In the episode 24 of GITS SAC 2nd GIG it becomes apparent that the member of Section 9, usually referred to as Proto, is actually not a human, but a "biodroid" prototype. What exactly is it and how different it is from cyberized people and androids?
1 Answer
As the name suggests, a bioroid is an android, but built with human body parts-- except that they don't have a human brain.
The Major is a cyberized human, and an android is the least human of the three.

Saying he doesn't have a "human" brain is a bit misleading. In Appleseed (a related work from the same author) Bioroids are essentially clones/engineered humans, so by default have "human" (ish) brains. Perhaps you meant they don't have a brain from an "actual" human? Commented Jul 21, 2014 at 14:44

3We are not talking about Appleseed. I looked up Appleseed's bioroid definition as well, and it's different. Are GiTS bioroids the same? Think about Proto, who is GiTS' biorod, by the end of the show.– YotaruCommented Jul 21, 2014 at 23:03
