:re Chapter 137

Having gulped down Urie and pinned Iwao Kuroiwa, Roma revels in her win and asks Kichimura Washuu what she may eat. He offers Kuroiwa as a special-class dish. Before she can, Urie frames out and tears free from inside her kakuja, pulling Kuroiwa to safety and checking his injuries while fighting to master himself. Roma and Shikorae fall on him together, slamming him into a wall and raining down strikes, but every blow glances off a kagune shield he has just formed.

Urie turns the tide, wielding blade and shield to batter the pair, launching Shikorae through a window and taking Roma's head. He then savages her skull to be certain she is finished for good. Kneeling beside Kuroiwa, he tends the veteran's wounds as the older man weeps, apologizing for failing to protect Urie's father from the one-eyed Owl and blaming himself for the death.

Urie insists Kuroiwa bears no guilt, privately confessing that his own weakness that day had made him need someone to blame. Their reconciliation lets Kuroiwa tell Urie he is the image of his father, but the peace lasts only a moment. Kichimura suddenly runs a katana through Kuroiwa's throat, killing him, and Urie screams in grief. As the bureau chief gleefully turns toward Urie, a shot from an unseen attacker strikes him in the head.

The chapter いざなぎ (Izanagi) is the one hundred thirty-seventh of Tokyo Ghoul:re, released in issue 2017-39 on August 24, 2017. A small visual gag has Kichimura reading the manga Gintama, and the installment closes on a cliffhanger with the identity of his attacker left unrevealed.
