The Dark Secrets Of The Arasaka Corporation | Cyberpunk 2077 Lore 

Im waiting for this ep to be on spotify as i just looked and its not on there lol

Now for Starfield lore I’m guessing

​@Change685 lol he's probably busy playing just releasing this now to distract us

​@@Change685I don't know about you but I want a video about the history of Biotechnica.

Hi there! I recently came across your channel while searching for information on CP, and I have to say, I'm thoroughly impressed! That was exactly what i WAS LOOKING FOR: ) Your videos delving into the lore are incredibly comprehensive and informative. Your narration is pleasant to listen to, and the length of the videos strikes a great balance. The way you present the information, both in terms of content and technically, is spot on. Naturally, I've already hit the like button and subscribed. Looking forward to more content from you in the future! Best regards! 😊👍

Hey smasher was a victim of circumstance again and again and again

@@Travula87Smasher was a psycho before the implants

​@@Travula87Evil is evil how you got there doesn't matter to your victims.

I mean, one of the "good guys" wrote soul killer. Arasaka just made them do it again for them.

​@Travula87 no smasher was an evil sociopath far before he met anyone in arasaka

That explains why people refer to Saburo as “the Emperor”. I’ve always wondered about that.

I've always thought that the more I looked into how they work

That could be said for every major corp!! Only thing difference is the CEO's of Arasoka coming from 1 family. It's still a mega Corp. It's just like people giving their companies to their kids now lol, that's not a empire. It's nepotism 😂😂

What's the difference? Every statist government at the macro scale operates as a business.

@AquaStockYT ones sole goal to to make money over everything else. While the other is actively trying to control everything including the corporations and every other aspect of society! On a macro/micro scale it applies to damn neat every aspect of society 🤣🤣

I am down for updates like that. We are out the Arasaka Tower with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Imagine wanting to use more nukes and kill more innocent people XD you aint no better then arasaka then smsrt one. Hell honestly you would be a bit worse atleast arasaka does not pretend to be anything but what they are.

@@noctotainlowry9246 There is like 1 "good" ending in this game. You can trust me i want to leavy a crater in this wasteland called Night City

@@Tioynux cool as long as you understand that makes you no better then arasaka or adam smasher or any of the top tier cunts. You would be exactly like them destroying the entire area killing more innocent people trying to live their lives(including the children btw) or are you gonna tell me the 10 year olds stuck in night city deserve to die a Torturous Radiation poisioning death because Arasaka bad. By using the nuclear option you become No better then the people are killing and Prove that they are right in the end and the strong can do what ever they want little people be dammed. Just your the one damming them now.

That would be an incredible main mission option

It's one of those "dude trust me" techs that seems a lot stretch because you still need all the raw materials for nanobots or whatever to work with. Still a terrifying idea.

Yeah such as eventually ending up with a doomsday like Horizon.

@@bodacious6622it did, the sea is full of rogue AIs taking over subs and mines. It’s why they can’t transport goods over the sea anymore

​@@Nope_handlesaretrashWonder if they might be scavenging boom from sunken ships...

Is arasaka a samsung in reality?

Korean. ​@@haoweihui-vf8nu

​@@haoweihui-vf8nuWell Samsung is South Korean... However they operate like Arasaka in a lot of ways including being the 2nd biggest military force within South Korea and owning 20% of the entire South Korean economy.

@@thesuperintendent4290 ~50 more years and Samsung will release the SoulKiler and South Korea law will begin to use it on criminal and child rapists :))

fractured but whole

Even then he doesn't actually continue living. His original consciousness dies but then an engram continues on in his place even if in Yorinobu's body.

