To me it's the motivation or the intention that matters more than the result. Even though the intention is to not kill any humans doesn't make the intention any less valuable, because he did end up killing or seriously injuring some. When it's ideals that are at stake and you refuse to do something (such as not killing) you can be damn sure that those you're fighting will force your hand for you. That's why the result was technically already set and the aim lost right off the bat, but what remains is the knowledge that his heart is that of a pure person, a good person that'll try his hardest to refrain from anything unnecessary. Once you are in a position where nobody refutes your dominance, such traits and fortitude towards keeping them might just be what one needs to build something better. It's because the person is corrupted in the process that all the good intentions are slowly corrupted as well resulting in a system that isn't any better than the one that was crushed minutes ago.

Still as long as Kaneki retains that purity, that might still be a big gamble, but at least an interesting one to see through. A new wave, if you will.

But humans have the disposition to choose for the misery they already know and have grown comfortable with, instead of looking at possible freshness that something different could bring. Understandable, but nothing more than the mentality of a coward. And ironically the biggest coward has proven himself to be braver than most characters could sincerely say out loud about themselves.
