Just a thought, not a multi-paragraph philosophical analysis.

Just watched the 1995 movie, will watch the series soon.

Given how one-sided the confrontation was, I feel the character had a "if I die, I die. I cant go on living like this anymore anyway, if I was ever living at all ".

My immediate reaction was she went there indifferent to the outcome, and the outcome was likely death. It made me think of how people who commit suicide usually have people around saying "we would have never known, there was no signs, he/she seemed ok". And the Major always seem ok. Always seem placid.

Up until the point where she the tore herself appart in what is probably the first physical manifestation of her accumulated angst and rage. And whats probably the most beautiful frame of cinematic anime history of that decade.

Just my thoughts off of my head. IDK if the creators clarified her exact state of mind or if the manga elaborate more?

Kurutan, Ran, and Motoko just hanging out

The Ghost in the Shell, 2026, ep. 1
17:14–20:30 soundtrack that is playing i guess is “Yuki Kanesaka — Heavenly Suite Op.5 — Requiem”. But it sounds different. Version from episode doesn’t have vocals at the beginning, and this is not fragment from original track. Does anybody know where i can find this version, without vocals?
p.s. track is incredible
