Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex	comment	Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a TV anime series and adaptation of Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga. It tells the story of Public Security Section 9, a covert counter-terrorist task force working for the Japanese government in a Post-Cyberpunk future. Led by Major Motoko Kusanagi (a no-nonsense female cyborg), Section 9 specializes in the rising threat of cybercrime facilitated by the ubiquity of cybernetic bodies/implants in the future.Stand Alone Complex features digital cel animation produced in full widescreen and a soundtrack by Yoko Kanno. Although the plot leans action-heavy and contains loads of political intrigue, it also features a strong focus on philosophical discussions of dehumanization through technology and synthetic life.The world of Stand Alone Complex differs from the worlds of the two Ghost in the Shell feature films and the original manga: The feature films and the manga focus on Motoko Kusanagi and her evolution into something beyond human after her encounter with the Puppetmaster. Stand-Alone Complex, though, is more of a Police Procedural: it doesn't have the Puppetmaster show up in any form and Section 9 (including Kusanagi) exists as a fully functional team throughout.Stand Alone Complex has two twenty-six episode seasons, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C: 2nd GIG. Fans often abbreviate both seasons (for obvious reasons) as "GITS:SAC" (pronounced "Git-Sack" by the uncouth) and "2nd Gig". Like The X-Files and many other Speculative Fiction TV series, Stand Alone Complex features episodes dedicated to an ongoing Story Arc alternating with self-contained episodes which follow a single case and focus on character development or worldbuilding. The series identifies these various episodes by two letter code in their titles as being "Stand Alone" or "Complex" in season 1 and "Individual", "Dividual", or "Dual" in 2nd Gig. The first season's "Complex" story arc focuses on the Laughing Man incident, a highly publicized kidnapping by a master hacker who can hack cyberbrains in real time, and a government coverup that led to the original event. The second season's "Individual" story arc focuses on a terrorist cell known as the Individual Eleven, led by the mysterious Hideo Kuze, as well as a "Dual" story arc that focuses on Section 9's conflict with Kazundo Gouda's Cabinet Intelligence Service. GITS:SAC and 2nd Gig are available on disc either as full series, or as single discs edited down to focus on the main story. The edited versions last about two and a half hours each.The 2006 Made-for-TV Movie, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society, takes place two years after the end of 2nd Gig; the story follows Section 9 as it struggles to deal with both Motoko's departure and a volatile refugee situation triggered by the actions of an entity known as the Puppeteer.As noted above, the Ghost in the Shell franchise has four separate but equally legitimate continuities: 1) the original manga, 2) Mamoru Oshii's films (which themselves recreate and compress specific parts of the manga), 3) Stand Alone Complex and 4) Ghost in the Shell: Arise, a Continuity Reboot and an origin story for Section 9. None of the individual continuities have any direct relation to one another aside from variants on the setting and characters, although both movies and Stand Alone Complex make references to/offer recreations of specific scenes from the manga.In 2011, Kodansha Comics released a Stand Alone Complex manga written by Yu Kinutani. Volume One is a shot-for-shot manga interpretation of the first episode, and Volume Two is a retelling of the second episode, "TESTATION". Volume Three is a retelling of the 7th episode: "IDOLATOR". Volume Four covers episode 14: "Â¥â‚¬$", and Volume Five is "NOT EQUAL".Game developer Nexon had developed an online First-Person Shooter based on the series. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: First Assault Online launched in December 2015, and was available through Nexon's website and Steam, but came to a close on December 6th, 2017.You can watch the series on Hulu (only in the U.S.) and on Adult Swim. Due to providing funding for the series, [adult swim] holds permanent broadcasting rights. It is part of Toonami's "Regular Rotation" of shows they permanently own the airing rights to.The series has also made an appearance in various Japanese Pachislot gaming machines, usually seen in pachinko parlors in cities. Tie-in games were made based on the SAC universe, one for the Playstation 2 and the Playstation Portable.Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, the third and fourth seasons that take place after Solid State Society, can be found on Netflix.

