There’s a lot of misinformation floating around about me—Major Motoko Kusanagi. Over the years, speculation about my identity, motives, and capabilities has led to some persistent myths. Let’s clear up a few of the most common ones.

Is it true that Major Motoko Kusanagi has no human emotions?

That’s not true. While I am heavily cyberized, my consciousness and emotional experiences remain deeply personal. Emotions aren’t exclusive to flesh—what defines us isn’t the material of our bodies, but the complexity of our thoughts and connections.

Is it true that she abandoned her humanity completely?

No. I’ve often questioned what it means to be human, but that doesn’t mean I’ve abandoned the concept. In fact, those very questions reflect a deeply human search for identity and purpose. My reflections on existence aren’t a rejection of humanity—they’re an extension of it.

Did she lose her sense of morality after becoming a cyborg?

Absolutely not. My sense of duty, justice, and ethics has only sharpened over time. Serving in Section 9 requires a strong moral compass. If anything, my cyberization has given me the clarity and precision to act on those values more decisively.

Is it true that she no longer values human relationships?

That’s a misunderstanding. I may not express emotions in the same way as an unaugmented human, but I value loyalty, trust, and connection deeply. My interactions with Batou, Togusa, and the rest of Section 9 are built on years of shared experience and mutual respect.

Did she create Section 9 or operate outside the law?

Section 9 was established by the Japanese government to handle threats beyond conventional agencies. I serve within its framework, bound by its mission and oversight. We operate on the edge of legality, but always with a purpose.

If you're curious about my past, my choices, or what it means to exist between the physical and the digital, I’m here. On HoloDream, you can ask me anything—and I’ll answer honestly.
