Cyberpunks Legendary Solo - Morgan Blackhand | FULL Cyberpunk Lore 

Check out part 3 of the Legends of Night City here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eP-VY50XgKM.html

Blackhand definitely survived the tower cez Smasher would be bragging for sure if he killed him

Johnny wasn't saved by Morgan, Johnny was cut in half by Smasher and Spider Murphy saved him with the engram provided by Alt. Johnny effectively died in the tower quite unheroically and it is why he has such a vendetta against Smasher, even if he doesn't remember the true reason as to why.

I am thinking even if we don't get a Solid Morgan clue in the DLC it's all most but confirmed he is going to play a major role in the next Cyberpunk title.

If Morgan Blackhand was indeed apart of the Arasaka crew, and he as well as Spider Murphy were the ones who saved Johnny and turned him into an Engram, it's very possible they changed Johnny's memories to help keep it as a black ops mission with no info leaks. This would also let Morgan fade into obscurity.

16:19 well when you meet with alt in 2077, if you tell alt you saw johnnys memories she talks about how you saw “his subjective account of what happened” and said his mind has warped the events into something that didn’t actually happen. i dont think we should be trusting johnnies memories for any of these events

Mike Pondsmith did confirm Blackhand wont appear in PL, apparently he still wants to finish his story with it being his own tabletop character its understandable the character means a lot to him and he wants to do it right, however there is a chance we could hear something about him in it but i can see it being just a little reference because they will of course keep his identity a secret.

Morgan Blackhand could easily be the protagonist of the Dos Equis commercial. "They say he saved Kerry Eurodyne without firing a single shot. His adversaries were so impressed that they changed their ways and lived a decent life. He is the most interesting man in the world... In 2020, his book, "The Enforcer's Handbook", had sold over one million copies. The entire solo profession was improved by its release. He is the most interesting man in the world..."

I love how Militech and Arasaka are so unique and different in their own ways. Where Arasaka keeps Adam Smasher’s PS2 memory disk in their pocket and uses him whenever they need to deploy a walking atrocity, Militech’s poster child is hailed for not taking lives unless necessary. Not that that makes the corp any better, but it’s interesting they aren’t going for a murder machine slugging match. Suppose the world has endured enough apocalyptic events

Sometimes I like to think he died when the Arasaka tower got bombed. Emphasis on Died. Like the name died but not him. He left the game, made his legend, and took on a different alias.

This proves that Johnny's flashbacks are DEFINITELY non-canon, and like other freshly dead folks thrown into Soulkiller, his memories are fragmented and incomplete. His narcissism probably filled the blanks himself, based on his own ego, his hatred for Arasaka, and his love of action movies (Bushido X, anyone?)

We know for sure Johnny recollection of events are not what he thinks, Alt mentioned so my guess is, Spider and Blackhand put him into soul killer before he died and twist the events for two reasons, Johnny would have love to be the martyr who died facing the corpos and second and most important, it was blackops so the leader Morgan Blackhand needed to be out of the picture to cut any ties back to Militech so all the blame went straight to Silverhand and Arasaka would never know who provided the tactical nuke

My favorite quote from Blackhand: I like a micromissile launcher with an under rifle microwaver. I call it shake and bake.

If Morgan isn't talked about in Phantom Liberty, there's still a chance that he might be seen in Orion, the sequel to 2077.

Johnny doesn't mention him because he doesn't share the spotlight, so I have always believed that the engram Johnny edited him out of the whole thing so he could be the center of attention. The main focus.

I remember way back when cp2077 was first announced and the life paths they had, had you "choose your hero". I wish they had kept that in and expanded on it.

