo Ghoul:Re Chapter 135 Reaction

a flashback reveals that Roma is 51 years old, and she is the founder of the clowns.

when Aogiri broke into Cochlea, Roma didn’t want to join them, so Tatara tried to kill her, but she just escaped.

Roma beats up Urie, and reveals her Kakuja.

Iwao (with a freaking medieval sword) stands between Urie and Roma.

the Oggai goes berserk in the 24th ward, and Yomo tells Touka to go, because she has other things to protect. Yomo vs. Aura and Mutsuki incoming.

Touka runs into Hazuki. Touka vs. Hazuki incoming.

Afternotes: i thing Iwao and Yomo is gonna die, but their deaths will be extremely badass.

[xellzios]

anyone know what yomo is saying? it feels like a huge death flag. 😭

please be okay, Touka and Yomo and everyone. I hope the chapter will end in a good note.

This series will be the death of me.

two moods about the new chapter

1) OMG WTF NO PLS DONT KILL THEM OFF I WILL NEVER RECOVER

2) those innocent, small, childish looking women can totally kick your ass and will gladly do so when you won’t expect it and idk whether to not like them or to find them totally badass. (eto/ roma)

UMMMM AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT OF THIS??!!

[elmaxlys]

plz tell me all about ur love for donato for the character ask thing

God bless your kind soul

favorite thing about them

HIS SMILE. Good Lord his smile.

I love many things about him and I could go on for HOURS but his smile never fails to make me all hearts, flowers and rainbows inside. And the fact he just,,, says and does awful, sadistic things while smiling wildly,,,, my heart,,,,

The only times we see him and he’s not smiling was that one time when Amon fell in 135 and that makes it even more heartbreaking and also,,, god,,, when he remembers that Urie (Mikito) took Koutarou away from him (:re 108/109) - also most of his fight in 168 to 171 and sjdfhkfdlfk B O Y he only smiles when he sees Koutarou is going to fight seriously, with his wonderful cross, seconds before his clone is cut in pieces. And that’s BEAUTIFUL OKAY

AND the fact his mask isn’t smiling makes it all even better because when we need to see him smile we DO 

And!! the fact!!! he “““dies””” while laughing just cements one last time his smile as a core characteristic and anyway I love him I love his smile and I have FEELINGS about it but my brain is half fried and i cannot articulate everything i want so please take this instead

least favorite thing about them

The fact he wasn’t there during the Clowns reunion in chapter 128 :’o Missed opportunity to cement his relationship with the Clowns apart from Uta. It would have been extremely interesting and I hate that we were robbed of that.

favorite line

“A wonderful sight, isn’t it? I’m going to dismember this man of yours now. Slowly... boldly. You will watch the whole thing from up there. You will watch me cut him into tiny little pieces, unable to do a thing. Taste how it feels. How I feel. How cruel it is. Cruel to be one of those who can only but watch over others.” (:re chapter 107, tl by mangastream as i don’t own an english translation of that volume)

But of course “my beloved son” (og chapter 082) comes pretty close second ❤

brOTP

Him and the Clowns

(however, if brotp includes every type of platonic relationships then with Koutarou of course)

OTP

No.

nOTP

Literally every single ship involving him. He’s a catholic priest dammit, he swore celibacy, leave him alone

random headcanon

He is Italian and the Russian thing started out as a joke but everyone took it seriously so he rolled with it and is still, to this day, amazed at the amount of stupidity in the CCG. Koutarou knows but he hates talking about his dad so he doesn’t say anything and that’s how “Donato Porpora the Russian ghoul” came to be. He did, however live in Russia at some point in his very long life and that helps sell the lie but yeah, anyway he’s Italian.

Also he’s the OEK

unpopular opinion

He’s the most powerful ghoul in TG/TG:re and HE’S STILL ALIVE. THE ONLY THING THAT DIED ON THAT ROOF WAS A CLONE. COME ON.

song i associate with them

I have a whole playlist but if you ask me for only one song, then right now it’s Suprématie by ADX

favorite picture of them

I’m going for canon ones, here’s my favorite him panel 🥰🥰🥰

THANK YOU FOR ASKING ABOUT HIM!!!!!!

[kenkamishiro]

Caption on the chapter 135 colour illustration says, “The back side of auspice [good omen] is far in the distance” and the chapter 135 title is “The Night is Coming”.

[super-peace-fangirl]

This is why I love him 😂

TG:re chapter 135 - Rome fool us all even with the fucking age

[littlemissymonster]

Is rio a canon character? if he is, is the recent chapter his debut on the manga?

Yes? And no?

Yes, he’s a canon character but only so far as his history has been shown in the manga, none of his JAIL routes are canon, save the one route where he met Eto in the JAIL scenario book I guess?

