kanou's position on the tree of life

since I finally got all my thoughts about kanou-san into one text, I'll post this theory here too! it contains spoilers for the main game + dlc and hermit room

so, this is a theory about kanou being keter, which is the first sephirah on the tree of life. i'd like start with kanou’s color palette. i’ve seen that the color which represents keter can differ from one interpretation to another but the most common choice for it is white. according to kabbalah, white is not even a color! it doesn’t absorb anything – it’s hollow and transparent as a representation of the divine nature of the creator. it’s here, you can see it, but at the same time it doesn’t really exist; it receives nothing from the outside, it’s a new start, a ghost, a blank list which is purely empty. so keter expresses the human desire of wanting to become something and having potential but it doesn’t have any content by itself, which i believe fits into kanou’s whole wish of wanting to exist and have a presence in the real world (he accomplished it when he met haruki who is a representation of malkuth but before that he was on the constant brink of being forgotten and abandoned due to the fact he had nothing). 

also keter is always about the present moment which is not connected to the past or future at all since it’s just a starting point! kanou states in q&a that he just lives in the moment, “just living is my hobby”, and everything else (like the question about his childhood) is left up to our interpretation. 

additional details: keter’s body part is focused on the head, and kanou was about to decapitate himself with a scalpel. keter is associated with pluto (it’s ironic considering the whole history of pluto and the topic of keter/kanou being nothing and not fitting anywhere), and pluto is a scorpio’s planet. hehe, kanou is a scorpio! a cool coincidence! kanou is also associated with rainbows somehow as i can tell judging by the stickers/keychains fukao made. keter manifests itself in malkuth (rainbow represents malkuth), and malkuth manifests itself in keter, the end would not exist without the start and vice versa. 

my kanatou-pilled thoughts on this matter: i've already stated that haruki is malkuth, while kanou is keter, yeah? it creates a possibility of them symbolically representing the end and the start, almost like an ouroboros. kanou accomplished his goal of having a place in the world and be remembered by someone because of haruki's decision to carry it on - keter manifests in malkuth and receives the colors/meaning of its existence.

one key-point which is missing: i’m not really sure about kanou being fully meta-aware as others on tree of life though. he says "i just came here to research the cells, i don't know anything about what they believe, but i think if the god they believe in really does exist, then the comedy would just be using it" (thanks to vidofnir for bringing this up!!!!) so he doesn't really interested in the topic of god's love. i think that “meta-awareness” can differ depending on the position on the tree of life. judging by the concept of keter, i can assume that keter is the only one aspect that doesn’t interested in god's love since the world was born not from god's love but from god's will. this is just the beginning, the first god’s thought about “commedia”, and god’s love appears at the next stages of the tree of life when he (god) starts to create his world. for example, chokmah is the representation of god’s creativity and wisdom, his ‘what if’, which fits into mutei’s rebellious ‘if i was a god’ and his actions in general. mutei, while existing as the second sephirah, needs to acknowledge god’s existence in order to reach his goals. keter is more like a state where god has not taken any actions yet so we can’t really say that he and his love exist.

and one more interesting detail but it would not be related to kanou!! we know that keter stops players from accessing too much information in the HR, yeah? so there’s the fact that keter’s assigned angel is metatron while metatron is considered to be the guardian of heavenly secrets <3 i love it
