The reasoning for this is because the story shifts to the CCG's side of things, who are trained in more stylistic combat, whereas Kaneki was in a ghoul's world during the first series, which would involve more terrifying ordeals. Ultimately, I'd say :re got darker during the Rose arc and that definitely returns during Rushima. There's still fighting obviously, as the series, whilst primarily being a psychological thriller/drama, also has action as its genre.
