"Ninja'd"

The downside to the comments section is that you can't tell when new posts are made until afterwards. D:

I feel that natural hybrids being sterile would play more into the overarching tragedy of the series and Eto's in particular. The series focuses a lot on OEGs, but there's a particular focus on artificial hybrids rather than natural ones. In terms of creating OEGs, all of the focus has been on artificial ones with little to no effort on natural OEGs, which I find interesting.

As a ghoul, Eto is nearly "perfect". To the point that she refers to herself as a "God" and with good reason. Her kagune is so powerful that she can keep corpses going and power boost ghouls by embedding her "bones" into them. What I find interesting though is that this is how she prefers to "rear". Her kagune has always been a substitute for her "reproduction/creation" methods. It would install a sense of irony that the most evolved ghoul known can't continue the line of "super ghouls" and has to find other methods. This goes for any natural OEG for a matter of fact

I can't help but feel that all this is a sort of foreshadowing towards natural OEG biology. Between low priority given to the creation of natural OEGs and the way focus is given to how Eto can embed her kagune into others, I think it might be hinting that reproduction isn't possible. But who knows, it can really only go two ways. Maybe one day, Ishida will go more into it.
