Chapter 122

Drawing a giraffe at the zoo, Juuzou sinks into memories of his time as a scrapper at a Ghoul Restaurant. To please his owner, Big Madam, he was made to perform circus stunts, and out of fear that he would reach puberty, Big Madam had him castrated.

When the CCG raided the restaurant and freed him, investigators marveled at his agility, flexibility, and reflexes, yet his moral indifference, a product of being raised by ghouls, made them unwilling to admit him. Shinohara pushed back, arguing that Juuzou was a victim and that his past should be set aside. At the training academy, Juuzou confronted Goumasa Tokage after he finished skinning a cat, and instructors pinned the animal deaths on Juuzou to shield the staff's reputation.

Tsuneyoshi Washuu made Juuzou a Rank 3 investigator and paired him with Shinohara. Later, Shinohara meets him at the zoo to remind him of the coming Owl Suppression Operation, and Juuzou replies that living or dying makes no difference to him. Meanwhile Takizawa mulls over what he should put in his will.

Juuzou's origins are revealed: his enslavement at the Ghoul Restaurant, Big Madam's abuse, and his castration. His CCG rescue, Shinohara's defense of him as a victim, his clash with Goumasa Tokage, and his appointment as a Rank 3 investigator under Shinohara all unfold in flashback. In the present, Shinohara reminds Juuzou of the Owl Suppression Operation, and Takizawa struggles over writing his will.
