One thing people often overlook is the difference between empathy and compassion. Empathy is just the involuntary mirroring of another person’s emotions; compassion is actual kindness. People with high empathy can be cold or cruel, but a person with low empathy can learn how to care for others out of a genuine desire to be kind.

I mean, 47 does deal with people on a daily basis, and understands them in and out, so perhaps theres some small bit of empathy left up on his bald head. or hes just really good at messing with people.
47 is the complete sociopath. He understands other people have emotions. He has studied other people. He can tick all the boxes and come out with advice based on everything he has learned. He is a perfect observer, but he is just an observer. He isn't aware of any of his own feelings. He can't empathize.
@@Chris_Sizemore He couldn't. After un-brainwashinization in 2, he might have the potential to develop a more normal state of mind. As-is though, he's *trying* to care. Sometimes. But he's not quite able.

@@killerhellhound I mean, the bald suspicious guy. Not 47. As a Bald preson is,well, look out of place, especially when there are too many of them looking kinda same....
This is why I was kinda mad IO retconned the idea of 47 having lost his emotions. He always had emotions, especially in the earlier games, we saw him learn to become human and have normal interactions with people and make friends along the way (father Vittorio, Mei Ling, etc.)
Is he still a clone in the story of the current games? I can't remember it ever being mentioned or referenced, unless I'm just not paying enough attention to the cutscenes in these 3
@@elmerofairo Yes, there are multiple allusions to it along the story. When confronting Ingram and Stuyvesant Lucas Grey says that “providence made him”. In the short mental sequence before untouchable Diana’s voice alludes to 47 “exactly the tool they bred you to be”
@@courier6960 I think I interpreted those references to be very weak allusions. Like they were changing his background. They kinda sound like they could easily refer to him having been a child or something rather than a clone. It seems like anyone who's entering the series with the most recent games wouldn't be able to piece together the clone storyline at all
@@elmerofairo They certainly are not changing 47’s story, that is for sure. I’m just mentioning some of the smaller ones, but IO doesn’t want to mess with the formula or 47s character much at this point. The game also makes several references to Ort-Meyer and the old games, IO has a lot of pride about the series past and I doubt they would wipe all of that away
@@courier6960 to me in the new series it felt more like Ort-Meyer instead of cloning he kidnapped and tortured children from a very young age to train them to be weapons. It's why Lucas and 47 didn't look like each other they just were abducted at much different times. Could be wrong tho but that felt like how they did it. Respecting the original story but grounding it just a little for the spy thriller setting they built for Hitman 2016
With all his “life experiences” 47 seems like a great philosopher. Most of his responses in the type of side convos are brief and to the point. One might think he was only half paying attention to them. However he seems to examine every word people say (probably comes with his trade) and then carefully crafts an expertly precise response that highlights the overthinking in this ladies case. And once you realize this he becomes rather trustworthy, caring, and friendly person to be around. It feels weird that an assassin is an inspirational character that I try take example of.
At this point, he's an assassin mainly because him trying to lead a normal life would likely result in those he cares about being threatened. Which is what kicked off one of the earlier Hitman games.
@@LordVader1094 i doubt someone who can assassinate presidents only knows how to kill. I bet he can make a very sharp entrepreneur and run companies with his observation and people skills.
A friend of mine who was in the Navy with me had a conversation while on deployment with a really nice guy during a port call in Spain. My friend spoke Spanish, and the guy he randomly spoke to asked him what it was like to be at sea, free of everything that you left behind on land. My friend told him that being at sea doesn't make you free from your loves, passions, and concerns; it separates you from them in a way that induces anxiety and makes you appreciate those important or troubling things that you cannot reach or effect. It makes you realize how much you take life for granted. The man took a gun out of his pocket, handed it to my friend, and said that he was going to reconsider what he was planning to do that evening. With that, he walked off, leaving my friend in stunned silence. My friend still has that gun, though he removed the firing pin. He wasn't sure whether the man planned to take his own life or do something even more terrible, but he felt that he should keep the gun as a reminder of the encounter, but in a state where it could never fill its originally intended purpose of hurting anyone. I do wish the random conversations in the Hitman series led to conclusions that you can see. Such as if the lady in this scene had her girlfriend show up while you are waiting.
The idea of keeping the gun without the firing ping is beautiful. Altough I'm curious, how could he keep the gun? An US sailor can take a gun from another country and take it with him on the ship?
@@alvaro701 You can because the US Navy does not allow foreign nations to inspect its warships. If you want the ship to make a port call in your city, you have to accept that as a condition. He didn't go making a big fuss about having the firearm.
I very like how at first, he's kinda cold, but once he hears her out a little more, he becomes kinder in his responses, realizing he is kind of in the same situation in a way.
47 has never been a terrible person. He's a killer but, honestly, he's a decent guy beyond his monotone nature. Which is kinda funny cos he's got more humanity than other "relatable" protagonists in games. :P
@@enygma4722 LOL I know what you mean, but they way you worded that was really odd. I guess you could say Hitmen are not serial killers or spree killers, that kill indiscriminately for personal reasons. They kill for pay, and at least between Diana and 47, all of the targets in the WOA trilogy are either really horrible people or trying to do really horrible things.
