That moment when you walk into a coffee shop looking for sensei and this other bitch got the nerve to fight you.

Tokyo Ghoul:Re Chapter 123 Reaction

Yoriko is dress shopping, when someone calls out to her.

Mutsuki asks Kaneki to come back.

Kaneki tells Mutsuki he can’t, just as Mutsuki sees Touka.

Urie enters Mutsuki’s room to deliver a package, and sees a bunch of photo’s with knives piercing the Touka on the photos.

Mutsuki attacks Kaneki with RC Suppressant knives, so he can’t activate his kagune.

Mutsuki throws Kaneki out of :re, where Aura slams Kaneki in the ground.

Touka vs. Mutsuki.

Mutsuki tells Touka that Yoriko is getting married, while showing her the photo, and a severed hand with an engagement ring on it.

[breakfast-at-anteiku]

TG Fandom: Hands off Yoriko!

Mutsuki: Okay

Tokyo Ghoul: Chapter 123

What the fuck Mutsuki?! Serioiusly, I understand you’re mentally unstable but shit! This entire chapter had me screaming; especially due to the fact Mutsuki Tooru threw the first punch...MUTSUKI TOORU THREW THE FIRST PUNCH AND BROUGHT AURA TO HELP HER?!?!?!?!? My poor babies have to fight these crazy bastards.

Seriously, I dunno who to root for but obviously Touka and Kaneki have my vote because fuck that. Show them why you are the king Kaneki! Stop going easy and just end Mutsuki and Aura, seriously we don’t have time for this!!!!! Ugh, I hope they can take Aura and Mutsuki down, which I’m sure Touka and Kaneki can considering they’re veteran fighters––but still so much to worry about!!!

Kaneki, though he’s holding back, needs to realize that Mutsuki isn’t right in the head and need’s to be taken care of. Whether it be through simple talking or action, he needs to maim these two or something.

And then there’s Yoriko! Let’s hope she’s okay and not caught in between this mess. I’m so frustrated we have to wait for the enxt chapter, ugh I just hope everything turns out for the better for Touka and Kaneki. I can’t handle anymore tragedies.

mustsuki: you look like you need help

mutsuki: here lemme give you a hand

Mutsuki keeps calling her 'cat' whilst doing so.

Touka: ...

Mutsuki: I've really wanted to meet you.

Bad news all over the chap

TG:re 123 - Alas Poor Yoriko (aka Lend Yoriko a Hand 2k17)

x I couldn’t decide what title I wanted

x Why did I make live reaction posts a thing now? No one asked me to make this a thing. But it is now a thing.

x @ the blurb: No, Ishida, you don’t get to do that. How dare you. sobs

[Warning: TG:re 123 spoilers, long post, picture heavy content]

x W-w-would it be too much if I called out into the fandom and ask someone to draw Yoriko in this dress/any wedding dress? Just to soften the blow of this chap idk

x The use of “Watashi” vs “Ore”. Mutsuki tends to switch between the feminine/formal versus the masculine/informal “I” in this chapter. It makes me wonder if 1) yandere!Mutsuki = female!Mutsuki, and more importantly 2) Mutsuki is having a more severe dissociation of personality than Kaneki did.

x It makes me wonder if weak-willed but more stable m!Mutsuki and strong-willed batshit crazy f!Mutsuki will ever merge into one core personality. Or if, indeed, there is a third Mutsuki in there - the real one, an actual core personality who’s not defending against the trauma of their father’s abuse nor masquerading as a stable person.

x (Also, I am not looking forward to the gender discourse after that switch in lexicon. While interesting and engaging at times, it kind of turns into fanwankery. But I digress.)

x Aaaand I believe Mucchanko’s kill switch has been flipped.

x Wait, I assumed all this time they didn’t live together with Mutsuki anymore. But if that’s the case, did no one do anything about the extreme downward spiral Mutsuki had in the last few weeks? I mean, Saiko at least was aware of it.

x Also, I know this is nitpicking, but did Mutsuki not have a reaction to Urie’s own nadir? I mean, I know they’re obsessed with “Sensei” right now, but still.

x Urie, meet Mucchan’s wall of crazy.

x Has. Literally. No one. In. That. House. Noticed. Mutsuki’s. Trainwreck.

x Okay, I looked at two translations here, but I don’t know which is more accurate. (I don’t know what the original Japanese said.) Because this implies 2 very different things. The first one (MS) implies that the Mutsuki the CCG member feels betrayed as a comrade, but the second (JB) implies that Mutsuki the woman feels betrayed.

x Because on the second, Mutsuki switched back to the feminine “I” again, meaning they’re speaking as a woman. In that context, the subtext of this statement is, “As a woman, did I mean anything to you?” and that says a lot.

x I’m not sure if anyone still doubts Mutsuki = yandere, but I’ll just leave this here.

x Again a difference in translation (MS vs JB) that implies two different things.

x Take the second translation. It has somewhat suggestive (?) language there by Mutsuki. “Come back to me” implies she’s always thought of “sensei” as her own. Not as the Qs’ leader (”me” not “us”, she says) but as her “person”, so to speak. Someone whose existence revolved around her, just because Haise showed her even that little bit of kindness she’s always been craving.

x No way. Is that the Fueguchi spine quinque???? Am I wrong? I’ve got to be wrong. Why is Mutsuki using it????

x Aura, my sweet summer child. You do realize that 1) Your aunt is alive - bedridden, yes, but alive and looking better than most; and 2) You’re challenging the guy who (nearly) beat Arima???

x I honestly don’t know if I approve of using Aura as Mutsuki’s sidekick, narrative-wise. His motivations are way too weak as it is. There’s no dramatic tension with him fighting Kaneki. He could be replaced as a random red shirt and I wouldn’t know the difference. (Tbh I kept forgetting his name, I had to google it.) But I guess it’s to give Kaneki a challenge against a 2nd Gen Q. Idk.

x Touka, my queen YAAAAS so glorious, so beautiful I am unnnffff

x “Die you thief. Catcatcatcat” would I think be better translated as “thieving cat” (dorobo neko) - a Japanese metaphor for a man’s sidechick. Basically, Mutsuki is portraying herself as the main squeeze and Touka the mistress. Totally lost in translation I guess.

x TOUKA THOUGH.

x HERE IT COMES.

x OKAY BUT JUST WHY. WHY YORIKO. WHY.

x I mean, it came out of nowhere but also it makes a lot of sense?? Like I thought Ishida was only using Yoriko as a way for Mutsuki to put two and two together, not as freaking mangled bait against Touka.

x The thing is, chopping of her freaking ring hand is the cruelest possible way Ishida could bring her in the story.

x Firstly, it’s her ring hand = the symbol of commitment between her and Takeomi. Their wedding the one bright spot in the CCG right now, and now it’s been tainted horribly.

x Secondly, she works with her hands, gundammit. She’s a passionate chef/baker, and Mutsuki took that away so very, very violently. I mean, I’m not sure if I want Yoriko alive if it’s going to make her extremely miserable to live anyway.

x I do think that she’s alive though - Ishida doesn’t just kill his characters. He usually does lets them live to torture further. So yeah, I’m not too reassured.

x But there are a couple of good things I can see out of this: 1) If she is alive, she could reconnect with Touka, and 2) getting through a crisis like this would give her and Takeomi better development. I lowkey ship them so I’m hoping they get out of this intact (if not in one piece, clearly.)

...

x PS Why did I start reading 2 translations? MS kind of takes liberties with translations sometimes - take their hesitation to use honorifics for example - but they do have a clearer way of presenting over JB but what they sacrifice is little language nuances that JB is better at showing.
