The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asks Section 9 to help them with a strange case. Marcelo Jiarti, a South American revolutionary leader, has had several attempts made on his life by such units as the U.S. Delta Force and the British SAS. However, he has survived each of these assassination attempts. For reasons unknown, Jiarti regularly visits Japan about once every five months for a total of twelve times in the past five years. The Ministry has requested that Section 9 surveil Jiarti and discover why the revolutionary enters the country so often.

| Japanese Title: 「偶像崇拝」 - 「Gūzō Sūhai」
| The groups that attempted to assasinate Jarti were the Delta Force and SAS, which are U.S. and British covert special OPS groups. While the SAS, which stands for Special Air Service, is a unit similar to that of the U.S. Army's Green Beret and Airborne, the Delta Force is a super-secret unit, much like Public Security Section 9. Cobbling together the best of the best soldiers from the U.S. Army's Special Forces (Airborne, Rangers, Green Beret), the Navy S.E.A.L.S., and Marine Special Forces, it's primary mission remains shrouded in secrecy and the US Armed Service Committee, the body that oversees all four branches of the US military, has never confirmed nor denied its existence.

| As Togusa trails Jiarti, a green road sigh shows all three ways to spell New Port City: In Kanji, in Japanese Katakana, and in Latin characters. The Japanese, 新浜市内, says Niihama Shinai or New Port City Limits.
| While he waits in the New Port Hotel's parking lot, Togusa drinks from a green can with a Japanese character on it: 茶. The character is read Cha and means "tea" in English.
| Kanji on Policeman's Badge: 新浜県警 (Niihama Kenkei) - New Port City Prefectural Police.

| Marcel Jiarti: Che Guevara
Jiarti, the revolutionary leader from South America who after winning a revolution in one country continued revolutions in other South American countries is a direct reference to the life of Che Guevara. Famous for helping Fidel Castro become the leader of Cuba in the 1959 "26th of July Movement", El Che, as he is also known, continued fighting revolutions in other South American countries for 8 more years until his death at the hands of the Bolivian Army, who had captured him for the CIA, in October of 1967. Che Guevara is still idolized today as a symbol of revolution. Many college students throughout the United States have posters of him on their dorm walls.
| Motoko's Jump: Ghost in the Shell
Motoko's jump onto the roof of the building where Jiarti is holding up is similar to the jump seen in the intro for 1st GIG. It is also a reference to Mamoru Oshii's 1995 movie Ghost in the Shell where, when chasing down a man being used by the Puppet Master, Motoko uses her powerful cybernetic body to quickly scale a building and jump up onto its rooftop. In the movie, the roof breaks a bit under her weight, but in the episode the building's roof doesn't budge.
| Ghost Dubbing Device: "ROBOT RONDO"
The appearance of the "Ghost Dubbing Device" is a reference to the 1991 Ghost in the Shell manga by Shirō Masamune. In the chapter entitled "ROBOT RONDO", the device is said to be illegal as the host dies during the "dubbing" process.