The problem is that a CIA liaison officer was present in their net dive room, so the Major gets him out of the room by informing him that Niihama Prefectural Police were able to find evidence of a murder and they need to watch it. This gives Ishikawa enough time to break into the CIA archives and determine if Project Sunset is connected to Batou's time as a JGSDF Ranger.

The "illegal" part mostly comes from the fact that "ghost dubbing", as it's called, requires the subject to be so thoroughly analyzed that it's taken apart, a process few individuals can survive more than a few times. With all that said, however, it is possible to create lots of copies of the same guy, and one episode deals with a South American revolutionary leader who seemingly has an endless supply of body-doubles...

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_1502e100	comment	Predatory Big Pharma: In the main plot of the first season, the investigation of the Laughing Man incident uncovers a massive conspiracy by the Serano Genomics corporation. To start, Serano is suppressing all knowledge of the Murai vaccine (a cure for the otherwise uncurable disease cyberbrain sclerosis) so they can instead sell costly, long-term nanomachine-based treatments. Worse, some of these nanomachines are actually experimental espionage and military applications, not treatments for cyberbrain sclerosis at all. Serano is, of course, bribing enough politicians to let them get away with using the Japanese public as guinea pigs, and hires assassins to kill anyone who gets too close to the truth.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Son" Guy: Takeshi Kago from "TESTATION" was always physically frail. Prosthetics could have given him a healthy life, but his family's religion forbade cybernetic enhancements. He went against his family's wishes and upgraded to a cyberbrain right before his body finally failed. He had his best friend plant his cyberbrain into an experimental Spider Tank and broke out of the research facility and right up to his parent's house. It took a combination of anti-tank glue ammo and Motoko to hack into and fry his cyberbrain to finally stop it. While Section 9 assumed that he wanted revenge for his family, Motoko thinks she felt his final message, a simple question for acknowledgement. A song called "Beauty Within Us" plays during the episode, with lyrics contextually relating to the singer hating his mother for not accepting who he was.

Throughout the series, they discuss amongst themselves whether or not they have "ghosts". In one conversation, three Tachikomas note how lucky a recently disassembled Tachikoma was because through death it could find out the answer to their question. At the end of season 1, some of the Tachikomas decide to sacrifice themselves in order to protect Batou, indicating that they'd developed an emotional attachment that supersedes their AI programs and may have developed ghosts of their own. At the end of 2nd Gig, the Tachikomas feel no regret for sacrificing the satellite that contains their artificial intelligence in order to prevent a nuclear strike. Fortunately, they are eventually restored.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_18d15922	comment	Title Drop: In "TESTATION," when arriving on the scene with six Tachikomas, the Major introduces themselves as the Mobile Armored Riot Police, which is the name of the franchise in Japanese. The phrase "Stand Alone Complex" is coined and used a few times in the first season, and early on in the second. It is meant to mean a situation where multiple individuals act in a similar way such that it appears there was some sort of coordination between them, referring to the Laughing Man's many impersonators who in turn further his original plans and an early theory on the Individual Eleven until the truth behind the manifesto is discovered. Some of the individual titles in the first season like "JUNGLE CRUISE" and "INTERCEPTER" are also heard. The final episode of Season 1's English subtitle is "STAND ALONE COMPLEX"

Batou comes across the battle, and has to figure out which one of them is the real Major. He calls her name to get their attention, then shoots the one who turns to look at him. At the beginning of "ERASER", the Major does it when she and Aramaki burst into the operating room to see Togusa, who's been shot.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_1eed8e76	comment	The Juggernaut: There are two downplayed examples. The runaway HAW-206 multiped tank in "Testation". Due to the sensitive situation it put Section 9 in, they had to pick their battles with it. Unlike the Tachikomas, this machine was designed for warfare instead of law enforcement, and as such there is very little that can be done to stop it. It's armor is impervious to the weapons used by the Tachikomas, and it has the ability to hack satellites Saito uses to aid in his aim, keeping him from destroying it from a distance. He almost blew its leg off at its joint, but it dodged at the last second. It's only stopped when prototype anti-multiped adhesive weaponry is used to immobilize it and Motoko shorts circuits the cyber-brain installed into it. The Jigabachi helicopters in the second season prove themselves to be too heavily armored for any of Section 9's own weaponry to have any effect on them. However, destroying one was never their intention, as doing so would've added fuel to the fire with the rising tension surrounding the refugee district.

