The Greatest Depiction of 'The Strongest'

645 times. That’s the number of times I could have critically injured you. And also, the number of times I’ve decided against doing so. I could kill you in two seconds. Your eyes are the eyes of the dead. The dead… cannot stop me.” Long before Jujutsu Kaisen’s Sukuna, and long after Hunter X Hunter’s Meruem, Tokyo Ghoul would introduce us to one of, if not the greatest depiction of the strongest, Arima Kishou. In this video, I intend to explain & provide a bit of analysis behin d what allowed Arima Kishou to be what I believe is the greatest depiction of the strongest; and why his strength was different from most who are declared the strongest. Unlike most who are declared the strongest of their series, Arima Kishou did not bring excitement or hope to the story with his appearance, but quite the contrary. He would usually be accompanied by fear & desperation. With that said, i’ll wrap up the intro here.

The Grim Reaper standing in a field of flowers as Kaneki walks into him in a daze is still one of the best setups for a fight that I've seen in manga.

[Mystic]

Bro was so strong that the only person who could kill him was he himself

[Mugiwara]

Seeing Kaneki get tortured was one thing dawg
But seeing how hopeless he was during the first fight was Arima was a different level of Pain
🥹😭

[Doflaminguard]

I hate studio Pierrot for doing Tokyo Ghoul dirty.

[jaggyd]

This is why many manga readers hated the anime even though it had great reception from the non manga reader's

[Hex]

I cannot get over how beautiful Ishida's art is. I haven't gotten to see it in a long time until watching this.

[theanimeboy]

Dude I keep telling everyone, if Tokyo Ghoul is given the same (or higher) budget and animation studios as mainstream anime nowadays, it could EASILY be one of THE BEST ANIME ADAPTATIONS out there. The story and characters are just that well written!

[eatyourveggies_]

Arima was "old", blind, had ghoul diabetes and shht and STILL whooping everyone. His mantle passing to Suzuya is what made "The New Reaper" so threatening; it was a testament to how strong Arima was and Suzuya had become. It was painful seeing how kind he could be to Haise, but thats after he stabbed him in the head. The only other time Kaneki would be defeated that bad he was facing TWO Aratas. So yeah, Arima strong.

[alberthwastaken]

Arima was written not as a character, but as a force.
He is death itself in Tokyo Ghoul, CCG's Grim Reaper. Where he is, death follows right behind him.

[guibzmitrail]

Growing is realizing that arima kishou with his handsomeness and white hairs was basically the first gojo of his own universe

[beauoddball]

One Thing I really Love about Arima and by association Eto is That over the course of TG and TG Re is that They constantly care about Kaneki in a very twisted way but they also want him to carry on their wills to change the world that made them the way they are. Him being the One Eyed King with his glacouma and Kaneki being raised to become the One Eyed King is very beautiful in my eyes.

[Lumiere]

ARIMA IS SO COLD, God I was fiending to see him more in the series

[Krats]

He was frightening to see show up on panel because you knew somebody was going to die.

[crammothy]

Tokyo Ghoul is pretty much a shonen but “realistic” in the ways that morality and characters are depicted. So it makes sense that “the strongest” in that series is easily one of the best versions of “the strongest” we have ever seen. His decision to team up with Eto, the #1 enemy of the CCG at the time, in order for a better world is great and I just realized that Gojo was accused of working with the #1 enemy of Jujutsu sorcerers as the reason for the higher ups to justify making it illegal to unseal him.

[isabellas]

Tokyo Ghoul is so goated. Such a phenomenally written manga. It's definitely up there in best written seinens and mangas of all time, imo. I loved every minute of it.

[David-lwsp]

My favorite all time panel is when Arima is dragging kaneki’s lifeless body and Tatara bowing down to him while calling him King is one of the coldest things I’ve ever seen

[asiangangster]

I can’t tell you how much appreciated this video is, Arima is criminally underrated, and it makes me mad not a lot of people knows about how ridiculously strong he is

[MrFlip]

"The one who wished for death more than anyone was none other than the grim reaper himself."
is the single best line in the manga it gave me chills the first time I read it. the art is gorgeous and hits hard.

[bxrcode]

Arima and his panels are incomparable to any other manga.

[SmallOneEyedKing]

Arima vs Kaneki to me teaches us that to protect other you must protect yourself first.

You can't love others if you can't love yourself.

Tokyo Ghoul is always the story about Kaneki Ken. His morals are always being tested and challenged forcing him to change his Ideals, his method, his emotions, his personalities.

But what Arima did is shoves the Answer Right infront of Kaneki and helps him...Accept who he truly is.

Because that is what a father does. "They do what's Best for there Children".
