^^Eh...I was more so indirectly pointing out the contradictions. The OEK's survival is crucial to inspire ghouls to fight and Eto dedicated a book to him and her kind to install hope and confidence, but then Eto's like "lol, Kaneki, promise me you'll kill the OEK. I'll help u out and everything, u know where I'm at, kthxbai!"

In all this "who is the OEK?" hype, Eto's motives and influence get scarily ignored. It's someone she has a lot of faith in and is sure will show up soon and start revolution, but she also wants them dead. If the OEK is someone else, for what purpose did she include Kaneki in her plans and why does she want him dead? It's counterproductive having the OEK as a leader in a revolution, but kill him off before it gets started isn't it? Unless we're to assume that Eto doesn't really think he can kill him and is trying to get the OEK moving by making an offensive move.

Eto's motive just became really weird. That's why the only way I can rationalize it at the moment is by interpreting it as Eto portraying him as a martyr and reaping the benefits. She already has many sympathizers and the death of the King my further the outrage and support.
