  • I think for this franchise it’s usefull to distinguish between the Manga and the Animes/Films (or at the very least the first 2 Films). While you description is quite fitting for the Kusanagi depicted in the Manga, the Film version of her is (afaict) conceptually beyond sexualisation. In the film Gots1 the scene on the boat or at the conclusion of the fight in the basin her disregard to her baked body is explicitly put in contrast to the rection from Batou. Even her merging with the puppetmaster while in a sense sexual is not treated as such and is rather depicted as a Mental Exchange of Ideas and an ascension from their current forms.
