| It was fairly obvious how it would play out once Makishima took Yuki with him, despite that it was still incredibly intense. Makishima is truly the natural enemy of the sybil system and the way his coefficient rate kept decreasing gave me chills. Regarding Akanes behaviour, I commended her for showing some backbone two episodes ago. That said, the situation at hand will probably force her to eat these words. I understand that she was quite in the tight spot there and that it must've been extremely stressful, but damn, her attempt was pathetic. As things stand right now, she isn't cut for the job. The system is flawed in more than one way and particularly this episode displayed it in a spectacular manner. Great way to end the first cour, looking forward to the second one and the character development. |

| Not a fan of the battle, the cyborg dude was very stupid. Kougami was great. Wow, I expected that Yuki was going to survive but in the end.... So Makishima can't be judged by the Sibyl System.... I feel bad for Akane. She saw Yuki die. But if she save her, she's labeled a murderer by the Sibyl System's standards. |

| F-Mega for poor Yuki. I will never get over how brutal and cold this was. Quite rare in anime I might say. |

| I get where Akane was coming from...but till though..why it did not react |
 |
| The fact that Senguji thinks he's hunting an animal leads to his own demise. Either Makishima know the trick behind the Psycho Pass or he hacked it. Either way it's mentioned too that genetic could be the factor, so that could be it. Akane should have checked again if Makishima's CC increased after he slithed her friend's throat. Time to upgrade the Sybil System. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| WTF 0 and that system is flawed af |
 |
| That was a really interesting episode I get the feeling that sibyl can only judge you if you know/feel that what you're doing is wrong. Essentially, they can't judge psychopaths who feel no remorse or guilt over their actions; who truly know/believe that they're doing society a good deed. |
 |
| makishima truly is a smart bastard. no matter what akane did, her crime coefficient would go up, be it killing makishima with the shotgun, missing him and killing her friend by accident, or not doing anything and watching her friend die. he's toying with her to break her down mentally, all for the sake of rising her crime coefficient. everything he's doing is to prove that the sybil system is unreliable Yumekichi11 said: This is truly DISGUSTING AND SHIT! Seeing anyone having his throat cut in front of you with a spray of blood and falling down is never cool. I saw loads of videos like that IRL, most suffering way to die among the many out there. All the time last minute gasps for life/air. It’s plain sick to see this and as a result ends up as the following i really wanna know what your job irl is that'd let you see so many videos like this |
| I can understand why people hates on Akane, Makashima told Akane to hold the shotgun with two hands, but the fear and inexperience overcame her, she still had too much trust in the Sybil system and that was her downfall, even tho I didn't wanted Makashma to kill her friend, now Akane will grow for sure. I still don't think is okay to just let anyone enter as inspector just because she was the best in class without field experience first in lower cases. It can seem like she valued the Sybil judgement more than her friend, besides being scared and anxious, so I can understand her hesitation, but also the hate against her. She will sure grow now, I hope, and slowly become more dependable, so this doesn't happen again. |
| Makishima's character was awesome in this episode. He was able to show Akane that the Sybil system is flawed, and it cannot be used as a measure of good and evil. Also, the Dominators are really slow. It takes time for authentication, mode specification, and even firing sequence. A real gun takes less than two seconds, and yet Kougami almost died because it takes too long. |

| Kind of frustrating that Akane can't shoot Makishima. It's almost like she didn't care for her friend. Sure his Psycho-pass showed pure white, but when seeing his actions firsthand it makes her judgement seem like a joke. Are you gonna trust your robot gun or your own eyes? |
 |
| That was so disgusting I didn't want her to die like that, and that system cracked so weirdly it's like he planned everything from the beginning. |

| It was an incredible episode, fitting at that, since it’s the last to feature the first OP. We got to see more of Makishima, and seiyu Sakurai Takahiro doesn’t disappoint. The part where the dominator kept saying the trigger would be locked, and Makishima’s psycho pass number decreasing was insane. |
 |
| That was intense! Such an awesome episode!! Makishima will be too tough for an enemy if they will not go beyond Sybil System’s judgement. I wonder how will they defeat him. I was really amazed at how low his Crime Coefficient is, and even getting it lower while slowly killing that girl. Killing definitely doesn’t bother him at all. He even enjoy murders as if it’s a game. As for Akane’s action, can she really shoot him with the shot gun without being judged after doing so? I think they can only use Dominator or any other weapon with Sybil System in hunting down criminals, remember their world even their judgement and choices revolves around the System. Also, I think the reason that she was so afraid in doing anything is because of the judgement on Makishima, which was judged by the Dominator as not a threat at all and if he shoots him it will be a misjudgement on her part, and at the same time was afraid that her Crime Coefficient will rise. She was confused as someone who trust the System and has lived with it. |

