David. Martinez.

Be one of the people in the game who can leave their name in the Hotel of the Afterlife

He doesn't have a sense of existence in the game, and the word just has a name.

But in the Edgewalker animation, he is the absolute protagonist.

And, at the time of his appearance, he was a restless high school student.

Will go to the underground prosthetic doctor to experience these illegal Mewtwo images.

He has a fairly warm family.

Mother is an employee in the police department who is responsible for handling the logistics of the aftermath in the story world.

Fair-skinned and beautiful, a standard beautiful aunt, frugal on weekdays, on call 24 hours a day, just to make money for his son David to successfully graduate from Arasaka Academy and climb to the highest place in Night City

On the Arasaka Tower!

In the anime, it's a pun on the climb to the Arasaka Tower, which means that David's mother hopes that he can join the Arasaka Company, the most powerful company organization in Night City, after graduation, and work in the Arasaka Tower to become a real human being, so she works hard for her son to study.

In the later content of the animation, David literally climbed to the top of the Arasaka Tower.

[The washing machine stopped again, did you forget to recharge?] David said speechlessly.

"Forget about me again," David's mother said, covering her head.

The short two-sentence dialogue also made Luo Wei see it.

This family, no money.

At least David's mother is definitely a moonlight clan.

And the other setting is that in this world, everything costs money, and in the apartment rented by the two, even the use of the washing machine has to be charged regularly, a world where money is paramount.

The main character, David, leaves his home, and on the way from his house to Arasaka Academy, those who can't afford to live in an apartment fight in the street, urinate and urinate, and sleep in garbage cans.

This.. It's the bottom of Night City.

And out of the slum area.

Beautiful city building, towering tall buildings, blue sky, as well.

Spotless ground and urban air rail.

David, although his family was very poor, his mother still managed to get him to study in a school in this kind of core area.

In order to save money, David used pirated version of his own teaching software, which caused the school equipment to be damaged by a pirated software virus, and offended the son of the dean of the college as a result.

For this reason, his mother came to school to help him wipe his ass and deal with the aftermath.

Families who are already strapped for money will have to pay more for the loss of equipment.

When Luo Wei saw this, he roughly understood the worldview setting of this Night City.

Honestly, it kind of took him breathless.

[I can take a leave of absence, work early, etc.] As long as I am poor, it is impossible to be taken seriously, and no matter how hard I study, I can't be like them, and I don't want to be like them. In order to reduce the burden on his mother, David took the initiative to say this to his mother in the car.

[Then I've been working hard, what is it for?] The mother was driving the car, and her voice suddenly choked up, and tears suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes.

[You are so smart and talented, so I worked hard to make money for you to study at Arasaka AcademyIf you don't want to study anymore, then I, what should I do? I want you to be an elite and climb to the top of the Arasaka Tower, I know you have this talent]

[I'm sorry, don't cry. David's eyes became solemn and overwhelmed, and he immediately changed his words to comfort his mother.

When Luo Wei saw this, he suddenly fell silent, this plot.. It's heavy.

Unlike the usual animation with a light-hearted plot, the animation of Cyberpunk Edgewalker has been depicting the deformity of the beautiful city of Night City from the beginning to the present.

The mother and son continued to talk about going to school in the car.

However, the life of mother and son, which was already difficult, happened at this moment.

On the street, the gang organized a fierce fight, and the speeding bullets shot the car in which David and the two were riding into a hornet's nest.

David's mother overturned on the spot while driving, and her mother was seriously injured.

However, the city's search and rescue forces, which arrived in a minute, did not rescue David's mother at all, because her mother could not afford to buy an insurance package and was directly treated as garbage waiting to die.

Even contact the corpse truck directly.

When Luo Wei saw this, an inexplicable sense of anger rose.

She's not dead yet, what kind of corpse carrier does your search and rescue team and trauma team contact?

Just see death and can't be saved?

What kind of night city is this, what kind of ghost city is it!

David struggled to carry his mother's badly injured body to a small clinic, but he had to scrape together his mother's medical expenses to finally save her.

