Kogami: That unbreakable bond with Akane 🫰🏻❤️

Yo, guys this is soooo Shinkane Coded to me... The moment I watched it, I knew for sure who might this be referring to 🤭🥰

[psychopasss4]

Kogami: The Purple Smoke Convo

You're all familiar with this scene from SS3, right? 😊

And it was a major BUZZ in the online community eversince. Now to understand it better, I'm gonna share with you another old comprehensive analysis as to understand the hidden context behind this scene from Fredegami. 🤭🫰🏻

And if there's really a sexual meaning or none?

Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development consists of five stages, each characterized by the focus of libido (sexual energy) on different areas of the body. Here’s a brief overview of each stage:

Oral Stage (0-1 year): During this stage, an infant's primary source of interaction and pleasure is through the mouth. This includes sucking, biting, and breastfeeding. Issues in this stage can lead to oral fixations, such as smoking or overeating, in later life.

Anal Stage (1-3 years): The focus shifts to the control of bladder and bowel functions. Successful navigation of this stage leads to a sense of accomplishment and autonomy. Fixations may result in traits such as obsessiveness or orderliness.

Phallic Stage (3-6 years): The focus is on the genital area. During this stage, children become aware of their bodies and the differences between genders. The Oedipus or Electra complex may arise, where children feel desire for the opposite-sex parent and rivalry with the same-sex parent.

Latency Stage (6-puberty): Sexual impulses are repressed during this stage, and children focus on developing communication and intellectual skills. Friendships and social interactions become more important.

Genital Stage (puberty onward): The focus returns to the genital area but in a more mature and balanced way. Individuals seek to form healthy, adult relationships and achieve a balance between various aspects of life.

In Relation to Frederica and Kogami’s Conversation in "The Purple Smoke":

In the manga chapter "The Purple Smoke," Frederica Hanashiro relates Kogami’s smoking habit to Freud’s theories of psychosexual development. Here’s how Freud’s stages are connected to their conversation:

Oral Stage: Frederica’s reference to Kogami’s smoking could be interpreted through the lens of the oral stage. Freud suggested that smoking might be a fixation from this early stage, where individuals might seek oral gratification through smoking as a substitute for unmet needs or unresolved conflicts from infancy.

Freud’s Theory of Excessive Maternal Love or Loneliness: Frederica’s comments about excessive maternal love or extreme loneliness relate to how early life experiences shape adult behaviors. Kogami’s smoking might be viewed as a manifestation of unresolved issues from the oral stage, where he might be dealing with feelings of inadequacy or lack of emotional support.

Psychological Coping Mechanism: Kogami’s smoking, as discussed by Frederica, can be seen as a coping mechanism for deeper psychological issues. This aligns with Freud’s view that behaviors in later life are often rooted in unresolved conflicts from earlier developmental stages.

Character Development: The conversation helps to delve into Kogami’s psychological profile, providing insights into his behavior. By referencing Freud’s stages, Frederica highlights how Kogami’s smoking might be more than just a habit; it could be a sign of deeper psychological issues tied to his early experiences.

Symbolism and Insight: The discussion enriches the narrative by using Freud’s psychosexual stages to interpret Kogami’s actions, adding a layer of psychological depth to his character and illustrating how past experiences influence current behavior.

In summary, Frederica’s analysis of Kogami’s smoking habit through Freud’s stages of psychosexual development offers insight into how unresolved issues from early stages might manifest in adult behavior. This connection provides a deeper understanding of Kogami’s psychological state and enhances the thematic exploration of personal and emotional struggles in SS3.

The Analysis of Sexual Context:

Symbolic Interpretation:

Freud’s Theory: Freud’s psychosexual stages involve understanding how early experiences shape adult behavior, including sexual behavior. In this conversation, Frederica references Freud’s idea that unresolved issues from the oral stage (such as excessive maternal love or loneliness) could manifest in behaviors like smoking. This isn't directly sexual but symbolic of how unmet needs from earlier stages might influence adult actions.

Smoking as a Symbol: Kogami’s smoking is symbolic of his unresolved psychological issues. It represents a coping mechanism or a manifestation of deeper conflicts, potentially rooted in early experiences related to Freud's stages. This symbolism ties back to Freud's ideas about the expression of repressed desires or conflicts.

