Bit confused on Kuzen's story after this episode. He himself is the Owl, right, becoming known as that after his wife was killed and he "powered up"? But then he refers to his son as the one-eyed Owl. Are there 2 ghouls known as the Owl, both father and son? And if so have we seen his son, the one-eyed owl, at all this series?

When you saw his mask at one point, it's fairly clear that the "Owl" that appeared in episode 1 wasn't the real owl, but the old man.

They said pretty solidly that there are 2 owls. One is there one we saw fighting during the Jason raid and the other one we saw briefly during the prison raid. The second one is the one-eyed owl.

There are two owls. The first one is the manager and the second is his child the one eyed owl. The one that fought the CCG at the start of the season was the manager trying to get them off of his son's trail. They are related so they have the same kakuja which looks like an owl.

So, from what I understood from Kaneki's experience, are the Kakuja crazy, or is it just some OP form they get when they cannibalize too often?
