Like a father, a father that David did not have

@@TipoIrritable Should’ve told David not to get so chromed out like he was.

Feels sorta similar to the askeladd and thorfinn scene, in some ways

@@dogestranding5047 David wouldn’t have got chromed out if Maine was there

@@dogestranding5047 Yea but David needs the chrome or else nobody can be gang leader

This is perfect... hearbreaking too..

Thats death metal for you,it's Either ultra violent,or rage filled regret.

same here, i loved the song as soon it started playing, if youre wondering whats the song is called, its called Zurawie by Ugory

The literal end of the road

Your comment made me rewatch it slowly, and I noticed that David was in that landscape running off the track away from Maine standing at the end of it.

It's not about crossing the finish line - it's the end of the road, literally. There's nothing in front of him. He reached the end. Sure, he could take a few steps forward, fight a bit longer, but it wouldn't change anything. The road is still at it's end. It's over.

And you can see how in 2:50 David crosses that line and goes further than Maine could ever go.

Shut up

Well this anime was CDP Red last resort to revive Cyberpunk, 1.6 bring only 30 k players Peak 2 weeks after anime 130 k

@@LesioJunior1 it worked did it not? Also it's an amazing animation, studio TRIGGER did a fantastic job per usual. I really enjoyed the story but some might not.

Thats Imaishi’s magic. Hes a fucking alchemist turning shit into gold

Amongst, no. It was the best episode

@@LesioJunior1 100k? it was over a million xD

Yes but David manages to accomplish what Maine could not in the end. While Maines ambition got Doiro killed David was still able to save Lucy in the end before his end.

Chroming himself didn’t made him a cyberpsycho, was his mental state

He saved lucy but not our Loli Queen

Maine taught David to drive a car (even let him crash his car), gave him his first gun, and set him up with Lucy. One may argue about what kind of influence he was, but Maine wasn't just like a father - he was David's father.

@@archvermin Sad that David died so soon after Maine and his mom. They sacrificed so he could live, but he died not long after they did.

It seems the Sandevistan activates automatically when it senses an impending doom and mortal danger, it activated and made David see his mentor one last time, since it was too late, the explosion was already happening There was nothing he could do at that moment, only to scream in pain and sadness For once again, he lost his family

Honestly it looked kinda goofy. The animation looked really weird in that part

@@Chadius_Thundercock ok nigga

@@Chadius_Thundercock i wouldnt say weird, i´d say saturated, the same way David feels

@@Chadius_Thundercock it's the extreme amount of emotional load he's feeling. When people are ecstatic , furious or seething , they don't look pretty

damn - I missed this the first time around. such a good scene despite how short it was.

david still has miles left to go, but if you skip forward just a couple frames you can also just barely see that david's road also comes to an end, foreshadowing his death.

No me había dado cuenta de ese detalle

He could not run any further, cross the line. Yet David is already in the distance. At the time I thought this ment David would not suffer the same fate.

There is another music video where they show his old teammember fyi, the end song music vid

@@MrBurrrG what's the title of the song?

@@simpnoises436 let you down

@@simpnoises436 you mean that the one they play after the credits with lucy walking the streets of Night city alone and crying?

@@kristopherhayes486 No not that at all. Maine's group had another netrunner besides Lucy before she joined, definitely worth the watch as its like a couple minute intro

I laughed so hard at that, before the shock set in and the soundtrack started to get in my brain. Just the absurdity of it. The smile, the neck snap, it was all great.😂

Nah I love that line and the grin when he said it😅

Lmao

It's a pretty simple story you know? Don't get me wrong, I liked it a lot but I feel that much more potential was lost. They had everything to truly be one of the best animated series that have ever existed, but everything took place very quickly in a single season.

I'm with this guy (@@diegov3566 ) on this...

@@diegov3566 simple story doesn't mean it's bad. You see so many shows these days with what appears to be a great and unique story only to completely fail the execution. This isn't just another simple story, it's a simple story that's executed perfectly. Managing to completely incapacitate the audience's feelings. Personally I'd rather have a simple yet great story. Than something that's unique but without any substance.

