I really don't understand why people are acting surprised or annoyed by this revelation. We already knew way back in the original series that Kanou wanted to make more artificial half-Ghouls, which was confirmed when Kuro and Shiro were introduced. They didn't want Kaneki less appealing or special, nor do I think introduction of the hinted Aogiri Owls is going to ruin that.

If there are others and they're anything like Takizawa, then they sure aren't in any state to play mediator. Amon is probably the only one besides Kaneki with any potential or interest in being a bridge between the worlds, and Amon was always Kaneki's foil.

Instead, it seems like we're seeing why it was a VERY VERY good thing that Aogiri didn't have their hands on Kaneki for long. It also shows what incredible strength Kaneki has as a person, to have survived and thrived in the circumstances handed to him.
