I haven't read the manga yet, so bare with me. When Arima opened his quinque (later shown plunged in the snow) it looked as if he was also offering peace. So, in conclusion, I have gotten the impression that Kaneki is still alive. Personally (just like many of you out there) I want him and Tokou to hook up. Also, another theory that I agree on with others is that Hide may still be alive. When Kaneki was walking out of the burning coffee shop, his ghoul tear touched Hide's face and he grimaced. To me, I took it as he was still alive. (Could have been his last little breath of life so who knows?) I think it's safe to say that in the anime version, Hide is dead. In the manga, it was suspected that Kaneki ate him before fighting Arima. In :re, it's been confirmed that HIde told Kaneki to eat him.
