Talk:Akihiro Kanou/@comment-30331087-20160928220012

Ugh. 3rd time typing this comment (damn you computer!) so I'll try to be brief about it this time.

So what exactly is Kanou's relationship with the Clowns? We saw Eto call Furuta a Clown of Kanou, which could have been forshadowing of him being Souta (hint, it was) could've been how he acts like a clown for Kanou, or how Kanou is related to the Clowns as a whole. It also could've been all 3.

Kanou could be the leader that Uta and Donato are going to go see (As I understand it, Rue is told a few days after Cochlea. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) Of course, that begs the question: Why Roma? Uta warned her about Hirako (who Uta didn't really struggle with), which tells me that Roma isn't the strongest Clown. And if Kanou's their leader, rescuing him should be their top priority, unless he specifically told them not to. Of couse, Roma says Furuta asked her to do this, so that raises even more questions. Like whether Furuta is actually allied with the Clowns, or if he's just using them. So Kanou could "Clown King," but because of the reasons listed above I don't really think so.

There's a good possibility that he's a member of the Clowns, or at least a very close associate. One of the few things we know about the Clowns motives is that they adhere to hedonism. Hedonism is defined as the ethical theory that pleasure (in the sense of the satisfaction of desires) is the highest good and proper aim of human life. Kanou certainly follows hedonism in that he fufills whatever his desires may be, seeing as he loves to desconstruct and reconstruct all sorts of things, regardless of the consquences.

That's all I can really think of off the top of my head.