If you think back, almost all of 47's targets were absolute scumbags, and he had a conversation with a priest where the priest told him that (paraphrasing) sometimes good people have to do bad things to make the world a better place.
@@Shadowplayer_00 Hitman 2 - Silent Assassin, the OG one. Father Vittorio, one of 47's friends, tell him this. 47 actually does feel guilt about what he does, he just compartimentalizes everything.
Worked with one for a few years. She ended up being someone side chick, then she wigged out and tried to kill the dude. Ended up shooting his pregnant wife and killing her instead. She's kind of become a running joke at work. I admit that it didn't shock or surprise me at all that it happened, but it is weird to consider all of the personal interactions we had.
I always love that dissonance when characters who are literal monsters genuinely say and/or do wholesome things like this. It really adds a lot of depth, complexity, and unpredictability to them.
Almost everyone 47 ever killed was a genuine monster, the worst humanity has to offer. On my eyes that makes 47 a good person or atleast lawful neutral.
@@wonderbread4323 That didn't used to be the case. While everyone in the recent trilogy is a true villain, in previous games he's had targets that don't fit the bill of a true villains
I'm glad someone posted this. This was legit my favourite part of the game. There was no achievement or challenge associated with this moment, it was just 47 shooting the breeze, taking a moment to actually express a little humanity. It also reinforces the choice needed to achieve the good ending of the game.
There are many such moments in this trilogy. Developers don't talk about them, don't make achievements and challenges, but these moments are there. Therefore, it is very pleasant to sometimes go to some level, which, as you thought, you passed 100%, but still saw something new.
47 isn't emotionless, he just doesn't outwardly express emotion. There are several instances in both the new trilogy and the old games and show 47 being capable of feeling emotion. In the first game of the new trilogy, when finding out about the agency being used he argues that it didn't matter because "The contract was just." Past games have him making regular visits to a church to make confessions as well as donating most of his earnings to said church. He feels emotions, he just doesn't know how to show them.
Not going to lie, this is one of my favourite moments during the trilogy, we finally get to see 47 actually be somewhat human. No death puns, no lol epic foreshadowing about target. Just 47 helping someone get over socially anxious moment. Its really sweet and shows behind all that training and conditioning, he's still a human.
I love this little moment. Yes, 47 is a genetically modified assassin, but he's not exactly callus or monstrous. The violence in his character exists within the context of his work, and he carries himself professionally at all other times, and in small instances like this, show his wisdom through his experiences. Even his responses to her dilemma feel very pragmatic and utilitarian, which in another context would come off as almost robotic, but in this instance, is very human.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 Is he still a bad guy if he's mostly killed very bad people? That's the beauty of 47. He's a very gray character and the only thing he's known to do well is to kill. But at this point is when he starts to become more human and just after what had happened to Lucas Grey prior to this mission.
@@izzyraimi I dunno, I've seen him do some crazy shit during his time with the Agency and beyond. I mean, half of the things he does require quite a bit of technical knowledge.
@@pengclaudiosarno1372 There's a technique to it, you have to look down a little (not too much or you'll get smoke in your eyes) and face the tip of the cigarette downwards whenever you're holding it to shield it from the rain.
Sadly, he tried once to retire from being a hitman after Hitman: Codename 47. He became a groundskeeper for a church in Italy (I want to say). However, some people eventually sought him out and abducted the high ranking priest he had become friends with in a bid to get him to return to being an assassin for hire. Nowadays, he's a hitman because it's the only way he knows to keep people safe from associating with him and becoming targets for manipulation.
Oddly enough, this video gives off strong melancholy vibes to me, I don't know why but I just can't help it. In a weird way it's both sad and happy to see a random NPC having thoughts like this. She's so relatable, the voice actress really did an amazing job to put her emotions into that NPC.
I believe there's a sense of empathy here by 47. Although it was more evident in the older games, there is a sense that he develops as a 'human' throughout the new games, with his character being the most 'human' in the third game, as judging by his interactions with people. He recognises the beauty in two people meeting in the rain - he even portrays humour, recommending her to pick up the tab, likely suggesting that it may be something he himself would do if he were in the situation. It's a perfect example of 47's development, albeit little. I hope it is explored further in a fourth game.
I think it would always be best to keep it kind of a mystery just so that it's always surprising when it happens. Intrigue is what adds a lot of weight to a character and story. Regardless, though, this reboot was intended to be a trilogy, so it may be a little while before we see our beloved bald black suit murderer again.
Only thing that would’ve made this better, is small little animation where 47 reaches out the umbrella and says, “I think you need this more than me.” Then says have a good night and the camera turns the character around for the interaction to end
I can see what you mean, but she's standing in the rain while waiting for her friend who is also walking in the rain. She could be standing under the shelter just right next to her. If 47 did try to offer her an umbrella, but she rejects it, then he could say that she can hold onto it for her friend. She can let herself get drenched in the rain anyway. ... oh gosh that's so romantic omg oh gosh i'd love to do thatttttt
Kiryu could beat Agent 47 in a fight only to realize he swapped clothes with the pizza delivery guy mid combat and made his escape. And every rematch always ends like this with more ridiculous identity swapping.
