Question Who will join the Clowns?

Agent Phrank · Apr 2, 2016

Candidates
1. Kaneki

He is portrayed as a clown in the one-shot:

The clown mask appears at HySy:

-
Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs

Silence of the Lambs cover appears in One-shot:

Red Dragon cover in Hide's room:

Red Dragon (prequel) - > Silence of the Lambs (sequel)

2. Seidou Takizawa

He's such a clown:

3. Hideyoshi Nagachika

The Witch's Servant: He dressed in a jester's outfit for the school play.

Similar to Kaneki's future position as the OEK:

Magic Day:

The Magician

4. Kanou's Experiments/Hybrids

This is assuming that Ganbo was one of Kanou's experiments or attempts at enhancement.

They tend to be abnormally larger and slightly retarded with a few exceptions.

Ganbo could have been hired or brought by Furuta.

Does Furuta plan to use Kanou's new generation of experiments to the clown's benefit? Kanou has been actively cooperating with the Aogiri Tree but it seems like that relationship won't last for much longer.

Are there any other characters that might join the clowns in the future?

On the other hand:

Uta's Ambiguous Loyalty

Is Uta truly loyal to the clowns?

My suspicion is primarily based on the anecdote he whispered to Mutsuki. {Chapter 19 [1] [2]}

Uta said:
The operation failed. Help won't come.

Uta was presumably informed by Furuta. Why would Uta provide a subtle clue about a CCG mole to Mutsuki?

The clowns benefit from having Furuta among them.
Itori's mad response to learning about the trashed restaurant (which Souta frequented):

- - -

It doesn't seem like Uta whispered that on the clowns' behalf. That hint about the CCG mole could invoke the revelation about Shirazu's status (Kanou's dissected guinea pig) to Mutsuki & Urie.

They'll eventually find out.
