Arima no megane: Why wouldn't Eto survive decapitation? Kanae survived being decapitated and only suffered a momentary lapse of consciousness because of Eto's kagune. Eto can't receive the same benefit from her kagune that far weaker ghouls do?

AaronC141: I'm not sure if she was tortured, but we knew she grew up and was active in an extremely brutal area. She was already launching fairly reckless attacks on the CCG as a teenager, so we can guess her life had been filled violence from the beginning and she got used to that. Kaneki and Seidou are humans that became ghouls. Look at examples like Yomo and Uta. Uta had his faced sliced in half and was impaled through his side, and carried on as if absolutely nothing had happened. Yomo did the same when Kaneki punched through his chest. There are obvious counter examples with Ayato and Touka, but clearly some ghouls who live through constant savagery become desensitized to pain.

She also may be a masochistic, and derive genuine pleasure from physical pain.
