^ Arima committed suicide because his death was a necessary component of their revolution. He was the most powerful figure in the ghoul and human world, so for Kaneki to become the OEK Arima had to have died in battle against him. He was also already dying of old age.

It's really not fair to compare Arima and Kaneki when it comes to their ability to cope. Arima shouldered the burden of being an artificially bred weapon his entire life despite his inherently pacificistic nature, and cultivating a coup against the CCG for years without revealing a shred of his intentions. Kaneki could barely hold his double-crossing together for a few months without falling apart. But Kaneki had been a normal kid up until about years ago, and now he's more mutated than any ghoul. Given that he's coping pretty well.

Anyway, both are are examples of ability crystallizing under extreme pressure. That's why CCG is desperate to create another Arima, and Kanou to create another Kaneki.
