In the second season of Psycho-Pass, we learn that Sakuya Togane has the
highest Psycho Pass ever registered. How can this be,

psycho-pass
In season 2, why does Sakuya Togane have the highest Psycho Pass registered?


Sakuya Togane:

> very good positive results, such as when he demonstrated sadistic acts