Implicit References:

Oral Stage Fixation: The conversation implies that Kogami's smoking could be related to an oral fixation, a concept Freud discussed where adults might continue behaviors related to oral gratification if there were issues during the oral stage. This is indirectly related to sexual context through Freud's theory but is more about psychological manifestation than explicit sexual content.

Freudian Lens:

Psychological Insight: Freud’s theories often include sexual undertones, as he believed many behaviors and neuroses were linked to sexual development. Frederica’s use of Freud’s theory provides psychological insight rather than focusing directly on sexual content. It’s more about understanding how early developmental stages affect adult behavior.

Narrative Focus:

Character Exploration: The primary focus of the conversation is on Kogami’s psychological state and how his smoking might reflect deeper issues. The sexual context is present in Freud’s theory but is used here to explore emotional and psychological complexities rather than to highlight explicit sexual themes.

So, in short, Freud’s psychosexual theory inherently involves sexual development and conflicts, the conversation between Frederica and Kogami in SS3 "The Purple Smoke" primarily uses these theories to provide psychological insight into Kogami’s behavior. The underlying sexual context is more implicit and symbolic, focusing on psychological implications rather than explicit sexual content.

Kogami: That failed promise 😂

KOGAMI:

AKANE:

"No, don't bother anymore. Shizuoka-san already risked his life to bail me out."

SHIZUOKA:

"RELEASE AKANE TSUNEMORI!"

KOGAMI:

Shizuoka? Who the heck is---

Wait, wha~ Did she just call him by his first name?

🤣🤣🤣

THE SOUND OF HANG-UP

[psychopasss4]

Kogami: His return to Japan.

This analysis had long been running to my mind ever since I watched Sinners of the System 3: Beyond the Pale of Vengeance.

This might stir a lot of violent reactions for some folks out there. But bear in mind that this reflections are from SS3 era. So hold your horses and refrain from flooding my inbox with hated remarks 😅😁🙈.

💮💮💮💮

In PP the Movie (Gekijouban), we saw Akane immediately bought a plane ticket to SEAUn the moment she received the news of Kogami's whereabouts. (Our dear Akane-chan is a bit aggressive there. Chasing the man she loves respects most 🤭).

And she tried to indirectly persuade him to go back with her to Japan. But she's unsuccessful. That scene when she wants to join Kogami (before his epic motorbike stunt with Shem) showed how eager she is to stay with him until he's ready to return. But Kogami-chan shove her off while assuring her that he won't die just yet with a smirk on his face.

But then, a year after that he came back after a shared bottle with Frederica and their midnight discussion about Cigarette puff psychological context 🤗😅😁😜

I've been thinking hard what could be playing on Kogami's mind when making those choices and I believe it has something to do with his view of the two women whom he worked with.

Note: Look how old handsome he looks in here 😜😅😳

✨✨✨✨

Kogami's View of Akane

Respect and Admiration: Kogami respects Akane's strong moral compass, intelligence, and dedication to justice. Her idealism and determination to uphold her values in a corrupt system likely resonate with him deeply.

Influence: Akane has a significant influence on Kogami, helping him see different perspectives and consider the importance of lawful justice over personal vengeance.

Bond: Their bond is built on shared experiences and mutual growth. Kogami likely sees Akane as someone who understands him on a fundamental level, given their shared past and the way they've shaped each other's views.

Kogami's View of Frederica

Professionalism: Kogami likely views Frederica as a competent and resourceful colleague. Their relationship is rooted more in professional respect and shared goals.

Pragmatism: Frederica's pragmatic and strategic approach to their work might appeal to Kogami's tactical mindset, but it doesn’t necessarily imply a deeper, personal connection.

Support: Frederica provides Kogami with opportunities and resources that are beneficial for his missions, fostering a sense of mutual benefit rather than personal attachment.

Why Kogami Returned to Japan After Meeting Frederica in Sinners of the System 3 vs. Akane in the First Movie

Return to Japan After Meeting Frederica

Mission-Oriented: Kogami's return to Japan after meeting Frederica in "Sinners of the System 3" was driven by a clear mission and purpose. His focus was on addressing specific threats and working towards goals aligned with his professional objectives.

Strategic Opportunity: Frederica's proposal likely offered a strategic advantage or opportunity that aligned with Kogami's current goals and needs, making it a pragmatic choice to return to Japan.

