Pretty funny considering all the mysterious aura surroundinng him is what makes him stood out and becomes one of the fan favorite. It's obvious that Ishida intentionally keeps everything about Arima in the dark except for his exceptionally combat skills. We know nothing about his thoughts, intention, motivation and most of all his background apart from being CCG unbeatable Reaper. His character being one of the major mystery(and the wall that Kaneki to overcome, physically and emotionally) in this manga is what make his character really intriguing.

More or less Arima relationship with the fandom is somewhat like pre-Anteiku Raid Suzuya but he still got it better than Suzuya, he is still well-loved mainly because his complex relationship with Kaneki. Like someone said before me, Ari/Kane relationship runs deeper that it seems and we can just simply pinpoint their dynamic in one circle. Whether it's a mere father-son bond, or master-servant/owner-pet relationship, or mentor-student; it's hard to tell bc we dont know exactly how they feel about each other considering their pasts combined the Kaneki's personality and Arima's job. More than anything, the complexity of Arima/Kaneki relationship despite seeing their interaction for few chapters and less or more ten lines conversation between them but the subtle and hints between them actually give more layers to both characters.

Ishida really LOVES to tie Arima/Kaneki to each other(ever since Part 1)more than any character.
