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."

MY REVIEW ON PSYCHO PASS PROVIDENCE

Disclaimer: I’ve been Psycho Pass fans since (roughly) 9 years ago. I’ve never want to write any reviews on the series until now because I NEED THIS TO GET OUT OFF MY HEAD, and there’s some things I don’t understand. Still, I’m just a fan, this review is based on my opinion only. After I finish this so called essay, I found more question than answer, so if you don’t want extra headache, don’t read it. Also if you’re not Kouaka shipper, pass it, you’ll find me annoying.

Apologize beforehand if there’s any typo or any missed info. I hope you understand my write (English isn’t my first language, so I struggled a lot.)

This post consist on four part; review, my opinion on character, relationship, and my irregular thoughts throughout scene.

BEWARE OF THE SPOILERS.

..

STORY, CHARACTER

PPP occur after Kougami’s return to Japan. Shorty after, Peacebreaker make their way to steal Stronskaya Paper for their gain, terrorize everyone that blocked their plan. Akane can’t stay still after witnessing horrible acts of this group and their leader, determine to arrest them along with division 1 and SAD team.

Overall story is pretty straightforward, which I like. They make a new storyline and new interesting character and villain, makes it compelling. A new system like General is a fresh idea, rather than just stick with Sybil System. We actually can relate to villain, learn through his trauma and backstory, eventually we feel sympathy for him. Not to mention some cool stunt and action.

Aside from storyline, what makes this more interesting is we get to see relationship development between Kougami, Akane and Ginoza before S3. The three OG character since s1, and how they see each other now.

Akane, as a main character can finally have some development also in the end of the movie. I wish they explore it more.

MUSIC, VISUAL & ANIMATON

The music director did a good job on this. The music match with the atmosphere of the scene so well, so we, as an audience totally immerse in the story. Some soundtrack even take samples from season 1, create nostalgic feeling into it.

Production I.G did it again for visual animation! Texture detail, smooth animation and background image is top tier. I have no right to complain anything.

OVERALL CONCLUSION (7.5/10)

This is what movie should be. Action, good plot, good character development. I had so much fun than I expected to be and recommend to every anime fan to watch it.

..

MY OPINION ON CHARACTERS:

Kougami

Kougami being Kougami again. Ever since SS3, I think we truly knows what kind of person he is, and he’s never change. That might be the reason why he didn’t regret what he’s done. Some people care for his well being though, like Prof. Saiga and Akane, she’s concern he might be used as violence tool only, that’s why she actually wanted to bring him back to CID.

In this movie, aside from being agent, it’s refreshing to see him being a detective mode even for a little moment, like the scene he had with Shion, because apparently he has brain too :/

2. Akane

Some thing never change, Akane and her unshakeable trust to the system. Like I mention before, I wish they explore more the moment before she took the action.

Throughout the film, she seems more emotional than usual. Her explosive anger remind me of s2 Akane so much.

After the incident, I was speechless of how brave she is to let it all go. Imagine your flawless, peaceful, secure life suddenly take turns and now all people will label you as unhinged. She earn my respect.

3. Ginoza

He’s truly MVP, along with Sugo. He basically carried everyone, especially how he help Sugo and Frederica.

His interaction with Kougami at first is amusing and predictable. He only mad for awhile, before he finally accept him again. At the end, his face shown frustrated for Akane’s decision, leaving everything that she achieve so far. I wonder if he feel failed again to ‘save’ his friend.

4. Frederica

She’s the perfect example of good subordinate, I think. She’s the type who obedient to her boss, not judging or question Yabuki’s decision. The contrast between her and Akane in this aspect made me laugh and make me realize that Akane is such a rebel, (lol). But she wouldn’t rebel if Sybil wasn’t an asshole.

5. Akira

Sad tool to Yabuki and Shindo :’( Seriously, he remind me so much of Kougami. Akira is selfless, willing to sacrifice himself as undercover agent for MoFA. Not to mention he even beat Kougami and Sugo in close fight, state how strong he is. If it’s not because of his kindness to spare Kougami on that scene with Tonami possessing Yabuki, Kougami would be dead by now. I think that’s why Kougami make frustrated face when he die. Seriously, his death is such a shame. He also makes me think that Kougami wouldn’t end up like Tonami, but more like him, because until PP3, the man doesn’t have ambition.

..

