Well readers we have quiet the mystery for this weeks post, in the show Psycho Pass there are people who are called Criminally Asymptomatic, or people who do not show symptoms of committing a crime. This is very similar to someone who committed a crime and didn't leave any evidence, but yet criminally asymptomatic people are different. The show's definition of the term is different than the direct translation of the term, other wise Shogo Makishima's would of been eligible for enforcement action when he killed Yuki in front of Akane. So today I am going to tell you my theory on what makes someone criminally asymptomatic in the show.
So far in the two seasons Akane had only come across one person who is criminally asymptomatic which is Shogo Makishima, and Sakuya Togane. During Akane's encounter with Sakuya he was not criminally asymptomatic but during his childhood he was, which because of his unique situation he will be my prime subject for this theory. Sakuya Togane was artificially made and was able to commit crimes without an increase in his crime coefficient, but when his mother said that she was going to join the Sibyl System he attempted to kill her with a pair of scissors and then had the highest recorded crime-coefficient in history. His case was different from everyone else due to the fact that he was no longer considered criminally asymptomatic, while everyone else continued to be criminally asymptomatic despite their actions
My theory on this matter is that for someone to be criminally asymptomatic you have to be considered mentally sane, so if you are mentally sane while being scanned you can fool the scanners and be considered criminally asymptomatic but if your not then you are considered at latent criminal. Sakuya was considered sane (minus sociopathic tendencies) when he was a child and when he killed his mother he was no longer considered sane. Which makes perfect sense since afterwards he was obsessed with turning people into latent criminals and in the final episode of Psycho-Pass 2 he said "No one is allowed to be more clear than mother", thus proving that he is not exactly mentally stable, and could be considered a target for enforcement action.
I hope you enjoyed this post and that you keep up with my posts in the following weeks, right now I will mainly be posting Psyco-Pass and Attack on Titan Theories but I will be moving to other subjects as time goes on. If you would like to mention your own theory than please do so, also if you would like me to write a post/theory on anything particular than please go ahead and tell me, more than likely I will post a theory on the subject. Also I hope you have an amazing day, and remember this is only AVIRGINTHEORY!
Nice theory and I think people who are criminally asymptomatic think other humans as insects. Like how we go "eww, I stepped on a roach" and not even feel sorry for that little critter. No remorse or guilt is shown when we kill something that is not "us" . Etc. They are sane and have no doubt in posing judgements. Sorry for my terrible grammar XD. My theory is just based on hunter x hunter Chimera ant arc and Parasyte + some other creepy/horror manga, which I accidentally found when browsing from smut to Adult/Mature to Seinen (^///^)
ReplyDelete"Akane had only come across one person who is criminally asymptomatic which is Shogo Makishima, and Sakuya Togane." So... She had come across 2 people, not one. Right?

ReplyDelete"What Makes A Person Criminally Asymptomatic?"
just how Togane lost that.
I think criminally asymptomatic people are sociopaths or psychopaths. Since people with these two disorders also feel no remorse or guilt and have no conscience. They are completely logical and pragmatic in their thinking and feels very little emotion. For them taking the life is the same as eating a cake. So it won't really affect their mental state whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteAkane isn't a sociopath neither a psychopath
