lmao the glasses randomly reminded me of kabuto from naruto after he absorbed orochimaru. (or maybe because kabuto was trying to become orochimaru?)
well, this was the only realistic scenario where kaneki didn't wind up on the run or some other type of cliche..so it isn't really all that bad.
shirazu's remains ending up in kanou's hands is ridiculously predictable though. pre-arc we're shown one convo with kanou and it happens to touch the topic of him wanting one of the Qs? meh.
though the latter point, if the pre-arc convo was significant for foreshadowing things, and kanou was talking about great assistants....hehe furuta/souta you're becoming more obvious by the chapter. if only you were partnered with our dearly abused protagonist
