YAWN! It is time for bed and this post keeps saying there is a broken piece of code. I don't know code! I have my little thingy that I put the pictures in and that is it. Gosh making me read and do work before I go to bed. I got things to do tomorrow post!!!
Hopefully this gets posted soon cause I am tired. XD Up now is Psycho-Pass episode 10. Spoilers for Shinya getting in trouble because of Akane. Again.
So sleepy!!!!
Episode Summary: Akane is trying to sleep because that is what most people seem to do when it is dark outside. In very fast print that flies across the screen Akane gets a text from her friend Yuki (because everyone in Japan is named Yuki okay) saying she needs her help and to meet her in a shady place tomorrow afternoon. Given that Akane has known Shinya for 5 seconds and she is incapable of doing anything on her own Akane drags Shinya along. Akane has done the basics though and has discovered Yuki has been missing from her home and isn't at her parents house. Shinya doesn't seem too upset about doing this wild goose chase on his day off but warns that Ginoza can't find out. They arrive at the ghetto and Shinya is like.....so yeah this is totally a trap. Shinya tells Akane to stay in the car before she accidentally kills herself and asks her to issue him a weapon. He tells her to track his moves and to call for back-up when eventually goes horrible. Shinya makes his way down into what looks like an old subway system while Akane tries to tell him where to go. Things are going less than horrible when Akane can't reach Shinya on the communicators anymore. Shinya hears brief static but Akane comes back online and tells him to keep going. Outside Akane watches as Shinya goes off the map and into what looks like a wall to her. Shinya makes his way to some old subway cars and suddenly everything is sealed off and filled with nasty water. Shinya is forced to get on a subway or he would have been smushed. Inside he finds Yuki in her underwear and no details on what happened to her. Shinya realizes that the voice over the intercom was just a hacked version of Akane's voice and the trap wasn't meant for Akane, it was meant for him. The train stops and they are forced to flee as a robot dog starts chasing after them. It is revealed that Shougo has set this trap for Shinya to be hunted by the crazy robot man Senguji . Shinya finds a bag of those Halloween glow stick things and he uses them to try to navigate around the traps that have been set for them. All the while Senguji is shooting at them and generally being a freak. Shougo watches from the sidelines amused. Yuki asks if this is how dangerous Akane's job really is and how she has been a special girl who does the right thing ever since school. Special Akane has contacted the rest of the team and Akane is basically told she is dumb for relying on maps that are over 60 years old.
Um I am trying to protect us here. Can you please keep the small talk to a minimum?
While everyone else is assuming that Shinya has been kidnapped Ginoza has decided that Shinya has run away and set this whole thing up to trick Akane. They try to track down Shinya based on Akane thinking he took a train and make it close to where they think Shinya is. Ginoza says that Shinya will be shot with a Dominator and if he was trying to escape he will be blown away. Akane states that they just can't kill him and Ginoza was friends with Shinya at once so have a heart. Ginoza insists if Shinya is killed it will be Akane's fault. Tomomi has decided he has had enough of that and manhandles Ginoza a bit. Inside Shinya is trying his hardest to outrun two dogs and a guy with a gun. Yuki isn't making things any easier with her “helping” by grabbing another bag. Shinya realizes that the person who set this trap wants him to win or have a chance at winning when he finds in Yuki's back part of a transmitter. Senguji notices that Shougo has helped Shinya and asks who he wants to win. Shougo says that he is just making it more interesting and giving Senguji what he really wants, to be alive with the hunt. Despite being knocked down a pug Senguji continues on. Shinya manages to take out one of the dogs but Yuki gets more and more upset, saying she is holding Shinya back and he could probably make it without her. Shinya realizes that he is being tested and there has to be a reason that Yuki was left on the train despite the bait part being over. Shinya has Yuki undress and it is revealed the last piece of the transmitter he needs was in her clothes. Shinya was supposed to protect and keep Yuki alive. With a piece from the down dog and the bra Shinya fixes the transmitter and calls for help. Akane basically does the TOLD YOU SO dance and everyone rushes in to find Shinya and Yuki. THE END!
