^ My points or rather instigation, is to get other users to elaborate on what Furutasmole said out of some sort of sympathy. To me there were some rash conclusions in her comment. So her points often seem filled up by personal interpretation. I disagree with the reasoning, not so much with the initial points. For Hide to sacrifice his life, that is major, but the way mole makes his selfless act out to be something purely angelic almost, goes overboard again. Hide is a fool in my eyes, a brave & loyal one, but still a fool.

Maybe questions make it easier to understand:

Did the novel portray or talk about Hide & Kaneki's 10 year relationship? How they behaved towards each other, how things developed and what happened between them?

Why does Hide go to such lengths? Not informing anyone, not looking for help with anyone. His plan completely relied on him finding Kaneki, before either ghouls or CCG found him in the process. (The process is not something Kaneki was aware off.)

I think people like Furutasmole overestimate what Kaneki could've done. Also I can't see in any way how Kaneki is to blame for Hide's death.

No matter how I see it and as Furutasmole already deduced, from the point either one became a ghoul, certainly in Kaneki's case, things would've gone wrong somewhere. If Hide was the ghoul then i'm not so sure if Kaneki would be brave enough to rush to his friends aid.

There's only one way I can think off, that might've worked and that's for Hide to stay close to Anteiku until Kaneki shows up. Or ask Touka to relay a message to Kaneki. Even to this day, I still wonder why Touka & Hide didn't help each other... I still wonder why Touka didn't even mention her meeting with Hide or tell Kaneki that Hide's been doing just fine to ease his mind, maybe that would've been the push for Kaneki to visit him. At least that would've made it so that fans would be rather satisfied with Hide's eventual death, because they got to reunite without blood gushing out of either one.
