#psycho pass

he’s arrogant and often incorrect in his assumptions. he convinced himself that only he could deal with makishima but in reality that was never true. he wanted revenge and he destroyed himself, ginoza, and nearly akane in the process. in reality, makishima would have been dealt with. he would have been nonconsensually assimilated, locked in isolation or akane would have actually managed to bring back the justice system to put that freak on trial. no matter what, kou’s solution was unnecessary. even accounting for the fact that he has no clue what Sibyl is, Akane told him her plans to deal with the guy and the idea that Kou alone could have handled him is just deeply arrogant thinking.

if he were truly strict with himself he would have curbed his own selfish impulses. if he were truly gentle with others he would have considered how his actions affected the people he cared about and who cared for him. to me, his appeal lies in his hypocrisy. he IS a good man in that he’s compassionate at his core, he genuinely wants to protect others, but he repeatedly fucks up his own life and he’s awful to everyone who loves him inadvertently. it’s very human. i like that a lot.

Kogami wishes he didn't care for them the way that he did.

He is too cynical. Seen too much of the bad in the world. But....he can't help it.

Like a moth to a flame Kogami is drawn in by their light and can't look away. His selfishness just further clouding his hue.

Ginoza honestly can't stand it at first. Blind positivity.

It's like they are willfully ignorant to the problems & wrongs in the world. That, despite the order the System brings, it has it's problems. Problems they have to clean up.

Inevitably, however, they worm their way in and Ginoza becomes oddly fond of their bright outlook. Hyper-sensitive to when their mood changes to something less sunny, and missing it.

Sugo is truly smitten with it, and wishes he could have that bright outlook on life again.

He likes to think of himself as positive, but's not like how he was. Just a genuine optimism that they have now.
