No, they really aren't the same. The majority of the CCG characters we've met along the way are not involved in the conspiracy, they are simply people caught up in the cycle and acting based on the lies and manipulations fed to them.

I'm not saying they are totally blameless for participating, but there's a world of difference between the Washuus, Furuta, and Arima who are active participants in the corruption.....and folks like Akira, Shinohara, the Kuroiwas, Kuramoto, Fura, and the Quinx that are genuine people doing what they've been fooled into believing is right.

They're being used, plain and simple.

Akira is a victim of that cycle, having lost her parents and many other loved ones to the violence V perpetuates. She is being used to help continue that very cycle that hurt her.

Shinohara was a good man, with a kind heart and a strong sense of justice. He saw Juuzou as a victim when everyone else wrote him off as a monster.

Fura fights to protect the people he cares about, after a ghoul killed his friends and maimed his future wife.

The Kuroiwas and Kuramoto are all nice folks, that are trying to protect people. They accept someone like Sasaki without question.

The Quinx have all kinds of complicated reasons for joining, but aren't bad people.

All these people are ultimately pawns being used in a much larger game, one they don't even know about.
