History WMG / PsychoPass

[[WMG: If there's a Season 3, Nobuchika will die.]]

Without one of her colleagues whose experience is so valuable to her team, Akane will find herself in a precarious position indeed.

As well as Urobuchi has Madoka as his exploration of God (Kami/Shinto), Psycho-Pass is his dark exploration of the concept of Buddhism, the two main japanese religions. Akane reached Nirvana previously to the beginning of the narration or reached it subreptitiously during the first series.

If you read the lyrics of the opening and closings, it all says something about hiding what a CompleteMonster thinks. If we give Makishima the DracoInLeatherPants Syndrome and all, then we get an AlternateCharacterInterpretation of him being a [[spoiler: WellIntentionedExtremist]]. Shinya either goes BrainwashedAndCrazy, MoreThanMindControl, or WeCanRuleTogether, or something along those lines and joins [[spoiler:Makishima's plight in making humans live their life like humans.]]

[[spoiler: Kamui is a collective MindHive of several children who died in the Season of Hell, and because Sibyl was only designed to judge individuals, that limitation rendered Kamui a ghost in the system. However, when Kamui accessed the HiveMind of sociopath brains that composed the Sibyl system, he used its own logic of judgement against itself, and in order to defeat Kamui, Sibyl had to adapt to measuring collective Psycho-Passes... only that this also meant that ''Sibyl itself'' became the victim of its own judgement, forced to murder most of itself (e.g. the sociopath brains that supposedly committed far more sadistic crimes than what Makishima did) in order to steer clear from its own Judgement. Perhaps Kamui's antics condemned the Sibyl System into a self-imposed RestrainingBolt forcing it further and further into suppressing its inherent sociopathy and instead becoming a more benevolent entity (e.g. instead of murdering trauma patients for high Crime Coefficients, it may try to "teach them how to live happier"). ]]

[[spoiler:Psycho-Pass 2 demonstrated that the technologies that sibyl were based on, such as brain extraction, and the unification of different brains using technology ala the doctor from GulliversTravels, were patented by the Togane Foundation. And in episode 8, Togane was revealed to be an agent of Sibyl, and his mother is a member of Sibyl itself. It is entirely possible that this mother is the de facto head of Sibyl itself, and Sibyl and its assimilation of sociopaths for processing power may be entirely an experiment in Japan by the Toganes to create the perfect weapon for WorldDomination, and being a MegaCorp, it is also possible that they have relocated their headquarters overseas thus avoiding the totalitarianism that the other Japanese had to deal with.]]

[[WMG: Demotion to Enforcer is/was the fate of ''all'' Inspectors and anyone who works in the Police.]]
Being forced to witness the true face of Crime before yourself causing you to question the idealism of the world, all while holding a gun which basically explodes people into massesof gore... come on, besides the criminally asymptomatic and Akane, who would not be so traumatised and stressed that their Crime Coefficient rises to be deemed an Enforcer?

[[WMG: One of the components of the Sibyl System is [[spoiler:the brain of Dr. Hannibal Lecter]]]]

[[WMG: Inspector Shisui will become a dopperganger of Akane.]]

* He was indeed demoted to Enforcer caste.

** The "nonviolent" part has been jossed, he has no problem with people dying so long as it furthers his plans.

* Probably not, since we now know that the doppelgangers Kamui is using are [[spoiler: aged-up versions of the 185 children who died in the plane crash 15 years ago.]]

** Jossed. Despite experiencing some traumatic events [[spoiler:such as her grandmother's death]], her Psycho-pass is still clear and her crime coefficient doesn't increased much (from what I've remember it's around 36).

[[WMG: The Sibyl System is nothing more than a weapon of the actual BigBad of the series: [[spoiler:the [[MegaCorp Togane Foundation]]]]

* [[spoiler: "Eaten alive" tuns out to be quite literal, by having her brain plucked out of her body and added to Sibyl.]]

He's a hidden-agenda villain with a long game plan to corrupt Akane. Something is definitely up.

[[WMG: The show will end with [[spoiler:the uncannily calm yet altruistic Akane being fatally wounded but offering her non-sociopathic brain to power a more benevolent Sybil System after her death.]]]]

