Jeebus... it's been too long.
I'll have to go back and watch it some time.

I've also decided that I need a tachikoma.

But then why try to kill gren (twice) in jupiter jazz? Another epic set of lines there:

"Vicious! Lin died protecting you, his soul is lost!" "He wasn't protecting me, he was protecting the order."

Nope, light bending camouflage suit from Ghost ITS ftw. There will always be a round to counter any armor but if they can't see you... I do agree that the ' comas talk way too much.

Good point. Honestly, I'd have to go back and re-watch it (yet again) to try to find all the possible motivations.
Actually, if I remember, didn't Gren have something over Vicious? Like some information or some sort of debt from the past?
