Fun fact: The crib you see Lucy and David living in is the same place your character in the game lives in for one of the endings. It signifies you've made it to the very top.
@@themliemnach Just to add to this, I'm pretty sure the mansion in the game was being rented by Rogue before being given to V; at the time of Edgerunners she would have been living there. Also, in game the shower is on the upper floor, while the storage/server room is on the lower floor; while the apartment in the show implies David's taking a shower on the lower floor as Lucy is getting out of the ice bath on the upper floor.
You can see that Pilar's death affected Rebecca a lot. After his death, she was in mourning for the last 2 episodes, thus saving herself from the massacre. For the same reason, she was unable to tell David to his face that she could keep her brother's implants and asked Maine to tell him. Now she has implants in her hands and does tricks with them in honor of her brother.
Her acquiring those cyberhands is so well thought out from the show writers. It's more than just an homage to her brother. Up until episode 4, she was using dual handguns, but she quickly realized those didn't do shit to the cyber psycho, nor did the shotgun she snatched from Maine. She was gonna need bigger guns, but seeing how the aforementioned puny shotgun sent her tiny body flying, she installed those big cyber hands that probably have built-in recoil damper, so now she can wield dem big guns. I like how it also changed her posture and movements : walking on your legs while carrying two massive pieces of hardware on your arms is tiring, whereas having said pieces of hardware do the walking is effortless and like having your personal scooter. It also allows her to kick annoying newbies and drivers with flamboyant mustache with those shortstack legs she's rocking.
After Pilar's death, the crew slowly started to fall apart. He was the Techie of the group, so he would be responsible for maintaining their cyberware. Ever noticed how Maine slowly started to go Cyberpsycho after Pilar's death?
@@anonisnoone6125 Nope. Edgerunners takes place in 2076. David’s entire career as an Edgerunner only lasts that year. He’s 17 at the start and 18 after the timeskip between episode 6 and 7.
@@marcussantos4816 more or less but the events of Edgerunners has nothing to do with the events of the game so I feel like it’d be more accurate to say it’s an anthology story than an actual prequel.
That’s one thing I kinda wish they were a little more specific with because it makes it confusing when it seems like a long time has passed since Maine and Co died when on reality it had only been a couple months
I know I shouldn't have, but I laughed when Julio died. You could see it coming. Dude was too impatient and would not listen. The glow up for David is insane
The use of nudity is a great way to show how close David and Lucy has become. In previous episodes, David would always be flustered/enamoured by Lucy whenever she was naked. But now David can just have a casual conversation with Lucy while both of them are fully nude, like it’s a normal everyday thing.
Its also a sign of going down cyberpsychosis. One of the things about it is it describes disassociation with your body and nudity. Like when Kiwi came out naked before she didnt care at all about being seem, as well as Maine giving no fucks about it at all. People with a lot of Cyberware begin to treat bodies like something other than themselves, like they are just piloting a body/vehicle.
@@SubzeroBlack68 No it isn't. "Cyberpsychosis" is a catch-all excuse for not treating the mental and physical problems that cybertech can bring on. It's not a gauge that reaches 100%. Those scenes have absolutely NOTHING to do with cyberpsychosis.
What's cool about the mine that got Julio, is that its design would catch people who have sandevistans like David. Notice how before exploding, it first sets off an electric jolt to stun you first.
Ima be honest, I died the same way Julio died while I was playing Cyberpunk 2077. It was during one of the Cyberpsycho Missions where you had to fight one in an auto-shop that's riddled with laser tripmines LMAO
Definitely remember that one...pretty sure that was a cyperpsycho farmer or some shit. I also had a gig where some guy had stashed a chest in the middle of nowhere that was absolutely surrounded by those land mines. Lmao good times
The same applies with the main story missions in the game or different side quests. Ex: With a little help from my friends and Queen of the highway for Panam, Ex Factor and Pyramid Song for Judy, or even the endings such as Dont Fear the Reaper.
Supposedly cyberpsychosis has more to do with a person's stress and psychological state than the actual cyberware they have equipped. David's high tolerance is because he handles stress well and was recovering from the loss of his mother better than most. He was psychologically healthy at that point.