Its crazy how I started here to do a challenge that was nearby, then I spent the majority of the time just listening to this conversation then actively trying to find the woman she was supposed to meet😆
And who says a hitman is always stone-cold? seriously though, I'd love to see him get some off-time and he's just this dude that goes around offering free counciling to random folks.
He probably does do that in the intermission periods between each contract. I can totally imagine him at several different jobs honing his infiltration skills by being anything from a bartender to a doctor.
I don't know if it's Canon, but I seem to remember it being part of 47's lore that he donates a good portion of the money he makes to various charities, buys suits, and the other hobbies a previous commenter included
This scene has 2 layers of awesomeness about 47 imho -His capability to keep attention to conversation along with pick details of surrounding, nothing short from world-renown assasins -His 'growth' as a 'human' who really cares and can has a kind, wholesome conversation. It's a prove that he become less of a killing tool and more of a human being. . And I think it fits this saga very well though.
A sociopathatic genius of his caliber can give you the best advice of your life, but he still won't actually empathize with you. During your whole conversation, he was coming up with 10 different ways to assassinate his next target
Agent 47 cares so little about anyone or anything that he'll give straight up professional advice to somebody to maintain his cover even if there's absolutely zero reason to maintain a cover.
what i love about 47 ..he's not good or bad ..he's just doing his job like a professonal the not targets dont need to be targets and if he feels like it ..he can give them some peace in a world of shadows and illusions ((illusions meaning people who are exploting others for their benefit))
This was one of the most amazing surprises I found while playing the game. It completely stunned me after playing as 47 for so long. I've never experienced anything else like this in a Hitman game, and I'm _so_ glad they put it in.
I love the idea that even as the perfected assassin, he still has some type of heart, but he’ll never be able to lead a normal life, so he uses that occasional empathy to help people he meets.
This man can literally do anything, between executing the perfect kill, to blending in, knowing how to mix drinks, play the drums like a beast, this man can do it all.
I like to think that 47 just has a "normal" life outside his job. Like cooking or making drinks so he can practice his desguises, watching movies and documentaries, reading tons of books and all of that just so he can be good at his job and be content and fulfilled about it while still finding purpose in all of that. After all, the guy is still human, he kills for a living but the games only shows us him killing comically evil villains, so that has to count for something right?
@@MichelangeloVA Yeah, if i remember he is currently over 60 years old so he'll be sticking around for a while. I wonder what kind of movies he likes, probably film noir?
I know there was one limited time mission in hitman 1 where you had to kill a writer and if you got a specific disguise you can have 47 ask the writer poignant questions about their new hit book for tween girls, and after the deed is done, if you escape on the jet, 47 pulls the book out and continues reading it.
Much like with all those post-irony memes about "this being the point Walter White of Breaking Bad turns into Heisenberg," I like to think this moment in the Hitman franchise as a whole is some subtle and thus great foreshadowing for what is to come as 47 begins to slowly transition into something more humane. Throughout the entire 20-year game series, we've been presented this soulless superhuman that can do anything and everything but is forced into their line of work due to extreme loyalty and lawfulness. Although, when the agency 47 has been so loyal to all these years turns their back on him, this truly human behavior begins to seep from his character in tiny bits as he slowly becomes more and more liberated. This moment, when looked at and compared with the ending of this chapter/game, is a beautiful character arc built to end on a positive note, liberating even the most inhumane man into something more.
Honestly I didn't know that there was even interactions like this in Hitman it really shows the depth of 47th character and how even if he has killed a lot of people he can still care about other people
I honestly like this kind of scenes. Just because someone is assasin, killer, policeman or whatever dosen't mean he/she don't have life and personality outside of that.
I love how 47 has less personality than any NPCs in this game. Like somehow they made the npcs more interesting lol. Which is why I don’t kill my targets right away.
The line about never meeting someone in the dead of night if you don't care is definitely 47 lampshading that his missions have some semblance of purpose for him. Feeling like someone who just gets used, and always gets stood up or betrayed... I think that's him all over. It's a bit mad that his meetings with his targets are the one constant he has in his life.
No. David Bateson was killed and replaced by genetically altered killer. That happened just before Bateson was to perform a role of genetically altered killer.
Indeed, 47 has always had a heart, he even donates a lot of his earnings to a church and orphans. He also had a fondness for small animals ever since he was a child, but he was punished for it and learned not to show his emotions, which could be used against him. Due to his extreme training and upbringing as a clone, he is always professional and was taught how to converse well with others in order to be better at infiltration/blending in. In order to avoid being a target himself, 47 usually doesn’t risk others being able to get a read on his emotions, except for a Priest and occasionally Diana.
Agent 47 is not devoid of human emotion, he's just very direct and almost robotic in his thinking. He reasons out why her date still cares even if she stood her up but both understanding human psychology and behavior. I really enjoy those moments (more in the original series) where 47 tries his darndest to relate to the people around him but called short since he needs to remain detached in order to be a functioning assassin. It's kind of sweet that he cares
Don't forget that 47 is a human being like everyone he has his own personality, his own psychology and feelings about life, ofc he's geneticly modified and he was raised to be a cold and heartless assassin but humans don't work like that, with time and reflexion... I think in Hitman 3 after all this time he feels emotions, sadness, pain, anger etc but he choose to burry them because he was raised this way (sorry for my english btw this isn't my mother thong..)
