'Tokyo Ghoul' Season 3 Updates: Highly-Anticipated Anime Confirmed to Arrive in 2018
After all the cancellation rumors, it has finally been announced that "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 is arriving next year.
"Tokyo" season 3 was recently confirmed by no less than its manga creator Sui Ishida and was announced to be still based on its manga counterpart and will not be a reboot. While the highly anticipated anime series does not yet have an exact release date, a promotional trailer that teases its arrival next year has already been released.
As seen on "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 trailer, it has been confirmed that earlier rumors claiming that the anime series will feature a new protagonist named Haise Sasaki were not just mere speculations. After all, avid "Tokyo Ghoul" fans know too well that Haise Sasaki, indeed, replaced Ken Kaneki, the protagonist in the past two seasons of the anime series, as the lead in the story.

However, earlier rumors also claimed that Haise Sasaki and Ken Kaneki are one and the same. While some thought that the earlier hero of the manga series and the anime died following his battle with Arima, spoiler reports claim that Ken Kaneki did not really die but just suffered from amnesia. Because he has no recollection of who he really is, it is said that he will assume the name, Haise Sasaki.
Reportedly, "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 will follow the story of Haise Sasaki as a part of the Quinx Squad, a group of normal humans who have been implanted with the quinque of a ghoul through surgical procedures.
To recall, there had been several rumors in the past claiming that "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 has been canceled as its season 2 was poorly received by the fans due to its deviation from the events in the manga. Because of their disappointment, fans even launched an online campaign asking Ishida to have the series rebooted by another studio, Madhouse Entertainment, and move away from Studio Pierrot.
With Studio Pierrot still the one in charge in the production of "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3, fans can only wonder if it will be more faithful to the anime's manga counterpart this time around and eventually redeem itself.
