Honestly, I'm still baffled why people are still theorizing and arguing over the OEK's identity. The second half of the original series dealt with the mystery of the Owl and the King, with multiple parties stating that the OEO = OEK.

The penultimate chapter revealed who the One-Eyed Owl was, and the finale of the series concluded with Tsuneyoshi Washuu himself stating that the CCG knows the King and the Owl are the same person.

Eto is the character at the center of many significant aspects of the series and pretty much connections everything. She is the one V believes is a danger simply for existing, she is the only known natural Half-Ghoul, she is the author of the novel that paralleled Kaneki's story and acted as an ice breaker for him to ask Rize out. She is always with Tatara and Noro, who are both shown taking orders from her. (Tatara is very subtle, but look back and notice how their interactions go. He is always answering her questions immediately, or consulting her about things. She frequently claims to be acting and speaking for Tatara, but as already stated, when together he's shown very subtly deferring to her.)

Eto is the One-Eyed King. People are just not satisfied with the big reveal of the original series for some reason, and therefore keep thinking we'll get some twist further on when Ishida has already told us.
