Rather than making a long chapter filled with different fight scenes, I decided to break them apart more so to better pace the 'Corniculum Massacre' story arc.

Thank you again for reading, and I hope you enjoy this chapter mostly centered around Urie.

The author's notes will be at the bottom, thank you and please enjoy!


Descending towards Urie, Mutsuki attempted to slam all four of her wedged-tendrils down on him while she was still in midair. Using the kicked-up veil made up of snow created by Mutsuki's kagune, Urie shed a thin-layer of his quinque with his electrokinetic abilities to create a bright flash to disorient and bait the quinx into trying to attack his after image.

"You bastard…! Stay still!" Mutsuki shouted angrily at her opponent, as she attempted to swing her knives down at where she last saw his silhouette shifting through the snow. Missing her target completely, Mutsuki strategically pushed herself up with her kagune in anticipation of evading Urie's quinque.

However, rather than using Ginkui on his ex-squadmate and old love interest, Urie instead decided to leap upwards from behind her to sink his fingertips against the base of Mutsuki's kagune. Delivering a powerful yet quick charge, Urie was able to cause Mutsuki's q-frame to forcibly retract her kagune back inside her; rendering it inoperable.

"This doesn't concern you," Urie stated in his modulated voice, before grabbing Mutsuki by the shoulder to shove her off balance while they were plumening down back onto the snow-covered pavement. Watching Mutsuki losing her footing the moment she landed on the ground, Urie made sure that she wasn't injured as she collapsed into a mound of snow.

Having let his guard down for a moment too soon, Urie was unable to turn around quickly enough to protect himself against the kagune-blade that Yomo had created by wrapping his wing-like appendage around his right arm. Staggering to the side after Yomo's blade had clashed against the armor covering his collar bone, Urie paid no mind to the fact that his clavicle bone had been shattered from the brute force of the attack alone, and instead turned around to face the ghoul.

"I remember you… I also remember gutting you the last time we had an encounter," Urie said in a flat tone, as he ran forward to slash at the spot where Yomo had been standing before immediately backstepping away from him.

"Yeah, I remember that too…" Yomo said in a gruff voice, before immediately firing a rapid-fire barrage of kagune-shards not at the Black Reaper, but at the base of his quinque's blade. Watching his handiwork unfolding before him, Yomo was more than satisfied with the aftermath of his attack after seeing Ginkui bending unnaturally before flying out of Urie's grip.

With his sword gone, Urie immediately unraveled his large koukaku-kagune that fused out of his Arata quinque to create a sinister-looking black-blade that was enveloped in what appeared to be blue-lightning. "… Didn't figure you to be someone who learned from their mistakes."

"You don't know the half of it, dickhead..." Yomo muttered back in a low-monotone voice, before using his memory of their last fight to predict Urie's next move. Knowing fully well that the Black Reaper's kagune was capable of firing close-range shots similar to that of a twelve-gauge shotgun, instead of trying to move away from Urie's kagune, Yomo dashed forward closer to him.

Using his kagune-blade, Yomo swung upwards underneath Urie's very own kagune to lift the tip of the black-blade upwards towards the sky, in order to redirect to fired kagune-shards away from him. In retaliation to Yomo's parry, Urie reached up with his free hand to grab a hold of the underside of Yomo's kagune to sink his fingertips into his blade.

Attempting to electrocute Yomo the same way he had done to Eto, blue sparks shot outward from Urie's fingers as he attempted to directly fry the ghoul from the inside-out. However, rather than trying to pull away from Urie's electric-attack like he had done back in Cochlea, Yomo instead countered it with his own electro-kinetic capabilities.

A hot flash of burning white light exploded between Yomo's kagune and Urie's hand, which caused the two combatants to stagger violently backwards from the propulsion created by the discharge of opposing bioelectric charges.

Without daring to let one another have a moment to recover, Yomo and Urie immediately both began to slash at one another; each time their kagune-blades connected, an electric-discharge would force the two to separate before they could go at each other's throats again.

"You're a stubborn man… I'll give you that much," Urie spoke calmly, as he rose back up from the snow to leap forward with his kagune cocked back in a position to stab the ghoul.

"And you're a dead man," Yomo spat back with his furrowed eyes fixated slightly past Urie's shoulder, before strategically slashing his kagune sideways to parry the Black Reaper's blade. With the discharge sending the two of them back from the propulsion force yet again, Yomo smirked subtly as he skidded backwards while watching Urie staggering straight towards where Mutsuki was waiting for him.