Your English is very good don't worry about it. But one thing... You said thong, insted of tongue which are too VERY DIFFERENT THINGS! and I wouldn't want to say that to an english speaker....
I love this conversation because it also applies to his situation with Diana, and about the larger themes of Hitman 3. Growing and changing, and evolving past the need to be an ICA Assassin.
This would be the best way I could think to reveal a character like this to the audience. It would interesting to see him have more conversations like this on every level.
He observes people, sneaking at places where people get intimate just to get to his goal, all means justified to make his ends meet, and he doesn't have any sexually perverted motives, even. This guy knows other people better than they know themselves, a pro.
He's offering advice based on what he knows of people, simple as that. Everything he says is a rational response to solve the presented problem: Why is the girl not there? She's running late. Afraid of change? People change. Does she really want to meet you? She asked to see you in this weather, she cares. Her shoes are ruined? Pick up the tab. It's a question/response interaction. I don't think we're seeing empathy per-se, but instead 47's ability to find solutions to problems. If he can kill people and make it seem like an accident, or do it without laying a single finger on them, then extricate without incident consistently, then finding simple A to B solutions should be easy enough. Sure, it's a social situation, but even basic "Square peg in square hole" thinking works wonders when things are complicated: sometimes a simple approach can untangle feelings.

This is why I was kinda mad IO retconned the idea of 47 having lost his emotions. He always had emotions, especially in the earlier games, we saw him learn to become human and have normal interactions with people and make friends along the way (father Vittorio, Mei Ling, etc.)
Is he still a clone in the story of the current games? I can't remember it ever being mentioned or referenced, unless I'm just not paying enough attention to the cutscenes in these 3
@@elmerofairo
Yes, there are multiple allusions to it along the story. When confronting Ingram and Stuyvesant Lucas Grey says that “providence made him”. In the short mental sequence before untouchable Diana’s voice alludes to 47 “exactly the tool they bred you to be”
@@courier6960 I think I interpreted those references to be very weak allusions. Like they were changing his background. They kinda sound like they could easily refer to him having been a child or something rather than a clone. It seems like anyone who's entering the series with the most recent games wouldn't be able to piece together the clone storyline at all
@@elmerofairo
They certainly are not changing 47’s story, that is for sure. I’m just mentioning some of the smaller ones, but IO doesn’t want to mess with the formula or 47s character much at this point. The game also makes several references to Ort-Meyer and the old games, IO has a lot of pride about the series past and I doubt they would wipe all of that away
@@courier6960 to me in the new series it felt more like Ort-Meyer instead of cloning he kidnapped and tortured children from a very young age to train them to be weapons. It's why Lucas and 47 didn't look like each other they just were abducted at much different times. Could be wrong tho but that felt like how they did it. Respecting the original story but grounding it just a little for the spy thriller setting they built for Hitman 2016
With all his “life experiences” 47 seems like a great philosopher. Most of his responses in the type of side convos are brief and to the point. One might think he was only half paying attention to them. However he seems to examine every word people say (probably comes with his trade) and then carefully crafts an expertly precise response that highlights the overthinking in this ladies case. And once you realize this he becomes rather trustworthy, caring, and friendly person to be around.
It feels weird that an assassin is an inspirational character that I try take example of.
At this point, he's an assassin mainly because him trying to lead a normal life would likely result in those he cares about being threatened. Which is what kicked off one of the earlier Hitman games.
@@Techhunter_Talon More importantly, it's all he knows.
@@LordVader1094 Which is the exact conclusion he drew at the end of said earlier Hitman game.
@@LordVader1094 i doubt someone who can assassinate presidents only knows how to kill.
I bet he can make a very sharp entrepreneur and run companies with his observation and people skills.

She’s your target. Jk
Really!?
@@scribblingfox9828 it was nice knowing her...
A friend of mine who was in the Navy with me had a conversation while on deployment with a really nice guy during a port call in Spain. My friend spoke Spanish, and the guy he randomly spoke to asked him what it was like to be at sea, free of everything that you left behind on land. My friend told him that being at sea doesn't make you free from your loves, passions, and concerns; it separates you from them in a way that induces anxiety and makes you appreciate those important or troubling things that you cannot reach or effect. It makes you realize how much you take life for granted.
The man took a gun out of his pocket, handed it to my friend, and said that he was going to reconsider what he was planning to do that evening. With that, he walked off, leaving my friend in stunned silence. My friend still has that gun, though he removed the firing pin. He wasn't sure whether the man planned to take his own life or do something even more terrible, but he felt that he should keep the gun as a reminder of the encounter, but in a state where it could never fill its originally intended purpose of hurting anyone.
I do wish the random conversations in the Hitman series led to conclusions that you can see. Such as if the lady in this scene had her girlfriend show up while you are waiting.
Wow...
Hope the gun wasn't a silverballer
The idea of keeping the gun without the firing ping is beautiful.