not really, the engram doesn't actually entail the entire soul of a person, just their personality think of it like a really complicated ai version of a person, they think, act, and remember things the person who used to be alive but it doesn't have the capability of looking past itself in its moment since it only copies the presented personality and not its potential, Johnny doesn't exactly change over time, he is always sentimental, always comparing past with your present actions never worrying about the future, he doesn't even get mad or try anything to completely kill you(your consciousness) off in order to survive, he just accepts it almost as if he doesn't have a will of his own despite being an exact copy of Johnny, literally no drive or purpose other than replicate the past and his once self no change whatsoever even when presented with the prospect of change he just dismisses it, same case with Saburo's engram, only difference is Saburo has always been ambitious he is almost machine like in personality always thinking about progress no matter the sacrifice which wouldn't make it hard for them to replicate an exact ai copy of his soul since he doesn't have that much remorse even towards his own son since the ai personality probably assumed that the original copy didn't so he(the engram) wasn't even against the idea of inserting his soul(personality) into his own son, meanwhile Saburo when he was alive despite knowing what his son did and being disappointed still had the sympathy and care for his own son and only called him a fool which obviously ended up in his death something probably took lightly since he just backed his own son into a corner to scold him, foolish action leads to reckless behavior, thus when the personality clone of Saburo is presented with the evidence of his murder his first action is obviously the remorseless kind which is to oust his son and the board of directors meaning the clone only inherited the key ambition, and again only the actions and memories, not even a hint of empathy from the original Saburo who still cared of his own son that he had the gall to confront him directly with no protection despite being warned by both his daughter and Anderson the Saburo we saw had empathy but the clone we got lacked any and only inherited the ambition and personality, if he saw Hanako as a threat as well in the coming future as he the personality preside in Yorinobu he probably won't hesitate to eliminate Hanako or Michiko if it means achieving his goals, Hanako essentially just brought an AI copy of the worst parts of their father to existence and placed it in his own brother as punishment not knowing how bad it could be in the long run. Overall the relic project is a failure, it would take a couple more versions for it to be actually viable since it isn't able to completely transfer the soul only the consciousness without the conscience.

​@user-cv7kf1hb5z it's an evil mega Corp what are you talking about???

​@@traphimawari7760thing is Johnnys psyche was brought back to EXACTLY the world he tried to prevent. Granted that not in a subtle way but still. Also one of the first things he does while in your body is actively trying to kill you by first, trying to yank the chip out of your skull, and 2, by taking control and trying to smash your head into a rei forced glass. Thing is, he realises that it would mean end to BOTH of You and he aint exactly a type that likes to loose or give up. He tags along because he has a potential win in a long run.

⁠@@jadenthomas5261I’m pretty sure it does restore you and resurrects you because if not I don’t see why saburo would care but let’s say it’s his copy, either way having saburos conciousness for years to come isn’t exactly good as he’s a Tyrant

I really like how the tarot cards warn about this.. When u first meet at the dinner, u see the card for order and tradition

in the Tower Ending Yorinobu withdraws and Militech takes over Night City. Granted I believe the ending takes place in 2079 but yeah, Militech is definitely ready to step up.

Wut

​@@grilledleeks6514 cringe nay nay nationalist has a whacked naming scheme.

I mean the East India Company was like Arasaka, it had its own military separate from the British Empire.

@@junkers1337why did east India company just let the British take over the company though? Like did the east India company just hand it over to the British after the whole Indian rebellion in 1850s or 1860s, or were they just too weak from stretching themselves too thin? Or did they fight back a little against the British government.

Immortality blows. He looks like he’s about to disintegrate in-game and his son strangled him in like 10 seconds.

Even the version saburo used still kills him. His engram is only a copy. Which is even scarier, whatever humanity the real saburo had left will be totally absent in his engram

I imagine, for us to be immortal while staying human, we need a second set of brain.

​​​@@KaitouKaiju I mean, if the Engram rewires the neurochemistry to the point that the Engrams personality is now the hosts personality, I think it's safe to assume that they're only AI until they get their human body. But yeah, they're still not the actual person, just a mind clone basically.

​@@KaitouKaijuto be fair Saburo didnt have alot of humanity left so i think Him being that way as a engram is just a product of Saburo himself i mean johnnys engram has no problem expressing alot of emotions from rage to guilt and empathy if soul killer left you devoid of humanity Johnny would have been more like he was right when he wakes up aka "stick some iron in your mouth and pull the trigger!" But he was able to empathize with V and think rationally after the intitial shock

Jin Sakai (Ghost of Tsushima

Maybe YOU are secretly working for Arasaka.

@@CT_Phipps HES AN AGENT!

Me leaving in car empire: CAR ALARM

How is he a shogun?

@@grilledleeks6514 shogun is like a military dictator. Saburo has pretty much controlled large part of Japan’s economy/military/tech and so on. The Japanese government is like the Tenno, being recognized but couldn’t not compete against Saburo.

