Ch. 381Pseudo-Hashirama Cells and True Hashirama Cells
Orochimaru tested whether ghouls could become human by modifying Touka Kirishima and Yoshimura Kuzen with Hashirama cells. Touka completed the transformation, but Yoshimura’s many kakuhou overwhelmed the pseudo-cells, so Orochimaru used genuine Hashirama cells to continue the experiment.
- Ken Kaneki saw that Amon Kotaro was undergoing a transformation to become a half-ghoul so he could understand ghouls and perhaps become human.
- Touka Kirishima endured more than two hours of pain and successfully transformed, then tasted a lollipop and wept with happiness.
- Yoshimura Kuzen agreed to undergo the procedure, hoping that becoming human might also be possible for his daughter, Eto Yoshimura.
- Yoshimura’s six kakuhou absorbed the pseudo-Hashirama cells, causing him to enter his kakuja form and regain his strength.
- Hyuga Shoyo sealed Yoshimura’s kakuhou, and Orochimaru injected him with a neurotoxin before applying genuine Hashirama cells, which began to overpower the kakuhou.
