Talk:Hideyoshi Nagachika/@comment-26190399-20160228163527

Okay theory time. I know some have commented that they believe Hide could be the '86' guy in Banjou's group and that is a possibility. However, I'm leaning towards Hide either being a 'breeder' like Furuta and Rize or being the OEK himself. We know next to nothing about Hide's background. Not even a birthday or blood type. For all we know, he could have come from Sunlit Garden and it's no coincidence that he felt a connection to Kaneki when they first met. In the very first chapter of Tokyo Ghoul when Kaneki pointed out Rize as his crush, Hide seemed to try to discourage it as though he already knew who and what she was. On top of that, Hide knows a lot about ghouls. So much so, that Akira questioned it. We all know how smart and cunning Hide is that Nishiki even said that he was dangerous. It would really be no surprise if Hide turns out to be the OEK. In chapter 141 Tatara did say that, "the king is going to pass through." At the time, most of us assumed (myself included) that it was Eto but who's to say that it was Hide that he meant. Now, that Amon has made his appearance, it's a matter of time for Hide to show up since the king is supposed to appear soon. This could all turn out to be nothing and maybe Hide is just a mysterious human. Plot wise, it would be a huge bombshell if the person Kaneki treasures the most is the infamous OEK.