"Gotcha...!" Mutsuki whispered sinisterly in a muffled voice, as she rammed Ginkui's blade straight through Urie's abdomen before breaking it off inside of him. Tossing the handle backwards, Mutsuki swiftly ducked underneath Urie's kagune as he swung at her while turning around to face her. While still kneeling down, Mutsuki unsheathed her two quinque knives, 'Ifraft' and 'Abksol', before leaping up to ram their blades deep into Urie's armpits.

Seemingly unphased by her attack, the Black Reaper immediately retaliated by kicking Mutsuki's face and sending her falling backwards onto the snowy ground. In preparation to deliver a follow up attack on Mutsuki while she was down, Urie raised his kagune upward before being interrupted by Yomo, who tackled him into the snow-ridden pavement.

With his arm wrapped around the Black Reaper's neck in an attempt to break it or make him lose consciousness by cutting his brain's air supply off, Yomo clenched his jaw and tightened his grip as he felt Urie's fingertips piercing his kagune-covered forearm. Having overestimated himself, Yomo silently cursed himself as he could feel the Black Reaper's fingers digging past his shattering kagune to begin anchoring themselves inside his skin and muscles.

"'Eyepatch'…!" Yomo called out as he looked up at Mutsuki, who was in the midst of wiping away the blood pouring out of her nose. "Get the 'One Eyed Owl', and go! Just keep running and don't look back, understand?!" Yomo ordered, while suffering in silence as he could feel Urie beginning to pull apart the tendons and bones in his forearm in an attempt to free himself.

With her heart racing and her adrenaline coursing through her veins as her body's 'fight-or-flight' response was screaming at her to fight, Mutsuki felt more than just hesitation at the idea of abandoning Yomo to fend for himself against the Black Reaper. However, before she could argue, Mutsuki quickly caught a side-eye glance of Eto's barely-breathing body, which called out for her to save her.

"... Understood," Mutsuki replied back in a barely-audible voice, before giving one last nod to Yomo as she sprinted away to scoop Eto up in her arms. Cradling the mother figure she never truly had in her life close to her body, Mutsuki resisted the urge to look back as she sprinted past Yomo and Urie to make her way out of Corniculum's vicinity.

Enduring the pain of having his right arm torn apart piece-by-piece, Yomo was able to keep what little remained of his arm around Urie's neck long enough to give Mutuski a generous amount of time to separate herself from the battlefield. Eventually though, the Black Reaper was able to tear his arm apart from the middle before completely ripping it out of Yomo's shoulder.

Fighting through the pain, Yomo focused on keeping Urie's outstretched hand away from his face by laying flat against the snow while using his legs and one-good arm to fight off the Black Reaper. Unfortunately, Urie was able to sink his sharp-claws deep into Yomo's wrist with the intent to electrocute the ghoul long enough to prevent him from protecting his head.

Knowing what Urie was about to do, Yomo decided to sacrifice his arm in order to push his attacker away from him. Accepting that his last resort method of saving himself would cost him greatly, Yomo took solitary comfort in knowing that at least Mutsuki, who reminded him so greatly of Kaneki back when he first arrived at Anteiku, would survive the night.

Right as Urie's electrified RC-cells traveled up Yomo's forearm, the gruff and foreboding ghoul used all of his kakuhou sacs to generate a powerful electric discharge that caused an explosion of heat to blow apart his arm before the Black Reaper's own electric shock could travel into the rest of his body.

Staggering back with his arms raised up to shield himself from the propelled snow that washed over his body from the high-voltage discharge, Urie was sent flying back a few meters away from where Yomo was lying injured in a pool of his own blood. Landing on his feet, Urie crouched down and lowered himself towards the ground to catch himself in order to recover from Yomo's desperate attempt to defend himself.

"... You've successfully wasted my time and ruined my quinque," Urie said through his voice modulator, as he casually pulled out Mutsuki's knives from his armpits before removing Ginkui's broken blade from his abdomen, as if though they were nothing more than just splinters to him. "You've fought well… But not well enough." The Black Reaper said in a taunting fashion, as he began to march over toward Yomo with blue-sparks shooting out of his right hand.

"... I'm going to need a new quinque… Your kagune will do fine." Urie mused aloud for Yomo to hear him concisely, as he knelt down beside the ghoul. Wrapping one hand around Yomo's throat to keep him still and to crush his windpipe, Urie's fingertips momentarily pierced the ghoul's abdomen before suddenly he was knocked down by a flurry of kagune-shards piercing his armor from the back.