Not Returning After Meeting Akane in the First Movie

Unresolved Conflict: After meeting Akane in the first movie, Kogami might have felt that returning to Japan would complicate their unresolved personal and professional conflicts. His presence could disrupt Akane’s work and potentially put her in difficult situations.

Self-Imposed Exile: Kogami's self-imposed exile and desire to atone for his past actions might have kept him away, feeling that his return could do more harm than good, both for Akane and for himself.

Protective Instinct: Kogami's decision could also stem from a protective instinct, wanting to keep Akane safe from the dangers associated with his return and the attention it would bring from various factions.

In summary, Kogami's interactions with Akane are deeply personal and complex, while his interactions with Frederica are more pragmatic and mission-focused. His decisions are influenced by the nature of these relationships and the strategic implications of his actions.

Postscript:

After watching PP3/PPFI on 2019, I think Kou-chan is way more comfortable in working with Frederica 🤔. Why?

They've been working for almost 2-3years after SS3 and compliments each other's skills better. Compare with Akane whom Kogami only worked with for only several months.

Yes, yes despite of that Shinkane still have more deeper bond, I know..I know.. but I'll talk about that bond and the intensity of it in the next Shinkane analysis...

🤭😘❤️

[psychopasss4]

Kogami: Fear of Entanglement

So I just have some Shinkane Analysis leftovers here which I wanna share with you guys. Some time after another. And right now, here's a significant one 🤭.

You see I really wanna focus on sharing some personal insights/analysis of the other PP characters both Protag and Antag. But with limited time, I think I will have to post it via schedule or queue. 🤔🤗

Anyway, here's my thought why Kogami seemingly keeping a safe distance from Akane ever since he gets back from Tibet (Tenzing's abode in SS3).

💠💠💠💠

Shinya Kogami and Akane Tsunemori's relationship in "Psycho-Pass" is complex and nuanced. Here’s a detailed analysis of whether Kogami has feelings for Akane and the reasons he might be keeping his distance from her:

Potential Feelings for Akane

Protectiveness: Kogami consistently displays a strong sense of protectiveness towards Akane. He often steps in to shield her from harm and provides guidance, suggesting a level of care beyond mere professional duty.

Trust and Respect: Throughout the series, Kogami shows deep respect for Akane's judgments and decisions, even when they differ from his own. He values her perspective and treats her as an equal, indicating a significant emotional investment in her.

Subtle Emotional Expressions: Kogami is generally stoic, but there are subtle moments where his concern for Akane is evident, such as his reactions when she is in danger or when she makes significant decisions. These moments hint at deeper feelings.

Reasons for Keeping His Distance

Professional Boundaries: As a former Inspector turned Enforcer, Kogami understands the importance of maintaining professional boundaries. His role is to act as a tool of the system, and forming close personal relationships, especially with someone in a higher position, could compromise his effectiveness and objectivity.

Personal Mission: Kogami is driven by a personal mission to seek revenge against Shogo Makishima, the man responsible for his descent into the Enforcer role. This single-minded pursuit leaves little room for personal relationships or emotional entanglements.

Fear of Corruption: Kogami is acutely aware of the potential for his darker impulses to influence those around him. He might fear that his presence could corrupt or endanger Akane, whose idealism and moral integrity he deeply respects.

Emotional Self-Protection: Given the traumatic experiences Kogami has endured, he might be reluctant to form close emotional bonds to protect himself from further pain. His past has taught him the harsh consequences of attachment, and distancing himself from Akane could be a way to shield his own emotions.

Akane’s Safety: Kogami likely believes that staying close to Akane could put her in greater danger, given his own status as a target for criminal elements. By keeping his distance, he hopes to ensure her safety.

Conclusion

Kogami’s behavior towards Akane suggests a complex mix of respect, care, and possibly deeper feelings. However, his professional role, personal mission, fear of corruption, need for emotional self-protection, and concern for Akane’s safety all contribute to his decision to maintain distance. Their relationship is marked by a profound mutual respect and unspoken understanding, making it one of the most compelling dynamics in "Psycho-Pass."

KoMaki Analysis: The ghost of Makishima.

Alright, so I've been posting those Shinkane-themed analysis for the past weeks. But now, I would like to focus on the hard fact that everyone wants to talk about, but hardly speaks about. 😜🙈🤭.

Presenting, the truth behind KoMaki's undeniable intense connection.

