:re Chapter 81

Kurona explains that she absorbed Nashiro into her own body through her kagune, uniting them, because Kanou would not save her sister. Asked by Juuzou why she came to Rushima, she says she is hunting for Kanou to have him treat Nashiro. Juuzou doubts the doctor can do anything, and Kurona rants about how she will still save her sister as her multi-eyed kakuja mask spreads across her face.

Mizurou Tamaki and Miyuki Mikage ready themselves to fight while Keijin Nakarai tends Hanbee's injuries. Hanbee apologizes for failing to kill Kurona, but Keijin notes no one expected him to put down an SS-rated ghoul and credits him for holding her back. Miyuki strikes Kurona's right shoulder as Mizurou comes from the left; when she staggers, Juuzou lunges with 13's Jason, only for Kurona to snap his quinque and drive it through his chest.

At Cochlea, reinforcements under Kiyoko Aura and Mougan Tanakamaru are assigned to stop the ghouls from breaking out, and their leader sends the others below to where Arima fights on his own. Arima parries Kaneki's strike with Owl, but Kaneki, realizing ordinary blows will fail, weaves a kagune net to trap him. Arima springs clear only to be ringed by more kagune, which he slashes apart; turning toward a noise, he cuts what he thinks is a threat and finds it is one of Kaneki's tentacles crowing victory. In that opening Kaneki lands a hit, and though Arima blocks it, Owl is destroyed.

Kurona reveals she merged with Nashiro via her kagune after Kanou refused to help. She impales Juuzou through the chest with his own broken quinque. At Cochlea, Kaneki uses a kagune net to bait Arima and ultimately destroys the Owl quinque.

The chapter confirms the fate of the Yasuhisa twins, with Nashiro consumed into Kurona's body. The loss of Owl marks a decisive shift in the long duel between Kaneki and Arima at Cochlea.
