Hello Zerocythe, how are you?

I wanted to share a theory I developed about who the OEK is if it's not Eto.

The reason why I'm messaging it to you is because I feel this theory would cause A LOT of arguements on the OEK page, so I want to avoid that.

(Warning, this theory is quite lengthy).

19 years prior to the current events to the series, a man(who we will call 13) who has a wife and son is trying to find a job so he can help his family. One day he is aproached by an old man(Kanou) who offers to pay him a lot of money if he takes place in an experiment. The man agrees and is taken to Kanou's lab. He and a group of other people are placed in incubation pods. Kanou then injects them with a modified form of ROS disease as an early form of One eyed ghoul experiment. All but 2 of the subjects die. 13 and another man survive, but react strangley. Their bodies become encased in some kind of RC shell/cocoon. Kanou wants to continue observing them, but has to destroy the lab because the CCG are starting to investigate his research. He informs the families that there was an accident and gives the familes burnt bodies(decoys) to be cremated.

Meanwhile, in the ruins of the lab, the second surviving subject mutates a humaniod that is part kagune(Noro). It crawls away from the ruins and hides in the shadows of tokyo's wards. Then 13 emerges from his shell, but he has changed drastically. His body has aged to that of a 12-13 year old, no memories, Hybrid. He looked through the remains of the lab and found some of Kanou's research and personal notes. Kanou's whole "World in a birdcage" thing in there. He then wondered Tokyo for a little over a year, observing the relationship between humans and ghouls, emotionless and cold at heart. He began to see what Kanou had tried to achieve and appreciated his new hybrid state. He later learned of V, and believed that they held the secrets of ghoul's origins and what power OEGs truly held.

Around the age of 15, he found Eto. His personallity now cold and deceptive, he manipulated her into believing the world is a cruel place and others deserved pain like her's. He pushed her to cannibilizing until she became a half-kakuja and had her attack the CCG. Eventually he told her to form a group of ghouls(Aogiri) that would strive for ghoul supremacy. He told her to base the foundation of the group off an individual known as the One Eyed King(Himself). The true goal of the group: form an army of powerful ghouls, find Kanou to make OEGs, and destroy V and learn their secrets. While Eto would follow the plan on the ghoul side, 13 would do the same on the human side. He then adopted the name Arima Kishou and work his away up through CCG's ranks.

Fast foward to the end of part 1 of the series, Arima then encounters Kaneki. At first, he tries to kill him like all his other missions before. But when Kaneki starts to reference the books he's read after he is injured, the quotes awaken a memory within Arima's mind. He then spares Kaneki.

Now you're probably wondering who Arima was before his transformation. What do people call the relationship between Arima and Kaneki? A parental bond.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment down below. (Sorry this was so long)
