list of things kaneki copied from others:
because this kid is just an amalgam of things he took from others (from the time he was a kid, when hide noticed he was a good actor — because he was always wearing a mask)
feel free to add things (pls do actually, i’m sure i missed stuff)
the chin touch and “it’s better to be hurt than to hurt others” — from his mother
rize impaled him through the stomach — the first time he fought nishiki, he went straight for nishiki’s stomach (edit: he also regularly targets the stomach this way. like, almost every fight there’s a bit where he goes for someone’s stomach.)
“this world is wrong” — from amon, he brings this up a lot but here’s one cap:
touka broke his finger during training — he went and broke half of ayato’s bones
finger cracking, counting backwards — from yamori obvs
then he literally wears yamori’s mask while trying to train banjou to use his kagune — oh, yeah, the exact same way touka trained him — by beating him up and saying terrible things to him
he copied hinami’s haircut from a book and replicated it perfectly
he learned to fight from books
he copies shachi’s technique while they’re still fighting
and i mean this isn’t really a copying thing, but nishiki noticed kaneki fights better when wearing his mask and that’s not an accident because his whole fucking life is wearing a mask — this one is the one where he’s good at fighting
still does the fucking finger cracking thing
copies the way he stretches before a fight from touka
uses the coming from underground trick that arima used on him
copies arima’s fighting style to the point where everyone around him notices
but then, after all this, after seeing how much he’s taken from other people, i also have the question:
what did he get from hide?
he was friends with hide so long, what parts of hide did he adopt?
