Conception of the Oracle is the eighth episode of Psycho-Pass 2.
Synopsis
Masuzaki explains to Saiga how Kamui received parts from the other 184 bodies in his surgery, including seven brains, resulting in him becoming someone who cannot be measured by his Psycho-Pass, going on to explain that Kamui's goal is to overturn the entire Sibyl System. Meanwhile, Shimotsuki, who had been investigating Togane Foundation's patent on the surgery, learns that Kamui had last accessed the file before her. Looking over Masuzaki's testimony, including how he killed people of influence and replaced them with imposters, Tsunemori and the others deduce that all of the 184 holo victims are Kamui's personas, while the imposters that were used as replacements were illegal immigrants. Shimotsuki discovers the patents owned by the Togane Foundation were filed by Togane's mother, Misako Togane, who died five years ago, believing Kamui's goal may be to get revenge against the Togane Foundation. Shimotsuki tries filing a report to Kasei have Tsunemori dismissed from the MWPSB, feeling she is a danger to the operation. However, this turns out to be a trap laid out by Kasei, who is revealed to be Misako Togane herself, who decides to use her as a test subject and show her the truth behind Sibyl.