Kogami Shinya’s ongoing encounters with Makishima Shogo’s ghost, particularly evident in the "Psycho-Pass: The Movie" and the "Sinners of the System: Beyond the Pale of Vengeance" film, represent a deep psychological and thematic thread woven into the narrative. This recurring motif can be analyzed from several perspectives:

Psychological Analysis

Guilt and Responsibility:

Direct Responsibility: Kogami feels a profound sense of responsibility for Makishima’s death, which he executed personally. This act of killing, albeit necessary in the context of the story, leaves a lasting impact on Kogami’s psyche. He is constantly haunted by the weight of this decision and the consequences it brought.

Guilt Over Akane: Kogami also grapples with guilt over leaving Tsunemori Akane and the path he took. His actions indirectly placed her in danger and forced her to confront her own moral and ethical boundaries.

Ideological Clash:

Philosophical Antithesis: Makishima and Kogami represent two sides of a philosophical coin. Makishima's disdain for the Sybil System and his anarchistic ideology starkly contrast with Kogami's initial belief in justice and order, albeit through his methods. Kogami's hallucinations of Makishima symbolize this ongoing internal conflict and the challenge of reconciling these ideologies within himself.

Unresolved Conflict:

Unfinished Business: The spectral presence of Makishima signifies unresolved issues and the unfinished ideological battle between them. Makishima's ghost embodies the lingering questions and the unfinished dialogue about justice, freedom, and the nature of humanity that Kogami continues to wrestle with.

Symbolic Analysis

Makishima as a Symbol of Doubt:

Catalyst for Change: Makishima acts as a catalyst for Kogami’s transformation and his subsequent questioning of the Sybil System. The ghostly appearances signify the enduring impact Makishima had on Kogami’s worldview, pushing him towards a more critical and reflective stance.

Representation of Inner Turmoil:

Conflict with the Self: The ghost represents Kogami’s inner turmoil and the constant struggle between his old self, who believed in the system, and his new self, who is disillusioned and skeptical. Makishima’s ghost is a personification of this internal conflict.

Potential Romantic Undertones

Complex Relationship Dynamics:

Intense Connection: The relationship between Kogami and Makishima is marked by a deep and intense connection, albeit antagonistic. While it is not overtly romantic, the intensity of their interactions and the profound impact they have on each other can be seen as a form of intellectual and emotional intimacy.

Obsession and Fascination:

Psychological Depth: The continuous hallucinations suggest a level of obsession and fascination Kogami has with Makishima. This can be interpreted as a form of deep psychological bond, which, while not romantic in the traditional sense, signifies a complex and intertwined relationship.

Conclusion

Kogami Shinya's inability to move on from Makishima Shogo is multifaceted, involving psychological guilt, ideological conflict, and symbolic representation of internal struggles. While there is no explicit romantic undertone, the intensity and depth of their connection suggest a profound psychological bond that transcends simple antagonism. Makishima’s ghost serves as a constant reminder of Kogami’s inner conflicts, unresolved guilt, and the ideological battles that continue to shape his journey.

That "Bijin 美人" theory analysis

In Japanese culture, the term "bijin" (美人) refers to a beautiful woman. It's a common term used to describe someone who is considered physically attractive according to traditional or contemporary standards of beauty in Japan.

Shinya Kogami's preference for "bijin" women suggests that he is attracted to women who are conventionally beautiful. This, however, does not necessarily determine his deeper, emotional connections or compatibility with someone.

In the context of his relationships with Akane Tsunemori and Frederica Hanashiro:

Akane Tsunemori: Akane is not traditionally portrayed as a "bijin" in the series, but she is shown to be intelligent, compassionate, and morally strong. Her relationship with Kogami is built on mutual respect and understanding, especially in their professional dynamic. Kogami's potential romantic feelings for Akane would likely stem from these deeper qualities rather than just physical appearance.

Frederica Hanashiro: Frederica is depicted as a strong and capable woman who might fit the "bijin" description more closely. If Kogami has an attraction to Frederica, it could be influenced by both her physical appearance and her professional competence and strength.

Overall, while Kogami's preference for "bijin" women might suggest a leaning towards physical attractiveness, it doesn't overshadow the importance of emotional and intellectual compatibility in his relationships. Thus, his connection with Akane could still be significant despite not fitting the "bijin" mold.

