If Kaneki's life as a ghoul was a measuring stick for the lifestyle of a half-ghoul, then Eto's life in the 24th ward was not a happy one. She might have had Noro to protect her but its implied that he technically died at some point earlier to the beginning of the manga. The fact that she eats at least ghouls that she deems too weak shows she is rather cold in regards to her own species. In fact there was no record of her attacking humans until the CCG deliberately went after her.

If Kaneki's life as a ghoul was a measuring stick for the lifestyle of a half-ghoul, then Eto's life in the 24th ward was not a happy one. She might have had Noro to protect her but its implied that he technically died at some point earlier to the beginning of the manga. She lived in the 24th ward where she was surrounded by ghouls meant she was exposed to a high level of violence given the CCG's knowledge of the high density of ghouls living in the area and that the ghouls had to live cramped in the same area in spite of their territorial and isolationist nature.It gets worse when you realize she was surrounded by perpetually hungry ghouls and hybrid flesh is considered to be nearly addictive to ghouls. The fact that she eats at least ghouls that she deems too weak shows she is rather cold in regards to her own species. She treats her subordinates as disposable and even sacrifices her own father to be research, so she can create super-soldiers like herself. In fact there was no record of her attacking humans until the CCG deliberately went after her. \n

So why help ghouls in their fight against humans if she doesn't care? Because she enjoys the violence in the war between the two groups. Its why she butted into the Tsukiyama incident even though there was little tactical value in participating. She wants to see Tokyo burn in the fires of the CCG-Aogiri war. What's more, when she realizes Kaneki's existence, she doesn't try to convert him to Aogiri but try to bring him into that same mindset of carnage and nihilism.

* JAIL is recognized as canon by the manga with the introduction of Shiki Kijima to the plot. The latter has a bio in volume 5 of :re that states hhe was still pursuing a Ghoul (whom we know is Rio) and his quinque, Rotten Follow, is stated to have been made from that Ghoul's brother.

[[WMG: Shikorae, the nightmarish and recently introduced Aogiri member of unknown origin is Rio]].

Chapter 40 introduces several Aogiri members hired by Kanae to kill the Quinx. Two of these are identified as members of the Yamori clan, and are subordinates of Naki, while the young woman is a subordinate of Tatara's. A fourth Ghoul is only later revealed when it ambushes Saiko. Additionally, this Ghoul is only given a name and no origin. A theory states that this character, named ''Shikorae'', is actually Rio from the spin-off game JAIL.

* One of the paths which Rio can take in the game has him join an unknown individual, rather than going to Anteiku. The individual's seemingly harmless approach indicates that this character may be Eto, who invites Rio to join Aogiri.
* A close-up panel of Shikorae's face reveals stitches around his eyelids, very reminiscent of Kanae's after Eto tortured her. The implications are that Rio, after his recruitment, was tortured much like Takizawa and Kanae were, explaining his deranged behaviour and appearance. We know from Takizawa that the type of torture used can drastically change a person, with the latter barely resembling his former CCG self.
* Rio's short bio in JAIL states he likes striped patterns. Both Rio and Shikorae wear clothing with such patterns featured prominently.
* Shikorae's first appearance corresponded with the release of JAIL. He reappears in a panel in chapter 58, which came out within a week of the JAIL scenario book.

* Shiki Kijima's birthday entry on the 2016 calendar includes a coded message, with some of the text written in red. If these characters are put together, it spells out [[spoiler: "Furuta - is - Ghoul - Agent"]].






to:

\n\n* There's two details that could invalidate this theory, though. The first is that Nishiki was pursuing Torso as part of a group, based on the things he said. And the second is Nishiki's behavior during the entire encounter with the Quinx -- he isn't acting like his pursuit of Torso is personal. If he were pursuing Kimi's killer, he wouldn't be so casual about everything. He decides to "play" with the Quinx for a while, toying with them when he was fully capable of killing them all immediately. This allows Torso to escape, something he likely wouldn't have allowed if it were about avenging his lover.

* If you keep in mind [[spoiler: Kanou's birdcage rant from the original series]], his Tarot Card that Ishida made having the number 5 [[spoiler: as the Roman numeral V]] on it as opposed to the number 8 like the cards of the other Clowns, and the connections between [[spoiler: V and the One-Eyed Ghouls]], there is a possibility that [[spoiler: Furuta is a One-Eyed Ghoul]]. This makes Touka mistaking him for Kaneki have deeper meaning, as well.

* [[WMG: An old one, but Torso killed Kimi, causing Nishiki to seek vengeance against him]].
It's an old theory, but one that makes perfect sense, and has never really been resolved. As Serpent, Nishiki hunted and devoured his own kind, all in order to become strong enough to challenge--and presumably kill--Torso. Torso is a SerialKiller who targets scarred women, and what does Kimi have on her shoulder? A bite scar from when Nishiki fed on her in desperation. It could be that he holds himself responsible either for not protecting her, or for giving her a mark that put her in Torso's sights to begin with.

