I'll try to answer the questions to the best of my ability.
Alfonse said: why exactly is sybil trying to make Akane's hue black? Wouldn't that hurt them in the long run? If she's judged and forced to be an enforcer/dead, then they'd lose an inspector who follows everything that sybil lays out. Or are they trying to figure out if she's criminally asymptomatic so they can add her to her brain collection?
Partly yeah, trying to figure out if she's criminally asymptomatic, as her hue is insanely hard to cloud.
On the other hand, Sybil and Akane are currently at odds - Akane is still obeying Sybil despite knowing the secret because she knows that there's no other alternative at the moment. If Sybil falls without any kind of replacement, society - which is dependant on Sybil to the point of being unable to exist without it - would completely crumble.
Alfonse said: I also don't get what the point of telling Shimotski all this information even was. Why tell it to her? She doesn't really seem like someone who would really do much with the information. Kasei should've just said "Whatever, we'll look into it" when Shimotski showed her the report.
From what I've figured out, Mika dug a little too much information for her own good. Knowledge is always power, and Kasei cannot risk Mika blurting out that information to someone else - Akane, for example. Also, by telling Mika about the secret, Kasei is testing her as well - we've seen Mika's psycho-pass barely changing after she learns the truth.
Alfonse said: I'm also not really understanding Kamui's character, his motives, nor his followers. So we've gathered that Kamui is essentially someone who was made by the organs of 184 different people (which, because of a plane crash, should not be able to function, given how much damage that causes to internal organs, but sci-fi, w/e). How does this allow him to avoid scanners? And it's established that he hates sybil because they caused traffic accidents/airplane crashes. Was it explained why they did this? I think I missed it/forgot.
By having organs of 184 different people (let's ignore the ridiculousness of it for a while), system is unable to detect him as a person, as he basically carries 184 different DNA in himself (huge assumption on my part), which leads to him basically becoming ghost in the system. Because system can't detect and acknowledge him as a person, society, which is dependant on that system, is also denying Kamui's existence.
Sybil caused traffic accidents and airplane crashes as a self defense mechanism since people has tried to replace it with Panopticon. By causing those accidents in the vehicles under Panopticon's "care", Sybil directly lowered reputation of Panopticon and caused whole development to be stopped, leaving Sybil in the position of power.
Alfonse said: His followers are all illegal aliens disguised as holos of higher ups, correct? Why are they helping Kamui? Why did Kamui and his friend burn those illegal immigrants and officials?
Now, I lack the info about it, but I think that they are helping Kamui because as they're in the similar situation as he is - society doesn't want to recognize them.
As for why Kamui burned those officials, it's because they're directly related to the Season of Hell. They were the ones who were pushing Panopticon to replace Sybil, and it's under their "care" that all those accidents happened. Yet, once they realized they failed in their plans to replace Sybil and their hues got clouded, they ran to Kamui to clean them.
Alfonse said: Why exactly does sybil not care for Kamui's motivations right now? He's a much bigger threat to the system than Akane or Shimotski. Why aren't they taking any actions to shut him down? Kasei seems to be completely unfazed by his actions.
Probably because Sybil wants to use Kamui to find flaws in the system so that Sybil can improve itself. I'm not sure much about it.
Alfonse said: Tougane is said to be a latent criminal who was able to raise inspector's psychopasses, where then all of them died due to their PP's being too high. But then we see Tougane killing puppies and maintaining a clear PP, so how is he a latent criminal? Why was he created artificially? What exactly were they doing? Why are they doing AA when criminally asymptomatic people already exist naturally? What is sybil's goal here?
I feel that's the part of information show has yet to reveal. |
