Is Togusa a cyborg in GITS:Arise?


In the other anime movies and series, it is often mentioned that Togusa is
'natural' and that he is not a cyborg. However, in the last episode of _Arise_
, he obviously got ghost-hacked.

Did I miss something, or is _Arise_ inconsistent with the rest of the anime?
What would be the point of having him on the team if he is just as prone to
hacking as the other members?




He's got a "walkie-talkie" in his brain. I'm not sure, but I suspect his brain
is fully cyberized as part of his job's requirements. You would certainly not
want to be that one idiot shouting tactical information out loud while the
rest are communicating almost instantly via a secured wireless connection.

In the _GITS:SAC_ series when he's in court, his teammates find out they can't
communicate with Togusa because he turned off that module, which means he
already had it at that time. _SAC_ happens later than _Arise_ on the GITS
timeline, so he probably got it installed somewhere at the start of his career
as a cop.