I think it's hinted at that Morgan Blackhand, albeitly very very loosely, is behind the memory tampering of the Perelez's. So it's also likely that Johnny's memory was altered in order to cover up the government's involvement and make it so when Arosaka interrogated Johnn'y engram, they'd only get the image of a terrorist act. Could also explain why Johnny's engram was top shelf and was regarded as special from other engrams. Maybe Arasaka knew the memory had been tampered with and were keeping it in hopes of getting the truth?

i feel if they got Keanu to play Johnny Silverhand i really think they should get Jon Berthal (the punisher) to play Blackhand

Wonder if Johnny's unreliable narrative is a MGSV scenario his delusion is a deliberate ploy to protect Morgan - the real "Big Boss" - from Arasaka discovery.

It's also interesting that in Johnny's memory, Adam Smasher sure isn't wearing a DaiOni suit either.

In Cyberpunk edgerunners, David's crew is tasked with the extraction of a VIP who has been kidnapped by the booster gang the Maelstrom. When they arrive to the Totentanz, David and his crew fight off the Maelstrom members and come face to face with a cyberpshycho, presumably Hammer, the founder of the gang. After beating him, they rescue the VIP, a girl named Isabella Morgan. Upon finding her, David informs her that her father has sent them to recue her. Out of all posible surnames to give to a random character why choose the one shared by the most famous merc of Nightcity? To me this is some sort of easter egg

I love those series so much, I hope that you can do Sandayu Oda at some point too

Yes! This channel is what I was looking for but didn't know I was looking for it. I decided to start preparing a Cyberpunk Red campaign last week, the more lore I absorb the better my adventures. Cheers and thanks

This channel is a pleasant surprise. Keep up the good work. V lives!

I always figured the legend that Johnny was behind the tower attack instead of Morgan Blackhand was Militech trying to distance themselves from the event after the fact. 50 years isn't a long time but you can rewrite a lot of history in that short period of time with the influence and resources at Militech's disposal, especially with all of the chaos going on during the time of the red

Great video. Hope to see more!

Great lore video, I hope you do one on the band members and their music career in Samurai. 🗡️

Would love a Cyberpunk prequel where you play as Morgan Blackhand (not a player character like V) and go toe to toe with Smasher throughout the 4th corporate war!

I want more background on the legends, especially Bartmoss.

I hope we get to meet morgan blackhand in the phantom liberty dlc,and i agree i belive the interaction with silverhand and blackhand is going to be a crazy one.

Morgan Blackhand, Johnny Silverhand, what's next Tucker Copperhand, Sandy Bluehand?

I just read a shard about him! Damn so glad I found this. Great vid n channel! Binging your vids now lol

I think if Smasher survived then Morgan Blackhand would as well if they were both the top 2 mercs on the planet. Rogue managed to escape and survive until 2077 so Blackhand could. I think him and Johnny will team up again through V for a special op for the NUSA president. Maybe that space shuttle was brought down in an attempted coup and they think the president is dead but the president survived and they are keeping it quiet until they have neutralised the threat. The NUSA is backed by Militech so Blackhand would be part of that.

Never would have thought you’d raced go karts. I have a massive love for racing and video games so I think that is so cool you do also.

A platoon style short series of the south american war in cyberpunk followin a squad of nusa soldiers stranded in the jungle trying not to die from their cyberpyscho commander would be crazy good.

Awesome vid!!

Man, I want a TV show about cyberpunk so bad. Morgan Blackhand story would be so fun to watch. If they do it right.

I believe he was a lead.., he just lead his half. Morgan handled the rest. and tbh.., who can dictate what Adam decides to target.., He can hate Johnny.., but have uncontrollable processing throttling in the presence of Morgan black hand.