SS3: That "bottle scene" analysis 😜🤭😘

If Akane Tsunemori were to find out about Kogami drinking from Frederica's bottle, her reaction and Kogami's response would likely be influenced by their complex relationship and individual personalities. Here’s an analysis of how this scenario might unfold:

Akane's Reaction

Curiosity and Analysis: Akane is highly analytical and perceptive. Her initial reaction would likely be curiosity rather than jealousy or anger. She might question the context and reasoning behind the act to understand it better.

Subtle Concern: While Akane might not openly express it, she could feel a subtle concern or discomfort. Given her deep connection with Kogami, any indication of his forming a close bond with someone else could stir some underlying feelings.

Professionalism: Akane is a consummate professional. Her focus on duty and justice would likely prevent her from letting personal feelings interfere with her work. She would prioritize the mission and their collective goals over any personal sentiments.

Kogami's Response

Straightforward Explanation: Kogami might provide a straightforward explanation, emphasizing the practicality and necessity of the situation. He would likely downplay any implications of intimacy, focusing on the context that led to the action.

Reassurance: If he senses any concern or discomfort from Akane, Kogami might offer reassurance. He values their partnership and would not want any misunderstandings to affect their working relationship.

Subtle Acknowledgment: Kogami is often taciturn, but he might subtly acknowledge the bond he shares with Akane. Without being overt, he could convey that his relationship with Frederica does not diminish his regard for Akane.

Interaction Dynamics

The interaction between Akane and Kogami in this scenario would likely be subtle and layered:

Professional Dialogue: Their conversation might start with professional overtones, discussing the situation and its implications for their mission.

Unspoken Understanding: Much of their relationship is based on unspoken understanding and mutual respect. This scenario might add another layer to their nuanced connection, highlighting their ability to navigate complex emotions while remaining focused on their goals.

Personal Conclusion

If Akane were to find out about Kogami drinking from Frederica's bottle, the resulting interaction would likely be a blend of professionalism, subtle emotional undercurrents, and mutual respect. Kogami’s response would be pragmatic and reassuring, maintaining the delicate balance in their relationship while emphasizing their shared commitment to their mission.

POV: "Kogami-san indirectly kiss someone?" Akane exclaimed softly.

[psychopasss4]

The "hang-up" analysis 🤭😁

M'kay, let's talk about it now...

The balcony scene in "Psycho-Pass: Providence" is rich in subtext and emotional undertones. And when Akane hangs up on Kogami, his subsequent actions and expressions offer insights into his internal state. Here’s a thorough analysis of what Kogami might be thinking:

Emotional Context:

Regret and Guilt: Kogami likely feels a sense of regret and guilt. Throughout the series, his actions have often placed him in opposition to Akane's ideals. The call may have brought these feelings to the surface, especially if he perceives that he has disappointed or hurt her.

Loneliness and Isolation: Despite his tough exterior, Kogami is a deeply solitary character. Akane is one of the few people with whom he shares a genuine connection. Her hanging up could accentuate his feelings of isolation, reinforcing the emotional walls he has built around himself.

Reflection on Choices: Kogami might be reflecting on the choices he has made. His life as a fugitive and enforcer of his own brand of justice has led him down a path that diverges significantly from Akane’s. The call could serve as a moment for him to ponder the divergent paths they have taken.

Tactical Considerations:

Strategic Concerns: Kogami is a pragmatic and strategic thinker. He might be considering the implications of their conversation for their ongoing mission or the broader situation they are facing. Akane’s decision to hang up could indicate her stance on certain actions or strategies, prompting Kogami to reassess his plans.

Communication Breakdown: The hang-up might signify a communication breakdown between them. Kogami could be contemplating how to bridge this gap, recognizing the importance of their collaboration despite their differing methods.

Personal Reflections:

Unresolved Feelings: Kogami's gesture of rubbing his temple can be seen as a physical manifestation of his inner turmoil. He may be grappling with unresolved feelings for Akane, whether they are of a personal, professional, or ethical nature.

Fatigue and Weariness: Rubbing his temple and going to sleep could also symbolize his mental and physical fatigue. The burden of his actions and the continuous struggle against the system might be taking a toll on him, and Akane’s reaction could serve as a reminder of the weight he carries.

