"Toying" with someone doesn't equal "owning" them.

Eto can toy around because she got the power to back herself up and that she "screws with people just because she can".

Juuzou don't, so his toying around is basically "Screw with people until they get so pissed off that they make a fatal mistake for him to exploit despite his massive disadvantage".

He was not toying around with Ayato during the Auction, that was a life and death struggle because if Ayato had managed to score one single good hit in, Juuzou would have been killed. The fact that Ayato didn't make a mistake shows that in terms of pure skill, Juuzou is not that high on the scale.

Kurona was beaten by team-effort and a kakuja-based exosuit. Juuzou didn't do anything by himself there.

Him killing tons of ghouls at the time is just him going up against fodder and sitting ducks. (Aogiri raid = Insanity bull rush against fodder ghouls. Auction = hunting down pinguins in suits who didn't even fight back and only tried to flee instead. Only resistance was aogiri grunts.)

Juuzou really don't have that much in terms of achievements to speak off...

Besides killing hundreds of fodder ghouls that is...

(Surviving Eto? he was just a toy to her.)

(Subduing Jason? Found a dying man on the floor and just dragged his corpse back to CCG)

(Kurona and Shiro? Couldn't even finish them off and got almost gutted in the process.)

(Auction? Teamwork with his squad and fodder slaughter.)

(Kurona second round? Teamwork and kakuja-equipment. No solo achievement anywhere.)

In hindsight, him being the "second Arima" only shows how low CCG's standards has become at this point after losing so many powerful investigators.

He's a "50" standing under false pretences of being a "5000"(Arima).and from the looks of it, the only reason he got that promotion of special class, was due to the teamwork effort of taking down BM and slaughter a ton of fodder ghouls.

His promotion to "Next Arima" after Rue?

Him basically surviving the encounter with "Floppy" (thanks to his squad) and that's it. Not saying anything when he got it.

His promotion to S3 squad leader? Him slaughtering a army of (human) fodder clowns and surviving being toyed with by Uta's clone.

As evident by the list, he is not that impressive and if anything, overhyped thanks to Furuta and CCG.

Basically, his entire reputation is basically one big lie, pushed on him by others, just as the reputation of being a "crazy cat-killer" during his academy years was pushed on him by the teachers who covered for the former torture teacher who also covered for the things Mutsuki did back then.

And that also went by without him saying anything to correct it.

Juuzou as a character is basically one big scapegoat, for both the crimes and efforts of others around him, as he stays silent regardless of what is heaved upon his shoulders. He says nothing and just rolls with it, not giving a damn to either reject or cultivate that image others have of him, doing whatever he wants.

His only achievement, is that he survives dangeorus encounters, not winning them. That's it.

So in the end, Juuzou is overhyped in-story by CCG who has been using him as a scapegoat from the moment he got enlisted by them...and it's about to bite them hard the moment their "scapegoat" joins the rest of the herd due to certain circumstances.
