The stage is now set for Kaneki's group, Aogiri Tree, and the CCG to meet each other at Kanou's summer mansion. Continuing his search for Akihiro Kanou, Kaneki's group (Tsukiyama, Banjou, and the gas mask siblings), as well as Madam A, arrive at the doctor's summer mansion. Upon investigation, they stumble upon a hidden cell wall made of kagune, and decide to walk beyond it; entering into Kanou's hidden laboratory. Walking through the hidden facility, Kaneki's group is stalled by the One-Eye sisters, Nashiro and Kurona, but Kaneki orders his gang to deal with them as he pushes forward through the lab on his own. Tsukiyama battles the One-Eye sisters in Kaneki's place, but is interrupted by Naki's group who have Eto alongside them. Kaneki's solo journey would then end up reaching a dead-end, but is greeted by Shachi who charges against Kaneki for another duel. Fights take place in the facility as Tsukiyama takes on Naki, the One-Eye sisters fight Eto, and Kaneki takes on Shachi. Dodging the attacks from the One-Eye sisters, Eto reveals Nashiro and Kurona's tragic story to them, and calls out the two for following along with Kanou's plan where the two believe that their papa was truly Kanou even though their real parents have been long dead. This causes Nashiro and Kurona to break-down in denial, and while Banjou was seen witnessing their fight, Eto catches him off-guard, and pulls out Banjou's bones. Fighting against Shachi, the SS-ranked ghoul eventually uses a major attack against Kaneki that forces the two into a room below them. Here, the two realize that they have landed in Kanou's primary lab where the doctor's been conducting experiments with Rize, and greets the two ghouls for their arrival. Shachi watches on as Kanou congratulates Kaneki for making it this far on his own strength. Revealing that Yoshimura was the true creator of Aogiri Tree, Kanou offers Kaneki a chance to team up with him to one day show the truth of this flawed world to the boy. However, before Kaneki could give his answer, Yomo shows up to break the machine holding Rize captive, and escapes with her. During his escape, Yomo tells Kaneki to not stray from the path he's chosen, and leaves the boy a warning that the CCG have finally arrived at the mansion. Once Yomo left, Kaneki charges at Kanou, but is stalled by Shachi, who escapes with the doctor at hand; leaving Kaneki to fight with the failed experiments Kanou left behind. At this point, the CCG have entered the facility, and break off into three groups. Suzuya goes off on his own, and runs into his old classmates, Nashiro and Kurona, who were attempting to escape after the fight with Eto. The second investigator unit led by Amon and Akira come across the room where Naki and Tsukiyama's groups were fighting, and the two ghoul enemies decide that their groups need to team up in order to survive against the CCG. The third unit led by Shinohara stumbles upon the main lab, and witness Kaneki after his kagune had begun to evolve into a Kakujya centipede form upon eating the experiments. Deeming centipede Kaneki a danger to keep alive, Shinohara readies himself for combat, and activates Arata form. Kaneki struggles to control himself remembering his past failures as Shinohara deduces that the ghoul has begun to go crazy. In the meantime, Amon and Akira's unit continue their fight against the newly teamed up Naki and Tsukiyama group while Suzuya fights against the One-Eyed sisters. During the Suzuya fight, Nashiro and Kurona think back to a time when they were CCG Academy classmates with him, and discovered Suzuya to be a monster that doesn't feel anything. Meeting again in the present, they attempt to finish Suzuya off for good, but are beaten down by the investigator to the point of Kurona escaping with a heavily injured Nashiro. In an attempt to end the stalemate, Akira throws an untested gas grenade that affects ghouls, and is able to temporarily immobilize Tsukiyama and Naki's group. However, Naki breaks free, and is able to severely injure Akira; forcing Amon to come to her aid, and provides an opening for the ghouls to escape. At that same moment, the battle between centipede Kaneki and Shinohara rages on. Spliting away from Naki's group, Tsukiyama, and the gas mask siblings, come across the injured Banjou as they all agree that returning to Kaneki was their first priority. Meanwhile, Amon gets a brief glimpse of the One-Eyed sisters escaping as his unit, and the injured Akira, arrive at Shinohara's location. However, upon seeing Shinohara defeated, Amon charges forward as the next to fight Kaneki. The fight between Amon and Kaneki rages on as Suzuya is seen also arriving at the main lab to provide back-up for Amon. They