| Akane went from fresh out of the water to full badass XD |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| The speech with the Sibyl System wasn't necessary imo. Good Episode. |
| Surprised that Sybil chose to reveal its secret to Akane, are they willing to go that far just to get Makishima. If every brain in there is as "criminally asymptomatic" as Makishima, does that mean all of them have violent/criminal tendencies? And if so, I don't get how a collective of such brains would be wholesome, although keeping some brains that are idiosyncratic is valuable in that it keeps in check the unordinary factors/values. It said it didnt value the division between what is good/evil but how is collecting all brains that are all similar (all being "criminally asymptomatic") being wholesome? This is what I dont get. Unless I'm missing something here... And finally we're seeing some character development on Akane. Seems that she's becoming like Kogami lol in the way she thinks of him, as Kogami thinks of Makishima. And Makishima, I like his argument against the Sybil system but the way he does things...I cant agree with it. It seems that to him the end justifies the means huh.. |
 |
| I love how they put the ending song, it sets the atmosphere just right for the final showdown against Makishima |
 |
| Akane's character development boosted a lot this episode. |
| Akane Akane Akane... Badass. Loved how she completely owned the Sibyl system. She better save Kougami. |

Eudaimonia said: On the other side there is the true form of the Sibyl System, ... something that rubs Akane and with no doubt the majority of the audience the wrong way to say the least. I does not rub me the wrong way at all. What is justice? Must all criminals be punished by imprisonment, inaction, or death? As part of the Sibyl System, they are doing a HUGE amount of community service work, and they have lost their physical bodies. That could be considered their just punishment. I'm having a strong disconnect between Akane and the other characters. They are horrified by the "true form" of the Sibyl System, but I can only think "so what?" Yes, many (most?) of the brains are those of terrible criminals. The System should be judged by its product and not its composition, however. What has the Sibyl System done to warrant so much horror? Killing Kagari? Akane's own reaction to the true form of the System provides practical justification for that action. On the other hand, the System has been caring for and supporting a whole civilization for years. I think dismissal of the Sibyl System based on its "true form" is a narrow-minded approach. |

| Hm. So Akane and sync her thoughts with Kou's now. I'll give her some credit for that. Her growth took awhile though :| She's naive if she thinks Sibyl is gonna let Kou live. Bitch better protect him on her own >.> |
shinezu said: Anyone else thinks Sibyl system won't live up to its end of the bargain? Yuuup. One thing that bothers me is that we already know that the brains comprising sibyl still have some sort of identity left. If you take a mass murderer and psychopath and connect him to a network that has the primary goal of maintaining ORDER and JUSTICE, how does he (the murderer) not retain his desire to upset that order and justice? I mean, isn't it counter-intuitive to say the absolute least, to make up a judiciary system of people that completely don't agree with common ethics and morals? How do you make sure that the brain only works towards benefitting the society and not towards his own goals or desires? Is it like, MOST of the brains have been 'good', moral people and they keep the psychos in check? We only know two people that were or would have been part of sybil as asymptomatic beings, and they're both murderers, but that might not be the general rule, maybe as much as 150 or 200 of those brains belonged to people that were asymptomatic yet with high moral standards. Heck, maybe even Akane is one of those... |

| Yes. Show kagari again and break my heart. (ಥ_ಥ) |
| Sorry for my English. |
| Finding out that the very foundation of your society turned out to be a congregation of the most despicable minds imaginable would certainly be a shock especially when after all this time, they were doing a somewhat good job upholding the peace. The riots being caused by a lack of governance by the system really didn't help Akane in finding reasons to resist Sibyl as a whole too. At least she found a way to gain enough leverage to negotiate for her friend's safety, finally saving someone else if they even bother keeping that promise. But I think even if Makishima was turned into a brain, he'd prove to be overwhelming to the order of the machine and either cause Sibyl to go rogue or destroy it altogether. Akane really was a bad-ass thinking like Kogami when conducting the investigation and she was only there for a few minutes. The whole dilemma earlier made her more determined to save Shinya after all. |
 |
| Akane became straight badass, but it's all to save Ko-chan. The build up for the finale has been so exciting and my expectations are accordingly high. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh nice, we know more about the Sibyl system logic. Akane developed. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| damn it's one reveal after the other..... this is so bad ass |
 |
| Lol, Makishima got no time to waste, just have a little chat with the old man and decide to kill him. Akane thought the reason that Kogami didn't hide the corpse was so that the MWPSB can help them. While that could be true. The other reason could be he don't have time to waste. It's plot convenient how she came to this conclusion so fast. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Something that I am wondering upon rewatching is why is this facility under such weak security? All of Japan supposedly relies on this food source and yet they never updated the old security? That seems strange to me. Unless they never bothered to because no people live in that area? Idk I am also realizing that I don’t think the Sibyl System is that bad, lol. If it really does eliminate most other problems aside from “free will” then I think it’s an improvement (to my experience in America at least). IMO no one quite has free will in our world anyway, you are kind of stuck into the race, gender, and socioeconomic class you were born into and have to navigate your life that way. The world of PP just replaced it with a crime coefficient. And, in America we are all governed by the top 1% of wealth. These people are all billionaires, and no billionaire is ethical imo. I suppose it’s different than being a serial killer like Makishima, but still it’s not saints that rule over us. So maybe I am just cynical, but the Sibyl System doesn’t seem like that bad a trade off. No one seems like they’re homeless, or living in poverty, and mental health is a top priority. Like that seems like a pretty good deal lmao. I can only speak for America though, which is really in a dark place rn lol |

| Tsunemori is like Kougami in solving problems |
 |
| kinda love how the story progressing, it's reminding me more monster now lol. about akane, i'm actually thinking she's more about using the sybil system now because she knows it's will rather than believing in it. and though she's in favour of it, it's only because she knows people would not able to live normally again. but i'm pretty sure she's gonna do some kind of inside rebellion to change the system in the future of this series. |
| I always thought that the gun can't check his Psycho-Pass correctly because of his psychopathy. The system is basically built around anxiety, which is why Akane keeps a low Psycho-Pass after witnessing traumatic events because she can get past them quite easily, and why Makishima's Psycho-Pass is never dangerous, because he simply doesn't care one bit about his victims, and makes others do the killing for him. Almost every other crime is committed with that emotional turbulence and distress one way or another, even if it's just distress getting caught, but psychopaths don't have that when committing crimes. There was a quote a character said quite a few episodes ago as to why Akane's Psycho-Pass is so low, that explains it the most IMO, and psychopaths are pretty void of emotion so that makes sense on that end. |

| It was obvious that Kagari was dead meat from the moment he discovered what Sibyl really was but damn... still sucks to get the confirmation. Why's it always gotta be my favourites who kick the bucket in gritty shows :( |
| Seems like it only took Makishima one day at a dude's place to become an expert in bio-viruses, sure. |
| I'm not sure I trust the sibyl system to maintain their word regarding what Akane requested. Makishima smiling was something I didn’t know I needed. |
 |
| The law today / todays system was created by more than one bad people brain (thinking) For me, if I were in Akane's position ofcourse I would choose to destroy the system even if I knew the consecuence.. Back to old law / system is still better than live a life with full of illusion (like today).. If only this white haired guy never kill our beloved chara friend, things would be diff (atleast on viewers perspective).. |
 |
| oooo the final showdown eh. I sense a kinda three-way battle lol |
If you choose to do only what you know, you'll never experience the joy of being able to do something you couldn't before.  |