RELATIONSHIP OPINION:

Kougami and Akane

Idk if some people see this relationship is sink, or whatever. For me it’s actually the opposite. Akane FINALLY understand Kougami a little more. Even inspired by him. I don’t know exactly what she see in Kougami that inspire her to shot Kasei, is it because despite his CC, he actually have conscience, and ‘certain’ reason to commit crime, thus leads to make people questions (and debate) his justice?

(I’m an idiot to not know this, lol).

Akane care for him. I know the official denied romance between them, but she clearly care for him. She doesn’t want him to work like a bloodthirst hound, and value his life. At the same time I can also see what writers planning to do with him since Desmond Rutaganda address him in PP movie. 

I also notice they cut down their screen time together, even some scene that usually involve in face zooming, now they don’t. They could make their reunion so much more friendly, but they choose not to. (My guess is because they’re main characters, they can’t become lovers, that could potentially mislead the genre.) Honestly, this is so sad. If they can’t make them canon, why bother making such a great dynamic between them. Male and female can’t be friends, if you ask me. It’s too late for sudden change between them.

It’s a shame because I miss them being a partner again. Fight side by side.

Anyway, probably the only person who support her deeds is just Kougami. Regarding the convo these 2 have after he shot Tonami will address later.

2. Ginoza and Akane

Ginoza intention to become shield for her is honestly so pure. His reasoning sounds like personal feelings rather than fulfilling his duty as enforcer. Other than that, I’m more curious about his feelings after the incident. From what I see through his frustrated face and kind of ‘resentment’ face in PP3, my guess he’s somewhat angry to her for sacrifice her life (and angry at himself). I wonder what kind of face he’d make if he knew Kougami inspired her (lol, rip Kougami.)

3. Kougami and Frederica

Not so much thought, beside Kougami actually look angry at her when he lied to the team and professor. Though only angry for a second, he quickly being professional again when Akane mad at Frederica. (and look at Akane face, she’s shock and somewhat feel distance because her ex-enforcer standing up to his new boss.) Poor choice of words, Kougami.

My thoughts and issues will have another post.

[whatsyourcolor]

Personally I don’t feel like Akane will be lonely anymore after PPFI.She has a good support system in place.She’s Mika’s aide,who despite their differences has Akane’s best interest as heart.Arata,Kei,Hinakawa are good people.While Shizuka’s motives are unknown I do believe he’s not a bad guy.Akane had the power and influence to plant inspectors in Div 1 so that should tell you something.Sybil still likes her and regards her highly.Maybe she will be a behind the scene force and her role won’t be as public as before but yeah like I said things don’t look bad for her anymore.Despite her career suicide I think PPFI ends in a hopeful note for her.The law was still likely abolished but I have faith she’ll be in a position to reform the system.I don’t share the same optimism for Kougami.Don’t get me wrong FA is cool as hell.But they most certainly recruited Kougami for his capacity for violence.Idk what his objective of returning to Japan is.Here’s the thing Shiotani said something that stayed with me.“Tonami is a decayed Kougami and disillusioned Akane.Tonami is what Kougami becomes without his stopper(Akane)to stop him”So after Saiga we get our second warning what might become of Kougami if he keeps doing what he’s doing.(He’s doing what only supposedly only he can do,that is beating people to a pulp.Gino literally fought Kei to save him from Kougami because kougami would permanently disable him.Like fuck this guy).He’s a SAD employee.It’s not under Akane’s jurisdiction to stop him from killing.Imo?His role ended after SS3.What is he supposed to do now?Sure he hates the system but what can he do about it?Nothing.So he’ll probably be reduced to background cast who pops up occasionally for fanservice.Despite my despair about the ship I am hopeful about the way things ended for Akane.Kougami is a total lost cause to me.Both in terms of charecter and future development.Because Akane’s development happened over years and 1 season and 2 movies.Kougami is stuck.And in the new installlment the legacy cast will take over again so there’s almost no room for his development anymore.Like I said I have faith in Akane and the team seems to have good plan for her(unlike Kougami)

Holy crap! You and I are writing a dissertation on Psycho-Pass here on Tumblr. I don't know! I think Akane is pretty lonely in her point of view, in her life, in her heart of hearts. She's not a criminal, but she doesn't support the system. She's in a position where she will seem crazy to most people (the detective that went mad) and the only person who could probably understand her was probably Saiga and now he's gone.

