Goosebumps! This was a classic. The power came from "Run Rabbit Jack" which was the soundtrack normally used during action scenes. And this one lasted too long, so when the end neared you started wondering.. "will the extend on Rabbit, will the scene end with an abrupt (and maybe unwanted) (death?) scene.. what?!". And then... Suddenly.. The divine sounding voice of Origa.. Oh My ..... #classic
If those figurine setsls depicting Kusanagi, Batou, and Togusa [the description might have mentioned "triple the trouble for e-criminals and terrorists" ] are anything to go by, it may be that here, Togusa has grown into the front-line super-agent he was always meant to be.
The whole bunch seems to have grown a bit by this point. (Elsewhere in "SSS", Saito's sniper duel dares us to call him a Poker Star.) Togusa's more of a tactician. The Tachikoma wrestle brutish cyborg goons. Batou and the Major, well, they get on in appropriate terms. EDIT: Did she HEADBUTT that android? I don't think she'd done that to an opponent before
0:33 Those guys REALLY underestimated Section 9. I guess they figured it all was a matter of firepower, and forgot about maneuverability and stealth. Even the most vulnerable of the bunch is shown bringing it ("the sneak"? "ninjutsu"?) here.
He not only has unspecified physical enhancements in "SSS", but (1) his experience in Section 9 has given him a long-term boost and (2) when explicitly teamed with Batou and/or Kusanagi herself, he seems more confident. (While with Batou, he almost nailed a human-trafficking cyborg with her own arm-mounted petard in "Captivator". In "Not Equal", he one-handed an automatic rifle. Never mind his "AHA!" in Motoko's presence that led to cracking the "Laughing Man" case.)
His gutsiness in this bit of "Solid State Society" has multiple sources: -1 At the time of this TV-movie, he got some unspecified below-the-neck augmentation, though the degree of such would probably put him on a par with Ishikawa or Pazu rather than Saito. -2 His experience with Section 9 has qualified him to be a field commander. It is quite possible that being frequently teamed with Batou and/or the Major figures in. -2a His professionalism is key to his "keeping pace" with his fellow Niners. Back in "SAC" Episode 1, we saw him help storm a building. -3 He's duly confident because his "peeps" are with him.
Life is so cheap in the Japanese Empire. Seems odd for an Era when humanity has dumped such vast resources into cybernetics solely for prolonging life, that are highly accessible to the lower classes. Wish I had been born 200 years from now. I'd love to see an Era when humans have true connectivity. Even if I was born on Mars to a waste collection specialist, or morgue mushroom farmers...
