In Tokyo Ghoul, each ghoul is provided a mask to hide their identity from the
CCG. And although I've yet to watch the entire series (currently on season 2),
it appears that ghouls always wear the same mask. Doesn't this cause a major
disadvantage during battle?

If a ghoul wears the same mask all the time, then upon first look, an opponent
will know the capabilities of the ghoul, should the ghoul have been
encountered before. But, if different masks were worn, and/or traded around,
this would provide uncertainty when beginning a fight, and would be much more
advantageous for ghouls.

So, is there any particular reason a ghoul will wear only one mask?

Do they always wear the same mask?


From the website : <http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Mask>

Ghouls wear those masks because they want to live alongside with the humans
without the fear of getting caught by the CCG. This is the _only_ reason for
wearing the masks. They aren't afraid of being identified as specific Ghouls
while fighting the CCG. Changing the mask will be like changing your very
identity. It will be clever for a Ghoul to change masks from time to time but
as mentioned earlier, it's difficult to change your identity (and everyone is
proud of being themselves). This seems to be the only explanation!
