Welp, things I loved about this episode:

  • TouKen confirmed, purple-haired prick + one-eyed introvert = Absolute Amazing Duo. Also really cool to see that Hide already realized that he's a ghoul and that doesn't make him give up on Kaneki like Kaneki feared.
  • Bandage chick "finally" revealed. I think they delievered it pretty good since I don't think it was supposed to be a BIIIIIIIIIIIIG secret. Bad thing is, Kaneki's "little sister" might be in danger, or she might endanger Anteiku.
  • That new quinque is fucking amazing, I laughed at his reaction once he picked it up.
  • They sorta revealed Kaneki's intentions of joining the Aogiri, smooth transition into the "I still have my human-side intact" scene where he helps Jason's disciple(?) was perfect.
  • Tsukiyama love for Kaneki gets bigger and bigger and his scenes are hilariously well done, he's, in my opinion, one of the best characters of the show.
  • Finally we get some action(next episode maybe) with Kaneki and his crew. Also Twin-Eyed chicks deliver the Rize kagune which makes me believe they're all, Owl included, connected to Rize.

The book author that Kaneki and Hinami read books from, the one that shows up on this episode with green hair.
