| wow Timeskip... So David really become like Maine? Finally getting some Lucy backstory. |
 |
| Just how long was this timeskip? Cant be too long since Lucy still wants more time pretty good again though, felt like 5 minutes Lucy and David seem to be living together? Becca is still around which is nice |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Lol Julio's introduction was rather short but he seemed goofy af kek. David looks like Maine now.. Lucy's story was awesome! |
| It happened some time after Maine. David became the leader and became popular, Lucy moved away from the group but is still with David. Although the final scene...what happened?  |
| Quite some time passed since the deaths of Maine and Dorio. David is jacked aff now and looks like he's the leader now. They did that rookie so dirty LMFAO. Anyway, that last convo between david and lucy was beautiful and her past revealed. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| David has inherited Maine's position after that incident. If a rookie dies under his command, they die. He takes the charge in negotiations as there is no one else. Rebecca cheerful as usual. We learn more about Lucy's past. She and David are good couple. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Bit of a time jump, and Dee's taken the wheel! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I reckon that it's been a couple of years or so since the event of the last ep judging by David's appearance here post-time skip, but looking at the canonical chronological events, it should not be more than a year, so the time skip might be several months at best. Still, David got majorly upgraded hooly, he doesn't even resemble the physique that he once has when his only augmentation is the sandevistan, and now he's stepped full of tech in his body. Kinda make me worried that he might suffer from cyber psychosis as well. Forget appearances alone, status wise, he already made a name for himself, enough to get a big-ass apartment flat for himself and Lucy, hell yeah that's awesome. Lucy's backstory is revealed and honestly, that explains how she's such an effective hacker, she is essentially alive just to serve Arasaka's interest. Good thing she's on Davids side, despite him not knowing Lucy's been protecting David from all these mofo out to get him. |
  |
| I was a little caught off guard with the time-skip, but it is nice to see that David has become the leader of the crew. Absolutely did not see Rebecca trying to get with David. Damn Lucy, you scary. |
 |
| Mah boi David went to chrome gym! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| If I were David I definitely woulda got with Rebecca then. |
 |
| Ayo, I expected David to get Maine's arm implant but I didn't expect him to get so jacked and chromed up. It looks like he is the new leader of whatever is left of the gang. It seems like they have a new mission dealer too. Rip Julio, I guess 💀💀💀 We got a glimpse of Lucy's past. Tough life. So the Arasaka's are trying to retrieve some memory/info that Tanaka had and Lucy had discovered that day? |
 |
| I was guessing that Lucy had been running away from something in the past. |
 |
| Timeskip here and tbh, I can't say I like it at all. We got more of Lucy's past so it's not total bad or anything. |
| I had a feeling Giancarlo Esposito from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul was voicing Faraday. His voice is easy to recognize. |
 |
| Wow, it seems like a lot of time has passed since the events of the last episode. David got implants, and so did Lucy. Lucy is even more beautiful than before. |
| Damn David went all out with the new implants. Was good finally learning about Lucy's past. |
 |
| Wow, David has changed so much in just a few episodes. He's bigger and stronger now. Oh yeah, my idol Adam Smasher! He's such a badass! Lucy fanservice is always appreciated! Once our timeline gets our own version of cyberware, working out to bulk up will become obsolete. |
| Everyone is all so grown up now and David really has came along way when he started. |
  |
| Ngl i didn't expect the time skip but they played it out ok. If the studio had a bigger budget, i'm sure they could of fleshed out and shown more about the time after the major incident. David taking the mantle after Maine's death was surprising, the incident definitely changed him but he's become more mature in those years. I was also surprised to see Lucy again, from what happened last episode, to David after their heist saying they don't anymore, genuinely thought Lucy left him but nah. Its nice to see them happy together at least, they've both been through their fair amount of shit so seeing them still out there for one another was nice. David being mostly cybernetics is just so many red flags. I'm genuinely surprised he went down that route, he saw a cyberpsycho blow a crew members head off, and watched Maine who was kinda turning into that parental figure slowly lose himself and it eventually killing him. It feels weird that he took almost none of his past crewmembers mistakes as a lesson, and instead went ahead anyway. I guess he's still basking in the high that he's "special" from what Jimmy told him and Doc Ripper telling him he has an affinity to cybernetics. Still sucks that he decided to go so far even though it seems like he's doing well for himself. Also i feel like they didn't change his facial proportions at all, he looks like a body builder with the facial structure of his 15/16 year old self. Honestly i know its still early, but i'm still surprised that David decided to buff up on cybernetics. I guess the defence here is about him "chasing a dream" much like Lucy. If i'm correct, it seems David is chasing Maine's dream of... becoming a renowned cyberpunk? I'm not actually sure what dream David is actually trying to chase that requires him to follow in Maine's footsteps to closely. At least this ep we get Lucy's backstory, and how the dream she's chasing is her own freedom, but in David's case i guess he's just trying to be Maine? But at the same time, Maine told him before his death to "keep running" implying David should live free, but if so, this hurts extra hard if David's implication of this wasn't to get jacked on cybernetics to follow Maine's footsteps, instead doing it on his own accord and again neglecting Maine's mistakes. Again, i know its still early to make assumptions, but seeing everything David has right now, the really luxurious apartment, living a happy relationship with Lucy, fame on the streets. Seeing him taking a risking gamble cus he's "special" and possibly becoming a cyberpsycho like dosen't sit well with me. |
 "yabe." |
| How much time went by for David to become almost completely metal?? His arms and legs now! He has more lines too lol so are he and Lucy living together now? Becca is a little goofy lol The end scene was weird... |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| Showing David taking down that big maelstrom in slow-motion then immediately in real time was beautiful. Speaking of maelstrom, they seem to be doing alright most of the time, I always wondered why they all don't suffer from severe cyberpsychosis when they're pretty much not even human anymore. I guess some implants hit harder than others, or that some just have a better tolerance for it. So we had Hanzo, now we have McCree, that being Falco (who didn't really seem to receive a proper introduction, he was just kind of thrown into the action in the previous episode). Dude also voices Levi Ackerman in the AOT dub as well, dang, who knew. I had forgotten about Lucy's backstory, how it was about chasing someone else's dream, and then her mirroring that with David. Adds even more weight to a story that is already quite heavy. Man this is really making me want to play the game again. |

| Pretty solid episode I guess but the timeskip definitely does feel very rushed. I guess that's a fault of such a short runtime, but I wonder if it's what fits best, we'll see. I forgot all about Lucy's backstory, really great at giving one of the better characters an emotional backstory as well as exploring more of the world. |
