Summary

Kaneki and Furuta trade blows while arguing over the events of past years and their clashing views of the world and the people in it. Elsewhere the CCG and Goat beat back the remaining foes and monsters, reinforced by fighters who had once rejected the peace between ghouls and humans: Takizawa, the White Suits, Kurona, and even Matsuri, long presumed missing. The added strength lets the alliance overwhelm the enemy and seize victory.

Kaneki finally overcomes Furuta, telling him that even with all the misfortune stemming from his meeting with Rize, he would walk the same road again because it showed him who he truly is. Once Furuta breathes his last, Kaneki reaches the Dragon's core and learns that Rize's body powers it; freeing her ends the battle. Six years on, Tokyo has returned to normal, with humans and ghouls coexisting in peace, and Hide and the others visit Kaneki, Touka, and their baby daughter over a well-brewed cup of coffee.

Notes

This is the sole episode in the whole series without a title, referred to only by its chronological number. It adapts the final run of Tokyo Ghoul:re chapters. Manga differences include Eto not regenerating her head to mock Kaiko and V, a stronger kakuja for Furuta capable of shattering Kaneki's cross-shaped blades, and the cutting of Furuta's family hallucination with Rize. In the epilogue, not every character appears, Yusa's hair stays its original color, and the Dragon Orphans are absent.
