Why must so much of the fanbase be so opposed to the fact Eto is the One-Eyed King? Despite the fact the series its self is saying as much? Or even the facts that Aogiri's rise coincides with when she went into hiding for 10 years? Or the fact she was the only known One eyed ghoul in existence prior to Kanou's experiments? Or the fact kanou stated Aogiri traces it's origins to Yoshimura, who then in turn states the King is his child?



Nope. All they care about is that "its too obvious", or "she doesn't have the charisma to be a king", and my personal favorites; "she can't be the king because I want to see a ghoul stronger than Arima" and "She is inferior to Arima, she can't be a king!"

Anyways I don't know about the "worst fanbase" because I've heard that for about seventeen different series, it's just that every fanbase is made of humans, and usually the vocal minority of the fanbase is the only part that people see.



As for Eto being the "King" I'm pretty sure it's been stated at this point that she's both the "Owl" and the "King" so I don't see a need to question it, I mean she hasn't said so herself yet, but I still think the mangaka has tried to spell it out for us.



"she can't be the king because I want to see a ghoul stronger than Arima" and "She is inferior to Arima, she can't be a king!"



Problem with that is when they "fought" she was laughing her ass off and it obviously wasn't a serious fight (She just retrieved her father and left after the little tuffle with Arima.), I mean yeah she lost an arm, but when she can basically generate a living armour around herself at will I don't think it's much of a problem for her, in an actual drawn out battle things may have gone differently, but I think that for now Eto is supposed to represent the pinnacle of Ghouls, and Arima is the pinnacle of the investigators, unless something else happens. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13" I also see people still in denial about Haise being Kaneki, they just refuse to believe that their perfect insane Kaneki could become one of those horrible investigators like Haise! (Even though it's obvious he's going to get his memory back.) and that the real Kaneki is in hiding somewhere.Anyways I don't know about the "worst fanbase" because I've heard that for about seventeen different series, it's just that every fanbase is made of humans, and usually the vocal minority of the fanbase is the only part that people see.As for Eto being the "King" I'm pretty sure it's been stated at this point that she's both the "Owl" and the "King" so I don't see a need to question it, I mean she hasn't said so herself yet, but I still think the mangaka has tried to spell it out for us.Problem with that is when they "fought" she was laughing her ass off and it obviously wasn't a serious fight (She just retrieved her father and left after the little tuffle with Arima.), I mean yeah she lost an arm, but when she can basically generate a living armour around herself at will I don't think it's much of a problem for her, in an actual drawn out battle things may have gone differently, but I think that for now Eto is supposed to represent the pinnacle of Ghouls, and Arima is the pinnacle of the investigators, unless something else happens.

To be fair, there is some veracity bolstering their skepticism. I use the word "some" loosely.



Souta: "How do I put this, does "One Eyed King" really exist?



Nico: Such a guy doesn't exist. It's a pretty simple story... (whisper)"



Despite telling his fellow Pierrot compatriot this, he relays the traditional "One Eyed King" legend to Kaneki in chapter 87. If he was lying to anyone, it was to Kaneki. Albeit it is very much in reason to assume the One Eyed King does not exist as per Nico's vague words. Just like Yoshimura said: "That stuff about the "King" is surely mistaken." I believe that is what Nico really meant when he spoke to Souta. The "King" is truthfully a "Queen"



I suspect "The One Eyed King" is merely a ruse for Eto to remain under the radar and keep every semblance of her identity undisclosed to V. It is also the reason Tatara tried to use Kaneki as a redherring or substitute for Eto in chapter 54, but his "eye was no good" because his kakugan manifested on the left whereas the One Eyed "King's" manifests on the right. Lastly, it appears only Tatara and Noro are aware that Eto is the "King" - evidenced by their participation alongside Eto in the Anteiku Raid to procure Yoshimura. Tatara flat out says: "The "King" is going to pass" during the battle. The word "King" also appeared in quotation marks.



All evidence shows Eto is the "King", so I don't see much point in refuting it either. And some of their reasons you listed for their denials are dumb as hell.

I agree when you say "fought", because it was terribly onesided.



I am very confident Arima would have killed her if the battle continued. In fact, it seems obvious to me. She only survived Arima for the same reasons her fellow SSS rated ghoul father did, who encountered him twice: she hauled ass. No, she wasn't "laughing her ass off" when Arima arrived. "You're here!" She knew who he was and knew she needed to stop screwing around. She legit went straight for the kill and could not even scathe Arima. That's when she in no words basically said "**** it. I'm only here for dad anyway. I'm out!"



The only reason Eto made it out alive was because Kaneki broke Arima's IXA and she fled before Arima could properly finish her off with Narukami.



If Eto was as powerful as Arima, not only would she actually be able to touch him, she would not have fled and made comments like "Arm getting cut off...getting stabbed with a Quinque. Been a while since I had it this rough. That guy's really ruthless..." Eto is currently the most powerful known ghoul, but Arima is in constant God Mode. Until proven otherwise, he is currently the strongest force in the TG universe. To be fair, there isveracity bolstering their skepticism.

Its been practically confirmed to be the case for many of the reasons you pointed out, but even if she doesn't call herself the king and hides the fact that she is that doesn't change that they are still one and the same.