eventually break through to Kaneki where Amon reminds him of their past encounter in which Kaneki showed human traits as a ghoul. As a result, a portion of Kaneki's sanity returns. Kaneki uses this chance to escape the lab as the CCG stay behind to provide aid for Shinohara. Still not fully sane, Kaneki reunites with his gang, but stabs Banjou in the chest when the latter steps forward to help him. Kaneki breaks down upon realizing what he had done, but is stunned to find that Banjou's kagune has finally awakened, and heals the injuries he obtained from Kaneki and Eto. Banjou then informs Kaneki that he is still his shield, and that Kaneki should think about saving himself before trying to help others. At the lab, Shinohara is showen to have survived his fight with Kaneki as Amon berates Suzuya for leaving his partner on his own. Kanou is also revealed to have joined with Aogiri Tree as Kurona appears before him in the hopes that papa will heal Nashiro. However, he informs her that due to the immense damage she's suffered, Nashiro can't be healed. He then exits the lab with Eto and Shachi; leaving Kurona behind to stay with her dying sister. Having returned home, Kaneki was left in a depressed state due to his actions at Kanou's mansion. However he eventually decides that a change of scenery was needed, and takes Hinami along with him to meet the famous writer, Sen Takatsuki, at a signing event. At the signing, Kaneki and Hinami introduce themselves to Takatsuki, who gains an interest on Kaneki. The two leave as Hide also shows up at the signing in the hopes of secretly getting an autograph for Kaneki. Commander Kuroiwa visits a healing Shinohara at the hospital as the two investigators discuss the threat of the Centipede ghoul, and the discovery that there may be two Owl ghouls. At the CCG, Amon's team continues to investigate their 20th Ward cases without Shinohara, and come to the conclusion that following their discoveries at Kanou's mansion, needs much deeper investigation. After work, Amon is finally able to have dinner with Akira, who reveals during a drunk rant that she actually hates Amon for not being there when Kureo died. However, Amon answers her that Kureo's death affected him greatly to the point of wanting to protect those around him, as well as those that were close to Kureo. Amon carries the drunk Akira back to her apartment, and after discovering how lonely she has been without her parents, decides to stick around to take care of her during the night. The next morning, Akira thanks him for his efforts as the two finally begin to form a true bond. Kaneki shows up at Uta's shop hoping for advice related to Yoshimura and Yomo possibly being enemies. Uta answers that despite having nothing on Yoshimura, he will gladly tell of a tale about Yomo's past. Uta tells his story to Kaneki of a time when he used to manage the 4th Ward. Uta reveals that he met, and befriended, a battle hungry Yomo into becoming a part of Uta's gang, and learned of Yomo's motivation of wanting to become strong in order to kill Arima for the death of his older sister. Yomo and Arima eventually do fight, and ends in Yomo's defeat. However, he is saved at the last second by the arrival of Yoshimura as the two disappear from the 4th Ward. Uta explains that Yomo had changed to becoming a lot calmer working under Yoshimura and asks Kaneki what he should be doing now. However, before Kaneki could answer, he states that he will need to talk with Yomo first. Meanwhile, Tsukiyama takes Hinami out to a café for a cup of tea, and informs her that, as the two closest to Kaneki, it is up them to cheer him up. Takatsuki also stops by the cafe during Tsukiyama's bathroom break, and after hearing about Hinami's struggle to help Kaneki, informs Hinami that she can't truly help him the way she is at the moment. At CCG, the 20th Ward investigators are informed that Shinohara is close to returning to them as Seidou and Houji notice that Amon and Akira have gotten much closer to one another. Moments later, Takatsuki arrives at the CCG to reveal information that she gathered about Kanou's facility. In a private chat, she informs Amon of how the facility was actually owned by the CCG, and that the mansion's original owner, Nanao Yasuhisa, was the provider of a ghoul solution that helped the CCG make quinques and such. Learning that Nanao died despite being under CCG protection, Amon at this point begins to question the existence of the CCG; realizing there may be more to the agency than it lets on. Kaneki is next seen arriving at Yomo's place for his side of the story, and comes across Rize, who's been left in a pathetic state of insanity due to ghoul starvation. Kaneki begins to fall apart