      There's a few other errors as well; first off, when Johnny talks about the friend that sacrificed himself for him, he was referring to the owner of the dogtags, meaning Robert John Linder, who "gave up his life" so Johnny Silverhand would live. An interesting detail (error?) in that is that the blood type on Robert's dogtags are different than the blood type listed in the ripper clinic that Johnny wakes up in after the 'saka ambush where Alt was taken. Secondly, Arasaka never used Soulkiller on Alt, it was Johnny that killed her, according to Alt herself, who claim Johnny's flashbacks have no relation to the truth. In the lore, Alt had already done a number on Arasaka when Johnny arrived, having stolen 20 million eddies, taken over the building's defenses and turned it on Arasaka, and killed their Netrunners trying to stop her, by the time Johnny arrived she was basically 8ug8ear in that Gig, screaming in cyberspace to not disconnect her, which he did unknowingly, severing her connection to her digital ghost and killing her body. If Johnny had just stayed the fuck out of it, odds are she would have gotten away on her own at that point.
      Additionally, Yorinobu stole the Relic not to confront Saburo directly, but to sell it to Netwatch (though exactly what Netwatch was offering him was never clear). If you take down the Netwatch agent in the GIM and get hit by the Voodoo wammy, you can read on his laptop a fractured message from Evelyn, talking about Netwatch specifically wanting Johnny's engram, not the Relic in general (likely for the same reason the VDBs want it, for baiting Alt), which seems a bit of a weird stretch for him to go along with just to provoke his father, and potentially piss off Netwatch if he didn't follow through. Yorinobu's purpose was always to go against Arasaka and destroy it, to "become bomb" as he puts it in the Devil ending. Saburo meanwhile needs the Relic itself for his own reasons, again as seen in the Devil/Arasaka ending, Johnny's engram is unimportant to him, and was just a means of transportation from Mikoshi.

    Alt specifically states that Silverhand's memories are not accurate. The documentation on the Relic you get from Helman also implies that no Engram is ever a perfect copy of the original person. Spider made an Engram of a dying egomaniac. So it's easy to imagine that his Engram had several memory gaps that were filled in based on Johnny's personality.

      In the scene where Johnny shoots Toshiro, he is holding the Malorian in his meat-hand, even though lorewise the gun is supposed to be so powerful it requires a cyberarm to use without breaking your wrist.
      These "mistakes" (like Johnny's memories of fighting Smasher on the rooftop) might be indications of Morgan Blackhand's memories being spliced into Johnny's engram. I don't think the changes and discrepancies are entirely ego-driven, since engrams aren't like flesh memories. They are simply digitized copies of memories. When Johnny was Soulkilled, the program would have only copied his memories AS THEY WERE at the time of his death. In my opinion, something else is happening here, and if you follow the tabletop lore, you'll see a lot of Morgan's personality and other traits in 2077 Johnny.
      For example, in all the ttrpg artwork, Silverhand is clean-shaven, while Blackhand has stubble/beard. Yet in the video game, Johnny "remembers" himself with a beard. That could just be another Blackhand-intrusion upon Johnny's spliced engram, just like him using his right hand (the hand Morgan had chromed) to shoot the Malorian.

      His memories were edited, you can see a glitch just after he passed alway in the official version, then somehow he magically scape from smasher running up the stairs and somehow smasher magically appears on top of the building, that was pretty much a false memory implanted so he could be torture by Arasaka and used as a lure for Alt, he was soulkilled when Murphy hits him with the chip, also there is a line in which Greyson said just how, Arasaka indeed retrieved the chip from Murphy's case an that's how they have it an why it doesn't work so well.

    When Johnny shows you the dog tags, they are Robert Linders. So when he says that the guy had to die so that Johnny could live, i took that to mean that Linders died so that Silverhand could be 'born' also seems to make sense with what lore I've read regarding Johnny deserting. And its also a popular literary trope.

    • @WforBogart
      @WforBogart 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      I always found it weird that Johnny mentions that the dog tags were his friend's, while they're actually his. now it makes perfect sense!
      Robert Linders, the soldier, who we can assume was at least an idealist and thought being in the army was a good idea, had ''died'' after finding out the true nature of corporations and how closely they're tied to (if not controlling) the military and politics, so he had begun his crusade as Johnny Silverhand. thanks for your comment, man!
      giving the dog tags to V IMO means that he still has some semblance to his past idealism, and wants V to hold unto it and never change for the ''worst''.