About Kogami...yes, you're right. It's like he learns the lesson and forgets it the next day. He's the milkshake that brings all the boys to the yard with guns, shooting, killing and violence. They won't develop him beyond that because they don't want to touch his bad boy image, despite him not being a mindless violent idiot on season 1. He was more strategic and realistic: if you're a detective, you'll have to risk your life.

He had lessons to teach Akane. Now he's just a stubborn mule used and abused as a tool. What was that whole conversation with Hanashiro in SS3? What did he learn? My boy is so lost, he needs to get married to Akane and be a househusband. His future right now is so bleak and depressing. What happens when his body gives out? They'll send him to be an enforcer again? He's been shot, stabbed, spat at, punched, scratched and bitten. He can only last so long with that crazy lifestyle.

Even if he's a pessimist, Akane had given him a reason to be a detective since S1: protect people. What's his purpose for living now? He doesn't have revenge or justice or love. He didn't gain any wisdom and he went through so much pain for nothing. I hope at least he has Gino as a friend and he can get some support through him.

Psycho Pass Season 4: Kougami dies of lung cancer

[mmmixxa]

[tinyfiramonglarches]

some interesting topics of PP Universe which could be filmed or created a miniseries

Masaoka´s past - I really want to know something more about Masaoka-san. His beginnings in a police career, how he met his future wife and maybe his fall and how he became enforcer. How he got his revolver which is soo important for fate of many characters. There is no need for revolutionary ideas in plot. Just set it with noir vibes, in Cowboy Bebop or Trigun style. Just I am kinda sorry that Masaoka´s voice actor is already passed :(

Kougami´s childhood - I am kinda curious of Kougami´s early life. In SS3 movie was mentoined that the relationship with his mother is kinda complicated. I really want to know why. Plus, Kougami´s father never was mentioned. And there is no information about him. So, it could be interesting to see if Kougami´s childhood was traumatic and if he felt alone and if he carried the consequences from his past into his adulthood

The Specimen case - d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y, I know the novel already exists but, I assume I am not only one who want to see the investigation of horrible murders and maybe some scenes from Sasayma dying.... We are Psycho-pass fans, we can handle some blood on the screen. Just add 18+rank, that´s it!

Story out of Police Department - we already watched a lot big and small stories about crimes, investigations, the fates of members of all possible security forces in this new Japan (sometimes out of Japan). That´s absolute extreme edge of society. Maybe it would be nice to show us daily life of ordinary people. One day with ordinary family. Teachers in kindergarden and propaganda of Sybil for the little ones. Daily routine in office, hospital, public library (censhorship of books) I believe that´s a big potential in PP Universe.

Investigation in the countryside - Imagine that Foreign Affairs Operations Department and Division One join forces in some case in the countryside. Scenes in onsen. Sheep/cows in the middle of the road. Some Shinkane moments with fireflies at night. Mika stinged by mosquito...

Training process of new inspectors - I dunno what to say. Just curious of this process of training of elite of new world

Tsunemori´s relationship with her grandma - I am curious why Akane is (used to be) "Grandma little girl", why they connection was so strong. And maybe it might be related that Akane can't (couldn't) swim. Maybe some childhood trauma connected with water.

And from other many many ideas...

University life in the end 21st and the beginning of 22nd century- In PP1 was mentioned that universities were cancelled for dangerous ideas. Maybe I want to see the beginning of the end of universities in Japan. Students ordinary life, academy policy of these days and maybe Saiga-sensei in action. What I really don´t need to know is Kagari and Makishima flashbacks - because... why? Everything important about them was already shown. It´s a point of the well written plot- just important things for the story were written. Their stories has come to their end. In this post I didn´t write anything like "we want see shinkane happy ending, or origin of new characters of PP3" because I believe it will be mentioned somehow in next series or movies. I just want to mentioned some complex suggestions.

Beyond love and hate

Release from Friday, March 8, 2019

 Summary:

"Can you become my teacher?"

After the case occurred in 2116 in the Southeast Asian Union, the SEAUn, Kougami Shinya kept on wandering.

In a small country in South Asia, Kougami rescues a bus carrying refugees that was being attacked by armed guerrillas.

Among them, there is a girl named Tenzing.

Tenzing begs Kougami to teach her how to fight to take a revenge.

