Open minded Golden Cage

Sometimes mission accomplished. Sometimes mission failed.

[yrkhn]

i am so jealous of herrrrr ohhhhh

[openmindedgoldencage]

I think that any spoiler warnings about the good/bad ending in RE9 are not needed anymore, but I want to make sure. In this post, the way to get the good/bad ending is mentioned. Spoiler alert.

This is not a common fan post about RE.

Maybe I am too sensitive after spending years focusing on topics like feminism, women's health, domestic violence, and inequality in relationships. I simply can't see the world with the same eyes as before.

What pissed me off this time:

There was a video of a couple. The woman was obviously playing RE9 for the first time and probably without any clues about how to get the good or bad ending. It was still kind of possible to avoid spoilers at the end of February, I guess. At least she was aware that Leon could die.

She played together with her boyfriend, who had probably played RE9 before or at least knew which decision led to the bad ending.

At the "Destroy Elpis / Release Elpis" choice, she asked her boyfriend how to save Leon. With all the confidence in the world, he told her to choose the option that leads to the bad ending. When she asked several times, "Are you sure?" he kept insisting. After she chose "Destroy Elpis," the guy had the audacity to make fun of her. She seemed disappointed and sad, and he laughed at her.

For me, this is a subtle form of abuse. Almost invisible.

Similar situations happen in long-term relationships. Women mention their favourite things—and also the things they dislike the most, such as flowers, scents, sweets, snacks, colours, activities, etc.—yet for anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions, they receive exactly the kinds of things they don't like (or even hate), or things that make them feel unwell.

It happened to my colleague recently. For their 20th anniversary, she got a bouquet of orange begonias from her husband. She hates begonias, and the colour orange is connected to a traumatic event in her life. There was no way he didn't know.

This "funny activity" is probably common in his family because my colleague also received an unwanted Christmas gift from her mother-in-law—a perfume she doesn't like. Same scenario.

There is a similarity in the excuses: "You should be grateful he didn't forget at all—you know, men don't remember these things." (But they can make effort remember things which she doesn't like and spend money on them). Or: "Why are you freaking out? It's just a video game. It's a horror game. The character isn't real. Your boyfriend is just a prankster. So cute. Nothing happened to you."

The sense of humour is more subjective than objective. In the context of culture or literary theory, it might sound fine, but in the dynamics of a romantic relationship, it's questionable.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He took advantage of her trust in him just to make fun of her.

Red flag.

It's a bad sign if you would rather trust the internet than the person who is supposed to be your soulmate.

If someone still wants to say, "It's just a video game. She should have been prepared for the worst," I just want to point out that victim blaming exists on a spectrum (probably)—from "What she was wearing" to "Why did she trust her boyfriend instead of checking the facts herself? Is she dumb?"

There is still a possibility that the video was staged, but judging by many similar stories from people around me and the countless storytimes on social media, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

(I am glad that comment section seemed kinda ... concerned. The world didn't end.)

Ada Wong is not just excelent mercenary but also exceptional dating advisor. She showed us how important is to prioritize yourself in your own life. And get a golden retriever boyfriend as a extra reward.

🎀 always prioritize yourself, your job, goals, your life. Never centered a men. If someone fails you, leave them on the spot. 🎀 if you already decided to give a chance to some mere mortal, challenging him, it doesn’t matter you are in the middle of some zombie outbreak. (Who cares?) He should be familiar with the fact you never lower your standarts, no matter what. Men need challenges in their life. The messier it gets, the better. 🎀however Ada’s fall was tought in the end of RE2, Leon had to fell harder... 🎀know the price of your services. Ada doesn’t risk her life for free. I bet that she has some servis rates with high numbers. 🎀technically, f*ck the patriarchy, use your own body however you want and wear whatever you want. If anyone has any objects... let them. Don’t waste your time and leave.

