the second season, "2nd gig", set two years after the events of the first season, explores the political and social ramifications of the two world wars that took place prior to the events of the series. at the time of the third and the fourth world wars, about three million asians became refugees and were invited into japan as a source of cheap labor. these "invited refugees", based on the reclaimed island of dejima, soon became unemployed in the post-war period, and their social unrest borders on outright war. section 9's involvement in the refugee issue begins after they successfully stop a hostage crisis caused by a domestic terrorist group known as the individual eleven, after which newly elected prime minister yoko kayabuki officially reinstates the organization. the group seems to be modeling themselves after the may 15 incident, where a group of naval officers assassinated the prime minister and then gained the support of the public, and hope to stir up the refugees' spirits by fighting for them against the japanese government. the group also comes into contact with kazundo goda, head of the cabinet intelligence service, who gets assistance from the group in defusing several instances between the refugees as well as assisting him in transporting plutonium through dejima, result in several failures and refugee deaths, further straining relations. section 9 ultimately discovers that goda has been manipulating both events behind the scenes, leaking the social virus that creates the individual eleven ideology and creating a new stand alone complex, as well as the intentional failures with the refugees. however, he cannot account for the charismatic hideo kuze who genuinely believes in the best for the refugees and helps rally for their independence from japan. throughout the investigation, kusanagi discovers she may know kuze from her childhood. ultimately, goda is found guilty of his part in the refugee incidents and killed before he can defect to the american empire, but not before his ministrations also result in the death of kuze.
