The anime was not the exact it was an alternate continuity. It was described as another Tokyo Ghoul. The quinques do not have souls but they could retain a degree of sentience in specfic circumstances. The Arata armor reacted because it was fighting his son Ayato and Shirazu has nightmares because he was the person who killed Nutcracker. Both incidents are signifcant because of the emotional connection. What Yoshimura stated was important because he states Arata was not lending Shinohara strength indicating he believes that quinques could retain a degree of sentience. Nobody knows what happened to Arata except he was captured but he could be in storage.
