The ring a ding ding by Kiwi gave me a Fallout New Vegas flashback. Then I remembered Benny's line to the courier. "Truth is... the game was rigged from the start.” Then I got sad.
2:46 Hypersexualization and casual nudity have always been staples of the cyberpunk genre, but there are two things notable with it. 1 - Authors have always made the effort to give at least some justification behind the fanservice. For example in Ghost In the Shell, Major Kusanagi has a skin tight thermo-optical device that turns her quasi invisible, but would look silly if she kept very visible clothes over it. Another example in CP:Edgerunners is how netrunners go skinny dipping in ice water baths when they do a deep dive or advanced hacking. In this case, their whole body and cyber augmentations turn into a turbo overclocked computer and generates a lot of heat that would fry their brain if they didn't have strong cooling. While corpo-backed netrunners have access to advanced high-tech cooling suits, the average street scums like Lucy and Kiwi have to settle for more rudimentary ice baths. 2 - Characters often tend to be really casual and nonchalent over nudity, with very little shame or modesty. After all, if Kiwi requires an ice bath to do advanced hacking, there's nothing preventing her from putting on some underwears once she's out of the bath, right ? It would be easy to chuck this to the overabundance of sexualization in the setting making basic nudity pretty dull and unremarkable, but there's more to it that ties to one of the core themes of the genre : cybernetics and transhumanism. Imagine you lose a leg in a tragic accident and get a prosthetic leg installed. While the latter functionally serves the same purpose on the same location of your body and roughly has the same shape as the former, you won't consider it part of your intimate body/self. Then get the other leg and a hand replaced in another tragic incident, then you get cancer (yeah you're very unlucky) and lose your hair in the subsequent chemotherapy, that you decide to replace with a wig, et caetera, et caetera ... All those things help keep a semblance of social normalcy and functionality for your body, but you won't bat an eye if one gets damaged and needs to be replaced. They are objects, they are not your self, and thus don't carry the same level of intimate attachment as your natural body, nor the same need to protect its intimacy from public view. Casual nudity in cyberpunk settings is just the same logic pushed to the full body. Also, if you paid extras for the cosmetic options of having blue tiddies and a full body spider web tatoo, might as well flaunt them (same with Rebecca's womb tatoo and "DICK" thigh tatoo)
I still remember the ingame posters about trans and genitals, the alley solely dedicated to showing and advertising strippers/hookers, nudity commercials in-game TV,... A subtle but also "right in your face" way to tell you how corrupted and far gone the morality in Night City, where pornography, drugs, guns are treated casually like netflix, kool aid, toys.
@@huyle-ob8rg I was replaying the game and knew ALLLLL about that, yet as I road up an elevator looked and two huge billboards was an adverting somthing with a naked woman in the middle of sex. The concept of "sex sells" is hyper exaggerated to that point in Cyberpunk, so yeah you are both right on the sexulisation
Yup, a large part of cyberpunk theming is viewing your body as a thing instead of as a part of you. Speaking of that stuff, I kinda fall into the same camp, I don't really see my body as me, but rather as just something that I'm in, which really makes me connect with the cyberpunk genre as a whole.
i just re-binged the whole thing in EN dub this morning while editing T_T gonna be playing "just wanna stay at your house" on loop again for the next week
It's interesting that you mention American Psycho. There's a lot of memes & vids of peeps using scenes with Patrick Bateman to express thier feelings after the end of this series. Using title cards like "Me playing Cyberpunk 2077 after watching Cyberpunk Edgerunners". Look forward to the next vid. Episode 6 is a masterpiece & one of my favorite episodes of the series. Thanks for the reaction
I wonder. The hallucinations where he's seeing weapons coming out of himself and others, I wonder if that's a reference to the song that played in the old old teaser for cyberpunk 2077. One of the lyrics are "underneath my skin there is a violence. It's got a gun in its hand."
One thing this show doesn't really explain well is that there's this entire alternative to going cyborg. Which is basically using futuristic super steroids, gene therapy, and going "all bio". Dorio very likely is one of those, so that's why she wasn't as affected by the EMP. That side too has its own version of "cyberpsychosis" which is basically super roid rage.
