The 129th chapter of Tokyo Ghoul spreads the Anteiku raid across several fronts, with CCG squads repositioning and the ghoul defenders trading blows against seasoned investigators. It closes on a dramatic entrance as Juuzou Suzuya crashes into the One-Eyed Owl.
Summary
Katsuya Mabuchi studies the balance of strength between the two sides and shifts the CCG squads to match it, keeping the safety of nearby civilians as his first concern. Mougan Tanakamaru swings Higher Mind at Enji Koma but connects with nothing, drawing a scornful remark from Koma about his loud outbursts as the ghoul readies a counter.
Kaya Irimi weaves around Chuu Hachikawa's assault, but the instant she moves to retaliate, Take Hirako drives Yukimura 1/3 into her right shoulder. Koutarou Amon carves through Apes at the head of Squad 4, while Squad 1, formed by Akira Mado, Seidou Takizawa, and Misato Gori, fights the creatures close by.
Houji, Shinohara, and Kuroiwa strike the One-Eyed Owl together, yet it recovers and turns the tide against the Special Classes. Shinohara stays sure of victory. Without warning, Juuzou Suzuya roars in on Itsuki Marude's motorcycle with Koori Ui, leaping off to slam the Owl as the bike smashes down and bursts into flame.

Take Hirako wounds Irimi's shoulder with Yukimura 1/3. Amon and Squad 1 cut down waves of Apes. The three Special Classes gang up on the Owl but are overwhelmed, and Juuzou arrives at the last moment to strike it while Marude's motorcycle explodes.
