With a society built like that, its hard to feel that way about yourself, and also experience the thrill of the hunt. I thought someone had an artificial copy of his mind in a program stored somewhere and they were going to rebuild him Or maybe a plot twist occurs, where he has mulitple android copies of himself, and the one that Kogami destroyed was just one of many copies of himself. |
| nice twist with ginoza and masaoka, father and son i never really had that idea cross my mind, even with all the subtle hinting from previous episodes (although i was probably paying more attention to the main plot and action xD) what's up with the old lady at the end? kinda creepy... something tells me she's probably related to makishima, "shougo-kun", similar hair color this show gets more interesting every week i still hope they finish yayoi's backstory from last week. that plotline was pretty good |

| So the old man was Gin's father. That was a pretty interesting development. It screams out: father giving up his life to protect/save his son in the final battle to me. I suspect Shogo to be part of some experimental and/or development team for the Sibyl system and has some secret the higher ups don't want coming to light. Also Akane might have the same 'condition' as Shogo, in that her PP can never get clouded. Will that mean she will have to be made to disappear? Either way, with Gen at the helm of this anime, I'm not expecting a satisfactory ending that I will like and rate high, but as it stands right now, this anime has gotten really good and I'm really enjoying it. The wait is on for episode 14 now. Episode Naxcore: 5 out of 5 |

He felt like a Disc One Final Boss to me. The end of the first cour was the natural point to end his story and refocus on Makishima. |

The wait is on for episode 14 now. Episode Naxcore: 5 out of 5 You know how they were talking about how the sibyl computer was still developing, as it only brings the greatest amount of happiness to the greatest amount of people? Well, i was thinking that maybe Makashima is actually one of those people associated with sibyl, and is testing the system to see if it is actually efficient in the job that it is supposed to do, bring happiness/well-being to the majority of the people. If they catch him alive , then he disappears like the other d00d, and improvements will be made to the system, which will be applied from the feedback regarding the case, etc. Its a never ending process, and constantly getting better, so theres always room for improvement, and theres the fact that there will never be a utopia. Makashima's bio: It could be that years back, they found out about people having the crime coefficient immunity condition and this brought the sibyl employees concern. So they decided to find one of these kinds of people, and they found makashima, who was a baby back then. He probably spent most of his whole life in a sibyl facility. |

The bio you came up with is exactly along the lines I was thinking. He was probably a test subject along with the other dude in some secret experiment for the sibyl system. My guess is that the sibyl is basically rigged or geared towards keeping certain people down and others in power and basically has the world in a somewhat master and slave dance. This would explain why Shogo is trying to find out what he really is, since according to what he grew up believing was that one such as him, cannot exist. |

| Great episode. It was quite surprising he was his dad and i think that woman is related to makishima, she sits in the chair before with her eyes shaking and that is usually used to show fear or shock. Can't wait for it to really get deep into the hunt for makishima, perhaps they will go old school and shotgun his head in ^_^ Theory about him being a tester is a good idea :) Woman is suspicious, she is clearly bad in some way xD can't get enough of this show. It keeps me excited throughout even without action, that episode was all talking but i loved it and was intently reading/listening the whole time. A well written show ine very aspect. When the real meat of the show does hit with hunting/fighting makishima it is going to be so exciting and amazing i think :) only a couple months to go now :P |

Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Best episode in quite some time. Definitely shat on that last episode. lmao. |

Why is that important to the story, though? Senguji's house (apparently) being above the execution ground is enough to make an investigation if you ask me. I was totally calling episode 12 would take part of it there. I mean, Oryo's head in the execution ground, Oryo's (and probably more) bones in Senguji's house and a ton of more stuff I would laugh if we see Makishima there when they obviously lured Kogami to the same place where Oryo's was killed edit: guys, what does 'kun' mean? |

| Just from the previous interactions when bringing up Kougami and how he became an enforcer, I picked up those slight hints on the Father-son relationship between Ginoza and Masaoka. So I wasn't too suprised about that reveal, I basically sensed that there would be dialogue between the two characters later in the episode when Ginoza was getting his Psycho-pass checked. As said earlier, I also reckon there is some history between Makishima and that woman at the end. Also, was that the Heart of Darkness that Kougami was reading? How fitting. It correlates with the fact that the they are going to have to abandon "civilized" life, one ruled by the Sibyl system, and delve into the Heart of Darkness, the "savage" lifestyle in order to capture Makishima. |
| I didn't figure out that Masaoka and Ginoza were father and son because I wasn't looking for it. And people shouldn't call others idiots just because they didn't figure it out sooner Anyway great episode! I'm liking Akane more and more after this episode. And creepy old woman is creepy. |
 |
| I wonder if the old creepy lady is related to makishima, they look alike and she called him *shogo-kun* Masaoka being ginoza's father wasn't surprising to me. |

| Akane was great this episode,Im so glad she improved and became stronger. Õh so the old man is Ginoza´s dad... I want Kougami to catch Shogo but I wish they blew up the sybil system cause I hate it. |

