Chapter 29

Kureo Mado's funeral is conducted at the 1st Ward headquarters of the Commission of Counter Ghoul. Itsuki Marude dismisses the dead man as nothing more than a quinque fanatic, and Kishou Arima rebukes him for speaking ill of the deceased. Taishi Fura then breaks in with news that a ghoul suspect has begun to move, so there is no time left for grieving and they must deploy at once.

Koutarou Amon slips into a memory of first meeting Mado, whom colleagues had branded a strange old maniac for quinques. His hollow cheeks had reminded Amon of a corpse. On their first shared assignment, the two called on Kie Muramatsu, an elderly woman suspected of being a ghoul. Working from a medical certificate, Mado quickly weighed whether she qualified, and when it seemed she might not, he apologized for doubting her. On leaving, however, he proposed setting a trap, still unconvinced, and waved off Amon's objections as the words of a rookie.

Amon storms off, only to cross paths with Muramatsu while heading for the stakeout, straining under a heavy suitcase. Noticing blood leaking from it, he confronts her and she attacks. Mado appears without warning, overpowers her, and suggests turning her into a quinque. Later, Yukinori Shinohara approaches Amon and gently ribs him for crying over Mado, adding that the old investigator had been proud of him.

Mado's funeral is cut short when a ghoul suspect starts moving, forcing the senior investigators to deploy. A flashback shows Amon and Mado's first assignment together, where Mado's instincts about the ghoul Kie Muramatsu prove correct and save Amon's life. Shinohara reveals that Mado had been proud of his young partner.

Simply titled Mado after the fallen investigator, this twenty-ninth chapter published on April 26, 2012, in the third volume. It introduces several senior CCG figures, including Kishou Arima, Itsuki Marude, and Yukinori Shinohara, at Mado's funeral.
