The more I think about the Anteiku Raid, the more I feel like there's still a few pieces missing. Or are at least left up to the imagination now that we know that Arima was the OEK. Some of the things not entirely cleared up I think are how much communication Eto and Arima had with each other and how they factored in Kaneki (if at all).

However, their confrontation could be for a reinforcement of sorts, just maybe not related to them appearing as enemies. A big part of their plan revolved around "reputation". Arima was built up as the biggest mofo around and his defeats of the OEO boosted moral. Now Kaneki has the reputation as the biggest and baddest mofo; the guy who defeated Arima who previously stopped Eto in all her Eldritch horror. The CCG considered him near unstoppable, and whenever Arima defeated the OEO, their confidence raised. It's not only been shot down, but now they have Kaneki to fear.

TL;DR Make Arima look like an even bigger bad ass than he already is and it'll hurt even more when he's inevitably killed by his own successor.