The fight against Noro forced him to pull out ''all'' the stops just to survive. He pushes himself far past his limits to keep up a stream of fire against Noro, and we actually see the "cage" around his transplanted koukaku start to bend and break. Finally, while its difficult to see, the last shot of his face makes it appear that his left eye has become a complete ghoul kakugan.

[[WMG: Kaneki's aunt was at least partially imaginary]]

Chapter 53 reveals that [[spoiler: Kaneki's self-sacrificing and saintly mother beat him to the point where he begged her to have mercy]]. Kaneki clearly revered his mother a great deal, so it might be that his abusive aunt was his mind's way of coping with her [[spoiler: abusive tendencies]], by creating a figure to assign blame to in her place. The story about his abuse at the hands of his mother's sister has never been corroborated with anyone besides [[UnreliableNarrator Kaneki himself]], and while there are plenty of good reasons for that, it is something to think about.

[[WMG: Noro]]
Noro, the highly regenerative ghoul whom never speaks and has an odd kagune with mouths, is actually a living detached kagune himself. In Tokyo Ghoul:RE chapter 43 we are shown Eto using a kagune that spoke and had mouths and limbs. Furthermore during all of Tokyo Ghoul:RE we are seeing more and more odd kagune abilities. In the same chapter 43, Eto also explains that the shape a Kagune takes is based on imagination and creativity of the user. It seems like Noro is just a really powerful detached kagune of Eto's that is independent up to a point. He can only do simple commands really, and it would also explain his regeneration and apatite.

The seemingly innocent and unimportant junior partner of Shiki Kijima is definitely more than he seems. Sharp-eyed readers realized he'd made an EarlyBirdCameo in the original series, and was the young man that Touka mistook for Kaneki when she visited Kamii University. Suspicions have been raised with the twist in Chapter 50, with him [[spoiler: suddenly killing a fellow Investigator and mentioning Tsukiyama by the alias he used at the Ghoul Restaurant -- Mr. MM]]. So what does this all mean? Furuta is: [[spoiler: Souta, the most mysterious of the Clown Gang]].

[[WMG: Eto tortured [[spoiler: Takizawa Seidou]] and transformed him into the deranged shell of his former self encountered at the Auction battle]].
It's fairly obvious that [[spoiler: Takizawa]] underwent severe torture--including being forced to ''eat'' his mother--but many assume that his suffering was at the hands of Tatara, a ghoul who would have good reason to torment one of Houji's subordinates. However, [[spoiler: Kanae]] now shows similar "symptoms" after being tortured by Eto herself--almost drunken behavior while murderously rampaging and muttering to himself. That and the fact that Kanou spoke to Eto as though the new Owl were her property, could mean that it was her who brutalized him until his mind broke.

Kaneki told us that a story with him as the lead will be tragic. Undoubtedly, Tokyo Ghoul ended on a sour note. However, Haise's story is yet to be finished, notwithstanding the fact that he's an amnesiac Ken. Mayhaps his fate will end on a higher note than the last time.

[[WMG: Hide is a member of the Washuu Clan]]
Kaneki's missing MuggleBestFriend is one of the more mysterious characters in the series, with almost no information concerning him. However, he's shown in both the main series ''and'' the side novels to have an unusual knowledge of Ghouls and several talents that are unusual for an ordinary college student. We also learn that at least one male from each generation has used the same character in their personal name -- "Yoshi/Kichi" -- which is switched from the first character to the last with each generation. We have Yoshiu, Tsuneyoshi, Yoshitoki, and......Matsuri. The latest generation seems to break this tradition, but we are told that Matsuri is "the '''oldest''' son" of Yoshitoki Washuu. Meaning that Yoshitoki has another son somewhere, who might have a name that ends with -yoshi. Close observation reveals that Hide has a CharacterTic of scratching his cheek when he's nervous or being deceptive -- with a flashback showing him doing this when he vaguely tells Kaneki that he just moved to the 20th Ward with his mother. In other words, Hide was uneasy about discussing his home situation with Kaneki and seemingly never offered to let his best friend move in with his family to escape his own abusive one. Most likely, "Nagachika" is his mother's maiden name and he has long been concealing his connection to the illustrious first family of CCG.

[[WMG: Floppy]]
Theories about the mysterious "Floppy", the person or group of interest to both Aogiri and CCG.
* Amon is involved, though it isn't clear whether "Floppy" refers to a single individual or a group. We know that Donato is interested in a "certain Ghoul" implied to be Amon, and that Aogiri did something to "Floppy" that angers Ayato. We also know from the audio that Hinami listened to that "Floppy" has drawn attention by using a badge to impersonate an Investigator. Most likely, Amon escaped from Aogiri at some point during the experiments and has been pursuing his own goals.
