[him]

Honestly the best episode in the whole show imo

[Causality]

Even in a psychotic state, he had a tender moment and remained sane to bid his adopted little brother a final goodbye.

[anthonyschwabe]

I love that David and Maine were both strong enough to come out of cyber psychosis just to share their final moments with the people they cared about

[kingsleycy]

It's depressing to know that Maine's death gave David tremendous survivor guilt and destroyed his ability to live for himself.

[itsjustme]

Maine spent his whole life pushing his body beyond his own limits, when that wasn't enough, he chromed himself out so he could finally push his limits beyond human capabilities. But not matter how much physical strength he had, his mind was just as fragile and ultimately suffered a horrifying fate many people fear when they mix their bodies with augmentations: cyberpsychosis.

I also love how edgerunners showed you first-hand how terryfying cyberpsychosis is from a first-person point of view. we've seen how dangerous it is but to see it from a first-person perspective shows just how it's a fate worse than death. Madness from your abilities is always a gamble.

More people should talk about David's expression at 1:45, there's just something so poetic about it and how his eyes were looking around as if he's trying distract himself from reality. His face just engraves the episode as it cuts to the ending credits is so wild.

[unbiasedcritic]

This show did max-tac justice. You know they are powerful in the game even though you never really see them but in the show they are straight up terrifying lol

[nesqux]

1:00 love that symbolism. Maine standing at the end of the road watching as David runs forward. He runs to the future which Maine isn't destined to reach

[fegelxx]

@0:26 when Maine looks at David, his eyes are unfocused, making the image really haunting. Maine is looking straight at David, but not really able to see him, only a mirage in the delirium of his cyberpsychosis

[DarkDiDi]

0:42 The goosebumps I'm having after seeing David's facial & hearing the drums...
I have no word. This anime is GOD tier.

[tatomenga]

I absolutely love those small shots after Maine's body dissapears, where you see his past self standing at the end of the line, unable to keep going, while David goes beyond it, running in desperation without looking back. Maine pushed himself to a point where he couldn't keep going anymore, being left behind, and unfortunately, it led David onto a similar path

Wydech / Ugory - Zurawie

Leaving the song name for yall <3
What a beast of a scene and episode overall...

[apanst]

Absolutely amazing. This is the kind of 80s/90s OVA level energy i didn't think anime had anymore

[Pengd]

I think the reason David reacts this way towards Maine's death and not his mom's is because he'd already used up all of his strength to hide that pain. He found shelter in Maine, perhaps seeing him as another parental figure, and once he loses him as well even after trying to do everything possible to prevent it, he essentially experiences both the pain of his mother's loss as well as Maine's. He can't hide from the pain any longer so he finally explodes.

[Dioshiroupn]

God that scene before the full explosion went off is gonna stick with me for a long time.

Something so distant about Maine being there all alone in the foreground mixed with the music is haunting af, almost like he watched a friend run away.

[Vybnn]

This entire episode has such beautiful direction and stellar presentation. I was not expecting this anime to be this good but they really nailed it. As a fan of the game, I'm very satisfied with this anime. I'd rate it a solid 8.

[Denny_Boi]

Props to the team for using black metal in such an emotional way.

[Tywil]

Its been a long time since a animated show scene got a emotional kick out of me. I really wanted David to save him but Maine knew his time was up. Maine would have been proud of David for rising up and surpassing him as a merc.


Also this show does a good job at showing how terrifying it is to go up aginst a cyberpsycho without MaxTac gear they are unstoppable. Maine was already a tank with his implants if he had gotten Sandy he probably would have snapped quicker and would have been nearly unstoppable

[Sam-vzpm]

Man this moment really was a gut punch, two of my favs died back to back. Loved the whole end of the road symbolism for Maine tho.

[Moscoviumdraws]

I love this scene, in addition I love the Lucy scene as well. The saddened despair as she begs for David to pick up, while the ringtone plays in a way as if that sound would be etched in her mind (literally and metaphorically)
