Again I am not really sure why people are ignoring the title which is an obvious play on the word psychopath.
Urobuchi is portraying a form of psychopathy in the story. Whether it is not a medically sound version of it, fine. But that hardly matters in fiction.

That much is fine, but when the argument comes down to whether he is or isn't, I'm going to have to draw the line. In the first place, it's a term that lacks a fixed definition and it isn't even officially recognized in mainstream psychology. But in this show's case, I find that "psychopath" is just a placeholder term for an individual with sufficiently deviant ideas and values from the rest of the populace.
