YMMV / Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System

• Complete Monster:
  • Crime and Punishment: Kyōka Tsujigai is the director of the rehabilitation facility Sanctuary, renowned for keeping her patients' crime coefficient under 90 and returning them to society. To achieve these results, however, Tsujigai performs inhumane experiments and drugging to brainwash her patients into being subservient to her will; those who resist the effects of her brainwashing experience excruciatingly painful symptoms, culminating in likely death, to uphold the dark secrets of Sanctuary. Tsujigai forces her enslaved workers into performing illegal labor, such as the disposal of radioactive waste, being able to easily write off any casualties due to society's apathy for latent criminals. When cornered by Inspector Mika Shimotsuki, Tsujigai claims to be well-intentioned by giving society's outcasts a place to be, but this is revealed to be a farce when Mika plays a video recording that exposes Tsujigai's sheer contempt for latent criminals, openly expressing their lives are worthless.
  • First Guardian: Colonel Yoshito Takaesu of the National Defense Forces oversees Sibyl's military operations outside of Japan's borders. Growing disillusioned with his losses in manpower and resources to maintain the Sibyl System's image of power, Yoshito harbors a desire to subvert Sibyl's authority and salvage his own reputation. In a collaboration with the Southeast Asian Union, Japan requests a task force to assist in dealing with local military insurgents that threaten the confederation. Yoshito, with a clique of military officers on board with his scheme, rigs the battle to be lost to test run an experimental Weapon of Mass Destruction. Officially deeming the battle lost and declaring land forces MIA, Yoshito proceeds to unleash a chemical agent upon the region, killing his own task force and most of the insurgents. When Itsuki Otomo inexplicably returns from the grave to exact revenge, Takaesu is willing to undertake any means to hide the conspiracy, from the lobotomization of government officials to the assassinations of Inspectors. Although Takaesu claims to have sacrificed much for his country, Enforcer Masaoka rebukes him, expressing that nothing could possibly justify his crimes.
  • On the Other Side of Love and Hate (aka In the Realm Beyond): Jean-Marcel Belmondo is a psychopathic mercenary in service of Guillermo Garcia, a renowned peacekeeper across the war-torn regions of the Southeast Asian Union. In truth, Garcia orchestrates tensions and conflict to extort money from all parties, with Jean handling the dirty work while Garcia acts as a negotiator. A vicious sadist, Jean takes pleasure in killing, with his only reservations being his life at stake for what he perceives isn't enough compensation from Garcia. At one point, Jean even committed genocide, rounding up all the civilians of a decimated village and sadistically toying with their fear before wildly gunning them down with childish glee.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The second Sinner of the System movie shows Aoyanagi having a good working relationship with Sugo. Sadly in Season 2, Sugo unknowningly kills Aoyanagi with an Assault Dominator after her Crime Coefficient increases no thanks to Kamui's manipulation. It makes his mourning to her death more tragic.
• Salvaged Story: The Sinners of the System movies gave more importance and spotlight to the characters who were underutilized in the first two seasons such as Ginoza, Yayoi, Sugo, and Aoyanagi. They even reworked Mika's characterization by making her more compassionate to her coworkers and putting her investigative skills into good use while she's still a true believer in the Sibyl System.