Symbolic Interpretation:

Conflict Between Ideals: Kogami and Akane represent two sides of the same coin, with Kogami often taking a more radical approach compared to Akane’s adherence to law and order. The hang-up could symbolize the ongoing conflict between these two ideologies within Kogami’s mind.

Hope and Despair: Akane’s action might leave Kogami oscillating between hope and despair. Hope, because despite everything, she is still willing to engage with him; despair, because her hang-up suggests a significant emotional and ideological distance between them.

Conclusion:

Kogami’s reaction to Akane hanging up the call is multifaceted, encompassing regret, loneliness, strategic reconsideration, and personal reflection. It highlights the complexity of his character and his deep connection with Akane, serving as a poignant moment that underscores the emotional and ethical dilemmas he faces.

The first-name basis analysis 🤗

(The most awaited analysis so far) 😅

Okay, this was a steamy hot topic last year when PPP was first dropped on Theaters. Kogami calling Frederica on her first name while adressing Akane with formality?

So this is just my hypothetical analysis on the subject matter...

The use of first names versus surnames in Japanese culture carries significant implications about the nature of relationships, respect, and familiarity. Analyzing why Shinya Kogami never called Akane Tsunemori by her first name, while he did call Frederica Hanashiro by her first name, can reveal a lot about the nature of his relationships with these two characters.

Cultural Context

In Japanese culture:

Surnames are typically used in professional or formal settings to show respect and maintain a certain distance.

First names are usually reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners, indicating a higher level of intimacy and familiarity.

Kogami and Akane Tsunemori

Professionalism and Respect:

Professional Hierarchy: When Akane first joins the Public Safety Bureau, she is a novice Inspector while Kogami is an Enforcer. Their relationship begins within a strict professional hierarchy, where the use of surnames is a sign of respect and adherence to protocol.

Maintaining Distance: Even as their relationship evolves, Kogami continues to call her “Tsunemori.” This could indicate his desire to maintain a professional boundary and show respect for her position and role.

Emotional Distance and Respect:

Respect for Boundaries: Kogami might refrain from using Akane’s first name out of respect for her boundaries and the seriousness of their work. Given the dangerous and emotionally charged nature of their missions, maintaining a formal distance could help manage their professional responsibilities.

Emotional Guard: Kogami’s reluctance to use Akane’s first name might also reflect his emotional guardedness. He respects her deeply and values their connection, but using her first name could signify a level of emotional intimacy he is not ready to embrace, given his past traumas and personal mission.

Symbolic Gesture:

Symbol of Professionalism: Continuing to use her surname symbolizes the professional and respectful nature of their relationship. It underscores the mutual respect and trust they have developed, without crossing into overtly personal territory.

Kogami and Frederica Hanashiro

Different Cultural Context:

Western Influence: Frederica Hanashiro operates in a more international context, where the use of first names might be more common. Her mixed heritage and possibly Westernized working environment might make first names a norm rather than a sign of deep personal connection.

Work Environment: In international or more casual work settings, using first names can be a sign of mutual respect and camaraderie, rather than an indicator of intimate friendship.

Equal Standing:

Professional Equals: Kogami and Frederica often work as equals or partners, not within a strict hierarchical structure. Using her first name can signify mutual respect and partnership rather than a formal superior-subordinate relationship.

Strategic Partnership: Their relationship is built on strategic cooperation. Using first names might help foster a sense of teamwork and equal footing, which is crucial for their joint missions.

Personal Comfort:

Ease of Interaction: Kogami might feel more comfortable using Frederica’s first name because their relationship, while professional, does not carry the same emotional weight and complexity as his relationship with Akane. It is easier for him to navigate and define.

Hypothetical Meaning

Different Forms of Respect:

Akane: By continuing to call Akane “Tsunemori,” Kogami shows a deep, abiding respect for her as a professional and a person. It is a sign of his recognition of her growth and his commitment to their shared mission.

Frederica: Calling Frederica by her first name signifies a more straightforward form of respect and equality, fitting their less emotionally charged and more pragmatic relationship.

Managing Emotions:

Akane: Kogami’s use of Akane’s surname helps him manage his complex emotions towards her. It creates a necessary boundary that allows him to focus on their work without the potential complications of a more intimate relationship.

Frederica: The ease of using Frederica’s first name might reflect a simpler, more direct relationship, where the boundaries are clear and less emotionally fraught.

