      Ahh yes this is what I knew was coming. It seems the best ways to deal with the emotional trauma watching this episode induces is to watch other ppl react to it. That and to replay the game (I've played through the entire game 4 times) specifically to fuck Adam Smasher up with Becca's shotgun. At least that's what works for me 😎

    Just for Context there is a way to Cure Cyberpsychosis.
    Mike Pondsmith, the guy who created Cyberpunk has said that cyberpsychosis can be cured by love.
    It's Human connection that helps a person recover from it and love is the strongest form of connection.
    That is why David is this resistant, his Love for Lucy litteraly keeps him sane.

      Well there's other things like removing the cyber wear and hooking them to a brain dance with a therapist program to rehabilitate them. Though you are right. Cyberpsychosis affects people with little to no empathy, way worse than normal people. Having a love in David's life and all the close friends he made help keep his mind stable enough.

He's been the nigh-unstoppable killer cyborg of doom in the setting for decades, Arasaka's most advanced multi-zillion-nuyen living weapon, who's torn apart everything they've ever sent him against. He doesn't get that much screentime in the game because they have to minimize the MC's exposure to him to explain why they don't immediately die, but this guy picked a fight with an armored fighting vehicle and he wasn't the one that had to run away.

    So Adam Smasher was mentioned in passing earlier in the series by the Ripperdoc, and is a major character in the Tabletop series and also featured prominently in the Cyperpunk 2077 video game. He is a person who has gone so far deep into Cyberpsychosis that he came out the other end appearing more sane than when he entered (mostly due to the fact that he had no empathy or humanity in him to start and was already a complete sociopath even before getting his first upgrades.) He is currently employed by Arasaka Corp, and usually takes missions where Arasaka does not care about collateral damage or loss of life. If you play the game, you get the chance to get revenge by fighting him.
    Given the common themes of the Cyberpunk game, what you witnessed was actually one of the best endings possible. The other more likely possible endings are much, much worse. Especially if you understand the statement about Adam Smasher suggesting that David being a good construct.
    If you want to use Rebecca's gun in the game, you can find it near where she died, and is very powerful gun.

      Adam Smasher was a legendary character, he is not just a random soldier with OP guns. He is "the" soldier, which can have an effect like an army himself alone.
      But yeah thats the game, this is the lore i know the differences but again, when you are already invested in Cyberpunk before the games, these kind of details annoy you.

According to Mike Pondsmith the reason V doesn't go cyberpyscho is because he/she literally has two pschyes carrying the mental weight so that right ther puts them on the same mental strength level of Adam Smasher (plus the possibility that Johnny was already going Cyberpsycho according to the sourcebooks). So it's not BS at all. David didn't the mental fortitude that endgame V and Adam Smasher had so his mind started breaking down.

      Not _guaranteed,_ necessarily. He had one weakness in 2020, hacking. You could use that to lower his stats to the point a maxed out party with the right build (and preferably some NPC mercenary backup) could beat him. So, pretty much guaranteed death for most people, lol.

    Smasher has a very long history in Cyberpunk from the RPGs, Cyberpunk 2077, and of course Edgerunners set in 2076. Without spoiling the game, Adam Smasher for want of a better term is a "functioning Cyber Psycho" in that he's coherent and rational (to a degree) but is also so far detached from humanity (nearly a full borg almost no organic left) who was a gangoon (the cyberpunk version of a gang member), former military soldier (before dishonorable discharge), turned merc who doesn't care about collateral damage. in fact he only takes missions where collateral kills are guaranteed.
    On one of his merc jobs he met the business end of a missile and was basically turned to piles of meat that his colleagues put in a bag and ran away with. Arasaka gave him a new body for near exclusive rights to use him as their merc.they call him the night city boogie man because when Arasaka wants a problem to go away, they send smasher (ironic considering who plays a character in the game who also has than moniker in a different franchise 😀 The only thing that's probably keeping him in line is a rivalry he has in the roleplaying games and the fact that it wouldn't be surprising if arasaka has a kill switch built into him.

    "It just feels like he died for no good reason." David was already dead from the moment he slotted that last piece of chrome. Cyberpsychosis would inevitably drive him into a stark raving monster, a soulless beast inhabiting the shell that used to be his body while /David/ was long gone, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. The final episode isn't David struggling to live, it's him picking what he feels is worth dying for - to trade his life for the life of the woman he loves - and then using the last few hours of his life to make damn sure it happens.
    So yeah, it's tragic as hell, but it was his choice.

    For reference
    Faster commentators have already spoken about Adam Smasher and the board game, so I’ll add on my own that in such a game he was conceived primarily as an almost unstoppable force that the gamemaster released on players if they deviated too much from the intended scenario
    Later, a biography (written on his behalf) was written for him in one of the books that came with the board game (these are not fiction books in the full sense, for the most part collections of notes, articles and stories)
    The theme of the opportunity offered by Adam to become a construct is revealed in the plot of the game using the example of Johnny
    Briefly, an experimental method for completely recording a person and storing it in an electronic environment with the ability to copy, change or install in suitable shells
    Anyway, this is just one of the legends of this city, and the city lives further and may tell one more or few If the copyright holders allowed

    Don't worry, David definitely died for something since Lucy was able to go to the moon, and it wasn't just a tour. In their world/timeline, people have already begun migrating to the moon and other parts of space, so it's safe to assume that Lucy was able to migrate there too and escape Night City. Also yeah, the game definitely deserves a second look. It just won the Steam Labor of Love award because of how they updated/fixed the games issues throughout the years and it's so much better now, especially in regards to performance. Phantom Liberty expansion coming this year too.

