Ghost in the Shell: ARISE ist zeitlich gesehen vor den bereits erschienenen GitS-Filmen und -Serien einzuordnen und stellt die erweiterte TV-Fassung der gleichnamigen OVAs dar. Die Handlung dreht sich um politische Intrigen, Bestechung, illegalen Waffenhandel und Cyberterrorismus - im Zentrum stehen aber vor allem die Ereignisse, die zur Bildung von Sektion 9 in der letztendlichen Besetzung geführt haben und zudem wird Motoko Kusanagis Vergangenheit beleuchtet.