Symbolic Boundaries:

Akane: The surname usage maintains a symbolic boundary that protects both Kogami and Akane from the potential vulnerabilities that come with deeper emotional intimacy. It helps sustain a professional environment where they can both function effectively.

Frederica: The use of her first name breaks down formal barriers, facilitating smoother and more effective teamwork in a different cultural and operational context.

Conclusion:

Kogami’s choice to call Akane by her surname and Frederica by her first name highlights the different natures of his relationships with them.

With Akane, it reflects a deep respect, emotional complexity, and the need to maintain professional boundaries.

With Frederica, it indicates a pragmatic partnership, professional equality, and a less emotionally intense connection. These choices underscore Kogami’s nuanced approach to relationships, balancing respect, emotional management, and operational efficiency.

And perhaps... just perhaps... it's Kogami's way to tell Akane "No. Don't fall for somebody like me". 🤔

Analysing the dynamics between Fredegami & Koaka

Or Shinkane should I say in western approach 🤭

Comparing Kogami's potential preferences between Frederica Hanashiro and Akane Tsunemori requires an examination of his interactions, mutual respect, and emotional connections with each character. Here's a detailed analysis based on available information from the "Psycho-Pass" series and movies:

Mutual Respect: Akane admires Kogami's skills and dedication, while Kogami respects Akane's strong sense of justice and her ability to remain morally grounded despite the challenges she faces.

Trust: Throughout the series, Kogami and Akane demonstrate significant trust in each other. Akane often defends Kogami’s actions and decisions, even when they are controversial.

Emotional Connection:

Deep Understanding: Akane seems to understand Kogami's motivations and inner turmoil better than most, often acting as a moral compass and emotional anchor for him.

Sacrifice and Concern: Akane shows genuine concern for Kogami’s well-being, going as far as risking her career to protect him. Kogami, in turn, values Akane’s safety and shows concern for her well-being, often advising her to be cautious.

Dynamic:

Complementary Strengths: Akane’s idealism and moral integrity complement Kogami’s pragmatic and sometimes ruthless approach. Their differences often lead to a balanced perspective on justice and duty.

Evolving Relationship: Over time, their relationship evolves from one of mentorship to mutual respect and partnership. This evolution signifies a deepening bond that goes beyond mere professional interaction.

Shinya Kogami and Frederica Hanashiro

Limited Personal Depth: Their interactions, while respectful and professional, lack the deep emotional connection seen between Kogami and Akane. There is a sense of professional camaraderie rather than personal intimacy.

Dynamic:

Equal Standing: Both Kogami and Frederica operate as equals, with neither being subordinate to the other. This dynamic fosters mutual respect but also limits deeper personal connections.

Focused on Mission: Their relationship is primarily defined by their shared goals and missions. There is less exploration of personal values, emotional struggles, or deeper motivations in their interactions.

Comparative Analysis

Emotional Depth:

Akane: Kogami shares a deeper emotional bond with Akane. Their relationship is marked by mutual understanding, concern, and emotional support. Akane serves as an emotional anchor for Kogami, helping him navigate his internal conflicts.

Frederica: The relationship with Frederica is more professional and pragmatic. While there is respect and admiration, it lacks the emotional depth and personal connection seen with Akane.

Mutual Respect:

Both Akane and Frederica respect Kogami for his skills and dedication. However, Akane’s respect is coupled with a deep personal concern for Kogami, while Frederica’s respect is more professional and strategic.

Complementary Dynamics:

Akane: The complementary strengths of Kogami and Akane create a balanced dynamic where they challenge and support each other’s views on justice and morality.

Frederica: The dynamic with Frederica is more about strategic partnership and mutual respect in professional settings, lacking the personal growth and emotional support present in Kogami’s relationship with Akane.

Trust and Sacrifice:

Akane: There is significant trust and willingness to sacrifice for each other between Kogami and Akane. This aspect of their relationship highlights a deeper bond and mutual reliance.

Frederica: While there is trust in professional capabilities, the personal willingness to sacrifice or go beyond professional duties is less pronounced with Frederica.

Conclusion:

Kogami’s relationship with Akane Tsunemori is marked by deep emotional connection, mutual respect, and personal growth. Akane’s understanding of Kogami’s inner struggles and her role as his emotional anchor suggest a stronger and more meaningful bond.