And Adam smasher has a high tolerance because he's a full on psychopath. He doesn't have to worry about his mental health because he doesn't really feel much of anything
Cyberpsychosis is a subset of regular psychosis. Thus it is a mental health disorder. The main difference with implants is they play into the way a person views themselves and bodies in general. Replacing your meat with chrome, especially the more you do, detaches you from your humanity in a way. You stop seeing meat as a person because it could just be chrome. It can be replaced and upgraded. David wants to get better and instead of training or anything he looks to chrome. Add to that the high stress and danger environment that you’re getting the chrome for, it’s easy to get ptsd or similar things. It all just keeps playing into losing yourself to the psychosis.
@@bluemonkey1886Yeah, I see way too many people who think it’s all about the chrome, but Cyberpsychosis exists at the intersection of probably a dozen or so various mental health co-morbidities and social stressors as portrayed in the game and supplemental material.
I think he looks a bit too goofy. Especially that neck, like holy God. His whole thing was speed and because of Maine, he tried to become a Gorilla. Bro went from being built like a normal kid his age to a damn One Piece character lol
Someone explained to me once that in the original tabletop game, when you create your character you have to roll for an Empathy stat. Basically, whenever you get an implant, your Empathy stat decreases. When your Empathy stat drops to a certain level, you run the risk of your character going cyberpsycho. David just so happens to be a character that rolled a high Empathy stat, which is why he can have so many implants.
7:00 so it's never explicitly stated, but David's already using Maine's arm - the housing is just smaller, but the canon and everything is all there, you can see it when he pops it at 4:44
Do even mentions that, even after he beefed up, the difference in dimensions between Maine and David means the cannon barely fits into its new housing.
Falco has always been there since the beginning though. He was sitting next to Dorio while Pilar was performing tricks. He was next to David while him and Pilar were doing the BD in the Moxxie Club. And he punched Maine after what he did to Kiwi.
1:48 to add on to what Sheera was saying, One thing to note is that Cyberpsychosis isnt just caused by implants, its also caused by the individuals state of mind, those that are less empathetic or psychologically stable are more likely to develop cyberpsychosis, and seeing the environment they live in its very easy for one to fall into cyberpsychosis. Heres an example (Also very minor spoilers for a side quest in Cyberpunk 2077) . . . . . . There's a side quest where you hunt down a cyberpsycho and you learn that he was actually a veteran in the war and fairly mentally stable until his daughter was kidnapped, when he went to confront the kidnappers to pay their ransom it turns out she was already dead, when he found out she was dead he went insane and developed full on cyberpsychosis and not because of his implants (or atleast not it was not directly caused by his implants).
Something recently pointed out to me, Lucy appears to have stopped smoking after she started dating David at the end of Episode 4. Edit: Re-watching the show, she actually smokes in Episode 6 after Falco tells her she has to take over for Kiwi, and in Episode 7 in the server room while Faraday narrates about how talented she is.
The song titles goes the same for Cyberpunk itself. Every mission is a song name. Also Rebecca definitely took over her brothers routine, except instead of plates it’s guns.
Musical reference is random? Every quest in the game is named after a song, and it also correlates to what the quest is about. "Happy Together" by the Turtles is a quest about a man grieving the loss of a loved one, and it even involves a turtle. It's all connected, and it always makes sense; you're just not seeing it yet.
The reason why David has high tolerance for chrome is #1 predisposition #2 He always has someone close. CyberPsychosis tends to hit people hardest when they have really poor mental health. Thus being mentally tough and having friends can get you far. In the game it’s predicted that V can shove a ton of chrome in them because #1 chrome is better in their time. #2 he had Johnny reducing its affect.
Lucy's not being controlled, she killed one of Arasaka's spies who was trying to get to David. Araska wants him to test their new cyberware product due to his unique ability to handle gross amounts of high tech cyberware.
Still makes zero sense to me. Why the fuck would you make a piece of cyberware that literally one person can feasibly wear without going insane (that one person also being able to overpower it in his current state). It's like making a mobile phone that is too heavy to lift
@@thestain8004 They make it because it can do dope ass shit. If you didn't already know, experimental weapons exist irl. Their goal isn't to make it so literally just one person can use it, that particular cyberware is still in development. David can help them work out the issues with it.
