* [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]]: Years after the first volume was published Shirow admitted that the only reason he drew an all girl orgy was because he "didn't want to draw some guy's butt."

* [[Mythology Gag]]: [[Dominion Tank Police|Anna and Uni Puma]] show up as a couple of merchants in the streets of Etorofu. They get about 2 pages worth of dialogue. A Fuchikoma tries to barter with them for a piece of merchandise, but ends up accidentally stealing it when it ran off. Anna was pissed and grabs a machine gun, but Uni figures it was probably stolen merchandise in the first place anyway and says to just let it go.

* [[Rule of Cool]]: Various footnotes explain that some of the vehicles are not drawn to scale, and that cyberspace wouldn't really "look" like ''anything'' - but it's cooler when it does. They even go so far to point out when a character's suggestions and line of thinking wouldn't actually work.

* [[Sex By Proxy]]: Batou gets hit with this in-story. Aramaki orders him to contact Motoko and pull her off leave, so he proceeds to dive into her mind...while she's in the threesome. As noted elsewhere, it's not a pleasant experience for him. The scene got heavily censored in the original US release, but was included in the reprint (the page picture). Kodansha's latest version removes it entirely, but dialogue makes it clear what's going on.

* [[Shout Out]]: The Puppet Master plans to merge his mind with Motoko's and become the progenitor of a new species who would have godlike powers over cyberspace. This is reminiscent of Wintermute's plan to merge with ''[[Neuromancer]]''.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: The margins are crammed with Shirow's footnotes informing the reader that he knows very well that cyberspace doesn't look like that, and this plane wouldn't actually be that large, or that 16^2 refers to the size of the micromachines used for skin sensitivity, and not the amount of artificial nerve endings per square centimeters. The author notes at the end of the first manga shows he really REALLY did his homework with political, technological, theological, and philosophical themes presented.

* [[Situational Sexuality]]: Heterosexual brainsex is impossible for biological reasons, so the Major's cyber orgy is with other girls. (Actually, Masamune just didn't want to draw a guy's butt.)
