Haven’t there even been some crack theories that Hide is the leader of the clowns? He’s too young to be the leader but I can see him selling CCG info to Itori or something, and that witch’s servant thing from the play always seemed suspicious.

Anon, what crack theories haven’t there been about Hide?

The school play is one of the most perplexing maybe-clues that Ishida has used in the whole goddamn manga. @coromoor as a nice break down of all the different things it might mean, over here [x].

But I can totally see Hide acting as an information broker like Chie. The two of them have a lot in common, and I think Hide would be really good at it. I don’t necessarily think that that’s where canon will go – I think Hide has a larger role to play with the key actors than that, but it is totally a role I can see him in, and I’ve read some great fics that go that direction with his character and his actions post-Anteiku raid.

At the end of the day, we don’t know all that much about Hide, other than his devotion to Kaneki. One day, Ishida-sensei will tell us. 

But until then, here are some more crazy 100% crack Hide theories that I don’t at all believe –

Hide is part of the imperial family
Hide is from the future
Hide is the OEK from the past, traveling to the future
Hide is the Yasuhisa’s secret never mentioned older brother
Hide is from the same orphanage as Amon
Hide is a kitsune/some other kind of yokai that now totally exist within TG canon
Hide is and has always been a robot made entirely of quinque steel

Okay, I’m done. I’ll stop now.

Please give us answers sensei, I’m getting desperate.