@@thestain8004 bro thats like literally what studies on experimental drugs is like. we have no idea what new drugs do so we have to give it to people to determine what it does and what the downsides are. they probably knew that the skeleton would take a lot of durability to cyberpsychosis and thought david would be the perfect candidate since they can test it for longer than some normal gonk that would fry in 2 seconds
David's worst quality is being unable to listen to others concerns and always thinking he's right about himself. He keeps getting told that he's gonna get worse but thinks he's special somehow. It's sad.
Lucy's definitely not under someone else's control there. What I'm 98% sure what happened is this: In Ep.2 that Arasaka corpo decided he was going to get David on their side so they could use him as a guinea pig for their new tech. Lucy went inside that dude's mind last Ep. and saw that plan. She left the crew, and has since been tracking down anyone who was in on that plan and taking them out.
Funny thing is that my apartment buildings first floor is just the lobby and 2 elevators. There is no stairs on the first floor you need to use the elevator to go up from the first floor, or down to the first floor
Yeah that child running a whole crew of criminals only after a month of being with them. That's not growth dude that's some unrealistic giantism, lol. One more reason I didn't particularly like the anime.
@@ThePartisan13 It's been months between episode 1 and episode 7, that's plenty of time. Not to mention he has the Sandy and is probably the best suited considering Maine had so much faith and trust in him, even so much as to give him his arms as a dying wish
@@imskxmo It's been like 6 months total within that time frame, he's 17, with barely any experience. There is no way in fucking hell he should be running a crew. That is the dumbest writing I've ever seen. But this is only the second anime I've ever watched so maybe this is common.
David is wearing Maine's arm already, as you can see he uses the arm cannon that Maine used before. I think they just made it smaller to fit David's body.
Almost every quest, whether main or side quest in the game is also a music reference. Examples include: All Along the Watchtower,Knockin' on Heaven's Door,War Pigs,Imagine,Stairway To Heaven,For Whom the Bell Tolls,Dream on,Killing In The Name, Don't Fear The Reaper and many more. Did they hire Araki or something?
The creator of the original Cyberpunk Tabletop game went more in depth on Cyberpsychosis. Basically you have a "Humanity" stat, the more chrome you have, or the more high tech then the more of a toll it takes. David has a stupidly high stat to start but he also has military tech. I'd recommend checking out his write up
This is true. However the game and the show do not use the tabletop's rules as far as cyberpsychosis works in game. However if you were to do a David build in the tabletop game then yes his humanity would have to be high.
@@EazyDoesitxD oh for sure, I was going off of what Pondsmith posted about Edgerunners specifically since you can only simplify Disassociative disorders so much in a comment and I don't wanna spoil
@@lithius00 I posted my own comment on what the lead writer of the game said when he was explain the details of cyberpsychosis I don't know if you saw the blog post he made but if not check out my comment or scour the official cyberpunk reddit and see if his reply is still there. It actually opened my eyes alot to questions I had involving cyberpsychosis.
The events of the series takes place in 2076 so 1 year before the game "2077". The timeskip is just a few months after marines death (4-8 months maybe but 100% under a year). David being that big is just him almost entirely chromed himself out. Just like maine.
7:50 dude might as well be since he is mainly 98% machine now besides skin on head, brain and heart from my knowledge. If ppl ask and seen him “how come he isn’t cyberpsycho?” Oh he 100% 24/7 is. It’s pretty blatant he is one but he fully knows what he has become and what his purpose is with accepting it. Which is extremely scary if you think about it.
Guys at the end of te episode a guy says e manage to retrieve some files Lucy saw in episode 6, so she found him and killed him She's was not being controlled
Two things all of the missions in the game are song names. Maine's arm is probably what put him over the edge into cyberpsychoses its clearly malfunctioning and it more than the sandevisand is probably what's driving David to cyberpsychoses.
My theory is that having advanced tech in the body with just one piece out outdated stuff probably keeps sending "Fix this" to the brain causing insanity
@@ltphantomknight8942 It doesn't help that most edgerunners, like David or Maine don't exactly have regular access to top of the line cyberware adjusted specifically for them and are taken care of by a team of medical professionals. They get whatever pieces of chrome they can beg, borrow, or steal with no regards for where it comes from(even if that may be some poor bastard's corpse) and get it installed by whatever back alley ripperdoc they trust won't just cut them up and sell the bits for some quick eddies. Then there's getting all of the cyberware to work together and whatever "fixes" you may have to use to make sure your cyberlegs are coordinating with your spine when those legs are produced by one megacorp and your spine by another and may or may not be trying to commit corporate espionage against one another. Plus the more mundane issues of life in Night City and how Cyberpunk Earth is a giant grimdark shit hole in general and what that does to people. Cyberpsychosis is a complicated beast of a problem that's more than just "Slotted too much 'ware." But it's hard to provide the kind of care and treatment that Cyberpsychosis needs, so megacorps just say "Yeah, too much cyberware definitely the problem. Gun 'em down." That's Cyberpunk, baby.
