>I think the problem isn't that Arima is a badly-written character, but rather that you're looking at his purpose and role the wrong way.

You gave a valid argument about both already - that he was born, was bred for, and lives for a single thing: exterminating ghouls. Everything else a person may need he needs not, because whatever it is it doesn't help exterminating ghouls. Which is why I highly doubt he even questions the fact that he's V's lapdog and does their bidding.

All this speculating about him acknowledging his own hypocrisy or wanting to die (!!!) is just that, speculation for the time being. I agree however that, whenever we'll finally learn the truth about this guy, it'll be big.

It doesn't change that I want the guy to die in the most painful way possible. To give an example related to the dialogue provided: suppose I'm in Yomo's shoes in a normal reality and my beloved sister sells drugs or does other questionable things to support the family, then one day the police gets her, puts her through the wringer and she dies in custody.

Would you seriously ask me to 'try and understand why they did so' in such a situation? Because in my country shit like that happened for real - petty criminals being murdered by police and the perpetrators being protected because they are law enforcers.
