Get this, what if Kaneki plans to team up with Eto in order to kill Arima?

It would make sense, sort of. First, Kaneki let Eto live. Dispite whether Eto let him win when they fought or if she was actually defeated, you have to admit that Kaneki didn't even try to kill her. He cut her in half, which isn't bad for a ghoul like Eto, but didn't even try to damage her further despite knowing that she survived. He just stood there and let her fall, probably to where his severed hand landed so that she could have something to eat and heal from.

Second, he keeps her identity a secret(to our knowledge at least.). We presume that he didn't give any information on who Eto really is. If that's true, then maybe he has bigger plans for her. Plans that don't involve her being on the run constantly or locked up.

Third, he hates Arima with a burning passion. Or at least wants to kill him. After decapitating Kanae he starts rambling about how he wants to kill Arima. Adding in the images of Arima pointing Ixa at Kaneki's eyes and you get a legit reason for a revenge killing.

Lastly, Eto and Kaneki are Arima's most powerful enemies. He even commented on how good Kaneki was at combat. So there's no doubt that a trained Kaneki is more powerful, especially now that his kagune evolved. Eto's also faced Arima before and is leagues above what he normally fights. So him having to fight both the Centipede and the One-eyed Owl would definitely stress his abilities.

So what do I think? Kaneki is working his way up the ranks to get closer to Arima. After that, he'll contact Eto and get her to go to a specific location for an ambush. Then he would lead Arima there, probably with false information on a ghoul lurking in that area. Eto gets in her kakuja, Kaneki closes off the escape route, and whoever Arima's with gets eliminated by random Aogiri members. Then the fated battle begins. Bonus points if Take shows up and sees Arima getting overpowerd but decides not to help him.
