Well, as I see it, seeing her backstory was never about "hyping her up", it was solely to explain who she was so she doesn't die as a complete question mark and unknown if we hadn't seen it.

And let us all be honest... If we hadn't seen her backstory, and she pulled out "Dodgy Mother" out without it, how would the general response from the readers be?

The backstory was not to establish her "hype level" but to provide a justification for Roma to have a kakuja in the first place. And in this regard, Ishida did it right.

Backstory first, surprise the readers, and then pull the kakuja out without the threat of rejection from us.

Logical and justified.

There is no such thing as hype in tokyo ghoul. it is just a illusion.
