So what you're saying is, Morgan Blackhand fought a literal killing machine that should have been physically superior to him (Because it's a Borg) apparently won and then escaped from a building that nuked half of Night City. What a fucking legend
there's no f*cking evidence that he survived the whole ordeal.. in fact, his fate remains a mystery as a whole after the 4th corporate war... as there is no drink named after him in the afterlife.
SPOILERS: During the endings where V becomes the owner of the Afterlife (taking the tower solo or keeping their body) a person named Mr. Blue Eyes meets you and plots the whole space ending with you going to the resort up in space, and Mr. Blue Eyes is theorized to be related to or actually Morgan Blackhand because of some datamined stuff with his models being named Morgan_Blackhand. So that's likely where the DLC will go, detailing Mr. Blue Eyes and his potential relation to Morgan Blackhand.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!! In Cyberpunk, you come across a mission where you find out upcoming mayor of Night City is being mind controlled. People behind him are Militech and Morgan who is actually in form of Mr Blue eyes, who is being controlled by Morgan Black Hand. You even talk to him in end of a particular story ending, where a muffled voice warns you, all conversation in short, "I know who you are, whatever you do, it won't change anything".
Mike pondsmith said on reddit that him and cd projekt red are still writing the character. Maybe a reference in the dlc but I think he will be the Main supporting character of the next game
@@nichtdiejeniche3845 yeah sucks that the feature was removed. Could've made then conversation options when talking about or too these characters. Like how you have dialogue for nomad, street kid, and corpo, you could've had "childhood hero" dialogue.
Jesus, I remember my old man sitting around playing dominoes with all his military buddies & other than the blue eyes, literally every single one of them fits this description nearly to the T. Geographical location where they served, combat experience, demeanor.. hell, even their dress code was nearly identical. He looks just like all of them too Shit, Blackhand is basically every big ass Euro-Puerto Rican dude from Bk who joined the army way back in the day and was sent to Panama/Central/South America.
Morgan Blackhand, I really wanted to see this dude. Hope phantom Liberty gives us an option to see him. Seeing how intertwined Militech is with the NUSA we have to get conformation hes alive and even meet him.
Sucks that David didn't have much streetwise, he would learn you don't need too much cyberware to be the best there's also the Morgan Blackhand path. Unfortunately he only took Maine teachings on how to be a edgerunner and thought he already knew all.
Honestly if you have a strong enough sniper rifle and you're trained you can be 100% human and still be the best in nc. From what I've seen, a modern day marine sniper with an anti materiel rifle would go pretty goddamned far in night City
Hell yeah, what I've been waiting for! Lol. I've decided I'm going to rp that my V is a grandson of Blackhand (real name Vincent Blackhand) who wants to make a name for himself out side his grandads legacy (while still revering him and his style)
Blackhand once used a Militech lascannon to kill a dude behind truck, cut the guy clean in half....as well as the truck.....and a few other things behind the dude & the truck.... It's a hell of a gun.
Well the childhood hero bit was cut from the game. Probably an early idea before they came up with the starting life paths. So far in my play through Morgan has only been mentioned. Though he does sound like a bad ass who even as old as he would be in 2077 would kick V’s ass for sure.
Clint Eastwood as Morgan Blackhand would be perfect! He has the raspy voice and in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" he even looks like him! The hair and the cigar are on point! Now I know what your gonna say "he's too old to play him and he doesn't look that way anymore." Well my little choom let me tell you something, ever heard about a little something called Voice Acting and remember In the lore and the wiki he is said to be over a hundred years old so Clint as he is now WILL STILL WORK!!!
@@Kazuliski thank you! and thank you for the lore mate! I assume it takes a lot of research and a lot of time to make the videos! just wanted to make sure to let u know its appreciated!
awesome lore video :). saw the gif from there twitter page have no idea how to feel if that's a hint the game is ready or finished or them just happy showing up at E3 lol.
