^ Exactly. There truly isn't enough information to conclude Hideyoshi is dead. Normally, when an important character has died we would have got a hole lot more information on it. We would have got a lot more. Didn't Touka see them? Yeah, the two wasn't close but she would have at least noticed Hideyoshi is dead. She is a Ghoul, and yet she didn't show that she noticed anything off. She would have questioned why Kaneki is carrying 'dead' person, but she did not. Especially when she knows Kaneki doesn't really care for people, so that would bring on the confusion to way he is carrying enough to carry a 'dead' person. Know, if she realized it was Hideyoshi, she would have shown something, she would have looked a little sad. Again, they aren't close but it is obvious that the two are at least friends from the time they do spend together. So that doesn't add up.

Another thing is Kaneki's expression when Hideyoshi moves in the flames. I'm more then certain that a character like Kaneki who is doing EVERYTHING, the WHOLE plot and everything he did was to protect Hideyoshi and if the man is really dead, then what would Kaneki do? His mission failed because he couldn't protect Hideyoshi which, again, was the true reason why he did everything. Kaneki would have ended his own life to be with him. That is clear and yet he did not. Why? Because Hideyoshi moved, he smiled at him. Kaneki was fully preparing to die in the fire, that was obvious but had began leave the coffee store when Hideyoshi showed signs of life. Again, both dies are right in their points. The sheet could be used to show death and such, but also at the same time, the more likely option is that Kaneki used it to protect Hideyoshi. (I'm not sure about this next part, so if I'm wrong then just ignore it) When walking, it looks like Hideyoshi is holding his side where he got inured. He is either holding it or it is laying limp over the side. Not sure.

The last thing I want to say, repeat. In the manga, it wasn't shown that Hideyoshi is dead. If he is alive then it is most likely Kaneki brought him to somebody who is powerful enough to help him. I highly doubt Kaneki would allow himself to be taken like he was and tortured again as that was how Haise was made. It's likely he made a deal and as Hideyoshi is the key character to him, it probably was "Save him and I'll surrender"

Hideyoshi is way to important of a SIDE character. I still honestly believe we'll be seeing him again later. Likely when Ishida wants Kaneki to remember everything or we'll see Hideyoshi as something nobody was expecting.
