Where does the name Buttetsu come from? Citing the source in the article is probably best, as it's totally unknown to me, and probably 99% of other non-japanese speakers.
The Bateau Vs Batou case was disputed years ago and again.-- Neuromancien 10:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
More than one place has mentioned that Batou is based off Steven Seagal appearance-wise, since Seagal was a big influence on Shirow, but does anyone know where specifically this was said so I can site it in the article? -- Katsuhagi 23:07, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Was it world war IV or world war III? I'm going to change it to three since there is little mention of a number in the series, only the "last world war." It makes more logical sense to me for it to be world war three.-- Offkilter 02:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Batou uses the same Seburo SNAB as the rest of section 9 as his handgun in the manga. In the 1995 film he carries an IMI Jericho variant, in actual fact a fictional one termed the 942 and chambered for .50AE. This gun is also his primary handgun in Innocence but he also carries a Smith & Wesson Tactical Compact in .40S&W as a backup, which is seen in the convenience store scene. He carries an FN/Browning High Power chambered in .45ACP for most of the two TV series, with the G33AV referred to here only cropping up in one scene (training rookies at the shooting range, I forget which episode). The Tokyo Marui version predates the anime incarnation, but was created and offered to the makers of the series specifically as a publicity tie-in, and uses their existing G26 model as a chassis to add the extra garnish. I'll be updating this soon, but I wonder if a new section for weapons ought to be created. YourMessageHere 03:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Everyone in France knows that "Bato" is a mistaken romanization of "Bateau". "バトー"'s correct spelling is not "Batō", "Batou" nor "Batoh" but actually "Bateau" French for "boat" ("batou" doesn't exist). GITS international version -US vers.- by Kenji Kawai 1996 OST CD. I suggest to use the real name for Bateau or to mention it in a trivia note. Here's another evidence, screenshot from the Extra "character profiles" featured in Mamoru Oshii's Ghost In The Shell '95 (French original DVD edition, 2001 Pathé Europa). At last here's a last evidence, screenshot from the credits of GITS 1995 International Version (US) (sorry for the green bars its macrovision protection, if you don't believe just check the US DVD's credits). So as you can see, the official name in both Japan, France and the US is "BATEAU", so tell me why the hell did you used fansub amateurish material as source instead of licensed products?

Well obviously there isn't a section on SSS yet. I'm a bit busy ATM so can't write one at this very moment. I have one quick question for if I do. How much detail do you think the SSS section should go into? I only ask because I wouldn't really want to put it in spoiler tags if I could help it and yet if I go into as much detail as there is on his actions in other GitS installments, then it'd be slightly too spoiler heavy for a film that hasn't had an english language realease yet. :S Also do you think Solid State Society should be a subsection under 'films' or 'Stand Alone Complex'? because although it's a feature film it follows after the events of SAC not the events in the Oshii verse. 81.151.124.131 01:12, 14 November 2006 (UTC) Elmo
Hey guys, I recently had to undo a copy and paste move of this page, in case anyone's wondering why it was changed back. I believe it was an honest mistake; however, in the future, if you are still interested in moving the page, please try WP:RM. Patstuart (talk) (contribs) 06:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I think this page should be merged to Ghost in the Shell characters. 21:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
In one of the Tachikomatic Days shorts they mention that Batou takes out his eyes before he sleeps. I can't think of a way to add this to the article due to its structure but if anyone can it would be a good addition. Odd little facts are what Wikis are for! XP Bride of lister 23:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The tachicomas are using the words "eye balls",so i think is more apropriate to use that expression,rather then cybernetic eyes.-- 87.65.139.120 22:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Where the deuce did the "Batou does not need food" thing come from? We see him consume beer and food on numerous occasions, which would imply that he not only requires food (he is human, if heavily cyberized, afterall) but has a means of processing that food and expelling the waste from it. This baseless (and counterfactual) tidbit of 'trivia' should be removed.
As for his lacking genitalia... that's total supposition. To assume that he doesn't have genitals would be akin to assuming that the Major is an cybernetic escort during her 'off time'. While it is possible that he lacks genitals, it is just as likely that he was employing a ruse for the purpose of that specific op. Again, this lacks any credibility as we have no factual evidence as to the state of his genitalia. Further, given that we have seen him consume food and beverages, the claim that he does not have genitalia becomes completely invalid. This too should be removed from 'trivia'. -- GITSfan--
I just wanted to clarify something pertaining to the Categories section. Batou was NOT a U.S. Army Ranger. He is Japanese, he served in the Japanese military, he was a Ranger in their military. (I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to leave any other info, sorry). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.232.181 ( talk) 01:21, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

I feel like this should be changed to "No nonsense". At least in my experience, there are the phrases: "No bullshit" and "No nonsense", but I have only heard the phrase "No-nonsense attitude". Blast335 ( talk) 15:36, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
