I'm waiting for the day when Togusa is no longer "the newest memeber of Section 9" ^^

I want some new BLOOD in here

::ahem:: I mean new recruits

In SAC: 2nd GIG there are some new recruits. I don't know when they first show up, but I noticed that they were there in Volume 4 of the SAC: 2nd GIG DVD.

There could be a connection to the new Section 9 recruits in the 4th DVD Volume and the episode that featured Motoko testing the potential recruits in the 3rd Volume.

the cover art is a bit lackluster...