| This Shougo guy is a mutant, holy shit this ep is intense, that poor girl got killed, it can't be helped. |
| Anime is fun. |
| I'm pissed at the MC for being incompetent. I guess this episode was trying to showcase that the system is flawed and if you're too reliant on technology to dictate your actions there are times when it will backfire because no system is perfect. I don't think she deserves to be a detective after this if she can't make decisions based on her own will. Also where was her backup? They were talking for ages. |
| Looks like Makishima is a troublesome enemy, his Psycho Pass is under 70, against him he must use a gun, not a dominator |
 |
| Best episode so far. The sci fi elements were very well done, in a powerful scene where the basis of this society are questioned by a villain who seemingly cant be judged. The series isnt perfect, and most certainly is not GitS (one of my favorite anime series), but Im greatly enjoying this sci-fi/serial killer hybrid, where the focus is how criminal minds work and think. Good stuff. |
 |
| I remember being so impressed with death note during the most of the first half, before being utterly disappointed when the the rest of it became so meh. Right now you could say I’m pretty much floored with this show, it’s riveting and I love it. I’m still crossing my fingers though and hoping the rest can be just as strong |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| ayo what the FUCK BRO |
| I'm sorry but as an IT student im just triggered by the dominator and the whole system in general SJDJSJ we've always been thought to look for any possible error that might occur in the program we've made and prepare a solution for it,, the ones who made the system should've taken into account in case a situation like this one happens and should prepare a backup program for it, like a program to be able to use the dominator's functions without relying on the Sybil,,, but I guess that's the point of this show lol (which is how they are too reliant with the technology) |
| What an amazing episode!!!!! Poor Yuki that was so hard to watch Really frustrating to watch Akane but I guess it’s easy to assume you would have reacted otherwise in that situation. Her entire view of the system, and the world, & her morals were being challenged. But then again, that’s rough having to watch her friend die infront of her very own eyes. Can’t help but feel she could have done more. Best episode yet!!!! Makishima sure is an interesting character |
 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 |
| Glad Senguji died. What caused Makishima to not be shot? Maybe he never gets stressed? |
| The "Psycho-Pass" proof guy was the great surprise. The system cant judge him, and me neither, because the real villain of this show is this absurd Sybil Sistem, tooking the free-will and the pure humam emotions of the people. And i can't blame Akane too, because to save her friend she must be prepared to have the willing to kill, what all her life she was prevented by the Sybil system. Pay attention you guys that use the terminator gun is utterly different. 1. Using a common guy, you kill because YOU decided that, so your "psycho pass" become dirt and *poof*, now you are a criminal by nature. 2. Using the terminator, the GUN judges and decides to kill the target, not you, so you can sleep well at night because it was not your fault, you are not a "psycho". Man i LOVE the moral philosophy and ethic questions that are the background of this show! Why people dont discuss about it? This anine can be used as case of study, just as like good episodes of Black Mirror. Sulfur2 said: Glad Senguji died. What caused Makishima to not be shot? Maybe he never gets stressed? Maybe because he don't feel that he is even killing. What is different from a typical psycho that kill but dont feel it is wrong, but know that is killing someone, most of time having pleasure with that. The ex-inspector loses his clean psycho-pass when he decided to take revenge (willing to kill). Machi-san certainly, to himself, dont have this will, because he is so crazy that he sees this as something completelly abstrat. |

| I don’t know what you all are talking about. I’m just annoyed that she didn’t even try to do anything. She just kept rechecking that darn dominator. Rip. |
| Tragic episode. 常守 couldn't process that the Sibyl system would not show her the true crime coefficient of 槙島. That's why she kept scanning him. Even I the viewer wasn't expecting that, I mean he was obviously going to kill her...why wouldn't it pick it up? Another poster said he may have admin/high level access to the system... that's a good theory. In any case I am looking forward to seeing just what is up with this guy. How he is able to change his crime coefficient and what his ultimate fate is. |

| the last couple of min in this episode didn't made me judge akane less. she wasn't afraid of her psycho pass or anything, i don't believe that's the issue from the look on her face she was totally ready to kill makishima. i also don't believe she believe in the system too much now, it's more like her helplessness in this situation that she doesn't know who to trust anymore and the fact that she doesn't know how to use much the rifle. the way i see it makishima could kill twice yuki while akane is rearranging in position to get the right position and aim at him, she couldn't just risk the bullet to kill her friend too. and such. (and i know from experience with rifles that unless you are aiming accurately it can be lethal to other people. and that rifle wasn't normal but hunting one, it's aim is much larger than army one) at any rate, great episode. though i'm already knows what's gonna happen now. (akane crying and stuff...) |
| lmao that boy aint stressed about nothing he just vibing. i need whatever shit he’s on |