Taking the opportunity to assist his savior with whatever means were available to him, Yomo forced his exhausted body to curl upward enough to sink his teeth into the Arata quinque. Although his teeth couldn't pierce the Black Reaper's armor, Yomo was able to successfully rip a large-chunk of the one-eyed ghoul's quinque to expose his clavicle as a weak spot.

Furious at Yomo for damaging his quinque, Urie gripped the ghoul's jaw tightly and tore into his bone and flesh with the intent of ripping it off. However, a red-glowing ukaku blade piercing through his already damaged-abdomen forced Urie to involuntarily release Yomo's jaw long enough for his assailant to pull him up above the ground before violently tossing him ten-meters away from Yomo.

On his hands and knees, Urie could taste the bitterness of his own heavily-concentrated RC-cells as he looked down at the snow below his stomach to see black-blood melting through the ice underneath him.

Overestimating himself after defeating both Eto and Yomo, the Black Reaper wasn't expecting to be pitted against a ghoul who was somehow faster than he was; such an epitome became clear to Urie as soon as he felt his attacker's blade break apart the upper-half of his helmet before he could even have a chance to get back up on his feet.

Feeling the muscles in his neck tensing up and tearing, Urie was once again sent flying backwards into a thicket of snow. Before his mind could finish processing that his attacker was now centimeters away from him, Urie rolled out of the way on his side to narrowly avoid being cleaved in half while unraveling his kagune to create a large-blade around his right arm.

Needing to fend off his attacker who was faster than he was, Urie figured that he needed to rely on his electric-kinesis to overpower them; such thinking was quickly proven to be futile after his attempt to use his electrokinesis against his attacker resulted in his kagune being blown apart due to the sheer voltage of the ghoul's own biolectric capabilities that outmatched his own.

Using the momentum of being thrown across the field of snow with enough velocity to give him whiplash, Urie was able to roll backwards and stagger up back on his feet to see who his attacker was. However, by the time Urie's neck was craned upwards, all he had time to see was Touka's pissed off expression as she swung her blade towards the side of his face again.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" Touka screamed hatefully with the same ferocity as a siren, as she watched the tip of her kagune rip out Urie's exposed left eye clean out its socket as he barely backed away at the last second to avoid having the entire midsection of his head sliced clean off.

Unable to feel pain as he once did, Urie was able to shrug off his injury in order to maneuver his arms up to catch Touka's kagune with his armored claws, but was quickly caught off guard by Touka leaping forward to bash the top of her head against his exposed forehead.

Pulling the disoriented man closer to her while his fingertips were caught in her kagune, Touka followed up her headbutt by immediately elbow-bashing his hollow eye socket that slowly leaked out a black tar-like substance. Without letting up, Touka used her momentum to grab the broken-part of Urie's helmet to pull his head down so she could break the rest of his mask off by bashing her knee repeatedly against his face.

Eyeing the part of his damaged armor that she immediately knew was created from her father, Touka leaned forward and sunk her teeth into Urie's exposed clavicle. However, the grave mistake she made that she had no way of knowing beforehand ended up leaving her exposed after the foul and acidic taste of Urie's artificial blood caused her to recoil and gag.

With his small window of opportunity, Urie used the flat-edge of his hand to chop the side of Touka's throat to disorient her long enough for him to deliver a powerful right hook against the side of her temple that sent her mask flying off of her face. Crouching down to catch herself from collapsing onto the snow, Touka was able to swing her kagune blade down with enough force to cleave clean through his right leg.

Clumsily walking backwards in a crouched position to maneuver herself away from Urie as she waited for him to fall forwards onto his front, Touka immediately rushed back forward to leap onto the Black Reaper's back the moment she watched him land on the snowy ground. "You…! You're that boy Saiko's talked about… And that kakuja you're wearing like armor? That belongs to my father… I'm taking it back…!" Touka wheezed out wearily, after becoming fatigued due to her using up her short supply of stamina.

Using what strength she had left, Touka kept Urie pinned against the snow as she tore chunk-after-chunk off of her father's bastardized kakuja from the Black Reaper's quinque before shoving bits-and-pieces of it into her mouth. The consistency was unpleasant and the taste was foul to Touka; paired with the fact that she was cannibalizing her father's kakuja didn't make the task of having to chew through the armored quinque any easier for her.

