As promised: the winner from the Kenference Poll VS One-Shot!Kaneki

[elmaxlys]

Thanks everyone for voting! I'm glad all of them got some votes :D

And now, because I forgot to put him in this poll, let's see the winner (so Haise) face off against One-Shot!Kaneki !!

The Kenference is a nickname referring to chapter 144 of the :re manga. See the images below.

For funsies here's a quiz I made "which Kaneki are you" (doesn't include the kids or the bonus answers to this poll)

Kenderella refers to the og volume 11 bonus pages. See below the Kenference pages.

TG Sexyman Poll - Preliminary Battles

the Kenference Poll

[elmaxlys]

if y'all want to know how it would have been if I made the decision by myself..

Takizawa would have gotten only one entry

I would have put all of three against each other in Round 1 (tho my vote was for just Haise + possibly One Shot in odd number case, on accounts of the Kenference poll)

And I would have separated Rio and Shiko

"but why" les voies du seigneur sont impénétrables

But fr it's a matter of sense of identity. Haise feels different from Kaneki and he said it himself. Shikorae is as much Rio as 240 is Kuroneki. However, to me, Takizawa is still himself; his past is still defining him, his current self is the result of a choice - and despite what he says, he could have made another choice.

I'll go by the polls results (all get two separate entries), of course, but just in case anyone was wondering where I stood on the issue xD

And he's winning by a lot too?? none of the other reaches 20%, not even Shiro, and Haise is at 30?? Frankly I thought Shiro would get much more votes.. Not that I'm biased or anything *coughs*

Legit surprised that Haise won like??? That's not even Kaneki xD And also, like, he's the only one I consistently see hatred toward, specifically because of his difference with Kaneki.. Again and again, the loud majority rule but yeah! He deserves it! Best boyy

(I'll be honest, my vote was between Haise and Shironeki)

Alright so, addressing the Kaneki situation..

@just-another-tokyo-ghoul-fan said: #personally I think you should leave kaneki put all together

@shewhoeatssand said: #I think you should exclude Kaneki completely so he won’t dominate the poll because I think we all know he’s gonna win if he’s there #then do a poll about the best Kaneki including the most obscure versions like School Of Ghoul Kaneki #Santa Kaneki from the carvival game #and then we will find out who!s the best Kaneki

@lightlykos said: I think kaneki should just have in own pull exclusive to all the different personal he's gone through tbh

@captain-astors said: #All of the previous tags. Yeah Kaneki's going to win if you include him anyways there's no point to humoring otherwise #and if you include multiple versions we're just going to have Kaneki vs Kaneki as a final #so if he must be here #a singular contestant he should be.

First of all, thank you everyone for your comments on the situation, and now, to address everyone's concerns:

Kaneki should be excluded: excluding Kaneki would be extremely unfair and he has sexy moments so he deserves to be here, no matter (and rather because of) how loved he is in the fandom and outside of it

excluding Kaneki would mean I also need to exclude characters like Juuzou and Uta, and possibly Ayato, as they are the "fandom representative" men outside of the fandom. I'm not excluding Uta. Or Ayato.

excluding Kaneki would just justify me in disqualifying Eto and Touka from the Sexywoman Poll. Everyone knew they'd sweep and sweep they did. That's no reason, imo.

Kaneki should have his own poll: please refer to the Kenference Polls - First One - Second One (which is winner of First One VS One-Shot Kaneki).

while I did include Kaneko and Kenderella, it's true I didn't include SoG Kaneki and even forgot One-Shot Kaneki at first, as it was mostly about Kaneki's alters. If I do make a poll for more obscure Kaneki versions, so excluding his main alters, I wouldn't be able to include game ones as I have no access to these.

What I could do:

put only Haise, as he was the winner of the Kenference Poll, therefore gaining legitimacy as Kaneki representative

arrange it so that Kaneki goes against Juuzou or Uta, to give everyone else a fair chance (but also we know whoever emerges winner of that automatically sweeps the rest of the competition)

i'll think about it more, feel free to tell me if you have ideas, but I'm not excluding him

btw, I'm starting to prepare for the sexyman poll because well. there are even more men than there are women in TG so any advance is good to take, and thus I have a few questions for you. I'll probably do polls with them soon but here are the subjects so you can think about it in the meantime:

Should Haise and Kaneki be set as different characters?

Should og Takizawa and :re Takizawa be set as different characters?

Should Rio and Shikorae be set as different characters?

I'll need to know before I start doing the bracket, since, in case of "yes" answers, the contestants number would change

[elmaxlys]

Yes you can vote if you don't know them all! I also included the Kenference panels for that too, because it's quite the good summary of their personalities ^^

As for the pre-ghoulification and post-ghoulification black-haired Kaneki, I thought about it but ultimately his personality didn't change all that much, as is reflected in his appearance in ch144, where there's only one early TG black haired him. That said, that'd be an interesting poll to make later on!
