I really hope eventually we'll learn more about Arata, because he's such a mystery.

Though I disagree with your conclusion, there. Primarily because of what we know about the risks of being a Ghoul, which Arata would have been painfully aware of being a widower. Letting someone go that saw his face = endangering his family. He wouldn't have been able to afford to be merciful to anyone that went after him, because doing so would have meant exposing his children to danger. (As happened when he was taken down.)

In the one shot from Chapter 104, there's a lot of bodies. We don't have context as to whether that's the "trail of kakuja traces" or if that's from his last stand. But those were very intentional killings, because we see throat and abdomen injuries which are pretty much fatal. We also get told that he scavenged human corpses, but also engaged in wide-spread cannibalism. So that doesn't rule out him intentionally killing and eating other Ghouls, as opposed to merely scavenging them since it's mentioned separate from his scavenging of corpses.
