We don't really know what his official rating would be tbh, they've almost never had a char as strong as Kaneki before except the original One Eyed King who's so strong that both humans and ghouls had to ally in order to beat him.



Arima Kishou: At the age of 16, he was already stronger than a SSS (regular middle SSS) ghoul like Kuzen/Yoshimura who's known and feared as CCG's nemesis. We also know that he can beat Eto who's not only a pure one eyed ghoul, but also is a SSS (high SSS) with a full kakuja. From that, we know that you might have to be beyond the rank of a high SSS in order to beat him. During the time he was with Kaneki til now, he revealed that he has had numerous amount of times he could've immediately killed Kaneki if he wanted, but never did. From the fight with Kaneki, (dragon kakuja and is probably around Eto's kakuja strength) Kaneki was completely demolished by Arima who used a SSS quinque made by Yoshimura's kagune. Arima can easily defeat SS and SSS ghouls with regular quinques such as Yukimura which has a B or A rating, and two S+ rated quinques(IXA and Narukami). Arima's true strength with a quinque is "with Owl SSS" which means he has to use it to subdue a ghoul stronger than SSS, but it was also destroyed by Kaneki along with his other quinques. We don't really know if it's because of Arima's eyesight that's causing him to lose. Some of the previous chapters mentioned something about his eyes (Shachi) so we might assume that either his glasses aren't good enough or he has a ghoul eye(s), but that's probably not true. He's probably just an OP genius human, but who knows...



SSS ghouls we know atm:

Kuzen'/Yoshimura:' He was defeated by like 4 or 5 decent investigators who can only handle a SS at least by themselves in a solo fight. Yoshimura/Kuzen can also be easily solo and lose in a fight against Arima.

Eto: The true extent of her power is probably unknown since we've never actually seen her fight all out, but all we know is that she definitely isn't stronger than Arima. She might end up losing to Furuta who's also probably weaker than Arima as well.



Now we know all of this, it's obvious that Kaneki already completely surpassed Eto and maybe even Arima as well. Kaneki might have a SSSS rating or something else because they wouldn't put him at SSS. SSS is low for someone who defeated CCG's reaper who never lost a fight before he faced the current Kaneki. So, unless Ishida Sui makes a special SSSS rating for Kaneki, Kaneki prob won't have a letter rank and might be called the One Eyed King or w/e.

Idk I'm just saiyan and yes I just spent a bunch of time typing all of this cuz idgaf and it's 5 am in the morning.
