'Tokyo Ghoul' Season 4 Episode 2 Air Date, Spoilers: Is Ken Kaneki Ready to Go Head to Head with Arima?

“Tokyo Ghoul” season 4 episode 2 may be the tipping point for fans who were disappointed by the installment's premiere episode. Thankfully, the upcoming episode may have enough exciting material for fans who are dedicated viewers of the series rather than the manga.

In the official “Tokyo Ghoul” season 4 episode 2 preview summary, it is mentioned that the Third Cochlea raid will be Haise's breaking point. With most of his Ken Kaneki memories restored, Haise will risk everything to free his childhood friend Hinami from the CCG base's prisons. But aside from Hinami, Ken Kanaki will also be forced to save an important figure in the Ghoul community. The upcoming battle in “Tokyo Ghoul” season 4 episode 2 will pit student against teacher and it will not be an easy fight for either party involved.

Fans of the series who also read the manga know that Touka, Ayato and Yomo will encounter the CCG Squad 0 leader Kishou Arima during the Cochlea raid. At this moment in “Tokyo Ghoul” season 4 episode 2, Ken will step in to defend Yomo from his squad leader and mentor. This will be particularly troubling for fans who care about Arima's almost parent-like relationship with the former Haise Sasaki.

While the series has been noted to deviate or even cut out significant parts of the story during its adaptation, fans can hope that Studio Perriot will give attention to Arima and Ken's battle in “Tokyo Ghoul” season 4 episode 2. The moment will be an important step for Ken to fully realize which side of the war between humans and ghouls he will continue to fight for.

Fans looking forward to the showdown between Squad 0 leader Arima and the reborn Ken Kaneki can catch “Tokyo Ghoul” season 4 episode 2 when it returns with its weekly Tuesday schedule on Oct. 16. Fans can also stream the upcoming episode on Crunchyroll.
