The 127th chapter of Tokyo Ghoul opens the raid on Anteiku in full, with the ghoul defenders clashing against advancing investigators across the 20th ward. Enji Koma, Kaya Irimi, and the One-Eyed Owl each hold their ground as the CCG brings quinque and Arata armor to bear.
Summary
As the assault on Anteiku unfolds, Enji Koma commands the Apes in a push against the invading investigators. The advance falters when Mougan Tanakamaru unleashes Higher Mind, a strike that cuts down several of the ghoul fighters at once.
Elsewhere in the fighting, Kaya Irimi directs the Black Dobers and squares off personally against Chuu Hachikawa. The One-Eyed Owl, meanwhile, tears through a swath of CCG personnel until Kousuke Houji lands a blow on its shoulder with Hollow, cutting off its ability to fling shards or wield its blade. Seizing the opening, Yukinori Shinohara and Iwao Kuroiwa power up their Arata armor and bring out their quinques.
Key Events
Mougan Tanakamaru's Higher Mind kills several Apes in a single strike. Houji wounds the Owl's shoulder to neutralize both its ranged and melee options, and Shinohara and Kuroiwa deploy Arata armor alongside their quinques to press the attack.
