The Questionable origin of Kou.
Time to play my favorite game: Make a meta I wrote at 4am that I should have re-written almost a week ago make sense.
Okay so explaining everything strange suspicious behind “Kou” in Chapter 127.
First very early on in the chapter we are brought in to see the Oggai targeting a ghoul bar owner and we are given this interesting piece of information. Oggai’s squad leader is gone.
This brings up two interesting questions: 1. Why is Ishida bothering telling us this in a story and if it matters where are they? And 2. Who was the squad leader?
Question 2 is easy to answer. The person who is always in front of the round eyed mask wearing oggai was this person…
You’ll notice something very interesting about’s the Oggai’s missing leader’s hair style apparent age and face… it’s very similar to the newly arrived Kou…
Now lets get to the appearance of Kou. Kou was being chased by at least 3 ghoul investigators at the time Naki found him. It seems like a little much for one kid who’s not fighting back… But when Naki attacked the investigator said something that confused me.
“Stick to the plan.” or in another translation “remember the plan.” What plan? Surely they don’t mean stick to chasing this random kid while the white suits attack? There has to be more to it than that… Like maybe the investigator was trying to steel his comrades to make things look realistic even though they might die…
There’s also Kou’s general seeming lack of knowledge. While we know the heightened senses of ghoul vary somewhat. (more so in quinx who might only have one or two senses heightened) it seems odd that Kou is unable to really verify that the people around them are ghouls…
There are of course other things that could make Kou being an Oggai questionable such as the fact Kou has double Kakugan.
But it’s not that strange if you remember quinx can have double kakugan under certain circumstances. Also if the Oggai were originally garden kids Arima even said different ghoul/human hybrids showed different traits. Also Oggai always wear masks that obscure how their eyes look in battle, so we have no idea what they look like beneath. Mix those three facts together and the line of two kakugan = full ghoul gets hazy.
All and all I have 3 ideas…
Kou is the missing Oggai leader and a mole for Furuta to find the black goat’s base. It seems just like Fruit man to let investigators die in order to sneak a spy into black goat’s midst by appealing to their sympathy for a child. Ironic he pushes the stereotype ghouls are evil to reach his goals. (Plus we all know what Akira said, “Kindness will be the end of you.”)
Kou is the missing Oggai leader and they ran away for some reason. If they weren’t trying to set something up it would explain why it was so important that the ghoul investigators caught them.
It’s actually a random new ghoul kid, (Though that seems strange so late in the story.)
