Overview

Developed by the Commission of Counter Ghoul as an experimental device, the Control Rc gas grenade goes by the shorthand CRc gas. It marks an attempt to disable a ghoul's most dangerous asset, the kagune, through chemistry rather than brute force.

Role

Setting off the grenade releases its gas, which irritates the respiratory tract and mucous membranes of anyone who breathes it. Should a ghoul call up its Rc cells at that instant, the substance disrupts the kagune and drives it to break apart. The effect has firm limits, though. Kakuja kagune shrug it off, most likely thanks to their mutated makeup, and the gas does nothing to blunt a ghoul's heightened strength and physical power.

Notable Members

Dr. Kouitsu Chigyou headed the weapon's development, and early on it existed only as a prototype that was nonetheless reported to perform well. Akira Mado drew the assignment of field-testing that prototype and documenting the results.
