I also wonder why Hide is so dedicated to Kaneki. I know, friendships aren't all about give-and-take, but Hide must have gained something from his relationship with Kaneki through all those years. Stability? Companionship? Security? Satisfaction from being able to see past Kaneki's facade?

Hide's a pretty enigmatic figure, in retrospect. All we know is that he transferred in when he was a child and that he's an International Studies major - but he's practically sacrificed his education, his normal life, and possibly his future as a CCG employee now, all for Kaneki. Does Hide even have a family, or is Kaneki his only family?

It's interesting, too, that he's never been featured on a volume cover. Provided that Hide is alive, and that Ishida Sui's "shocking" new series is indeed a sequel, I predict his role will be much larger in the future. I feel as if Hide is the dark horse of Tokyo Ghoul, the piece that is able to gather information and move without anybody suspecting - not even the Clowns, the supposed masterminds. In the end, it might even be Hide who undermines all their (and everyone else's) machinations.

Idk. Just a few thoughts on a rather mysterious character.
