That is more plausible, but it seems like this is going off the assumption that Arima has not eaten in a while, which would then stunt regeneration.

However, the cut he has is very small and would be such as easy thing to heal (unlike starved Nishiki's stomach wound after fighting Kaneki) that I doubt even holding back on feeding would do such a thing, Even if he had hit the point, it would have been noticeable in his behavior (ghoul's hunger being hell).

Also, Tsukiyama starved himself during the Gourmet so he could fully savor Kaneki. He was able to regrow his eyes and heal most of his own wounds from Touka's attack, which were far worse injuries.
