Urobuchi Gen equates serial murder and beauty so often in his fiction that it’s impossible for me to believe that he doesn't see a sort of beauty in horrible violence himself – at the very least, he’s fascinated by the way it tempts humanity with its siren song, and about what makes most of us able to resist the urge while others cannot.

Now going back to this show, the enforcers won't have to deal with our conventional court system because they are pretty much wielding powers like those judges in the movie Judge Dread. As long as the gun picks up certain level of reading, it will determine the level of force required to deal with such individual. And that brings to my next query... will he even register certain level required for any kind of enforcement? We don't even know if there were such precedents in the Sibyl System and if there were, how those type of individual were dealt with? Quote:

I consider it a fascination with control. A fascination of the control over life and death. The ability to take someone's life at a whim, and being given suddenly the intoxicating power to do just that and executing it immediately.
The freedom to do what you want, whether it's a career or a base bloodlusting desire. That's what I see here and in a lot of Urobucher's villains, main or otherwise, as they explore that "high" of no longer being merely a human constrained in your own mortality, but also being able to control the mortality of others. Exercising that desire to go beyond being "merely human." It's sort of probably Urobucher's sordid take on the Ubermensch. My take on Makishima's intentions is not merely a delight in empowering the criminal insane. Rather, he wants to observe the actions people will take in a society that is extremely controlled and limitedly empowered by an all encompassing system. That is to say, I think is intention is to itself "study" what amounts to a very Rosseau-an "man in the state of nature", where before the social contract of the Sibyl System is in place man is allowed and empowered to choose anything and everything he wants without limit or control. He "empowers" these people who are forced to suppress their desires to act out. Edit - I think I'll post a longer version of this in the philosophy thread.

A regular hue check probably wouldn't be able to detect anything wrong with him, but an examination by the Sibyl system through the denominator would (same scenario as episode 3). It seems to me that the crime coefficient takes more into account than intent to kill or depression, the subject's entire psyche is examined. If a person has any kind of abnormal thoughts, it will be detected. Makishima is definitely not normal.

In the current case we got at least 2 victim already...and I really hope they are smart enough to capture her alive before she most possibly...since her favorite character Lavinia...commit suicide by making herself into statue herself or being shot by dominator

Well, let's see the situation without Sibyl: A girl is frustrated that her real dad left them in some much debt that they depend on a 'benefactor'. The 'benefactor' is obviously a pedophile (making his "presence" in her room), but she cannot accuse him or cut him out because he is solving their money issues. She starts feeling cornered, and as a act of desperation goes and kills him. Explain how there's a 'win' scenario in the situations with or without Sibyl? Unfortunately, Sibyl cuts the last step so I guess you can say the fact she kills him is a bigger win, so it takes a crime to dish out justice...? |

How about we imagine this:
What if, by some means, Makishim's Psycho Pass parameters suddenly come out as normal? Thus forcing the bureau to find him without Dominators? That would be one hell of a twist.
