I will apologize for my usage of "ignorant" since I did not mean for it to come off as mean-spirited. It's just a huge pet peeve of mine when people just answer an evidence-based argument with that particular response and it comes off that way to me. But my word choices were unnecessarily blunt, so again, I apologize.

That said, I find ABO incompatible transplant unlikely given how high risk it is (generally, it is only used if A or B antibodies are low and death is the only other option). I know the CCG treats its investigators as dispensable, but I'm pretty sure they don't want any of the cost and trouble of death(s) from unnecessarily increasing medical risks.

It would hold true for the Urie-Arata theory as well (though I think the reason it's so popular might be because people didn't check the blood types? I know I didn't until now, shame on me).

I do find the cut off from Saiko's kagune interesting too, but I feel like it could have been to keep the full extent of its abilities hidden until she actually learns to use it. It was implied to have been crazy powerful after all from both the huge gashes on the floor and Hayashimura's reaction.

As for cutting Sasaki open a second time, I have by doubts about that since I'm sure they got all the info they need the first time before the policy for treating him like a human were issued (and everyone sticks go it as far as we know, even if some are still prejudiced) and being treated as human means he must be given basic human rights which includes informed consent being given. They wouldn't really have any excuse to put him under the knife after that policy, and Sasaki is not the gullible idiot fanon likes to portray him as (*grumble* >_>). Key examinations like this tend to be photographed and/or filmed in addition to having records, so there's no need for another one if it was thorough the first time.

The remaining research (i.e. the coating part) could have been done by taking kakuhou from Cochlea ghouls. I'd imagine the Quinx project was not particularly high profile until the compatibility tests were done, so much of the time skip would have had the scientists researching and calculating safety measures to lower the risk to human test subjects (which is another human rights requirement).

Bottom line is, though there is a small chance of ABOi transplants being done, Occam's Razor dictates it's not so until shown otherwise in canon, it's not Kaneki's kagune in Saiko (or Arata in Urie as loathe as I am to reject that theory).
