Tokyo Ghoul Kagune ALL 4 Types

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

Kagune is a special organ possessed by creatures called Ghoul that appear in Tokyo Ghoul. As shown in the photo above, it is a red substance that appears from the Ghoul's back and is said to be even harder than teeth, which are considered to be the hardest parts of humans. Kagune is composed of Rc cells, a blood-like substance that can only be produced by Ghoul, and is secreted from an organ called Kakuhou. Ghoul can attack and defend by manipulating Kagune, the Rc cells secreted by Kakuhou.

The Rc cells that make up Kagune are generated within a Ghoul's body by eating humans. As a result, Ghoul is attacked by an intense hunger that causes him to lose his mind if he does not eat humans. Normally, Ghoul's eyes can mimic those of humans, but they change into Ghoul's unique red eyes called Kakugan, and Ghoul's instincts change. will be called. The Ghoul's instincts are awakened and it becomes ferocious, going on a rampage until it eats humans. Isn't that exactly how a smoker feels on the 7th day after quitting smoking?

Kagune is classified into four types, each with a different location of Kakuhou.

Each Kagune has its own characteristics and compatibility, which will be explained in the following chapters.

Kaneki had Rinkaku's Kakuhou transplanted, which humans don't need.

When you think about it, Kaneki is very unlucky.

Ukaku

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

Ukaku has a Kakuhou on the back of the upper part of the Ghoul, and can emit Kagune like a feather. Ukaku is good at high-speed attacks with Kagune, and can send Kagune shooting like a bullet. However, its weakness is that it lacks stamina and gets tired quickly.

In Tokyo Ghoul, Touka and her brother Ayato are the user of Ukaku. Ukaku can attack at high speed, so in the story there are many scenes in which the user of Ukaku tries to quickly finish the battle by quickly assassinating CCGs, and when They run out of stamina, They run away or eats humans to recover.

Koukaku

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

Koukaku has a hard part under the shoulder blade, and boasts top-class hardness among kagune. Koukaku has Kakuhou part under the shoulder blade, and boasts top-class hardness among kagune. However, Kagune, which boasts strong hardness, uses a large amount of Rc cells, so it has the disadvantage of being very heavy and slow.

Tsukishima is a representative Koukaku user. His fighting style was to accurately block the opponent's attacks with a hard Koukaku, wait for his stamina to run out, and then fight with the heavy Koukaku blows.

Rinkaku

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

Rinkaku is characterized by a fish scale-like kagune, and Kakuhou is located on the waist. Rinkaku has amazing regenerative powers, making him suitable for endurance battles. The ease with which Rc cells bind, which produces regenerative power, also means a weak binding force, making them more fragile than other Kagune.

Kaneki and Rize are representative Rinkaku users. When they are attacked, they can quickly recover using Rc cells, and they often use sustained battles to analyze and defeat their opponents over time. Also, because of their regenerative powers, Kaneki is tortured, and Rize is protected in a CCG container as an experiment subject, and Rinkaku users often suffer terrible things.

Bikaku

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

Bikaku is a tail-like Kagune, and Kakuhou is located at the position of the human coccyx. Bikaku is a balanced type Kagune that is most effective at mid-range and has few weaknesses, but lacks a decisive factor in battle. Bikaku was used by Nishio, Kaneki's senior at university, and fought with a good balance of speed, power, and recovery.

Kagune Strength Relationship

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Manga)

Kaneki(Rinkaku) VS Amon (Quinque Doujima 1/2 Koukaku)
The Quinque used by Amon, Doujima 1/2(Koukaku), is weaker than Kaneki (Rinkaku), and at that time Kaneki was very weak and Quinque did not even know about it, but this is an example of winning due to the difference in compatibility.

As you can see, depending on Kagune compatibility, battles can become one-sided. If you are faced with a Ghoul with a Kagune that is incompatible with you, I recommend that you run away quickly or apologize with all your might.

Kaneki(Rinkaku) VS Nishio(Bikaku)
Looking at Kagune's compatibility, Nishio (Bikaku) is stronger than Kaneki (Rinkaku), but Kaneki wins in this battle. Even though Kaneki just became a Ghoul and is not used to using Kagune yet, he was able to defeat Bikaku, who was at a disadvantage, so we can think that Kaneki has considerable fighting potential and Kagune manipulation potential.