due to having always relied on Rize's stength to push him forward, but is told by Yomo that everything he's done until this point has been on his own strength. Yomo apologizes for always hiding information from him, and decides to tell him what he knows. At Anteiku, Touka continues to prepare herself for the Kamii University entrance exams as she, and Nishiki, run into Hinami and Tsukiyama on the street. Despite being hostile to Tsukiyama, the Gourmet ghoul calls them out for not being there like he has been to help Kaneki through his pain. Nishiki then brings Touka to Kamii, and lets her tour the school on her own. Walking around Kamii, Touka runs into Hide again, who reveals to her how Kaneki's character came off to him growing up together as friends; that Kaneki has always been lonely, and in pain, due to growing up without any family. Hide also shows Touka the hand-on-chin habit Kaneki developed that shows when he's lying. At CCG, Director Yoshitoki Washuu reveals to his fellow investigators that his investigations have confirmed the existence of two Owl ghouls. In the meantime, Kaneki arrives at Anteiku to confront Yoshimura about the One-Eyed Owl King of Aogiri Tree possibly being the manager's child. Kaneki explains that information from Yomo brought him to this answer, which causes Yoshimura to tell him a tale. Yoshimura explains the story of a ghoul named Kuzen that had fallen in love with a human-girl named Ukina, and produced a child that was part-human and part-ghoul. However, the organization that Kuzen worked for had caught on to their relationship; resulting in Ukina's death, and for the baby to live on its own away from the eyes of the organization. The baby grew up hating the world, and became the original One-Eyed Owl, but in order to continue protecting his child, Kuzen became the second One-Eyed Owl to stir the attention away from his child. Kaneki realizes that Yoshimura was describing a story about himself, and is asked by the manager to continue being the person from both worlds that can help others who lost their way; including his child. Yoshimura also asks Kaneki to finally return to Anteiku. Kaneki leaves Anteiku to think over what to do from now on, but is finally met by Touka for the first time since they parted ways. Kaneki reveals to her that he had been offered to return to Anteiku, but seeing that he still hasn't been truthful to her, and continues to do things on his own, Touka pummels him, and orders Kaneki not to return. Afterwards, Kaneki returns to his hideout where he tells the gang that he wishes to disband the group in order to return to Anteiku. However, he wishes for the gang to follow him as well, which they all decide in doing so. Meanwhile, Touka continues to study for the entrance exams, but regrets that her actions may keep Kaneki from actually returning. At the CCG, Amon offers Akira a key-holder gift, which she accepts, and informs Amon that his improved quinque has been completed. In addition, Director Yoshitoki Washuu joins forces with Commander Marude to lead a team of investigators that will destroy what they discovered to be the hideout of the One-Eyed Owl ghoul; Anteiku Café. During a trip to the zoo, Suzuya thinks back to his time in slavery under the Big Madam ghoul, and remembers of the neverending torture he had to endure. He also remembers back to his time with the CCG of having been rescued, seen as a threat, and raised in the academy to the point of meeting Shinohara. Having been discharged from the hospital, Suzuya is greeted by a fully healed Shinohara, who informs his partner that they will be taking part in the Anteiku operation. The rest of the chosen CCG Investigators prepare for the operation by having to write their final testament to their loved ones. Kuroiwa volunteers himself to join the operation while Seidou is picked to be one of the elected investigators. Despite accepting, Seidou hides from everyone (including his family) that he is certain he will die and completely terrified at the prospect. Hide is also chosen to take part, and agrees to join the operation after being informed by Marude that the raid will be on the location Kaneki had worked previously. After receiving a new quinque from researcher Chigyou, Amon and Akira head over to Kureo's grave where Akira reveals the need to kill Owl for the sake of her dead parents. She tries to show her affection for Amon, but he ends up denying her kiss as the two return to the CCG afterward to join the Anteiku operation. Meanwhile, at a café, Kaneki overhears several off-duty Investigators mention the CCG's preparations to attack Owl in the 20th Ward, and decides to get moving as well. While out walking, Yoshimura is greeted by