<p>Just like the original anime Tokyo Ghoul:re is skipping a lot of exposition. They never explained how Ken Kaneki lost his memory. They will explain everything through flashbacks.  </p>

<p>Can anyone confirm or deny if <em>Tokyo Ghoul:re</em>, the 3rd season of the anime is canon or not? It seems like a major step after the events of the first and second seasons so I'm pretty darn bewildered by all the new characters</p>
