Ghost in the Shell Wiki

Summary[]

Kusanagi enters a chat room dedicated to The Laughing Man. Various crackpot (and a few plausible) theories are passed around JFK-style as the chat room members view various bits of evidence from the Laughing Man case. While in the chat room Kusanagi hones in on an older man sitting at the table who seems to have more knowledge about the Laughing Man incidents than the others in the room. After confronting the man and exchanging information with him, Kusanagi and the moderator of the chat room are suddenly transferred out of the chat room, with unexpected results.

Soundtrack connections[]

The soundtrack for this episode is Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex OST Disc 1.

Fish ~ Silent Cruise plays at 21:35 during forced transfer of the moderator.