members of the organization (known as V) that he used to work for during his time as Kuzen. The leader, Kaiko, asks Yoshimura to hand over his One-Eyed Owl child, and to swear loyalty again to V, but are turned away when Yoshimura refuses to submit. Kaiko leaves off stating to Yoshimura that his death is certain as he is still just a bird trapped in a birdcage. Elsewhere, Kaneki is able to get word to Yomo of the CCG's raid on Anteiku, who passes the information on to Yoshimura. He, Koma and Irimi share one last cup of coffee together as the three of them ready themselves for their final fight against the CCG. The CCG raid team, led by Director Yoshitoki Washuu, are greeted at Anteiku's entrance by Koma and Irimi; having returned to their ghoul personas as the Devil Ape (Koma) and the Black Dog (Irimi). The battle between Anteiku, and the CCG, begins as ghoul reinforcements loyal to Anteiku arrive to back up Koma and Irimi. Yoshimura also appears on the battlefield as they begin to kill off the first waves of Investigators. Kaneki is seen elsewhere listening to the news that the 20th Ward has become a restricted warzone. The battles at Anteiku continue as the Devil Ape ends up in a fight with Investigator Tanakamaru while the Black Dog is greeted by Investigator Hachikawa. Shinohara and Kuroiwa (backed up by Houji and Special Class Ui), having activated their Arata quinques, also stand before Yoshimura to finish the fight they started back at the Aogiri Tree Hideout. Watching the battle from a far away rooftop, Kaneki says his goodbyes to his gang; having decided to join the fray to reach Anteiku. Nishiki, Banjou's group, and Hinami, have decided to take the opening they were given by Yoshimura to go into hiding, but Tsukiyama attempts to fight Kaneki to drag him away from a battle he believes that Kaneki won't survive. Kaneki wins, and despite a tearful Tsukiyama begging him not to go, Kaneki claims that he's sick of being useless. Elsewhere, Yomo arrives at Touka's home, and informs her that they will be going into hiding to evade the CCG raid. Despite Touka wishing to go back, Yomo informs her that Yoshimura, Koma and Irimi are fighting so that she can live on, which has Touka coming to accept that her life at Anteiku is over. Returning to the Anteiku fight, Suzuya enters the Owl duel as back-up against Yoshimura, and Hirako's squad arrives to help Hachikawa battle Black Dog. Irimi's fight eventually causes her to suffer an injury to the CCG as she uses her body to shield an old lady civilian from their attack. Hachikawa and Hirako's group take advantage of the injury, and are able to land a decisive blow upon Irimi, but before the Investigators can finish her off, Kaneki arrives on the scene to protect her. Kaneki informs Irimi that he's already rescued Koma from death against Tanakamaru, and is given a rundown by Irimi of her current enemies. Thanks to the information, Kaneki is able to come out the winner over Hirako, and is able to retreat with Irimi to a safe location, who tells Kaneki of a sewer route, V14, that the ghouls can use to escape the 20th Ward. Kaneki next heads for Yoshimura's location, but ends up running into Amon's squad as they arrive. Kaneki's movements gets stalled by Amon as Yoshitoki and Marude get word that the Centipede ghoul has appeared, which catches Hide's attention as well. Kaneki is forced into battling Amon to the point of breaking the Investigator's current quinque, but before Kaneki could continue on, Researcher Chigyou arrives to hand over two new quinques to Amon (one of which is a Kakujya type with Arata form), which he puts to use for another match against Kaneki. Meanwhile, after taking a hit from Special Class Ui to the torso, an exhausted Yoshimura attempts to escape his fight for a brief moment of rest, but is caught off-guard by Suzuya who manages cut off one of the Owl ghoul's arms. In return, Yoshimura cuts off Suzuya's leg, which also takes the boy's ability to fight. Shinohara, who regrets what happened to Suzuya, gets ready to fight Owl with the rest of his CCG team once more. The battle between Kaneki and Amon rages on, but ends with Kaneki cutting off Amon's right arm, which forces the Investigator to the ground. Amon throws his quinque in a last-ditch effort to stop Kaneki, which blows a hole in the ghoul's chest; leaving Kaneki to crawl as he attempts to continue towards Yoshimura. The battle against Yoshimura also comes to a close as Kuroiwa provides an opening by cutting off the Owl's other arm, and Shinohara pulls out a secret quinque developed by Kureo that they use to land the final blow on Yoshimura. Before they could celebrate their victory however, the original One-Eyed ghoul child of Yoshimura