The anime and manga world has been rocked by the appearance of an alleged “key visual” of the long-awaited Tokyo Ghoul remake. The image, which shows a tormented Ken Kaneki tied to a chair, recreating Jason’s iconic torture scene, has generated a stir on social networks and discussion forums. However, before you get too excited, it is crucial to clarify that this image is fan art, a piece created by the talented artist known as @cpasDryNa.
An alleged “key visual” of the Tokyo Ghoul remake has set social media ablaze, but is it real? Find out the truth behind this stunning image and what it means for the future of anime.
The image in question is a stunning work of art. With a style reminiscent of the original art of Sui Ishida, the creator of Tokyo Ghoul, the illustration captures Kaneki’s anguish and suffering masterfully. The composition, with Kaneki leaning forward, gaze lost and body battered, conveys the emotional intensity of the scene. The details, such as the texture of his skin and the way the light hits his white hair, demonstrate the artist’s talent and dedication.
The fact that this fan art has been mistaken for an official “key visual” is a testament to the power of the fan community and the quality of the work. The image has been shared thousands of times, generating excitement and speculation about the possible visual style of the remake. It also demonstrates the lasting impact Tokyo Ghoul has had on popular culture.
At the bottom left, it reads “CAST INTERVIEW” followed by the names of the voice actors: Natsuki Hanae, Sora Amamiya and Toshiyuki Toyonaga. Below, it reads “ARTIST INTERVIEW” followed by the artist’s name “TK” and the phrase “Works by Sui Ishida”. At the bottom right, it reads “The One-Eyed Ghoul” in Japanese. Finally, at the bottom center, you can read the date “2024.12.21”, the magazine number “anan No.2420” and the price “¥780”. It is also mentioned that the artwork was created by “@cpasDryNa.”
Tokyo Ghoul, created by Sui Ishida, is a manga and anime that has left an indelible mark on popular culture. The story follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who becomes a ghoul, a creature that feeds on human flesh. The series explores themes such as identity, morality and the struggle for survival in a cruel and merciless world.
The anime, produced by Studio Pierrot, first aired in 2014 and quickly gained popularity thanks to its dark plot, complex characters and high-quality animation. The series is also known for its soundtrack, which includes iconic tracks such as “Unravel” by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure.
Is there a possibility of a Remake?
While the alleged “key visual” is false, the excitement it has generated demonstrates how much interest there is in a Tokyo Ghoul remake. The possibility of a remake has been on fans’ minds for years. The original anime adaptation, while popular, deviated from the manga at one point, leading to criticism and a desire for a new adaptation that is more faithful to the original work.
Sadly, the reality may be more disappointing, as at the time of this publication there is no reliable source announcing a remake for this work. Tokyo Ghoul is already 10 years old since its first television premiere, and despite its popularity over time, the chances of a remake are still distant, especially if we consider that the changes in the anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul were fully supported by its creator Sui Ishida.
