My theory is that he's alive unless they confirm that he's dead.

Yeah I think so too. Body was not found and no ghoul (save Norio, but just look at his mouth) is able to eat a whole body in one sitting.

Yes there's just too much we don't know about him. And no body was ever found, unlike Amon's arm, and I don't think a crazed Kaneki would eat him whole leaving no trace to be found. Personally I think he's working, or is aquainted with Eto or Yoshimura

Common sense would tell you he's dead (based on him vanishing after Kaneki woke up, the taste of blood in his mouth, etc.) but I think Ishida probably kept him alive for a big reveal later. Maybe Hide found a way to satiate Kaneki's hunger without offering himself up as food. He's a smart guy and I don't think he would've approached Kaneki like that in the sewer without some kind of plan, we will wait in see.

Would be cool if he's turned into a badass investigator and CCG is keeping him separate from Sasaki on some special mission in case his presence would bring Kaneki's memories back.

Since Haise Sasaki Is gonna Be in Tokyo Ghoul:re its gonna be Takizawa, Takatsuki n Arima Topics , Hide would be Out of the subject .Probably alive too.But if Ishida wants he can create a story with hide coming out of no where with an Explanation So for now I'm okay With believing he's dead (It Pains tho..)

Touka visited someone in the hospital, i think that could be Hide, but who knows...


And to be honest, in this manga no one died yet who had important role:
Shinohara, Seido, Rize, Yoshimura, Tsuyama, "Kaneki", (Amon), all of these characters was pretty close to death, but Ishida decided not to kill them at the end, or it was reviled later, that they somehow managed to survive. Even about Touka's father was hinted that he is alive in Cochlea.
So i dont think Hide is dead.

Because the CCG making new arata shields. It took years to creat a proper unique (in Jasons case it took 6 moths, if you want to make a Kakuja shield i think it needs more time) they were able to produce 2 and at the and of TG Amon got a "new" prototype, which means Arata has to be alive to create it.
One more reason: the CCG doesnt kill of the strongest ghouls (above S), they didn't killed Shachi nor Roma either.

I thought about arata's like this: if they somehow managed to make quinque out of the dead ghoul they could get some skills in this, too.
But of course your explanation makes sense.

Unfortunately, nobody important dies. Seriously, that's the biggest problem with this manga, if there's any. I mean, can we finally get rid of Naki? He is fun and everything, but he is one-trick and in such big battles named ghouls should die way more often.

Though I desperately wish Hide was dead. I liked him as a character, but he didn't get his place - his storyline was underdevelopped. Also an all forgiving friend really has no place in their universe. But more importantly it is just too good to have for once a plot, where the protag turned into a monster does really kill someone imortant to him, as is logical. Hide was acting stupid too, when he approached a crazed wounded ghoul. It'd be a pity if everything turns out fine, as it usually does in fiction.

Touka's father is alive. What do you think they made the 'arata' out of? His kagune.

I think that he's totally dead. Somebody important had to die in Tokyo Ghoul, because after all it was a tragedy. When Kaneki returns he will feel guilt since he ate his best friend. I think that Kaneki will completely return in chapter 63 of re:. There's no point in stating that Hide is missing if he's not dead. If he's missing it means that they were unable to find his body parts, so that basically it means he got eaten.

As for Root A, his death in it made me laugh since it reminded me of something:

I think Hide is either dead or in a coma missing a few body parts. The guilt will be interesting in terms of Kaneki developement when he finally returns and remembers what he did

Yes he's alive.

There are a couple theories out there (Him being a Washuu or being apart of Aogiri) that I think seem the most probable but who knows with Ishida-sensei anything could happen.

I could write some long ass post but just think about it, what purpose would killing Hide do for the story? Hide is the most mysterious character which means he needs to stay alive in order to drive the story forward and to keep the fans guessing.

Let me put it in the best way possible, if you don't see a character's death then you should assume that the character is still alive.

Sabo from one piece is a prime example of that.

Maybe some of you have read this before. Quite interesting imo. Anyway for me I don't believe he is dead but I can't completely believe he is alive too. So imma just stay neutral until everything is confirm. But it's not wrong to have faith in him that he will return to Kaneki/Haise someday right?

hey guys... what if hide is brother of arima???????? just an idea lol

since we can say he is aa member of washuu family, we can also say he is brother of arima or hirako or maybe suzuya?????? looool


but.. im sort of serious . why washuu? it can be arima as well... seriously why washuu...

an interesting idea? i think the real group who is involved with dr kanou's experiments not aogiri, it's CCG, namely washuu family and arima... so this takes us to the conclusion that if hide is relative of them, actually he knew everything from the beginnig or he was aware of them. so... that makes hide our enemy.

so yes.. my unbelievable theory ends here. you can go read the other comments lol

If you read the post part of it explains about the naming of Washuu family.(Even tho it's just random theory right now)
This >>The position of the “yoshi/kichi” kanji seems to alternate between the generations. If it’s the first kanji in the father’s name, then it’s the last kanji in the son’s name, and vice versa:
Dai'kichi' Washuu
'Yoshi'u Washuu
Tsune'yoshi' Washuu
'Yoshi'toki Washuu
and the next one in line would be:
Hide'yoshi' Washuu
If you're going to say he is Arima or Juuzou's brother do you mind to post the reference here?I would like to read about it too.

so no fucking thing is ever organic, and hide was strategically used or an incredible coincidence took place? the clowns involvement in the rize-kaneki-kanou incident was pushing it, I don't know why everyone likes this sort of thing. kaneki was normal, hide was normal, that's for the best.

it happens in shonen alone way too much. ichigo was a normal kid with sixth sense and holy shit, now he's a quincy/shinigami legacy. naruto? he was an afflicted persevering orphan with autism, then he became the 4th's son...then he became one of the chosen ones by destiny. kaneki and hide being normal without any connections to the human/ghoul generational conflict would be novel.

no no, i have no reference.. or my reference is me lol

but this name connection... idk maybe its true. maybe kaneki was chosen by hide to be turned into a half ghoul. lol theories, theories... we can say anything we want right now.

but.. if the name is enough to connect people, then why marude and the others didnt recognize hide if he really is the son of washuu? like "wait a minute.. this name.. this f*cking name..you cant be the son of our boss, can you?!" or something. idk.

Hide Is alive. He was in the re coffee shop. He was rescued by touka in the first place and the two build a strong bond

enough to make touka visit him in the hospital.
Currently, it is also speculated that Touka, Hide and Loser live in the same house but it's not yet confirmed.
