:re Chapter 75

Furuta jeers at the ghouls as he and a group of V agents watch the compactors crush their targets. Mid-sentence, Eto tears through the machine in her kakuja form, stopping it cold, then begins tearing apart the V agents around her and turning her threats on Furuta. Seizing the chaos, Ayato Kirishima urges his group to keep pressing toward the way out.

As the melee spreads, Arima charges Kaneki and the two collide. Kaneki wraps his kagune around Arima's quinque, but Arima lets the weapon go to break free of his grip, then catches Kaneki off guard with a trap that spears him through the abdomen. When Kaneki falls, Arima begins shearing off his limbs each time they grow back. Slipping toward unconsciousness and ready to surrender to death, Kaneki instead sees Hideyoshi Nagachika appear inside his mind, scolding his self-destructive streak. Hide voices his fear that their friends may not survive and insists Kaneki has to keep fighting. Kaneki confesses how lonely he has felt without him, and Hide answers that he will say it as many times as it takes: live, even if living is not stylish.

Eto breaks out of the compactor in kakuja form, halting the machinery and slaughtering the V agents while threatening Furuta. Ayato pushes his group onward toward the exit. Arima runs Kaneki through and repeatedly severs his regenerating limbs. A vision of Hide inside Kaneki's mind refuses to let him give up, urging him to survive and keep fighting.

The chapter carries the Japanese title Kの卵, romanized as Kei no Tamago and translated as K's Egg. It ran in issue 2016-24 on May 12, 2016, and was later collected in the seventh volume of Tokyo Ghoul:re, positioned between chapters 74 and 76. The suicide that Hide alludes to is thought to reference the Japanese author Osamu Dazai.
