Hello all you happy people! I hope you’re doing better than I am; I got sick on Friday and I’m only just starting to feel better. But hey, we get more of the Major kicking ass today so that’s all good.
And as always guys, if you want to support me you can subscribe to the website, Patreon, or buy me a hot chocolate.
This is a looooot of technobabble exposition.
Masamune, buddy, look up what a nurse’s uniform actually looks like.
Also, why are does Masamune colour his doctors blue? They’re weird looking like this in the manga, too.
Sleepy Fuchikoma baby.
I do love the Major’s proper uniform.
Hey, we meet the Major’s boyfriend! And no, it’s not Batou.
And Motoko suddenly has light brown hair. That girl must go through a lot of hair dye.
Motoko is only interested in friends with benefits. Bad girlfriend!
Machine pistols suck in real life. Maybe with cybernetic prostheses you can control some of recoil?
In real life, you can’t mind control people so this method of assassination probably wouldn’t work. I don’t see some random artist accepting money to blow himself up. Unless maybe he was really desperate?
Old Ape Face is pretty calm for somebody’s who just had one of their agents blown up.
Who uses cash in the future?
Batou, man, you need to learn not to tease your boss like that.
The cycle of revenge never ends well.
I’m not sure how the Major being bait is less risky?
You’re not that young, honey, and Aramaki isn’t that old.
Batou isn’t full cyborg in this adaptation or in the original manga. The Major might be the only one in Section 9 that’s a full cyborg.
Batou is really pigheaded in both this and the original manga. I mean, he is in other adaptations too, but it’s a little less obvious there?
Yeah, this subplot is going nowhere.
What is it with Section 9 and using their camo whenever they want to talk to somebody?
Why does a criminal organization have an official accountant? Because that looks like an official accountant.
Oh and the deserted factory isn’t actually deserted. Figures.
Think you used enough dynamite there Butch?
I still don’t think think tanks would be useful in a military context.
Armour piercing bullets would make sense in a world populated by cyborgs.
Completely true, but I don’t think you or Togusa are capable of roof-hopping at the moment
Whoops. Left hand versus right hand. That’s why black ops are bad, folks.
Aramaki plays fast and loose with the law, but he has rules. Not true of everybody in the Japanese government, it seems.
Nope. And it has some other tricks up it’s sleeve.
Section 1 is not impressing anybody with its competence today.
Your standard issue big gun. I wonder if the climax of the movie was taken from this chapter? It’s been a while since I’ve read the whole thing through, so I can’t remember.
Yeah, I mean, Togusa should really be dead at the moment.
Wow, did Section 1 ever blow it.
