 His pride prevents him from even taking 'ONE step back', if you look at the fight, you can backtrack and see that Arima has never taking one step back when faced with an opponent. He always let's his opponent charge at him, but even now rather then running or creating distance, he charges in, he moves ahead, he progresses. First charging in towards mid range, slashing off kagunes thrown at him, reaching mid he has a fierce battle with Kaneki's kagunes, but feels like this won't do the job, so charges in even further, closing the gap between him and Kaneki all the while deflecting everything Kaneki throws at him. Arima decides to close the gap and stab him in the gut as a last resort, to come to the inevitable conclusion that he's out of option, he rushed in/charged 'til a point where he is confronted by a wall he can't get passed. And he takes a step back ! He has taken his first step back & realizes this is the first fight where his opponent can't be slain and to preserve what little pride and honor he still has left & prevent from falling back even further, he decides to kill himself  '''on that spot where he took his first step back! '(symbolizing the stagnating point Arima has reached)''