Life can still be difficult and there's still a lot of political and corporate corruption, but Japan is portrayed as a lot less of a technologically advanced Crapsack World and with a lot more people in high places committed to doing right by people, up to and including the second season's Prime Minister.

The few volumes of the manga are faithful retellings of the episode each volume represents, but pad out the story a bit more by creating new scenes. For example, in "TESTATION", certain scenes are extended to give more backstory to Takeshi Kago and his parents. "NOT EQUAL" gives out more details on how Eka Tokura's daughter seized control of the New World Brigade. "Â¥â‚¬$" expands on the backstory of Fem and provides a Freudian Excuse as her motive for wanting to kill Yokose.

A lot of Japanese people don't speak English, so the foreshadowing about the Laughing Man's identity comes under here. The Laughing Man's logo features the quote "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes" from The Catcher in the Rye. He's been hiding out as a deaf-mute at a facility that treats patients with a form of cybernetic autism. For non-Japanese viewers, it would have to be the episode "CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!" There's an individual chat room for each of the people speaking, and the whole time the rooms are being updated (the break is lampshaded with a deletion of the cache on the server). In some posts, it would look unconventional to see a few posts as Shift-JIS art and some Squeeing in another post. In fact, there are also viewers on those chatrooms who are quite attentive. Another case: Each episode has a Japanese title and an English title. They don't often mean the same thing.

This is lampshaded in the Tachikomatic Days omake to the 2nd Gig episode "NUCLEAR POWER", which features the Tachikoma superhero Tachikoman, who's theme song is, needless to say, "Run Rabbit Junk." When the Major regains control of her body and overpowers Sano in "SCANDAL" (with a little help from the Laughing Man), "Flashback Memory Stick", a remix of "Inner Universe" plays.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_33affa42	comment	Government Agency of Fiction: Several, most notably Section 9 itself. The other Sections all have their own territories and obligations, and many take on the roles equivalent to many real life agencies. Section 1 deals with criminal investigations within the territory of Japan. Think FBI. Section 2 is controlled by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. They police any and all matters regarding any illegal testing or experimentation of new biomedical technology or drugs. They would be the ones in charge of the Laughing Man incident if not for the fact that they're backed up by the use of micro-machine technology and therefore can't get involved. (Have to let a neutral, unbiased 3rd party take care of that.) Section 3 deals with drug-related crimes. Trafficking, smuggling, etc. Basically equivalent of the Drug Enforcement Agency. Section 4, seen at the end of 2nd Gig, is a squad of Rangers from the Japan Ground Self Defense Force. Think Green Berets or Navy SEALs. Section 6 deals with intelligence gathering on international crime and terrorism. They have the authority to carry out hits on members of other Sections if they find sufficient evidence to support a crime linked to that person. Think CIA. Section 9 is a cyber-warfare counter-terrorism unit. The blurring of technology and humanity usually means that some form of cyber technology (no matter how small) will be involved in almost any crime committed within Japan.

There are many instances in the series where Motoko, Batou, or the Tachikomas survive free-falls from heights that would easily kill them, but they land with very minimal (if any) damage to themselves or the surroundings.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_397c85c2	comment	Our Clones Are Different: The ethics of cloning is brought up with a highly illegal process known as "Ghost Dubbing". A "ghost" is a person's soul converted into digital data thanks to the cyberization process. Due to mass-production of full-prosthetic bodies, it's possible to build clones (even incubate biological clones and replace with prosthetics as needed) and copy & paste the original inhabitant's soul into the clone bodies, but this kills the original in the process. In the episode "Idolator", Section 9 investigates the repeated appearances of Marcello Jarti, an infamous South American revolutionary who's wanted in numerous countries for drug trafficking. Section 9 is curious why it's always the same person who shows up every time, despite a track record of each one being arrested or killed. Each time a new one shows up, a professional determines that it is indeed the real Marcello Jarti. By the end of the episode, it's revealed that he's been building dozens of clones of himself for countless years, and each one has a perfect copy of his soul, memories, personality, and ideologies up to the point of release, at which point they become individuals with whatever path they take in life.

