Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
When she was still an assassin[]
- Even when she was a technical assassin before adhering to Chisato's non-lethal methods, she still wanted to protect people, though in very pragmatic ways, saving Saori, a young woman, from a group of stalkers but also keeping the woman as a hostage for the moment, and being willing to kill them if it wasn't for Chisato.
No more as an assassin[]
- Alongside Chisato, she stops using her assassin weapons and adheres to the non-lethal policy while shooting enemies.
- While still maintaining a professional, composed and serious attitude, she genuinely has become far more empathetic and overall a selfless, kind individual who embraces saving and helping others as a goal, also thanks to Chisato's influence.
- Of course, along with Chisato, she fights to protect all the civilians from terrorist attacks and dangers.
- She saves Chisato's life in Episode 6 when Majima is about to kill her, shooting the gun out of his hand.
- In Episode 8, she suddenly rushes to Chisato's help after Himegama traps Chisato by drugging her and trying to get stuff by operating on her mechanical heart.
- in Episode 11, she blasts her way into the Skytree to save Chisato from Majima again.
- In the Radio Tower fight in the final Episode (13), Takina saves Chisato's life again after the fight is taken to the glass underside of the radio tower.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- Even though she isn't anymore an assassin, she still has moments of minor lethality, too much for her to be PG. Her being willing to go for the kill if the situation calls for it shows during a sudden encounter with the murderer and terrorist Majima in a situation where she suspects Chisato is in danger, and indeed she tries to kill him then. She also tries to kill Shinji and Himegama in order to get the new artificial heart Shinji has transplanted into himself to save Chisato, though Chisato prevents her from killing them.
