I found something interesting from tumblr about Furuta. In Chapter 58 of Re, when Furuta is singing “Donna Donna” if you look closely at his left cheek, the lines of his face appear to form the number 15, the Devil’s arcana. The Devil’s arcana is represented by traits like bondage, addiction, and breaking free from bondages and addictions. This is definitely a correlation with the song that Furuta was singing and the birds in his TRUMP card which may give some insight into Furuta’s goals and motivation.

Given the song, it is likely that the calf in “Donna Donna” symbolizes ghouls, trapped by their animalistic desire to consume human flesh. No matter how civilized a ghoul may be or how pacifistic they are, they still need to eat human flesh. The farmer symbolizes humans. In the eyes of the CCG, they are the tzadik, the righteous men. They’ve been indoctrinated into believing that they are heroes of justice, protecting humanity from “monsters”. But in the end, they are both caged to the “balance” of this world of ghouls eating humans and humans killing ghouls.

Therefore, people like Furuta, Dr. Kanou, and other members of Aogiri like Eto, can be symbolized as the sparrow in the song. They are trying to break through the “cage” of this world, most likely by trying to turn people into human-ghoul hybrids (now that they have Shirazu’s corpse, they are now one step closer to that goal). In the end, Furuta’s goal (creating a parallel between him and Dr. Kanou) is likely towards freedom by transcending the limitations of both humans and ghouls. But for Furuta’s end goals, still remains a mystery. But given his possible connections to being Souta, he will likely use this “freedom” to try to make the world burn.