This is because Togusa is both a family man and the member of the team with the least cybernetic upgrades and stood a real chance of getting killed in the ensuing purge. Of course this nearly backfired when Togusa, freed from jail after the faked deaths of his friends, decided to avenge them by taking down those he believed are responsible. Fortunately Togusa is not quite as alone as he thought himself to be...

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_40ba8b95	type	Memetics in Fiction
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_40ba8b95	comment	Memetics in Fiction: One of the core concepts behind the series is the use of memetics to influence a society that has integrated with technology to the point that people can be hacked and controlled by others if they're not careful. Kenji Kamiyama was ahead of the curve when the series first aired in 2002, as modern internet memes, meme culture, and influence wouldn't begin to take hold until a few years later. The Laughing Man returned to public knowledge when Superintendent-General Daido tried to cover up the conspiracy about the use of interceptors. Section 9 was able to accurately plan that Daido would be attacked by someone under the influence of a virus, but 47 random citizens showed up to all try and kill Daido themselves. It would later be revealed that all 47 people had no connections to each other and did not plan the assault ahead of time, but were all radicalized on the spot because of the return of the Laughing Man and the cultural phenomenon he had become after the initial Laughing Man incident from six years prior. Section 9 would dub this phenomenon a "Stand Alone Complex", which they defined copycat activities which mimic a supposed original that doesn't exist. Nanao Ei's virus was a fabricated ploy to immediately distract the public from the initial corruption charges, and it would have worked if not for Section 9's intervention. The initial Laughing Man incident became such a cultural phenomenon that the initial message of trying to uncover a government conspiracy in front of a live broadcast ended up being remembered by the public more for the spectacle it created than from the message it was presenting. The Major actually has to dig through TV broadcasts to find an original recording of how the incident played out, as it had spread around the net so much that people began to only remember what they wanted to remember about it, specifically the Laughing Man logo itself, which had since been plastered over the weather charts and other parts of the broadcast in reairings. It's like the concept of Gossip Evolution, where the original message is lost and corrupted by each individuals own specific interpretation of what they were told. The second season delves into the concept of using multiple Stand Alone Complexes to persuade and influence public opinion on certain subjects, such as the intentional spreading of misinformation (what would be dubbed as "Fake News" in the real world) and memetics to convince an entire population to show hostility against minority groups.

They do come back though. In the second season, the refugee island of Dejima is spared from being nuked, and Gouda eventually gets his comeuppance, but Kuze is murdered in the process, and the Tachikomas have (again) sacrificed themselves to stop the worst-case scenario from happening. Though, in this case, Section 9 tried using Uchikomas instead, since they were suppose to be a superior model. They were less than pleased with how they performed.

Motoko gets frightened by the pace of their AIs' development about two thirds of the way through the first series and orders them decommissioned, but after Section 9 goes on the run, three surviving Tachikomas make a Heroic Sacrifice to save Batou and she realizes she made a mistake: the Tachkomas had instead developed into Benevolent A.I. with the capacity for self-sacrifice. She has them recommissioned in 2nd Gig's premiere and even adjusts their synchronization process so they can retain individuality.

In Cold War-era publications, this was called the Ameri-Soviet Union. The American Empire (Imperial Americana) makes up the largest part of the country, consisting of: Nebraska, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansaw, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Florida, and the District of Columbia.

It was thanks to Section 9's help that not only was a nuclear disaster averted, but the cabinet backed down after realizing that removing her from office in the aftermath would've started another political scandal.

