This is one of those minor world building details that never becomes relevant or even comes up again, but I love the implications of it.

It is apparently a common enough occurrence for punk ass brat humans to mess with ghoul investigators by pretending to be ghouls that it’s something Amon considers as a possibility when he first sees Kaneki. 

Is this something Amon has actually encountered before? Is it something they have to train investigators to deal with? 

I mean, the CCG protocol for ghouls is to kill on sight, making me think that they totally have had issues with this in the past and have to thoroughly educate all CCG personnel to wait for the kakugan or kagune because apparently, despite the fact that the CCG legally can and do kill ghouls in the street with no further investigation, human brats still like messing with them.

And what kind of humans do this, exactly? Why? Is it some kind of Yakuza initiation ritual? Despite the fact that CCG is a thing and ghoul attacks are on the news, ghouls still seem to be something many people either don’t know anything about or don’t totally believe in (which is another weird world-building detail entirely…) to the point where Fura and his delinquent friends are just completely uneducated about ghouls. So who the hell is messing with ghoul investigators like this?

Has a human ever come into HySy like “yeah, I plan on just fucking with some CCG goons, but I figured if I’m going to do this I should go all out and get a top quality mask. Hey, while I’m at it, maybe I should get those scleral tattoos you have, Mask Maker-san. Where’d you get them done?”

And that’s how Uta got that one bratty human killed by the CCG.

(Does the CCG ever accidentally kill humans, either because they are being that stupid or get caught in the crossfire? Is this a huge PR disaster? Or seen as the consequences of war? If nothing else, as an American, all of this speaks to the markedly different relationship that average Japanese people have with their law enforcement.)
