Owl (Quinque)
CharacterOwl is an SSS-rated ukaku quinque famous for two firsts in the Commission of Counter Ghoul arsenal. Fashioned from the living body of the ghoul Yoshimura, it stayed sealed away for over a decade before Kishou Arima finally drew it against Ken Kaneki.
Overview
Owl, read in Japanese as Fukurō, is a long-hilted ukaku weapon capped with a broad, saw-toothed blade. It belongs to the small class of kakuja quinques and carries the rare SSS classification, the only weapon of its grade documented in the series.
Role
What sets this armament apart is its origin. Its kakuhou was ripped free while Kishou Arima and Yoshimura fought, meaning the ghoul who supplied it was still breathing at the time, a first for the CCG. In combat the weapon can launch projectiles and set traps against a target.
Notable Members
The blade sat idle for thirteen years after it was forged, never once taken into a fight. Arima broke that streak inside Cochlea during the Third Cochlea Raid, wielding it against Ken Kaneki. The encounter proved fatal for the weapon, as Kaneki tore it apart entirely.
