The latest live-action series from Marvel Studios, Moon Knight, premiered on March 30, and is airing every Wednesday at 16:00 on the Disney+ streaming service. The main character, portrayed by Oscar Isaac, is one of the darkest and most mysterious heroes in the history of the MCU, suffering from dissociative identity disorder. Tokyo Ghoul creator Sui Ishida decided to surprise fans by releasing a crossover image to celebrate the start of the series and highlight the similarities between the two main characters, Moon Knight and Ken Kaneki. The tagline of the illustration translates to "Clad in white madness," and shows Kaneki with his pale white hair and a red background beside Moon Knight in pure white with a dark black background. Moon Knight protagonist Steven Grant is a kindhearted man who works in the gift store of the National Museum in London. He constantly suffers from blackouts and only remembers terrifying snippets of a former life. Eventually, he becomes the avatar for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Tokyo Ghoul has become one of the most popular manga series in Japan, with over 47 million copies in print as of January 2021. The series takes place in an alternate reality where ghouls, creatures who seem like humans but feed on human flesh, live among the general population in secret. After the main character Ken Kaneki receives an organ transplant from a ghoul, he becomes half-ghoul himself and must learn how to survive. Ishida highlighted the similarities between Moon Knight's Steven and Tokyo Ghoul's Ken, saying that they both have a lot of knowledge of what they're interested in and have their own dreams, but feel hopeless. Both are also mild-mannered, introverted, and invested in not becoming complete monsters. Ishida commented that Moon Knight might be his favorite Marvel superhero of all time. The manga artist praised the new show's fast-paced action, the gray morality in its violence, and the comical sadness of its protagonist. “I saw Oscar Isaac in Star Wars, and I’m wondering what kind of hero he’ll become in Moon Knight,” Ishida said. “I’m really looking forward to it!” Are you tuning into Moon Knight on Disney+?
