Kaneki’s path increasingly becomes that of a lone warrior, a solitary figure searching for meaning in a world set against him. His decision to distance himself from “Anteiku” shows its consequences—friends he left behind are now drawn into conflicts without his support, while tensions between ghouls and humans rise higher than ever. In this chaos, Kaneki realizes that even those who long for peace cannot escape the violence surrounding them.

In this volume, we witness the escalating clashes between the “Aogiri Tree” organization and the ghoul investigators. The battles grow more merciless, and casualties become inevitable. Pressured on all sides, Kaneki struggles to balance his newfound strength with the burden it brings. His search for identity evolves into a search for meaning—what does it truly mean to be a half-ghoul, and can anyone survive in such a state?

The ninth volume delivers a powerful mix of action and tragedy. Characters are forced to face choices that may break them, while readers are drawn into an atmosphere where the line between hero and monster nearly disappears. Tokyo Ghoul deepens its philosophical core here, reminding us that the struggle is not only external but also internal, within the heart of every individual.
