How do you guys know he's not sweet and gentle still? For all we know, he could just be like this when he's fighting. In fact, I think he's matured if anything. He's not faking his sweet and gentleness when he doesn't have to, and he can be soft when he's not in such a tense situation. Being true to yourself means you don't fake being nice to people who you're clearly suspicious and uneasy around (much like how Shironeki never trusted Tsukiyama but acted genuine to him).

From what I can tell so far, he doesn't feel obligated to "be nice all the time" now. Sasaki was a different story when he was fighting, he was struggling to not lose control, that was it, that's why he acted as some people would call it "soft". This is merely Kaneki no longer holding himself back, even if people will judge him, he clearly doesn't care what anyone else thinks of his actions anymore.
