Nah, I don't think Kaneki ate him. I have more than one reason why I'm sticking with this theory:

1) Hide is an extremely smart character, and is the type to plan ahead. I don't think he would sacrifice himself like that, when he cares about Kaneki. That would be rather uncharacteristic of him. He's Kaneki's only best friend.



Let's look at chapter 136, page 17.

Here, Hide says, "I want to help you!"

This could have implied that he had a plan in mind. As stated before, Hide is an intelligent character. I have my doubts Ishida Sui would allow this clever persona to put his brain to waste.

Hide also asks Kaneki to fight with all he has one more time. He sees that Kaneki is clearly in no position to fight, as he is wounded and the like, so why would he suggest his best friend to fight anyways? Obviously, he must have had some sort of plan in mind.

2) In Chapter 142, on the very last page, Hide is under the missing category. Not dead, missing. This could very well mean that he is still alive. As we all know, this manga ended with many unanswered questions, and with the rececnt announcement on Ishida Sui's website for TG, it is just about nearly confirmed there will be a sequel.
