Talk:Rc Scan Gate/@comment-89.13.89.5-20151012111633

Well we know that Kanekis RC level was pretty low after his Surgery, with only 977. This is probably why Kanou considered him a failure at first. Kaneki also consumed almost no RC-cells at that early time period (just enough to not starve), so his RC-level probably only went up a tiny bit if at all. So when going through the Gate he could just have an RC-Cell count of less then 1000, meaning the  Gate wont detect him as Ghoul, as it only does that when the RC-Cell count is 1000 or above.

Now for Eto, maybe before visting the CCG she prepared by detaching her kagune a few times, basically forcing the mayority RC-Cells out of her body, meaning that at the time she went though the gate her RC-cell count was also under 1000.
