  • Tokyo Ghoul Jumpchain V1.0 by Tokyoanon Welcome to Tokyo but As You May Have Guessed, There’S Some Differences to the One You’Re Familiar With
    Tokyo Ghoul Jumpchain v1.0 By TokyoAnon Welcome to Tokyo but as you may have guessed, there’s some differences to the one you’re familiar with. As you may have guessed, the main difference is the existence of Ghouls, a subspecies of humanity with a high count of Rc cells. These cells have the appearance of a curled up fetus, sometimes called “liquid muscle”, they flow like blood and can become as solid as teeth. The crucial part is that they’re what ghouls need to keep on living and these cells are only found in humans and other ghouls. The problem being is that humans are much tastier than a ghoul. Though there are prevalent rumours of ghouls gaining great power through cannibalizing each other Now to make it … worse, the tongue of a ghoul is much different than that of a human so every human food except black coffee will taste awful. It’ll even give them food poisoning too and weaken them should they try to digest it. With the only other choice being to starve, ghouls naturally prey on humanity, living among them and eating at least one human a month. Perhaps more, if the ghoul is insatiable or cruel. However, humanity is not without its claws. The Commission of Counter Ghoul, claimed to be founded 100 years ago to exterminate a powerful One-Eyed ghoul, serves as humanity’s sword and shield against ghouls. They’re headed by the venerable Washuu family whose members have hunted ghouls for well over a century, though with a heavy hand caring only for results not lives.

  • Ghoul: Challenging the Category of the 'Nationalist Muslim'
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Ghoul: Challenging the Category of the ‘Nationalist Muslim’ AAKSHI MAGAZINE Aakshi Magazine ([email protected]) is a PhD candidate in Film Studies at the University of St Andrews where she is working on the ideological role of the film song in 1950s Hindi cinema. Vol. 53, Issue No. 45, 17 Nov, 2018 The Netflix web series Ghoul provides an alternative to the stereotypical representation of the Muslim figure in Hindi cinema through its central protagonist and her dilemmas. Ghoul is an Indian web series which was directed by Patrick Graham and set in a dystopian future. The series begins with an ominous sign that says, “Terrorists are among us. Be vigilant.” Then we are introduced to the main protagonist, Nida Rahim (Radhika Apte) along with her father Shahnawaz Rahim (S.M. Zaheer) who are travelling in a car. Nida’s hijab tells us that she is Muslim. Following the symbology of popular Hindi cinema, this warns the audience about their loyalty. But contrary to what the initial scenes suggest, the miniseries is a refreshing intervention in the current discourse around ‘anti-nationalism’. The series confronts this discourse in the first few minutes itself, as the characters mention loaded terms like desh-droh and wapasi in their conversation. Shahnawaz is angry about the way ‘his’ people are being treated: innocents are being picked up in the name of wapasi. Nida, however, is suspicious of what her father is saying. She does not believe that people who are picked up are innocent, and tells her father that their community has always been taught wrong things.

  • Military Aviation: Issues and Options for Combating Terrorism and Counterinsurgency
    Order Code RL32737 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Military Aviation: Issues and Options for Combating Terrorism and Counterinsurgency January 27, 2006 Christopher Bolkcom Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle East Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Military Aviation: Issues and Options for Combating Terrorism Summary By all accounts, the U.S. military dominates state-on-state conflict. In the past, non-state actors (terrorists, guerrillas, drug traffickers) appeared to be less threatening to U.S. national security than the well funded, well organized, and potent armed forces of an enemy nation-state. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 illustrate, however, that small groups of non-state actors can exploit relatively inexpensive and commercially available technology to conduct very destructive attacks over great distances. Today’s U.S. armed forces were developed principally with state-on-state conflict in mind. Combating non-state actors, however, presents a number of distinct challenges in terms of operations, cost, and mindset. Non-state actors generally strive to hide within civilian populations. While U.S. policy makers typically seek quick and decisive victories, non-state actors seek protracted war. Non-state actors often employ cheap, commercially available weapons, that often result in expensive responses by the United States. Many of the weapons and methods employed today by U.S. armed forces can be used against non-state actors. Some, however, are more directly applicable than others. U.S. experience in conducting close air support (CAS), employing special operations forces (SOF) and advising friendly governments in using aviation to defend themselves from insurgents and terrorists may form a basis for building capabilities against non-state actors.

  • Kaneki Ken's Character Arc: a Hero's Journey Analysis
    Hafiz Priyansyah Kaneki Ken’s Character Arc: A Hero’s Journey Analysis Kaneki Ken’s Character Arc: A Hero’s Journey Analysis Hafiz Priyansyah English Language and Literature Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia ABSTRACT Literature has a trend that has grown its fame across the globe, called manga. They are similar in form with Western comic books, but with a different style and structure of the story’s presentation. One of the key elements of a manga’s story, the characters, pique the interest of the researcher. Kaneki Ken is the protagonist of the Tokyo Ghoul series that possesses this interesting characterization to look into. He goes through a journey that changes his characterization in a certain point in the story. To analyze this characterization, two analysis methods are used; Vogler’s (1996) hero’s journey theory and Sicoe’s (2013) character arc theory. The hero’ journey theory is used to gain an understanding of the events Kaneki goes through in his story, while the character arc theory is used to determine the kind of change he experiences. The result shows that Kaneki’s journey is a tragic hero’s journey, different from the traditional hero’s journey, and that he experiences the fall arc, which is, essentially, a tragedy. Furthermore, analysis of Kaneki’s unorthodox hero’s journey leads to the discovery of how an idolized character can start a serialization of literature, and how a serial literature, especially mangas, tend to be devious towards the hero’s journey theory. Keywords: Kaneki Ken, Hero’s journey, Character Arc 57 Passage2018, 6(3), 57-87 INTRODUCTION One of the methods to analyze a Manga is a growing trend in the world.
