I honestly think amnesia and brainwashing are complete BS theories, no offence. First off, it is cheap and boring literary device used in most sub-tier mangas. Secondly, even if it were to be the case, I highly doubt it worked out so conveniently for the CCG. The brainwashing theory essentially states that since Kaneki was pierced through his skull twice, he becomes a perfect blank slate for the CCG to mold at their leisure. Just how simplistic does that sound? Brainwashing theories in my opinion are complete and utter asspulls.

From both a logical and literary standpoint, it is extremely unlikely that Kaneki was brainwashed.