appears to protect its father. The second One-Eyed ghoul knocks out Shinohara, Kuroiwa and Houji, which forces Ui to duel the second Owl solo, and calls for reinforcements. Akira, and all other ground Investigators with quinques are ordered to head for the location of the Owl fight to support Ui, but Seidou chooses to go against that order, and runs off to search for Amon. Kaneki manages to evade his CCG pursuers falling into the 20th Ward sewers, but begins to lose his sanity again due to the injury he received from Amon. At this point, Hide manages to find him, and reveals that he already knows everything about Kaneki. Wishing to help his friend, Hide asks Kaneki to fight one last battle. The battle against the second Owl continues as Ui is the next to be forced out of commission. Suzuya is left to watch the second Owl play around with his partner's body, and sees Shinohara's leg get cut off. This triggers Suzuya to remember all the times Shinohara had been a father figure to him, and realizes that he cares for his partner, and doesn't wish for Shinohara to die. Kaneki, now fully healed, makes his way through the sewer, but is greeted by Arima at the V14 route entrance; standing amongst a pile of ghoul corpses. Kaneki prepares for a fight against Arima as the battle against the second Owl goes on. Suzuya attempts to fight Owl for the sake of saving Shinohara, but results in him falling from exhaustion. Support finally arrives at this point as Hirako, Hachikawa, Tanakamaru, and many other Investigators arrive to fight the second Owl. Despite Kaneki's efforts in the fight, he continuously gets stabbed by Arima to the point that Kaneki begins to become unstable once more. Despite struggling to hold his sanity, Kaneki continues to fight in the hopes of getting in one attack that will defeat Arima, but fails to do so, and ends up being completely defeated. Kaneki's last moments have him entering a dimension within himself where he comes to the realization that he is no different from his mother who was only trying to protect herself from pain. He also apologizes to his younger self for becoming what he turned out to be down the line as the two decide that it's time that they take a rest. The very last moment has Kaneki remembering a clown ghoul that caused the steel beam incident. Elsewhere, Seidou manages to find the injured Amon, but before he could get him medical attention, he is greeted by Aogiri Tree's Tatara, who attacks Seidou when the ghoul realizes that the boy is a subordinate of the Investigator Houji that destroyed Tatara's organization. The two skirmish as Seidou ends up getting the left side of his body bitten off by Aogiri Tree's Noro ghoul. Enraged at what happened to Seidou, the injured Amon charges forward to fight once more against Tatara. The battle against the second Owl continues as Arima, and his squad, finally arrives to take over for the Investigators that have been fighting it. Arima battles with the second Owl to the point that the ghoul realizes the danger its in against Arima, and escapes with Yoshimura to a safe location. Here, the original Owl's true body comes out of its shell, and reveals the true identity of Yoshimura's child; Eto of Aogiri Tree, who is also the horror novelist, Sen Takatsuki. With the operation finally over, having defeated 99% of the ghouls, Nishiki watches on, and warns a now catatonic Tsukiyama to eat something before he dies of starvation. At a CCG hospital, Shinohara has been left in a vegetative state, and will no longer wake up, which stuns Suzuya. Akira also confirms the deaths of Amon and Seidou, which causes her to break down in tears. Banjou's group and Hinami are seen searching for a new Hideout, and Investigators Hirako and Ui discuss how no one came out the real winner in the Anteiku operation. Eto is shown working with Dr. Kanou, and have perserved Yoshimura in a test tube. A calmed Suzuya says his goodbye to Shinohara, and Yoshitoki and Arima inform Chairman Tsuneyoshi that they failed to defeat the One-Eyed Owl of Aogiri Tree. Having erased Kaneki's profile, Arima is given the boy's body to be made into his new quinque. At Itori's bar, she, Uta, Nico, Hoito and Souta laugh at Kaneki's demise, and reveal themselves to be the Clown Faction, Pierrot, that had been behind Kaneki's ghoul transformation. They are left deciding what to do next in order to have the last laugh. Yomo and Touka are last seen looking at the remnants of Anteiku as Touka states that she believes Kaneki will return to them one day. Akira visits her father's grave to inform him that she had been promoted to being able to work alongside Arima, and is greeted by her new junior that she will be training: Haise Sasaki.