While Touka was replenishing her RC-cells and strength, the black-tar bleeding out of Urie's severed leg began to navigate itself through the snow like a sentient-liquid, as it snaked its way toward his gaping black-wound. Trail-blazing its way back to the Black Reaper's stump just below his right kneecap, the artificial blood pumped full of heavily-modified RC-cells buried itself back into Urie's body before immediately reattaching his severed leg that once laid half-a-meter away from him.

Like an anaconda, Urie immediately flipped himself over just as Touka was finishing filling her belly up with his quinque armor before wrapping his arm tightly around her neck. Wrestling with the thrashing ghoul that was ripping pieces of his armor and whatever else she could grab a hold of off of his body, Urie used Touka's electric-kinetic attack to his advantage by allowing her to seize the muscles in his arm so that they would tighten even more so around her windpipe.

After about a minute of depriving Touka's brain of oxygen, eventually her struggles de-escalated into pathetic jabs, and soon enough she had stopped moving altogether. With the intention of keeping her alive so he could use her as a bargaining chip with Haise, Urie could feel the black-smoke of his fried organings escaping through his lips as he stood up from Touka's unconscious body.

Making his way over to where his helmet had been broken into two-parts, Urie picked each piece up before using his tar-like blood to glue them back together, in order to temporarily spare Haise the truth of knowing who he was underneath the mask.

'That coffee shop manager… She knew who I was… I'll have to kill her after I get Kurona from Sasaki,' Urie thought bitterly with a bit of reluctance in his head, as he temporarily shifted his gaze to where Touka laid out in the snow. 'For a woman, she's strong; I'll give her that… Her kagune will make an excellent qu-?!'

Before Urie could even finish his thought, he suddenly found himself needing to summon his damaged kagune once more in order to shield himself from a barrage of throwing knives that sliced their way through the howling winds toward him. After feeling around thirty quinque-metal knives burying themselves deep into his damaged kagune, Urie leapt backwards while lowering his arm to see who else was attacking him.

Due to him having just been assaulted with knives with incredible accuracy and power, Urie was half-expecting to see Mutsuki returning to save Yomo and Touka, but instead of seeing the woman who he once had feelings for, he was met with the sight of a towering six-armed kakuja staring down at him with goofy eyes and a lamprey-like gaping mouth gawking at him.

"The Clowns…? Explain your-" Urie said in an attempt to sound intimidating, before suddenly cutting himself off after realizing that his voice modulator was no longer functional after his scuffle with Touka. Looking up at the brown-haired woman staring back at him from the top of the kakuja's forehead, Urie found her clown mask to be almost as irritating as the wide-goofy smile she had on her face.

"Hey there, 'Black Reaper'~! I didn't know abominations like yourself were allowed to think for themselves, let alone make decisions~!" Roma Hoito chimed in with a taunting pitch in her voice, as she happily waved down at Urie, before slowly lowering her arm after realizing that he wasn't happy to see her at all. "Wowie! Who pissed in your coffee this morning?!"

Having rode along the back of Roma's kakuja, Uta and Itori both donned their masks as they climbed down the side of one of Roma's massive arms to land on the snowy ground. Making his way over to Yomo, Uta knelt down and waved his hand obnoxiously over the ghoul's face until being shoved away by his knee.

"If I'm going to die... I sure as hell don't want your prissy-little mask being the last thing I see…" Yomo muttered wearily with annoyance in his voice, as he struggled to speak through his mask that was barely-still attached to his face.

"It's a pleasure to see you as well, 'Raven'... Did you ever get my Christmas-Party invitation? I'd hate to ruin the magic, but the rental cost for that Disney Hotel was ridiculously expensive, so I'm going to need to ask your niece for a loan to help offset the cost for… Oh, there she is," Uta commented, while looking over his shoulder to see Touka lying unconscious beside Urie's feet.

Irritated that his friend, who he both loved and despised at the same time, was talking so much, Yomo used what little strength he had to curl himself upwards to gesture over to the Black Reaper. "Focus, dumbass…! We can talk about that pointless shit later…'

"... I'll be expecting an apology later," Urie said in his usual demeanor, despite Yomo's insult against Disney and Christmas rubbing him the wrong way. "Just between you and I, you're being awfully rude to your rescuers… We'll have to continue our chat at a different time, when we're not surrounded by as much death and destruction." Uta said with a little bit of disappointment in his voice, before scoping Yomo up in his arms while turning around to face Urie. "... Hello there, Reaper."

"To hell with your pleasantries; 'No Face', does 'Souta' know of your current whereabouts? Was he the one who sent you?" Urie inquired in his naturally deep voice, to which Uta quickly responded with a casual shake of his head.