Since 1998. Ada, we listen and take notes. (... unfortunately any zombie outbreak in my area for looking for some husband material. 🥺 I’ll just have to settle for buying myself a pair of heels. )

[johnlocsin-johnyakuza]

Ada beating Simmons’ ass so hard that the screen was shaking will never get old.

[openmindedgoldencage]

Idk, there is no chance to convince me that Ada is not wife material...

[openmindedgoldencage]

In RE 2 Leon simply crashed into Ada’s plans and totally disrupted her work schedule. He stuck to her and refused to leave her. But in the end she is that bad b*tch who manipulated Leon from the beginning (some would even welcome it happening earlier...) without proper knowledge of consequences if she gave up that job. Of course, it could be internal motivation. From RE1 we know she was working on infiltration for a long time (two missions but connected with Umbrella laboratories) and after all of this, she simply didn’t want to give up because of one clueless rookie was in wrong place and wrong time. Yeah, let’s blame ambitious women. External motivation may came from uncertain consequences if the task wasn’t completed. Freelancers usually get some contract and if they fail it or don’t finish, there are some financial or legal consequences from client’s side. The problem is, that everything, all of the parties, all of the activities, all of the targets are far away from legal. It means that consequences of not completing the task could be ilegal. And dangerous. And painful... And again, why should ambitious and highly skilled woman throw everything away (and potentially put herself in danger) because one rookie who appeared in her life for for couple of hours, who doesn’t know all of pieces of this puzzle, said that’s a bad idea. I don’t blame Leon for being clueless (he simply tried to do his job and be protective and helpful towards woman who was alone and introduced herself as a "colleague doing her job"). Also his feelings being betrayed and misled are valid. But I can’t blame Ada either. Leon unconsciously put pressure on her and in the end, she didn’t have a choice than mislead him. When all else failed. She tried so hard to push him away (especially in remake). Ada is usually judged by misanthropic judgement. In this point of view everything is divide into black and white and right and wrong. There is no spectre, no space for exception especially for woman who is not good girl and obliged towards a (random!) man. In this way Ada is a bad because she failed Leon and reasons why all that happend, are unwanted. They need a villian and they will have it. Ada (as every woman on this Earth, fictional or not) is not black and white, because in this scale no woman can measure up to such a standard.

There is also refuse to go deeper and ask why Ada does this job. Canonically this question still stays with some vague hints but we don’t know why she is doing something that dangerous. And answers don’t have to be nice.

The worst part is, however Leon didn’t have all of pieces of evidence about Ada, he put it out of his mind and reassessed his priorities for the current situation in RE2. So, the only one person who was actually hurt by Ada’s actions is kind of peace with it.* An angry crowds are not. *yess, in RE4(RE) this matter is discussed for more than once but please, pay attention to Leon’s voice intonation and body language. My (mis)interpretation is he is not angry and he is not ready to kill her or humiliate her. But maybe I am wrong...

[openmindedgoldencage]

This matter is quite diabolical. Fans who critize aeon or Ada herself, use a Claire Redfield, the mother figure as a counterbalance of Ada Wong, the fallen woman to much impure to deserves Leon’s love (usually in ship clash "aeon × cleon"). In this case, Claire is the example of proper woman/girl in misogynistic world. She is a good friend, always helpful towards ordinary citizens and victims, cute little sister and the real mother figure for Sherry. Her intentions are clear. She always cooperate with male characters from same side of barricade mostly without objections - "good girl". Let’s back to the Sherry. Claire saved Sherry’s life and substituted her parents. Because Sherry’s biological parents were, how to put it... more career oriented? When we rid of Ada from this matter for a while, the new blaming target is needed. And here she is, Claire Redfield with all "proper woman" qualities. Let’s focus on her mother-figure role. Claire is the one who protected and guided Sherry through the Racoon City outbreak. This part is beyond criticism. But then what? Claire’s and Sherry’s paths diverged. Claire, 19 y. o. student, orphan with one biological relative - the minor herself dared to abandon another little orphan, who was just six-seven years younger than Claire. Claire definitely should have taken responsibility and become a step mother for Sherry. How this young woman even dared to decide to have her own life?! To chose the path of her career instead of fully took a care about the child? And then, because Claire is selfish and terrible person no matter what she done before, we need a substite for her failure. Of course, it’s Leon, the caucasian scout hero who suffered so much and he became only one parental figure for Sherry. Let’s ignore that Claire decided to help many people as possible in her future years and she was doing something meaningful. Or the fact, that she and Sherry are still in touch according to the canon. That’s all of the acts of heroism not just towards Sherry. They should be forgotten because Claire decided to do more than just be someone’s mother-figure. Of course, hate towards Claire cannot be compared to many ways of hatred towards Ada, just as a girl’s girl I don’t want to ignore struggles of the rest ladies in RE.