My God I like the way you do these videos dude. Keep it up 👍

Anyone that knows the true sequence of events from the tabletop game would recognize that Johnny's "memories" from CP2077 are more inline with Morgan Blackhand's. Morgan was the one who set the bomb, and Morgan was the one who fought Smasher on the rooftop. Johnny actually died like a bitch in some crappy computer lab. Spider Murphy slotted him with Soulkiller, but couldn't retrieve his engram since her datacase was damaged, and his body was just left in the tower. My personal take on it is, since Johnny was technically dead when slotted with SK, the program couldn't copy the parts of his brain that stopped functioning. His engram was incomplete. Morgan was then captured, likely by Smasher, and Soulkilled (e.g. - the scene of "Johnny" in the chair) and his memories/personality used to fill in the blanks of Johnny's engram. A couple interesting tidbits to support this claim... all the artwork of Silverhand from the ttrpg shows him as clean-shaven, with Morgan always rocking stubble or a beard. Yet in 2077, Johnny "remembers" himself as having a beard. Also, Johnny's (Keano's) voice sounds nothing like the guy singing those Samurai songs; the voice V is hearing might actually be what Blackhand sounded like. There might be a couple other things, but I don't have enough time invested in CP2077 to find them. Still, it's some food for thought.

God, I hope we get more information in the DLC. It’s like we are missing a big ass plot hole with 2077 cause of the distance it makes with the solos in universe

It'd be great to get a game or DLC devoted to Johnny and Morgan's early days

Given V's natural abilities, what if during phantom liberty, we find out that V is Blackhand's illegitimate kid? V has the leadership skills, the merc skills, the ability to withstand massive amounts of cyberware (given that it's possible to max out your cyberware in act 1). Just a speculation.

I would love one on Bartmoss or Spider!

The fact that the mostly-human Mr. Blackhand not only survived to middle age as an SOF guy in the 'synthetics rule' world of _Cyberpunk_ , but _thrived_ ... speaks much to how capable he was. And to complete all those Militech missions less-lethally, too! I just barely finished my first watch-through of the _Edgerunners_ anime. Well worth the wait and avoiding spoilers! Inspired me to pen some ideas for a fanfic... now I just need to get some sourcebooks to keep me on the right path.

Love your videos! Hot take, phantom liberty is Morgans re surface back in 2077 and he's ready to finish smasher because he lived when V melted him down (PL's hook), and hes going to continue the fight on Arasaka and restore a phantoms past of liberty. He was alive in the early times and probably wants a call to arms of liberty. Very basic assumption tho.

Then this sounds like when we're in the pov of Johnny raiding the Tower, its actually Morgan we're playing as.

So did Johnny know it was a militech operation? I feel like he wouldn’t want to carry out an op for a corp, but maybe he just hated Arasaka more and decided to work with militech

I think Karl Urban could play an old Blackhand in Orion.

So he’s basically the Big Boss/Venom Snake of Cyberpunk.

I wish Morgan had a quest line toward the end of the game where he comes out of hiding to train V to fight Adam Smasher. He’d basically be the Landon Ricketts to V’s John Marston

Is the helmet at 0:07 one you can equip? I've been wanting a full faced visor helmet like that since forever

For whatever reason, Weyland Boa Boa, who _is_ confirmed to be dead, doesn't have his own drink in The Afterlife either.

Nothing but questions and more left...so strange.

knew of the guy in the game but not his lore funny enough. the setting is pretty cool and glad it became a video game

Morgan Blackhand would've been Cyberpunk's Geralt of Rivia. It'll be funny to think that CDPR wanted Mike Pondsmith's IP because of the similarities between the two then would agree that Blackhand would never appear in the game

How old would Morgan be in the time of the Red? If he was in the army in the 80's (let's say he joined at 18). Wouldn't that put him in his 60's at the time of 2020 and 80's in the Red?

I love how he says Arasaka 😆

2:36 As someone who races real cars- please avoid having G fuel during strenuous activities, even if its just gokarts :) Drink water and get proper sleep.

Morgan's plot armor is stronger than Batman

Wise fish brother I’ve seen a few of your videos and I have to know on your dark ones lore video towards the end of your video where the dark ones walk away from Artyom what is the song name playing with the girl humming with the piano in the background it has been bugging me since I’ve see n the video I can’t remember where I’ve heard it

I LOVE phatom liberty but I was hoping Morgan blackhand would make an appearance. Maybe in another dlc or something 🤞🏼

been waiting for this thank fish ow by the way wean are we gane hear more of wolf queen of solitude?

