sequel bug

Oshii Mamoru's GIS in the Shell is more dignified and gloomy than Kamiyama's TV version and Shirou Masamune's original comics, focusing on the discussion of soul, life and body. Innocence continues this tradition, but I personally feel that it has not gone much further than the previous work, and the picture performance is too complicated and uncomfortable to look at. In addition, there is a BUG in the plot: In GIS, Motoko and 2501 have been merged into one, and the two exchanged the demise of the self for the birth of a new will - at the end, the loli was already a character with a new soul instead of Motoko , why is there still a soul claiming to be a prime son in the innocence? Where is the idea of 2501 "Death gives meaning to life" in GIS? The concept that memory is not equal to soul should also be accepted by Director Mamoru Oshii. Could it be that he forgot what happened before when writing the script?

Lin: We got loyalty even in my line.
Bateau: There's loyalty that protects secrets and loyalty that projects the truth. You cannot serve both masters, so which loyalty is yours?