What is the aspect of this place that a girl who seeks for revenge and a man who could accomplish his revenge can see, at the margin of a world without a way out…?

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.

Shinkane/Fredegami Analysis

[Disclaimer: The views & opinions expressed on this post does not necessarily reflect the PPC's character represention]. 🤗

Now let's delve into...

Shinkane

Season 1 shows us the obvious reasons that lead us to think any romantic possibilities of Shinya x Akane. As mentioned in my previous post From Shinkane to ShizuAka.

And the release of 劇場版 PSYCHO-PASSサイコパス fueled our interest even more. 😍❤️‍🔥

Fredegami

It all started in this scene from Psycho Pass: Sinners of the System 3.

Where Frederica openly flirts with Kogami (as described in the novels) and expresses her interest about him. Kogami was indeed mesmerized by this beauty.

The Comparison:

As hurtful as it may sound. Shinkane is one-sided. Let's face it and be honest.

The showcase of Shinya x Frederica is intentional for Psycho-Pass Providence movie.

The Story Debunked:

After the events of 1st Movie. Kogami seemed to step away further from Akane & the whole Div. 1 as advised by Ginoza.

The latter did that for the sake of Akane, seeing how Kou's influence affected her deeply. And as he explained further in the boat scene from PPP. He wants to prevent Akane from being a latent criminal which Kou fell into.

Kogami met Frede in Tibet-Himalaya Kingdom, after she cases for him (probably after the events of SS3 where she was first introduced). Akane might have initiated it to help bring back Kogami since she wasn't successful in SEAUn.

Kou begins to ease-up (not necessarily open up) with Frede seeing how dedicated she is to her work in MoFA and how she is a potential good leader judging by how she work as girl boss.

In PPP, Kou still care for Akane but it's obvious he starts to give Frederica a chance. Thinking about how she was used by Yabuki to intentionally lie (Saiga's ultimate downfall).

In Kogami's head, Frederica is amazingly tough but also a soft woman from the inside. Which is why he sided with her after Yabuki's death.

Being with her in the dark room, tagging her along the rescue mission. Wearing the same coat. Plus and the most striking, is the fact that he let Frederica say out loud "ME AND KOGAMI WILL JOIN AKANE TSUNEMORI"

Also, [I believe] the events of PP3 Manga; (the Hotpot, & the Gun sparring) happened before Akane's release and the events of Psycho Pass 3 and before Azusawa-kun introduction and the BiFrost. Which shows a somewhat sweet interaction between the two.

But the events of FI happened, and Kou realized that Frede isn't as fragile as he thinks she is.

So he somehow wants to mend his connection with Akane by picking her up from the Tokorozawa Correction Center.

The Ship Analysis

Kogami & Frederica might've feel some spark after the events of SS3.

They might've gave it a try which leads to their closeness in PPP movie and Few chapters from PP3 Manga (which again I believe happened before the BiFrost narrative).

But during and amidst the BiFrost incident, Kogami might've realized Frederica is similar to his ideals. Accepting bribe for the sake of Justice.

Note: There's one thing that the online translator failed to translate which not all fans (who upload their copy of the manga/novel) easily realized. It is about the tone.

In the Season 3, after Kou beat the heck up from Kei, he received the instructions from Frede to let Azusawa-kun escape to which he obliges BUT with a tired (and almost fed-up) tone.

So eventually they slowly and silently fell apart. And intend not to pursue any chances of relational progress. They've kept their professional closeness but slip through any possibility of building a solid chemistry.

Therefore, Kogami gradually re-establish his Season 1 connection with Akane. By showing up in a car and let her decide where to eat just like the old times.

Because deep inside, Kogami longs to have a solid source of affection eventhough he can't explicitly admit it to himself. That's one thing Frederica called him off during their conversation about the Cigarette puff (where it conveys too much love or less affection received from childhood).

At one point, he might've think that Frede was the one. Same age, badass beauty but soft and tender inside. I think that's the type woman Kou likes. But he finally realized Frede is a well-established woman who doesn't need his protection.

P.S

The views/opinions expressed on this post are based from what I read from the Manga/Novel and anime SS3/FI/PPP source materials. With the characters's perspective in mind. You may take it with a grain of salt to which you are very much welcome 😉.

All in all, let's just wait for Season 4 shall we? 💕🥰😊🤗 It might have more revelations.

[psychopasss4]

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.

