Why do people want so much to downplay Hide's importance to Kaneki? I sense a certain particular ship is why. Kaneki loves Hide and vice versa. Whether it's romantic or platonic only the mangaka knows. They have a strong bond. There's nothing that Hide wouldn't do for Kaneki. At least he didn't beat him up like a certain someone and bully him. Hide knew that words, not fists, is how to get through to a person suffering from deep depression and suicidal thoughts. I'm glad that Kaneki had Hide in his life. He was the only good thing for a good part of his childhood and teen years. When he returns, they can renew their bond and face the world together.