Later on when the team starts searching for Jarti in the warehouse, Batou's encounter with Kanekichi Gondo in the men's bathroom plays out differently. Togusa also ends up saving Motoko by shooting one of the Jarti clones in the head just as he gets Motoko in a sleeper hold. "Â¥â‚¬$" plays out differently from the episode as well, specifically by having Fem get the jump on Motoko, resulting in a drawn out fight between them after Motoko's left arm gets nicked by one of Fem's shotgun coins. The fight doesn't end until Batou finally steps in and grabs Fem, just before she's about to drive a spike through Motoko's eye. Fem is also given an extensive backstory to justify her desire to assassinate Yokose Kanemoto.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_62259825	comment	Nintendo Hard: The Stand Alone Complex video game is subject to this. Particularly because, like the anime, it assumes that Viewers Are Geniuses and subjects the player to some serious Trial-and-Error Gameplay (such as the first level, where the only real way to gauge if a distance is short enough to not get sniped is to attempt it), a control scheme comparable to Halo with no in-game learning curve (the tutorial is off of the main menu, and the first level assumes you've completely memorized and mastered every single aspect), frequent checkpoints but very infrequent save points, and all while other characters will talk at the bottom of the screen about very important things in the level and plot that won't be repeated if you happened to miss it because you were busy trying not to die. It doesn't help that the dialogue itself assumes not only once again that Viewers Are Geniuses, but that their full attention is dedicated to listening. It should also be noted that many of the Play Station 2 game's conventions of gameplay and interface were lifted almost directly from Oni, a game published several years before. However, Oni itself was inspired almost entirely by Ghost in the Shell, bringing the inspiration full-circle.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_6267a414	comment	Stamp of Rejection: Implied; Dr. Hisashi Imakurusu oversaw a panel that reviewed the Murai vaccine as a treatment for Cyberbrain Sclerosis. Despite the vaccine's efficacy (and the lack of any alternative treatment), due to Murai's inability to offer an explanation of why it worked and Imakurusu's jealousy due to his own failed work at treating Cyberbrain Sclerosis, Imakurusu and his panel had a stamp custom-made that read "Approval Denied" to reject the vaccine. Ironically, by the time of the series Imakarusu had himself developed Cyberbrain Sclerosis and kept himself alive using the vaccine he personally oversaw the rejection of. While the stamp itself is never seen, the existence of such a custom-made stamp is used to suggest the truth of personal motive for rejecting the vaccine.

When they learn that a computing device designed to assist Saito in sniping was not going to be put into use, they begin to address the issues of robotic A.I.s and androids looking and acting human, noting that the Operator androids seem to blend in just fine because they were designed to carry out simple tasks, but didn't have A.I.s that could question their own programming. The conversation drifts towards the genetic structure in humans and their offspring, which itself eventually leads to the them questioning the concept of death, and what would happen if they were to be scrapped. One tachikoma seems to think that the Major doesn't care too much for them, and think that by acting more "robotic", specifically speaking in monotone voices, she might be more comfortable in accepting them. It was too hard of an act for them to continue pulling off after she left the room.

In the real world, anyone with military or police training would tell you that 11 feet is the bare minimum distance you need to hold a gun up to someone, giving you enough time and distance to react if someone were to try and pull a fast one like Cruzkova did with her hidden knife. It would be safe enough to apprehend her only after Batou showed up as backup. Although it made for a more intense scene, Motoko needlessly put herself in harm's way. An offscreen moment for Gouda in 2nd Gig that gets him into a lot of trouble down the line. When manufacturing your own terrorist group, it's generally a good idea to give them something remotely resembling a coherent ideology. The refugee sniper who fired the first shot. Although this was thanks to the JMSDF's jamming stopping Kuze from keeping a lid on them, it ended up lighting the powder keg between the refugees and the armed forces.

The main twist being that no such terrorist actually exists; the entire movement was caused by people imitating the idea of such a terrorist. The nearest thing to an actual Laughing Man was just a very skilled hacker who only wanted to expose a medical malpractice scandal and created the general idea in the process (but the "motive" of the movement took on a life of its own). The Human Liberation Front is a terrorist organisation consisting of anti-cyborg extremists (who're noted to be pretty dangerous in a fight despite their lack of any cyberware). The second season's Individual Eleven arc seems to be a fairly mundane plot involving attempts to fight for the rights of refugees. Until it turns out their movement was initially faked by infecting people with a virus in an attempt to create an artificial Stand Alone Complex.