@@grilledleeks6514 I mean, he is like a Shogun in Japan. The region outside Japan? He might has some huge influence, but that’s it.

Technically, that was the Arasaka Tower Incident about, in the lore, it was Morgan Blackhand who led the team, and he was a Militech Company Man, the nukes were also from Militech, it's fascinating to see Johnny as an unreliable narrator because he genuinely believes every word of what he tells you

Better Militech than Arasaka

@@feastguy101 after finishing the dlc, i cant say i agree with you friend. fuckin corps, theyre all the same

@@deepfriedicecream576 well yeah, but at least with Militech, it’s pretty obvious what you’re getting, they’re not sneaky about being monstrous assholes, unlike Arasaka.

@@feastguy101 Phantom Liberty might put that perspective to the test :P

Like Enrico Pucci said "the Joestars, were my allies all along!"

By that I mean replace Pucci with V and the Joestars with Yorinobu.

Bro, I be drooling about having/inheriting such fortune every night.

Yeah being one of the richest and most powerful people alive must suck

To be fair, his only reason for living is to become his father’s body after death

​@@grilledleeks6514it does which is why yorinobu betrayed the company

gonna be honest that's not the message you should be taking 💀

@@emptythreatcovers5085 some of the most inspirational people ever were not "good" people. look at any famous figure thought of as a great person, they did things wrong too. mlk cheated on his wife, jfk, no man is perfect or really good. every man has duality

@@emptythreatcovers5085cope

@@bxddalmao the fbi lied on mlk smh

Not inadvertently they literally funded the operation 😅

And gave the nuke

The genre is called RTS - real time strategy. C&C Red Alert 3 will be the one of the closest things, regarding tech level and ambience, with a bit o sillyness tossed together. Its also worthy checking out the old timey turn based/tactical rpgs; I can only think of the shadowrun games, but im sure there’s more.

Nodtalgia about what? Ww2?😂 rest of this game is future😅

That’s sad to hear but glad enjoyed this dude!

Love your name!

​@@WiseFishnext you should make a video about Biotechnica.

They got push out of night city, their prize, alongside losing plenty of money and public trust All to theyl advantage of their rivals....oh and night city probably got NUSA, bringing myser one step closer to unite america again

There is a channel delving into armored core lore before ACVI release called Armored Core Lore.

The Arisaka backed gang the tiger claws is based off of that

It's not just bikes.

@@KaitouKaiju never said it was. I said foucsing. I’ve soon those wild kids modify semi trucks with the same style. Anything with an engine. But motorcycles are generally considered where it started.

There's no logical way V could take over a corporation of that size. It's good they didn't take the Skyrim approach and just make you head of a major faction just for doing some quests

@@nxxynx5039 🤔 never played Skyrim ,but i do believe v should at least have a option to do that ,😂its a fantasy ,u cam literally be a cyber psycho without actually being one😂 at the end of the game v is more mechine than man at that point if u upgraded him to the max cuz i made a netrunner and mixed with an enforcer build literally op asf and i was on the hardest difficulty

It wouldn't fit the themes of the cyberpunk genre, which is predicated on trying to break the status quo and destroying the system. Becoming part of it will always lead to a lose state, since the character loses any claim to heroism (or being an anti-hero).

@@KaiserAfini y wouldnt it fit the theme, like i admit that cyberpunk has light rpg elements but it shouldve been better then wat came out back in 2020 but u literally can do anything as long as it a lines with the lore of cyberpunk i truly felt 2077 was a pond compared to the vast Ocean of actual lore i just feel like the game came out in a rush and it didnt capture everything in the lore 🤔 thats wat i mean

@@thedude4871 I meant that its based on the cyberpunk story genre, the genre that started with Neuromancer. That particular style of writing (including script writing) has the protagonists trying to break the system as one of its core pillars, becoming part of the system is considered a fail state.

A Takemura DLC would be pretty cool Ngl

Take your meds

Gawddam these roleplayers…

@@Ripper030 It's a role-playing game and you're in a lore video lmao

Won't know until project Orion is out

My biggest pet peeve, like in real life we see how investors run away with the slightest hint of disturbance in the company.

Too big to fall....literaly in this case
