Ishui. First of all, besides the fact that Eto let him cannibalize on her, REMEMBER THIS, we know that Kaneki's original kagune was already very powerful from cannibalizing on other ghouls, but he hasn't done it for 3 years straight.

AFTER he finally returns to his dark persona, you can see that his kagune is already VERY SIMILAR to Eto's eventhough he never didn't eat her yet.

If he continued cannabalizing ghouls, he might've even been way stronger than what we saw during the Tsukiyama raid. Anyways, the thing was that after achieving full kakuja (dragon like kakuja) with the help of Eto's full kakuja which helped give him a boost in the process, he still got completely rekted by Arima. Remember, simply cannabalizing for some time can let you achieve a full kakuja. Arata Kirishima who's a regular ghoul did that and got the full one.

After giving up on his former intentions and "ghouls" (goals) ;D he truely awakens and the real state of his kagune forms.

(Intelligence/creativity + strength) As mentioned several times earlier, Kaneki is a literal genius which is one of the main factors to why his kagune after returning looks very messed up and kakuja like. (a shit ton of arms branching out)

That means Eto isn't really as responsible for his strength as some people think. She only made his kagune more of a kakuja, but in the end, he ended up with a new, much much much more stronger kakuja form that doesn't have much of a resemblance to Eto's except for the mouths.

Yes, the mouth caused Arima to attack one of the tentacles instead of what he thought was Kaneki, but everyone keeps saying that Arima's "eyesight" is the reason why he lost. Well... for someone like Arima, he wouldn't turn around, check to make sure before he goes and attack what he's aiming for as a target. He most-likely turned around while delivering a swing with his quinque at the same time to strike immediately, but was apparently fooled by Kaneki's kakuja voice.
