What If Major Never Lost Her Humanity?

In Ghost in the Shell, Major, a human who’s been turned into a cyborg, works as a special operative hunting down dangerous criminals. As she uncovers secrets about her past, she starts questioning who she really is and whether she’s still truly human or just a machine.

Some fans believe Major’s journey is about reconnecting with her lost humanity, even though she’s mostly robotic. What if she had never learned about her past? Would she have been content to stay as a cyborg soldier, serving without doubts?

A key moment in the film is when Major faces off against the hacker, realizing that her memories might have been altered. This is a turning point because it makes her question everything she’s known about herself. What if Major had never discovered the truth about her origins? Would she still have been the same?

Imagine a prequel where we see Major’s transformation from human to cyborg or a sequel where Major learns to fully embrace both her human and cyborg sides, finding peace with who she is.

In the end, Ghost in the Shell reminds us that no matter how much we change, it’s the core of who we are that truly matters.
