Added line 49:

*** There's also a few nods to the manga, even in otherwise totally unrelated cases; for example, one where an invisible Section 9 agent interviews someone asking for the current face and name of someone they're looking for, remaining invisible throughout the interview, then departing with a comment on how it must be nice to be a desk jockey.

Changed lines 80 from:

*GuileHero - We can safely classify most of the main cast as this, to one degree or another.

to:

* GuileHero - Aramaki. Without his skill at politicking, Section 9 would not be able to operate. Especially evident at the end of the first season.
** The Major, Batou and Saitou also have elements of this, using mind games to gain the advantage in a fight.

Changed line 101 from:

* MagnificentBastard - Kuze. Aramaki would be one if he were a villain. And how can you forget Kazunoto Gohda?

to:

* MagnificentBastard - Kuze. Aramaki [[GuileHero  would be one if he were a villain]]. And how can you forget Kazunoto Gohda?

reason: Yes, this includes Batou. Mind games in a boxing match, much?

* DefeatMeansFriendship - In Saito's {{flashback}} in ''POKER FACE'', the Major's first words to him after their duel are:

to:

* DefeatMeansFriendship - In [[spoiler:Saito]]'s {{flashback}} in ''POKER FACE'', the Major's first words to him after their duel are:

Added line 85:

* IKnowYouKnowIKnow - In the episode ''POKER FACE'', [[spoiler:Saitou]] thinks that the Major doesn't have control software installed for mid-range aiming, based on her shooting.  It turns out that she was deliberately being inefficient to mislead him, allowing her to blind him with a sort-of ScopeSnipe.

Changed line 127 from:

* ScopeSnipe - [[spoiler:The Major, against Saito... or did she?]] Unlike most of the examples of this trope, he survives.

to:

* ScopeSnipe - [[spoiler:The Major does this to Saitou in a flashback]] in ''POKER FACE''.  Unlike most of the examples of this trope, he survives.

reason: Oops, seems that pothole was redundant...

Changed lines 8 from:

There have been two 26 episode series so far.  The first was ''Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex'', while the second, sequel TV series, is called ''Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Second Gig''.  For [[ColonCancer obvious reasons,]] both of these are usually abbreviated by fans; the first as "GITS:SAC" (pronounced "Git-Sack" by the uncouth) and the second simply as "''2nd Gig''".  There has also been a ''Stand Alone Complex'' MadeForTVMovie set after ''2nd Gig'', called ''[[ColonCancer Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society]]''.
