Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
The story continues to follow the adventures of Section 9's top members, Motoko Kusanagi, Batou, and Togusa. The series maintains an episodic format and portrays Section 9 dealing with political issues such as invited refugees and nuclear intrigue. Another government institution, the Information Bureau of the Cabinet, comes up head-to-head against them. And a terrorist entity who calls itself the "Individual Eleven" joins the set.
Kuze manages to take down the jamming plane, but becomes trapped in rubble with the Major. The Tachikomas begin discussing what to do about the nuclear submarine they have spotted, and Batou manages to convince the special forces that have been sent to kill them to listen to him.
The tables seem to be turning in favor of Section 9, but the nuclear missile is still being prepared for launch.
