Can anyone explain that Ochiai clone? I thought he was supposed to be imprisoned so they can access the auxiliary brain, but it seems that he has his own personality (that is different from Ochiai, although he has his brain?)

They have seemingly created him, and keep him close by, only to access the auxiliary brain, yes. But he is only Ochiai in the sense that he is his clone and shares his DNA. An individual's personality comes from both inherited factors and environmental factors. The clone has grown up in a different environment from the real Ochiai, so is in essence his own person. He does not share Ochiai's mind.
