I think this is an amazing comment. I was one of the people who first thought that Eto was going easy on Kaneki, but I realize now that realistically that would not make sense. She did seem to go to another level in this fight, with her crazy-ass talking kagune coming out and doing some random stuff. I will say that it is possible that this impeded her ability to fight at her full extent, or it is equally possible that it made her even more dangerous. It is hard to say. But like you said, Eto fought Arima in a similar form to this in part one, and Arima did not have much trouble. I will point out that her owl form seems more suited for one(herself) versus a whole group. Her huge sweeping attacks are hard to avoid for a large group, but for people like Arima and Kaneki(he has inherited Arima's fighting style), they are probably easy to read. However, with all of this, I am still hesitant to say that Kaneki is "stronger" than Eto, because then would we have to consider Kaneki the strongest ghoul? Or is it just a matter of matchups affecting the outcome? Or is she not really as "strong" as we thought? The rankings aren't always neccesarily just meant as an illustration of strength, just as the bounties in one piece are not. But she was insanely strong, so I don't know. Nevetheless, this fight really screws around with power rankings for sure. She is most likely going to hide in the shadows and wait, because seems that her "defeat" at Kaneki's hands is irrevelant to her plans for him coming to fruition.

A point that wasn't mentioned: from my perspective she was losing control of her kakuja. The thing was going crazy from being split and saying random things and doing whatever. Does this mean that eto's control of her kakuja was not as complete as we thought? Which, if true, would leave room for a full kakuja ghoul that is even stronger than her with complete control over his/her kakuja. What do you guys think?
