If this story was going the predictable route, I'd say that Sasaki would defect from the CCG. One thing I like about Ishida Sui's storytelling is that it isn't predictable. Everytime it seems the story will go one way, he takes it into another route that I would have never thought of. Also, he loves to throw curveballs in the story to keep the readers guessing. In short, I think for me personally, that it's best for Sasaki to stay in the CCG. He can use the authority he has as an high ranked investigator to protect those he cares about such as what he did in saving Hinami. If he leaves, that will just confirm Arima's suspicions that his ghoul persona (Kaneki) has returned. In addition, he doesn't have a network to go to for support. He'd just be on the run with the CCG after him because there is no way they will allow a dangerous, mentally unstable, ghoul to run loose in the public. They will eliminate him. Having said that, I can see Sasaki and Arima battling again eventually because he will have to surpass him. That's the whole point for the Quinx project.