You know I never say anything because people will call me a hater but the inclusion of Frederica is so bizarre to me.I have been saying for years that I’d like Akane’s design to be a little mature and her to be a part of field action?Lo and behold Frederica’s grand entrance in SS3.Not only does she have the greatest design among the female cast,she is an experienced fighter who can fight in red stilettos,a great sniper who handles a Barrett m95 like no one’s business.She also has a background in psychology and profiling(but she mostly used Saiga’s class to obsess over Kougami lol).It’s like the writers took everything I wanted for Akane and gave it to her.Also she got fanservice scenes with both Kougami and Ginoza eg the water bottle scene with Kougami in ss3 and the providence explosion scene with Ginoza.Also lots of shots of Frederica in ss3 where you can see her naked,taking a bath,or wearing pretty lacy underwear so I guess fanservice is okay if it’s Frederica?A lot of shippers pretend Kougami barely tolerates her but from what I see Kougami gets along so well with her(can’t blame him because obviously she’s sweet and pretty and flirty and also a great boss,things Akane was never allowed to be)and the horrible part is I can actually see them being a good couple.Even Ginoza was smitten enough to arrange a cafe for her when she’s stressed and he thinks she’s so cool that she’s the female Kougami?Wow.Is this about to be a love triangle?!!!But if I point these out obviously I’ll be called jealous and hateful.But this is what I have wanted for Akane for years now.I feel sad and disappointed and I can’t even talk about it.

~So sorry for the late reply, Anon. 😔 I've been hardly checking my inbox. And just catching up to post PP logs.

Anyways, as a fan's PoV, when Sinners of the System first came up, I remember Dir. Shiotani wants to intentionally introduce new characters who would play a major role. And when the fans pointed "Akane's lack of screen time" since SSS trilogy upto S3/FI, he said he purposefully wants to feature other characters as protagonist.

I would say Frederica is not a coincidence nor a side character. Once the PPP novel and Season 4 is out, I would expound on that one. For the meantime, I will patiently wait in silence 😅.

I don't consider her as a love triangle for KoAka (a.k.a. Shinkane) because Kogami x Akane is not a thing. As confirmed by everybody in Psycho-Pass Production Committee even the Seiyuus themselves (*Coughs* Seki-san 😷).

I leave it to my fellow fans' "profiling" and/or "deduction" abilities. But I think most of us have that gut-feeling already. But again, it's too early to say something and I can't speak on behalf of the PPC.

During the promotionals, I made some ノイズログ which expresses my personal opinion as a fan in this Tumblr Space. Because I don't want fans to feel betrayed. And at the same time, I can't stand the growing "misdirection" of some KoAka fans (Japanese Shinya x Akane fans) which they twist some points of the story. It seems like they only watch PSYCHO-PASS for Shinya x Akane only, instead of enjoying the overall plot.

For now, it is what it is until the official novel and potential Season 4 is released.

Meanwhile, I enjoy and cherish the interactions of Shinya x Akane as they are portrayed in the anime.

For the writer's and production crew, I understand about the marketing strategy but I think they should be sensitive on how the fanbase will perceive things before they start "selling out" those merch 🤭 P.S. no pun intended. [i.e selling KoAka merch while low-key supporting Fredegami 😅]

I don't have beef with the J-KoAka's, because there's no wrong in betting on our fave ship. But we should be open to all kinds of Interpretation the Production Committee is trying to convey.

Let's just wait for the next Season. And no matter how it turns out, Shinkane/KoAka fanbase will always remain as solid as ever 💖!!!

WE FANDOM ARE THE UNSINKABLE SHIP❣️

It's obscure in that the system was initially portrayed to be inflexible, but now allows all sorts of exceptions. We see that evolution in S3, though it's never thoroughly explained. Since Sibyl is utilitarian, I'm not surprised at them using Kogami. They have used him before as an enforcer. I'm surprised at them allowing him to live since, after killing Makishima, his Psycho-Pass is probably over 300. This is not something that Sybil has steered from, since in SEAUN people's collars had the same criteria and would kill on the spot anyone whose PP went above 300. So there had to be some sort of arrangement or determination that Kogami is exceptional and valuable for Sibyl. Maybe Sibyl is interested in Kogami as a potential member? That would be interesting. Or maybe it has to do with Sybil's expansion plans and how they're going to take over the world?

