Kisho Arima Personal Information

Arima's Personal Information

Foot Size27.5cm
GenderMale

Arima is a cool male character with white mushroom-cut hair and glasses. His hair color was deep blue when he was a child, but later changed to white. I will go into detail later on as to why it changed, but he is half human, and half humans have strong physical abilities but age quickly, so I speculate that his hair turned white because his lifespan became shorter. It's just like why white hair looks good on old people.

Arima was a genius since he was a boy, and his fighting sense against Ghoul was outstanding. The details are told in Another story Jack of Tokyo Ghoul. Here, let's review his career as a CCG investigator.

If I could achieve this level of success in the company I work for, I would be promoted to the executive ranks... Arima was discovered by Tsuneyoshi Washuu at the age of 16 and assigned to the CCG. After just 13 years with the organization, he was promoted to Special Class investigator at the young age of 29 (the highest rank for investigators in the CCG).

Arima's personality is always calm, and he fights fearlessly even when surrounded by a large number of ghouls. He also has the bold decision-making ability. Forexamle, In the battle he throw away his broken Quinque and switch to a new one in battle. However, he is far from an ideal boss. This is because he was teaching his junior colleague Take Hirako, with whom he was a partner from the age of 22 to 28, he ended up confusing Take with his clumsy explanations.

Arima was so strong that he was given the nickname "CCG's Reaper" by Ghoul.
If I were a Ghoul I'd definitely run away or pray to God

Kisyo Arima's True Adentity|Is Arima Ghoul?

tokyo ghoul arima true identity
(Quote : Tokyo ghoul anime)

Arima's true identity is that of an artificially created half-human, half-ghoul. He is also the One-Eyed King, leader of the Aorigi.

The reason why Arima took such measures is that he was artificially created and was ordered by the Washuu family to exterminate the ghouls. Although he had killed many Ghouls with his overwhelming fighting prowess, he seemed tired of taking lives. At that time, he meets Eto, who tells him that she will destroy this shitty world. He is so impressed by her words that they team up behind the scenes to establish the Aogiri Tree.

Arima's purpose is if there was a ghoul who killed Arima, it would be a source of hope for all ghouls, Arima has spent his days searching for someone who can surpass himself.

It seems Arima was on the side of the ghouls.

The Washuu family probably never imagined that Arima would be thinking something like this.


Kisho Arima Highlight Battle Recoreds

Kisho Arima Vs Eto or Yoshimura

tokyo ghoul arima vs eto
(Quote : Tokyo ghoul anime)

This is the fight where Arima's fighting sense really showed up. Arima was only 19 years old when he faced off against Owl. Owl was an SSS-rated Ghoul with Yoshimura inside. He puts up an equal fight with Yoshimura, but is just one step away from escaping, but he does manage to slice off Owl's right arm, making it the greatest achievement in the CCG at the time.

The next Owl that Arima faced was Eto. This fight scene is really cool, but Arima and Eto don't seem to be serious. Eto runs away in the middle of the fight... They seem to have some kind of relationship, and since the anime is subtitled "Dancing Flower", they might have been dancing instead of fighting. Yes, it seems that Arima deliberately participated in the battle to allow Eto to escape, creating an escape route for her.

Although it's not depicted in the story, Arima fought Eto before meeting Yoshimura.
Without even knowing it, Arima has both the investigators and the Ghouls dancing like a puppet on strings!!

Kisho Arima Vs Ken Kaneki

tokyo ghoul arima vs kaneki
(Quote : Tokyo ghoul anime)

The fight between Arima and Kaneki can be viewed in a different light if you know Arima's true purpose.

Arima and Kaneki have fought twice, and Kaneki lost the first time. Although Arima was overwhelmingly stronger at the time, he saw Kaneki's potential as his successor and captured him. Arima, who had been killing ghouls up until now, let Kaneki survive and he himself taught Kaneki or Haise Sasaki combat training.

otemoto

Perhaps Arima used his Special Class Investigator powers to keep Kaneki alive. That must have been quite an unreasonable request.

In the second battle, Kaneki faced Arima as Sasaki and defeated him for the first time. Arima accepted Kaneki as his successor and committed suicide by slicing his own artery. With his dying breath, he revealed the secrets of the CCG and the Washuu family, and died in Sasaki's arms as Sasaki.

Now Sasaki, aka Kaneki, has become the hope of Ghoul right?

Kisho Arima's Quinques

Yukimura 1/3

Tokyo ghoul yukimura
(Quote : Tokyo ghoul anime)

Dual Sword provided by CCG. It is rated B and was later passed on to Hirako and Sasaki.

IXA's

tokyo ghoul re arima quinque
(Quote : Tokyo ghoul anime)

The name is cool and the performance is very good and S+ Rate. The ideal weapon IXA looks like a rapier, but it can also spread out like a fan to defend itself. However, the defensive mode was damaged by the rampaging Kaneki, and it seems that it has not been used since then. It is also a useful weapon that can be controlled from a distance.

Narukami

tokyo ghoul quinque Narukami
(Quote : Tokyo ghoul anime)

This is also an S+ rated Quinque and has a sword-like mode and a gun-like mode, allowing for both close- and long-range combat. Created from Touka's mother and Yomo's sister (her name is unknown), Narukami's Japanese name is "鳴雷" which means Roar thunder.

Owl's

tokyo ghoul arima vs kaneki
(Quote : Tokyo ghoul anime)

An SSS-rated Quinque, it was created when Arima cut off Yoshimura's arm when he was 19. It was first used during Arima's battle with Sasaki. Its abilities are unknown, but it is likely to be quite strong, as it is Yoshimura's Kagune.
