Or why no one will die, because being friends goes against killing each other, even if Uta finally flips his switch and goes all out. 

First of all, remember, the Clowns are currently playing for time…

…so one might as well make it a little interesting, especially since in Uta’s case we’re aware that he

really

doesn’t like to be bored, which explains why he would not refuse to face Yomo in a fight. 

However, that doesn’t mean that he’s truly after Yomo’s life either, especially considering that he made extra sure to save him last time in the 24th ward, because he always insisted that they are friends:

So why would he kill Yomo now, especially when he’s just supposed to buy time, even if Yomo is the one who came to him? 

I know, I know, his grin at the end of the chapter was super creepy and he’s a Clown, but hey it’s nothing new that he always loved fighting with Yomo almost to the death:

So no worries there, Yomo is strong and Uta has no reason to want to kill him. That is, in theory.

Of course though, if I’m writing this post, it’s because there is still a possibility it may not turn out to be that simple, especially when Uta was implied several times to be rather strong and violent. As far as I know, the One Eyed Washuu/Nagaraj = Uta theory wasn’t debunked yet and Matsuri did say that…

…which sounds ominous when we’ve never seen a Washuu ghoul fight before. Finally, since Uta’s the one who always withdrew first in the past, it’s possible that he went easy on Yomo back then which, additionally to his creepy grin, isn’t very reassuring.

So in case Uta were to enjoy this way too much, finally flip his switch and become uncontrollable…

as it was possibly foreshadowed more than once before

…it would then become logical to start fearing for Yomo’s survival, despite how strong Yomo is too.

However, I’m personally still of the idea that Yomo won’t die, even if Uta were to fully give into his violent impulses, which means that there might be someone who might come to Yomo’s rescue eventually if it’s really needed and I currently have three suspects in mind (though one seems more likely than the others for several reasons). 

First, Kaneki but he seems the least likely option, especially since I doubt he just dumped Ayato to end up fighting against Uta on his way back and save Yomo (+ tbh, while I’d love it, I’m really not sure about ever seeing a fight between Kaneki and Uta). So nah. 

Then Touka, because she’s nowhere to be seen in the recent chapters (and she must end up doing something, hopefully), because Yomo was ready to sacrifice himself to buy her time in the 24th ward twice, because Akira might end up going where Uta and Yomo are fighting (since Amon and Donato are there) and Touka could decide to go with her.
Then again, the issue is that I really doubt Touka could hold her own against Uta alone, so maybe Yomo + Touka against Uta could work, buuut not 100% sure. 

As for my most likely suspect…

one friend of the trio has never been seen fighting but it’s especially interesting that she was precisely depicted as coming right in between Uta and Yomo from the moment she was introduced (cover of TG ch34 just above).

Actually, it’s probably due to having less panel time than the other two, but it seems a lot of readers tend to forget that Itori is also a friend to both guys, on the exact same terms as Uta and Yomo with each other and with her…

…except that she’s rarely ever into fighting (probably to Uta’s dismay). So anyway, if this chapter’s cliffhanger is really a throwback to Yomo’s time in the 4th ward and his rough start with Uta, well, narratively speaking she could also belong there. :))

Besides, she was also rather clear about having seen her share of their cockfights in the past…

&

which could mean that she’s beyond bored of it or that she wouldn’t mind stopping them for once (it did “cause her a lot of trouble” in the past after all). 

Of course, in that case, it’s also natural to question if she’s strong enough to stop these two men in the first place, buuut I actually have Thoughts™ and I think that may precisely be what Sensei is trying to lead us to, because it would create another perfect timing for more answers, this time about Itori’s character. 

In other words, yeah I think she could be strong enough to stop these two men from killing each other, should it be what she wants. xD And she might want to do just that, because the 3 of them are genuine friends:

TL;DR I think Matsuri was 100% on point in ch151 when he mentioned the Washuu ghoul blood to be “proud and terrible” and I’m actually thrilled we’ll possibly get to witness that for ourselves through Uta finally flipping his own switch.

*ahem* but if that really happens, no worries, Yomo will be A-okay and once this is over, he will be able to go back to sleeping through the rest of the volume in peace. xDDD
