| “ | I am talking about seeing the naked splendor of people's souls. I want to see our precious lives played out on the stage of the world, but how can our souls be precious if they're not utilized? If we base our lives on Sibyl's Oracle and not our own free will, then can our souls have value? | „ |

| “ | Everyone is alone. Everyone's empty. We don't really need each other anymore. With so much at our finger tips, we can find a spare for any talent, any item, any piece of knowledge, any relationship can be replaced with a simple search and a click. I'd become bored of a world like that. | „ |

Shōgo Makishima is the main antagonist of the first season of the anime, Psycho Pass. A mysterious criminal that is hellbent on attempting to destroy the Sibyl System, he serves as the foil of Shinya Kogami and also a Wicked Cultured Philosopher who claims on liberating human race from the oppressive Sibyl System that erases them from expressing their own individuality. However, it was soon revealed that his goal is not as well-intentioned as it seems.
He's played by Takahiro Sakurai in Japanese, who also plays Femto in the 2016 adaptation of Berserk and Kenjaku from Jujutsu Kaisen and Alex Organ in English, who also voiced Isaac Ray Peram Westcott in season 2 of Date A Live.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- There are indications Makishima is the way he is due to him feeling rejected by the system due to his criminally asymptomatic nature, but not only is any sort of tragedy relying merely upon speculation so can't have actual weight, but Makishima seems to have embraced his loneliness and is only motivated by his twisted desire to "feel human", being that he feels humanity are all depraved monsters deep down and show their true face when acting on their darkest desires.
- While Makishima claims himself to be a freedom fighter seeking to free humanity from the Sibyl system, which are a system of totalitarian rulers, it all comes across as nothing more than empty rhetoric as he is just an anarchist who only wants to corrupt humanity out of his own dark misanthropic beliefs.
- For all his desires of "savoring his humanity", Makishima forms mostly superficial bonds and friendships with others, such as with his hacker and right-hand, Choe Gu-Sung, who he reacts with only brief irritation seeing his death before brushing it off and moving on.
- Acting as a corrupter, Makishima contacts multiple people, including Rikako Oryo and Toyohisa Senguji, with dark hues on their Psycho-Passes and has them embrace their bloodthirsty and twisted desires, having them commit killing sprees to attract the attention of the police for his own use. And whenever he no longer has any interest in their potential to him and have become liabilities to him, he has them all eliminated by cutting off any and all ways for them to escape the MWPSB and abandoning them to their deaths, or in Rikako's case, order Senguji to kill her.
- Takes Yuki Funahara hostage to lure in Kogami for Senguji's sadistic fox hunts. Later on, he holds her at knifepoint, to threaten her best friend, Inspector Akane Tsunemori, in order to force her to use it to go against the Sibyl system's flawed judgement and kill him using Senguji's rifle. When Akane struggles to pull the trigger, Makishima cold-bloodedly kills Yuki in front of Akane as punishment and as a mockery of Sibyl's flawed judgement on who is good and evil.
- Orchestrates a series of city-wide riots that tear the entire city apart, killing countless people and threatens the destruction of huge swathes of the city.
- Sought to shut down the Sibyl system and plunge Japan into chaos and create a new world order where humanity is free to kill and destroy as they please out of his own nihilistic beliefs.
- In a final gambit to ensure the very toppling of the Sibyl system, Makishima attempts to destroy the Hyper-Oats factory, which as a result, will destroy Japan's main food supply in the process.
- Kills Kudama Nobuaki before cutting off his eyeballs and fingers so he can use them to bypass the security system of the Hyper-Oats factory.
- Forces Tomomo Masoaka to sacrifice himself to shield Nobuchika Ginoza (his son) from a grenade he threw at him so he can escape from their restraints.
- Overall, forms an extremely twisted bond with Enforcer Shinya Kogami as archenemies out of a belief that Kogami would no longer be able to have the will to live after being killed by him to achieve his "irreplaceable relationship", in which even after his death, Kogami has haunted hallucinations of him.
