Tokyo Ghoul – Kagune Explained

Tokyo Ghoul is a popular manga and anime series that has captivated millions of fans since its debut in 2014. The series follows the story of Ken Kaneki, a college student who is turned into a half-ghoul by an unfortunate accident. Ghouls are creatures that feed on human flesh, and as such, they live in secret. As a result of his transformation, Kaneki is forced to struggle with his newfound identity while trying to hide it from the world.

One of the most iconic aspects of Tokyo Ghoul are its distinct “Kagune” – the ghouls’ biological weapons that come in various shapes and sizes. Each Kagune is unique to the individual ghoul, and can be used for offensive or defensive purposes. Kaneki’s Kagune takes the form of two tentacles which he can control with telekinetic power. He can use them to grapple onto objects or enemies, as well as using them to launch powerful energy blasts at his opponents.

The Kagune are made up of kakuhou – special organs located inside each ghoul’s body that contain RC Cells derived from their diet of human flesh. Each Kakuhou contains different types of RC Cells which determine the power and abilities of the Kagune. For example, some Kakuhou contain powerful regenerative cells which allow their owners to heal quickly from wounds or regenerate lost limbs.

Kagunes also come in different shapes and sizes depending on how much RC Cells they contain and how powerful they are. Some Kagunes take the form of wings or blades while others take on more exotic forms such as tentacles or spikes. The shape and size of a Kagune also depends on how much control its user has over it – some users are able to wield large or multiple Kagunes while others cannot control even one properly.

The power and versatility of Kagunes make them incredibly useful tools for ghouls looking to survive in Tokyo’s dangerous environment filled with humans who want to hunt down all ghouls indiscriminately. However, their reliance on RC Cells also means that ghouls must constantly feed on humans in order to sustain their powers – something which leads many ghouls into conflict with both themselves and humanity itself.

Kaneki’s Kagune is a rinkaku kagune. This kagune is formed from Rize — the ghoul he got his powers from. This kagune can form claw-like hands that could be used for nimble climbing. The colour of rinkaki kagune varies depending on the gene-type and Rc cell type of the ghoul.

Why Did Kaneki Turn Into A Kakuja?

There are a few reasons why Kaneki may have turned into a Kakuja. One reason is that he may have had a higher ghoul to human ratio, which can increase the concentration of RC cells within a ghoul’s body. This can lead to a Kakuja forming through continuous acts of cannibalism or extreme levels of stress and trauma. Additionally, Kaneki may have turned into a Kakuja as a result of the repeated cannibalism he performed. Cannibalism can lead to the absorption of RC cells, which can cause a ghoul to become more powerful and even turn into a Kakuja.