[openmindedgoldencage]

The most hatred towards Ada Wong character is probably the reason she doesn’t fit into the social concept of virginity. She is, simply said, too impure to be loved by someone like Leon S. Kennedy (in RE2 she is already 24 y.o. but whatever...), the "boy scout" hero. Because she "doesn’t deserve it" to get her own "white knight" (covered in shit in the sewers...). Compared to Jill or Claire, Ada is considered to be "already taken". There is no information about intimacy of Jill or Claire before the first/second RE (or I don’t remember...). They also look like little bit tomboyish what make them "unexperienced" because their clothes "doesn’t show any hints to be interested in boys and have active intimate life". But according to saying "what was she wearing" Ada is considered to be more experienced - seductive. She wears black and red combinations, high heels, tights, jewerly, short skirts/dresses, laces, leather... And what is even worse, Ada is considered not be just "deflowering" but clearly she is "fallen woman". It is a canon, the mention in RE1 that Ada Wong pretended to be someone’s mistress. So she probably used her body more than once. And indirectly for money. What it is known, women in oldest profession in the world are not clueless about men. They simply don’t have naive ideas about them. These women are in inferior roles and men who don’t have to pretend anything, come for one thing and they treat them that way. Ada is a freelancer and it’s not known how often she used/ uses her body during her missions. But, she clearly is not clueless about men. During the whole Ada and Leon’s journey into the nest, she keeps a distance. She seems cold and pushes him away. Ada is out of control for misogynistic enviroment. She is not the good girl who obediently listens "caucasian rookie officer" (btw. Leon never demanded obedience from her, never). The fact, that Ada is not also caucasian in this combo is sooo delicate... but maybe next time. The concept of "Redemption of the fallen woman" which is also really misogynistic idea, is slightly hinted in Ada’s statement, that things changed after Racoon City incident in her life (and maybe after Leon who was part of her mission in RC, but never said like that "Leon changed me" or whatever). But still, Ada is not redeemed. She didn’t change her career, she is still doing what was she doing before RC and Leon. She still wears nice chic clothes and accessories what men drive crazy (and that’s their problem, not Ada’s). She is still what she always been. Beyond redemption. Dehumanizing woman’s sexuality is a technique of control. But Ada is not punished for that. Leon was treating her well from the beginning, when she betrayed him, he was still worried about her safety, mourned for her loss and after six years of no contact (considering her death) he yearning her in every single moment of RE4. And I don’t wanna talk about RE6.... Ada "won", she dared to be not pure enough, even used her body intentionally for seduce her targets and be loved by the hottest and kindest man of the gaming world. It’s amusing how fans with big unhealthy egos are satisfied with Leon’s refusal of Ada’s offer to join him in the end of RE4. Like this uncontrolled b*tch gets what she deserves. Leon finally rid of this woman who betrayed him from his life. Etc. They only forget a little that in that scene Leon was deciding between "story of his life" and job he hates. Seriously, Leon chose the job which he hates over everything else. So the separate ways never been act of any revenge or hatred towards not enough pure Ada, but the act of sacrificing important part of his life. No matter what of the condition of her hymen... this is so sick, guys! I think haters are concerned how Leon doesn’t give a fuck how many sexual partners Ada had before, not even during their meetings in RE2,4,6 or how and when she lost her virginity. The only concern in this matter is probably her condition. Is she alright? Isn’t she hurt? Is she safe?

