I've now protected the One-Eyed King's page. Jeez, people can't stop editing because "Eto is the King" or "no, he's not Eto". (There are imho four possibilities here: 1. Eto is the King, 2. the King is a collective (Eto, Noro, Tatara), 3. the King does not exist or 4. the King is a figurehead for the true leader. And these options aren't even mutually exclusive.)

I just read a comment by someone who was pissed off by the TG manga's ending, even going as far as saying he'll never read anything by that author again, and that he's very hopeful about the anime since it's heavily deviating from the manga. Haha, that guy will be surprised at the end... (Actually, the deviation isn't really major when you consider that the Anteiku arc is almost independent of previous events and that the manga's ending is basically a partial reset.)

I think the manga's ending might actually be because of the anime's alternate story line. Whenever I read the manga, I feel like Ishida was originally setting up a different arc after the Kanou arc, but then he changed his mind and began to hurriedly set up the Anteiku arc. What happened during the Kanou arc that might have changed his mind? The decision to make an anime and the acceptance of his proposal for the anime to follow this alternate storyline by the anime director. The Anteiku arc allows the two alternate storylines to converge again.
