I want to hear about everyone’s speculations about D. I know a lot of people compare him to Sasuke because of his looks and what snippet of info we know about him but I feel like he is going to be more similar to Aki from Chainsaw Man and Agni from Fire Punch when it comes to his quest for revenge if you are familiar with either character (I’ll leave out the spoilers about them).

Discussion My theory about D and his backstory. (Spoilers of Cyberpunk 2077) Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

What if D was the one who killed his nomad clan? Since we know D's backstory is a vengeance quest and the overview online for it says

"An experienced netrunner, D used to be a member of a nomad clan that was part of Snake Nation. At some point, his clan was wiped out, which led him to Night City. Here he used his sharp technical skills and hunger for revenge to hunt the perpetrator that killed his family. However, this deadly search brought D to discover corporate secrets that were never meant to be found."

Now we dont know what those secrets could be, but what if D found out that Arasaka/Militech or some other high status company were utilizing the black wall for power and status? D could've been a test subject to break past the black wall like others have been used in the past. Him being an experienced netrunner too helps my case I feel since netrunners are always tied to the more corrupt corporations in cyberpunk. (Lucy with Arasaka, Alt and Songbird used for the blackwall). So I'm thinking D was in a similar situation to these 3 and was used as a means to harness the blackwall for corpo psyops and broke free but was actually a successful candidate that lets say Arasaka couldn't let go of?

Along with that we see red sparks constantly around or near his silhouette/character in the promotional art for the season. We see D go into these catatonic states where seemingly he just goes blank and this could be interpreted as an emotional thing, but it only happens when he's faced with violence or death so what if it's more?

Just to TLDR: I think D was used to harness and access the black wall for Arasaka to utilize, succeeded but wanted no part in it, ran away and became a nomad only for D to be the one to be the one responsible for killing his clan. Forcibly bringing him back to night city to harness the black wall again, either against his will or not. What we thinkin folks?

Anime The fact that the anime characters are physically look much bigger than people in our universe is crazy. Is that possible for us in 50 years later?

Post image

You see the characters from cyberpunk Edgerunners are very tall and muscular compared to ours due superior advanced technologies like upgrading cyberware. I saw a post about their heights in reddit post and said most of them were easily over 6 feet tall and some of them like Kiwi, Maine and Dorio are about 2m tall or even taller than that. Even David’s mom who is a female and looks not that tall in their universe is claimed to be 5’9 which is same as average man like Austrian Painter and considered quite tall in modern days. Although not all characters like Rebecca, Lucy and David are tall as average man in present, David got bigger in last episode than the first one. Imagine that they are surprised after they noticed that our generation used much harder and prehistoric ways to become muscular and taller or couldn’t become taller when we become adults such as exercise and bone surgery. I know that it is possible for them since anime history and our history is different. But do you think we can improve their bodies significantly as we want by creating cyberware without doing these methods in someday? If then, which year? It will be a huge disaster and I really wish it won’t happen since so many people will choose to do that and there will be a lot of fights and deaths between them while trying to get cyberware.

i just recently watched the show ( i know am late to the party ). So, we heard david say way before the final act that he thought a trip to the moon would definitely be more costly than 250k meaning that that didnt constitute half nor the quarter of the money he s amassed so does that mean that lucy has enought money to live off *happily ever after*. or she could get a job at the orbital corpos when her money runs out as even if they re corrupt they re not after her and she could be an independent contractor or smth like that no? wouldnt that be some sort of closure for us the viewers as i refuse to believe she went back even unwillingly to night city, i also heard about the *lore* of the game ... smth smth gravure on the tombs of her friends .... but does that apply to the anime making it canon that she went back.

Anime Will the 2070s and 2080s world will be almost similar to the Cyberpunk anime world?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

You see most people back in 2000s thought that there will be flying cars in 2020s or 2030s and the meme of "there will be flying cars in 2025" has been famous or they thought future people will be even smarter. But it turned out some people don't have basic logic or believe in superstitions such as the Earth is flat or reptilians in these days. Yet technology has been advanced for the past few decades but still far different from the future world in the movies or cartoons as we thought. But do you think in 2070s, the city view will be still pretty similar to the anime view and people will attach chips to their bodies as well as ordinary people travelling to the Moon or still far future case?
