<p>My interpretation is that Rikako's father Roichi was an artist, as well as a person who felt that people had lost the sense of motive for life.

<p>Rikako's motive for her serial killing and gory paintings were different from Roichi's. Her motive was the death of her father.

Thus, although we can safely assume that she will commit the murders anyway even if Makishima hadn't helped her, the success and cruelness were caused mainly by Makishima.</p>
<p>Finally, the two plasticized human bodies of the congressman and Enforcer Mitsuru Sasayama were not the work of Rikako. They are two of the victims of the grotesque serial killings by Toma. Toma's motivation was unclear, but it may have been similar to Makishima's.</p>

<p>Rikako Oryo was the daughter of a genius artist and strictly moral person. As far as I have understood, her father tried to depict the principle that humans can advance their morality by exposing themselves to darker side of humanity. The paintings that he created are gruesome and I do not understand what exactly he wanted to depict through them. His philosophy, and that of Rikako, was difficult for me to grasp.</p>
<p>What did the paintings of the Oryos depict exactly? What caused Rikako, a daughter of a strictly moral person, to become a serial killer? Was it the charisma of Makishima that caused her to get manipulated? Furthermore, what did the earlier two plastic models created out of that congressman and an enforcer that Kogami said about, symbolize? These things just add to the gore and seem meaningless. Are they really just meaningless?</p>