In the first half of cyberpunk David was 17 and now he is 18 due to the timeskip. Also David is wearing Maines hands since that was part of their agreement which was if Maine died David gets to keep his hands.
I’m sure many people talked about cyberpsychosis. It can be a loss of self or just bad hardware. Most of it seems to happen where your body starts rejecting the parts physically, then you kind of lose a sense of self. Imagine that the only thing left of you is an arm and a head. Eventually you kind of start to wonder if you are “human” anymore. At the same time your body is starting to deploy antibodies and degrade where the biology and the machine connects. The end result is you go crazy.
In Night City? I would totally believe they don't have a staircase. This place doesn't care about safety for the slums, like the building they were in.
yall remember he had to jump down like 3 flights of stairs from his apartment. Night City is a bastard. Also its based on a table top game so the cyberpsychosis when u have too much chrome it lowers your humanity stat which gives you a chance to go cyberpyscho.
David has a high affinity for cybertech similarly how some people are stronger or faster than others, that's his little quirk. Also there are different types of cyberware, there's some low grade trash tech all the way up to military grade cyberware. David sandivistan is a military prototype which is why Arakasta company is interested in his affinity. Also for contex, Adam Smasher is considered the boogeyman. He's 99% robot without going cyber psycho. And yes he has spare bodies for various missions like Megaman.
I thought it was implied that big dude had a sandy? It’s not uncommon for others to have one. It’s just really hard to acquire one. Especially one as advanced as David’s. (Though still old tech)
The HUGE Maelstrom ganger in the beginning may have had a Kerenzikov...kind of a lesser version of the Sandevistan, which ups your reaction time. Good if you are caught off guard, but against a Sandy, your only hope is to spot and shoot before they notice. Otherwise, hope you are in heavy armor...or they are a really bad shot. That port in the back of Lucy's head, the deep dive port, is basically drilled right into her brain. Kinda like the Matrix. Fact that Arasaka installed that into a KID is pretty messed up (totally in character for 'em, though). Sending them into the Old Net though is pretty nightmarish. That means going beyond the Blackwall...which even the Voodoo Boys couldn't pull off.
This entire show perfectly represents what addiction is like. Nobody thinks it will ever be them. I think steroids are a perfect comparison to what getting addicted to chrome is like. You do it because you need to be stronger/better and you only start off doing a cycle or two. Once you get diminishing returns, you start taking a heavier and heavier dose to keep getting better. You get horrible withdrawal and lose power when you cycle off and eventually decide to just never get off a cycle. Then you start taking more extreme stuff like HGH and insulin so you can be better than the other addicts you're competing with. Inevitably it destroys your body and you're unable to stop since you've destroyed your natural hormones. I've known people addicted to steroids. They think they're the exception to side-effects and believe that all the abuse they've put their body through would have been for nothing if they cut back. It's why David and Maine don't want to cut back on chrome. It would be like telling a Mr. Olympia bodybuilder to stop taking steroids. Although there are guys like Jay Cutler who hard quit drugs (cycled off) and I personally think chrome would be the same. Getting a ton of chrome in a short time will make you crazy. Your body needs time to recover and adjust to it. I personally think it's why Adam Smasher can tolerate it so well. He's been upgrading bit by bit for decades as opposed to borging out almost immediately like David does.
the guy did had a sandy but his was a lower grade compared to david's. ( like a blue sandy in the game compared to a gold sandy lol). Sandy's are not 1 only upgrade but many just ranked
ppl said David able to maintain sanity because of his mother love. Cheesy I know but it seems in this universe, that love was able to keep himself from losing it.
Fun fact: The crib you see Lucy and David living in is the same place your character in the game lives in for one of the endings. It signifies you've made it to the very top.