That took you a long time to figure out. XD
Can Akane do ANYTHING right? Anything at all? Is the Sybil system trying to destroy itself and that is why it picked Akane to be apart of the force? BECAUSE REALLY PEOPLE! Is Shinya that desperate for a girlfriend? For real folks.
And this couldn't wait til morning why?
While it was hard to read the tiny text flying across my screen at the speed of fast....Akane should have known that something fishy was up. I mean....I stay up late but if someone texted me that late at night something better be important. And if its important enough to text me now I am going to SEE you now. Not 12 hours later. So the fact that the message said lets talk about it later...weird. Why not text during normal awake hours? That or you got a hater friend.
So is this like a date?!?!?!
I guess we should give Akane a sliver of credit. She didn't go alone. Maybe that is why she accepted the 3pm meet up time as she didn't want to wake Shinya. On his day “off'”. Good to know that these latent criminals have days off. Is anyone surprised that Shinya is the one Akane asked though? Tomomi we see a great deal because he is busy yelling at his son a lot. What about the other two? Is this show going to have two seasons or are they just going to be forgotten in the background?
You are too dumb to live.
I like how Shinya was like....yep this is a trap but proceeded to help out Akane anyway. Probably because Yuki had been out of reach and Akane probably would have gone in on alone because that is how she rolls. Not that Shinya should die for a wild goose chase but Akane has no real experience and Shinya had a better chance of thinking on his feet.
XO Surely this cannot be Japan. They don't have the space to let things rot way.
Maybe I haven't been paying attention close enough but I thought the whole this subway line hasn't been used in 60 years was very telling how far in the future this show is taking place in. Not that the current criminal system is that old (15-20) years but that means it is WAY in the future. Perhaps other things had happened in this society which made the system seem like a good idea. I am not seeing how it is a good idea but if there was increased crime and craziness I can see how people might be desperate for help.
Um shouldn't she sound worried for you?
Shinya was a bit special when he got tricked by Akane's fake voice. You couldn't hear her at all and suddenly it was crystal clear and she wasn't really answering your questions? Just giving you instructions? Weird. At least he didn't drown in sewer water though.
There are no glow sticks in the future?! HORRIBLE!
I was surprised that Shinya found Yuki alive. But I guess people have be tortured first and it wouldn't have been as interesting if Shinya just had to protect himself. Like oh the girl is dead let me instantly transport myself to safety since I am the most awesome person that has ever lived. I did think it took Shinya way too many seconds to realize he was the target though. X___X What is up with that, having him think and all?
Well aren't you a bright one?
Senguji had a bit of a special moment himself did he not? He was warned that Shougo just sees everyone as amusement pieces and once he gets bored of them they go quietly into that night, often in pieces. So why did Senguji think he was immune from this? What if Senguji words of living forever and keeping enjoyment in your life touched Shougo and Shougo thought this was giving Senguji what he really wanted? Like oh I thought this is what you asked for, more interesting prey? It is hard to tell if Senguji was really upset at this new twist in the game or if he smirked to himself as the game did just getting interesting.
Acceptable amount of doubt.
I thought Yuki held up pretty good given the circumstances. I don't know if I would have started talking about Akane during that time as I would be in mortal danger and maybe Akane's work/boy troubles would not be on my mind. But she kept it together well and even acknowledged that Shinya should leave her behind as he would have a better shot without her. Good thing he didn't as Shougo is testing him too but she did a fairly decent job of keeping it together and losing her mind. Good thing Shinya was getting tested though or Yuki would have been toast.
Such faith in people......
I think that Akane called for help 5 seconds after Shinya went missing. Which is funny since Ginoza accused Shinya of running away 5 seconds after arriving. Ginoza is pretty amazing at assuming the worst about everyone. Wouldn't that mean headquarters has weak security if he was able to plan all this to trick Akane? Good job Ginoza for not being blinded by one thing.
Can't everything else just be her fault instead?
