How is Hide useless? Hide was Kaneki's only refuge when his aunt treated him like an unwelcome guest in her house. Hide was always there for Kaneki even when he wouldn't speak up against the kids bullying him in school. Hide knew Kaneki so well, he knew when he was hiding something just by how he scratched his chin. Hide is Kaneki's home. Not Touka. Even when she said, "See you later," before he faced off with Arima, he still intended to die by Arima's hand. It was only when he hallucinated Hide intervening that Kaneki realized that he wanted to live. Hide is not useless. If not for Hide not giving up on him and finding him in the sewer when he had a gaping hole in his side that was not regenerating and offered Kaneki to eat his flesh, Kaneki would be dead. Hide encouraged Kaneki to fight with all his strength against Arima most likely knowing that in doing so, the CCG's Reaper would spare himwhich he did. Hide is Kaneki's most important person. He always has been and always will be. Unlike Touka, Hide never once laid a hand on Kaneki. He reached him through compassion and reassurance. Not fists.
