No one's really talking about it, but I love the world building Ishida does here. It's just a glimpse, but we saw a little of the dynamics in the 24th ward. The swords clan being interbreeding dwarf ghouls is a pretty cool element. It means that ghouls are conserving their power any way they can -- whether that would be the strong eating the weak, or a family keeping its strength within the bloodline. For the ghouls driven down there and unwilling to live among the humans, there must be a lot of ways they keep a hierarchy or system of families.

With Naki's White Suits we also saw that "the bad guys" don't just follow whoever is strongest, but have their own values. They're aware of their short lifespan, the futility of what they're doing, and value a leader who is loyal and personable, rather than particularly cunning or strong.

Yeah, I wanted to see a continuation of Kaneki's fight, but I guess we had a few chapters there, and I'm sure there were cries of "What's happening with Mutsuki?!" so... I'm OK with some time at Rue.
