Anti-Aogiri

Anti-Aogiri came together as a small resistance cell of ghouls determined to slip out of Aogiri Tree's grasp. It formed after Ken Kaneki was seized by the organization, when Banjou brought him into a secret planning meeting. Convinced that he and his companions had lost all value in Aogiri's eyes and would soon be disposed of, Banjou set out to help them flee the 11th Ward base before that could happen.

The group timed its escape for a night when Aogiri's most dangerous figures, Noro, Ayato Kirishima, and Yamori, were meant to be away. The attempt fell apart when a scout spotted them and summoned the Bin brothers; Banjou, Kaneki, and a few others stayed back to hold them off while the rest ran. Yamori, tipped off in advance after Nico overheard the plan, ambushed the fleeing members and killed Moku and Tetsu. To spare the survivors, Kaneki agreed to serve Yamori, a bargain Yamori promptly betrayed by imprisoning the others and murdering Kei and Kouto during his torture of Kaneki. The cell effectively dissolved once Kaneki defeated Yamori and freed the remaining prisoners.

Banjou headed the group, whose members, apart from Kaneki, were all former residents of the 11th Ward who had followed him back when he ruled the district. After Kaneki brought Yamori down and released Banjou, Ichimi, Jiro, Sante, and Usu, the core survivors folded into Kaneki's own group, while the wounded Usu escaped to an unknown fate. Several others, including Kei, Kouto, Moku, and Tetsu, did not survive the ordeal.