Long time ago post but fun fact is that, until she takes on hands like her brothers, Becca was one of those. Her body is gene coded to make her unassuming and all the coloration is "natural" instead of being chromed out. Some minor chrome that's standard but otherwise
@@MidWitPride Maine and David were within two feet of him. The EMP was specifically for them. I’m saying the reason Kiwi got fucked up from so far away was because she’s a netrunner
Maybe it's affected by having played the game, but I kinda like how obvious the foreshadowing is in the story. It's true to the experience the characters are having. Night City forces you to never get a happy ending, and that's the tragedy of it all. Everyone knows it, but they either ignore it, try to do something amazing with their life, or leave.
@@K44Viper But this is an animation made by the Japanese Trigger after all, I listened to English and Japanese, and found that the Japanese original sound is better and has more emotion.
naw they have Zach Aguilar and actually have the right slang in English. Normally I watch animes in their original language and not the dub but this dub is incredible.
@@Aliciaxlife But this is an animation made by the Japanese Trigger after all, I listened to English and Japanese, and found that the Japanese original sound is better and has more emotion.
@@emoassvampirekid9780 Hard disagree, this is literally set in a future US, it would be like watching an anime set in japan with a russian dub and english subtitles when you don't speak russian, I'm sure the russian dub is great and all but it just doesn't fit culturally and doesn't convey the same emotion. In episode 1, that "you're breaking my heart" from Gloria Martinez, in her Spanish accent, just hit different and had me tearing up. I don't know Zach's heritage but Aguilar is definitely of Spanish origin, just like Martinez is in the show, and some of his lines destroy me, honestly fantastic casting.

I assumed it only affected the netrunners so *because* they’re netrunners, despite distance
@@riastradh It affected Maine and David as well, who are not netrunners. Dorio was the only one seemingly unaffected in that parking lot.
@@MidWitPride Maine and David were within two feet of him. The EMP was specifically for them. I’m saying the reason Kiwi got fucked up from so far away was because she’s a netrunner
@@MidWitPride also Dorio can’t be full bio because at bare minimum her legs are completely chrome
I have the same exact "mama" reaction to those mommy characters in all media so I feel you about Dorio.
You got that so quick with the brain dance. I realised I it when he got the mantis blades out of nowhere.

Been living for these reactions
Yo, no wonder Lucy fell in love. I bet David goes like a fucking rabbit 😏😏😏🤣
AYOOOO BUT ALSO YOU RIGHT
@@Aliciaxlife when he hits that sandevistan 🤯🤯🤯🤯
David’s eyes flare up and suddenly your whole lower half feels a whole lot really fast, then nothing at all till morning
0:01 Why the FUCK did this scene make me laugh so much?
JK is probably my favourite side character from the show (that's not part of the crew), he's so damn entertaining
9:15 "You're not that guy pal, trust me you're not that guy"
We need time...10 ep...cry like a child:D BRING IT ON!
a cool character indeed, also dead in the same episode he appeared xD
"To get his didgery-doodads..."
Didgery-done?
Just 30 likes more to hit the 250, come on guys.
I am not proud of how long it took me to realize JK staring at him wasn’t real and was actually the first sign of Cyberpsychosis setting in
Dorio = STRONG MAMA
More pls
it's like watching the squid game in English !!!
if you could speak polish, and watch polish dub (CDPR's country), you would not say that lmao
@@K44Viper But this is an animation made by the Japanese Trigger after all, I listened to English and Japanese, and found that the Japanese original sound is better and has more emotion.
@@K44Viper bro CDPR was about to delete Rebecca, they don't know shit about anime bro.
Considering your love for Dorio, the next episode is gonna make you real sad.
can you delete this comment? Noone likes spoilers
why are you like this?
Saying "if you like X you'll like ep X" is not creative hidden spoiler even if she finished before she got to see it
...Not to be "that guy" but you kinda take the fun out of reactions for everyone watching when you know all the things that are going to happen....
Trust me, the original Japanese dub is much better and emotional.
naw they have Zach Aguilar and actually have the right slang in English. Normally I watch animes in their original language and not the dub but this dub is incredible.
Nah and i watched it in japanese lmao
