This case centers around a tank that has gone rogue. Though the most interesting aspect is that there is no one piloting the tank but the AI. Though the idea that it couldn’t be a dead person turned into a red herring. Takeshi Kago being it. Though it is interesting to learn that being hooked up to that tank is what Kago wanted. Growing with a frail body in this setting, you would assume, Oh, you can have a prosthetic body like we see with Batou. Sadly his parents didn’t allow him, and thus he met his demise at a young age.
You can empathize with Kago in why he wished to be put in that tank. Though it is quite scary that someone dead has had their mind processed in machinery. Though the ambiguous ending of whether Kago wanted revenge is well done. Of course you can understand why he would want revenge against his parents for limiting his lifespan. Though the revenge could have been more, look, I am in this robot now, and I could still be living. That could be the revenge that Kago wanted. The latter here does more damage to his parents’s suffering.