Aeon is wild fantasy for hyper-independent people who still believe that somewhere out there, some white knight waiting for them - someone who will meet their standards, accept them, and adore them.

Tashigi is little, cute "katana maniaka" who is hated by a community for no reason

Well, in most of a time when I started read One Piece, I didn´t care of OP Community. With my own pace I read manga chapter by chapter and successfully avoided most of the spoilers before I reached ongoing (and dropped it now I don´t care so much about spoilers and start read manga again in that point where I stopped five years ago - and Wano is done :D ) To the point, I was horrified how many people hate Tashigi so much. She always was one of my favourite characters and I ship her with Zoro. Ok, in two cases I am able to understand why she is not popular character: 1, ZoRobin shippers- understand to their feelings, they root for their favourite couple and I feel their "pain". Still get it, it´s part of the fandom to prefer one ship to another one. 2, she is weaker fighter than the others- ok, I have some arguments (I will explain later), but I get it. Some fans have to compare everyone with everyone who holds a sword and yeah, Tashi-chan is really weaker than Zoro or Mihawk. What I don´t get it, why people hate her so much. Be honest, it seems to me that hating Tashigi is an act of misogyny. I'm not exaggerating. Tashigi is a perfect sample how it´s hard to be significant female figure in two almost 100% male domains. In OP universe there is not so much swordswomen and there is not so much higher ranked marines. In many stories there is a narrative if we see female characters among the men and she is "the best however she is a woman" and in many stories it´s explain like "be woman is something worse, but she is great"). Personally, I don´t prefer this type of narrative and gladly Tashigi is not that case.

Assuming for "for non-existent misogyny"

Ppl critisize her for assuming Zoro for nothing. However we knows that his reason why he didn´t want to fight with her it´s kinda different than she thought. But be honest, women don´t assume the men for misogyny without reason. Who knows Tashigi´s experience with discrimination because she is female? Marine´s bases are not space of understanding and tolerence overrun by unicorns. Most of her superiors are men and also most of her subordinates are men. From my own experience I know some women who are in leadership positions and every single of them has experience that they struggled with some dump male subordinate who didn´t respect them because "they are just women". She had to make many times more efforts because of her gendre so that the people around her began to respect her. To become a petty officesand later a captain. And maybe when she fought with the pirates, she was used to that they insulted and underestimated her. We don´t know. Probably, she just expected the same interection from Zoro.

Tashigi is "crybaby"

The others critisize her for her "overeacting" and that she´s weak and crybaby. It´s typical insult for women. Crying is human biological process through which, for example, sadness or frustration is expressed (for all of a people). And I seriously debt when Zoro has his defeated moment with Mihawk and cried and screamed, nobody said "oh, he is too weak, emotional crybaby". No, he is so cool, cause he is able to express human emotions and for female audince he´s more se*ier than before. For girls crying is "shame and typical female reaction", for boys it is "a courageous act in which they show their humanity". Tashigi also show her humanity. In Logue Town, in Alabasta, also in Punk Hazard Arc. She felt frustrated, helpless, betrayed by her own perception of justice. That´s the reason why she cried.