In contrast, Kogami’s relationship with Frederica Hanashiro is characterized by professional respect and strategic partnership, lacking the same depth of personal and emotional connection. Therefore, based on the available interactions and dynamics, Kogami is likely to have a stronger preference for Akane due to their profound emotional bond and complementary strengths.

PP3 Manga Fredegami Analysis 🥰

Remember in PP3 manga, when Frederica is feeling down and the SuGinoKou (Sugo, Ginoza and Kogami) made something to uplift her mood, Kogami showed sign that she's aware of what makes Frederica happy. And that is a firing gun training with him.

(Not an actual Photo. Taken from SS3).

So this analysis is to understand whether he's more invested in knowing Frederica's interest than Aka-chan. 🤗

And yes, lately I've been posting a lot about Analysis because it's something I already did and ready to paste, now that times are quite busy with projects 🥰.

So without further ado, let me start...

💫💫💫

The dynamic between Shinya Kogami and Akane Tsunemori in "Psycho-Pass" is complex, nuanced, and deeply rooted in their shared experiences and philosophical clashes.

In contrast, Kogami's interactions with Frederica Hanashiro in "Psycho-Pass 3" introduce a different aspect of his character.

Analyzing Kogami's Behavior Toward Akane and Frederica:

Different Contexts and Roles: -With Akane: Kogami's relationship with Akane is built on their shared history and mutual respect. They have faced significant challenges together, which has forged a deep but often unspoken bond. Kogami sees Akane as a strong, independent individual who can handle her struggles. His approach towards her is more about respect for her autonomy and strength. - With Frederica: The dynamic with Frederica is less fraught with the intense personal history that marks his relationship with Akane. In "Psycho-Pass 3," Kogami might see Frederica as a colleague who needs support in a different way, leading him to act more openly considerate of her emotional state.

Kogami's Evolution: By "Psycho-Pass 3," Kogami has undergone significant character development. His experiences and the time spent away from his previous life may have influenced his approach to interpersonal relationships. He might be more willing to show concern and empathy towards Frederica, reflecting his growth.

Nature of Relationships: -Akane: Kogami's relationship with Akane is defined by mutual respect and a shared mission. He trusts Akane to handle her own issues and might feel that intervening too much could undermine her independence. -Frederica: With Frederica, the relationship dynamic might be different, where Kogami feels a more explicit responsibility to provide support. This could be due to the context of their work together or a recognition of her need for emotional support.

Unspoken Understanding with Akane: Kogami and Akane share an unspoken understanding and deep respect. His way of supporting Akane might be more subtle and indirect, trusting her resilience and capabilities. This does not necessarily mean he is less invested in her well-being; rather, he respects her strength and autonomy.

Personal vs. Professional Concern: Kogami's actions toward Frederica might be seen as more overt because the professional setting allows or necessitates it. His relationship with Akane, however, is more personal and complicated by their history and his own internal struggles.

Conclusion:

Kogami's actions towards Frederica in "Psycho-Pass 3" do not necessarily indicate that he is more invested in her well-being than Akane's. Instead, it reflects different relationship dynamics, his character growth, and the varying contexts of his interactions with each woman. Kogami's respect for Akane's strength and autonomy might lead him to support her in more subtle ways, whereas his support for Frederica might be more overt and situationally appropriate.

1. Professional Relationship and Respect

Kogami and Akane start with a purely professional relationship. Kogami respects Akane's moral convictions and her commitment to justice, despite her inexperience. This respect grows over time, as seen in Kogami's acknowledgment of Akane's abilities and instincts. This mutual respect is a solid foundation for any deeper feelings to develop.

2. Protective Instinct

Kogami often exhibits a protective instinct towards Akane. This is evident when he warns her about the dangers of getting too close to the criminal mind and when he goes to great lengths to protect her during dangerous missions. While this could be seen as a mentor's concern for his protégé, it could also suggest deeper, more personal feelings.

3. Shared Ideals and Values

Akane's belief in Kogami's integrity and her refusal to give up on him, even when he becomes a fugitive, indicate a deep bond.

5. Subtle Hints and Gestures

The creators of "Psycho-Pass" have included subtle hints and gestures that could be interpreted as signs of Kogami's affection for Akane. For instance, Kogami's gentle teasing, his lingering glances, and moments of vulnerability shared with Akane can be seen as indications of a crush.

6. Narrative Choices
