Their relationship is definitely complicated, that's for sure. But regardless of how things started between them, Arima has been his mentor for more than three years. Arima really is the closest thing he's had to a father figure, especially since Kaneki has never had one prior to becoming Arima's protege.

And it's clear, in spite of what happened between them in the beginning, Kaneki still cares about Arima. Regaining his memories didn't destroy the years he'd had to grow fond of Arima.