@@diegov3566 simple stories are often the best, look at the two best tv shows out there: Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. They are very simple stories that are elevated by the writing, characters and acting. It’s the same for this.

Aren’t they part borgs too?

@@KaijuMobsta They are very close to being cyberpsycho themselves (and some of them literally are former cyberpsychos)

@@lennartj.8072 Yeah lol like the maxtac bitch from the clothing store incident from the game.

@@lennartj.8072 you can get out of cyberpsychosis?

What's the BD? Did he get the previous owner's memories?

Same…I felt hopeless after watched his death…

“This stuff my fault?”😢 Epic and sad

One of the best episodes in anime history tbh. 10/10 episode

Same, it's the peak of the series imo

@@octopus8659 that statement was both terrifying to to the soldiers coming in. And depressing to the audience. Dude is wearing the blood of his lover. His mission has failed. And it's like he single handedly ruined everything. So when he says is this my fault?. It's like self destruction. He resigns himself to crash out. Cause he can't face what he's done. Or what he is becoming.

Nah, he's still psycho. It's just cyberpsychosis doesn't just turn you into a rage monster. Other forms of cyberpsychosis consist of losing emotional responsiveness and becoming a robot, compulsive desire to steal things, etc. In Maine's case, his psychosis involved delusions/hallucinations, and spouts of uncontrollable rage. In this scene, Maine calms down around David because part of his brain still registers and remembers David as a friend.

@@LightAndDarkMdness02 i think lucy did the same with David

@@giraf9961 David had a very similar form of Psychosis, Lucy was the only one that David really remembered whenever he went over the edge

@@LightAndDarkMdness02 David seems to develop a similar case, by the end he could only stay lucid when near Lucy and even then we aren't sure to what extent. He does appear to become more cognisant after Adam Smasher rips off his cybernetics.

@@LightAndDarkMdness02 Pretty much sure that Regina proved that Cyberpsychosis can be cured on 77 in her quests.

Remember, Maine also promised David his left arm if he ever flatlines.

@@Evangelion543 yes

Shut up man

i always thought it was just him taking the arm like he said he would do if maine flatlined. not that he was trying to rescue him

@@keorei Could be both as well...Once he saw Maine essentially get blasted into kibble he just kept running, note how when the camera pans from Young!Maine across the desert, we see David Stumbling? That's likely Maine's weight suddenly becoming no longer a factor and David maintaining pace.

I think him getting the Sandevistan stolen from him was a good think if he had it he would've went insane faster

@@wrappingflea9545 I was about to say the exact same thing

Hell, the medicine being taken in more doses than he SHOULD have been doing is basically the moment you realize 'Oh shit he is going to either lose it or fucking OD!'

Holy cow, a Gunz the duel callout. I havent played that game in.....I mean literally 15 or something years now? Brr. Wild.

the board game and the videogame also tells that the people that survives are the real winners and the ones who left the city also are the real winners, everyone else gonna get the city as their graveyard, and the city does not gonna stop putting people in a coffin.

I think it's also partly that despite Maine possibly knowing he's gone completely psycho, David still stands by him. Still has hope, still refuses to give up. In that moment of David saying he would 'stay' and help, Main may have realized that because of him, in this one moment, David stopped running because of him.

fuck dude,you make me cry again.

😢

Man shut up

@@Coldaardvark2 wow u rite

I'm pretty sure this is the composer from Silent Hill.

@@DanielZeal this specific track is from the game Zurawie - Ugory

Ugory is a real band, btw. They’ve worked with CDP Red before on Witcher, or at the very least have a song named such.

Nah that was the moment we realized that we didn’t lose him

​@@aparou647 he stays in our hearts

And the exact moment I teared up :')

I'd argue that the single tear in the car driving away contains even more emotion, to the point where he can't even express it, no one would be able to, yet a single tear manages to sneak by

The thing is, Maine absolutely could have gotten better. He could have chromed down and gotten actual therapy, both with drugs and psychological. Its something we know happens because Max-Tac exists, and is staffed with previous cyberpsychos that were actually captured, but the system would rather treat cyberpsychosis as a end point of a disease that cannot be recovered from, than to address the idea that the cyberware is just exacerbating peoples existing traumas and damages until they "go psycho". easier to just write them off as a lost cause and have max-tac clean them up than to actually solve the underlying issues that cause people to go psycho. Its so prevalent a reaction that the normal inhabitants of the city assume that cyberpsycosis is as good as a death sentence, and a violent one at that.