Tashigi is weak

Tashigi is different type of swords(wo)man. If we could look at it that way, there is a group of swordsmen -swordsmen´s comunity whose "members" are divided between pirates, marines and the other groups in OP Universe. Like in almost every pirate crew there is one member who is familiar with some type of swords. These swordsmen and swordswomen are belong to different crews, everyone has different mindset, different goals in their lifes, different personality. And Tashigi is also different than the others. Most of the swordsmen wants to be better and better fighters, want to reach their names into the heavens (ehm,ehm) and be more and more skilled in fight how it would be possible. And for most of them see swords just as tool for reaching their dreams. Tashigi is focusing on these "tools". She is sword geek with high sense of justice, sometimes out of the reality. She wants better world where all of the famous swords are in hands of good people and serve to good of mankind. I don´t get the fans who still compare every single character with Mihawk or Zoro. They throw away Tashigi over the board just because she is weaker than Zoro. Ehm, Idk but it´s the point of the story. Zoro made a promise to become the greatest swordsman in the world and his goal is defeat Mihawk. We saw him in every chapter/episode how he´s becoming stronger and strogner and slowly reaching his name into the heaven. We don´t see Tashigi every single day (or decade) but she is in different position. She is not pirate in the crew somewhere middle of Grand Line and she doesn´t have to face to great dangers every single day. She is captain, most of the time probably she spends in headquarters or on the marine ship where she plans and gives orders to the marines. Of course, she is also in action but with reference to the above it is as it is. And she is not bad.

She is just annoying. Poor Zoro.

For Zoro Tashigi is one of the few people in the universe who: - is not Zoro´s enemy however she is not member of Strawhats crew -and she is swordswoman and she is not rival at the same time - he avoids her in fight by his own decision (in most of cases, he just follows Luffy decision to unite with the others), but Tashigi is not little child or unarmed citizen. Kuina who is gone is big issue of Zoro´s mind and Tashigi´s appearence doesn´t make it easier but in Punk Hazard arc is significant, that Zoro already moved from the statement "Tashigi makes troubles because she is similar to Kuina" to "Tashigi makes troubles". If we miss the interactions between Zoro and female crew members, there are not many female characters with whom Zoro would interact as much as Tashigi. And, you can think that Tashigi sucks but Zoro chose to be in her company voluntarily (depends of the situation where they are stuck together). He could decide for different ways how to interact with her, but in half of the shared moments he is kind to her. In Logue town he listen her chattering about the swords like no anyone else (and it was useful), he was willing to help her, when she was attacked by two pirates in Logue Town and he handed her a glasses when she fell while the others laughed at her. In Punk Hazard, he could left her because she is Marine after all, but he didn´t. Their talks are also awkard. Of course, it doesn´t mean that they will end up together as husband and wife with bunch of children but it was Zoro´s decision to let Tashigi into his life (somehow). According to me, Zoro sees Tashigi as someone who is brave, kind, protective to those in need with strong sense of justice and great geek into a swords in the cutest way as it is possible. It´s probably hard to talk with her, because she stubborn but he never underestimated her as a swordwoman, but he knows that she has different limits than him and that´s the reason why he is ready protects her when it is needed.

Why I don´t ship Robin with anyone

I saw many ship variantions like Zoro x Robin, Franky x Robin etc. (btw. it probably never happen, cause Oda said no space for "hanky panky" inside the crew, sorry guys) but I didn't choose any of them and my statement is that Robin should be single for rest of her days. She deserves love, a lot of love after all of things happend in her life. But I suppose, that she is not interested in romantic relationships. She is not like the Nami (we know...) and also I suppose she is not asexual. But, look at her background and all of things what happend to her. In the phrase "survive at all cost" are many meanings and some of them cannot be clearly shown in story which is aviable for children. Yeah, I bet, that Robin is very capable, smart woman and for 20 years she was in desperate situation and I bet, there were a moments, when she was to forced to resort to extreme actions like use everything what she had for survival. And I suppose that she had to use her own body since she was child, because OP universe like our world is not kind place for many little boys and girls. In whole OP we can see quite often contextual allusion for se*ual viollence. It´s significant in Sabaody arc where we can see slave trading and we know that some of the "items" (especially the beautiful women) are not used for physical labor. My theory is that Robin had to use her body for many times since her childhood and right know she traumatized and disgusted use physical touch like act of the love with men. And she is comfortable to be single. What she needs is a loyal group of friends who will support her when she will need (also it took some arcs cause she had big trust issues). It can change or mabye Oda has different plans with Nico Robin, but I guess that staying single makes her more charming than put her into relationship.

