There's no need to get personal, Anon. Please refrain from doing so, as there's no need for it.

I'm sorry if you get offended at the idea of people "doubting" Kaneki, but some of us are looking at the larger picture. We appear to be nearing a mid-point of the series, and the opponent Kaneki is facing is 'ETO. It isn't simply a matter of her being established as beyond anything we have seen from any other Ghoul, Kaneki included....but consider the narrative.

Eto is one of the central figures of the Tokyo Ghoul universe, and a major Antagonist responsible for driving the plot of the story. Her being defeated at such an early stage wouldn't make sense from a literary perspective, since she is a figure within the mythos of the series on par with Arima. She is also a character with a narrative that parallels Kaneki's own experiences, and Yoshimura's wish was for him to save her.

So unless Ishida is planning to remove Aogiri as the major force in the Ghoul world, Eto being beaten at this point doesn't work. Right now, she is the Ghoul threat of the series. Kaneki beating her now would be like beating one of the Final Bosses half-way through the game.
