who knows (about the V ordering) However, what we know is that Arima merely wanted Kaneki as a tool, as stated, "Kaneki, you're good" and "I need a new quinque." Arima did see potential in Kaneki, hence why he didn't grant the final blow.

I don't think Arima thought Kaneki would regain his memories at all (especially after meeting him in cochella and knowing Kaneki was pretty much insane), that's why he used him as a new "quinque" but somewhere down the line, Kaneki became more than just a tool to Arima. Even to this day, his agenda is still mysterious, like the character itself.

Oooh, this character reminds me of Gatsby.