After ordering a cheap treatment package, David began to sell his mother's relics chips to pay for medical expenses.

Then, among his mother's relics, he found Sianweistan, the prosthetic body of the muscular man from Mewtwo, who had previously experienced it.

At school he was beaten by his dean's son by an implanted kung fu skill chip, and then in the afternoon

In the small clinic where his mother was treated, only this message was left for him.

He's dead

He's dead

In just one day, he was expelled from school, and his mother died in a gang crash.

He was also beaten up by the dean's son at school through an implanted kung fu chip.

This encounter.

"It's too miserable." Luo Wei blinked.

Looking at David's motionless eyes in the animation, in the afternoon, he saw the urn of things in the clinic

His mother, who was still talking to him about her life yesterday, is now just a pile of dust in this box.

Desperate, Luo Wei really felt hopeless.

But then, through various hints in the animation, it is revealed that the clinic where David's mother is seeking medical treatment has a problem, and it cooperates with scavengers, an organization that illegally buys and sells human parts.

This information made Luo Wei have various associations.

No way.

Was David's mother deliberately killed?

It's just that because I don't have money, I used pirated software, I was asked to be a parent, and then my mother was killed on the way back.

Because he didn't have money, he was bullied by the people in school.

Because he didn't have the money to go to a big hospital, he sent his mother to a small clinic, and then eventually led to the murder of his mother.

Even if the members of the trauma team rushed to the scene of the gang fight as soon as possible, they would only rescue those who had bought insurance, and for David's mother, who did not spend a lot of money on insurance, they would not even do anything like sending her to the hospital by the way.

The city is cold to the extreme.

Now that his mother is dead, David can't even go back home. Because when I entered the house, I had to pay the arrears in the house.

Now he has to raise money to bury his mother.

And the college hated him, and the dean's son's classmate named Katsuo beat David, and at this time he got the news of David's mother's death from the school, and deliberately sent a voice message to mock him.

[It is pointless for your mother to work so hard to get her baby son to go to school, but she dies in an accident. 】

This is the cyberpunk worldview.

At the end of the first episode of the anime, David looks at the bloody spinal prosthetic body that his mother had secretly hidden in her home through her job as a police department support officer.

Sianweistan.

His originally clear young eyes have changed. Become firm, become cold.

I came to the shop of the underground prosthetic merchant.

[It's you! David! Dr. Prosthetic said with a smile.

[Do you finally want to sell?] Your mother's relics, Sianweistan. 】

David looked at the bloody Sanwistan on his hand, and then pointed to himself.

Its previous controller eventually died after using it too much and suffering from cyberpsychosis.

And the protagonist David can't care about these at the moment.

"I want to put it inside me. 】

Cyberpunk Edgerunner, the end of the first episode.

Luo Wei looked at the picture of the ending song, and at this moment, he was still very sad in his heart.

From beginning to end of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edge Walker, there is no cool plot, and the whole process abuses the master, but all his abuse is ultimately just to make the protagonist make up his mind to do so at the moment.

Selling the lost prosthetic body of the muscular man that the whole city is looking for everywhere now, there is no way to bring the mother back, but implanting this prosthesis, it will be different.

The protagonist knows very well that without strength, even if he sells his prosthetic body at the moment and scrapes together money to help his mother bury it, it will be meaningless

The dean's son insulted and mocked her dead mother and beat him up for revenge, and David was ready to avenge himself.

Luo Wei let out a long breath

After watching this episode, he can't judge this animation, because the plot has not fully unfolded, and it is not clear about the subsequent development of the animation, but at least in the animation painting and the foreshadowing of the world view...

He blows up.

This kind of cyberpunk two-dimensional painting style is really cool.

and the cruel world built inside, it's sad enough to just look at it like this.

It's just that Nima's plot is a little too depressing, and I hope the protagonist can encounter some happy things in the next episode, which is too miserable.

At around twelve o'clock in the evening, Modu TV1 announced the results of the edge walkers.

The first episode of Cyberpunk Edgerunner has a rating of 4.02% at the beginning, 4.36% at the end, and an average rating of 4.12% for the whole episode
