[Arima vs Kaneki]

After receiving a strong blow, Arima is hunched over.

Arima: …
Kaneki: …It’s over.
Kaneki: Your Quinque has been damaged, in this situation, fighting is—

As if to block out those words, Arima leaps away.

Arima: …I have to continue until I kill the opponent.
Kaneki: !!

Kaneki lets out his kagune and it gets cut down by the already broken Quinque. Soon enough, Kaneki stops Arima’s Quinque with his right arm, both of them right in front of each other.

Kaneki: This is so like you….
Arima: …

The two take distance again while judging each other’s actions.

Kaneki: (For sure… if it’s Arima-san, he can still fight even with a damaged Quinque…)
Kaneki: (Should I aim for his leg…? To stop his movement…)
Kaneki: (Or his arm…)

Kaneki was keeping an eye on Arima’s right arm which was holding the Quinque but Arima manages to pierce thru Kaneki’s abdomen with the Quinque.

Kaneki: …..The fight… has already been… decided.
Kaneki: Doing something like this…
Kaneki: Is pointless (in vain).
Arima: …

Arima slowly pulls out the Quinque.

Arima: ………………………..
Arima: …So you also don’t have intentions of…. killing me?
Kaneki: …Yes.
Arima: …………………

Arima: ….So this is defeat.

Arima: I’ve been an investigator for 18 years.
Arima: …And this is the first time I became empty-handed  in front of the opponent.

Arima: I’ll ask you again one last time.

Kaneki: …!

Arima: So you have no intention of doing the final kill?
Kaneki: …My feelings haven’t changed.

Arima: ….
Arima: Alright.

And using the broken Quinque, Arima slices a part of his neck.
