Thanks to this structuring of their fight and argumenting next it, I had an insight that I don't have heard yet.

Your arguments on why he used a Kagune and not a Kakuja are still pretty vague, but by saying "Eto is weak against this kind of fighters" you made me connect some dots.

Maybe we have slowly gotten used to it and that is seeing Kakuja-mode as the Ghoul's "frenzy mode". Now the reason we started calling it "frenzy-mode" is because Ghoul's tend too loose their sanity and wits when using their Kakuja.

Eto never fought with only her kagune and always went ahead and enveloped herself in a full Kakuja. Why? Maybe (speculation) it's because she isn't such a natural fighter as we all think. She goes full Kakuja and leaves the fighting to her Kakuja, while she goes in a sort of slumber.

Now Kaneki knows very well that using his Kakuja now would most likely make him loose the battle, since his kakuja isn't yet that impressive. comparing the option, you come to the conclusion that fighting a bigger opponent in frenzy-mode, will need some braincells, thinking and strategizing.

The way to bring down a big opponent is too look for a weak spot and attack that spot relentlessly with precisionstrikes, which we saw Kaneki do to the head. Breaking open the skull, he woke Eto back up from her insanityslumber.

Since no one yet succeeded in doing that, this only supports Eto's thoughts about Kaneki's growth into a beautiful fruit. So since she is aware that struggling further wouldn't do much, she decides that it is time to let him know for once and for all how she feels about him, before he finishes her off, so she goes sexual-mode.

You need brains against a bigger and stronger opponent, not strength or better reflexes. The One Eyed Owl has too big of a weaponarsenal to overpower it with enhanced strength and reflexes, some consecutive deadly strikes in a weak spot would do more dmg and that needs precision and focus. That's why Kaneki stayed with his Kagune.
