While it's cool to see how he kicks ass it's also something when he can solo the owl by himself. I'm just wondering how you think a character type like him impacts the story.

No way this guy is a normal human!Ghouls have better physical characteristics,much better regeneration+kagune!Investigators have only the kagune in the form of their quinques.No way this guy can beat the one-eyed owl like that if hes a normal human.

Eto's quotes about Arima :"You're here" and "He really shows no mercy" would take on a totally different meaning if this turns out to be true.Would be an awesome plot twist too

@fathertime, these are actually countless theory about Arima. Ofc nothing is true, one such theory was Arima being half-ghoul because Ishida has always covered his right eye with blood marks in some illustrations or his right eye is hidden. Arima is the most mysterious character at the moment.

Edit: Fuckin MAL, why is quick reply not working for me.

More ridikurisu theories. All can be found on makyun's asks and some reasonable are also discussed on 2ch threads. Some have been explained wrong by Makyun too.

1. Arima = Uta (based on ch 22)
2. Arima = Souta
3. Arima = Agent of organisation "V"
4. Kaneki is Arima's genetically coded clone
5. Arima = Kaneki's half-brother
6. Arima = Touka and Kaneki's child from future because Arima had blue hair and now white similar to Shironeki
7. Arima = One Eyed Ghoul or King
8. Arima x Eto will be a thing in future.


Man, we should compile all those theories in a thread. I mean, 1,2,4, 6 and 8. Lmao.

on the other hand, who the hell is souta? there is always someone whom i dont know in this manga, man. lol

i dont know what is arima but im pretty sure he is not ghoul. maybe, half ghoul. but the possibility is low, though. why cant people just think some human like him can be that strong? deal with it, humans can be strong, too. damn. that world is different from us and if there were ghouls which are extremely strong, there must be humans that are extremely strong, too. or other way, there would be ghouls' reign, not humans.

Rather than him being strong, I think he is more of a talented person who knows how to make the best use of quinques in a dire situation as said by Arcanix.

I was wondering what would be the outcome if Arima had no quinque while fighting Eto.

These things gave me a good laugh. Can't help but love the crack theories! How about Arima is a ghost. :)
The Arima is Touka and Kaneki's future son makes the Sasaki/ Arima conversations very awkward. Arima is my dad and Akira my mom... OMGAWIHAFSFOA! XD

The reason why humans are in power, because we know how to live and work together. Ghouls aren't that cooperative.

''Clearly''. The scratch Kaneki gave him was still present throughout his fight with Owl. That's one ghoul with a horrible regeneration, I can tell you that...

Arima is the CCG's ace, much like Eto is Aogiri's. For now, he exists to balance the power between the two factions. Even if he doesn't turn out to be a complex character, I'll still respect his ability.

So obvious really, even Shinohara, who is a as strong as a human can get, is nothing to a SS ghoul (kaneki)
And yes humans have a limit otherwise ghouls wouldn't be a big deal.

You wish he was just an ace.

If he could 1v1 Eto,and come out on top albeit not killing her,he probably aint human.
He was dodging those slashes like its nothing.

Also i cant believe how shit he looks in the anime.

I just wait for Ishida to tell sth more about him. He's so damn strong. I think he might be a half-ghoul although I believe that Ishida prepared something big about him during all this time since first chapter of TG was out.

Saw some illustrations on tumblr... 2 actually. One with Arima in school that had the message : "I will not lose. I will become stronger than the wolves" (wolves maybe meaning ghouls), and one with Hirako saying: "Let us fight.Even if the god of death will point his blade at my throat".
After the raws of chapter 22, maybe there really is something going on between Arima and Hirako.
Eh...

You mean these?

These are the illustrations that were given to the winners of the previous Character Popularity Poll + Illustration Contest.

The Arima pic reads: "I will not lose. I will become stronger than the wolves."
The Hirako pic reads: "Let us fight. Even if the God of Death will point his blade at my throat."

Inaho got defeated when he faced those three counts simultaneously though.Arima has been undefeated in his entire career.Plus Inaho's kataphrakt is much weaker than the martian's aldnoah machines.But Arima has a quinque which can shoot electricity.I doubt any ghoul has a Kagune as lethal as that!

Oh, cmon, unlike Inaho Arima is interestingly psychotic. I mean, they at least address the fact that he is scary - scarily above evryone else in skill and skarily apathetic. With Inaho it was srugged off as irrelevant and a OK.

I hope that Arima isn't a ghoul. The concept of the one god-gifted individual is too interesting to lose for another ghoul in disguise plot.

I dont think he is a ghoul. I mean we got his backstory, it would be stupped if Arima would turn out to be a ghoul or the OEK.

But he could be a member of "V", that would make sense.

Also I dont think he is so OP, when he fought agains Kaneki and Eto he had one of the best quinque with him.

Wouldn't like him to get 'packed with the wolves' as someone up said. He's one of the coolest obscure characters in the manga for me, along with Tatara. It would be stupid to trade the only godly human character for ghouls in disguise.

I really like him. He's nonplussed by extreme violence and doesn't mind dishing it out, but I think he is kind, in his own way. Even when he was naught but the dude who gauged out Kaneki's eyes amidst a veritable field of ghoul corpses, he didn't treat him as a lesser being - which is v important bc in the original, except Arima (and Juuzou, bless his little heart) every other CCG investigator thought of ghouls as mere beasts that need to be put down, and showed them zero civility, which was an asshole move no matter how you look at it.

That being said, there's something very tranquil about the guy (a surgeon! he reminds me of a surgeon lol), even when he's methodically and mercilessly annihilating ghouls. I like that kind of character, and I think he and Kaneki/Haise are rather alike personality-wise, so it's no wonder they get along well in :re. & I really liked how Arima and Haise interacted in the earlier :re chapters, Arima was very indulgent of Sasaki, which was great.

While I really love this series, I must say he is definitely the worst character of Tokyo Ghoul universe. Being genius doesn't make one physically more strong let alone his non-human strength and reflexes. Now you can tell me he increased his physical capabilities by training but it's just too much for a human considering the others in the series. Even quinques are more powerful when he is the one using them. When other people used their quinques on Eto, nothing happened. She said "it tickles". When it's Arima using them they hurt her very badly. Don't tell me he has the best quinques. He beat her without using IXA which was broken by Kaneki. It's just too much. Unless there is a good explanation he will just stay a shame for the series as a overpowered shallow character with no background, only a plot device to be more clear.

"One man kills everyone. he's sooooo powerful, very gooooood character."
Childish bullshit.
