After the "Laughing Man" investigation concluded, Japan"s newly elected Prime Minister Youko Kayabuki reactivated Section 9 in a nation grappling with digital vulnerability to counter the ongoing menace of cyber‑terrorism.
A faction calling itself "The Individual Eleven" has started carrying out terror attacks throughout Japan. While Motoko Kusanagi, Daisuke Aramaki, Batou and the rest of Section 9 probe this fresh threat, the government confronts another emergency: refugees fleeing the Third World War arrive seeking shelter in Japan. Yet each time the special‑operations squad confronts Gouda Kazundo—a senior operative of the Cabinet Intelligence Service—in their pursuit, they grow suspicious that he might be complicit, and that the refugee influx and The Individual Eleven are more intertwined than they first thought amid escalating tensions and mounting public fear.
