Oh and we really can't say for sure what happened to the manga Hide.

Ishida left his fate just hanging in the air; he created a mystery, like good story-tellers do, and will probably later use that mystery in the story.

It can serve as something super-tragical that happens when Sasaki starts remembering things, and we'll detailedly get to see how he kills and eats Hide. In one of his flashbacks. And then we will all cry and pull our hair and can't sleep for weeks.

Or maybe Hide turns out to be alive and having interesting, surprising relations. Remember that fan theory about him being related to Kanou? Maybe Kanou has taken Hide to his shelter and Hide has... Kind of joined Aogiri... Whether he's human or ghoul now is unsure... I have no idea of what kind of character developement has he gone through. He tried to find and save Kaneki, but ended up loosing him to Arima and the CCG. Maybe... We see a sad, melancholic Hide. But he'd still have his hopeful spark about him. Also, he might seem to have allied with Aogiri, but probably he's still serving for his own purpose, finding Kaneki.

This speculated Hide might also have got known to Takizawa, who was turned into a ghoul by Aogiri. Hide might be terrified about the cruelness of Aogiri's actions, and that might have thoughened him up a little.

And of course, I can't help but think that it's also possible that Hide is an One-Eyed Ghoul now. He might have chosen that path, because it might have been his only way to survive... Like, it's possible that Kaneki, before being defeated by Arima, ate some of Hide's body to regenerate his wounds and fight once more. Hide's only way of being saved would have been having ghoul organs transplanted into him.

And then, amongst the CCG, there's the mysterious S3 squad. The only thing we know about is it that Kuki Urie wants to join it. We don't know absolutely anything about what's so special about that squad and what it does. What if Hide is somehow related to it?
