Encounters, Confusions: MovE

Kaneki comes to inside Touka's cafe and is welcomed back. Ghouls from across the wards, Aogiri fighters, and a group of inspectors whom Arima had tasked with guarding Kaneki all assemble together. He lays out his vision for a new anti-human organization called Goat, meant to offer ghouls a future built on dialogue with humanity rather than endless killing. Kurona and the White Suits reject the idea and walk away, while the others commit to the cause. Renji Yomo and Take Hirako speak about Arima's passing until word arrives of an attack on CCG headquarters.

As Banjou, Nishiki and Takizawa struggle to treat Akira's injuries, Nico appears, drawn by a fragment of Roma's kagune, and warns that only a genuine doctor can save her. Kaneki is then challenged by Naki, who still blames him for Yamori's death; Naki loses the bout and chooses to serve Goat instead. Alongside Nishiki and Tsukiyama, Kaneki meets Ogura of the Great Wheel Act, a human group friendly to ghouls that agrees to sign on. Once Akira wakes, Amon returns her cat to her after a searching rooftop talk with Kaneki. Touka then takes Akira on a walk, admits she killed her father, and gently argues that ghouls and humans are far more alike than either side believes.

Kaneki formally founds Goat and rallies ghouls, Aogiri members, and Arima's inspectors to it. Kurona and the White Suits refuse and depart. Nico arrives and states that Akira needs a real physician. Naki duels Kaneki, loses, and pledges himself to the group. Ogura's Great Wheel Act joins as human allies. Touka reconciles with Akira by confessing to her father's death and appealing to their shared humanity.

The title puns on "remove." Its story is assembled from a run of Tokyo Ghoul:re chapters. Adaptation choices differ from the manga: Kaneki's flashback omits him masking as the One-Eyed King, transforming his kagune, or declaring the title; Kaya Irimi and Enji Koma are absent; Tsukiyama is missing from the brief Naki fight; and the Ogura meeting relocates from a karaoke parlor to a hidden part of the 24th ward. The Akira and Hinami reconciliation draws inspiration from the real reconciliation of a Vietnamese family with veteran Richard Luttrell.
