^Really nice explanation, Anon. I fully agree with you.

I also think Kaneki really wanted to live at the beginning because it seemed it went upwards again. He wasn't with his abusive relatives anymore, had a nice flat, was at the university and had a good friend. But then everything turned bad all of a sudden. If he had always been with Anteiku maybe it would have worked out. He could have slowly adapted to his new life and maybe would be able to tell Hide one day. But that wasn't possible. And it became even worse over time. He made new friends but he felt weak and thought he could not protect them. Maybe he even thought that they are the only thing that keep him alive. But then the Anteiku Raid happened and a lot of his friends were in danger. He couldn't possibly save them all. And maybe he thought everything is useless after all. So I think it really makes sense that he wanted to die at the end.