Kagune has chemistry, but sometimes Kagune with a disadvantage wins, like in this battle. If you keep Kagune's compatibility in mind when watching Tokyo Ghoul, you will find it even more interesting.

Touka won the battle between Tsukishima (Koukaku) and Touka (Ukaku)!!

otemoto

Kagune's strength reversal may change depending on Ghoul's potential, sense, and hunger status.

Kaneki(Rinkaku) VS Yamori(Rinkaku)
Finally, it is a battle between those who have the same type of Kagune. Kaneki and Yamori have the same type of Kagune, and in the early stages, Yamori with more experience overwhelmed Kaneki, but Kaneki woke up during the torture and succeeded in defeating Yamori unilaterally.

Battles in Kagune vary depending on their experience, sense, and strength of will, so you'll enjoy Tokyo Ghoul's battle scenes even more if you keep that in mind.

About Kagune's genetics

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

To understand the genetics of Kagune in Ghoul, let's take a look at the genetics table of Kagune in Touka Kirishima's house below. Kagunes inherit one of their parents' Kagune types, like blood type.

Normally, each Ghoul Kagune has one type of Kagune from the moment they are born, but as an exception, there are individuals who have more than one type of Kagune.

Hinami has inherited both of her parents' Kagunes, and can control both Koukaku and Rinkaku at the same time. One way to have multiple Kagunes in one individual is to cannibalize Ghouls with different Kagunes, but just as when blood is transfused, if the same type is not transfused, a rejection reaction will occur. It may be difficult to coexist with the Kagune, and the Kagune may go out of control or become unable to maintain its Kagune shape.

Therefore, there are only three characters in the series who are born with two or more types of Kagune.

otemoto

Hinami may have been awakened by the death of her parents.

About the Special “Kagune”

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

As mentioned above, some characters own multiple Kagunes due to cannibalism. Normally, when a different Kagune is taken into the body, a rejection reaction occurs, and in most cases, like Yamori and Kaneki, the Kagune loses control, but there are rare individuals that do not cause a rejection reaction. Such individuals are called Kaguja, Half-awakened state is Half Kaguja, and fully awakened state is Kaguja. and as they repeat cannibalism multiple times, their bodies become covered in Kagune, allowing them to display powers that are orders of magnitude higher than that of a normal Ghoul.

Kagune can be changed to Quinque

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Manga)

CCG can capture Ghoul alive and remove only their Kakuhou and put it in an attaché case and use it as a weapon. This is called a Quinque, and you will be given a Quinque that matches Agent Ghoul. The Quinque created by the removed Kakuhou can be activated by transmitting the same brain waves that Ghoul uses to manipulate Kagune, but it cannot reproduce Kagune's flexible shape change, and also cannot continue Kakuhou's life. Adjunctive medications are essential to maintain activity.

CCG also used kagune in their body

(Quote：Tokyo Ghoul Anime)

CCG also uses Kagune to defeat Ghoul. Quinx, who appeared in Tokyo Ghoul Re, are humans but can absorb the power of Ghoul into their bodies and use it. By performing the Quinx surgery on humans, which was inspired by the Half Ghoul surgery that Kanou performed on Kaneki, humans can also fight like a Ghoul with a Kakuhou.

It covers Quinque's disadvantage of not being able to change its shape, and allows you to create a Half Ghoul that is practically as strong as Kaneki. When using Kagune, only one eye turns red and can eat human food. Their strength depends on their Rc value, and while a human's Rc value is 250-500, a Ghoul's Rc value is 1000-8000. It can be said that the Rc value is directly connected to the strength of Ghoul.

However, if the Rc value exceeds 1000, they will not be able to eat human food and may not be able to maintain their human personality. Because of these risks, the investigators who gathered at Quinx were disliked within the CCG because they were in trouble with money or had difficult personalities, but because of their success in the auction subjugate planning, they were well-received by those around them.

Quinx surgery greatly enhanced one of their five senses, and they used each of their five senses during their activities. Also, if they undergo Quinx surgery, they will be guaranteed a permanent livelihood after they quit being investigators.
