    Synopsis:

    Set in a fractured 2027, the narrative unfolds in the aftermath of a global conflict that has left New Port City struggling to rebuild. A bombing, attributed to a self-propelled mine, throws the city into further instability, quickly followed by the suspicious death of a military figure connected to illicit arms deals. The ensuing investigation draws together disparate individuals: Daisuke Aramaki from Public Security Section, who encounters the enigmatic cyborg operative Motoko Kusanagi; Batou, a seasoned detective with a keen eye for detail; and Togusa, a Niihama Prefectural Police detective navigating two complex cases. As they piece together the events, suspicion falls upon Kusanagi, drawing her into the scrutiny of the 501st Secret Unit. The series explores themes of trust, accountability, and the blurred lines between technology and humanity within a world grappling with the consequences of war.