Then you can continue when the expansion comes which is probably near when patch 1.7 drops (presumably)

    Adam Smasher is the one who captured silverhand so who else can kill David if not Smasher? Jhonny also hit the arasaka tower same as David and v after that and the former 2 were killed/captured by Smasher. Actually we all who went through the game knew where it was going the moment Smasher joins in.
    Also David can't live a happy life his conscience won't allow it. It is maine's dream who was like a parent to him that he is carrying . David has one goal to send Lucy to the moon it is his only dream.
    BUT STILL I WANTED DAVID TO LIVE, SO SO MUCH 😢.

    Such a sad ending but David kept his word to lucy and all the others he promised to. If anything him dying is the best ending because if he was spared by Adam and was forced to work for Adam he probably would be paid to hunt and eliminate his surviving comrades, So as sad as it is, it's the best ending and he goes out as a satisfied hero

  • @J2911L

    I understand your point about him dying, that it felt like it wasn't neccesary, but that's also sort of the point really. Throughout the show Lucy and Rebecca both told him to go 'easy on the chrome', and he always considered himself to be special, stronger. Which he was, to a certain extent, he just went over the edge. And he got clapped by Smasher.
    There's also the fact that Lucy and David stopped conversing to one another, where we as the viewer know that if they'd talk to each other, things could potentially work out better for them. But they unfortunately never really talk. Which is also realistic in a way, especially seeing as they're both pretty young. Communication isn't your strong suit when you're an 18 year old that's addicted to any substance (in David's case it was augmenting himself), but in real life it couldve been a multitude of things, where your relationship just slowly dwindles down. Which also happened to them. We just see it from an 'all - seeing point of view', where we get upset they don't talk, or do what we want them to do.
    As far as endings go, I personally always believed their relationship for an anime show feels very real, you get to see their highs, but also their lows. Unfortunately we only get to see snippets of their relationship, since it time skips a lot, and we sort of have to fill in the blanks, but overall we sort of get the thing that's going on between them. In pretty much every anime I've seen, any relationship is always super 'tropey', this at least felt like a realistic way of how a relationship would go. Same with Arcane, I really liked Vi and Kaitlyn.
    As far as Adam Smasher goes, he's (i've only played the game) a pretty big villain. In the game he's a lot less powered up, in the anime he is actually intimidating. If you liked the show, you should check out the game, it's really solid (after 2 years at least).

    The thing about the history of Adam Smasher is that he is a constant character from the beginning of the board game, through this series and still in the game.
    Timeline is something like boardgame 2020 - 2023 , Edgerunners 2076, game obviously 2077. So to those who played the game, read the book or played the game he wasn´t so new anymore.
    I knew him only from the computergame when I saw the series because I never read the book or played the boardgame.
    But there is a video that is in my opinion very well made where the guy explains who Adam Smasher is and where he did come from.
    The video is only about 10 minutes long so I leave a link her in case you like to watch it:

    david dying for no reason IS the tragedy of this show and this city. david was a smart kid with a lot of opportunity and a supporting mother but once the city took it away he was left with little to no options. from the beginning david was always trying to live out other peoples dreams (his mom, maine, and finally lucy) without even thinking about his own. he couldnt save his mother or maine OR fulfill their dreams but he was able to help lucy achieve hers. only by the end it didnt matter that she was on the moon because she didnt have her man with her. david not having a dream and putting other people before him is his characters nature and thats what makes this tragedy so sad. also adam smasher was referenced in the show and its probably a good thing you didnt get too far into the game because you would have realized that david was fucked and had no chance of winning lol

    A fact for the people who keep saying "David did it for nothing", its kinda wrong. I dont remember the article but one of the polish guys who talks about the show explained that the "cyberpsychosis" is kinda cancer. When it starts, after some point you cant just change it back or fix it.
    So after David started to realise that he has "Cyberpsychosis" (after when he shot that woman in Corpo), he kinda knew that it was over for him.
    When you look at the show with this knowledge, you can understand it better imo. That makes so much sense on why David is even trying harder after he got the symptoms of it. He knew that he didnt have too much time left, so he basically wanted to free his loved ones. And in that regard, he rescued Lucy.
    I think that all "Hey Maine just downgrade your equipment for a while" talking, confused people also myself too. Those lines feels like you can basically stop it by removing them but in reality if you started to have symptoms, you became a ticking clock. Removing your gear would only slow it down maybe (i dont know it, just guessing).
    Also when will we get a show where the guy lives and the woman dies just for a change lol. As a guy, watching all this "sacrifice" shit feels fucked up lol.

    • @JS-kb4bk
      @JS-kb4bk ปีที่แล้ว

      This is entirely untrue. Many people recover from full cyberpsychosis, it's purely a mental issue from stress caused by thinking people don't care for your humanity. For example, one of V's jobs is beating up such people without killing them, so they can be rehabilitated and brought back into civilization, which takes 3 weeks. There's an entire division of Night Cities police force called Maxtac which are all recovered psychos. David is just a flawed person who kept going because the only thing he had going for him was the dreams given by his mother and Maine, he just wanted to be a Legend. In Night City, you have to be dead to be considered one, which he did and got a drink named after him at the AfterLife bar.

      @@JS-kb4bk It depends on how far gone the individual is. Cyberpsychosis can be treated to a degree, but the individual would have to downgrade all the way back down to the bare minimum and even then there's no guarantee that they will ever fully recover. People like David or Maine were too far gone to be realistically treated. Maxtac are more of a "controlled" psycho unit. They are kept in check and are a much lesser version of Adam who is a high functioning Cyberpsycho.
