All staff is now also "under the sea"

Thinking about Psycho-Pass again (my all-times favorite anime) and about how Makishima, as genius as he is, fundamentally misunderstands Akane and dismissed her far too early. Akane is perhaps his greatest blind spot.

He mistakes her hesitancy to kill for weakness. For falling in-line with those he views as sheep, willing to give up free-will and ultimately humanity for the ease of letting a greater being (the Sybil system) make those hard decisions for them.

But Akane doesn’t hesitate to kill because she’s weak. She refuses to kill, even when her baser emotions and anger would drive a weaker person to do so, and that’s a big distance. Her refusal to kill is not weakness—it is conviction. From the very first episode we see this. Akane constantly takes free will into her own hands and plays these unfair games by her own rules—by her own morals.

But Makishima is a psychopath and lacks basic empathy. He fundamentally cannot understand a person like Akane and how she views and values human life. He has to rationalize the value of a human life, putting arbitrary metrics he decided are meaningful such as willpower and self actualization (which are not negative things to be fair! These are admirable traits!). But he is incapable of understanding Akane who sees intrinsic value in all human life. Akane does not fit into his worldview.

So he categorizes her and her actions in the only way he knows how—as the actions of sheep and chattel.

It used to bother me a lot how Makishima was so dismissive of Akane while obsessed with Kougami despite both officers being equally willful and strongly convicted people, willing to do whatever it takes, no matter how difficult, to realize their ideals.

But I realize now that this is just how it is. Makishima is so self-aggrandizing and charismatic that it’s easy to, even as an omnipotent audience looking in, fall for his bullshit. But he has blind spots. He’s a genius but he’s also not as knowledgeable and knowing as he believes himself to be and wants the world and audience to believe him to be.

And his relationship (or lack of thereof) with Tsunemori Akane is proof of this.

And it’s this blindness that ultimately makes him lose. And I think the most ironic part of it all is that Akane, whom he viewed to be sheep, was ultimately the first person to ever successfully begin to tear down the Sybil system just as Makishima has always wanted.

If he hadn’t been so blind of incapable of empathy, he and Tsunemori might’ve made for a very powerful team. He might’ve lived to see his plans succeed. But he didn’t.

This extends to the audience too. I think a lot of people get caught up in Makishima and Kougami’s convictions. The audience constantly underestimated and overlooks Akane as well. And that is very very interesting to me from a meta perspective of the story and characters.
