Talk:One-Eyed King/@comment-25349497-20160619001508

There likely isnt a King right now, and that the King is just an ideological concept.

Rather, that there is a King, but no one was strong enough to step up to the plate to fill these shoes. At one point, it appears Eto tried to become a King, but was not strong enough to do so.

So she put her hopes in Kaneki (or someone else) being strong enough  to give the 'freedom' to ghouls that she so desires. Kaneki keeps being painted as a King of sorts, and he does have the necessary power to become one. Look at all the art of him being portrayed right now, he looks like some kind of villainous pirate.

Of course because of it being a concept, there might be more than one king, and they might not exist to any one side, especially since V/the CCG seems to be producing half ghouls at current and possible genetically modified humans.
