^Well I ain't the first one but; at that time, Ken surely was tired after that torture, and all the while his ghoul powers were still "dormant" in that Ken was clinging to his human side no matter what happened to him. As soon as Rize consoles him, and he accepts his ghoul side  there was a sudden surge of energy that built from all the agony he bottled up over the years. hence, this was Kaneki's ghoul "awakening" moment.

Take this into consideration: “The body achieves what the mind believes.” With Arima, it’s evident that Kaneki was somehow stunned by his abilities, to the point where Kaneki began to doubt himself, because all ghouls refer to Arima as the “Death God”. So Ken was like "What move should I do next?" "Is this even going to work on him?" as Ken began this internal monologue, Kaneki started to have multiple emotional breakdowns, so his body eventually winded down. Then again, with Jason, Kaneki was cool and collected, and because he was so relaxed, he defeated Yamori. With Arima, he was anxious, confused, and he himself admitted to not be scared, but to be fully consumed by sheer "despair" due to falling into Arima’s trap. So he was vulnerable basically.

Arima works directly under the chairman, and as the “Reaper” he is, he isn’t given much tasks to do during the war to take out the top-tier ghouls, he is only sent to take out those who are of great threat such as the One-Eyed Owl, One-Eyed King, etc. If you were the chairman, and you knew that there were extremely powerful ghouls out there that couldn’t possibly be taken out by guys like Shinohara, Amon or Juuzou…would you STILL send those Investigators?? I wouldn’t! I’d assign the higher class to the most important mastermind ghouls, and leave the other classes to the top-tier ghouls. And that’s what the CCG did. So that’s basically why Arima wasn’t tired- Apart from the 12 year experience he has with that job, I’d assume that he isn’t assigned to the ordinary typical ghouls. The most dominant, compelling ghouls (most likely the leading ghouls) are those which Arima usually takes out. Hence, there's less work on his level...though it'd be counted as alot of work on a normal scale.
