Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Pyrophoric Cult (2015)

Fire-Starter, mentioned in previous episodes but never fully explored, is the central threat in PC, pushed to the fore when a group of cyber-brain engineers are murdered. Discovering why the killings happened and why those specific individuals were targeted is a mystery that the Section 9 team must solve.
The entry picks up some loose ends that were left after Border 4: Ghost Stands Alone (2014), and it leads directly into GitS: The New Movie (2015). That means it's a bridge narrative, a situation that's very apparent, given that it has no end - it's an enjoyable adventure for the most part, but it feels like half a story. The dual purpose of Pyrophoric Cult defines it, completely, so you'll need to explore the other works in order to get the most from it.
