Her fatalistic attitude towards her diving thoroughly confounds Batou. She goes scuba diving for relaxation, although she is so heavy that she would sink like an anchor if any malfunction in her buoyancy devices were to occur. In fact, she speculates on the possibility that she's entirely synthetic, with artificially generated memories designed to fool her into thinking she was once human.

Since she has a full cybernetic body, she is not certain her ghost - her soul - retains any humanity. She usually wields an M-23 submachine gun that, while fictional, bears a striking resemblance to a P90 - though with the magazine mounted vertically on the underside instead of horizontally as is the case with the P-90. Kusanagi is often contemplative and brooding, whilst her counterpart Batou is more extroverted and lively. However, despite the number of cyborgs in Section 9, Kusanagi hand-picks Togusa, who has undergone only minimal brain modification, to balance the roster, an interesting expression of her belief that homogeneity is a weakness and that versatility is a strength. She is a very effective leader and is able to use her wits and cybernetic body in bringing criminals to justice.

Kusanagi is the main protagonist in the movie Ghost in the Shell, where she is Aramaki's second in command in Section 9.

Motoko Kusanagi's character is distinctly different in the movies because Ghost in the Shell (1995) and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence both follow one continuous time-line that is separate from the anime series as well as the original manga from which it is derived. He works for Section One, and they have been dating for seven months. In the second edition, released on November 17, 2004, the scene is completely unedited.Īnother fact about her sexuality is that she has a boyfriend during a latter story in the manga. Ultimately, Shirow decided it wasn't important to the plot. This panel was cut from the original American release of the manga, as it would have entailed giving the book an "adults only" rating. Whatever the technical rationale for all this, Shirow said in his poster-book, Intron Depot 1, that "I drew an all-girl orgy because I didn't want to draw some guy's butt." When Batou accidentally crashes Motoko's panel while trying to contact her, he experiences intense pain since he is receiving stimulation for organs and bodily parts which he does not possess. Homosexual e-sex is safe because the participants have the same body parts being stimulated (in Motoko's three-way panel, the fondling of a breast). Heterosexual e-sex is especially illegal, because such acts entail immense pain, caused by the fact that nerves stimulated by one user are stimulated simultaneously and blindly in another user. These nerves render her e-sex acts especially pleasurable therefore, she makes a good profit from these activities.

Motoko's body is one of the most advanced models on the market, possessing 16²/cm² skin tactile elements, meaning she has a greatly heightened sense of touch. This is because it ties together the users' nervous systems to allow shared simultaneous sensations such intimate connections have the potential for serious complications, as illustrated by the accidental arrival of Batou. This splash panel is apparently a "side business" for Motoko, as stated by Masamune in the back of the manga collection.Īpparently, "e-sex" (as depicted in the splash panel) is a lucrative but illegal act. The in-universe explanation for the lesbian sex panel seems to be that cyborgs of the same gender are especially compatible. She participates in a lesbian sex splash panel and has a boyfriend. She has a much more slapstick, vivacious, and sexy personality. It is possible she is one of the "children" Motoko talked of creating along with her opponents. She identifies herself as containing "Motoko Kusanagi" elements, along with Project 2501, the Puppetmaster. In the sequel, a person known as Motoko Aramaki appears. However, she assumes a "horror movie"-style pose, and they both laugh at the end. She does, however, discuss seriously whether she is a "real" person with her girlfriend. She also smiles frequently, and gives the "V" for victory to her boyfriend. On assignment, Motoko has a commanding presence, but also trades insults with her troops, like calls Aramaki "Ape Face" as well as other members in Public Security Section 9, or when the Puppetmaster reveals the "Motokos" that exist in the minds of those who know her, Aramaki's "Motoko" is sticking her tongue out.
