He still wants to become stronger more and more. This world requires a different sort of strength, and Kaneki will go ahead and try to master it too, if that's what it takes to protect Annie, and Reiner, and Josuke, and everyone. he has to keep going like that.

I think I deserve a punch or two. [ and yet, punches no longer hurt. Nothing does. ]
