The seventeenth chapter of Tokyo Ghoul sees a masked Touka ambush Amon's dinner party to avenge Ryouko, only for Mado to school her in the weaknesses of Ukaku ghouls and beat her down before she barely escapes.
Summary
Mado announces the hunt for case 745, meaning Ryouko's daughter Hinami, and boasts that the whole Commission of Counter Ghoul will soon share in the coming victory. That evening Amon, Kusaba, and Nakajima head out to eat, trading talk about case 696 and academy law, comparing the late Ryouko to the Binge Eater, Rize, and weighing how far to pursue the Gourmet. Kusaba voices his admiration for Amon just before his face is suddenly slashed open, and Nakajima spots a girl wearing a rabbit mask.
Key Events
As Touka moves to strike Nakajima, Amon steps in front, judging from her bearing that she is a ghoul. When she extends her kagune, he identifies it as an Ukaku of the instantaneous kind and admits a direct hit from its claws would kill him. Mado intervenes, telling Amon to keep calm and turning the fight into a lesson on wielding a quinque. Impressed by her dodging, Mado links her skill to Asaki, Ryouko's husband, and explains that Ukaku ghouls lose their edge once their speed is stripped away, since their stamina fails in a drawn-out fight.
