Furuta's Super Peace

To preface this, of course, this topic has been discussed by many in the fandom already. This is merely a collection of my thoughts after reading other's thoughts ! Also, this is my first Meta so please, go easy on me haha !

So I was having a discussion with @hamliet , what is Furuta after ? What are his seemingly incomprehensible motivations ? I think his end game is ultimately for everyone to die & that will lead to peace since obviously, there will be no one alive to fight. I believe he wants to bring onto others the hurt he's been subjected to, which he still hasn't come to terms with fully, given his reaction to Eto's "How does it feel to not be able to call your father, Father ?". He wants everyone else to feel just as meaningless as he's felt.

Through the people he manipulates, one can see exactly what he's trying to prove to them.

Why does Ui fight ? For the people he cares about. Well what's the point in fighting when you're eventually fighting against the very person you care most about ?

Why does Kaneki fight ? He'd say to protect everyone, but up until his conversation with Rize, it was to secure the feeling of being needed/loved by throwing yourself away for someone in some heroic act. In doing so, he abandoned his already faulty morals, & ended up putting everyone he cares about at risk of death. What, then, would he have to live for if Touka & the baby had died from the Bastards when saving them was the reason he ate the Oggai ?

What did Mutsuki fight for ? Sasaki & the life the Qs once had at the Chateau. But what's the point if getting Sasaki means killing the very family you want back at the Chateau ? Then if Kaneki came to & decided not to be with them, they'd have killed him too like they did with the Uta Clone.

What does even Furuta fight for ? Supposedly, to get Rize to be with him. But what's the point if you create a new Rize that will either be completely submissive and mindless slave made to kill (aka totally not capable of loving you Fruit & nothing like Garden Rize), or if she kills you on the spot ? (Not to mention how he tortured & used her old body as revenge, of course she wouldn't be okay with that) He'd rather be killed knowing he's set in motion everyone else's destruction, than to live peacefully & start a new life by himself. Otherwise, after he eliminated all the Washuu, he'd have left the CCG & done just that. V, which he was once a part of, would be free to do as they wish, & sure, the CCG may stand & continue slaying ghouls, but no one there would hunt him down, nor would he fear being killed by a ghoul, since he's more than capable of protecting himself. However, he realizes he can't truly have the one thing he's wanted from the start. Rize. So again, he feels like his life is meaningless.

Tokyo Ghoul explores the theme of love through many characters. Haise has questioned his ability to love if he's never received love. Since Haise=Kaneki=Furuta, the same should stand. He doesn't know how to love, he hasn't received it from birth, & so he's content with dying & doing so unloved like he's been his entire life.

Now, to connect it to the current events of TG:

Either he underestimated everyone's will to live while losing, or he's got something bigger planned to wipe them out for sure. I think it's all contingent on what Rize does, which is the reason this series started in the first place. It was because of Rize's actions that Kaneki specifically became a ghoul, her disregard for Furuta left him hell-bent on causing the closest thing to the apocalypse that Tokyo's ever seen, & her longing for freedom that ultimately & ironically led to her capture & containment for almost the entirety of both Part 1 & :re.

I believe, like the other proposed zombies, Rize will need to face Kaneki, but this time, she's the one who needs to learn. She needs to learn that to live fleeing the organization out to get you is not her destiny. Working with everyone to take down V will be in her best interest, so she can truly live freely. That the instant gratification of indulging yourself was an unhealthy way to deal with the trauma of being locked away her whole life up until that point. That the men she would make victims of for objectifying her like her own Father deserve to die is wrong.

Hopefully she will understand, & care about the pain she's caused. Since Kaneki doesn't harbour any ill will against her, he will be the one to get through to her that she can regain her agency, that she can be loved, & that she can be something more than a miracle killing machine, or objectified sex slave.
