I really like the usage of the symbolism in that fnal panel with Arima and Kaneki, (The Arima side that is)

Anyone who remembers how Ishida kept a overshadowed line across Hairu´s neck in her panels?

Well, in this latest chapter, the right side of Arima´s face is completely overshadowed, you can´t even see his eye anymore.

Not only that, but the shadows that´s on his body? They´re rounded. Just like his tunnel vision that we saw during the Auction when he looked at Haise at that time.

Not only does this use of shadows hint that Arima´s Right eye might have gotten completely blind at this point, but it also shows how much awareness of himself that Arima got and the extend of his blindspot.

Arima can´t see beyond the darkness that´s shown in the panel, which means that he won´t see any attacks coming up from below. and aimed at his waist. His right forearm and hand is overshadowed as well from that angle, further showing the border of his eyesight´s limits.

Arima has been described as a "machine" only designed to "kill"

Just like a machine, he has done only what his creators intended from it.

Just like a machine, his sole existence has been dedicated to a single thing that it was built to do.

Just like a machine, he has killed and killed without any shred of emotion or guilt behind its actions.

And just like a machine... he´s gradually losing functional prestanda as "parts are worn out", "the gears rust" and "his functions stagnates", with every year that pass of the same monotone work that he has been pushed through 24/7...

But...ironically enough... because he´s "human", He can´t be "RE:paired".

Only "RE:placed"

(This is the main purpose behind the Quinx´s existence from the get-go... "Create a Investigator that can "surpass" Arima (Aka "REplace" him)"...)

Arima is dying just like a machine... and just like the ghouls are "decommisioned" like "wrecked cars", so will Arima be "decommisioned" like a piece of junk the moment he loses his worth as a "asset" to V.

Arima has already lost, from the moment he got involved in the world of Ghouls and V...

...All he really can do, as a "human being", is choosing the circumstances of "How" he wants to die.

He´s essentially what "Shironeki" would have been if Arima hadn´t stopped him.

A dead man walking.