Altough I'm curious, how could he keep the gun? An US sailor can take a gun from another country and take it with him on the ship?
@@alvaro701 You can because the US Navy does not allow foreign nations to inspect its warships. If you want the ship to make a port call in your city, you have to accept that as a condition.
He didn't go making a big fuss about having the firearm.
@@Josh-99 ah okok. Thanks for the answer
I very like how at first, he's kinda cold, but once he hears her out a little more, he becomes kinder in his responses, realizing he is kind of in the same situation in a way.
Interesting indeed, the parallel between this woman's situation and 47's situation with Diana in Hitman 3.
There's shelter right beside but they decide to stay in the rain.
It makes everything more dramatic :)
Wouldn’t get that nice view otherwise, I suppose.
@@sebicmiel4221 no, it looks silly. Shes smoking too
She didn't even put her hoodie up.
At least HE has an umbrella.
I literally just got this doing a contract and thought it was really interesting
47 has never been a terrible person. He's a killer but, honestly, he's a decent guy beyond his monotone nature. Which is kinda funny cos he's got more humanity than other "relatable" protagonists in games. :P
I guess he is different to other video game killers because of his reasons for killing. He is a hired assassin it is just his job.
hitman aren't killers they are mercenaries doing their jobs its a huge difference
@@enygma4722 hitmen kill people for money, meaning they are by definition killers
@@enygma4722 LOL I know what you mean, but they way you worded that was really odd. I guess you could say Hitmen are not serial killers or spree killers, that kill indiscriminately for personal reasons. They kill for pay, and at least between Diana and 47, all of the targets in the WOA trilogy are either really horrible people or trying to do really horrible things.
@@enygma4722 "I'm not a crazed gunman dad, I'm an assassin! Well the difference being one is a job and the other's mental sickness!"
If you think back, almost all of 47's targets were absolute scumbags, and he had a conversation with a priest where the priest told him that (paraphrasing) sometimes good people have to do bad things to make the world a better place.
Indeed, my Original Character had at one point betrayed his comgrades to save from a direct military assault.
Wait a minute, where do these words come from? I literally replayed the entire series of games a week ago, but I don’t remember this

@@Shadowplayer_00 Hitman 2 - Silent Assassin, the OG one. Father Vittorio, one of 47's friends, tell him this. 47 actually does feel guilt about what he does, he just compartimentalizes everything.
I wonder how often strangers we meet are killers.
Worked with one for a few years. She ended up being someone side chick, then she wigged out and tried to kill the dude. Ended up shooting his pregnant wife and killing her instead. She's kind of become a running joke at work. I admit that it didn't shock or surprise me at all that it happened, but it is weird to consider all of the personal interactions we had.

perfect cut as someone appears climbing down the stairs.
I always love that dissonance when characters who are literal monsters genuinely say and/or do wholesome things like this. It really adds a lot of depth, complexity, and unpredictability to them.
Almost everyone 47 ever killed was a genuine monster, the worst humanity has to offer. On my eyes that makes 47 a good person or atleast lawful neutral.
Agent 47 isn’t a monster. He’s a professional, and his profession is death.
@@wonderbread4323 That didn't used to be the case. While everyone in the recent trilogy is a true villain, in previous games he's had targets that don't fit the bill of a true villains
@@Necron1999 killing, not 'death'.
@@wonderbread4323 Penelope Graves :(
I'm glad someone posted this. This was legit my favourite part of the game. There was no achievement or challenge associated with this moment, it was just 47 shooting the breeze, taking a moment to actually express a little humanity. It also reinforces the choice needed to achieve the good ending of the game.
There are many such moments in this trilogy. Developers don't talk about them, don't make achievements and challenges, but these moments are there. Therefore, it is very pleasant to sometimes go to some level, which, as you thought, you passed 100%, but still saw something new.
@@Shadowplayer_00 those moments are the achievement
Agent 47 could be a therapist in his spare time .
Stay Safe everyone 🖤 , Mask up 😷 , save lives .
Above all be kind 🖤.
lmao
He could be anything in his spare time tbh
Well he was once but than smothered his patient
It was smothering experience.
He is, in a mission story in sapienza at least.
Kind of unusual for an almost emotionless, genetically engineered killing machine lol.
"Almost" :^]
Nah, 47’s really perceptive and good at reading and talking to people. He’s just completely detached; he has no emotions or morals.
@@nobleradical2158 he does though. This whole trilogy was about him finding his identity and ideology.
@@brucesnow7125 yeah, you’re right. But in this scene, and when operating normally (like he was designed to), he is detached.
47 isn't emotionless, he just doesn't outwardly express emotion. There are several instances in both the new trilogy and the old games and show 47 being capable of feeling emotion. In the first game of the new trilogy, when finding out about the agency being used he argues that it didn't matter because "The contract was just." Past games have him making regular visits to a church to make confessions as well as donating most of his earnings to said church. He feels emotions, he just doesn't know how to show them.
Not going to lie, this is one of my favourite moments during the trilogy, we finally get to see 47 actually be somewhat human. No death puns, no lol epic foreshadowing about target.
Just 47 helping someone get over socially anxious moment. Its really sweet and shows behind all that training and conditioning, he's still a human.
