@@ImKevinnbro you have to do a manga commentary series ( where you comically explain the manga in parts ) , if you do please do start with sakamoto days it’s so raw
"How did Adam Smasher not go Cyberpsycho?" well, we'll put it this way. You go cyberpsycho when you lose your humanity by installing too much cyberware. In other words, you gotta have humanity to lose in the first place, and in the case of Adam Smasher... he didn't. That man was a soulless killing machine long before the cyberware.
David was never adam smasher type of special. He just had absurdly high tolerance and that is rare but not special. Although adam pointed out that he has potential and maybe in time he could be adam smasher 2.0 with decades of work put into him by arasaka. Maelstrom gang are full of psychos or even cyberpsychos that are relatively high functioning. Albeit they have their bouts of murder sprees now and then. If he kept the chroming down. Maybe half his body or even 70% he woudlve been fine maybe? But going full borg will do anyone in. Something unexplained about the brain rejecting the chrome. Maybe signal overload but delusions start sooner or later for everyone. Loss of reality. Adam smasher though, he was already a peak psycho insane. So for him losing his mind was just another tuesday. 96% chrome. It's just a brain in the vat with the nerves for tendrils perhaps.
Adam Smasher is a complete menace. To the squad , he a complete legend. To Smasher, this is just average Tuesday & he’ll forget about them come tomorrow
In the game series like the books and lore smasher and black hand fought on a building mid collapse as a nuke was blowing up inside of it. Atom smasher is the equivalent of dracula flow. He is him. Fighting David's crew, that shit meant nothin to him. Just another day at the office. This is why this big super weapon that David had at the end was just a toy to him. He took one look at it and knew exactly what its weaknesses were. We talking a dude who during the corpo wars was solo'ing squads of cyberpunk's version of Gundams
@@BigdaddyBigfoot-km9hrnah the way my v just violates him in game is crazy though. In game he’s just a small fry there to receive my back shots lil bro can’t do nun 😭😭😭 Lore adam smasher better than game smasher
@@Poiplimu this actually was one of the largest complaints in the game was how pathetic the adam smasher fight was. We dealing with an iconic character that can move at like 70 mph run, loaded with the latest hardware and software and has a near century of skills and experience. And what do they have him do. He was basically just a beefed up regular enemy. He should have been a multi stage cinematic event taking place in, around, and on arasaka tower. Should have had a fight that basically spanned night city. Have the people you helped in side quests help you out. Like the fight has been brought outside and is rolling through the streets, then boom, here comes some of those AI guys limos launching off an overpass into smasher.
This show.....To your Eternity....A Silent Voice, the three shows that have made me actually cry Dang this comment has become a hodge podge of tears and mental breakdowns due to these and other shows, stand proud mental health you are important
@@alaminaliyu6011 ONG I hit the gym when the episode came out ngl I even quote that old drunk dude “The time you use moping, is the time you can use to make yourself an interesting person”
Nah I deadass put that nigga Adam smasher on pack watch in David’s drip and finished him with Rebecca’s shotgun while using the sandevistan, yea we all slided for David and the gang and we love to see it.
@@ImKevinn Facts. Her death had zero impact on the ending too. Think about it, nothing about the last 6 minutes of the show changes whether she gets away with Falco and Lucy or not. If she had to die, they could have at least made it cool. It was mid AF, and almost played for laughs. Goomba stomp lmao. Absolutely foul.
is he was crazy even way before the cybernetics he is not like the monkey guy he is functional cyber psycho so hes crazy but he’s got in control is his body works with his mind
It's hinted in the name. Cyberpsychosis, not cybernetic psychosis or psychotic cybernetics. The implants just help agitate the mental instability and dehumanization like real wartime PTSD. Adam Smasher was already a sane nihilistic sociopath ready to kill on command, so all the digital demons in his head is just 64-bit versions of his real ones.
This anime honestly changed my perspective on some things, sometimes it really is better to live for yourself and your own dreams sometimes, rather than living for others and helping them achieve their own
@@ImKevinn aslong as he had the Sandevestan and Lucy this would have always been his outcome, arasaka would never have stopped hunting him and her. and eventually he would either fully succumb to cyberpsychosis and kill lucy by accident, or he would be in a situation similar to the show where he has to save her. the only way he would have had a different outcome is if his mother didnt die and he stayed in school.
