Summary

Touka Kirishima's kagune begins firing projectiles that hammer Tsukiyama to the floor, and Kaneki marvels at the force behind them. Rather than fear, the Gourmet reacts with unsettling delight at this new side of her, declaring he cannot pardon her for having eaten Kaneki's flesh.

His kagune reshapes into a blade as he threatens to tear out her insides. Touka meets the strike, then breaks his kagune apart entirely. Weakened but unbroken, Tsukiyama swears he cannot be stopped and starts toward Kimi Nishino, only for an irritated Nishiki Nishio to seize his tie and hold him back.
