'Tokyo Ghoul' Season 3 Spoilers: Are Production Delays Caused By 'Tokyo Ghoul' Live Action Movie?

Pending any official information on "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3, fans have been busy speculating what will happen in the upcoming season believed to be slated for release this spring. Recent reports hint that the delay in the release of the third season may be due to a lack of materials to push through with production.

According to a report by TV Season Spoilers, production is working hard to come up with an engaging story after the "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 2 resulted in a lot of negative comments from fans of the original manga series. Among the chief complaints of fans was the lack of character development, causing a gap between the characters and the audience.

The production of the live action adaptation of "Tokyo Ghoul" could also be one source of the holdup as the same writers may also be responsible for producing the script of the movie and the anime. The live action adaptation looks promising as it has director Kentayo Hagiwara at the helm. Designer Masanori Morikawa, who has designed for global fashion icons Lady Gaga and G-Dragon, has also been tapped to create the costumes for the live action movie.

Based on fan theories posted on youtube, Tokyo Ghoul Season 3 may revolve around the character of Ken Kaneki, who was killed off in the last season of "Tokyo Ghoul." According to fan theories, a new character will be introduced who bears a striking resemblance to the character.

The new character named Haise Sasaki will be a special CCG investigator and a member the "Quinx Squad". It is believed that Sasaki could be Kaneki in disguise and "Tokyo Ghoul" Season 3 could revolve around he became the new character. For now, fans of the franchise are content to wait for the release of the "Tokyo Ghoul" live action adaptation slated for a July 29, 2017, release.
