Hey. Might as well just join on this little thread here.

Personally I vouch for one of the most popular theories, aka Haise being Kaneki after he lost his memories.

Personally I want Haise to be his own character because I like his personality so much, but then again it seems just as likely that Kaneki and Haise is the same person.

Let me state why I personally believe this theory.



What we know about Haise is:

-Met Akira as a new Rank 3 Investigator somewhere between the end of TG and the beginning of TG:re.

-Was ordered to learn the higher rank skills from Akira. The order came from Arima.

-His hair was whiter back when he first met Akira, which I assume was approximately 2.9 years ago or so.

-He is currently a Rank 1 Investigator affiliated with Akira's team.

-He is the mentor of the Quinckles Squad(Quinx). He is supposed to become a stronger investigator than Arima, and help the squad gain that level too.



-He likes books.

-He has the same morals as Kaneki.

-He looks up to Arima as a parental figure. (Which also adds up to the theory)

-He is a Half-Ghoul with kakugan on his left eye.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Well how does all these points add up some people may ask?

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Well let me start from the top.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">After Kaneki supposedly died Haise suddenly appeared as a Rank 3 Investigator by orders from Arima. Arima which is the person which stabbed Kaneki in the head twice suddenly brings in a new Half-Ghoul investigator that looks exactly like Kaneki?! Well that is rather suspicious.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">A lot of time has passed since TG apparently. And Haise has some slight differences from Kaneki, like the white hair, Haise has black, white and a gray colored hair. But the thing is that just what I assume is a few years before TG:re his hair was pretty much 70% White.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">The director of CCG wants to create a soldier stronger than Arima. Now... Let me quote a scene from chapter 143.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Director: "We MUST defeat the One-Eyed Owl... ...No, the One-Eyed King of the Aogiri Tree, no matter what it takes."

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Director: "And we really don't know what will come out of it..."

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">*Picture of Kaneki's information stampled, ERASED*

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Director: "Kishou. The ownership right are yours, what are you going to do about the name?"

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Arima: "Leave it to me."

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">This leads me to believe they were talking about using Half-Ghouls as investigators. As you can see there were someone else's information stroked over as ERASED in Chapter 143, that could be another Half-Ghoul investigator? Who knows. That isn't really a part of my theory.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">But if this is true, and Arima is supposed to make him a stronger soldier than himself, then the traits we've seen to now would make sense. He looks up to Arima as a parental figure, probably be he raised him to be an investigator or such.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Haise likes books just like Kaneki, and he has the same morals, not to mention he looks exactly like him... But why doesn't Haise know he is Kaneki if that is the case? Well that's as obvious as the theory suggests that he lost his memories.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">How did he lose his memories you might ask? And how did he survive getting pierced through the head?

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Well basically... Kaneki survived getting stabbed through the head once, and he pulled the quinque out again. The second time he could do that, he completely flat down collapsed.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">IRL people lose their memories, from lets say a car crash, or getting shot in the head. It wouldn't surprise me if Kaneki lost his memories from that.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">"But it didn't seem like Arima had any intention in capturing him?", well as you might have noticed Arima knew Kaneki's name, which I imagine to probably be because the director already had plans of create Haise back then.

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">

<p style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.6000003814697px;">Anyways.. That is what I have for now. I might come back to this later, but I don't currently see a point in adding any more information to this case. For now. Keep the thinking up :-)