While the UN seems to be incompetent, they ''do'' stand up for the rights of humanity, and from their perspective, the Sibyl system is basically a super-NorthKorea that destroys the innate humanity of humans in order to propagate its own vision of order. Sibyl only survived due to the Hyper-Oats technology that allowed Japan to be agriculturally-self-sufficient, enabling itself to avoid the crises that eventually destroyed OTL North Korea. As Makishima's plan demonstrates, if Japan's self-sufficiency was destroyed, then the people would revolt against Sibyl. However, the agricultural independence that Sibyl achieved made them independent from the relief goods of the UN, and therefore independent from the UN Declaration of Human Rights. That was why the UN allowed criminals such as Makishima and Kamui to hire foreigners, whom Sibyl cannot recognise, to help them destroy the system, because they know that Sibyl cannot recognise foreigners.
* This might tie into the plot of the upcoming movie, which concerns [[spoiler: a team of foreign operatives from the Southeast Asian nation Shamballa infiltrating Japan to destroy Sibyl.]]

[[WMG: Foreigner criminals such as Choe and the people hired by Kammui were able to enter Japan and subvert the Sibyl System because the primary enemy of the System, and the ones who were responsible for injecting criminal foreigners into Japan, is the UnitedNations.]]
While the UN seems to be incompetent, they ''do'' stand up for the rights of humanity, and from their perspective, the Sibyl system is basically a super-NorthKorea that destroys the innate humanity of humans in order to propagate its own vision of order. Sibyl only survived due to encouraging the Hyper-Oats technology that allowed Japan to be agriculturally-self-sufficient, enabling itself to avoid the crises that eventually destroyed OTL North Korea. That was why they allowed criminals such as Makishima and Kamui to hire foreigners, whom Sibyl cannot recognise, to help them destroy the system.

Because Sibyl does not really measure Crime Coefficients. Instead, it measures how a person ''knows'' that the crime he is going to commit is inherently wrong. He knows it is wrong, he ''feels'' it is wrong, and therefore, he has already condemned himself to be guilty of his crime. As Episode One indicates, Crime Coefficients are based more on stress levels, and that is why they are subjected to either therapy or euthanasia. Real psychopaths like Makishima and Touma, who do not recognise such crimes as murder, torture and experimentation as inherently wrong, but just simply a part of real life, are instead preferred by Sibyl for [[spoiler:assimilation]] in order to achieve an absolute point of view.

[[WMG:This future legal system is actually a plot to control human overpopulation.]]

* It seems unlikely that Akane[[spoiler:'s brain]] alone would be able to effect such change, though it's possible that she could form the basis of a brand-new System. Maybe one where [[spoiler:potentially-useful individuals could voluntarily join, gaining a form of immortality]].
* [[spoiler: Jossed. Akane remains alive at the end and continues to work as an Inspector.]]
** There's season 2 in the works, so this is up in the air, if Urobuchi is staying that is.
** She appears in the trailer for the movie which is confirmed to take place after sesason 2, so we may have to move this guess back farther.

Hey, they (the producers of Hyper-Oats) had to start somewhere.

* [[spoiler: Jossed. Akane still resents the Sybil System, but continues to work under it to bring change from within.]]
** [[spoiler: Still plausible for the upcoming season, though]].

* Does this really count as [=WMG=]? While it hasn't been outright stated that they were going for a Psycho-Pass = Psychopath correlation, it's seemed fairly obvious since Episode One.

* [[spoiler: "Eaten alive" tuns out to be quite literal, by having her brain plucked out of her body and added to Sibyl.]]

Mika's inability to be flexible has been noted upon by characters in the series, and Joshuu even goes out to say that she'll get eaten alive. While it might not be a literal occurence, something terrible might await her if she fails to adapt.

* [[spoiler:Confirmed. Specifically, the brains of captured criminals with high sociopathic tendencies.]]

[[WMG: One of the components of the Sibyl System is [[spoiler:the brain of Dr. HannibalLecter]].]]

[[WMG:The Sybil System is operated with the help of [[spoiler:"Criminally Asymptomatic People".]]]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed as of episode 17.]]