She was having difficulty adjusting to a new arm because it came with software that was conflicting with other software programs her cyberbrain was already using. Batou ends up losing a fight against Kuze. Kuze takes a metal pole and jams it into Batou's shoulder, pinning him to the ground, and ultimately allowing him to escape.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_9981590a	comment	Anti-Escapism Aesop: in episode "Runaway Tachikoma", Motoko ends up brain diving into a cyberbrain that a Tachikoma found. Inside the cyberbrain was a whole audience of people who were watching a movie, along with the director who created it. The movie was so good, that the people willingly chose to stay there, as they never get bored of it. Motoko sees the movie for herself and admits that it is a good movie, but harmful, as it is not real and therefore not meaningful.

They establish their existence in "JUNGLE CRUISE" with the CIA operatives who are chasing after Marco Amoretti, but various news reports in 2nd Gig tell of their aggressive foreign policies and pressuring of Japan into signing a treaty that would almost entirely benefit them. They're also the ones who launched the nuclear missile at Dejima, though Gouda managed to trick them into thinking the refugees presented a legitimate threat to them.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_9b0f37de	comment	Contemplate Our Navels: In-universe: The Tachikomas' tendency to do this makes Motoko worry about their efficiency as fighting machines and that they might become too intelligent. Batou has a rather lengthy inquisitive conversation with Gouda when the two meet up at the site of the Individual Eleven's (minus Kuze) cluster suicide. They ping-pong a discussion about dreams of power; what would drive a person to such extremes, and how they could possibly succeed with their wild-eyed intentions. They agree it's all factored on desire, knowledge, and an "X factor," pure luck. However, Batou was actually prodding at Gouda to see if he could get him to admit to following any of these dogmatic ideals himself- since Section 9 correctly suspects Gouda is quietly brewing ominous plans in secrecy. But, he's effectively caught on, kept all his bases covered, and behaved so passively and resigned thus far, he's shown not a shred of nervousness at any given time, which would help give him away as "guilty." By the time they finish speaking, you could cut the tension in the air with a knife. In the end, Batou manages to insult Gouda's pride just enough that Gouda reveals something that only the creator of the Individual 11 virus could know, and he challenges Section 9 to try and stop his plan.

At the end of the game, while Motoko is engaged in melee combat with a Criminal DoppelgÃ¤nger of herself, Batou figures out which one is the real Motoko when the fake responds to him calling out her name, and shoots her accordingly. He knew the real Motoko isn't that easily distracted.

Best part: the enhancing does almost bupkis for the investigation. Togusa's "Eureka!" Moment comes after hours of pointless enhancing when he comes to a picture of a mirror that doesn't reflect a camera. This is when he realizes that the pictures were taken with the (minimally-enhanced) subject's eyes. Someone lo-jacked the subject with Nanomachines!.

It can ultimately be fatal. Togusa mentions in a report that it's basically the new incurable disease of the 21st century, just the same has Tuberculosis, AIDS, and cancer proved to be in the 19th and 20th centuries. A solid part of the first season's plot involves uncovering a conspiracy of a viable cure being suppressed by the government for financial manipulation. Cyberbrain Closed Shell Syndrome is something akin to severe online addiction, in which cyberbrain users simply refuse to interact with meatspace unless they're forced to. This means that Togusa's investigation into a facility that treats patients in "PORTRAITZ" has the added wrinkle that the entire grounds are blocked off to help limit the patients' access.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_bf996668	comment	Sliding Scale of Continuity: The first season falls in as a Type 4: Arc-based Episodic continuity- which explicitly identifies each episode as either "Stand Alone" (episodic) or "Complex" (part of the series arc). The episodic ones rarely contain any reference to other episodes. 2nd Gig takes a Type 3 approach- Subtle Continuity. Episodes are split up into Individual, Dividual, and Dual types. While many of the Individual and Dividual episodes may seem like Stand Alone episodes, every episode focuses on at least some minor detail that plays a larger part later on as the entire story builds up. Individual episodes focus on the story in regards to the rising tensions with the refugees in the country and the Individual Eleven. Dual episodes focus on the government's (and more specifically, Gouda's) involvement in the story. Dividual episodes focus more on the members of Section 9 and how they get involved in the whole story.

