Unless Hide’s talking about Arima as the Washuu who was “in the way”, it might be indicative that Hide (the witch’s servant) really has been commiserating with Eto (the witch). 

More importantly, there seems to be a circle here. The Washuu were suspicious of Hide, but V’s plans were being impeded by the Washuu. That put’s Hide on V’s tail to complete the circuit, as Eto’s accomplice. She was being tracked by both the Washuu and V since her birth, and was already using her mother’s notes to guide her in the truth about them.  

Granted, Ishida writes that the witch’s servant was “tricked” into working for them, but I get the feeling it’s really not all that cut and dry. More like, he was riding the coat-tails to get closer to the prince. 

Anyway, I’ll take a stab and say that Hide had a crazy amount of dirt on the Washuu and has been threatening to blackmail them for some time—

and the Washuu knew it. But how did the Washuu know their secrets were being ratted out? Who was tipping them off?

Well, maybe nobody was. 

[Crack Theory Time!]

Maybe they knew Hide has been a threat from the start. Because while the Chika and Yoshi in 永近英良 (Nagachika Hideyoshi) and 和修時/吉時 (Washuu Chiki/Yoshitoki) are different, the Garden kids all notoriously use very strange spelling for their names. 

“like a knight,” she says. but “Kishi” is usually spelled 騎士, not 貴将

“Yusa” is a common name, by typically spelled 結沙 instead of 夕作; Shio has an unusual spelling, as does Hairu, and Nimura’s is a play on his birthday, etc.

The point I’m getting at is that I think it’s time to dig up the old theory that Hide related to the Washuu. I remember hearing that he might be a nephew of Iyo’s, or that he might even be from the Garden himself, sent as a child to keep an eye on Kaneki (under the circumstance that his father actually was of great importance and that his death was notable).

If that’s the case, V has the right to be wary of the Washuu. If one of their people (two when you’re counting Rize) is out running amok with their secrets, endangering the precarious infrastructure of their rule… 

We’d better buckle up. There’s still a good number of holes that need filling, and it’s hard to make any educated guesses about V’s motivation, but right now the focus should be that they’re still out there. We know they’re still looking to be in control, even if it benefits them to have the Washuu out of the picture.
