Hmmm. I honestly don't think Hideyoshi is dead, in the anime or the manga. I know a lot of people think he is, but there is one thing that is annoying me (you know, other then the fact it was NOT confirmed he had died in the anime) that if Hideyoshi is alive in the manga, and it turns out he is actually a pretty big player, then when it gets animated (which it will, even thought people say the series were done badly. It still gained quite a lot of fans) they'd have to somehow twist the story around to have Hideyoshi alive. Which could easily be avoided by simply having Hideyoshi not die at the end. It is still unknown in both anime and manga. They left it up to watchers views, until they reveal the truth. I know it's annoying but true :/

There are facts on both sides of field, for him alive and him dead. Which by the way has almost been debunked everytime...but yah know.

Anyway! I've read quite a few theories on Hideyoshi. I have to say, even thought it is a very long shot, I love the idea of Hide being the One Eye King! That would be so cool! I know people think Kaneki is most likely the king, but I disagree because that wouldn't make sense, we've been following Kaneki through the whole story. He started out as a human, he wasn't born as a half ghoul...now Hideyoshi wasn't either, but we don't know. What he could really be hiding is that he is half ghoul. Shrugs. Hideyoshi hides quite a lot of things. It would certainly be interesting if he did turn out to be the king. It would fuck with Kaneki's mind even either.

Or maybe Hideyoshi is the next King and he doesn't know it? There are so many ideas and thoughts that could be packed into that small story-line. I honestly think it's a great plot device! Lol. Even thought it is, as I said, a long shot.

Hideyoshi is a very popular character (which is strange considering he is only a side character that doesn't get much panel time anymore) which is why he'll most likely get given a much bigger role to play later on. And it's a bit fishy, considering all the things he knew and the actions he was able to take.

Quite a lot of people (who aren't really his fans by the way) want him to stay human, but I find that boring. Wouldn't it be interesting if Kaneki, having this fear that Hide would hate him if he found out he was ghoul, that Kaneki would someday hurt Hide, finds out Hide was hiding the fact he was a half-ghoul along too? It would basically be showing him and everyone else that ghouls can live without being detected, even by other ghouls unlike Touka who is recognized by other ghouls. I'd find that fascinating.

All in all, I think Hide will come out play a big part. For many reasons and I'm looking forward to it. Haha!