I love this little moment. Yes, 47 is a genetically modified assassin, but he's not exactly callus or monstrous. The violence in his character exists within the context of his work, and he carries himself professionally at all other times, and in small instances like this, show his wisdom through his experiences. Even his responses to her dilemma feel very pragmatic and utilitarian, which in another context would come off as almost robotic, but in this instance, is very human.
The thing is he is still a bad guy, he's killed quite a few innocents.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 collateral damage. and anyways its nothing personal.....just business
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 Is he still a bad guy if he's mostly killed very bad people? That's the beauty of 47. He's a very gray character and the only thing he's known to do well is to kill. But at this point is when he starts to become more human and just after what had happened to Lucas Grey prior to this mission.
@izzyraimi I will say that it is mostly Blood Money where he could be considered a bad guy. The newer games definitely mellowed him out more.
@@izzyraimi I dunno, I've seen him do some crazy shit during his time with the Agency and beyond. I mean, half of the things he does require quite a bit of technical knowledge.
Okay, but nobody is gonna comment the fact that she's smoking in the rain? Lol
Addiction is really something. Ain't it.
Me mum does that all the time, nicotine addiction is a shitty thing
I remember my uncle going out in a snow storm to smoke cigarettes because of my cousins. He didn't want them to inhale the smokes.
Yeah no but addiction aside: the rain WILL put out your cigarette
@@pengclaudiosarno1372 There's a technique to it, you have to look down a little (not too much or you'll get smoke in your eyes) and face the tip of the cigarette downwards whenever you're holding it to shield it from the rain.
47 could easily retire from this kind of life and become a pretty good therapist.
Instead of trying to help people with their problems, he already has a job that makes ones problems completely disappear.
if he retires,more scumbags rise.
[Silvio Caruso has entered the chat]
47 could do a lot of jobs if he retired.
Sadly, he tried once to retire from being a hitman after Hitman: Codename 47. He became a groundskeeper for a church in Italy (I want to say). However, some people eventually sought him out and abducted the high ranking priest he had become friends with in a bid to get him to return to being an assassin for hire. Nowadays, he's a hitman because it's the only way he knows to keep people safe from associating with him and becoming targets for manipulation.
Oddly enough, this video gives off strong melancholy vibes to me, I don't know why but I just can't help it. In a weird way it's both sad and happy to see a random NPC having thoughts like this. She's so relatable, the voice actress really did an amazing job to put her emotions into that NPC.
I believe there's a sense of empathy here by 47. Although it was more evident in the older games, there is a sense that he develops as a 'human' throughout the new games, with his character being the most 'human' in the third game, as judging by his interactions with people. He recognises the beauty in two people meeting in the rain - he even portrays humour, recommending her to pick up the tab, likely suggesting that it may be something he himself would do if he were in the situation. It's a perfect example of 47's development, albeit little. I hope it is explored further in a fourth game.
I think it would always be best to keep it kind of a mystery just so that it's always surprising when it happens. Intrigue is what adds a lot of weight to a character and story. Regardless, though, this reboot was intended to be a trilogy, so it may be a little while before we see our beloved bald black suit murderer again.
**proceeds to go on a murder spree**
Almost feels bad to start it with her
I love how 47 isn't some sort of cold heartless killer. My man is just doing his job
Only thing that would’ve made this better, is small little animation where 47 reaches out the umbrella and says, “I think you need this more than me.”
Then says have a good night and the camera turns the character around for the interaction to end
I had to scroll way too far past comments of people talking about empathy to find this comment about him not sharing the umbrella.
That would have been way too cheesy lmao
I can see what you mean, but she's standing in the rain while waiting for her friend who is also walking in the rain. She could be standing under the shelter just right next to her.
If 47 did try to offer her an umbrella, but she rejects it, then he could say that she can hold onto it for her friend. She can let herself get drenched in the rain anyway.
...
oh gosh that's so romantic omg oh gosh i'd love to do thatttttt
He's like kiryu in a way. Love em both.
47 vs Kiryu hand to hand
Kiryu could beat Agent 47 in a fight only to realize he swapped clothes with the pizza delivery guy mid combat and made his escape.
And every rematch always ends like this with more ridiculous identity swapping.
i read the comment and kiryu immediately made me think kiryu coco from hololive and my mental image of coco and 47 fighting made me laugh
Its so nice to see other Yakuza fans out in the wild. With how underrated this series used to be it almost feels unnatural.
Agent 47 isnt as good at karaoke
Its crazy how I started here to do a challenge that was nearby, then I spent the majority of the time just listening to this conversation then actively trying to find the woman she was supposed to meet😆
She's standing like 3 feet outside a place where she would be protected from the rain
I want you to know out of all the comments I saw on here this one actually made me laugh aloud. Thank you kind soul.
Gotta keep the mood on
'I'm just... I don't know... *Dead weight*'
The amount of character development that 47 has shown by not making a death pun out of it is insane
0:14: Awesome Frame to stay in.
0:40: The worst frame to stay in, but the one he actually stayed in....
this is indeed a wholesome moment from our favorite assassin. It would have been even more charming if he gave her the umbrella.
