Shogo Makishima is the antagonist of Physcopass and is normally convicted as the villain of the story. Although Makishima is purposely made out to act, sound, look, and be a villain, most people disagree that he is really the bad guy. The first time I watched Physcopass I hated Makishima. He was the typical villain. But some fans online were talking about Makishma's true intentions that were harmless.
Shogo Makishima prefers the company of old books to other people after he discovers that the words of the passionate dead are the only things that can make him feel human in a world of cold, purposeless convenience. He mourns the willful ignorance of a society that let such dystopia world. His true intentions are not bad. A born evangelist, he possesses both uncommon charisma and a true gift for narrative.
Although Makishima brutally and publicly murders multiple people, he really was just trying to give the world, and the Sybil System, a harsh piece of reality; he was right. Yes, he did murder a few innocent people, which is wrong. However, nobody had been murdered in the whole country for years. So did Makishima make a huge impact? No. Makishima is a brave man who stood up for what he believes in, free will. No, Makishima knew it was wrong to kill people, but he wasn't hungry for blood, he was hungry for freedom.
If we were looking at this whole series backwards and Makishima was the protagonist and The Sybil System was the Antagonist, then more people would be on Makishima's side.
