Chapter 58

Kaneki fights a Bin brother alone and manages to bring him down, only for the second brother to arrive. Before that clash can begin, Yamori appears dragging Kei and Usu and clutching the severed heads of Moku and Tetsu, while Nico follows carrying Kouto. A badly wounded Usu apologizes to the shaken Banjou, explaining that they were ambushed.

Yamori proposes a trade: he will let Banjou's group live if Kaneki agrees to serve as his subordinate. Kaneki hesitates, certain the offer is a lie, so Yamori threatens to kill Kei on the spot. The cruelty disgusts the Bin brothers, but once Nico shrugs that Yamori's disloyalty to Aogiri hardly matters, they lose interest and depart. Yamori presses again, asking whether Kaneki will come to save his companions. Despite Banjou's pleas, Kaneki chooses to go, and a satisfied Yamori promises he treats his subordinates well before quietly telling Nico to lock the rest of Banjou's group in his isolation cell.

At Anteiku, Touka sits anxious for Kaneki during a meeting, where Yoshimura states his belief that they will hear nothing more from the young man.

Yamori ambushes the escapees, killing several and taking the rest hostage. He forces Kaneki to choose between his friends and his freedom, and Kaneki surrenders himself to become Yamori's captive. The Bin brothers abandon the scene over Yamori's methods. At Anteiku, Yoshimura tells the others to expect no further word from Kaneki.

Carrying the title 歪笑 (Waisho), this final Volume 6 chapter published in issue 2013-01 on December 6, 2012, between Chapters 57 and 59. Kaneki's decision here delivers him straight into the torture that will remake him.
