I don't care what anyone says, Arima saved Kaneki from his self destructive ways when he was deranged, scatching his eyes out until they became infected, and obsessing over 'saving them' when he didn't even remember who they were. Arima having Kaneki choose his new name was also an added plus because really he didn't have to do any of that. Was it manipulation? Yes. But it was necessary to snap Kaneki out of destroying himself. It's obvious that during that time that Arima came to really care for Kaneki and that is what makes their relationship so complex and poignant.
