Well, we will see. But i'm sure that he will disappear. To make a (bad) comparaison, it is like the mentor of Kenshin Himura in Rurouni Kenshin : this character was faaaaaaar too strong, he would have been able to wipe out every villain without any difficulty. That's why the author imagined a pretext to keep him away from the story, though it was his favorite character...

The difference is that Arima has no reason to say "Oh well, don't want to fight ghouls anymore, good luck with that, guys." So there is no way for him to leave quietly the plot. And the fact that he is one of the favorite characters of the author does'nt prove anything : I don't think Ishida would sacrify the development of his plot to preserve a character. Because once again, Arima is making the plot stuck : if he stays alive and loyal to the CCG, there is no way Aogiri could make his plans progress. Unless there is a ghoul which is stronger than Arima. And in this case, he will fight this ghoul. And he will get killed. That's only a rationnal viewpoint in terms of narrative evolution, and I really don't see any other option...
