Well...I don't think that can be true. Makishima is almost certainly trying to bring the Sybil system down by destroying the food system of Japan. If it works, it's a good choice of plan for him, and it represents both a huge danger to Sybil and to Japan as a whole. Heck, one main reason that people are criticising Sybil and calling them idiotic is because they let someone as dangerous to them as Makishima walk free. OK, he was defeated once before, but at that time, the Akane vs Makishima conflict was resolved, at least for now. The conflict with Kougami remains, because Kougami was defeated on that occasion.
We'll be facing at least two further conflicts: Kougami vs Makishima, and Akane vs Kougami. It's foreshadowed pretty clearly in the OP and in things like Kougami's letter. Akane will surely have to make and pass some sort of judgement on Kougami, whether for better or for worse.
