haha i just had a horrible thought, though.

Eto is up there with Kaneki and no one else. He’s totally in that camera shot as the CCG representative, (though he’s not wearing a badge as far as I can tell.) She presumably promised to do this all peacefully, but she’s clearly already broken script.

If she really wants to get crazy with this, she could activate her single kakugan and thus broadcast to all the ghouls out there that hey – look – I’m a one eyed ghoul!

and if she takes out her kagune, Kaneki will have to contain her. And he doesn’t have a quinque with him as far as we’ve seen. Which means he also has to activate his single kakugan. Artificial or no, that also reveals him as a one eyed ghoul.

And if he’s there as the official CCG rep, it reveals a one eyed ghoul in the CCG.

Not to mention both of them have matching eldritch horror kagune, now.

I don’t know if this will happen. But if it does…

Well, that’s one way to broadcast your choice of One Eyed King to the public, Eto.

I think that once she gets out her kagune, the cameras would be off immediately. Despite all the publicity the TV could get out of it, they don’t want people to see a potential live broadcast massacre. + If Kaneki is there as CCG representative, it may mean that there are people from CCG overlooking the whole broadcast from behind the scenes. Tey would pressure staff to stop the broadcast immediately. 

If the CCG were overseeing the broadcast, which, honestly, WHY AREN’T THEY, they should have cut the cameras as soon as she went off script, and claimed technical difficulties. 

Clearly, they don’t have the kill switch. Kaneki’s face is proof of that. That is not the look of someone confident someone will prevent this from getting any worse. 

Seriously, why doesn’t the CCG have a kill switch on this broadcast. They messed up SO BADLY.

And even if the cameras do shut off shortly afterward, it’ll be enough for everyone to see the two single kakugan come on, which is honestly all that Eto needs the ghouls watching to see. 

If the news crews in Japan are anything like the news crews in America (and I know we have some really, uniquely terrible news channels over here) then if they smell blood, literally or metaphorically, they won’t turn the camera off at all. There’s an old news adage “if it bleeds, it leads” for a reason. Every station is going to want to be the station to cover the eldritch tentacle fight with the best angles. 

You know, unless there are actually laws on the books that allow the CCG to pull a media black out? Which will be terribly hard to do, consider they chose to do it live.

Your “if it bleeds, it leads” thing is making me imagine Tokyo Ghoul as LA Ghoul and I am just considering what would happen if this press conference happened here now and it’s just

I wonder why they made the broadcast live. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone’s control and safety if it was pre-recorded?

Few choices about this make sense, tbh.
