[Hachikawa Side]
Hachikawa’s nose gets bitten off by Shikorae with a CRACK sound.
Hachikawa: Sh… Shit…!!
Hachikawa presses a hand onto his nose while blood is flowing thru his fingers.
Shikorae: Tastes bad.
And Shikorae spits onto the ground. It was Hachikawa’s nose.
Mutsuki has a startled expression.
Seeing that, Ayumu goes towards Shikorae and waves her weapon around. But Shikorae just dodges. Ayumu continues to attack and Shikorae jumps into the air. Hachikawa wears his Quinque (it’s the old one) around his right arm.
Hachikawa: Get down, Ayumu!!
Hachikawa aims and shoots bullets towards Shikorae.
Hachikawa: You shitty ‘ghoul’!! My nose isn’t your snack!!
Though it may seem that Shikorae was leaping towards his death, Seidou shields him using his kagune.
Takizawa: Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Hachikawa: Don’t get in the way, Shittyzawa.
Takizawa: Hachikawa-shaan~ You’re more manly without your nose!!
Takizawa rushes in from the air.
Hachikawa: You dabo!! (no idea what dabo means;
Hachikawa was planning on guarding but his Quinque gets destroyed.
Hachikawa: Ugh!!
Hachikawa: (The Quinque!!)
At the next moment, he gets pierced from the back and into the air by Shikorae’s kagune.
Hachikawa: Ack…
Hogi: …!!
Hachikawa: Hah… Agh…
Hogi: Hachiiiiiii!!!!!
Shikorae hurls Hachikawa onto the ground and Hachikawa dies.
Shikorae: Rororon, ron.
Hogi: Hachi!!
Hogi tries to go to where Hachikawa is but Mutsuki stops her.
Mutsuki: Hogi-san!
Shikorae: Will make it painful!
Shikorae shoots out projectiles from his kagune. Mutsuki tries to shield and flick them away using his kagune. He gets a hold of Hogi and runs towards the cliff.
Mutsuki: I’ll jump…!!
Mutsuki jumps off from the cliff and into the sea. Takizawa and Shikorae looks at the sea.
Takizawa: Want to eat Hachikawa?
Shikorae: Agreed.
[Mutsuki’s Side]
Mutsuki and Ayumu are in a cave in the seafront of Rue island. Mutsuki is bandaging Hogi’s arm as it got injured from one of Shikorae’s projectiles.
Mutsuki: It’s just simple first-aid but…
Hogi: Thank you, Tooru.
Mutsuki: Since we’ve confirmed the island to be Aogiri’s Tree’s HQ, all we need to do is go back.
Hogi: …
Mutsuki: …Hachikawa-san… I believe that he’s praiseworthy.
Hogi: …A long time ago… in the investigation team that handled the operation for sweeping the Black Dobers…
Hogi: In order to save one civillian, everyone else save for one person got killed in line of duty.
Hogi: …That team was the one Hachi was in. And from then, Hachi’s personality was said to have changed.
Hogi: Hachi… He had a foul mouth, was greedy, and had the worst reputation but…
Hogi: Even so, I like him.
Ayumu sheds a tear.
[Hogi’s Flashback]
Hachikawa: You don’t like your 'freckled face’…? And because of that you made your head look like a broom.
Hachikawa: …Geez, you idiot.
Hachikawa: Look at this.
Hachikawa reveals his face and there is a large wound on his mouth.
Hachikawa: Are you saying that you’d rather have a face covered in shit rather than freckles, huh?!
[End of Flashback]
Hogi: No matter what kind of human you’re dealing with, for as long as you’ve made even just one good memory with them, it’s difficult to hate them.
Mutsuki: (Even just one good memory…)
Mutsuki remembers about Sasaki.
Mutsuki: I…
Mutsuki closes his eyes.
Mutsuki: (That person who seemed to be someone else… I wonder where they’re headed to…)
Mutsuki: I… kind of understand what you mean, Hogi-san.
When Mutsuki opens his eyes, Torso is there and has a hold of Hogi’s hair.
Torso: Hey…
Torso violently hurls Hogi onto the wall while grabbing her hair.
Mutsuki: Hogi-san!!
As Hogi was coughing up blood, Torso throws her into the water.
Mutsuki: Tor…
Torso grips around Mutsuki’s neck.
Mutsuki: so…!!
Torso: Tooru!! So you came here to see me?
[Arima’s Side]
Arima, Furuta and Kaiko are seen conversing in a big room with a huge 'V’ written on the floor.
Kaiko: So the young boy (Kaneki Ken) seems to have caught the 'One-Eyed Owl’.
Kaiko: …What do you two think? Is Takatsuki the 'King’?
Arima: There is a high possibility.
Furuta: Right-same.
Kaiko: Nimura. Did you not learn how to talk in the 'Sunlit Garden’?
Furuta: I wonder how it was. How about you Kaiko-san?
Kaiko: Shut up.
Furuta: (You have quite the bad mouth yourself.)
Kaiko: …For as long as the Owl is within the hands of the CCG, it is as good as a bird in a cage. However, she is Kuzen’s daughter, don’t let down your guard.
Kaiko: …And Rize.
Kaiko: I don’t want to bother with it being able to walk about with 'that’. (i honestly can’t comprehend)
Kaiko: I will leave that to Kishou.
Arima: Yes.
Kaiko: Nimura will keep watch on Kaneki Ken and Kuzen’s daughter.
Kaiko: …But in the end, Kuzen died in vain.
[Sasaki’s Side]
Sasaki and Eto are walking around town and it seems Eto got her hair cut.
Sasaki: …Looks like… you’ve cut your hair.
Eto: Yes, yes. This is my first time to get it cut while being accompanied by an investigator.
Eto: But this is fine. It’s refreshing right before a 'big job’.
Eto: How is it? How is it?
Sasaki: It suits you.
Eto: Hoho! Just like a mature woman?!
Sasaki: Yes, very.
Eto: Aahaha, how pleasant!
Eto: By the way, I have a favor.
Sasaki: …To me?
Eto: Yes.
Eto: In order to accommodate the editorial section and the countermeasures bureau, it has been decided that a conference will be held regarding Takatsuki’s 'last work’.
Eto: Investigator Sasaki, will you please attend for me?
Sasaki: …
Eto: Don’t be so vigilant. Besides, monitoring is necessary right? I want you to see with your own eyes. (more like, i want you to ascertain or make sure of it yourself)
[TV live broadcast]
There are panels showing who are watching the broadcast.
Touka and Yomo in :re.
Urie and the rest in the Chateau.
Ayato, Naki, Miza, Hooguro, Shousei are also watching. (Miza is looking at Naki.)
It seems that Tatara and Shachi are also listening.
Eto’s live broadcast is been shown on a large monitor in the middle of the town.
And as for Hinami in Cochlea…
Cochlea guard: Rejoice, Fueguchi. Your extermination date has been decided.
[Eto’s Side]
Eto is on a stage in a live press conference. Sasaki is right beside her.
Eto: …I believe the last time I spoke to a large audience like this was during 'Black Goat’s Egg’.
She gives an intro about the new work she’s working on but before that she talks about herself.
Eto: I am a Ghoul.
Sasaki widens his eyes at those words.
Eto: I wrote my 'last work’ for the lonely brethren who were 'mistakenly born’ into this world devouring flesh and blood just like myself.