Lucy's not being controlled, she killed one of Arasaka's spies who was trying to get to David. Araska wants him to test their new cyberware product due to his unique ability to handle gross amounts of high tech cyberware.
Still makes zero sense to me. Why the fuck would you make a piece of cyberware that literally one person can feasibly wear without going insane (that one person also being able to overpower it in his current state). It's like making a mobile phone that is too heavy to lift
@@thestain8004 They make it because it can do dope ass shit. If you didn't already know, experimental weapons exist irl. Their goal isn't to make it so literally just one person can use it, that particular cyberware is still in development. David can help them work out the issues with it.
@@thestain8004 bro thats like literally what studies on experimental drugs is like. we have no idea what new drugs do so we have to give it to people to determine what it does and what the downsides are. they probably knew that the skeleton would take a lot of durability to cyberpsychosis and thought david would be the perfect candidate since they can test it for longer than some normal gonk that would fry in 2 seconds
Bruh David went and hit the cybergym
David's worst quality is being unable to listen to others concerns and always thinking he's right about himself. He keeps getting told that he's gonna get worse but thinks he's special somehow. It's sad.
Lucy's definitely not under someone else's control there. What I'm 98% sure what happened is this: In Ep.2 that Arasaka corpo decided he was going to get David on their side so they could use him as a guinea pig for their new tech. Lucy went inside that dude's mind last Ep. and saw that plan. She left the crew, and has since been tracking down anyone who was in on that plan and taking them out.
David brings a whole new meaning to the words "I'm built different"
Funny thing is that my apartment buildings first floor is just the lobby and 2 elevators. There is no stairs on the first floor you need to use the elevator to go up from the first floor, or down to the first floor
Quick fact: Matthew Mercer, who voices Falco in Edgerunners is the English voice actor for Jotaro Kujo in JoJo
Matt Mercer also voices Levi in AOT. Julio's voice actor also voices Eren from AOT too.
The musical references in the chapters names are because in the game many missions have the name of a song like Pyramid Song for Judy's mission.
The titles being references to music is a detail the game had with most of it's missions as well
David went from being a rookie to now having his very own crew. The growth.
Yeah that child running a whole crew of criminals only after a month of being with them. That's not growth dude that's some unrealistic giantism, lol. One more reason I didn't particularly like the anime.
@@ThePartisan13 It's been months between episode 1 and episode 7, that's plenty of time. Not to mention he has the Sandy and is probably the best suited considering Maine had so much faith and trust in him, even so much as to give him his arms as a dying wish
@@imskxmo It's been like 6 months total within that time frame, he's 17, with barely any experience. There is no way in fucking hell he should be running a crew. That is the dumbest writing I've ever seen. But this is only the second anime I've ever watched so maybe this is common.
Shout out Rebecca for taking over her brothers job as the funny one.
Rebecca is a real friend
Ohh damn youre right about the music songs being titles, guess this one meant david was 🎶harder, better, faster, stronger 🎶
9:01 thats hella funny roshi and lupa were peepin lucy and sheera was peepin david
David is wearing Maine's arm already, as you can see he uses the arm cannon that Maine used before. I think they just made it smaller to fit David's body.
Crazy, David be carrying everything on his shoulders. Man matured real quick through loss and blood.
The Cyberpunk story takes place in the year 2076 one year before Cyberpunk 2077
I'm built different -David Martinez
Almost every quest, whether main or side quest in the game is also a music reference.
Examples include: All Along the Watchtower,Knockin' on Heaven's Door,War Pigs,Imagine,Stairway To Heaven,For Whom the Bell Tolls,Dream on,Killing In The Name, Don't Fear The Reaper and many more.
Did they hire Araki or something?
0:48 amazing impression of Maine!
7:35 The most memorable line from the game
The creator of the original Cyberpunk Tabletop game went more in depth on Cyberpsychosis. Basically you have a "Humanity" stat, the more chrome you have, or the more high tech then the more of a toll it takes. David has a stupidly high stat to start but he also has military tech. I'd recommend checking out his write up
This is true. However the game and the show do not use the tabletop's rules as far as cyberpsychosis works in game. However if you were to do a David build in the tabletop game then yes his humanity would have to be high.
