The Tokyo Ghoul series is classified as a dark fantasy, but its appeal is not only in its story filled with deep sadness and despair, but also in the thrilling battle scenes expressed by Sui Ishida's artistic skill. We will introduce each character's background and the most captivating battle scenes in a ranking format. There will be both positive and negative opinions, but this is purely a subjective judgment.
10th place: Suzuya Juuzou

His background
He looks like a girl, but he's a boy. He was originally a "pet" kidnapped by ghouls. After being taken in by the CCG, he joined the agency as an exception and, as a result of his achievements, became a special investigator at the age of 22. Now that Arima is gone, he reigns as the CCG's most powerful asset!
VS Kurosen

The battle against the ghoul Kuro in the Ru Island battle was the most exciting! It was a battle where the previous Quinque named 13's (Juuzou's) Jason and another new Quinque were unveiled. It's Arata JOKER! By equipping the Arata series, which not only increases defense but also improves the user's movement, Juuzou is definitely counted as one of the strongest characters in the series!
9th place Owl (Masamichi Takizawa)

History
In the previous work "Tokyo Ghoul," he was active as a CCG ghoul investigator, but in "Tokyo Ghoul:re," he was forced to undergo a half-ghoul surgery by Professor Kano and appears as a one-eyed ghoul. Many readers were likely left speechless by his drastic transformation from the original Masamichi. It is hard to believe that he is the same person, but it is believed that his personality collapsed as a result of the brutal torture he received at the hands of the Aogiri Tree after the half-ghoul surgery.
VS Sasaki Haise

This is the battle in the auction arc, where Owl first appears. The impact of the battle reminded us of how interesting Tokyo Ghoul is. It's a hot battle that awakens Haise! There must be many fans who were fascinated by the battle in the anime. Don't miss it!
8th place Uta

His career
He is a ghoul who has appeared in the previous work. He runs a mask shop called "HySy ArtMask Studio" in the 4th district and is a member of the ghoul organization "Pierrot." Since Uta's red eyes are always visible, it seems that sunglasses are a necessity when she goes out. Incidentally, when Haise asked her about the color of her eyes, she immediately replied that it was a tattoo.
VS Noro

I originally wanted to choose something from "Tokyo Ghoul:re", but the fact is that Noro only used his kagune in this one scene from the previous film! In ":re", he relies on his extraordinary recovery power and does not attack or dodge! Uta's abilities have not been revealed, so there is a good chance that the rankings will change in the future! Also, Noro's kagune is expected to be quite versatile. It is thought that he uses his kagune to enlarge his hands and change his face.
7th place: Donato

His career
He is a ghoul priest who runs an orphanage. He is called "Father" by the CCG, and was imprisoned in Cochlea from the previous work until the 10th volume of Tokyo Ghoul:re. "I love rolling the children's eyes, where their clear intelligence resides, like candy," he said, which explains why he runs an orphanage.
VS Urie

After escaping from Cochlea, he engages in combat with Urie and the Quinx Squad! He has a unique kagune that resembles a combination of crosses, and is powerful in every way, with its separation ability, speed that Urie cannot react to, and durability! Personally, I don't think he is a ghoul that fits into the SS rating. I think he is one of the strongest ghouls, alongside the SSS-rated ghoul "Non-Killing Owl." He is defeated by Urie who has framed out, but it seems that he was an alter ego created by his kagune that separated from his main body. He is just too strong!
6th place: Shiho Renji
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui / Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
His career
He is a member of Anteiku and is a close aide to Yoshimura. His comrades call him Yomo. He is a quiet person, and is mainly in charge of information gathering and other tasks. He is skilled in martial arts, and in the past, he was able to fight on equal terms with Uta and cause chaos in the 4th district.
VS Uta

It seems that Yomo, who has been like a friend to Uta for many years, will be fighting Uta! Judging from their unusual appearances, Uta and Shikata seem to be quite formidable opponents!
You won't want to miss this battle! The two of them enter this battle as enemies. They were not on good terms from the start, and it seems they continued to fight every day.
5th place: Yoshimura (Kouzen)
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui / Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
His career
He is the manager of a coffee shop called Anteiku, a hideout for ghouls in the 20th ward. He was originally a ghoul with the strongest abilities, and called himself Kouzen. She fights the CCG as Owl in place of her daughter, One-Eyed Owl, and is later retrieved and used as an experiment to create ghouls.
VS Owl Extermination Line

