In the sequel, a person known as Motoko Aramaki appears. However, she assumes a "horror movie"-style pose, and they both laugh at the end.

She does, however, discuss seriously whether she is a "real" person with her girlfriend. She also smiles frequently, and gives the "V" for victory to her boyfriend. On assignment, Motoko has a commanding presence, but also trades insults with her troops, like calls Aramaki "Ape Face" as well as other members in Public Security Section 9, or when the Puppetmaster reveals the "Motokos" that exist in the minds of those who know her, Aramaki's "Motoko" is sticking her tongue out.
