WHEN DID HIS NAME CHANGE TO BEING WRITTEN ENTIRELY IN KANJI OH MY GOD I NEED TO KNOW

what if they changed it according to how he himself knows how to write his name? now that he’s in a more positive place he managed to advance further and is able to learn like he couldn’t before ;;

hinami could have also taught him in aogiri-

I think Ayato would at least have been able to write his name, he’s not completely illiterate since he was reading a book in that flashback and the novel mentions him reading some publications about ghouls or something like that. 

I thought maybe it’s because he tries to be more true to himself in :re so he goes back to the kanji his parents named him because he’s accepted the part of himself he once forced down like his kindness (which Hinami helped him rediscover COUGH COUGH). 

Or maybe it’s because he got super hot like some kind of masterpiece and the kanji of his name is like art person… lmao idk. wtf. 

I agree! Arata used to read him and Touka some books too, he can’t be actually illiterate completely. What I thought is that there is a possible option he learned to write his name in Hiragana when he was little but changed it later on when he got older and learned the proper kanjis ^^

I think I like your version better though, him finally accepting his parents and letting it go sounds like he finally can be at peace with himself.

and truly…… his sculpted face reallydoes deseve fancy kanji. Hinami would agree~