@@UrzaWeatherlight The problem is, even if he chromed down and gotten therapy... could he actually have lived with himself? He'd still have killed someone he loved, as well as multiple inncoent people whose only crime was doing their job as members of Trauma Team. And chroming down and getting therapy is a lengthy process. Who is to say that his cyberpsychosis might not kick into high gear again before he could get the help he needs? He literally almost killed David the moment he entered the room, and that was *after* entering lucidity. And there's the dollar value involved: Even assuming that he could maintain control and lucidity long enough to get the help he needed... who was gonna pay for it? The removal of the cyberware, the aftercare needed to recover from it, and the therapy needed to get him back to sanity? All of that costs money, money that the crew likely could never get, and Maine would never ask his crew to work themselves near to death trying to get it. And there is one of those "reformed" Max-Tac officers you can speak with in 2077. They're still basically cyberpsychos, with the one you speak with making it clear that she deeply loves killing people with her mantis blades, to the point that she won't switch them out with a newer model, despite having a flaw that was literally responsible for their cyberpsychosis in the first place.

@@FirstLast-cg2nk that's not even getting to the point of 'If you're not some Corpo big wig, you will never be able to afford even a piss poor therapist that still has a LEGIT accredation, let alone anyone all that skilled at therapy' thing...Sure Chroming down is expensive but DOABLE (price isn't even that steep compared to Therapy) Also Maine only killed Dorio in being in the situation he was in to begin with. If he had his right mind, she wouldn't have caught that bullet from NCPD to the head...

@@FirstLast-cg2nk dorio was killed by trauma team I believe🤔

@@pachasnft9954 Its not about if he pulled the trigger that actually kiled Dorio. More about that because he went Psycho and lose his sanity Dorio tried to pull him back and that what got her killed, In short not actually HIS fault but if he wouldn't have hallucinations Dorio would not need to pull him back and instead she could focus on actually being in the gunfire

There are plenty of reasons for that. If Lucy hadn't fucked up on purpose, David could have lived well enough, but either night city would get him, or arasaka would. If david had never met lucy, he would have just ran out of eddies, and found himself just another choom out on the streets, with nothing to his name, till arasaka or miltech came for his resistance to cibernetics. If he hadn't chromed up he would have probably died in one of his gigs, or he wouldn't have gotten said gigs in the first place. If he just sold the Sandy, then he would have straight up lost everything. Make no mistake. There are plenty of reasons for why david died. But in the end they don't matter. Its night city. There are no happy endings in night city. There was never a chance in hell this story was gonna have a semblance of a happy ending. You either die a choom that no one will remember, or you die in a blaze of glory so bright your name will never fade away.

@@Loispealz34 I don't think it would be fair to put the blame on Lucy, yeah I'm sure if she had joined back into the crew she could've convinced him to ease on the chrome, but she had her reason as to protect David from Arasaka lowkey, sure she could've told him that he was being sought after but that probably would've just worked up David into wanting to fight Arasaka head on

@@Loispealz34 how did lucy fuck up?

@@misaamane9914 lucy purposely killed tanaka and blew up the jammer keeping ncpd and trauma team from honing in on tanaka's signal. She did this to protect David, who was a target for arasaka experimentation. This ended up killing both Maine and Dorio.

Id say its less of this episode and more of how nightcity is in general. Everyone unless your some corporate high end official everyone faces the same fate at some point.

You should watch Monster

The basic story and characters were created by the Polish side, it was a team effort and not just studio Trigger. I'm not taking away anything from Trigger but it's unfair to only mention them when there was the other team that contributed a lot to it.

