The thing about the "Sadistic and Massive" statement is that it was specifically about how to draw him. If you'll recall, within the series itself, we are told that many people feel that Arima has an incredibly intimidating aura about him. Most particularly, it's mentioned in the final scene of JACK when one of Fura's subordinates comments about how Arima has such a massive and intimidating presence.

So we really cannot be sure how true that statement of "Sadistic and Massive" is to the character of Arima as a person. But it definitely applies in terms of creating the presence of the character on the page. He's meant to be someone that seems unapproachable, frightening, and larger than life. But the people that actually know him seem to mostly think of him in a positive fashion, and find him kind of endearing or just plain awkward and weird.
