In Tokyo Ghoul:Re 2, episode 2, Kichimura tears the one-eyed owl kakuja apart
easily, when she was supposed to be the strongest Ghoul until that point in
the anime series. Why was it so easy for Kichimura to tear the one-eyed owl
kakuja apart?

**Why was it so easy for Kichimura to tear the one-eyed owl kakuja apart?**
Because Kichimura is not as weak as he makes it seem to be. He is one of the
[half-humans](http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Half-human) raised in the
Sunlit Garden, together with Arima. As stated
[here](http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Half-human),

> Half-humans have highly developed physical capabilities, and I think a good
> example for this difference from normal humans are Kishou Arima's and Squad
> Zero's abilities.

Apart from those enhance abilities, Kichimura also became an artificial one-
eyed ghoul, possessing Rize's kagune like Kaneki. While not directly stated in
the manga, it is heavily hinted that _one-eyed ghouls are much more powerful
than normal ones_. Rize and her kagune's strength is also recognized and this
is seen by the fact that she was the one used by Kichimura to become

> his 'dragon' after Kaneki, who was temporarily his 'dragon', was rescued
> during the Dragon War arc

With this and the fact that Kishou Arima is able to hold his own fighting Eto
before, it would, therefore, not be impossible for Kichimura to do the same,
_with the same capabilities as Arima and further enhanced by Rize's kagune_.

In addition, _Kichimura has the element of surprise, and Eto was not expecting
his power_. If she knew, she might have been more careful but as seen in that
episode, she just attacked head-on and you can clearly see the look of
surprise in her face as her kakuja is torn.