      You are 100% correct. Every story about past events will always be distorted by the beliefs, interpretations, level of understanding and motivation of the person telling the story. The colective interpretation of these stories by a nation state creates something that tells a glorified version of history. The more a story about a brave person who has done something extraordinary and for this has gained respect and admiration is retold the more the story becomes a legend. This is what happened with Johny he became a legend a person larger then life. Everyone retold his story and many people aded their spin on it.

    As an anarchist myself, Silverhand has to be one of my favourite portrayals of anarchists in media. Too often they are presented as overly naive and well intentioned hippies, and even more often as mindless terrorists who just want chaos for the sake of it.
    Johnny is a lot more believable, an inperfect individual who both cares (maybe even too much) about the injustice around him, while also being quite egocentric and wanting to play hero. He wanted to make the world better while also making himself feel better, and he tried doing so by pacificic means such as protest, performance and music, until he was so desperate and depressed he became openly violent.
    He is not romanticized, but he isn't demonized either.

    While the theory that Johnny’s memories are fabricated may be plausible, I still believe that they are actually true. It’s clear that the in game universe diverts from the original board game story somewhat. I’d also like to point out that every character you meet in 2077 recognises that Silverhand was responsible for the bombing of Arasaka tower, whilst never mentioning Morgan Blackhand. It seems CDPR are yet to even touch Blackhand, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw him in the next game.

    • @Ausb710
      @Ausb710 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      From what I've seen, Mike Pondsmith isn't entirely sure where he wants Morgan's story to go following the bombing so he probably didn't want to have to write around the games lore later on.

    Johnny was definitely an Ingram in his in his flash back. He died in that room not on the roof but his ego made him believe he escaped and was interrogated. Tho I remember something about soul killing enemies tgen getting as much info from the data. I wonder if that's what happened to him. They messed with his memories.

    Johnny is a really interesting depiction of how everything, including resistance, gets commodified under this dystopic capitalist future. His resistance to capital is completely controlled by the corps he's fighting against. The inaccurate depiction of events we see on his flash backs in 2077 are an idealized version of events, as if Johnny cant be honest with himself and doesn't realize his "revolution" was completely coopted by the corps. He's a bit of a poser, he sells himself as a revolutionary all while being a pawn in the fight between arasaka and millitech like most mercs. Something that is completely left out of his idealized version of events we see in 2077.

    In the year 2077, the world had changed a lot. The corporations had become even more powerful, and the line between the real and the virtual world had all but disappeared. The only way to survive was to be fast, smart, and ruthless, and that's where our protagonist, Ash, came in.
    Ash was a skilled mercenary, hired by the highest bidder to take on dangerous missions in the city's darkest corners. She had a reputation for getting the job done, no matter what the cost. But one day, she received a job that would change her life forever.
    The job came from a mysterious figure known only as "The Hacker." The Hacker had a reputation for being one of the best in the business, and his services were highly sought after by the corporations. But he had a secret agenda, and he needed Ash's help to carry it out.
    The Hacker had discovered a way to access the virtual world, a place where the corporations stored all their

  • @MobileSuitAce91
    @MobileSuitAce91 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    [*spoilers*]
    I have a contrary opinion. Saburo says that the dead never lie, what's more we know Johnny reasonably has the skills to do what he said he did. Being the world of corpo lies and deceit I feel that the version where it was all blackhand is actually the lie since militech nor arasaka would like to admit a rockerboy stole the show as it were. After all in the end where you let Johnny control V he solos arasaka tower. Johnny is no saint, and he deserves the majority of bad opinions levied at him, however it doesn't change the fact that even when he was trying to find alt and soulkiller with the virus rogue only thought he was after fame trying to upload some bs. So maybe a lot of his good intentions and moments get outshined by, "oh, Johnny would never do that."

  • @Tanstaafl_74
    @Tanstaafl_74 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If Johnny was born in 1988 and playing in a Samurai in 2003 he would be 15 years old. Meaning he lied about his age at around 12 or younger, fought in a war, lost his arm, came back, got a cybernetic arm formed a band and then at the ripe old age of 15 the story starts to pick up.
    This seems fishy.
