^How do you even prove something is "genuine" or not? To me, the scenes where is affections are shown seemed genuine to me, and Arima is honestly not someone who shows emotions unless he actually feels them.

Also, how do you know he did that training thing out of sadism? Again, it's very similar to Touka's training in the first series, but no one's going to argue Touka is a sadist. Of course, that's because Touka expresses herself a lot more and we were shown a lot of things from her perspective. Arima on the other hand, is still a mystery. We don't know for sure either way if he's an actual cruel person or simply a person who only knew a life of killing and fighting but still has the capacity to feel human emotions like love.

But, again, considering how he's generally so emotionless, I'm inclined to believe the rare times he shows emotions are when he truly feels them.
