He helps Kaneki but he’s also part of the Clowns, and it’s hard to tell what his motives are. Rather, Uta has been a rather enigmatic figure, with their backstory related to mostly snippets of conversation rather than flashbacks, and Uta not giving much information about himself overall. Of course, this isn’t an issue with the anime, but the source material itself, but it didn’t earn the anime any points either.Īs for Uta and Renji, this has been a dynamic that’s been there for a while. As a result, even though it’s important as in the finale to take down extremely powerful ghouls like Priest, it has significantly less of an emotional punch. If it has been brought up, it was a very long time ago, something that a die-hard fan might remember, but not something that the average fan would, especially with Re doubling the cast in size. He and Amon have backstory of course, with him being Amon’s foster father that turned out to be a ghoul, but it isn’t something that’s been brought up recently.

Unlike Uta and Renji who we’ve known since very early on in the series, Father is a relatively new addition, and the last time we saw him, it was a fight between him and Urie, not him and Amon. The fact that a large chunk of the episode is dedicated to Priest and Amon is a bit of a letdown. Owl’s resurrected corpse is being used as a murder puppet, and the Clowns are once again causing trouble. The major battle starts, with everyone having to get a jumps-start on the dragon’s awakening as monsters attack them from all sides. It’s a race against time to fight the dragon.