I think he does, when you stop blending in.
Agent 47 is still by far one of the best protagonists in all of gaming.
*"wholesome"*
Meanwhile, Agent 47 is casually not sharing his umbrella
Wouldn't it have seemed like he was pulling a fast one on a visibly distressed person in her POV?
She's smoking, he doesn't want any of that second-hand smoke.
I think he gives it to her once you stop blending in.
And who says a hitman is always stone-cold?
seriously though, I'd love to see him get some off-time and he's just this dude that goes around offering free counciling to random folks.
He probably does do that in the intermission periods between each contract. I can totally imagine him at several different jobs honing his infiltration skills by being anything from a bartender to a doctor.
There's bits in blood money that show that he likes to keep birds and reads a lot in his off time
I don't know if it's Canon, but I seem to remember it being part of 47's lore that he donates a good portion of the money he makes to various charities, buys suits, and the other hobbies a previous commenter included
In hitman 2 he quits being an assassin and works as a gardener at a church.
(Edit for clarification: The ORIGINAL hitman 2.
@@komradekradles8731 he got back to his job after something happened(i dont remember)
This scene has 2 layers of awesomeness about 47 imho
-His capability to keep attention to conversation along with pick details of surrounding, nothing short from world-renown assasins
-His 'growth' as a 'human' who really cares and can has a kind, wholesome conversation. It's a prove that he become less of a killing tool and more of a human being.
.
And I think it fits this saga very well though.
He can guide others to a treasure he himself cannot possess
A sociopathatic genius of his caliber can give you the best advice of your life, but he still won't actually empathize with you. During your whole conversation, he was coming up with 10 different ways to assassinate his next target
Agent 47 may be a stone cold killer but damn hes a smooth talker
he is the guy who invests in his speech stat in the beginning of a fallout game
Agent 47 cares so little about anyone or anything that he'll give straight up professional advice to somebody to maintain his cover even if there's absolutely zero reason to maintain a cover.
That's one way to look at it
This is how he tries to justify this to himself.
💯
what i love about 47 ..he's not good or bad ..he's just doing his job like a professonal the not targets dont need to be targets and if he feels like it ..he can give them some peace in a world of shadows and illusions ((illusions meaning people who are exploting others for their benefit))
he is basically,Lawful Neutral.
“and they were roommates”
oh my god they were roommates
"Harold, they're lesbians."
“Harold, they’re gay”
This was one of the most amazing surprises I found while playing the game. It completely stunned me after playing as 47 for so long. I've never experienced anything else like this in a Hitman game, and I'm _so_ glad they put it in.
A lot of the comments seem to be missing the point that he had his emotions restored just recently and that's one of the main reason why he does this.
He also pushes her over the railing right after! Shameful.
No, it depends on you..she doesn't seem like the target @@requiem51
I love the idea that even as the perfected assassin, he still has some type of heart, but he’ll never be able to lead a normal life, so he uses that occasional empathy to help people he meets.
This man can literally do anything, between executing the perfect kill, to blending in, knowing how to mix drinks, play the drums like a beast, this man can do it all.
Except dance
Considering the stakes that 47 is going through, the fact that he can still give a bit of his time for someone is a nice moment
Damn... I need a friend that’ll lay out the facts that quickly without even attempting to waffle it like that.
I like to think that 47 just has a "normal" life outside his job. Like cooking or making drinks so he can practice his desguises, watching movies and documentaries, reading tons of books and all of that just so he can be good at his job and be content and fulfilled about it while still finding purpose in all of that. After all, the guy is still human, he kills for a living but the games only shows us him killing comically evil villains, so that has to count for something right?
@@MichelangeloVA Yeah, if i remember he is currently over 60 years old so he'll be sticking around for a while. I wonder what kind of movies he likes, probably film noir?
@@MichelangeloVA holy shit we share the same birthday
I know there was one limited time mission in hitman 1 where you had to kill a writer and if you got a specific disguise you can have 47 ask the writer poignant questions about their new hit book for tween girls, and after the deed is done, if you escape on the jet, 47 pulls the book out and continues reading it.
This almost makes me feel bad for throwing this lady off the side rail at the beginning of this mission every time I play it
bruh
You are a literal monster
She should've picked up the tab.
@@matteo1388 Its an NPC. its in a video game. I hope you're just being sarcastic.
I did that too
Reverse Hitman game where you have to fix people's relationships, while undercover, before extracting.
Much like with all those post-irony memes about "this being the point Walter White of Breaking Bad turns into Heisenberg," I like to think this moment in the Hitman franchise as a whole is some subtle and thus great foreshadowing for what is to come as 47 begins to slowly transition into something more humane. Throughout the entire 20-year game series, we've been presented this soulless superhuman that can do anything and everything but is forced into their line of work due to extreme loyalty and lawfulness.
Although, when the agency 47 has been so loyal to all these years turns their back on him, this truly human behavior begins to seep from his character in tiny bits as he slowly becomes more and more liberated. This moment, when looked at and compared with the ending of this chapter/game, is a beautiful character arc built to end on a positive note, liberating even the most inhumane man into something more.