"No, he doesn't know that I'm here… Although, I suspect that you'll be telling him about our intervention here after this is all said and done… That is, if you live to tell about it," Uta said nonchalantly, as he gestured with his head over towards Roma, who was eagerly awaiting to be given the 'green light' to attack Urie.

"... You're aware of the consequences that the 'Clowns' will be facing for defying the will of 'GOAT'?" Urie asked in a challenging way that was somewhat lost on Uta, who again answered with a shrug before speaking his mind.

"If that's what you want to call it, go ahead. In my eyes, I'm making sure that my guests can't use the excuse of 'being dead' as a reason why they can't show up to my Christmas party." Uta argued without ever losing his temper, as he watched Itori quickly scoop Touka over his shoulder before nervously walking away from Urie at a fast pace.

"Pardon me… Just, um… Just gonna be over here while you two talk…!" Itori said aloud with a bit of fear in her voice, as she shimmied away from Urie who was too injured to strike her just yet.

"So ... This is the fate you've chosen for yourselves? Very well..." Urie mused with a sinister tone behind his words, after purposefully stalling them long enough to allow his body enough time to repair itself and his kagune by filling in his injuries with its sentient-like black RC-cells.

The same artificially-modified cells that had secretly been repairing and reconstructing Ginkui ever since Mutuski had used it against him and his blood was spilt on it.

Having been eyeing the specialized knives that Uta had been subtly pulling out of the pocket of his black-trench coat, Urie strategically used the magnetic-properties of his blood to force the handle of his quinque back into his right hand at the same exact moment the ghoul decided to strike.

Fully recovered within a matter of a minute, Urie had no problem parrying each thrown knife with ease. After witnessing the speed and the dexterity being displayed by the Black Reaper, it didn't take long for it to click in Uta's mind that he no longer had the upper hand against Urie. 'Welp… That didn't take long,' Uta thought to himself, as he slowly began to back away from the Black Reaper.

"'Gypsy', I take it you have it from here?" Uta asked with a bit of concern in his voice, while he watched Itori rush past him with Touka over her shoulder.

"Oh don't worry about me, dearie~! The 'Dodgy Mother' has this perfectly under-" Before Roma could even finish her sentence, the burst of magnetic-discharge amplified with the high-voltage capabilities of Urie's electrokinesis made his body propel upward her kakuja's outstretched and beefy arm.

Using his quinque and kagune by extending their blades parallel from one another, Urie used his rotating-momentum to slice through the arm of Roma's kakuja as he traveled up it like a buzzsaw. Chuckling from how much Urie's attacks tickled her, Roma tried to stay focused long enough to use another one of her kakuja's hands to grab him, but was unable to stop the Black Reaper from severing her massive limb off with ease as he got closer.

Grabbing onto one of the many grotesque extra-limbs sticking out of the head of her kakuja, Urie redirected himself toward Roma's grinning face that was sticking out of the forehead of her kakuja. Sinking his fingers deep into her skull, Urie ripped Roma out of her own kakuja while simultaneously electrocuting her so she couldn't fight back.

Watching with disgust as she laughed maniacally while her eyes melted out of her sockets, Urie sheathed his quinque back into its scabbard on his hip before piercing his free hand into her abdomen to fish around her guts until he found what he was looking for. Sinking his silver-tipped claws into her body's massive-collection of kakuhou sacs, Urie's fingers drained Roma's RC-cells while feeding on her nutrients.

Only needing a few seconds to drain every last drop of her RC-cells and vitamins that his body could stomach, Urie ripped his hand out of Roma's gutted abdomen before reaching up to snap her neck as though she were a twig. "How irritating…" Urie muttered to Roma's unresponsive head, before tossing her off of the collapsing husk that was once her kakuja.

Watching her body bounce off and land deep into a mound of snow, Urie turned his attention away from Roma to scan the horizon for any traces of either Uta or Itori. With his limited vision obscured by the heavy traces of falling snow floating in the violent winds around him, the night sky and poor lighting of what remained of the ghoul detention center's grounds made it impossible for Urie to see where the two had gone off to.

Knowing that he could track them down if he so desired with his hound-like sense of smell, Urie took a moment to weigh his options before eventually deciding that his mission was more important than trying to hunt them down.

Looking away from where the fallen wall of Corniculum once stood proudly, Urie turned his head over his shoulder to stare off at the four-story detention building that stood in the center of the entire out-door facility.

