Talk:List of Paranoia Agent characters

message: I found out that after her dog died, Tsukiko Sagi "created" Makoto Kozuka's alter ego and clone as a mental scapegoat. Because of this reason, i suspect that she not only the protagonist, but is also the real main villain of the story. -- Ed Telerionus 17:53, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Why isn't this part of Paranoia Agent as a section? A single, 13-episode animated series doesn't seem to me to be worth splitting out a separate page just for character listings. Still, there's some good work here, and it should be preserved. -Harmil 30 June 2005 19:28 (UTC)
:I believe it was created in an proactive attempt to adhere to the 30K limit guideline for Wikipedia pages.  As the series gets more airing in the US, there's going to be multiple layers added to the main PA page and that one is going to grow rather quickly, thus necessitating breakoffs; this likely would be the first section to be broken off due to its present size as is.  A bit forward thinking, admittedly, but as you metioned, worth preserving.--Mitsukai 1 July 2005 13:34 (UTC)
::Yes thats pretty much it. This series has a really diverse and complex cast as well as a number of things that could go over a lot of people's heads such as symbolism and story relevance. But rather than make the main page nearly unvewable due to the length we opted to make it a new page.--Kiyosuki 14:15, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I only saw the dubbed version on television, but didn't she discover the photos from the hidden camera in the "trash" on her father's profile, not the Internet?
No, she found them next to the trash can on the desktop. It seems her father was going to delete the files, but when he dragged them to the trash can, he missed and lefted them on the desktop. Then she found them after changing the background.
but, to ask the reaaly dark question, was it ever definitively revealed that he was selling the pics? the "YOU HAVE TO CALL ME DADDY!!!" bit with the whore was a particularly strong indicator that the pics weren't for business alone.
Thank you; that was totally what I meant.  Also, it wasn't just the whore; it was the little girl at the house he was robbing just before he caught "Little Slugger." -HurriSbezu
The nature of his need for Taeko's pictures is very cojunctural. He could of been selling them for money...which would go with his overall money grubber ambitions. However, he also did seem to have some very interesting sexual fetishes...there's really no way to tell for certain. Its pretty disturbing either way however. --Kiyosuki 14:17, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

message: It is obvious that this show deals extensively with human psychology...It seems as though each of the victims has some sort of psychological disorder or condition (e.g. Yuichi-superiority complex, Harumi-Multiple Personalities, Tsukiko-mental and emotional divergence, etc.)  It might be appropriate to include a brief psychoanalysis with each character...This might go a long way towards bringing new perspective into this discussion.  I hope that someone with a fair knowledge of psychology will be able to make the appropriate edits.  Dave 01:45, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It is clear that these two characters were constructed as foils for each other. Even though there is evidence that the director is critical of Yuichi, I have to question the extent of this from what was shown in the anime. I think saying this about him is a bit inaccurate "[he] is really a vain, spoiled brat whose ego has been so overfilled with delusions of popularity and self-indulgence that it has made his mind weak, inflexible and delicate." Besides the unncecessary harshness of this statement, I can't help but question the accuracy of it. For example, was his concept of his own popularity delusional? I don't believe it was. I believe we were led to believe that he was in fact the most popular kid in school so I would believe that his sense of his popularity may not be humble but it certainly wasn't delusional. He certainly does seem vain especially with the numerous teeth shots and his opinion of Shogo, but exactly how spoiled is he? I didn't notice any signs of him being spoiled. His lonely birthday party was not extravagant as I would expect from a kid who is spoiled. His room and home looked typical and in no way suggested wealth or indulgence. Also, is he a brat? a brat is "A child, especially a spoiled or ill-mannered one" yet Yuichi is not spoiled and he doesn't lack manners. He cooperates with the police. Despite his mind breaking down, he was actually rather well behaved. He is clearly not a brat.
:He was certainly mean and ill-mannered when he smugly accused Shogo and started pushing him around (when the photos were secretly taken). Brats often act nice around authority figures (like the police) just so they can more easily be mean to their peers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.191.169.132 (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
