History Characters / Psychopass

* PayEvilOntoEvil: [[spoiler:Kills Rikako, but considering how she's almost as horrid as he is, it's hard to feel bad.

* DaddysGirl: Her love of art comes from her father's work. The twisted lengths she'll go to in order to create it, however, are an extremely warped and terrifying extension of this trope. [[spoiler:She even tries to call him when she knows her death is near despite knowing that he's already dead.]]

%%zce* RightHandAttackDog

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenjiNojima (Japanese), Creator/JoshGrelle (English)

* DisabledLoveInterest: To Kei who is trying to get her eyes treated. Eventually, her are treated after an operation before she gets kidnapped by the Heaven's Leap cult.

* BerserkButton:
** When Tenma's stepbrother insults him and his late mother for being latent criminals and tells him to disappear just like her, Kei defends Tenma on his behalf and punches his stepbrother in the face. It got him suspended for a while.
** Maiko getting hurt in any shape or form is a sure-fire way to get on his bad side. Just ask Torii and Arata.
** While he does handle it marginally better than the examples above, anti-immigrant sentiment doesn't really sit well with him. It starts really getting to him in the last few episodes in the season, especially after [[spoiler: Maiko went to the rehabilitation facility and he got framed.]]

* TheStoic: Downplayed. He's mostly levelheaded under duress and doesn't lose his cool that often, but he's more than willing to show emotion in casual settings or when someone really [[BerserkButton pisses him off]].

* BreakTheCutie:

*** ... but the brokenness never really lasts with her.

* {{Foil}}: Set up as Shinya's foil, evident even in their contrasting appearances. Shinya has fairly normal but obviously muscular looks while Makishima is white-haired, thin and with golden eyes. Shinya is a BloodKnight, Makishima prefers to not fight if needed; Shinya wants to improve society but (mostly) follows the laws that the Sibyl System has created, Makishima is an {{Ubermensch}} whose actions are dangerous for society and does not care for the Sibyl System's laws, etc. Even their [[FragileSpeedster fighting]] [[MightyGlacier styles]] are downplayed {{foil}}s.

* MuggingTheMonster: Three thugs in Episode 14 decide Makishima will be easy pickings for them. [[CurbStompBattle They are wrong.]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown VERY wrong.]]

* DaddysGirl: Her love of art comes from her father's work. The twisted lengths she'll go to in order to create it, however, are an extremely warped and terrifying extension of this trope.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Though he did get what he wanted in the end, [[spoiler:it turns out that his "judgment" on the Sibyl System via forcing them to remove their defective brains made them more dangerous, more powerful and more manipulative than before as demonstrated in the movie where they tricked everyone in order to expand their control on SEAUn and possibly, the whole world]].

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He only wants revenge on Masako Togane and the Sibyl System [[spoiler:for stitching him with several organs and body parts of the people who died in that plane crash which the system committed and covered up. He finally got what he wanted by killing Masako and forcing the system to judge itself via eliminating the brains with high Crime Coefficient. What he didn't anticipated is that the system is doing an internal clean-up to remove those brains that contributed to their weaknesses, leaving the real criminally asymptomatic ones (read: the sociopathic ones) in charge. Because of his actions, the system can focus on extending its control outside Japan and possibly the whole world by manipulating everyone including Akane in order to control [=SEAUn=], getting the leader of the region assassinated once he realized what they really are and distracting Akane to chase Kougami which nearly got her killed. Too bad Kamui isn't alive to see what he had done]].

* FallenHero: [[spoiler:She's confined in a facility due to an incident that happened prior to Season 3. By then, she's referred to as an ex-Inspector who killed someone]].

* OnlySaneWoman: Akane seemed be to the only character who remained level-headed and stable throughout the series. In comparison to the other Inspectors who are afraid of getting demoted to latent criminals, cynical of their work or too rigid to follow the Sibyl System, she managed to keep her sanity in check. [[spoiler:She also one of the two living people who knew what the Sibyl System is and how sociopathic they are while the other (Mika) just accepted them for what they are and moved on]].

* TookALevelInCynic: Downplayed, while she retains some of her idealism, she has become more cynical after leaning of the true nature of the Sibyl System.

* WeWillMeetAgain: In the ''After Stories'' radio drama which is set after the events of Episode 22, Akane received an untraceable call from [[spoiler:Shinya, who contacts her for the last time.]] But Akane believes that there would be one day that they could meet again as normal humans instead of Inspector and Enforcer. They did meet again in the movie for only a short time and in the last episode of Season 3.

* HobbesWasRight: They seemed to follow this, according to Touma. They believed that people are prone to commit criminal acts due to high levels of stress which is why they exist to regulate them to bring peace and order. In the movie, [[spoiler:this is their reasoning for intervening the wartorn region of [=SEAUn=] and in fact, TheStinger reveals that their puppet double body of Chairman Han got reelected which further implies that they might be right all along.]]

-->''I feel that this lid starts to come off when I'm holding a Dominator. Because it starts to, my rationality stops it. That rationality is what makes me an Inspector.''

* KilledOffscreen: A screenshot of a series of news articles in Season 3's second episode indicates that Chief Kasei was "killed" sometime before the season started. While [[spoiler: the Kasei body has died before, this one somehow seems to be permanent since Mika reports to a new Bureau director named Hosorobi. However, this seems to be solely for public relations purposes: after the Hosorobi body "kills" itself to avoid being exposed by the Pathfinder mercenary, Sibyl activates another Kasei body to contact Shimotsuki upon locating Bifrost's hideout.]]

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: At the end of the first season, [[spoiler:Shinya must leave Japan or the Sibyl System will find him and execute him for killing Makishima.]] However at the end of ''[[Anime/PsychoPassSinnersOfTheSystem Sinners of the System Case 3 - Beyond Love and Hate]]'', [[spoiler:[[HesBack he plans to go back to Japan]] after accepting Frederica's offer to join her team at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because she believes that he has some unfinished business and people to save]].

Assistant Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Suppressing Action Department and temporary Assistant Inspector of the Ministry of Welfare's Public Security Bureau. She first appears in ''Sinners of the System: Case 2 - First Guardian'' and plays an important role in ''Case 3 - Beyond Love and Hate''.

* FarEastAsianTerrorists: Is this for the second season.

** In Season 3, she trusts that Arata and Kei will the truth by themselves not to rely too much on the Sibyl System. She has absolute faith in Arata [[spoiler:since she knows he's criminally asymptomatic and he has a good moral compass in contrast to the other criminally asymptomatic people such as Makishima and the brains of the Sibyl System]].

** This increased more in the movie after she found out that the Sibyl System [[spoiler:used her to get rid of the defects in the military police and deployed more heinous means (which is staging a foreign intervention and conspiring to have the real Chairman Han assassinated) to control the [=SEAUn=] which Akane regarded as criminal acts.]]
** Her narration at the start of Season 3 seems to show that she shares Kougami's belief about the Sibyl System. While she agrees that the system brought peace and order to Japan, she wonders the cost for it to achieve. [[spoiler:The incident which led her to her confinement in a facility by the Sibyl System may have contributed to her changing belief and her trust in Arata and Kei to continue the pursuit of bringing justice.]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: His last appearance is in the 2015 movie; though it was hinted that he's on the verge of recovery which might explain not appearing in the later materials. Though, he finally makes his return in the ''Providence'' film.
