I like where AFU was going, with the "mind thing" and the stem cells, but don't think bodily stems. As we know, RC cells are what make the kagune work, they're the weird muscle cells behind everything. It is stated that, within each type of kagune, the use is limited to the ghoul's imagination, meaning 1, its up to the ghoul to determine its shape (which is usually hereditary anyways), and 2, the cells are able to change at a moments notice to accomodate its Ghoul's wishes.

Now, we know ghouls are very similar to humans, besides the metabolic demands, and kakouhou. This means that any human part can fit into any ghoul, and vice versa (As seen with Ken Kenechi). This means thay humans and ghouls share a similar genome, which is what allows humans to breed with ghouls. (Albiet with lomited success, as the child is usually too weak to survive due to its need of flesh, and its inability to digest it properly)((<thats another hypothesis for another time))

Now, kagune types are hereditary, which means a bikaku will have a bikaku child, a koukaku will have a koukaku child, and etc. But when two different kagune types concieve a child, it is rare to have a chimera. Which leads me to believe that the chimera has a special type of RC cell when it is concieved. Your eyes get their color by gene splicing, inside the womb, at birth. Two genes are split, and pushed together, and bonded, leaving you with either Mom's, Dad's, or a little bit of both's eyes. I believe it is a similar process for the kakouhou, the organs that produce rc cells. Upon conception the Parents' data is unzipped and bonded together. Usually only one gene emerges, whomever has the stronger kagune gene. But chimeras are different, they get both genes, and are usually stronger with both. This leads to the hypothesis of a special type of gene that allows for rc cells to be made that are able to bond all of the kakouhou genes together.

If this were a thing, it would allow for a ghoul to utilize all four types of kagune. I call these cells SupeRC Cells for lack of a better name and need of a convenient one. These SupeRC Cells would allow for thr genetic material of all four Kagune types to bond together in the kakouhou's cells producing all four kagune spots, the ukaku, koukaku, rinkaku, and bikaku. However, there is one problem, how on earth did two normal ghouls get enough genetic material to make a super awesome baby? Either they had every gene required, buried away from their ancestors, and awesome luck in reproduction, or they themselves were chimeras, each with different/overlapping kagune, while still covering the four types. But simple statistics can disprove this, the random chance of picking a random ghoul, and it being male or female is 50% (.5) the odds of picking one that is a chimera with at least 2 types is something something like 5/3000(.005)((these numbers are taken from what ive seen from the show so far, i think i have seen 5 chimeras, maybe more. The number is just an estimate) so to figure out the random chance of finding a chimera of the opposite gender of another chimera is already .5x.0016 (or.00083)((1/83000) those are pretty slim odds already, and then you have to take into account the fact that both parents might be the same chimera types, or one is a three chimera, while the mother is a two chimera, or the mother is a normal ghoul. The chances of any of this happening are relatively slim.

This line of thinking lead to a third option; Shikorae was manufactured. In a word, Kanou. He is responsible for Kenechi, the yasuhisa twins, and several malformed and inept ghouls. Pioneering kenechi (as an unrelated prototype) Kanou performed transplant surgeries using rize as the initial donor. Out of 1200 trials, only three successes were made.Kenechi and the twins. Among the list of donors are Rize, Yoshimura, 2 unknown ukaku, unknown koukaku,1 unknown rinkaku, and 2 unknown bikaku. Now naturally, any donor would have his own set rc cell type, that rejects other cells. But chimera cells are obviously special, and as we know, humans also contain, albeit fsrl less than ghouls, rc cells. If someone couldmisolaye the chimera SupeRC Cells, and look for human sunjects containing these cells, they potentially find a universal reciever. This human can take organ donations from all four types of kagune, then develope the kakouhou. They would then be able to utilize any and all of the kagune. Of course, these cells are rare, hence the rarity of any chimera. This type of exploratory surgery is cumducted by Kanou. He originally grafted the kakouhou directly to the recipient, but after so many rejections, the program moved on to using technology similar to quinques, using regulatory frames for the user to control the kagune. I believe that 1, he would've saved himself trouble studying the protien markers surrounding rc cells, and 2, if a human contains an rc cell type of a rinkakou, they can recieve a rinkakou transplant, turning them into ghouls (although some do not maintain their mind nor their body due to blood type or other reception errors)((finding a match that can recieve a transplant without errors would be rare, but nowhere near as rare as finding a chimera)) and 3. A ghoul interested in these experiments should become a physician, that way he has access to a vast pool of subjects, their biological info, and possesses the position to tell the lab to look for certain items in the blood that could tell what kagune type the pstient could recieve, without needing to reveal his motives.

In conclusion, thr Chimera/SupeRC Cell, could recieve any and all typed of Kakouhou, making it a super cell. Not only that, humans also contain rc cells (at a lower rate than ghouls) meaning that any human could possibly have the same cells without being a ghoul. These same humans could potentially, after having a lot of work done finding the SupeRC human, finding donors that match the recipients blood type, and other factors that will help eliminate the rejection of a transplant, recieve a transplanted kakouhou from all four types, which would then regenerate into fully functioning kakouhou, producing stromg kagune.

Now that that's out of the way, we can explain his behavior. Kenechi was seeing visions and hallucinations of rize, long after the transplant took place (months?) So imagine having Kenechi x 3(4?). The procedure probably drove him insane. If his vocal patterns didnt suggest a dementia of some level, at least look at his actions; he is indecisively selfish, and tends to prefer not to fight, however, that is not due to the lack of ability. He is probably being told how to be a ghoul by 3(4?) People on the daily. His limited use of multiple types of kagune suggest that using more than one tires him more quickly, which would suggest a probable reason to his "cowardice". And his quick defence oh Kanou suggests a creation-creator level bond.

Just some food for thought. Enjoy!