Technically he’s been in TG:RE for a long while as Shikorae, but yes TG:RE Chapter 135 is the first time he was seen as “Rio” the version of himself before Shikorae.

[thatawokenbino]

Came earlier than excepted but, Chapter 135 of TG:re is out

Pun definitely, intended

[dragoneki]

just thinking about possible tg/tg:re parallels -chapter 130 focused a lot on touka's feelings, so maybe we'll get another touka-centric chapter -chapter 135 is when the one eyed owl appeared at the anteiku raid, so maybe we'll see eto or another monstrous kakuja -chapter 136 was when hide appeared to kaneki in the sewers... fingers crossed -chapter 142 was the unveiling of eto as the one eyed owl, so maybe we'll see an eto reappearance, or the unveiling of another character (scarecrow?)

[vitamiiiiins]

my thoughts after finishing chap 143 -

actually i am a lil disappointed w the ending

i get that it’s all supposed to be ‘realistic’ (which i would complain about since this grimstarkcynicalrealism stuff is way overdone nowadays, but actually in this genre i expect and understand it) but it did feel a LOT like it was all a lot leading up to a sort of. “Oh. Okay then.” moment at the end where Kaneki is (presumably) dead, with a lot of loose ends left hanging ?

like when i got to chap 135 and still thought of a  bunch of things i wanted  the answers to, i thought “something major must happen very quick to fit this all in” and then it just. didn’t. the fight tapered down and it ended ?

why didn’t the detector go off for kaneki at the ccg hq (I have a theory but like, no canon explanation), what happened to kuro & shiro, did hide get eaten (which if so i think is a very disappointing end for him and was throwing away a good potential side story/relationship seeing what could happen from then on)*, where is touka, what’s happening with ayato, what is happening with rize, so on and so on and so on

idk, i just feel like if it’s gonna end with that, it all seemed a bit... muted? dull? in a way? which may be more ‘realistic’ but at the same time when using that story telling method, you have to remember ppl don’t necessarily come and read fiction for realism, and a boring but realistic and expected ending isn’t actually a brilliant story nor the most entertaining for a reader

and I expected just.. a little more from the fight between arima and kaneki. i get he was weakened from amon, but by the end kaneki had become pretty powerful, and while I thought “it’s gonna seem a bit of a push if arima who could beat owl is beaten by kaneki” i expected more than that... near 1 hit ko. it’s like when ur pokemon one hit kos an e4 pokemon. yeah u knew you’d win anyways, but you thought there’d be a bit more to it n a bit more excitement than that

obviously there’s a sequel which im going to start soon but yah these are my thoughts finishing tg chap 143.

this seems so negative tho, overall I did enjoy it a lot !! its different to how I imagined but I still liked it, and found some characters i really like,, and the interest of the concept that made me wanna read in the first place remains!! it’s easier 2 talk about the negative stuff, right?? and when I’ve found something disppointing i like to think about why.

despite me being iffy about the ending I really did enjoy it and am hopeful and excited for tg:re so !! i just also hope that we will still see juuzou despite his injury i find him v endearing,, and i hope that hide/kaneki gets a better ending than the one widely speculated and implied,, and my other fav characters reappear still like uta !

*apparently its only speculation that kaneki ate hide which im choosing NOT to believe because,

When I read the scene, before seeing the comments underneath, I presumed the whole Hide thing was a hallucination - after all he was seein flowers too ? like when he first appeared it was omg hide !!! but then he was just acting. very chill and odd and it all felt p surreal to me so

from the start i expected/anticipated a lot from the kaneki/hide relationship and at first was very happy, then it just. vanished. i get kaneki had to stay away but it just seemed very... unflowing of the story that hide near disappears bar a few minor appearances, then would conveniently turn up for kaneki to eat him but it then.. actually is pointless anyway because kaneki seemingly died and little was achieved?

regardless, from what I gather from the comments on the final chapter, if not explicitly spoilered/stated but implied, it appears hide has yet to appear in the sequel.. and we’d presume if he had survived, why would he disappear into nothingness.. idk it seems like thats what was supposed to happen but even on top of that it seems a bit of a lame ending for him to me, i think he deserved better and kaneki deserved better because if in the end he ate hide like he almost did after that first fight with nishio... it feels like it’d be a big step back/reversion in character development. part of it seems like it could have been just to get hide out the way bc he would have made things more complicated in the next series.

I like to think I’m good with words but this is a mess,, anyways i like to have a nice ramble after finishing something so off i went

Rio was in the prison cell next to Roma’s at Cochlea. It seems that Kijima was torturing Rio every night, and by the time Eto found Rio during the Aogiri’s attack on Cochlea, he had already lost his mind, only muttering about his brother.

Tatara also asks Roma to join Aogiri in exchange for releasing her from her cell, but she refuses, saying that their “dogmas” don’t match, and she escapes.