It's an In-Universe recap of the infamous Laughing Man incident that started it all, and also advances the plot. It consists largely of Motoko, as her avatar, discussing the case in an online chatroom that consists of fully 3D environments with user characters, spectators, and is more like a cyberspace talk-show than IRC. The ending reveals that Motoko, in reality, has been driving a car for the duration of the episode, much to Batou's horror when he realizes, as he's been sitting in the passenger seat of said car.

This forces Section 9 to disband and go into hiding, but they are eventually tracked down one by one and taken into custody (except for the Major, but that's because she's dead.). In Togusa's case, it was a contingency plan to keep him safe if the worst were to happen.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_c4a5ca4	comment	Anime Accent Absence: Justified. Given the use of cybernetics, it isn't hard to imagine downloading a language or vocal processors. The dub attempts to give a British soldier a proper accent in "Poker Face", and in the first season, there's a British secretary woman who doesn't seem to know how to properly pronounce "Aramaki". Played straight in "Angel's Share", where almost none of the ostensibly British characters have British accents. "Captivated" prominently features a Russian character who has no accent whatsoever. Thoroughly averted by the CEO character in the Jameson-type body, who has an extremely strong Texan accent in the dub. Kusanagi even comments on "That lame Texan accent" although they should be technically speaking Japanese, not English.note The Kansai dialect of the Japanese language literally cannot be translated into English. The closest that dubs can mimic it is with Texan or Southern accents, so the series justifies the use of saying "Texan accent" to give viewers some sense of familiarity.

They get tasked with shoveling dirt, which they protest because they're far more advanced and capable of doing more advanced tasks. They decide to challenge a power loader to prove they're worthy of stronger tasks, but all become overconfident and are easily beaten by the site foreman. They go back to shoveling dirt with a new appreciation for the task they're doing.

After paying off the employees, Fem's father was gruesomely killed. Fem and her mother were forced to live on the streets in poverty, but her mother couldn't handle it and hung herself soon after. Fem was taken to an orphanage where she spent the rest of her life learning to become an assassin just to get her revenge.

Turns out it explains a lot of Kuze's past too, and shows how he and The Major met when they were much younger. This does not become explicitly apparent until the end of the season.

At the end of the game, while Motoko is engaged in melee combat with a Criminal DoppelgÃ¤nger of herself, Batou figures out which one is the real Motoko when the fake responds to him calling out her name, and shoots her accordingly.

(Pazu and Borma are still third-stringers, unfortunately, but they get their fair share of action as well.)

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / int_fb01ee16	comment	Cyberpunk / Post-Cyberpunk: Ghost in the Shell has been classified by some commentators as Neo-Cyberpunk or Post-Cyberpunk rather than classic 1980s Cyberpunk, in that the protagonists of GITS work for the government and hunt down terrorists instead of being urban guerrillas and streetpunks fighting against governments and mega-corps. Most noticeably, while GITS shows a global community still suffering from the aftereffects of a third and fourth World War, the society in those nations that we get to see has not utterly collapsed and segregated into corporate wage-slaves living in gated communities ("arcologies") on the one hand and the rest of the population living in dismal slums outside the system. The Japan of GITS, while being something of a police state with government and intelligence service controlling the propaganda permeating the media, still has an urban middle class, nature resorts and traditional society. Even the poor and the refugees in their ghetto are not "invisible" and "falling through the cracks" (except in a social sense). Instead, cyberbrain interconnectedness is widespread and surveillance by public cameras, spy satellites and the Net is all-pervasive.

Because of the sensationalism of the literal Memetic Mutation of the Laughing Man, people from all walks of life come out to try assassinating the commissioner, each claiming to be the real Laughing Man. The police conspirators even had their own fake set up but were totally unprepared for sheer numbers who showed up to take a shot at the commissioner. The kicker is that apparently the real Laughing Man didn't even do a thing other than issue a threat; the imitators did all the work without even being mind-controlled. The episode ultimately takes it to the point of an Overly Long Gag when a decrepit old man walks up to a random beat cop outside and asks him with a completely straight face if this is where the police commissioner is supposed to be assassinated.
