Well, it’s understandable.

This is a very decisive moment for Yomo.

He is fighting against the person who killed his sister. He finally has an opportunity for revenge but… the children of his sister are also there with him so that makes him responsible for their lives, too.

In this situation, Yomo has only one option: win! If he screws up, he’ll not only lose the chance to avenge his sister but there’s also the possibility that Touka and Ayato’s might lose their lives. Yomo can’t screw up here. He has to do his best.

But at the same time, all the odds are against him. Arima is “The Undefeated Ghoul Investigator”, he’s a “God of Death“. No one can win against him.

Furuta, on the other hand, is a character that is known for being a trickster. So that raises a few questions. Did he lose on purpose? And if he did, what is he scheming?

I think Furuta did pretend to lose, but wasn’t expecting Hinami to get involved. If he really wanted to kill Kaneki, he would have been a bit more serious and would have attacked/killed Hinami first.

He know’s Kaneki’s strength, fighting style, and mental issues. If he killed Hinami, Furuta would have set Kaneki off, where his possible rage might cause him to lose focus/composer and give Furuta even more of an advantage. When Hinami attacked him, he immediately stopped trying to fight and “played” dead. His target was Kaneki. Possibly to weaken him or tire him out to some extent to were he might have to use his Kakuja against Arima. The reasons for this is vague though. Maybe his Kakuja state make it easier for V to re-capture Kaneki, or Arima has something up his sleeve that requires Kaneki to be exhausted in some way. Either way Furuta confronting Kaneki and not even going after Hinami (someone he can’t predict as easily), is odd. Even if he was just putting on a show for the CCTV cameras.

The last panel of Furuta’s hand twitching is an indicator he is still alive, and if he’s not human then he’s going to recover. Kind of how Yamamori was starting to recover after his fight with Kaneki, but it was Juuzou that finished him off. Both times Kaneki assumed his opponent had died. Except this time, Furuta is more like they going to be discovered by an ally than an “angel” that will turn him into a quinque/meal.