"... You better still be alive, Shirazu." Urie muttered under his breath, as he hopped off of Roma's defeated kakuja to begin making his way over to where he knew Shirazu and Haise were at, along with his target: Kurona.


Thank you for reading!

As you might tell, Urie had a lot of modifications done on his anatomy in order to achieve the body he needed to become the 'Black Reaper'; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Eto, Yomo, Touka, and Roma if he remained the same power level as he was in the manga. Gotta make him an actual threat against the likes of Eto after all. It'll be explained later, along with the origins of the Oggai.

It's time for me to go over the reviews I got lol.

RIP Karren, her German-ass got vored to death. Unless…?

Thank you for writing, Saitama! You're indeed correct, Shirazu, along with a lot of people who affiliate themselves with CCG, often commit hypocritical actions in spite of what their intentions are. He should have just waited for Eto to remember where her apartment is, but considering that he was going to try and raid a CCG-operated hospital by himself, it's safe to assume that he's desperate, and probably wants to die trying rather than just giving up on his sister; at least in his mind, that makes sense to him. Haise luckily won't have to see Eto's body in person, and he sure will have a hard time forgiving Shirazu after this.

Shirazu did screw up, and Touka probably will become extra pissed off after being betrayed by the young man she took in and gave a job to. If Shirazu does survive the night, Touka probably would have him imprisoned in the basement, for Saiko and Haise's sake.

Thank you for reviewing Carla! Eto's personality did revert to her old usual self, and yeah this arc will have lots of death lol. Karren's dreams of love were wasted, sadly, and she should have ran away but then got cocky because she outnumbered Eto. Tsukiyama won't be happy, and Chie Horie will be Haise's only proof that he didn't sabotage the raid. And although Eto suffered greatly, she does have a future! You're welcome for the hope too lol.

Thank you for reviewing Root A! 'Urie vs Mutsuki' was indeed just Urie trying to not hurt Mutsuki while simultaneously fighting off Yomo. Although, for someone as timid as she is, Mutuski did manage to get a few good hits in before needing to retreat in order to save Eto. Touka ended up cracking it, so she knows who he is just from Saiko's pictures of Urie. Don't worry though, Half-Kakuja Haise will be fighting Frameless-Kagune Urie.

Haise only sort of saw Eto, thanks to how bad the cameras were, so yeah he's focused on saving Kurona and Chie, along with trying to pacify Shirazu, while struggling to remain grounded in reality. CCG is going to be in shambles for sure after this.

Thank you for reviewing, Reviewbruh! Touka is a possessive person, and she won't be too happy with sharing, unless she feels like she's the main one; so she and Eto will probably but heads a few times. And yep, Touka would be the one to initiate anything between her and Haise. Eto really did a number on CCG and the United Front, but luckily for her, there's someone else who can give Eto the aid she needs. Shirazu did Haise wrong, and Kurona does need help after getting the shit kicked out of her by CCG and Shirazu.

Kurona was definitely tortured, and is already messed up in the heads thanks to Juuzou killing her sister and her being unable to let that go. Eventually she'll warm up to Haise and probably let him tap her; that is, if he wants to after seeing her deformed body.

Don't worry, we'll see what happened to Saiko soon, and if Eto was at her best, she probably would have been able to best Urie, or at least it would have ended in a tie.

Thanks for reviewing L, and Eto sure does need some milk. Haise just learned how to use his kagune, so he's going to need a little more time and sustain more damage to remember how to use his kakuja.

Good analogy: Eto will definitely have her memories back after getting her brain fried for a second time.

Haise and Eto will have their 'talk' for sure, especially after Eto takes Haise back to her apartment to look around at her belongings.

Haise's deal with Tsukiyama isn't broken yet, not until Touka convinces him to 're-negotiate' their deal with him. Haise's goal will still be to find Hinami, despite learning from Shirazu's example of extreme behavior that his fixation on her is unhealthy.

Haise probably would be in tears if he did see Eto up close, but for better or for worse, he won't have that chance. By the time he sees her, she'll be mostly fine.

Hell yeah Touka wants some of that Kaneki ass, lmao, and Haise probably won't see it when it does come.

The sentence 'Shirazu is trying to crack Haise's nuts with the Nutcracker' made me chuckle more than it should have. It'll explain what happened to Saiko, but just know that she's mostly well, albeit just shaken up and sad that Shirazu and Urie trapped her, but she'll be okay.

That about does it for this chapter, thank you again for reviewing and reading!

Make sure to have a great day, goodbye for now!
