* Motoko killing Gouda. He may have ensured that he was technically acting within the law, but PM Kayabuki then issues a directive authorizing that he is a national asset that must be retained at any cost. This means that when he declares his intention to defect to the American Empire after suggesting that Aramaki was bluffing, he is literally dead wrong. Motoko immediately shreds him with a burst of machine gun fire.
