Talk:Kishou Arima/@comment-27247962-20160626092928

 I'm not sure if Arima was actually doing this with the initiative of helping Kaneki overcome something, he seemed so desperate to reach something for himself. It seemed like the face of someone who gives up on his wish...

This is such an unpopular statement, but I really ask myself if that father-son relationship wasn't a one way thing... If you can agree that it rather seemed that he was trying to get something out of Kaneki, like being killed most likely, then all those sweet moments could've purely been Arima kneading him into the killingmachine that's going to kill him.

'an opponent whom I have no course of action' --> I think we all can figure out some course of actions for him. 'opponent', 'opponent', 'opponent'... hmmm... why would a father be so hellbend on saying 'opponent' to the student he probably takes the most liking too. The fact that he says opponent gives clear indication that the possibility of becoming an ally or friend besides their different situations, is an option that doesn't even occur in his head.
