"Never trust anyone in NC (Night City)". She say it earlier in the episode during the call... Little fun fact : Chroming (Putting cyberwhare inside you) as the same effect as dr*gs on your brain, you always want more, even in real life.

There's an interesting in-game text from Cyberpunk 2077 on the nature of Cyberpsychosis, which is pretty intersting. Someone else might already posted this before (beware that this is just one in-game character's interpretation of the matter, and it might not be the whole truth. It's interesting nontheless): I've had enough of the senseless shootings that claim hundreds of innocents every day. I'm sick of the satire on empty, deadend implant-restriction dialogue. I'm tired of ignoring the cyberpsychosis problem. In American society today, there are still a lot of common myths and misconceptions about the so-called technology-related personality disorders. People think they can become "infected" in sketchy ripperdoc clinics. Scientists allegedly disagree about the causes of the disease, or even about whether it exists at all. Maybe their tune would change if a cyberpsycho turned their lab into a slaughterhouse. But even then, I doubt it. They're not getting fat paychecks from the cyberware lobby just to openly declare to the public all the nasty possible side effects that come packaged with their products. I've conducted my own research on cyberpsychosis. With supreme confidence, I can confirm this illness is, indeed, a by-product of the modern lifestyle and the obsessive emphasis placed on incorporating modern tech into our lives. Although cybernetic implants can directly affect our brain chemistry, they still serve only as a catalyst for the onset of the disease. Our world is subject to extensive dehumanization. We surround ourselves with increasingly more automated machines and artificial intelligences. Our loved ones replace their nature-given eyes, lips and faces with masks of metal. Some of us begin to lose sight of what is human; we slip into feelings of total alienation and deep-rooted panic. We lose the ability to distinguish between what is real and what is "only" artificial, digital, synthetic... Such people begin to isolate themselves, lose their empathy for others, and undergo dramatic mood swings that exhibit sadistic tendencies. The most frightening component to all of this, however, is that most will never be diagnosed. Not all cyberpsychos are known war veterans or former mercenaries equipped with Sandevistan reflex tech. Not all will go out in a blaze of gunfire with MaxTac. Many cyberpsychos in our world possess only a single implant; a knee, a liver. They are unseen, unnoticed. They lock themselves up and shut out their friends, colleagues, and loved ones. The world outside of the Net and their delusions has disappeared from conscious thought. They are sick and alone - and no[sic] is doing a thing about it. There is no eloquent summary to be made here. Let the value of this manifesto be measured by the fact that I was expelled from the Zetatech cybernetics research team for having written it.

Fun fact: if you already didn't know, David's voice actor also voices Tanjiro in the DS dub.

So the voice of the man in the Militech car is the same VA as Julio (long live that sweet gonk) that might be why he sounded familiar. It was recently pointed out to me and it was like a true "ah-ha" moment. I mean since Edgerunners came out I have been trying to figure out who it was.

When the two counterintel agents look at the fixers' pictures, apart from Faraday, the others are fixers you'll meet in game: El Padre, Wakako, etc.

I'm not sure the Doc meant BD recording. My interpretation is that he meant that David's legend will inspire the next kid who wants to make it big and thus repeat the cycle.

NoSoupRice

Imagine if corpo V was in this episode as counterintel lol

Rostislav

7:00 God, your theories are escalating quickly 💀

Tanmay

lol good guesses tho but I think the VA just sound similar

S

I find it funny that no one remembers that Kiwi was almost killed by Maine when he went psycho and now seeing David going the same way

Rostislav

Yes, that's why I was surprised that in a few seconds, because of the similarity of the VA's voice, they came to the point of implanting sperm into women 💀

Astor Lefflinker

@NoSoupRice I wish they would have done that. Seeing Corpo V would have been nova af. But I guess that would create problems as that would make Corpo V the canon V.

Astor Lefflinker

That was a pretty good take though since as Kurosaki said, the sandevistan that David has installed has a recorder. So what Doc said could be interpreted, and I agree more with what you said, but it can also be interpreted literally as David's life could be the next BD for the next "dreamer"

Astor Lefflinker

Yes, in this world, the megacorps are basically as powerful as governments so it makes sense that they have their own FBI or CIA. If you play the game and choose the Corpo lifepath, you'll start out as a pretty high ranking officer in Arasaka's Counter Intel division. One of the most prominent turning point events in the lore is the 4th Corporate War which was fought between Arasaka and Militech. Well, it started out with two different corporations, but they hired Arasaka and Militech as their 'security forces' and then it devolved between a full blown fight between Arasaka and Militech. Also yes, the one thing about being addicted to something is that it's not just hard to stop. It's weird because you know that it's hard to stop doing what you're addicted to, but you also feel like when you really have to, you can still stop and get better. It's like not realizing that you're passing the point of no return because of the false feeling of safety that you can still just simply stop once it's really needed. On a lighter note: Falco is voiced by Matthew Mercer. You guys are into DnD so you might be familiar with him. He also voiced Leorio in the english dub of HxH. I heard it and it's actually really good.

Barry

@Astor Absolutely true, its up for debate. I just felt like it was channelling 2077 in that moment.

AttackRunRepeat

I think Regina was there too in the bottom left.

Chels

I love your theories ☺️ I'm still convinced that cyberpsycho is an allegory for PTSD and "chroming" is self-medicating/substance abuse. It fits too perfectly. Also, the Kiwi thing took me by surprise too until I remembered earlier she said "you can't trust anyone but yourself" and then it clicked into place. But still, I didn't think she'd turn on Lucy of all people. Kinda sad turn of events

The Anime Dude

Can’t believe David thought he was like me: build different.

Arian Abdolahy

Hah, that's funny, cause in the german dub it's exactly the same, lol.