i'm starting to see connection MORGAN BLACKHAND works from the shadows to finish what started at ARASAKA tower by recruiting new solo's through people like DEXTER DESHAWN (getting spider bot was one of the qualification quests and a small part of plan for for future opperation) deppending on quest flexibility and level of humanity there will be a choice betwen fighting for MORGAN BLACKHAND or ADAM SHASHER (or corporation that want's to burry unwanted relics or gang that want's bigger influence in the city (if SABURO ARASAKA's contingency plan worked than ADAM can still work to fulfill his will and revenge or turn against him or simply work for his bloodline to make ARASAKA great again without old mistakes) (kill one or all or try to turn against common enemy (corporations that led to this mess)))........ there's even a possibility that after the interrupted battle these two legends out of mutual respect for old nemesis decided to work together but with different groups (would be fun if some of their weapons and clothes (legendary equipment)were given as reward for quest or a token of respect) ......... i'm starting to feall nostalgia for VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE BLOODLINES and song for SOLO (especialy at NIGHT CITY) "linkin park - in the end"
sorry if it's too much of random nonsense (and poorly written) but i'm starting to like all this writing that's based on what i learn from the videos and connecting all with my minds madness
Interesting question. Given they apparently are using characters from Cyberpunk 2020, the main one missing would be Alt Cunningham. So it might be a possibility... then there is Rache...
Kazuliski I also mean in regards to new players which there will be a lot of considering it’s cd project red so maybe some more options and maybe some more context going into those options.
Well, I wouldn`t go there yet. There are 9 background elements to pick, I think depending on how much impact they will have and how differing quest design feedback will be based on player input, I think 9 is actually a lot.
I would like to make a suggestion. I think a lot of people (me included) watch your videos to learn the lore so we can make better decisions in the actual game. I was thinking that maybe you could do like a quiz thing each video? Just a quick question that takes up like 20 seconds or something. Would make your videos even more of a learning experience than it already is.
Eurosolos are a special breed themselves. Solos in the eurotheater value skill, broad capabilities and style. A eurosolo is a lot better educated and trained than the average american solo. A high enough Combat Sense skill and you are faster than cybertech. Their skills are broader, a eurosolo has a lot more flexibility and options. They are not obviously looking like solos, a eurosolo can fit in like a butler or secretary or junior executive with ease. They don't like to overly rely on specific weapons and gear.
@@Kazuliski We were looking to test the old tabletop game, it's been on the schedule for a while. Then we learn that a bunch of kids are waiting to play this newfangled computron game about this old 90's and late 80's game. We've picked the EuroTour campaign where you get on the road crew for an american rockerboy touring the cyber-EU. It's a campaign that moves the game out into the old world. You get to drop by Liverpool, Venice, Paris, Brussels, Sweden and Czhekoslovakia. The crew has faced their first proper eurosolo. The guy just dove behind his car and suddenly had an SMG materialized in his hand and tried to shoot out their tires before anyone could do something. Speed is king in the combat system and a guy with high Combat Sense is literally faster than cybertech. Solos are scary not because they are hp sponges and metal freaks but because they can duck behind cover and put rounds in you before you can react. Now they're going to face their second one, a mercenary assassin working for the British military junta. A particular rocker has earned a place on the brit's hit list. Eurosolo snipers are dang good.
people suggesting when Blackhand raided Arasaka with Silverhand he stole information relating to soulkiller before the tower blew up, possibly using it to save himself from death and live as a rogue ai through mr. blue eyes.
shame i really wanna watch morgan vs smasher man but they kinda ret con it..i hope we goonna see it in a dlc..during johnny vs smasher it has some timeskip i hope during the timeskip morgan came and save him before smasher catch him back
what if... Maximum Mike is Morgan Blackhand? Mike seems to know too much stuff, plus his deep voice sure fits the design of a character as Morgan, its just some random speculation.
What if blackhand is instead one of the best netrunners out there and has planted stories about himself, that could also be the reasons stats are implied
I suppose investing in a business, like a weapons vendor or ripper doc clinic is not entirely out of the question, but currently there is no info on such things.
@@Kazuliski Has it been said if there's any antiaging tech, or meds, in 2077? or in Cyberpunk in general, though there is also dropping your consciousness in a new body...
Welcome Back Choom! Need Cyberpunk 2077 Lore? Playlist: bit.ly/2DmU66x
8:09 - 8:51 Kazuliski, is that a picture of you scolding a clickbait-streetrat-TH-camr, for posting videos with misleading titles?
It's funny that you should mention that Choomba... some have said I look like Morgan...
Probably will watch Alita when it comes out on Blu-Ray
My favorite childhood hero so far. Cheers Choomba!

