:re Chapter 158

The apparition of Rize walks across the river toward a stunned Kaneki. He asks why she has come and challenges her calling him a murderer, insisting in horror that he only meant to save his friends. Laughing, Rize needles him, claiming their plight stems entirely from their ties to him. She presses him on what he truly intended to accomplish, and Kaneki answers that he would have solved the food crisis, rebuilt his shattered ranks, and defeated Furuta.

Rize scoffs and brands him a dictator for compelling humans and ghouls into dialogue. She shows him Goat's base collapsed by his own hand, and when he refuses to believe it, she makes him touch her, forcing him to witness the deaths of those he killed. Sweating and weeping, Kaneki reels. Rize asks whether their goal, to shield everyone and build a world where humans and ghouls live side by side, was ever real, insisting that people died precisely because he chose to act and that he should have done nothing at all. Her form warps as she cruelly torments the sobbing Kaneki, telling him it would have been better had he never stirred from the start, then asking whether this outcome is what he truly wanted.

The Japanese title Ze is given in English as Right. The chapter deepens Kaneki's internal reckoning, staging Rize as a self-accusing voice that confronts him with the human cost of his choices. It was published on February 1, 2018 in Issue 2018-09 as part of Volume 15.
