Personally I like Makishima more after this episode too. I mean I loved him as the charming "philosopher" villain but I almost felt he came off too perfect & I was starting to get bored of him always being two steps ahead of everyone, except Kou.
The fact that he could let his guard down and forget about Akane (or not even think her as important) because he was so focused on the thrill of facing Kougami made him a more realistic villain for me.
The fact that he got bopped on the head doesn't take away anything from Makishima's charm & intelligence for me. It just makes Akane all the more cooler that she was able to take him down. Sure it was simple, maybe it didn't seem worthy enough for some people. But sometimes simple is the best way to get the job done.
Anyways Makishima's character was not assassinated at all for me, even though Akane & Kagari were certainly the stars of this episode.
