Man, the justifications used by some of these people are hilariously crude. What was most ironic was the bullcrap that was placed on the hologram that hid his body, apparently taking him to a “world without suffering”. Knowing that Shinya’s subordinate Sasayama had to go through all of that, and had to experience the dismembering alive was really painful to me, and despite all of his faults no-one deserves that kind of death, especially when Shinya thought that he was actually a decent guy deep down. The protein within the body is converted into plastic, and so the final product is this grotesquely warped creature that used to be a human being. Even more so when we’re freshly reminded about the process of plastination, where first the body is dismembered and cut open, with chemicals then used to turn them into preserved human specimens.
I feel pretty sorry for Shinya after learning his back-story directly from him – there’s certainly more to it than what the CID officially have as a record.
Elsewhere, Makishima converses with a man over the subject of Rikako’s father, Oryo Rouichi while unknowingly, Rikako herself has captured both Yoshika and her friend and are readying them for the plastination process. Taking you to a world without suffering.”Īfter confirming the use of plastination in the human specimen under the fountain, Gino bans Shinya from continuing with the case, prompting Akane to ask Shinya directly about the death of Sasayama and his eventual demotion to an Enforcer.
