Maybe his kagune is just in the briefcase, i mean, really, Kaneki himself can't fit in the briefcase. I really think kaneki is still alive. Plus, we've got so many unanswered questions...Hide is still alive, perhaps Hide took Kaneki with him? Also, I would think that the CCG would have seen Amon's dead body to pronounce him dead. As much as I want to believe he's alive, I just can't...but, we never saw him die, and the CCG is very secretive when it comes to distributing certain info, so perhaps he's alive, just maybe. Hopefully Seidou's alive too, I loved him.
Very interesting things I read on a Reddit thread:
-"Saw this on another forum guys. Just wanted to share- Credits to whoever that thought of this.
"Are people being serious about this?
That's so incredibly stupid I don't even know where to begin. Like what the fuck? How does that even work?
It's pretty obvious Kaneki was captured or something and he's the unexpected windfall from an otherwise hugely failed operation. That last scene between Arima and the director is basically them discussing whether they'll be able to turn Kaneki into an investigator powerful enough to merit the astonishing number of special investigators maimed and killed.
This!! I completely agree with this! Because that would explain:
1 - what that talk about black and white was "how is [he/she/it] gonna turn our - on our side or on theirs(black or white)? (thanks, koutaken) - Just like Kaneki's two-sided personality. Would he be a Ghoul or would he help the CCG
2 - why Kaneki was still able to have thoughts even though he officially died
3 - why the director says something about "increasing the value of a generally shitty outcome and that this increasing depends on Arima (maybe its gonna be a teacher-pupil relationsship)
4 - why Arima had a new suitcase - xcube323 mentioned that in this short amount of time , they couldnt have "quinquefied" Kaneki (which is correct) - Kaneki cant be in the suitcase, but the suitcase still plays an important role!
5 - why in the last picture, there stands someone that looks more like Kaneki than Arima(the "shirt" (dont know the word) would be too long for it to be Arima)) AND this someone has a suitcase - the last picture has at least something to do with Kaneki
6 - why only Kaneki had the text ERASED over his picture , and Arima is supposed to think of a new name now
7- the whole symbolism about "rebirth" and last!
8 - why the manga cant be called "Tokyo Ghoul" anymore (we should be waiting for "Tokyo Investigator" or something (sounds lameXD)
Well I guess that would be the most consistent explanation I have heard yet. Thanks again, anonymous! ;)""

And then I saw this
-"What Kanou said does seem to suggest he might have his hands on some of the apparently dead Ghoul Investigators...
BUT DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE TANKS LABELLED "OWL <number>"??"

"yeah i saw that, it would be crazy if they used yoshimaru's dna to make ghouls like eto and him the same way he made kaneki from rize"

I pretty much agree with this one here:
-"My theory is that they executed all ghoul in Cochlea(they did say it was emptied) and that the black suitcase is actually the priest or another SS ghoul from there. Amon is in custody of Kanou and will be made into a ghoul. Juuzou will continue investigator work with a new prosthetic/kagune leg and will more or less become the second Arima. The rest of Anteiku will move to another ward and struggle to survive
If there is no part2 then ill stick to my theory because its less boring than everyone dying. I don't get how you can kill the central character in the middle of his development sequence. If he hadn't gone through that transformation as he fought Arima i wouldn't have felt bad but now i just want to see the 'new' Kaneki.
also Kaneki did say he would wake up and there is something wirtten on the car that looks like 'see you soon' so there is hope"

I mean like what the heck... What do you guys think about this?? I'm so curious what will happen in the sequel if there will be one...