As much as Akane disrespected Ginoza last week I don't think she really deserved what he said about Shinya getting blasted away. Yes she does need to think ahead and not rush into things but if Shinya did plan this and got killed in the process it would be on Shinya, not Akane. I know he wants her to take responsibility for other things but maybe he went too far on that one. Either way it may have served as a wake up call for Akane so maybe it wasn't all for nothing.
And then you were fired.
I can't believe Tomomi was able to treat Ginoza like that and keep all his fingers. X___X I mean clearly he is the father but Ginoza doesn't like being disrespected and that was out of line. There is a line between the Inspectors and the latent criminals and that was crossed and thrown far away. Even if Tomomi was right he can't just run around doing that, especially if Ginoza is talking about blowing Shinya away. You think you are safe from Ginoza's anger?
And he said it in the most unsexiest way ever too.
In the end Tomomi and Akane are safe because look they see and hear Shinya. The episode ends with a rescue attempt in progress. Given how special this show has been (IE no happy endings for anyone) I think that Yuki will die right in front of Akane. Maybe even because of something Akane does. Now will that make Akane a latent criminal? Probably not but it might push Shinya even more over the end and have more a reason to go after Shougo. See, fun for everyone!

I think Tomomi and other did not come w/ Akane because it was not their day "off".
Quote from RandomeC:
>The last two psychopathic murders who received Makishima’s aid and became close to being caught by the police have one way or another found themselves in situations where they fear for their lives – and their true nature is revealed. Faced with imminent death, Midou, the “Tomato Smoothie”, revealed his true self and took solace in his avatars. Our Ladykiller, Ouryou, met a similar fate as well. She was a complex character whose ideologies about the role of females in society appeared to be the primary motivation behind her gruesome kills, but in the final minutes of her life as she lay trapped and bleeding, she pulled out her phone and tried to call none other than her already deceased father. This was her true nature, and once again, Makishima looked on from high above, detached from the scene.<
I guess Makishima really looking forward how this "cat and mouse" game will play out, and may be he will get what he is looking for.
Hello @Christina
Just watched this episode.
I really want to know if Tomomi is Ginoza's father. I know they have different last names but it could be either the son or father changing his last name to prevent further shame on the family and taking the maiden name instead. You're definitely right, Christina, in the way both of them act: it was more like a strained father-son relationship. I mean, in the previous episode (9), Tomomi defended Ginoza's cold demeanor by revealing his hardship to Akane and in this episode, he "reprimanded" Ginoza the way a father would reprimand a son for being harsh to Akane. So, are they related somehow? Ginoza didn't fire or file a disciplinary action immediately against Tomomi for that incident, so I'm guessing there's some family connection between the two. Maybe.
Honestly, I was shocked at that scene! :0 Obviously the chain of command has been breached between enforcers and inspectors, and in any other high profile job (especially the police, CIA, FBI, or military) Tomomi would have been disciplined severely for that action. So, I guess he's very fortunate that Ginoza is his son (maybe. I think) and not in line at the government office for food stamps!
On the positive and funny side, I like how the writers incorporated the fanservice as a crucial plot device. Gives the audience an excuse to witness fanservice and storytelling at the same time! XD Bravo, I say. Bravo! LOL
That's all on Psycho Pass.
Anonymous- I am amused that people who are prisoners and forced to work for the government have days off. XD Okay maybe that isn't so funny.....
It is kinda creepy that despite Shougo not actually raising the trigger he is worse than the criminals he "helps". Like yes they are killing people and are warped but he sits there and sprouts random lines from plays and such and watches them die. Like oh my toy broke time to find a new one. A higher level of evil that cannot be described in words properly.
Anonymous 2- I think they are father and son. In another episode the head lady at the office was talking about how she hopes that being criminal isn't hereditary. Now it could be anyone but all the things you listed plus others are really pushing towards this being a giant reveal. It would also explain why Ginoza is so pissed off all the time.
But even if they are father and son Ginoza still should have dropped Dear Old Dad for how he acted in front of the others. Thems the rules Pops and you acting like that (even though Pops was right) isn't going to look good on anyone's report. Not sure when this reveal is going to happen though. X___X
