we dont know if he is though - since we know little to nothing about him - maybe he is maybe he isnt.

i personally doubt he is dead since he should have plot armour since his past and circumstances have yet to be revealed and no one but kanekis knows him so its more likely itll be shown by hide himself for example in flashbacks. also hide is still essential to the story imo bc he is very important to kaneki (weve just been reminded abt that in chapter 68 even if kanekis motives in this arc are mostly driven by hidden egoism - the influence hide still has on kaneki is not a thing one can ignore) and if he was proven alive it would immidialtly take the wind out of kanekis sails approaching his own death bc hes currently justifying his actions with wanting to die like hide - if hide isnt dead then well ...

personally im not a fan of the hosital theory bc hides main trait is that he is an active force so putting him into a coma would take the little potential he had as a character away which would be a waste - but i guess well just have to see maybe he is in the hospital after all.

however i belive touka visited kimi since she fit into torsos predator prey system - and it has yet to be explained why nishiki went after torso in the first place.