I'm just trying to understand these choices from the world the series itself has created. Or explain them somehow. I know Sibyl didn't bring him back to toy with Akane; I'm saying I wish they had brought him back to toy with Akane. But I don't think Akane is in a unique place anymore that the system would be so interested in her.

As for Kogami not compromising his views of justice...then what was the whole preaching in Providence from Saiga and Akane about Ko being more than a tool? Kogami is compromising his idea of justice by being a killing tool for MOFA. He ended up in the same place where he started, following orders for the system without much freedom to choose. Maybe he decided --after his convo with Frederica-- that the compromise was worth it if he got to be close to those he cared about. Who knows?

For me, there's not enough there between Frederica and Kogami to ship them. Just because they're both hot and like action is not enough for me to be interested in the ship. The conversation with Frederica and Kogami in SS3 was very similar to the conversation that Akane had with him in the PP Movie. In the novel, Akane even talks about his mother. It's interesting they brought that back for the movie with a very traditionally attractive woman in a domestic dynamic (that part I loved though, and I think it was a theme of SS, these men thinking about families).

Frederica is competent, but they have not been able to write the SAD in a way where they aren't always making stupid mistakes (both in S3 and Providence). I don't blame the character for that, though. I blame the writers and their need to be so plot focused. I didn't mean to make it seem like I hate Frederica or Kogami. I don't. Frederica is cool, beautiful and she works with Kogami. For me at least, it doesn't go beyond that.

Here’s the thing I don’t think Akane got replaced as the good boss Kougami could work for.The timing was right when Kougami got scouted by Frederica(which I don’t think Frederica did alone because she’s also a special investigator.Same rank as Kougami..She probably was interested since Saiga’s lessons sure but she needed approval from way higher ups in foreign ministry).Nobody in MWPSB had the power to bring back someone in sibyl’s kill list.Moreover they only need obedient enforcers.Not someone like Kougami.MoFA needed his unique skill set and gave him a good deal(I suspect he wanted to come back too).He took it.That’s pretty much all there is to it.Also Frederica is very loyal to Shogo Yabuki(I assume she got promoted to occupy this post after ppp?)MoFA means a lot to her(like unit 1 of MWPSB does to Akane).She is also very competent.Kougami,Gino and Sugo seem to have good workplace dynamic with her.(also I can tell they like her as both a boss and a person from their interactions in the pp3)Here’s the thing I think Gino saying “Our chief is so cool.Just like a female kougami”is more like Gino fanboying over her because he thinks she’s very cool?That doesn’t mean their romantic compatibility.More like they are both cool people(they are obviously) and have similar interests..They also have mutual respect going by ppp and pp3.(I do think Frederica understands Kougami’s predicament at least to a degree).Now I am not saying they can’t be a good ship,they definitely can but so far there’s nothing to suggest it’s romantic?As far as canon goes she’s competent(like Akane and Mika),loyal to MoFA and a good boss.And we should leave it at that.(Personal opinion she’s just so beautiful she doesn’t even look human😛It’s so hard to get past her beauty because why does she have to be so pretty for? She’s already competent🥲)

Yeah, I hope you didn't think I was bashing on Frederica. I'm just not that curious about her. She's good at her job and she's not a jerk. She's competent and beautiful, but that doesn't pull me emotionally to her or makes her as good a character as the holy trio.

Kogami is cool and hot and handsome, but he has an irreparable flaw that he sees and is unable to fix himself. Ginoza has remorse, regret, nostalgia for his father and he's lonely. Akane fights with the system and has paid with blood for opposing it when she could just sell out. All these people have things moving them from inside in all directions. There's doubt, introspection, internal struggle, bad decisions, trust put in the wrong people, pain. They tried their best with what they had and they fail. Kogami failed to feel like he avenged Sasayama and is hounded by the ghost of the man he killed. Akane failed to protect Kogami. Gino failed to tell those he cares about that he loves them until is too late.

Heck, even Mika is more interesting to me. Imagine knowing your friends got killed by a psycho and the killer got away. You'd be pissed at hell too at the incompetence of the police and you'd think you will change things from inside only to end up messing up and causing a terrible tragedy. You become the thing you hate. It's beautiful.

As for the Hanagami ship...(yeah, I just named it like that lol)... I don't know. I don't really see it. Maybe a fic would get me into it? I don't know.