As with Uta, the best bouts were chosen from the previous series. This is an excerpt from the operation to defeat the Owl at the end of the previous work. He fights against selected investigators without backing down. Manager Yoshimura (the non-killing Owl) could have escaped, but he faced the CCG himself to avoid taking the ghouls of Ward 20 with him. He was a kind-hearted ghoul who loved humans and hated killing, but it seems the world did not forgive him.
4th place: Hoito Roma
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui/Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
Career
She was one of the members of Pierrot, but in fact she was the founder of Pierrot, and although she calls herself an "innocent girl," she is actually 51 years old.
She has had no parents since she was old enough to understand, and before founding Pierrot, she was alone, killing both humans and ghouls to kill time.
After that, bored with her monotonous daily life and jealous of the glamorous human society, she founded Pierrot, a group of hedonists. However, the fact that she was the founder is unknown to the CCG, let alone the members of Pierrot themselves.
VS Urie and Kuroiwa
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui / Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
She corners Urie and Kuroiwa with attacks that take advantage of their overwhelming physical differences! Furthermore, she transforms into a monster in a sense, surprising even the SSS-rated ghoul "Uron's Mother," a one-eyed owl who looks like a hand has grown out of a giant Utsudon. He also has a connection with former Chairman Washuu Tsuneyoshi, and was once defeated by him as an SSS-rated ghoul.
3rd Place: Furuta Nifu
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui/Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
History
He is the head of the CCG and a half-human from a branch of the Washuu clan. Washuu was "mass-producing" half-humans at an institution called Hakubitei. His motives are unknown, but despite being a half-human with a short lifespan, he underwent a half-ghoul transformation operation by Kanou, and through some strategy, he became the head of the CCG. He then had Kaneki eat himself and an Oggai, creating Nagaraja.
VS Kaneki Ken

While talking nonstop, Furuta pulls out a sword, Quinque, similar to the one V has, and says with a grin, "I'm surprisingly strong," while Kaneki, who is also super cool, snaps his fingers. Behind him, a huge kagune that looks like a scale or feather kagune is manifested.
2nd Place: Arima Kishou
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui / Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
Career
A half-human from Byakujitsutei, he was the strongest investigator of the CCG, known as the Grim Reaper. He has an anecdote about killing a ghoul with an umbrella, and not only has he faced off against the One-Eyed Owl and the Non-Killing Owl on his own, but at the end of the previous film he overwhelmed Kaneki, who had become a half-glow ghoul. In this film he is ultimately defeated by Kaneki, but he missed hundreds of chances to win, and perhaps his suicidal thoughts meant he was not using his full strength.
VS Kaneki Ken
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui / Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
This is the scene where Arima overwhelms Kaneki who is heading to rescue Manager Yoshimura (the Non-Killing Owl). The story unfolded so one-sidedly that many people have speculated that Arima is a ghoul. This is a famous scene that shows how strong Arima is, worthy of being called the Grim Reaper! It was an important battle that has many fans and will have a deep impact on Kaneki's future.
1st place: Kaneki Ken

Biography
He is the protagonist of this work, who was a human but became a half-ghoul due to Kanou, and eventually became a half-ghost. In the world of Tokyo Ghoul, he continues to grow while struggling with the contradictions between being a ghoul and being a human, and eventually defeats even the strongest investigator, Arima. He has now made a miraculous comeback, causing his kagune to go out of control and transforming into a dragon called Nagaraja.
VS Arima Kishou
Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui/Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
It was the first time Kaneki realized that he wanted to live, and it was a meaningful battle to surpass Arima and become the One-Eyed King! In the previous fight against Arima (Fukurou subjugation battle), he was defeated devastatingly, but this time he has grown and fought in a way that got everyone excited. The battle between these two is sure to be the most exciting scene in Tokyo Ghoul!
Summary
It is difficult to define the strongest, but at this point I have to say that Kaneki Ken, who has overcome various painful experiences, is worthy of being called the strongest. Why not take another look at them with your own interpretation?
