| Nice move Maki; he held the bomb until its detonation cord thing had expended some of its lifespan, forcing the old man to die, or seriously injure himself in the process of attempting to save his friend (one wonders if Makishima knows they are related). I'm somewhat saddened that the enforcers seem to have lost their edge in favor of Akane's character getting a boost to her reading skills. I believe that upon arriving in the empty control room, for example, Yayuri (hoho...) should have realistically, relatively to what had beforehand established about enforcers' snouts, been the one to come to the conclusion that: in order for Maki to continue unimpeded in his plan, he'd have to get rid of the dogs tailing him. Good restatement that there be indeed differences 'twixt enforcers and inspectors when Gino triggered the mine, though that could have stemmed from experience, or lack thereof. And now, another fistfight, fan service, really. |
| I had told myself not to read other posts for fear of stumbling upon the produces, nay, refuses, of imbeciles' brains. But curiosity would have its way, and here I am, in pain and disappointed, yet laughing, between meekly and madly, that there be within this world such disgraces of human beings. "Masaoka should've thrown the bomb to Makishima." "Well, in my defense, lol, I admit it took me a couple of eps to really believe he [Kagari] was gone. I don't think it was until it really hit me in ep 20 and them--the Sybil system--admitting what they did, more or less, and the flashbacking that did it for me. " HAHAHAHAHA ENOUGH! Oh my, I cannot bear this. ahhhhhhhhhhhh And more, and more of course, not that I read everything, pfeh. But to pay them any more attention than I have would be a slight to my mind, and a blessing they deserve not (not that they would know it to be one, anyway, ha) Oh, cursed spite! That ever such were born to set things wrong! *Mhmmm, perhaps I should have used the automatic quoting button thingy. If anything, to potentially send this...dagger home, were the involved parties to so receive notifications. Oh well, next time, then. Realization: the suffering would surely be accompanied by my making entertainment out of it, so don't shy away, pretty, if ever so slightly. |

| Wow! Nice build-up to the last episode. So...it's down to a knife fight between Kogami and Makishima. That should be exciting. Akane...GO! You can save Kogami. POPS...NOOOOOO!! I teared up a little. |
  |
| When they split up into groups and Ginoza and Masaoka had that short argument I kinda thought he might die... but it still got me :c Kogami's face when he saw what happened and Ginoza totally losing it when he usually tries to look quite measured, ouch. Cringed at Ginoza's mangled arm too. The BGM in this series is so good. |
 |
| I cried my heart out when Pops died. I just can't wait to get this over with. I'm getting desperate. |
| So intense, i hope the conclusion will be good. It was a sad scene with Masaoka and Ginoza. Excellent Episode. |
| I thought he would've thrown the explosive at Makishima... Cant believe Masaoka died...!! Gino looked really sad, that usual calm facade is really gone. We are left with the last episode, how can it all end in one more episode?? I hope they won't rush the whole thing, whatever happens next... |
 |
| The intensity keeps ramping up, but damn, RIP Masaoka :( Liked him from the start |
| Okay, so Kasei's talk before about Ginoza not fullfiling his duty was to keep up the facade. It was a bit much given how even in the official capacity as chief she stalled them at every turn, but okay. But now that she's explained everything to Akane, why continue when they are talking privately? Heck, she overrid Ginoza's Dominator in front of the whole team, and Akane was the one who defused the situation. Why keep up the talk about how the Dominators decide solely based on crime coefficent and such? Too bad Akane didn't call the Sybil system out on it. I think it weird that the Dominator is locked normally anyways. Assuming the Sybil system does work as advertised, there is no way somebody would use it to shoot at someone who doesn't deserve it. As even the MWPSB simply kills people when they can, even one gangster taking out his rival wouldn't change anything compared to how things work right now. Heck, automated Dominator gun emplacements and/or having Drones do it would actually be far more efficient. People being beaten to death or shot or stabbed etc. is seen as entertainment anyways, and you could simply project a holographic image to cover it, so no issue on this front either. The fact that the normally only get access to Dominators once on the crime scene, and that itrequires both a user identification and a certain Psycho-Pass rating of the target is one of the biggest signs that whoever designed the system didn't think it perfect. Should have given people something to think. Of course, they grew up thinking the system is perfect, the moment they first encounter weird things like this, it's already too ingrained to seriously think about it. And if you do, you'll probably get marked as criminal anyways. Also funny how that facility has harder security than the Ministry of Welfares tower. Though i don't get what actually kept Kogami out. The drones? They don't do shit. And why would they power down if you power down the facility? Cameras? Why would Kogami care if he's filmed there, everyone knows he's there, and given that he plans a murder, what difference would being filmed breaking in make? I seriously doubt there are any automated gun emplacements and such.. |
| Ginoza you are shit..... too bad Masaoka-san has to pay for his stupidity. Great episode, it is designed to set for the climax at final episode and im going to watch it NOW!!!! |
 |
| Makishima is one smart villain, he calculated the dynamite to a point that it couldn't be thrown back at him and as a result Masaoka blew up. It was kinda Gino's fault for triggering that box trap that led to this point. I feel his emotions will make him an Enforcer now. Makishima I kinda hate you now for killing Pops. |
| Damn it Masoka died, the fight was short tbh but the background music pumped the fight, after he died then he call him father wtf you should have at least call dad once again. |
| Goddammit I knew Masaoka had a death flag but still... At least he topped Makishima before he died, that bastard is really annoying. If Gino wasn't involved Makishima was gonna lose. |
 |
| RIP Masaoka-san D; I knew he would defend that stupid Ginoza -.- but still Q__Q Masaoka >>> Maki |
| Noooo Masaoka T_T Great episode. And boyyy I'm so down for this fight it will be so exciting! Makishima and Kougami have a very dynamic relationship. |
| Sick bastard probably calculated the time he'd need to get the dynamite but not enough to throw it. Masaoka-san T_T I'm looking forward to Makishima's death. Never really liked his mindset anyways. |
 |
| Cannot deny, tears were shed for the poor old detective. :( Gino is well on his way to losing it, as we've seen from previous episodes with his psychopass deteriorating, can't see what could tip him over the scale better than his pops' death. A mechanical arm for him would be a nice touch. Also, poignant words from Makishima about solitude in today's society. Don't you think it's already become a little bit like this? We mainly use texts or messengers, we don't socialize like our grandparents used to. It's not uncommon to see a party dominated by smartphone zombies, not talking to anyone but their phones, and on the public transport it's the same: people looking into their phones, rarely out the windows. |

