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". 🤔

Jeremy: Hey, Freddie! Just wanted to let you know you killed it with that song you sang in glee club today.

Jeremy: I'm literally about to get in bed, so I don't know why I had the idea to text you this now of all times, but still!

Earlier this year, Goldcorp’s Marlin Mine in northwestern Guatemala oficially shut up shop after 12 years of operation. Worried that the company will simply pull out of the country without addressing any of the local communities numerous grievances regarding human rights abuses and environmental contamination that has jeopardised local communities livelihoods, the Frente de Defensa Miguelense (San Miguel Defense Front, FREDEMI) has organised a permanent blockade of the company’s installations. FREDEMI members first occupied the company’s private air strip on June 26th of this year and have been blocking all company-related traffic ever since. FREDEMI is demanding reparations for 12 years’ worth of damages. A mesa de diálogo (literally, “dialogue table”, a tool commonly used by the government to manage social conflict) has been created to bring the different parties to the conflict together and try to find a solution. Such dialogue tables have historically produced minimal results and have in some cases been cynically used by the government and the corporate sector as a time-wasting tactic while a more violent response is being prepared. For this reason, FREDEMI says they will need to put as much pressure on the government as possible in order to get a favourable result.

Interesting note, when occupying the air strip, FREDEMI members grounded a plane that has been identified as belonging to Mesoamerican Air Services SA, also known as Aerorutas Maya SA, a company that provides air services to a number of Guatemalan state institutions. The company was registered by Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca and appears in the Panama Papers leaks. This isn’t Goldcorp’s first brush with corruption. The company has been linked to the Cooptación del Estado corruption case currently being investigated by the Comisión Internacional contra la Impunidad en Guatemala (International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala, CICIG). Eduardo Villacorta, the former general manager of Goldcorp’s local subsidiary Montana Exploradora, is personally accused of participating in the scheme and is currently on the run from the law (though for some reason an international warrant has not yet been issued, despite Villacorta being scheduled to appear at a conference in Honduras this year).

From #Shinkane to #ShizuAka

This is a long post about my journey from shipping Shinkane (for a long time) but decided to move on to ShizuAka.

Yes, we all know Shinya Kogami and Akane Tsunemori do have special bond. Like mental connection with each other. Soulmates as we call it. Connected by the Red String of Fate (as we call in Japanese).

And most of the characters from PP-verse validates and knows this. Such as Masaoka and his son Ginoza for example. But there are quite a lot of evidence that made us all flap our ears whenever our favorite pair Shinya x Akane is concerned.

Some instances are:

PP Season 1:

Everyone says that it's Kou's infamous scream "Akaneee!" that proves Shinkane exists. But I do believe it was when Masaoka and Kogami shared a drink the night he left the PSB that proves Shinkane almost exist (watch EP. 18 again and know for yourself what do I mean!)

Kogami's letter. That's it. We all know it. The fact that he wrote a hand written note for her, not for Shion, not for Ginoza, not even to his mom! We all know that he value her so much.

Okay, alright... that infamous scream when he shouted for his name!

When he smiled when Akane and her team went on to Makishima's location ahead after learning of Kou's plan (thanks to Akane). He gleamed with pride.

When he didn't immediately run to catch Makishima, but instead carry Akane (bridal style) into safety when they were in a corn field. Or Oat field, I forgot. It shows how much he cared for her.

At this point I think everyone pretty much confirmed they shared a special bond.

PP - The Movie (1st)

When Kou first save her from explosion by shielding with his sexy abs 🤭

When Kou suggested her to stay with him for the night when there's clearly more room with the female locals in the Angkor Wat.

Their silent "I-know-you-care-know-I-care" treatment when Akane has to leave upto the point they were captured by Wong.

Kou wasn't surprised when Akane handed him a cigarette like he expects her to have them.

Don't forget to mention about Wong capturing them two together and plan to frame them just them. Only them. Because he sees them as threat. As if they were an item 🙄

PP - SS3

He's mad when Frederica stayed for the night and he don't know why 🤣.

He's proud of Akane's accomplishment after hearing Frede talks about the success of Div 1 as a team.

His regrets for exacting revenge and hesitations to have Tenzing follow his path mirrors Akane's ideals.

