The Niners are inherently protective toward one another. Some of that is the "unit cohesion" Aramaki and the Major fostered among the group, and some of that is natural growth. Nonetheless, there's a special place in Batou's mechanized heart for the most vulnerable-yet no less valiant-of the team. It could be argued the same could be said of Kusanagi.
Everyone sees Togusa as fleshy, family-driven little brother. The rest of them are mostly metal, with no children. Edit: I think Togusa is also the only one without military experience, he was poached as a cop.
Now. you can see why would be stupid integrate implants into our brains. And lot people today commit mass shooting without excuse of having mind hijacked.
FUCK i just realized the car that speeds after togusa's in the very beginning is batou's stolen car - the one stolen by THE MAJOR, EXPERT CARJACKER she really wasn't kidding about being there the whole time smh
I guess it does make complete sense and not a cop out then if you pay attention closely. It's been a minute since I've seen the movie but I didn't pick up on that.
Man I wish I could love this movie just for this scene because it's such a tense moment but it's immediately ruined only a few seconds after you cut it off. (And I'm a Togusa fan.)