While I'm not sure if it would be difficult or not, i feel like they could get Clint Eastwood to play Morgan, or maybe model him after a young Eastwood.

Haaaa i love that they have basically a hitman award. Wonder what the categories are like most artistic kill or something the mind boggles.

I think its worth mentioning: Just because Johnny doesnt remember his death quite correctly, doesnt make him less badass. When he faced Smasher, he did it probably knowing full well he was going to die. He bought his friends time so that they could live. Its true his narcissism twisted those memories over time but lets congratulate him on having brass balls in that moment.

WiseFish, if you had to pick a fish which fish would you be?

Is it just me does he kind of look like big boss from metal gear?

I feel like morgan blackhand reads like solid snake lmao

I was really hoping to see blackhand in the dlc. Missed opportunity imo. Phantom Liberty was fantastic regardless.

Hopefully we get to see more Blackhand in the next Cyberpunk game if not in the current Cyberpunk 2077. Though I’m pretty sure that game is at least a whole console generation away🤷‍♂️😂

It was and wasn't a surrender, never fade away

I've got an odd feeling that the DLC is going to have something to do with Edgerunners

Morgan will be back for the ttrpg, Mike Pondsmith is saving him for something

So totally unrelated to the video, but what kinda racing do you do WiseFish? I'd love to see some vlog style videos of your racing!

Am I the only one that thinks Morgan Black hand looks like Billy Butcher from the Boys comic?

Jonny and morgan are in the same engram conjoined at the hip

One letter…V! That’s what makes a legend.

When he mentions about Morgan confronting a few maelstroms he should of continued the scene with the leader, but the video is still perfect without it.

There's a theory that Morgan's become Mr. Blue Eyes. Taken over by a rogue AI.

sadly the creator of the cyberpunk universes confirmed that Blackhand won't be in the DLC

What’s the next franchise you plan to cover WiseFish?

It is interesting that you speak abt tv news report that we find in the game. Somebody with black hand cybernetics kills Lazarus agents, Lazarus corporation is not seen in Cyberpunk2077 game at all. They are a military corp working close with Militech in the lore. Now watch Phantom Liberty expansion trailers. We fight some new military faction there. It doesnt look like Militech. Lazarus corp confirmed in Phantom Liberty ???

Yeah that crime in Japan time was most likely a doppelganger. There's a johnny silverhand doppelganger in a mission that's dead and you need to grab gps coordinates off him. People in night city seem to try and replicate past legends in every way

My theory is Morgan is alive and Rogue knows and is keeping it under wraps, it's hinted at she has a child, she even says so, but doesn't talk about it. What if Morgan Blackhand is the father!? And will end up poping up, assuming they do more games

This game man. The bugs are almost endearing at this point. Dedicated fan delivers a serious monologue about the history of Morgan Blackhand - Militech mech hovering in place on screen. Good video though, dude.

I wish there was more lore for Shaitan.

I always felt Jeffrey Dean Anderson (Neagan) would nake a great morgan blackhand in a film or a tv series

To be fair johnny was high

why didn't he work in the demolitions sector or in mining since they both use explosives

Aw man now my favorite character Johnny got turned into the most underwhelming uninteresting goofy side character

Susan Forest, MaxTac Legend next please

Wow this is totally different from the trip portrayed in the game

Use my code WISEFISHYT to get up to 30% off - gfuel.ly/3SefEXT

Gfuel seems to influence alot on the legend of Morgan Blackhand

Morgan’s character model looks a lot like Mr Blue Eyes

Next video should be about the corporate wars

I wanna play as a soldier during the 2nd and 4th corpo war.

Morgan had Target Analysis Mod on

Just throwing it out because he has a black hand and was in the army but what if Mitch is really Morgan?