His mention of "He still have things to protect in Japan" (pay attention on that one) because in;

PP - Providence

He tries his best to reconnect with Akane but a case gets in their way.

His willingness to throw himself between her legs just to save her from an explosion almost a mile away from them compare to PP movie explosion.

His classic line "I'll follow you, even if you told me not to".

His protective nature all throughout the movie upto Akane's downfall.

His teary eyes while reading Akane's letter.

His promise to take her out of that place.

That Psycho Pass Recap during PPP promotionals which showcases the Shinkane viewpoint.

PP - S3 & FI

He don't have to pay Akane a visit nor to pick her up from jail because she's no longer his inspector! But he did anyway.

He keeps on saying he trust her and believes in her.

He didn't hurt Arata because he knows he is Akane's ward. Yes it is included.

The Merch

Yes am talking about the #KoAka keychain.

The PPP movie poster where Kou and Akane's faces are in the big picture and the rest are inside their heads!

The fan service stuff and clickbaits for all #Shinkane or #Koaka junkies!

The unforgivable hints of any romantic subplots from radio drama, merch, narrative etc.

My point is, all of them are just a setup to garner more viewership because they know Shinkane fandom is a big bunch!

But in the end, they want to tear us down by breaking our hearts with platonic inclinations between Kou and Akane 😭

The Segue:

Yes they created a segue under the guise of Frederica Hanashiro and Shizuka Homura.

We all know that PsychoPass Producers wanted to go down the path of Shonen Jump-esque plot. Which is why they seen #Shinkane fanbase as a threat. Although they don't want to shun the viewership influence of it.

That's why they create this "icings" (Shinkane sweet moment) as we call it to clickbait us! 😭😞

The Lure:

That's why in PPP Sinners of the System 3 and PPP they wanted to showcase Kogami x Frederica (the KouxFrede touching hand scene), the "Hey Akane don't blame Frederica for Saiga's death", to teach us that Kou is shippable with Frederica (a hot blonde).

Why Shinkane is a strong fan fave?

Because Akane is relatable character.

Because Kogami is a hot mess.

Akane a plain looking girl able to get the impression of Kogami a good-looking bad boy and former ace detective.

We all can easily identify with Akane. Us ordinary girls with strong principles are dreaming of a hot dude like Kogami who has ex-militia skills to swoon us over.

How the writers are tearing the #Shinkane/#KoAka fanbase:

Akane did ask (or even beg) Kogami to come back to Japan (from Season 1 especially the Psycho Pass Gekijōban, but he express no desire.

Only when Frederica, a tall-blonde-gorgeous looking half-brit half-japanese woman was able to bring him back.

They have a flirtateous moment in Sinners of the System part 3 novel during their night conversation.

The Kou x Frede indirect kiss through the bottle Scene.

Kou always standing beside Frederica.

Kou still choose to work in SAD with Frederica eventhough he has a chance to go back to PSB in PPP.

Kou's been treating Akane like trash eversince he gets back:

(1) During his famous balcony call when Akane hangs up. He didn't say sorry but instead let his pride dominate him.

(2) He only visited Akane in Season 3 after 2 years (when he rest his back at the door simply because he felt awkward bending to look at the window of Akane's height.

(3) He only picks her up out of guilt after he reads her hand-written letter.

(4) It was Shizuka Homura who negotiated Akane out of jail not Kogami.

(5) Kogami didn't comforted Akane. Only Ginoza did.

(6) Kogami had the chance to go back for Akane but he didn't. He chose to stay with Frede in S.A.D.

(7) Shinkane is one-sided. Only Akane likes him. But Ko?? No. The novels confirm that.

The Future of Shinkane:

From this point forward we can't expect anything much from this ship. Although as fans, we will keep them into our hearts and be as free as clouds to do more fanfictions out of these two characters because we've been rooting them since day 1.

But I think the writers want to us to move on with Kogami x Frederica and Shizuka x Akane.

With that, eventhough I still ship KoAka/Shinkane, I keep the possibilities open should the writers want to push them to other characters.

My Dime:

At this point I truly wish Akane would die in Kogami's arms and he finally realize he too has feelings for her but it's too late (as Saiga foretold), and he gets back to PSB mentoring new characters. Applying both his ideals to never overlook injustice plus also applying Akane's principles to uphold what is right by being just and fair.