@@EazyDoesitxD oh for sure, I was going off of what Pondsmith posted about Edgerunners specifically since you can only simplify Disassociative disorders so much in a comment and I don't wanna spoil
@@lithius00 I posted my own comment on what the lead writer of the game said when he was explain the details of cyberpsychosis I don't know if you saw the blog post he made but if not check out my comment or scour the official cyberpunk reddit and see if his reply is still there. It actually opened my eyes alot to questions I had involving cyberpsychosis.
The events of the series takes place in 2076 so 1 year before the game "2077". The timeskip is just a few months after marines death (4-8 months maybe but 100% under a year). David being that big is just him almost entirely chromed himself out. Just like maine.
Also the guy who made the oculus the vr headset he made was inspired by sao and was made just a few days before the it came out in the show
Its almost time for the sad "i wanna stay at your house"
7:50 dude might as well be since he is mainly 98% machine now besides skin on head, brain and heart from my knowledge.
If ppl ask and seen him “how come he isn’t cyberpsycho?” Oh he 100% 24/7 is. It’s pretty blatant he is one but he fully knows what he has become and what his purpose is with accepting it. Which is extremely scary if you think about it.
4:50 a lot of people don’t realize this but kiwi fried their aim that’s why she hacked everyone at the beginning
I've seen this dub 4 times on Netflix and my subtitles match perfectly lol
David leveled up to boss level
It's only been a year that's passed he's 18 now with cash, his girl and Maines arm
Editors gotta fight for his life when censoring cyberpunk vids 😭
Guys at the end of te episode a guy says e manage to retrieve some files Lucy saw in episode 6, so she found him and killed him
She's was not being controlled
Two things
all of the missions in the game are song names.
Maine's arm is probably what put him over the edge into cyberpsychoses its clearly malfunctioning and it more than the sandevisand is probably what's driving David to cyberpsychoses.
My theory is that having advanced tech in the body with just one piece out outdated stuff probably keeps sending "Fix this" to the brain causing insanity
@@ltphantomknight8942 It doesn't help that most edgerunners, like David or Maine don't exactly have regular access to top of the line cyberware adjusted specifically for them and are taken care of by a team of medical professionals. They get whatever pieces of chrome they can beg, borrow, or steal with no regards for where it comes from(even if that may be some poor bastard's corpse) and get it installed by whatever back alley ripperdoc they trust won't just cut them up and sell the bits for some quick eddies.
Then there's getting all of the cyberware to work together and whatever "fixes" you may have to use to make sure your cyberlegs are coordinating with your spine when those legs are produced by one megacorp and your spine by another and may or may not be trying to commit corporate espionage against one another. Plus the more mundane issues of life in Night City and how Cyberpunk Earth is a giant grimdark shit hole in general and what that does to people.
Cyberpsychosis is a complicated beast of a problem that's more than just "Slotted too much 'ware." But it's hard to provide the kind of care and treatment that Cyberpsychosis needs, so megacorps just say "Yeah, too much cyberware definitely the problem. Gun 'em down."
That's Cyberpunk, baby.
@@ltphantomknight8942 It's a combination of things it's not just the cyberware
David with the cyber glow up installed.
R.I.P Julio..gone too soon. 🤣
1:15 Bleach 1000 year Beef took me the fuck out🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
In the first half of cyberpunk David was 17 and now he is 18 due to the timeskip. Also David is wearing Maines hands since that was part of their agreement which was if Maine died David gets to keep his hands.
David with instant buff up. who needs gym when cyberpunk exist
I’m sure many people talked about cyberpsychosis. It can be a loss of self or just bad hardware. Most of it seems to happen where your body starts rejecting the parts physically, then you kind of lose a sense of self. Imagine that the only thing left of you is an arm and a head. Eventually you kind of start to wonder if you are “human” anymore. At the same time your body is starting to deploy antibodies and degrade where the biology and the machine connects. The end result is you go crazy.
5:36 he had it, thats what this animatikn with skeleton is about.
Regarding the episode titles each of them is a song title which is a copy from the game were all the mission titles are songs.
In Night City? I would totally believe they don't have a staircase. This place doesn't care about safety for the slums, like the building they were in.
"Apparently made a headset that can kill you if you die in the game."
So it's another Sword Art Online or .Hack situation.
yall remember he had to jump down like 3 flights of stairs from his apartment. Night City is a bastard. Also its based on a table top game so the cyberpsychosis when u have too much chrome it lowers your humanity stat which gives you a chance to go cyberpyscho.
