(Tokyo Ghoul x Winx Club)

Chapter 9

Before I go into this chapter, a friend YeTianshi told me their concerns so I decided to paste the review and my response to clear up some confusions you guys had but didn't say.

YeTianshi 

"It was a nice chapter, I do wonder if the suspicious nature of some of the Winx girls, and the Pixies spending time with Kaneki (the only one who would give them the time of day at the time) will create an interesting event soon.

Probably the only thing that bugged me is how Kaneki lost, and it's not the loss that bugged me either. It's how generally losses like that only happen in a "safe" way, or the character somehow gets saved by someone last minute, or they weren't giving it their all. Kaneki could've been killed, I hope he takes that to heart and decides to train both physically and his magic. He has an entire library at his disposal, better take advantage of it.

Not sure why Faragonda banned him from the library though, did she overhear the conversation and simply wanted to force him in a situation where he would NEED to socialize?

I think that's kind of stepping out of bounds for more than one reason. One, Kaneki is trying to get back home, so making friends in Alfea is only bound to cause pain. Two, some people prefer doing their own activities, it's easier to find someone you're more likely to get along with if you find them at common ground (if he found someone as interested in books as him who visited the library), than it is to go somewhere randomly and hope for the best.

I do understand that the specific library he was at is restricted, but I'm sure there was at least one other library everyone had access to.

Overall it was a pretty good chapter :D"

My response

"It wasn't the library he was banned from but the magic archive which is forbidden and hidden to students, he's still allowed to go to the main library. The magic archive has rare books in it which most, if not all, the students wouldn't need. Dimension travelling isn't an everyday topic so it isn't in the main library, the last thing Faragonda wants is for certain students, like Tecna, to get suspicious to see Kaneki researching an unusual topic. In Magix, ghouls are extinct so if anyone finds out about Kaneki then he'll be trapped for the sake of trying to reintroduce the ghoul species. They wouldn't care if he was from another dimension.

Speaking of ghouls, he didn't use his magic against Avalon because he's fighting with instinct, aka his kagune, that's what he is proficient in using. I mean, if you were in a fight, you'd use the style you were most comfortable with instead of a new style. Don't worry because he's going to realise the seriousness of the battle in the next chapter.

The reason why he was banned is that Faragonda was meeting with the Guardian's of the Codex in the magic archive (I forgot to put that scene in), Faragonda is beginning to realise that the Codex is in danger and that Kaneki is linked due to Darkar. In other words, the less he knows the better. She wasn't trying to get him to socialise.

Kaneki isn't interested in making friends because he's trying to get home, you're right about that, but Concorda is just looking out for him. People always look out for the ones they care about, she doesn't want him to be lonely and obsess about getting home to the point where he stops taking care of himself. Concorda needs to take care of the archive so she can't check up on him often and her pixie pets are limited by what they can do. Him having friends will slowly make him realise how he needs to take care of himself and not be a self-sacrificing idiot. Also, Kaneki is still kinda human and humans crave social interaction, they don't do well with loneliness.

Having friends is important in development, in real life as well. Leaving your friends behind is always painful, but just a natural point in life. It's gonna happen to everyone, Kaneki knows this which is why he stays away, but the Winx and specialists (when they learn the truth) want him to have such great memories with them all together. That way there is little regrets. You wanna have great memories instead of a lonely one.
