I think it´s more likely that Nishio is Serpent since the kagune are Bikaku for the both of them and if Torso is Shuu thne there could be to subdue his killing spree in a form of "caretaking" of the poor guy...(After all, the last time we saw Nishio, he was providing coffee to Shuu while the later went through the Angst Coma...) Meaning that Nishio is out to make sure that Shuu is kept in line again after losing track of him.

Also, considering what Nishio gone through... (Getting beaten up by Kaneki, Having his girlfriend kidnapped by Shuu and getting beaten up to the point of near death by him, getting impaled by "Black Rabbit" during the Aogiri arc... And now in the aftermath of the Anteiku raid, there´s no more peacekeepers in the ward that can provide food for starving ghouls that wants a peaceful existence...)

Who says that Nishio can´t man up and take on the responsibilities of Anteiku to provide for his fellow ghouls that can´t defend themselves? He can have put himself through a lot of training and is now watching the city like a vigilante, Batman or Kaneki-style, protecting and keeping "his territory" safe from outside forces while preserving the spriit of Anteiku to this point in time.

(Remember how often he claimed an area to be his territory but had it stolen by Rize because he was "Too weak" to keep it, as Touka put it?)

Well, if he´s Serpent, then that would mean that he took his friends´ words to heart and improved to live up to his own ideals.

Also, the vocabulary that Serpent is using made me think about Nishio considering that it was a uncaring attitude that was a bit foul there, and considering how Nishio speaks then there could be a connection there as well.

Don´t know if he goes so far as to eat ghouls but there was a lot of ghouls that had S-rank and wasn´t Kakuja either so that´s up to debate...

Besides, it´s not like Bikaku-users are weak or anything since "Orca" is a Bikaku user and he is one of the strongest normal ghouls in the setting. So Nishio could have trained himself up to become a S-rated ghoul in the time between TG and TG:re...

This is just my opinion on things but I think Nishio is "Serpent".
