Who will intervene on Kaneki and Arima?

This is course isn’t the obvious next course of action for the story, but I think it’s safe to say that this duel can’t go on without a repeat of V14, so someone has to step in and rescue Kaneki, despite his wishes.

Some people are saying Eto or maybe Furuta will chaotic neutral the situation up to keep Kaneki alive, but my bet is on Amon.



Since we realized Amon was still alive, the entire fandom has been hyped to high hell over the reunion of these frienemies, especially considering the how prophesied it is and how profound it is explicitly stated by Donato to be for Kaneki’s character.

These two are going to meet. It is going to be wild and revealing and totally turn the story into the direction it needs to go for Ken to finally leave Haise Sasaki behind for good.

I can’t imagine a better situation for that to happen in than this. I mean, all the pieces are there.



Amon knows his way around Cochlea. Arima will definitely recognize him. This triforce of pure CCG, one eyed ghoul agent slave, and deformed eldritch horror CCG alumni is too perfect of a storm not happen.

The logical problem here is what exactly will happen?



Let’s say these three all do stand off or, at least, exist around each other in this big ass chrome room. What would happen next?



Would Amon rescue Kaneki? Why? Is that why he’s there in the first place? Why would he even be at cochlea? For Donato? To kill him? Maybe on his revenge quest he notices Kaneki and realizes this is an opportunity he can’t pass up. He always wanted a “talk” with Kaneki. To understand him. Because deep down, Amon knew they were similar and despite not knowing anything about him, he felt a sort of bond that he couldn’t even explain.



Would he fight off Arima and join Kaneki? That doesn’t make sense, though. Why would he just intervene? It would have to mean something.

But what? This is about where I start to run out of theory juice. I’m better at nudging an idea at someone who can put the pieces I threw on the table together.



What do you guys think?
