Hide is finally back, and he’s playing an important role for the plot by being a big factor in the CCG and the ghouls collaboration to defeat the dragon and save Kaneki.

 It was really warming to see the members of the Goat stand up for Kaneki, especially reading Shu’s speech reminding everyone of Kaneki’s true intentions which is a peaceful existence between humans and ghouls. And i feel like they are closer to achieving it now that the investigators and ghouls have cast their feuds aside (if possibly momentarily) in order to fight together. Kaneki turning into a Kakuja really gave the sides a common target to bring them together, and it will most likely grow some trust between them (or so i hope). 

Mutsuki was really stressing me out in this volume, and I’m a little disappointed over where Sui Ishida is taking his character. I was very intrigued when his past was revealed, but now I wish Mutsuki’s character weren’t so revolved around Kaneki because it’s becoming too frustrating. 

However, I think this volume had some of the coolest panels! They were so dark and detailed, I especially loved the panels of dragon Kaneki and the city.