I feel like Morgan Blackhand is kinda a bit like like the Punisher.
I was thinking the same thing lol
Definitely they should get Jon Bernthal.
Morgan avoids killing when possible
He's gonna be my V's childhood hero.
Excellent choice!
Too bad you can't choose a childhood hero..
@@nichtdiejeniche3845 damn Lizard I came here to say the same thing!
@@nichtdiejeniche3845 yeah sucks that the feature was removed. Could've made then conversation options when talking about or too these characters. Like how you have dialogue for nomad, street kid, and corpo, you could've had "childhood hero" dialogue.
Seconded!
Childhood hero already picked: Morgan Blackhand.
Thanks for the amazing and inspirational video!
Thank you for watching Vinicius!
Lmao
CDPR: You are clearly not supposed to do this
This didn't age well
Jesus, I remember my old man sitting around playing dominoes with all his military buddies & other than the blue eyes, literally every single one of them fits this description nearly to the T.

Shit, Blackhand is basically every big ass Euro-Puerto Rican dude from Bk who joined the army way back in the day and was sent to Panama/Central/South America.
Would not be surprised if Mike got some inspiration from his military friends for the character
Big respect, my old man too, and he was German/Dominican. Weird how many guys exist like that
i’m puerto rican myself…know people like that and I kinda get what you mean
Morgan blackhand, johnny silverhand. My V is called Vincent Redhand. Cause he beats enemies to death with gorilla arms.
Morgan Blackhand, I really wanted to see this dude. Hope phantom Liberty gives us an option to see him. Seeing how intertwined Militech is with the NUSA we have to get conformation hes alive and even meet him.
He reminds me of Big Boss from MGS but extra badass.
Morgan Blackhand is totally going to be my character's first childhood hero. It gels with the current career path of our char in any event.
Excellent choice Venatio!
Atleast Morgan blackhand didn't get cut in half by an autoshotgun like somebody else...
I wonder how Mike will resolve that one...
Sucks that David didn't have much streetwise, he would learn you don't need too much cyberware to be the best there's also the Morgan Blackhand path.

Considering David didn't even know who Smasher was, he probably had no idea about Blackhand.
"Nice guy image..." Yeah, my V would like to skip that and get directly to the "recruited by Militech" part. 3:05 shows exactly what my V wants.
Everyone has their own path to follow...
You sound like Adam smasher
So if Johnny is Chipin In… Morgan is *Chipin Out?*
I suspect he did...
Hey Kazuliski, I’ve been late due to a massive playlist of watch later videos! 😂
So, Blackhand is sort of like the post-MGS3 Big Boss of Cyberpunk.
Hell yeah, what I've been waiting for! Lol. I've decided I'm going to rp that my V is a grandson of Blackhand (real name Vincent Blackhand) who wants to make a name for himself out side his grandads legacy (while still revering him and his style)
I actually wonder if Morgan ever had offspring...
I mean he sounds like a straight shooter if ya know what I meaning
Blackhand once used a Militech lascannon to kill a dude behind truck, cut the guy clean in half....as well as the truck.....and a few other things behind the dude & the truck....
It's a hell of a gun.
They need an expansion with Morgan Blackhand. I know he has to be alive!
Well the childhood hero bit was cut from the game. Probably an early idea before they came up with the starting life paths. So far in my play through Morgan has only been mentioned. Though he does sound like a bad ass who even as old as he would be in 2077 would kick V’s ass for sure.
So Morgan is pretty much the equivalent of the equalizer in the future lol dope I can’t wait to meet him
I just finished watching this video Kaz i honestly loved it. Digging up all of that history and lore thank you so much. I owe you 👍
Good to see you again James, glad you liked it!
@@Kazuliski i did and i always watch your videos the moment i can.

Thanks for stopping by Alex!
Clint Eastwood as Morgan Blackhand would be perfect! He has the raspy voice and in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" he even looks like him! The hair and the cigar are on point!

Well my little choom let me tell you something, ever heard about a little something called Voice Acting and remember In the lore and the wiki he is said to be over a hundred years old so Clint as he is now WILL STILL WORK!!!
Wish they kept the childhood hero options
‘THE BATMAN’ of the Cyberpunk Universe to be more precise.

Thanks Dark Killer
Who else got this in their recommended 1 year later?
Thanks for Chippin' In!
I love these lore videos. I wish they would make a cyberpunk 2077 novel or even a comic book series to help learn about the lore.
I suspect they might, but only after the game has been released...

Do you think they will add any more options for childhood hero and those starting options because three seems somewhat restrictive don’t you think.

CP Red and CP '77 will continue the legend? oh, i am all-together on board for this.

I love it another awesome video data upload kazuliski yes more lore.😎

Your welcome and your helping me learn more about the cyberpunk universe.

Keanu reeves should of been cast Morgan.
So much for the childhood hero part of the game.
Portrait of Morgan Blackhand done by Dan Smith!
Indeed, unfortunate its not available in HQ
A cyberpunk Frank Castle. I dare you to think of something more badass
Ok is Mr. Blue Eyes Morgan.

no
So he's Cyber Big Boss.

still can't decide which i want for my V's child hood hero black hand or johnny choices choices.....
Multiple playthroughs might be necessary...
you mean ARE necessary ;)
Well that timeline didn't hold up...
jeffery dean should play as him
I was admiring this guy and looking up to him as the true role model (contrary to Johnny Silverhand) until its revealed he's a simp @ 4:01 smh
I have a theory that Victor is Morgan