“Stop blending in” button feels too real
Honestly I didn't know that there was even interactions like this in Hitman it really shows the depth of 47th character and how even if he has killed a lot of people he can still care about other people
I am JUST NOW REALISING that this is a metaphor for agent47 and Diana!’s relationship
Man
Agent 47 is just so damn cool 😎👌
I honestly like this kind of scenes. Just because someone is assasin, killer, policeman or whatever dosen't mean he/she don't have life and personality outside of that.
He's like a friendly, deadly version of BBC Sherlock. More likeable too.
I love how 47 has less personality than any NPCs in this game. Like somehow they made the npcs more interesting lol. Which is why I don’t kill my targets right away.
I like the cold grim and somewhat caring personality of agent 47
Every time I start this map in this location, I always wait through this dialogue, because it's so nice.
The line about never meeting someone in the dead of night if you don't care is definitely 47 lampshading that his missions have some semblance of purpose for him. Feeling like someone who just gets used, and always gets stood up or betrayed... I think that's him all over. It's a bit mad that his meetings with his targets are the one constant he has in his life.
I do like it when badass characters have a wholesome side to them. It makes them more likable to me.
Plot twist: Agent 47 is actually Johnny Sins.
He does have the haircut for it.
No. David Bateson was killed and replaced by genetically altered killer. That happened just before Bateson was to perform a role of genetically altered killer.
47 showed “empathy” this proves that 47 does have a heart after all.
Indeed, 47 has always had a heart, he even donates a lot of his earnings to a church and orphans. He also had a fondness for small animals ever since he was a child, but he was punished for it and learned not to show his emotions, which could be used against him.
Due to his extreme training and upbringing as a clone, he is always professional and was taught how to converse well with others in order to be better at infiltration/blending in. In order to avoid being a target himself, 47 usually doesn’t risk others being able to get a read on his emotions, except for a Priest and occasionally Diana.
A character like Agent 47, someone who shows little to no empathy for anything being nice to anyone always warms my heart.
my favourite moment in the series. Love 47 so goddamn much he always surprises me.
He would've made an excellent priest if he wasn't convinced he didn't "deserve" or "belong in" a peaceful life.
Silent Assassin's ending always makes me tear a bit.
Agent 47 is not devoid of human emotion, he's just very direct and almost robotic in his thinking. He reasons out why her date still cares even if she stood her up but both understanding human psychology and behavior. I really enjoy those moments (more in the original series) where 47 tries his darndest to relate to the people around him but called short since he needs to remain detached in order to be a functioning assassin. It's kind of sweet that he cares
Don't forget that 47 is a human being like everyone he has his own personality, his own psychology and feelings about life, ofc he's geneticly modified and he was raised to be a cold and heartless assassin but humans don't work like that, with time and reflexion... I think in Hitman 3 after all this time he feels emotions, sadness, pain, anger etc but he choose to burry them because he was raised this way (sorry for my english btw this isn't my mother thong..)
Your English is very good don't worry about it. But one thing... You said thong, insted of tongue which are too VERY DIFFERENT THINGS! and I wouldn't want to say that to an english speaker....
I always love the ambiguity of 47 as he knows so much more than he lets on. He's so much more than an elite assassin
When there's a genuine pure human interaction in a game about assassination. Probably the reason why Hitman is so loved xd
People would often think of 47 as cold stoned. But he’s actually a charming and loveable guy.
*Low key the hitman is just genuinely a good guy...*
It's tiny little moments like this in video games that I believe is the whole reason why I'm in love with games in the first place.
That was a truly great moment seeing another aspect of 47's personality like that showing that he's much more of a person than just a clever killer
I love this conversation because it also applies to his situation with Diana, and about the larger themes of Hitman 3. Growing and changing, and evolving past the need to be an ICA Assassin.
I came here looking for a wholesome 47 moment and I wasn't disappointed
remember 47 knows human behavior better then anyone else he's bred to do it
His advice is probably true
Lowkey, Agent 47 would make a brilliant therapist.
I’ve always liked this moment. Nothing wrong with making him a teeny tiny bit human.
This would be the best way I could think to reveal a character like this to the audience. It would interesting to see him have more conversations like this on every level.
He observes people, sneaking at places where people get intimate just to get to his goal, all means justified to make his ends meet, and he doesn't have any sexually perverted motives, even. This guy knows other people better than they know themselves, a pro.
He's offering advice based on what he knows of people, simple as that. Everything he says is a rational response to solve the presented problem:
Why is the girl not there? She's running late.
Afraid of change? People change.
Does she really want to meet you? She asked to see you in this weather, she cares.
Her shoes are ruined? Pick up the tab.
It's a question/response interaction. I don't think we're seeing empathy per-se, but instead 47's ability to find solutions to problems. If he can kill people and make it seem like an accident, or do it without laying a single finger on them, then extricate without incident consistently, then finding simple A to B solutions should be easy enough. Sure, it's a social situation, but even basic "Square peg in square hole" thinking works wonders when things are complicated: sometimes a simple approach can untangle feelings.
This shows 47 is still partly human.

Seriously, there's her friend around the map?
Agent 47 would be the best person for advice because he doesn’t consider anyone’s emotions towards giving advice, not even his own. just the truth.
