Serial Experiments Lain: Eiri and Protocol 7 Arc Explained

Eiri and Protocol 7 Arc Explained
Eiri Masami’s arc ties corporate research, messianic belief, and protocol design together. He wants the Wired to function as a collective layer of human consciousness with himself treated as god. Lain’s conflict with him is not a simple hero-villain fight; it is a fight over whether connection should erase consent, bodies, and ordinary human limits.
