Tokyo Ghoul creator redeems villains

Sui Ishida, the creator of the popular manga series Tokyo Ghoul, is known for his dark and complex characters. However, while many of his antagonists have been intriguing and multi-dimensional, they have often been irredeemably evil. That is, until his new manga Choujin X.

In this series, Ishida has created a new breed of villains, ones that are not purely evil but rather have more nuanced motivations and actions. In chapter 30.2 of Choujin X, Ishida introduces an unidentified woman who tells the villain Chandra Hume that capturing the “beast of salvation” will save the land and Yamato from destruction. Hume, who is pursuing this creature, is understandably alarmed when he thinks he has killed it, and he attempts to revive it.

This moment marks a departure from Ishida’s previous works, such as Tokyo Ghoul, where the antagonists were often portrayed as evil for evil’s sake. While some characters, like Shuu Tsukiyama, had glimpses of goodness, their actions were often overshadowed by their darker tendencies.

By creating a character like Chandra Hume, who is pursuing the beast of salvation not out of a desire for power or destruction, but out of a sense of duty and responsibility, Ishida is adding new layers to his storytelling. This character, while not necessarily “good,” is certainly more redeemable than many of the villains in Tokyo Ghoul.

It’s interesting to note that Ishida still retains his signature style of creating complicated and morally ambiguous characters. In Choujin X, there are still characters who have committed acts of extreme violence, and even one who tortures their victims. However, these characters are not portrayed as purely evil, and their motivations are more complex than the typical “villain” archetype.

Overall, Ishida’s foray into Choujin X shows that he is continuing to evolve as a storyteller, and that he is willing to take risks in order to create more interesting and compelling characters. Fans of Tokyo Ghoul may be surprised by this new direction, but it’s clear that Ishida is still exploring the darker aspects of humanity, just in a new and different way.
