Never said you need to agree with me, Sunako. Just putting out the potential based on groundwork Ishida has already been laying out.

Plenty of people, myself included, don't believe for an instant that Furuta is actually intending for this to be the conclusion of things. His primary association has been with Suicidal Imagery, with the noose around his neck or a gun pointed at his head. This indicates that Furuta doesn't actually want a victory in a standard manner.

He's promised the other Clowns a massive finale, with a "final boss" in the so-called Dragon. The name of the operation itself has a secondary meaning that can be translated as "Water Dragon". So that element is coming probably in the next few chapters, as promised.

In terms of Kaneki, as I said....there's groundwork for him to survive. The biggest factor is what Furuta actually intends, since he's someone that has always cleaned things up himself unless he had some other motive. The last time he taunted someone and then presented them with a dead loved one, it turned out to be part of a larger game -- getting Eto to escape and eliminate V for him.

I've been seeing some theories that Kaneki himself may be the "Dragon", because cannibalizing the Oggai would definitely have some big impact. The closest example we've had so far is Kurona herself, who ate her own sister. That transformed her in a pretty dramatic fashion, if Kaneki ends up eating the Oggai then it would be even more extreme.

Like I said, we've already seen that someone with an identical kagune stabbing someone else can trigger a reaction. Takizawa stabbed Amon, who caused a backlash through the contact. An Oggai stabs Kaneki, he may be able to do the same thing or worse.

Plain and simple, I don't think this is actually his end. I think Furuta is attempting to provoke him, in the same manner that he provoked Eto or Donato provoked Urie. He's pushing Kaneki's buttons, and leaving him with a potential out....but only if he is willing to sink to killing human children.