"What happen if the elevator break you die?" Prob unless u can hire merc or someone to get u out. or u got insurance or something xD
David has a high affinity for cybertech similarly how some people are stronger or faster than others, that's his little quirk.
Also there are different types of cyberware, there's some low grade trash tech all the way up to military grade cyberware. David sandivistan is a military prototype which is why Arakasta company is interested in his affinity.
Also for contex, Adam Smasher is considered the boogeyman. He's 99% robot without going cyber psycho. And yes he has spare bodies for various missions like Megaman.
David finally grew into those gauntlets from Maine.
Gotta love how David chomes up to become a Megaman, but Lucy just needs some battle chips to make a Program Advance 😁
Also the episodes all have music-inspired names just like all the quests in the game
I thought it was implied that big dude had a sandy? It’s not uncommon for others to have one. It’s just really hard to acquire one. Especially one as advanced as David’s. (Though still old tech)
6:03 bro woke up at a 2pac concert
You could see in robot progression in the Opening
The HUGE Maelstrom ganger in the beginning may have had a Kerenzikov...kind of a lesser version of the Sandevistan, which ups your reaction time. Good if you are caught off guard, but against a Sandy, your only hope is to spot and shoot before they notice. Otherwise, hope you are in heavy armor...or they are a really bad shot.
That port in the back of Lucy's head, the deep dive port, is basically drilled right into her brain. Kinda like the Matrix. Fact that Arasaka installed that into a KID is pretty messed up (totally in character for 'em, though). Sending them into the Old Net though is pretty nightmarish. That means going beyond the Blackwall...which even the Voodoo Boys couldn't pull off.
5:57 Lupa is hilarious 💀
I honestly want a 5 min video of your opening. Even combining with the last one too.
David already has maine's arm, he just used it twice in the first minutes of the episode.
This is the episode I was waiting for David is fully upgraded here
Nobody who knows why he's special can tell you until the show is over, but we have the answer, and the show doesn't tell you.
David is using Maine's hands, he just resized them a little.
5:38 it’s a reflex booster
You realize that in Night City you can just replace your body parts and bulk up in just few days :)
The fucking net navis 🤣🤣🤣
It's either elevator or jump down on the trash like David in episode 1 lmao
I absolutely love the Megaman Battle Network references 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 can’t wait for the remake to release for the switch!
It's only been a few months
Edgerunners happens in 2076, before the game Cyberpunk 2077
David went from "Daevyth Marthyneez" to DAVID MARTÍNEZ in a single episode
This entire show perfectly represents what addiction is like. Nobody thinks it will ever be them. I think steroids are a perfect comparison to what getting addicted to chrome is like. You do it because you need to be stronger/better and you only start off doing a cycle or two. Once you get diminishing returns, you start taking a heavier and heavier dose to keep getting better. You get horrible withdrawal and lose power when you cycle off and eventually decide to just never get off a cycle. Then you start taking more extreme stuff like HGH and insulin so you can be better than the other addicts you're competing with. Inevitably it destroys your body and you're unable to stop since you've destroyed your natural hormones. I've known people addicted to steroids. They think they're the exception to side-effects and believe that all the abuse they've put their body through would have been for nothing if they cut back. It's why David and Maine don't want to cut back on chrome. It would be like telling a Mr. Olympia bodybuilder to stop taking steroids. Although there are guys like Jay Cutler who hard quit drugs (cycled off) and I personally think chrome would be the same. Getting a ton of chrome in a short time will make you crazy. Your body needs time to recover and adjust to it. I personally think it's why Adam Smasher can tolerate it so well. He's been upgrading bit by bit for decades as opposed to borging out almost immediately like David does.
the guy did had a sandy but his was a lower grade compared to david's. ( like a blue sandy in the game compared to a gold sandy lol). Sandy's are not 1 only upgrade but many just ranked
5:40 and that's the end of his story.
This is y Rick told Morty to stay in the f***ing car 😂
ppl said David able to maintain sanity because of his mother love. Cheesy I know but it seems in this universe, that love was able to keep himself from losing it.
Time to bust out the whiskey glasses now
this entire anime happens during 2076 so its only been a few months since maine died and david is 18 now
Cyberpsychosis is based on ur humanity and empathy
