The time line is a bit confusing, so I feel like I'll have to read the last couple of chapters to get a grasp of what's going on. Not sure if it's meant to be intentional, but Ishida's timing has been disorientating as of late. If I had to give my immediate opinion, the Cochlea Raid starting five days after Rushima makes a bit more sense I think. It was the fifth day when Yoshitoki got an update on Cochlea and was hoping that Arima would be able to handle things. Ishida also seem to be trying to get at something I can't immediately foresee (aside from broad "parallels") since the Rushima operation started on the eve of Mutsuki's birthday and now it's the day before Kaneki and Arima's. He's trying to line things up just right.

And I just realized that "dying in style" is Kaneki's birthday gift to himself, pffft!
