The ascension into the black reaper is not the first time Kaneki´s kagune sprouted a functional eyeball...

He did that as early as in the "Raid of Kanou´s Lab" incident when his half-kakuja first manifested.

That third eye he got was indeed a fucntional eyeball, and for that to happen, there had to be a brain within the kakuhou for its optical nerves to connect to. Kaneki was completely out of it, hinting that something else took control over him and coordinated his movements, hijacking his brain like zombie ant fungi does with the ants, and assumed control. It was also the same incident where he used three different honorifics to describe "himself" (He used his honorifics, Rize´s honorifics and Jason´s honorifics at the same time... Jason´s speech pattern could have come from his kakuja cells, Rize´s due to the kakuhou behing hers and Kaneki´s because it was his brain the kakuhous were hijacking to give the third eye a brain to connect with in lack of having one of their own.)

We have not seen the ghosts of "Rize" and "Yamori" ever since that incident in the sewers and where "Kuroneki" (His kakuhou as it developed sentience as it would be younger than him, therefor manifest as a child when communicating with him) and "Shironeki" (His human side and the host for the kakuhou, the result of what had happened so far.) merged together in the big sleep that ended with "Haise" in Re...

His Kakuhous essentially became him at that point and Kaneki Ken as a human being, did die in V14, leaving only the "One-eyed ghoul" Kaneki Ken behind. A mass of rc-cells that thinks its Kaneki Ken.

(There´s evidence to support this theory... Noro´s kakuhou, as seen in its final moments, cleary displayed that it had the memories of its life with Eto and the mind of Noroi. Hinting that the kakuhou became Noro once it reached its mature stage and took over its hosts completely, "Body-snatcher" style.)

It´s not unlikely to think that the host´s brain has become a mere extension of the kakuhou if there´s enough rc-pathways filling it up to replace the lost tissue, and Kaneki have rc-pathways in his skull at this point, a lot of them... heck, his eyes are nothing but rc-cells since they´ve suffered more than enough abuse to warrant such extreme regenerative measures.

Also, a small notice...

Eto´s kagune also sprouts eyeballs, she did that with her kakuja form during the Tsukiyama incident, (in that georgous shot when they scaled the building together... one can see the multiple eyes clear as day.)

It only proves that Eto´s kakuja and kakuhous indeed have some sentience of their own...since I really don´t think that it´s Eto´s actual thoughts that coming out as gibberish from the manifestd mouths... it´s the brain of her kakuhous that´s sputtering the nonsense, not her.

Just a theory.
