About Kaneki in DBD

So, one of the biggest news of this year just came out, and that is the unforseen collab of dbd and tokyo ghoul. While others see this as an absolute win, some are not satisfied with the idea.

A compelling argument against the collab is that Kaneki can never hurt a human, unless he is in his hunger-induced crazed state where he is blinded by his impulses just like any other ghoul (fortunately for him, Ishida wrote him as a hybrid who overcame this hunger). The manga and the anime clearly depicts Kaneki as the unifying figure of both humans and ghouls, that is why seeing him as a "killer" in DBD just doesn't feel right.

Don't get me wrong, I love the collab, but without a good rationale behind his actions towards the survivors is dodgy at best. That is why I have a proposal/suggestion.

Make Kaneki in his 1st centipede kakuja form. Here he is far more terrifying in his crazed state since he attacks both ghouls and humans indiscriminately blinded by his desperation to save his loved ones. It would be more compelling to play him as someone who hunts down people in this state since the Entity thrives on manipulating or influencing the beings that enter its realm.

This way, DBD can keep Kaneki as a playable character while providing a good reason to keep him under the influence of the Entity.

That's my 2 cents, I would love to hear your thoughts too. What do you think of the collab? Is it a Yay or Nay? Why?
