If he's alive then this is actually pretty good for him. I personally don't think he's dead, he would've done something if he really felt threathend by Mutsucci. By playing dead he could be left alone, also Uta got a lot of information from this. Plus, we know the way Ishida kills his characters:

1.) Introduction > Development > Backstory > Fight > Death

2.) Introduction > Development > Fight > Backstory > Death

So far what we have from Uta is:

Introduction > Some backstory > Fight > Fight > Fight > Death (?)

Doesn't really fit in with Ishida's writing patterns. Also: He has "Superhuman regeneration" so a few stabs to the face shouldn't hurt him. Because: He got 4 knives in the face and was fine, he got stabbed in the stomach and was fine, he got his face slashed horizontally and was fine,he got stabbed all over his body and was fine, he got stabbed in the face again and was fine, got his face slashed again and was fine,and now he gets stabbed and he's dead?

If that's really true than Ishida's writing is really inconsistent, and i doubt Ishida would kill off Uta just like that. Because: He's strong, has a unique ability, is a complicated character, we don't know much about him yet, and he's pretty much Ishida's self-insert.

It would be stupid to kill of a character with so much potential.

If he really is dead then the Clowns just lost their most influential members, the HySy ArtMask shop is closed and the ghouls of the 20th ward are fucked if they break their masks, (while talking about the mask thing rn, Donato's is cracked and Kaneki's is missing his eyepatch, so Kaneki has to go to Uta to fix it, at least), Renji lost his best friend, and we already know Renji knows Uta and Nico are friends and we know that Nico sometime comes to :re so then if Uta's really dead I'm pretty sure Renji's gonna flip his shit tbh.

All signs point to Uta being alive so far, also he's pretty much the most mysterious character rn, he has his kakugan always active for some reason, he can shape-shift, ect.

If he gets killed off like that it's a waste of a good ability reveal, we don't know how his shape-shifting thing works and if he dies then i guess nobody will ever know. And i don't think Ishida would make this Arc focus so much on Uta and his abilty if he didn't want to do something with it.

There's still too much mystery surrounding him to just kill him off, he's had no serious character development and we have no information of how he was so strong back in the day or what he was doing befor he was in the fourth ward. He even says that he "Doesn't know that", sound weird, huh?

If he survives then he has some serious shit on Mutsucci, he knows he loves Sasaki, that he won't hesitate to kill Sasaki, that he would rape a dead body, and that he's female. Some (probaly) good information. While on the topic of Mutsucci, he was saying thing like : "Won't kill, he's mine." meaning that he doesn't wanna kill him, just use him.

Also: Uta definitely moved during the last few panels of chapter 114. We at first see his legs straight and his arm raised, and then his arms are down and his legs and bent and propped up. I would throw in some reference pictures but this is long at it is. And Uta's eyes at first rolled back to the top of his head, and on the next page they were in the middle of his eye. Somebody who's dead can't move their body and eyes.

Uta's played dead for his own gain in the past, when Suzuya stabbed him in the face at the Auction he dropped on the floor, went stiff and didn't move until everybody was gone. I'm guessing he's doing than now.

If he wanted to get out of this whole situation, considering the face that Aura Jr. is there, and Mutsucci will probably notice him, i think Mutsucci will chase him or threathen to kill him, and maybe even really kill him. Once that begins happening Uta could easily regenerate and leave.

Also: Some people have been saying that Uta can make clones, like Donato. I'm not too sure about that, i think the full extent of his powers is just shape-shifting. I mean, we know he and Donato are very similar, eerily so, but i don't think he can.

I'm gonna stop here:

Conclusion: 9\10 chance he's alive guys, no worries. But we won't know for sure until next week. :P
