I wanted to see the back tattoo, too, Ishida trolled around with saying he might reveal it xD

I never supported the Uta-is-the-OEK theory in any way, it never was plausible. Uta is a normal Ghoul with both eyes as a kakugan, and Arima was the OEK. Uta was just a peacemaker in the 4th ward, and if he was the original OEK, he'd have to be much older.

Also: Uta stated he got bored with the troublesome role of a peacemaker. Being a King is even more bothersome, I doubt he'd have wanted to do that.

Furthermore, Uta, from the very beginning, was obsessed with Renji. I'm so happy they had a reunion and are still friends. I doubt Uta would want to be a king when he could have fought with Renji instead.

Not to mention, someone like Uta would have probably easily killed Yomo if he were a one-eyed ghoul, since he wanted them both to go full out and decide it. No matter how mysterious it is, Uta is a perfectly normal ghoul, and we've only ever seen him eat parts of a human. Eto was foreshadowed to be a OEG, by being able to eat a daifuku, while Uta was never seen eating anything, so there was no foreshadowing in anyway, if Ishida had wanted Uta to be the OEK, I suppose he'd have atleast had Uta drink juice or something.

I just see no reason why Uta should have ever been the OEK, especially since Uta's goals and motives required using someone else as the OEK without being him himself.

As some people say, most of Ishida's art of Uta shows him with only one eye, but this is probably a reference to Kaneki, who is one-eyed, and it was Uta who made his mask, and he wanted to "see the eye that is usually covered".

I don't think Uta was ever intended to be the OEK.
