So As I Pray
I have this hunch. A hunch that Togane is an extension of the Sybil system in some way.
The only piece of evidence I have towards this is mostly in the opening. where the Chief kind of flickers into Togane. This could mean absolutely nothing, for all I know.
The only other hint is that Togane's notably supportive of Akane's "unusual" methods and awareness of those who don't quite fall into the Sybil System's jurisdiction as proper.
One issue that somewhat disproves the event is Division 3's deployment, however. Seeing as the Chief ordered that herself.
Very curious, yes.
Additionally, Mika's behavior is very detrimental to the team and Ginoza seems to be falling back into his old ways, despite having dealt with a criminally asymptomatic villain in the past. The fact that he's so opposed to the idea that there's someone that doesn't quite register on the Sybil System seems like they're just kind of ignoring his character development.
You're missing two off-hand lines that may suggest that he's is some sort of extension or that he has been placed there on purpose. Togane mentioned that the chief wants to let Inspector Shisui run wild because it was the will of Sibyll. When did enforcers talk to the chief? I thought her dealings were with inspectors alone. Kasei it self has mentioned that he is a special case, the highest criminal coefficient on record, what did Sibyl do to him to allow him to become n enforcer?
I also pointed out earlier in the thread that Togane said "it'll take more than [getting deeply involved in a case] to cloud [Akane's] hue" which suggests he has information about her. How did he get this information? Well there's only one place he could have: Akane's not supposed to watch him, he's there to watch Akane.
Well it does take two years after the events of season 1 so water is under the bridge and asymptomatics are relatively uncommon, but I really think he's more worried about Akane ending up like him rather than denying Kamui's existence.
I have a piss-poor memory span, so I don't retain a lot of what I've watched well. However, that is certainly more evidence pointing to him being an extention of the Sibyl System. Still curious.
I do remember him stating that, though, which in hindsight does strike as unusual since they've only been working together for two or less years. He's also fairly in tune with Akane's methods, even if they're unusual. It seems odd that an Enforcer that's relatively new wouldn't question Akane's motive at all.
Honestly though, I feel like Ginoza really should be aware of just how difficult it is to cloud Akane's hue, especially after the Makishima incident. If anything, I feel like if he's going for a protective route it'd be more likely to have a negative impact on her hue by not trusting her instinct on the situation.
Also, you showed them off earlier and I gotta admit, I'm hella jealous of that signed copy of Saya no Uta you've got. Damn. Did you meet Urobuchi in person and get it signed or was it something you'd picked up signed?
