Quite the contrary. I'd said Saiko is the least creative and imaginative character of the series when it comes to Kagune. Eto is a creative user. Saiko just copies shapes for her kagunes, wich has it's own meriths. I once read that due to internet and tv, the new generations are very good at understanding codes made by others, but very bad at making their own codes. Saiko, being an otaku like you said, I thing captures this idea. Due to the time she spends watching TV, reading manga, and playing games, she is very good at copying things others have done (clearly shown this chapter with the weapon she copied from the magazine, but she also imitated a cordyceps, a hinduist goddes, and *hulk* arms). None of the forms her kagune has taken have been imaginative. She didnt create anything. She excels at remembering codes made by others, and using them at the right time. Her hugging Urie and ending his rampage that way is also a copycat of what Mutsuki did. Unbeknown to her, her declaring before the fight that she doesnt want to lose anyone is just reapeating Urie's declaration. I think this hints that her behaviour, her caring for her friends, is modeled after Urie. The climax of the chapter clearly states this: "Baka, stop it. I'm looking. I have been looking [and copying] all this time." By watching others, she learns trough imitation.

I said Eto was creative. This is due to her uncommon childhood and her reading habit. This is not only apparent in her kagune shapes, but also in her books. Kaneki, I'd say, is the perfect combination of both traits. He copies a lot of things, but uses them in very creative ways.

TL,DR: Saiko power = meme power.
