Ghost In The Shell
Season 02
S02E19 - IN: Chain Reaction of Symmetry – CHAIN REACTION
On Dejima island, a crisis is developing. The refugees have declared their independence from [[Japan]] in an effort to create an autonomous region they can call their own. The Cabinet Intelligence Agency is exploiting the situation in an effort to fan the flames of separatism, with Goda vowing to give Kuze his very best script. With Dejima now cordoned off by officers in riot gear, Section 9 decides to launch a surgical strike against the militant refugees, aimed at capturing Kuze. The belief is that if Kuze is captured, the independence movement in Dejima will die down. Upon arriving in Dejima, Section 9 splits into two units, with Kusanagi and Ishikawa diving the net trying to trace Kuze’s cyberbrain while the others head into Dejima with a spec ops truck and two Tachikoma units. The ground team learns that Kuze has been in Dejima, and garnered a great following among the refugees, while Kusanagi succeeds in locating Kuze’s cyberbrain. Her plan is to hack Kuze’s eyes to determine his whereabouts, but she encounters a vicious backlash after coming into contact with Kuze. The experience rattles Kusanagi, but she succeeds in locating Kuze in a camouflaged harbor in Northeastern Dejima. Section 9 reconvenes and prepares to raid the three fishing trawlers anchored there. While checking out one of the trawlers, Kusanagi discovers a cyberbrain filter and deduces immediately that Kuze is not in the harbor, but before she can relay this information a gunfight erupts between armed refugees and Section 9, leading to the death of a new Section 9 recruit named Yano. Batou hounds Kusanagi for the previous mistake before learning from her that Kuze has gone to Russia with the intention of purchasing plutonium from the [[Russian Mafia]].