@@modjoe4107And even then he would probably have ended up dead in a ditch, life in Night City is too unstable and there’s too many pitfalls to watch out for
Here is the thing with Adam Smasher. The man was born in NYC which in the cyberpunk lore is a hellhole, Adam did as many of the young bloods did and joined a gang then went into the marines then was discharged or kicked out of the marines went back to NYC and back to the gangs. Then during one job he gets hit with a RPG, gets turned in ground beef but survives. Then arasaka approaches him in the hospital and offer to turn him into a full borg. Adam gleefully accepts no hesitation. The man was psycho before becoming a cyborg so he wasn’t really affected by cyberpsychosis. Also any job by arasaka he takes, must have a high degree of violence and civilian casualties, he willing takes jobs were he can kill civilians. He isn’t even human anymore. His Full borg body is also heavily customized by him so he is beyond any cyborg in the cyberpunk world. But the man actual had a girlfriend who was the arasakas founders daughter.
@@ImKevinn he can switch into different cyborg body’s and had one body that looked almost human, its called the Gemini full borg conversion and comes with “All” the features of a human body. Also before he became a full Borg he was stated to like violent one night stands. So the man was probably a booty warrior too.
Oh yeah, I'm here for the emotional damage. Also Lucy is the wife you think want, but Becca is the ride or die you need to spend the rest of your life with.
@haruhixenos the song "I really wanna stay at your house" is played in the show when David and Lucy go on the moon date at the ending of the show. The song also comes on at random on the in game radio so you could be driving to a mission then are suddenly sobbing as you remember this show
26:09 On god, Edgerunners is basically the futuristic version of Akame Ga Kill, the main cast be dying when you least expect it, not even the fan favorites aren’t safe
You the goat for covering this, such a peak ass anime, you know its gonna end bad when david starts tweakin like maine but you dont want to believe it. The deaths are brutal, sudden and sad, mains hit the hardest esp with the soundtrack. I rarely cry, but this anime did it for me
I’ve seen all your videos, first let me acknowledge how much you’ve improved and build, you’re a great story teller and will only continue to be even greater. Second, when you drop a video, it’s a good day! You’ve done so many of my personal favorite (including GUMBALL!!!) thank you for sharing your art with us.
It's not even fair. They actually pulled Akame got killed where they make you like the characters then just kill them off the next episode 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's seems like Studio Trigger hasn't lost their edge when it comes to making Awesome Anime like this one but it is kinda Sad that some of the Characters ultimately met their Demise.
So, Davids character in the end was someone plagued by the people he loved. Their “dreams” he didn’t have his own particular dream. Promised to take Lucy to the moon which was her dream, his mother’s dream for him to be at the top of Arasaka tower… Etc. Cyberpunk is such a good story. Genuinely helped me look at life differently. Good video man.
This anime did pulled out some crazy feat. From improving the people's opinion about the game its based of (We've been made to forget about one if not the most disastrous game releases ever) and traumatizing the entire community with a certain song.
W video, I would also recommend you watch season 1 of arcane as it's a great show (maybe not as action packed as edge runners), and season 2 comes out in november! Don't let the fact that it's a league of legends story deter you.
I still play cyberpunk to this day and this anime hit me DIFFERENT. SO glad the goat is covering it. Now keep in mind, you can visit every place you see in the anime in the game. Including finding the gang's gear AND the jacket. You even get to learn about David through the NPC's. This game and anime are truly one of a kind. From Lucy's monowire, to david's Kerenzikov. And if you haven't played Cyberpunk yet. It's never too late. They patched and upgraded essentially everything. It's a great experience. Let alone, building your own story.
Spoiler: The scene where Maine dies if you look closely you can see that it cuts back to maines hallucination and in the hallucination Maine is running over the edge of the road and David is still standing at the end of the road foreshadowing the show
Bro, I’m not gonna lie. I was while tweaking waiting for this vid. I love your post so much that I have watched every video you’ve posted in a month. Keep doing what your doing man.
Edgerunners single handedly raised the player count for cyberpunk 2077 by 350%, ( so i hired ) and I damn know 100% those players came running at Adam smasher With Becca's shotgun absolutely handing his ASS to him.
Another great vid my guy! After seeing this (since I haven't watched the show yet, being on my bucket list) it made me realize a few things: 1. I see why Lucy is a DLC character for GG Strive now 2. This group deserved so much better 3. This anime is a subliminal marketing stunt (or whatever the actual term is) cause after this, if I were to buy the game and see Adam Smasher, it is ON. FUCKIN. SIGHT!! I won't stop until the smasher falls!