@@FolstrimHori monster sucks lmao

Same. I love how popular its become. Even my parents are interested in watching anime with me now lol

Cómo me enseñó un hombre "camino antes que destino", y finalmente lo compredi

Una cosas que odio de esta serie, es no saber más de Maine, le agarre mucho cariño rápidamente csm

@@11lopezdanielfull ya pasó esa parte paso igual que en el juego y causa la misma sensación

Es buena pero asi para decir que es una obra maestra pues no.

@@hanssanjuanino3169 pues cada quien puede decir lo que quiera, en mi caso no la primera vez que veo una serie cyberpunk, y todas me han encantado demasiado, lo unico que me jode es que literalmente acabo como las otras que ví y más o menos tuvieron la misma trayectoria. Pero lo que más adoro son las referencias al juego es decir sabes todos las personas que se volvieron leyendas en el juego( básicamente consiste en hacer algo grande y morir, porque no existen leyendas vivientes), tiene su propia bebida y que por lo visto el David Martínez es una, es algo que llena al mundo de cyberpunk 2077. Yo no creo que para que algo sea una obra mestra tiene que ser perfecto,algunos pueden ver la belleza en las cosas imperfectas. La razón principal de que sea para mí es por una frase que he escuchado de alguien desde hace mucho tiempo "camino antes que destino". Suelo pensar el final de algo no tiene sentido por algunas cosas que hizo mal, como por ejemplo no contar las historias de Maine (que me parece bastante interesante), y otra cosa que no entendía por David estaba tan afanado con cumplir el sueño de su madre, y Maine (no se cual era el sueño de Maine, porque no me pareció que lo explicarán ),pero pensadolo me di cuenta no es cuestión de que no sea tu sueño simplemente las personas son complejas. Y bueno también con las pocas series cyberpunk , acabaron de la misma manera y pues me jode bastante, pero cuando alguien da su vida para darle un futuro a alguien me parece la cosa más extraña pero pero supongo qué el camino que recorriste es lo que te llevo ahí.

yeah really good litle touch that makes this few moments special

This might be my two Favorite seconds of this show

That's what i was Thinking of, This scene was the most memorable to me about the episode

Lmao

And David carries the torch. "Just keep on running". Both the people most important to him at this point have died in a blaze of glory. The last thing Maine sees is David running past him in that psychosis driven haze, he knows David will make it further than he could, and Lucy will ultimately carry David's torch/dream after he's run as far as he could.

Same, I thought it was gonna be generic and not good at all, boy was I wrong..

Bro, never expect trash from studio trigger, they never dissapoint.

Just wish the game was good too

@@Brain-Wormed except for kiznaiver but we won’t talk about that

@@Pieruh wtf bro kiznaiver very good anime

What I mean by him not seeking out his dreams. When Tanaka comes to, and is telling him to do the right thing, he asks David what he wants and David, shocked and almost in awe by the question goes.. "what... I want?" As if he had never really sat down and thought about his dreams or what he really wanted. His dream of making sure Lucy followed her dreams was a last minute resort when he knew his dreams were far beyond reach at that point.

esa musica de fondo literal se siente como "el final"

The different shades of sand may symbolize a better life in general. Less of a wasteland with each lighter shade. When Maine looks at David’s back you can see a little bit of grass has grown where David now stands. I think they were both running for a better life. Maine knew he couldn’t reach that goal, but told David to keep running. In the end, when he watched David run like he never could, I think Maine felt awe and respect rather than jealousy.

maine said that this was the end of the line for him drawing back on this vision of him stopped at the end of the road, maine cant go on any longer considering the drug induced psychosis, david is shown running as a way to show that david is continuing maines legacy and dream

He's standing on a freeway. The freeway cuts off into the desert sand. It's literally and metaphorically the end of the line for him. He can't go any further than that.

It was the end of his line. He could not run any further.

please invest in punctuation

Yeah and the maxtac shot just after

Looked more like loneliness and regret

@lol nose yeah, you can see the faint outline in the background to the right of David and to the left of Maine

But then you wouldn’t have gotten see me… 😢
