The seventy-second chapter of Tokyo Ghoul:re has Haise take Arima head-on so the others can flee Cochlea, as Ayato's group reunites with Hinami and heads for the compactor room to force an exit.
Summary
Having pulled Renji Yomo out of danger, Haise Sasaki squares off against Kishou Arima, while Kazuichi Banjou and the Gas Masks link up with Ayato Kirishima's group. Arima casts aside the battered Narukami and comes at Haise with IXA, which Haise manages to block. He shouts for Ayato to lead everyone toward the exit, and before departing, Touka Kirishima tells him she will see him again later, though Haise privately doubts a second meeting will ever happen.
Ayato's group meets back up with Hinami Fueguchi, whom Touka greets by pinching her cheeks. Ayato explains that their route runs through the Disposal Compactor Room, where they intend to shut down the compactors and slip out through the outlet. Back at the standoff, Haise sheds his coat and lets his kagune loose, declaring that he will throw himself against Arima to win his allies the time they need to escape.
