Ke i've done some research, I apologize beforehand, big chance it'll be messy!

Interestingly I noticed that it took about 2,5-3months between Kaneki being attacked and being discharged from the hospital.Would that mean it takes about that long for the body to adjust to the alien part inside? Or was it purely because Kaneki probably was in a small coma from the lethal attack? Presumably taking much less time when it's only the transplantation. Almost exactly 1 month later he gets taken to the restaurant by Tsukiyama. 1month... So from here on out it gets messy.

First of all assumption 1: Souta/Furuta is a ghoul when attending the restaurant arc.

That would bring two other assumption forth. Furuta had his Kagune implanted before Kaneki, which would explain how he's capable of dropping steel beams on Rize. But it would make Kanou a liar, when telling Kaneki he was his prototype... Still that would make sense, if he has to keep Furuta's operation a secret. And making everyone belief Kaneki was the first, is what enabled Furuta to move so freely. (Because like you said Furuta having an operation close to the twins, should've caught Aogiri's eye.)

Option two is that he had another way of dropping the beams and Kaneki was the true 'prototype'. But in the time that Kaneki's body was adjusting and recovering from the lethal attack, the signs should've been there after awhile that the transplantation with Kaneki was working. Since Kaneki coming out alive from such an attack, is very unlikely, which I assume Rize's kagune had the most important part in. Seeing the progression they decided it's safe to say the transplantation works and somewhere in those 3month hospitalization of Kaneki, Furuta's transplantation was done.

Assumption 2: Souta/Furuta is still a human when attending the restaurant arc.

Now this gets tricky! This could all still be Furuta monitoring Kaneki's progress, before having the transplantation. It wouldn't be too weird to think Furuta wants to see the growth after a month being discharged from hospital. A month seems particularly plausible, because who monitors a patient in periodic stages of 18 days or 6 or 54... A month seems like a standard period to check up on how someone is doing.

Now period 1: After the torture and Aogiri raid, you can see Souta talking to Nico & they we're having a conversation about Kaneki's growth. This could've been the push for Furuta to do the operations, since there is also a timeskip from december 19 (end of raid) to end of may (everyone in CCG getting their new ranks) This would be a suprisingly fitting time, since not long after we get the first chapter where the twins appear, already having the kagune under control and fighting on equal ground with kaneki. 7,5 month inbetween discharge and Kaneki confronting the twins. It took Kaneki a month to get a grip on how to use his kagune. After the end of the Aogiri clean-up he got a drastic power-up, after another month is that. Training himself during the rest of the time upto 7,5 month. Since he can take them on both, i'm assuming the twins had their transplantation around the end of the clean-up or start of a somewhat peaceful time. Which means they've had somewhat of a 4months to get the control that they had in chapter 85, which seems plausible. Since it's such a big timespan, it should be plausible that Furuta had his transplantation within that time as well. Since Kaneki gets confronted by an insane amount of floppy's when he enters Kanou's lab after a good 8months, it's most probable that inbetween all those floppys the twins and Furuta's transplantation happened.

Chapter 117 is where Touka says hey to Furuta. Which is also the first time we get to se Furuta. I'm willing to belief that's an indication to the time he had his transplantation. It's somewhere inbetween 4july and 22july that Touka meets Furuta. I'm inclined to belief around the 10th. Now the last time we see Souta is the raid clean-up off Aogiri (19th of december) and the first time we see Furuta is the coincidental meeting (10th of july). A period of 6,5 months. Inbetween that he had his transplantation if I interpret that that is what both persona's of Furuta indicate. Souta representing human Furuta and Furuta appearing, would indicate him being a ghoul, which would be a funny reversal symbolism. Souta (human) hanging around with ghouls and Furuta (ghoul) hanging out with CCG and V members being human. I can see Ishida do this and definitily see this as a Furuta troll. Living on the edge.

The only question is how he would pul it off not being discovered to be human by the clowns. Or did they except him as a human and did he tell them something....

Verdict? Additional info?

Quite the read, isn't it! How are you holding up? ^^