K Dramas: mirror of feminity

Kdramas surprisingly are my gate to discover many faces of feminity through the popular culture. I was in shock after watching The Glory, Mr. Sunshine, This is my first life, My liberation notes, Hyena, Little women and many others, that the storytelling with female main characters (and also side characters) can be so real. Like that most of them what I watched can passed Bechdel test without any problems. When I was younger (around 16 y.o.) I found my passion in the anime and Japanese culture. Idk why maybe Japan is in the other side of the world and I was attracted to difference of the Japanese culture. Nevertheless I always missed something. Especially, my imagination and my inner world always missed the potential of female characters. Except for a few exceptions they were always same, they didn´t have personality which I would sympathize with. Most of them were subordinated to the behavior of the male characters. They just existed for love and support of the others. How years passes, this fact started to bother me more and more. Of course, I have my favourites, and most of them based of quality of female characters (for example Psycho-pass, Another, some Ghibli movies), but mostly male storytelling about women is something sick all around the world. I suppose that I am included (with my age and level of education and place where I live) into the targed audience of k-dramas. And it´s ok, cause media work in that way. One of my first kdrama which I ever watched was title Strong woman Do Bong Soon, in that time I was in my early twenties, and still I wasn´t into kdrama like in nowadays. But I was suprised. In last years I watched many kdramas with better storytelling, but Do Bong Soon, however she had a crush, sometimes she was naive, she was really strong. She has strong moral statements, she was so brave. And however the end is little bit cheesy and there is a tons of cheap female gaze, I really enjoyed the story. And personality of Do Bong Soon. Then, after few years, when I passed some relationships, almost finished my studies and moved for several times (in my homecountry and also in abroad and back), I felt little, little bit mature than before. And I realized, when I open the Netflix or other platform, that I want to watch something where I can put my shoes and say something like "Oh, I know how they feel." or "I like how she is independent, strong and at the same time so natural". In the other words, I wanted to watch female believable storytelling. And accidentaly I found kdramas again. My experience with Because this is my first Life was stunning, I loved everything (almost everything) about the story. Than I realized how the stories show females. Like individual human beings. Another milestone in my journey of discovering of beauty of womanhood in pop culture, was experience with The Glory and Little women. For the first time I watched story about broken INTJ female (I am also INTJ female and know how it´s f**king hard to find something like that, trust me), then The Glory was my little pleasure. And Little Women was my big pleasure. It´s a great example how women are able to be dangerous, powerfull, many faced and cold blooded. And maybe for the first first time I watched how the male characters are "just" puppets in this complicated, crazy, cold blooded and rational tricky games. It doesn´t matter how powerfull or capable they were, they couldn´t do almost anything. I don´t like the "fact" that rationality and thinking is some man´s thing. And the women are sooo emotional and they are not able to control their emotions. Nonsense, women have to control just more things in their lifes. Men can focus for only one thing (for example career) and the society passed them without note. If woman want to do same thing she has to deal with many obstacles, so she has control more emotions and feeling, and still, women are able to be rational human beings (I personally belive more than men). In kdramas I noticed one thing. It is admitted here that being a woman is hard (in many cases)

to be female lawyer without rich family and traumatic backround is hard (Hyena)

to be single female in her 30s´ without money or family who will help you and looking for a accomodiation is hard (Because this is my first life)

to be unmarried 27yo woman is hard (Strong woman Do Bong Soon)

to be a young woman who does not conform to beauty standards is hard (The Mask girl)

to be young woman who has traumatic experience with se*ual abuse is hard (Mad for Each other)

For the first time, in k-dramas I saw many faces of women. Women are humans. Women deal many things. Women doesn´t live just for male pleasure. Women have debts, siblings, healthy problems, traumas, pets and hobbies. I still realize that kdramas are fictions. There is a lot of female gaze (I know and honestly I don´t care *smirk*), many cheesy endings with love and weddings, the good, supported and handsome male characters don´t have copies in real world (sad) and amount of drunk bottles of soju in reality should by alarming (thanks for My Liberation notes where it´s focused of alcoholism). Also South Korea is not feministic paradise, it´s just the opposite. But the kdramas which are aviable to North America and Europe audience is something what sees female in real life more than most of titles of western production of film industry.

