GITS 2: Downright meek?
editHow is that an encyclopaedic tone? Not to mention inaccurate. Considering he was a main character in this film instead of a supporting one don't you think we could muster up some extra lines? Some accurate ones at that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.160.56 (talk) 00:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
"In the manga, he is cybernetic like all other members."
editThis statement is ambiguous and potentially incorrect. In the English manga (ISBN 978-1-935-42901-2), while it is apparent that he has a cyberbrain, there are several instances where it is apparent he is not a cyborg. He sustains serious injuries in Chapters 8 and 10, losing a lot of blood while fighting Section 1, and breaking several bones after Major protects him from an explosion, respectively. Additionally, in Chapter 3 when he and the Major are tracing the garbage men they have this exchange about a colleague's sharpshooting:
Togusa: "So is it really true she can hit a pinhead with a 3.5" barrel Seburo(tm) SNAB at 25 yards, firing twelve rounds in three seconds?"
Motoko: "Hey, Togusa, *everyone* can do that... except you and Saito..."
Saito being generally referred to in Ghost in the Shell media as the second least cyberized member, after Togusa (and Chief Aramaki). I did find a reference in Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human Error Processor where Togusa almost accidentally purchases a sandwich "designed for a human", and it's clear he intends the sandwich for himself.
