^ I see.

(Thank you for explaining in such great detail, it was appreciated.)

So you are of the opinion that it was much more enjoyable when the kagune types were simply... "Ukaku is a projectile weapon but draining, Koukaku is a hard weapon but slow, Rinkaku is a flexible weapon but fragile and Bikaku is average."

The simple "rock-paper-scissor" rules?

Say, let's put up the scenrio in "what-if" all those special abilities of the kagunes didn't existed? and only "Rock-paper-scissors" was in play with the kakuja as a massive ace in the whole by itself, a double-edged trumpcard, reserved for the absolutely mad or strongest of the ghoul hierarchy and the rarest card.

A story where Narukami's lightning didn't existed, (And where that ridiculous railgun quinque Morgan is using don't exist either...) the flamebreathing Arata only had his kakuja and bikaku to fight with and the rule were "ghouls only die when their kakuhou are destroyed."

A world where one's creativity in how to use these "rock-paper-scissors" determined it all...

...wait.

Isn't that what Tokyo Ghoul is about already?

As I see it, the only ones with special abilities are basically Tatara, the Kirishima bloodline and whatever ghoul it was that made the basis for Morgan's weapon, and the Clowns, who got that.

(Noro is basically a detachable kagune and that aspect, I am fine with. The walls of rc in 24th was established and are the same after all...so Noro existing is okay.)

The rest are basically "rock-paper-scissors" being used in creative ways....

And regarding the "Why aren't clowns ruling the world already?" part.

Well, ruling the world is too much of a hazzle and simply not worth it, that is comic-book villain goals. Childish stuff.

They aren't looking to rule anything, they, like God, got insane amounts of power, and basically uses it as confidence boosters that "we're not threated by anything so why bother?"...

It's like this.

Ever seen an anthill?

If you stand next to one, would your first impulse be "destroy it"?

No, it wouldn't.

Everyone would just watch it for a while and then be on their merry way, forgetting all about the ants once out of sight.

That is how the clowns sees Tokyo.

It's their little "anthill" that they're watching, additionally putting rocks and branches in paths of the ant lines to divert the insects' course to their amusement and liking to see them try and walk aorund the problem the clowns caused.

It speaks volumes of how they see those weaker than themselves.

The only reaosn they even act hostile now, is because Furuta, a "ant", is giving them directions and promises of entertainment if they follow his pointers. They might be able to snuff him out the day he bores them and since Furuta isn't a real member of Clowns (He himself said to Eto that he "played them", not giving much care for the clown mask he brought along, showing where he stands in relation to the group.)

He is in a way, their collaberator...offering fun in exchange for favors.

(Furuta got "friends on the other side".)

The Clowns are without doubt the strongest group in tokyo, and if Furuta ever thinks he can own and backstab them, he will be crushed as well...(I think this will happen when Kaneki defeat him but spares the troll's life, after having the latter watch as everything he had slips away from his fingers with his goals and dreams ruined...and once Furuta loses all that power, the clowns will step in and kill him as "the show is over" and he got "boring".)

The clowns will with no doubt survive these events as usual and have the last laugh, as Uta promised, since they aren't actually real antagonistic in their motives, they are "Chaotic Neutral".

And that's why they will survive this, they are just agents of chaos, and chaos can't be stopped since it itself is not evil. Only unpredictable.

Also, that "communication kagune" you mentioned? Already happened.

Roma got that one. (sure, it is more of a signal beacon than comms, but the idea is the same, one warning beacon sent Kaneki's way would at least inform him that shit hit the fan in the 24th as it happens...so that is a real thing.)

So possibility existing.
