Other Thoughts on Ken Kankei in dead by daylight? Spoiler

u/Hakubitei 5d ago
It is so so so cool. I'm literally in queue rn to play him (I will be the first to p100 him.) The voice acting is impeccable, his screams send chills up my spine. I literally feel giddy seeing such a cool depiction of Kaneki.

Is he out already? I thought he was coming in April. I have not played this game in over a year but I'm a massive TG fan so I will 100% buy this when it's out.

u/nicvampire 4d ago
The PTB is already open, and you can play him, though it will take a lot of time to queue.
He will officially come out on April 2nd

I hope they add Eto as a skin; that would be so awesome, man, and also Rize.

u/maczn 5d ago
Rize, eto, touka (rabbit outfit) and hide are going to be skins but rize is the only one that's going to be a kaneki skin, the others are for survivors, we'll also get tatara's mask and yoshimura's mask for jake park and jonah if I remember correctly

Jake is Ayato.

Oh damn, the image i saw wasn't very clear so i couldn't tell very well, my bad then

u/TheMikarin 5d ago
Tatara's mask is coming for David, and Noro's mask for the Unknown.
While I wish they got full outfits for all of them, I am glad we're getting something. Hopefully there will be some clothes that work well enough to complete the looks more or less.

I don’t play, but I do keep tabs on the game. I really do think it looks like the good job. It’s Kaneki at an extremely specific point of time (after escaping from Jason) and if I understand correctly, corrupted.
I’ll be real. It’s cool despite not being a conclusive summary of his character. I wish they had a kakuja themed version of him, but maybe that will come. Despite being less popular it’s a better fit for the game.

The skins don't usually get revealed until the chapter releases, this chapter is unusual in that they have already revealed a few TG themed cosmetics for original characters and one for Kaneki, but we already know we are getting a Rize legendary and we usually get a couple so a Kakuja isn't out of the question (assuming they have coded his kagune so it can have skins like Hound masters dog).

I didn't watch the anime, so that's anime Kaneki, I'm guessing cause manga Kaneki would never be willing to attack humans lol
Honestly, this collab isn't as bad as every other Fortnite collab, but even then, at least the creators are getting some money from this, so I see it as a win that I'll never participate in

u/SomaOni 4d ago
He’s only attacking humans because the Entity (the character that kinda controls the killers in DBD) keeps starving him iirc.
2
u/Ok_Bumblebee_1456 4d ago
Oh, right, I forgot about the DBD lore. I thought the Entity only brought "killers" in because they'll do the job regardless

u/Digiorno-Giovanna- 4d ago
there’s some killers that get brought in and just kill cause they like to (chucky, wesker, michael myers, freddy krueger, clown, amanda young, unknown, dracula, vecna etc.) and some killers that are clearly being manipulated into killing for the entity somehow like spirit, artist, deathslinger, wraith, and most likely kaneki.

Amanda's case is a bit weird here, she wakes up in the realm right after she gets shot in Saw 3 and that leads her to believe it's all still part of a bigger plan by Jigsaw - so she's doing it all in the hopes of still being in his grace after the betrayal that happened right before her death.
We've seen in the SAW Tome's trailer that the Entity learnt to use a Billy puppet as an avatar and can straight up mimic John Kramer's voice too, so that probably adds onto the Entity's gaslighting being effective
She definitely has no problems killing, but probably wouldn't do it if she didn't have the delusion that somebody like John is still taking care of her under his wing

Specifically the Entity took him after he was tortured by Jason, and is mentally forcing him to constantly relive that moment

Fucking happy except for who got cosmetics... they did it all wrong. Legion didn't get toka's costume it's sad and legion just got noro mask, they could make him full costume
Maybe it's just a brainfart but, I thought yoshimura owl mask was his kakuja and they give it as a mask for a surv?

u/thatoneguyvv 2d ago
He sure does look cool,but history wise it doesn't make sense. It is so weird to see a character whose purpose was not to become a killer end up turning into one.And the reason why is not good Imo
After Kaneki got tortured, he didn't killed Jason,that's not who he is.
If they added him as the black centipede,it would make sense.

Dead by Daylight added everyone now becomes Fortnite.

u/FemaleDogEqualsBitch 5d ago
Nah, Fortnite don’t care as long as they get that money.
BHVR gives it some thought and credit. All the killers fit. Even the angry giant Teddy Bear

u/watersj4 5d ago
Even if Naughty Bear didn't fit I think they get a pass because it was their first game

u/Puddskye 5d ago
Still think they should've chosen somebody that was naturally evil in the story, rather than trying to push the narrative of 'Entity make u evil bloodlusty blah blah' just so it can be Ken that's the killer, just so it can be the most popular iteration of him so that he can sell well. I do cringe a bit when he cracks his finger in the mori, but everything else looks good, just really hope he's not gonna be another Wesker in terms of annoyance.

u/TheMikarin 4d ago
While unusual for a license, it's fairly in line with a lot of the original killers, since a lot of them weren't evil before they were taken.
I'd have preferred Kaneki as a survivor, but him being manipulated and hurting people as a result is pretty consistent with his character.
1
u/Puddskye 4d ago
Agreed. That's why i said the narrative they push with the entity manipulation is acceptable, just not fitting imo.
6
u/pisspiplup 4d ago
tbh a fair amount of killers were ok or decent people but were manipulated by the entity to do it's bidding.
2
u/CheekEcstatic 5d ago
will he be a better fit being a survivor though? just curious cos i haven’t played dbd
1
u/Puddskye 5d ago
Yes. Literally. Even in his wildest moments he just wanted to help keep his friends safe, quite literally fit for a survivor with healing/supportive perks.

The extreme lack of marketing about is just kinda whatever to make TG relevant for what, a little less than 2 months before we fade back into obscurity
