Why do you like Eto?

[Arima]

I see many people posting in almost every thread that they like Eto and how amazing she is, but so far I didn't see a good reason as for why people like her. What makes her good/likable character.

I personally never really liked her as a character.

I never saw much people to be honest that find her awesom compared to tsukiyamas and Kanekis fans its not that much
thats what i think

anyway she is my favorite character in the series and i try to explain why it is complex

I like Eto because of that nature how she twsist things and also i feel for the character because of her past
I get the feeling that she is letting her feelings out with her actions

Anyway she is as the Owl an absolutely cruel person but then has a complete different personality as the author which is just played though but still intersting
I like how she writes books that reason i wann really know why she makes the books

For some reason when i hear she wants to destroy everything and that she deep inside might be sad
For some reason i really identify to her i mean she was not evil from the start her being abandoned caused that
Her reactions and actions they are telling me that she has a reason why she is like that but it is unknown and unpredictable

Also special sidenote i like blood hungry female characters that have a hatred towards everything and shapeshift into something great but at the same time does nit show her emotions at all

Eto is just like a character i have been waiting for years to appear in a series

it is compex to explain

I like how she trotures her victims with words and maybe a bit brutality like the needle scene

Also Etos targets i realized are often people witha special background taht ahs something to do with parentlove and that reflects her problem kinda that is what i realized

Eto is awesome.

She is a conspicuous girl that possesses power, independence, allure and mystery. Managing to live a dual life as one of the most famous Japanese novelists and the most dangerous ghoul and number one target of the CCG, she does it with such finesse and without any sign of effort that liking her comes naturally.

Extremely cunning and malevolently cute, she'll do the most ridiculous things to reach her goal, for example walking into the enemy's base like it's nothing, managing to divert the CCG's attention from Aogiri and at the same time (in the anime) indirectly destroy the one place Kaneki can return - simply brilliant. She gives off that ''the world is a game to me'' feel, like nothing could surprise or hinder her, like she's always two steps ahead of everyone. She also doesn't have any romantic interests whatsoever, which makes her even better, at least for me.

She has a god complex, as she herself somewhat admitted, and is one of the few characters in fiction that share this trait that plays it off really well.

Eto is easily my second favorite female character from TG, only slightly behind Hinami.

she's complicated character . she's maniacal in a way but it depends on your interpretation of her the things she do is a result of being left to fend for herself

A lot of Ghouls live a dual life - Touka, Souta (Furuta), Yomo, Nishiki etc.
Nishiki and Rize used to live a dual life without any effort. Nishiki - going to college, having *** with humans, killing/eating humans. Same with Rize - devouring a ton of people, then walking around as if nothing happened.

Arima and Juuzou also do/did the following - "walking into the enemy's base like it's nothing".

As for her being two steps ahead, I think the only reason she takes others by surprise is because you cannot predict her, since she acts on a whim, not a plan, because she has a power.

Simple, eto is love, eto is life

I agree i think what makes her character more interesting is that you cannot really tell what her true motive is

In Etos case i actually more focus on her feelings, how she might feel, why she is doing this, for what purpose is she writing the books

Eto is my favorite character but i am gonna say that i think the true mastermind is not her because in the past no matter how you look at it she is a victim of V

If that would never happened Yoshimura and Ukina would have raised her

But still i am interested how she could become an author or i always wonder what she thinks of Ukina because of the diary

I just know that she is probably hating her father but the feelings towards her mother are unknown

Eto is complex but still i can see that a lot of feelings are inside of her unlike other characters like Kanou that are absolutely without emotion

Eto is cruel and i like that but i think she has a reason for everythingand i focus more on her character in general even if she would not be so pwoerful i would focus on her because the character is interesting to analyze

She is....the essence of what a perfect female character would be (in my opinion). She is one of evil, but driven so by the world she lives in. She wears a shell of savagery , only to hide the girl that is truly scared & lonely. Her twisted ways of showing affection could have been caused by the way she had lived during her younger years, fighting other ghouls & the CCG; never learning the right way. Her mysterious backstory & her sinister ways are what intrigue us (well, at least I am(along with that sexy bode)) We (I) earn for her to find a person of true value to her(Kaneki in my opinion), and come to realize her atrocities. Eto is love, Eto is life. - a thirsty fan

 

[Ambivalence]

I'll just pretend you didn't compare Eto to Touka. And all of the people you mentioned (save for Souta) can't be compared in scale to Eto.

Arima and Juuzou also do/did the following - "walking into the enemy's base like it's nothing"./quote]

Lol, what? You got a link for this? Arima or Juuzou never infiltrated a ghoul stronghold without anyone suspecting who they are, nor did they casually talk with their species' arch enemy while diverting the ghouls' attention from CCG to a different faction, and then attacking them while they're weakened.

Eto's approach was completely different from Arima and Suzuya's.

since Eto acts on a whim

This is where you lost all credibility. Are we talking about the same character?

I agree with you about everything except for one fact i want her to get more happy but no ship please

ETo x Kaneki is just not ok to the plot in my opinion and Kaneki can change her maybe as Yoshimura said but it is too naive to think it will create a ship to be honest just saying

Also i just find their is o ansolute reason to ship them

Most people only shipped the for being both One Eyeds and that is just all there is to it

their pasts are different and TG ships are unneccesary

Anyway i go along with what you said

 

[Byron123]

Well I personally like her because so far she's very original. She has god-like powers and she enjoys using them. For her, everything is a game and she's willing to play if there is something that will keep her occupied. The whole concept of her appearace is intriguing as well, she looks like a little troll (no pun intended) while she's mummified. The fact that she's also a highly intellectual person who is admired by the protagonist creates a twsited bond between them which is also interesting. Even her sense of humour and torure is sophisticated and artistically twisted. However, what I love more about her is that she doesn't destroy or kill just for fun. She basically searches for inspiration and is willing to go to extreme lenghts to get it, even if it means to create her own tragedy hero in reality.

- Juuzou walks into the enemy's base without anyone suspecting that he is a CCG investigator.

"Whack-a-mole" operations - Arima going straight to where ghouls live and casually exterminating them.

Besides, "walking into the enemy's base like it's nothing" doesn't make one a better character.

This is where you lost all credibility. Are we talking about the same character?

Well, I'm talking about Eto, that's for sure.
Here are the parts when I can remember her being a part of a plan:
- Tartara's plan during aogiri arc
- Interrupting Anteiku Raid arc - ran away with Yoshimura's body (maybe plan was to retrieve his body, but she stopped to mess with Juuzou and Arima)
- Auction Raid - prevent Quinque metal transportation - plan failed, since CCG has foreseen it.

The rest of the time Eto APPEARS to have a plan, but it's not clear whether she has one or just messing with others.

But I won't argue about how we perceive her as a character, I just wanted to know others' thoughts about her.

 

[SUPERDEADLYKING]

because she is crazy hAHAHAH

 

[Narutrol]

For me it's very simple since she's the sexiest in the whole manga. And one eye is hot

 

[Aya San]

Comically over the top.
