Yeah it really does look like that. However, i still can't see him being on Eto's level yet even with the training he got + memory recovery. So how is that possible i wonder. ( doing it on purpose maybe?)

I don't get it either but he is eating her in the last panel lol
Explanation - "hard work beats talent"

Kaneki - trained and is very angry.
Eto - didn't train, but was born powerful.

Tbh, I never thought of Eto as skillful, fighting type of character. She is the type that is very reliant on her power.
While Arima, Kaneki, Shachi are the types of characters that train, develop skills and actually fight.

I would like to point out for a second that if Ishida does indeed decide to kill her off for good, then my respect for will reach a complete new point. If you really think about it, doing something like this not only does it take huge guts but also it is very realistic if you ask me and that's why so frightening the possibility of it coming true. We read stories expecting to draw conclusions about the characters based on their actions and personalities, yet in reality, not such chances are given necessarily. Eto is important for us, the readers and therefore for the plot but she's not important for Kaneki. She's the cause of many tragedies, including indirectly his own. He doesn't care about her, he doesn't want to understand her, he just wants to get rid of her. In a sense this comes in a direct contradiction to what "tragedy" stands for which is catharsis, however this catharsis only happens in literature, tragedy in real life has nothing do with catharsis. In reality, people die without given any chance to fix their mistakes, anonymously, and we simply don't care for these people because we simply don't know them. That in a sense is the meaning of the true tragedy and this right here is a reminder of what reality looks like.

Well if Eto died i will really miss her she was my favorite character

Anyway people who thought Kaneki and Eto are relating were wrong this chapter just like Byron123 said proved reality and that ETo is important but not important to Kaneki

She just finds him interesting like other people in the plot

I actually can agree with that Eto simply found Kaneki interesting spoilers at the end say she says she liked him not loved hi so in fact she is just the type of person i expected her to be

Eto found people interesting but for Kaneki she is not important to him the only link was the author and the One Eyed thing but well still gonna miss Eto

You mean bad writing?

Kaneki being stronger than Eto is logical, but her getting killed off out of no where like this after 2 chapters? Grade A writing right there.

That would be bad writing indeed and Ishida hasn't shown bad writing so far that's why I believe that Eto made it out of this situation.

That's a sweet assumption but I wouldn't take it for granted. From what we've seen so far, Eto went batshit in this chapter so she hardly was in the state to fight skillfully. It's more tied to the fact that hybrids have problems keeping their sanity in check in these kind of situations.

It's like Arima vs Kaneki all over again.

No I won't call it a bad writing. What I will cal it is taking risk and trying something that will get his readers angry. It's all about the execution. It can become either horrible indeed or under the correct influence something very original yet realistic. He could have simply followed the usual pattern of a stronger rival who is the final boss and things like that. What he does right now can become either exceptional or horrible. I think it will be the first though considering how he had planned everything all along.

Meh, hard work beats talent is bullshit anyway.

But what is true is that Eto apart from phenomenal powers has never shown anything skill wise. Even back in TG she blitzed a couple of plebs, and then appeared to face Arima but she at best was at a disadvantage during that fight. Back then we said ok it's because her objective was to retrieve her father's body not fight but still, she was pretty unimpressive imo.

And this time too, last chapter she was almost hit and this chapter she receives huge blows, getting beaten eventually. She relies too much on her raw power but when the opposition is equally powerful that doesn't seem to be enough. As much of an awesome antagonist as she is, fighting isn't really her thing looks like.

ugh translations under the cut
will edit here and there
Title: Second King (thank you hairlu!)
Continuing from the previous chapter where the top part of Owl’s head was sliced off by Kaneki, it starts regenerating the head.
Eto: That hurt!~ Heeeeeeyyyyyy~
Eto: moronshitscumtrash…
Eto: YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOUUU U UUUU
Eto: mamamamamekukukukugegegegege
Eto: AGHAH! I’ll eat you up till you die!
(sounds like gibberish to me atm)
The form of the head part of Owl is not like how it was before but more like those small mouths that appeared in her kagune before.
Eto: wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait agh!
(she could be saying hug, not sure)
Eto’s kagune sharply espands and attacks and Kaneki dodges it.
Eto: The inside of my head goes shower shower shower shower.
Eto: It’s becoming like planted trees! ABBLE! (apple)
Eto: Once I’ve become like this, I can no longer stop…
Eto: I’m hungry. I’m now interested in you.
Eto: Something wonderful is flowing out…
Eto: Eto-shan!
Eto: AAAAAAHHHHH! AH! AH! AH! AH!
Eto continues to attack Kaneki while Kaneki continues to dodge them.
Eto: ANEKI-KUN!!! (the k is really omitted)
Eto: So cool! WOOOO!
Eto: Tension going boogie woogie.
Eto: oh oh oh oh oh
Eto: the inside of my head goes shower shower shower shower
Kaneki reels himself back inside the builing but Eto quickly chased after him.

Kaneki continues to maneuver around not even caring if he’s on the walls. Eto continues to chase after him.
Eto: Ooh.
Kaneki continues to avoid Eto.
Eto: oh oh shore in the city
Eto: Heeeey, I’m going to let you turn into my child.
Kaneki skillfully uses his kagune and maneuvers from going over walls and then heading to the rooftop.
Eto: Hey.

Coincidentally, the wall that Kaneki maneuvered on had Matsuri on the rest moving nearby.
Investigator: Special Class Washuu! Just now, that was…?!
Matsuri: (The One-Eyed Owl and…)
Matsuri: Sasaki…

Kaneki stops on top of a steel frame on the rooftop.
Eto: Why are you running away? Let’s kill each other just once.
Eto: Hee~ Etooo, ya!
Eto prepares to attack again but Kaneki lets out several kagunes and violently pierces thru Eto.
Eto: Gugee!!! (i’m not sure if she’s referring to naki’s lackeys but if not, it’s like arghhh!)
What is left of Eto is her upper body and she is rendered weak.
Eto: huff… ack… wow…
Eto: re…d…ed…ed…ed…
Eto: kaneki-kun… lick…
As if to plant a kiss on Kaneki’s forehead, she lets out her tongue and it touches Kaneki’s left eye.
Eto: I’ve come to like you a lot! It’s because the both of us are so similar!
Kaneki: …
As only Eto’s upper body was left, she falls onto the ground.
Eto: Ufufu, ahahahahahahaha.
Eto: I’m fluttering.
Eto: I love you. Kaneki Ken.
Eto: Ahahaha…
Kaneki: It is an honor, Takatsuki-sensei.
Kaneki narrows his eyes a bit as if seeing the fallen Eto off. (saying farewell so to say)

Some time has passed and Ui and the rest arrive on the rooftop.
Investigator: Special Class Ui.
Ui: Quiet.
A sound of something being gobbled can be heard.
Ui: I can hear someth–!!
Ui: Sasaki-kun, what are you do–
Kaneki eats on the remaining lower half of Owl.