Akane´s (love) interest(s)

According to my personal feelings and thanks to nostalgia which I have for years from ship „Shinkane“ I really wanted to avoid this topic, but I think that I really can´t.

Can it really works? Like Shinkane? Of course yes, the authors almost indicated that the two are soulmates. But can it really be enough for a working relationship?

And my doubts grew when I watched the third series and met him – Homura. I have nothing against him, but at first I was worried that he was somehow connected to Akane. Somehow.

But I am not sixteen y.o. fool to think that Akane will live like a nun and wait until Shinya "dares" to "somehow" return home.

This brings me to an idea that came to my mind when I read the theather play Pygmalion (by Bernard Shaw) years ago - play, not a musical.

In the author's speech of the end of book, Shaw states that Eliza will not marry Higgins, but Freddy. In short, Higgins is a perfect soulmate, but Freddy is a perfect match because he is able to give her everything she needs for love. While Higgins will compete with her and never show her that he loves her.

There is something about it. I recommend that all young people read it- romance in relationships is not enough.

Back to the point. I can't associate this author's idea with the characters from PP Universe. Because:

Shinkane is not a toxic relationship. On the contrary- in most of time.

We know nothing about Homura. So we can't say he's a supportive man for Akane. They could have something in common, but we can really only guess what kind of person he is.

But… Psycho pass is one big soap opera with dominators from the beginning. First season is about relationship of two men, also about son-father complicated relationship. About the beginning of a romantic interest between two people put together by a terrorist (really, Kou and Tsu are closer because of Makishima, crazy, right? ). Only two people who are not drama queens is our cute lesbian couple (Kunizuka × Shion).

But it´s sounds as a fun. If Akane dated with Homura before her arrest and imprisonment and after her release, Ko picked her up and took her somewhere on date ... why not. Really why not. Maybe, for Kougami it can be sign of last chance like „don´t fuck up it again“ because Akane hasn´t to wait for him forever. In PP3 Kougami behaved as fool and it was clear that he had something against Homura. Guess what.

I really want to watch PP4, really… girls just want to have fun, yo know.

I never mentoined before, but Akane´s ordinary clothing is full of warm clothes. I guess, that´s expresses her kind and warm-hearted personality.

Shin lying that he didn’t see Lena because he wants her all to himself and doesn’t want any guy to know how attractive she is

He saw this

And was like, “Damn, that drawing Theo drew of her doesn’t do her justice!! She’s so beautiful!!”

[openmindedgoldencage]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I mean this act was childish (don´t say to his "comrades" how their ex-superior looks) because one day they will find out for themselves without you, Shin. And, what´s wrong for the answer "she is pretty and she is in our age"? All of you are young soldiers in the midlle of the biggest conflict in the world, so what´s wrong to pay homage to the Lena in front of them? They can laugh to you, but your life can be too short to have worries or feel embarrassed. And I bet, that no one will try to "steal" her from you. Nope, you´re too dangerous for someone to risk it. Trust me.

Couple weeks ago I found a documentary video how the Psycho-pass movies were made. The video is over one hour and aviable on Youtube. there are a lot of interviews with the creators. And it looks very interesting. The problem is language, the video is only aviable in Japanese. Do you know if anyone created English subtitles for that?

[openmindedgoldencage]

In Psycho-Pass Universe Kougami is considered a legendary detective with brilliant judging skills:

Well...
