I beg to differ, I the original tokyo ghoul, the CcG was wrecking lifes, they killed hinami's mother, raid the tree twice killing or claim some powerful ghouls as weapons like jason, and they completely destroyed the manager yoshimura home and loved ones, I say they for the most were on top.
These examples are bad:
1. Hinami's mother - how was she even a threat? She was a non-fighter ghoul with a slightly above average Kagune. Any First Class investigator would've killed her, maybe even lower.
2. Jason - was basically killed by Kaneki, Suzuya just finished him off
3. As soon as Aogiri came in the CCG started losing badly. It was only after Arima arrived that they started gaining back their moral, not that Eto's main goal wasn't to retrieve her father.
- Their raid on Aogiri's HQ? Fail, as it was only a diversion, and Cochlea was breached.
- The final aftermath? Lots of CCG investigators dead or MIA, real One-Eyed Owl still free.
Don't see how that's them being on top.
