it would be a shonen if he actually did power up to beat Eto. Except he didn't power up at all, used his standard kagune and his clever tactics/strategy to win. This was shown early on in his fight with Nishiki where he even loses to Nishiki in brute force, he won by faking him out. Also if it wasn't already clear enough in tokyo ghoul, he managed to slightly injure CCG's death reaper himself as well as partially disarm him (aka. break narukami) using the same kind of strategy, it was just unfortunate for him that Arima is a specialist at that. Now he's got a couple years of training from the very best, while mostly handicapping himself by suppressing his ghoul/kagune. If you kept training wearing sandbags, what happens when you take them off?
