Huh, i see..

Well, i just heard that i've got some time to spare, so i'll share it either way:

Aside of the grand theme of their series, namely humanity's struggle against the titular creatures with greatly enhanced physical abilities and healing factors that allow them to regenerate entire limbs at a rapid pace, these two dark fantasy manga protagonists had their lives ruined after coming into contact with these creatures, which, in a sense of irony, ended with becoming half-Ghoul/Titan respectively. Both of them possessed a keen hatred for these creatures and a fierce desire to protect those around them, mostly fueled by the loss of their mother, albeit they have opposing superficial traits (as Kaneki is emotionally withdrawn and extremely passive, while Eren is extremely agressive and not afraid to show his desires). Both of them weren't really powerful at first, but that all changed when they unwillingly gained the power of the very creatures they hate with a burning passion, gaining most of the benefits that come with them, but also the psychological issues and natural instincts that they try to suppress (however, they did pick up a few things about swordsmanship and martial arts, as to be able to fight to protect their friends if need be). Both of them come from a special breed of Ghouls/Titans, with Kaneki being a One-Eyed Ghoul, and Eren being a Titan Shifter, which they aren't hesitant to use in battle, and tend to lose a limb or two every so often (atleast when Eren is in his Titan Form), though this isn't really an issue due to their accelerated healing and sheer ruthlessness as well as apparent lack of concern for their own health,thus allowing them to tear through hordes of enemies. In a small contrast, Kaneki basically fights against what could be considered the Survey Corps of Tokyo Ghoul, which Eren works for.