| Is Gino's crime coefficient going to rise? I wasnt even over Kagari and now we have another one. Wow. |
| Sorry for my English. |
| I can't imagine how hard it'd be to think about what both Shinya and Shogo will do next especially in a very tight time constriction like how Akane is doing it. At least it will be a little bit easier for her to handle herself and keep Shinya alive thanks to Sybil letting her bypass the system in her Dominator. Ginoza fell into a trap and was used as a sacrifice by Makishima to get Masaoka off his back and he was successful in that regard. It was so sad seeing the lovable old man die so suddenly in his son's arms who finally showed how he truly regarded him as a father in his last moments. His rising Crime Coefficient must be rising through the roofs just because of this ordeal and he'll very well end up as an Enforcer like his old man if he ever survives the future. Tears were shed for you both. They're gonna have their final battle and it's gonna be a knife fight! Whatever will happen next lies on Akane's hands. |
 |
| Well this episode was pretty much the best one so far. The pacing was tight, the soundtrack matched the scenes perfectly, the emotional resonance was good and all the main characters arcs moved forward. Man...them feels though at THAT part. Even though I'm watching this well after the air-date and the discussion is more or less dead I had to comment here to say how good of an episode it was. |
   |
| Damn what an episode! I felt so bad for Masaoka and Gino. Did they establish earlier on that they were father and son? That came as a complete surprise to me so if they did I either missed it or forgot. |
 |
| Not Masaoka, tho ;_; And I thought the Yuki scene from last episode was sad... |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

|
I really teared up at this moment, such a sad scene ;-; |
 |
| Indeed, Masaoka's death was sad. Oh, I think that Gino's crime coefficient is going to rise. |

| Damn....Ginoza lost his dad. I really liked Masaoka. He was wonderful. Fatherly, wise and level-headed and I loved the conflict between him and his son. I had always hoped that it would be resolved but not like this. Saving his son like this. Damn that hurt. Excellent episode but it hurt |
| OMG two of the members are dead..... last episode to go |
 |
| Masaoka is better than Kogami at fighting. Ginoza still got a long way to go. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Wow that was intense! Just one more Ep, I love this show but I hear Season 2 is a stinker. |
| I’m so sad I’m so sad I’m so sad T.T this was brutal. Ginoza’s face!!!! Ugh I’m a wreck |
 |
| Having Ginoza walk without looking at the ground after seeing a laserwire trap is the most out of character shit I've seen for the sake of forwarding the plot. Great episode asides from that BS plot device. |

| So Ginoza was Masaoka's son, and Masaoka died :( |
 |
| Masaoka was undoubtly one of the most empathetic characters, so its sad seeing him getting the short end of the stick... I must confess, I teared up a little there. Great episode, this season is leading up to an incredible finale. |
 |
| My heart sank during Masaoka & Ginoza’s scenes. RIP Masaoka (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) Ginoza calling out for his dad...... that was so sad to watch. His painful screams about how it’s too late were almost reflective of how it’s too late to say anything else now, his dad is gone. I wonder what’s the development of Ginoza after this. Hope he’s in the 2nd season, he would make a compelling character. Ugh. How do you root for Makishima after this. That was just too cruel. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| This is late, but I love the opening and ending songs <3 They fit the anime so well. |
| what an episode. masaoke :( gotta hand akane how she's grabbing sybil in their balls, literally lol. |
| Tupac would still be alive if Kougami was the shooter |

| I still can't get over the fact, that the bookworm Makishima is a better hand-to-hand fighter than all the enforcers. It's so dumb. |
| Man, that's upsetting. Masaoka was a really respectable guy. Ginoza really shouldn't have been caught by a basic wire trap like that, especially in an environment like where the likelihood of traps being placed around is so high. His only job in such a situation is to be alert and perceptive, so how do you fall for that? Gator said: He isn't a better hand-to-hand fighter than Masaoka, if this episode is anything to go by. He was in trouble until he forced a sacrifice through the dynamite throw. I still can't get over the fact, that the bookworm Makishima is a better hand-to-hand fighter than all the enforcers. It's so dumb. |