|
| Well... that Sibila system is a fraud... And that old man is Ginoza's father! =O |
| ... |
| Awesome Akane! Maybe she is also "asymptomatic".... and so the speculations before in the many previous comments that he was Gino's dad was right.. too bad I was not surprised about it now.. hehe. |
| Oh, the big reveal is there! Masaoka's Gino's dad. I think errbody saw that one coming. Akane's great. Just saying. The way she bounced back so quickly was almost out of character, but I guess she's proven herself to be pretty decent at adapting. I wish they showed her right after the incident instead of like a two-week skip. Old lady after the credits... She knows Shogo personally? She either knows him from a past incident (and has an axe to grind with him) or they might've even collaborated before... Hmm........ HMMMM... parfaited said: Danielcook said: Akane's a pretty strong lady. I wonder if the only way her crime coefficient turns red is when she has hot, rough, sexual intercourse with Kogami. Lol. ooh lawd! Thank you for typing out what i've always been thinking. I ship them. Hehehhehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehehe I ship 'em too heheheheheheheheheheh |
| Not a bad episode, although not much action this time around. Akane's memories brought back some harsh memories, I like the screenplay (right word?) during that scene, it was well done. The ending was also a twist, and I figured just as much. 4/5. |
 |
| The moment i saw the old lady some episodes (?) ago i was like ''I wonder if she have something to do with Shogo'' and here we go.Maybe shes his mother? well anyway, we will see. Akane! you strong gurl! im starting to like you more and more :D So Masaoka is Gino's father? well i did not see that coming.I thought he have something to do with his father but not be him himself.Nice. Urobucher, just don't kill everyone please >_> 5/5 gimme more. |
 |
| So many people called Masaoka being Gino's father. Urobutcher gonna kill everyone. |
 |
| Dude gets recommended to talk to his father. PLOT TWIST: His father was one of the enforcers all along. :OOOOOOO Awesome. |

| Dammit I swear that ep flew by me...>_<! Why's gotta be so damn good, lol. No but seriously that was a very awesome ep. I can't say I'm too surprised to realize Gino and Masaoka are father/son, I was starting to really catch that vibe over the past few eps--especially ep 10 when he jacked his ass up by the collar after Gino was really making Akane feel bad. The only thing I thought there was 'damn, that look some daddy tough love discipline right there....', lol. Still it's not to see a different angle on their relationship. It would at least seem no matter how much he might have been angry at him turning into latent criminal--it does seem to be part of him that does still respect his insight and advice (dare I even say LOVE....aww, lol). I definitely gotta give big props to my girl Akane!! That took a helluva lot of strength do what she did w/ that memory scoop. I think this the first true time we see that Gino is genuinely impressed and respected her tenacity to do something that risky. And need I even mention about Akane & Kogami's hospital moment? I think it's so sweet how she always stops by to see him when he ends up in the hospital (which seems to be rather often.....livin' dangerously much, Ko-chan? lol). It seems to me like Kogami seems to really let her a little bit into his space/world the more they're around each other. Like Akane mentioned it's nice to know now that people know Kogami wasn't crazy and that he was on to something in discovering Shogo is a REAL bad guy and mastermind behind all this. DAMN this ep ended too soon!! :P |
 |
| A lot of amusing posts in this thread lol. You guys are awesome Nothing relating to the father/son thing, in case people take offense to what I'm typing next o3o I was hoping Masaoka wouldn't be Gino's dad since it was painfully obvious for a while now, but oh well. Still a great episode. I love dem cliffhangers. |
 |
| Eh, didn't expect Masaoka to be Ginoza's dad but it make sense then why he treat him rather harsher than the others Enforcers. I'm sure Makishima realized that his face will be known when he show himself to a detective so he must be planning something wicked. |
 |
| This show just gets better and better! Akane, you fucking boss. Shih said: It feels like that Akane is one of the 2 million people who's psycho-pass don't go up, same as Makishima. Yeah... Hopefully Makishima won't find that out and change her whole view point on Sibly system... Hmmmm... Or maybe it'll make the show better? Akane as final boss? As a former detective, she might be a lot more dangerous is she is to stray ^_^ Imagine her smiling as she kills people, while explaining that it's for the good of human race... Somehow, I got a terrible feeling that this might actually happen... Or is it a great feeling? |

GoldenBRS said: That's cool. I just didn't want to risk someone thinking I was being a bitch and laughing at those who didn't figure it out. It can be hard to predict how people will respond! :PMe too. So many things has happend that, i just lost track. |

| Holy crap that part at the end. God, I'm starting to think that they have some grudge too. Loving it. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| Wow great episode...felt this should've been the episode last week. Made last week felt...out of place. My opinion of Akane went back up in a positive note. That was one hell of a move on her part. What a strong will and my favorite scene in this episode. |
| Akane is gangsta. That iron will! Impressive. |
  |
| Akane was brave to do the memory scan, I thought she would get depressed but she was strong. That chief lady at the end, that was creepy. |
| She's his granny/mom. I call it (this time I'm right!). I feel it, she's shady and sketchy. Fallenkingzero said: The whole thing about the last guy whose crime coefficient didn't increase was interesting. I wonder if they will get some old school weapons that would be pretty cool. Dunno bro. Those high tech guns double as mini nukes. Not only are they a 1 hit kill, their shots also explode on impact if you charge them. They also look badass too of course. |
