The anime#39;s story is set in 2027, one year after the finish of the fourth non-atomic war. New Port City is as yet reeling from the war#39;s outcome when it endures a besieging caused by a self-pushed mine. At that point, a military part embroiled in arms-managing rewards is gunned down. Amid the examination, Public Security Section#39;s Daisuke Aramaki experiences Motoko Kusanagi, the cyborg wizard-level programmer doled out to the military#39;s 501st Secret Unit. Batou, a man with the quot;eye that does not rest,quot; suspects that Kusanagi is the one behind the bombarding. The Niihama Prefectural Police investigator Togusa is seeking after his own double instances of the shooting demise and a whore#39;s murder. Motoko herself is being viewed by the 501st Secret Unit#39;s head Kurutsu and cyborg specialists.
Posing as lovers on vacation, Motoko and Batou work to try to stop a terrorist organization whose symbol is the Scrasath. Meanwhile, Togusa investigates a murder of a man who possessed a prosthetic leg manufactured by the Mermaid's Leg corporation.
