Hey other Anon, you must be new at reading Seinen manga, there is something in fiction called an unreliable narrater, where the character does not have full knowledge of the meaning of things they have observed and/or full knowledge of themselves. What this means is that what a character says is not necessarily true. Just like in real life a character may not even evaluate their own motivations accurately.

Shuu, in my opinion, in Tokyo Ghoul was always playing. He did not need to hunt for food, being the Gourment was a game. Even hunting Kaneki was a game. Through prolonged contact with Kaneki, he started to realize his real need for friendship.

In my opinion his attack before the Anteiku raid was confused. Yes, he wanted to eat him, but also he wanted to stop him from going, his conscious motive for the attack conflicted with his subconscious motive, making his attack less effective.

Right now Shuu is not conflicted, I think he will be better at fighting then we have ever seen him.
