I think all that "not even trying"-nonsense should have to stop. Many people like to use the word "effortlessly" when they discuss fighting in series like these, and apparently fail to see that combat is actually not an activity you can do very casually. Arima is a very collected individual, sure, but to deem his movements to be made without effort would be misguided. Even if you reach a level of strength and overall ability where you far outmatch your opponents, the effort you put into it doesn´t go away, it can only be dilluted to be rather energy-conservant, and I would imagine Arima has good control over his breathing so he can recover his stamina reasonably well, but that is not to say he´s not even trying. It is difficult to determine his interest in his latest battle, but regardless of it, both Kaneki & Hinami and the retreating group of Ukaku were heading towards or were on the lower levels, which is most likely where he´ll be going...

You don´t go into life-and-death situations casually, not unless you do so from a very powerful frame, and even then when you´re in your right mind you´ll probably have some idea of when you´re pushing your luck.
