Summary

With his awareness restored, Haise Sasaki reacts in an instant, severing one of Kanae von Rosewald's arms with a single strike. As the wounded ghoul sinks to his knees, the investigator threads a steel bar through one of his eyes using his kagune. The pain drives Kanae into a frenzy, yet his wild counter never lands, and Haise runs him through from behind to end the fight.

Uncertain, Tsukiyama asks whether the figure before him is truly Kaneki. Confirming it, Kaneki thanks the Gourmet for dragging him back to himself, then wounds him with a blade before fixing his attention on Eto.

Some distance away, Shirazu keeps loosing his projectiles at Noro, knowing that any pause would doom the people dear to him and leave his sister alone. His breath running out and his frames starting to crack, he barrels head-on into the towering ghoul, firing until his kakuhou tears free of its surrounding structure. Judging that he has done enough, he signals for Urie to close in, only to be impaled by Noro.

Pleading for Shirazu to hold on, Urie rushes the enormous ghoul and cuts its head clean off.
