Summary
It is found out that dragon has another core, despite Kaneki, and in order to survive the Ghoul apocalypse, it needs to be taken care of in 12 hours, otherwise everyone will be poisoned and turned into a ghoul. Kaneki seems to be the only one who is resistant to the poison, so he decides to go to the underground core of the dragon and destroy it along with Ayato who insists on helping out. The rest of them fight off the Clowns and when it seems like they are winning, a ghoul that looks like the Owl appears once more breaking havoc. Hinami locates that the Owl is being controlled by Donato and Kotaro goes to confront him. Uta and Itori meet Yomo where Uta starts fighting him but Yomo doesn’t kill him because he values their friendship. Amon manages to finish off Donato where he confesses that he always loved him as a father and couldn’t bring himself to hate him for what he has done. Meanwhile, Ayato and Kaneki are getting closer to the underground core of the dragon: Ayato stays behind to stall and face off the monsters while Kaneki moves ahead and finds Furuta guarding the core.
