Talk:One-Eyed King/@comment-26959834-20150911214054

Whether or not Eto is the King, I'm fine with the result. If she's the King, then so be it.

However, I do have this feeling that there's more to it than we know. We can never be quite sure of ourselves. There has been no confirmation. When Kanae asked Eto the 'question' and she responded with a yes, that 'question' could have meant anything. One Eyed-Owl, if you remember. The story of the One Eyed-Owl could have possibly been gone around the Ghoul world since the Owl Operation.

This could be said for the Kaneki and Yoshimura confrontation well. When Kaneki confronted Yoshimura to ask if Eto was indeed his child, he first murmured One Eyed-King before correcting himself to the One Eyed-Owl.

Eto was not born the way she currently is. Someone had to be there. I doubt the diary left to her which was written by Ukina was enough to twist her mentality up the point of her completely having disdain for humanity. Like I said, someone had to be there to completely and possibly manipulate her mind.

And I feel that this person could have also recruited Tatara and describe to him about the plans of Aogiri.

There have been several hints regarding the Arima theory, and most refuse to believe it. I for one don't toss away theories lightly if they have concrete claims backing it up, Though one of the many, I noticed no one bringing up this; Arima is described as the 'Knight' in Tokyo Ghoul: JACK and on his Joker card, he is the Knight. The depiction of the One Eyed-King appears that he is wearing a Knight's armor.

Also, Arima being on the Joker card is another thing that should be caught wind of. There are three on the Joker cards. Juuzou with his pure white hair during his sadism stage in Tokyo Ghoul, Takizawa during his Ghoul/Owl corrupt stage, and then there's Arima. Ishida has described Arima as 'sadistic and massive' and that he keeps that idea in mind. We, as the readers, should also keep it in mind.

I don't feel it's necessary to go into the blockage of Arima's right eye at times. This hint of a character possibly being or becoming a Ghoul has been shown with cases like Takizawa and Amon.

I believe there is a reason why Ishida is holding out on deliviering Arima's backstory. There's an important element within it that cannot be shared yet.

Like I said, if Eto is indeed the King, then I'm fine with that. However, I believe on the back of my mind that there's something more to it than that. And no. I would not consider this to be 'bad writing' on Ishida's part if Arima indeed revealed that Arima was indeed the King. Why? Because there were plenty of hints. Hints in which those who stayed by the Eto guess, refused to believe. For those who believed the Arima story, it should come as no surprise.

I respect both theories. However, I will have mine until the conclusion is met in the story. If those of the Arima side are wrong, you should not be angry. Because similar to the Arima theory, there were hints of it being Eto. For those of the Eto side, you should not be upset with the revealing as well if it indeed does not turn out to be Eto but instead another character. Again, there were many hints.

As fans, we shouldn't bash our fellow peers for their beliefs. Their theories just go to show how much they're willing to dive deep into the story. This shows our love for the franchise and for Ishida's work.

In conclusion, I believe that for whatever Ishida has in plan, it will be promising. That's the kind of writer that he is.
