Ikkyu Juku

A year after the end of World War IV, a bomb has gone off in Newport City, killing a major arms dealer who may have ties with a mysterious organisation.

Witness the formation of the legendary Public Security Section 9. When a clandestine organization hacks every car in the city, Kusanagi recruits a lethal team of cyber operatives that includes a badass brawler with Special Forces training, an explosives expert, a technology specialist, and a chain-smoking jack-of-all-trades with a sordid past.

Motoko and Batou work to try to stop a terrorist organization whose symbol is the Scylla.

Tensions are rising in Newport City as demonstrations are held concerning the interests of foreign cartels.
