So we've been told that siblings and parents have 50% matching kagune traits, twins being 90%. This means that no two kagune are ever exactly alike and obviously differ, just like the difference between physical traits in siblings and twins.

I was then thinking about ghoul geneology. Does having a prominent history of a another RC type in your bloodline affect the nature of your RC type? For example, we know Touka and Ayato's dad was a Koukaku. Has the presence of Koukaku genetics allowed the typical ukaku to mutate into something stronger (e.g. the crystalization to use a shield, an amplifier to physical attacks, or even a long blade resembling a koukaku)? This is also assuming koukaku genes run farther back than just Arata but this specific ukaku kagune is growing more evolved with each generation.

Similarly Mastumae's koukaku, which many assumed to be a rinkaku upon it's original debut, is quite flexible, fast, and even a bit soft compared to other koukakus, which are more like heavy blades or shield glued under their shoulder blade. So perhaps Matsumae's family tree has many rinkaku users or ghouls carrying the rinkaku trait.

This is honestly pure bullshit but if you went with this thinking you could look at some kagune and observe why they don't always follow the set mold for their RC type.

Ryokou Fueguchi's genes are strongly influenced by ukaku ancestors, hence the graceful wing shape of her koukaku.

Miza's unusual three tailed bikaku comes from a history of rinkaku influence in her family tree.

Tsukiyama's koukaku seems bikaku influenced with it's maleability compared to say Naki or Urie.

The normal owl kagune with the muscular blade sprouting from the shoulders, looks awfully koukaku like.

I'll shut up now.
