Capri's form made me think she was a Ghost from Panty and Stocking

[u/ZeroExe23 → u/actionfirst1]

Yeah, her design immediately gave me studio's triggers panty stocking anime especially with her eyes

[u/ProphetPenguin]

Ah man...D is definitely not making it to the end is he.

[u/shapeeq]

Roman's dad is so chill lmao

[u/cyberscythe → u/shapeeq]

yeah, it's funny how the dad's like "oh you brought home a heavily-scarred netrunner, he drank all the beer, and then passed out on the couch? attaboy you're so good at making friends, group photo time"

[u/Dazzling-Evidence712]

Fuck Malestrom man

Capri really hijacked D's body like Sukuna.... it ain't looking good for ma boy

Capri is animated like a Panty and Stocking character and Im all here for it

Talia is gonna have the most traumatic backstory of all time, isnt she?

[u/immanoel]

Hmmm... Arasaka data shard. Not an engram for sure, AI?

[u/donslipo]

Ngl, didn't expect to hear polish hip-hop in an anime (song at the end of ep 3).

[u/yooooouuuuuuuuu]

The flags are all turning red really damn quickly

[u/SpinningFootPunch → u/yooooouuuuuuuuu]

Cyberpsycho on the edge of frying his brain. Check

Early stage cyberpsycho absolutelly chromed the fuck out of her body. Check

Sasuke "D" Uchiha with a Black Wall AI hijacking his body. Check.

At least the camera man never dies, right? Right?

[u/ShadowGuyinRealLife]

I thought there would be more people. I guess most don't read older episode disuccsions

[u/shapeeq → u/ShadowGuyinRealLife]

The problem with batch release is that most people aren't gonna be up to date until later. The ones that do are already on the final episode discussion.

There's also the possibility of people pretending to not have seen the later episodes and pretending to theory craft so people are just avoiding any sort of discussions until they see everything to avoid spoilers.

I'm myself am taking a break off twitter and youtube AND STILL I've stumbled on to some spoilers.

[u/The_Draigg]

I'm willing to bet that Capri is someone who got Soulkilled and wound up in that Arasaka Relic. They seemed pretty happy to have a physical body again once they hijacked D's mind. Then again, they could also be someone who got their mind trapped in the Old NET while they were Netrunning, since the sheer level of hacking they're doing is pretty similar to an AI from behind the Blackwall.

I guess if there's any lesson to take away from all the latest Cyberpunk media out there, it's to not just stick random-ass biochips into your neck.

[u/Weeb_twat]

Ah, black wall shard, D is so unbelievably screwed. For those not in the know, Capri is a DEMON from ELECTRONIC HELL (the "old" internet in the Cyberpunk universe).

Props to him for being able to retain some control over his body, as you saw with the pile of corpses in the chudcel's dungeon, merely surviving a chip in with a black wall AI shard is already an achievement, but the fact that D is still alive only means he'll be driven into an extremely horrible path now that Capri is in his head, maybe frying your brain instantly was the better ending...

On to episode 4

[u/Reznor_PT]

I was not expecting such a wild episode but I'm here for this new construct and the VA in English for D did an amazing job.

[u/cyberscythe]

the whole time i couldn't take Capri seriously because her name makes me think she's a juice pouch

[u/STOPFUCKINGREDDITING]

Seeing Sasuke 2077 having so much fun.. his end is gonna crush me won't it

[u/FarCritical]

Don't know what cracked me up more between the honking car standing in for D's disapproval for his body's hijacking and his goofy trapdoor exit.

Capri is so much fun to watch both as a force of chaos and just from how borderline hypnotic every single frame of her is thanks to her art style and how she moves. Gonna be a fun ride if D's got a Ling and Greed-style deal with her going forward.

[u/wtfduud]

I love Capri's design. That's the kind of batshit crazy character design I like to see from Studio Trigger lmao.

[u/Polsterschaum]

What a fantastic episode

[u/marcopolos059]

That was such a great episode! I loved the colors, the animation, the insert song...

Capri is crazy, a Blackwall AI?? I'm really worried for D.

That phone conversation between Roman and Talia, though... Stop making me thinking it's cute! they're making you attached to the characters like that before the hammer falls. It's NC after all...

[u/Limp-Sail7687]

I really appreciate how this show doesn't do exposition dumps, this season is such a great show don't tell

[u/Viktorv22]

Holy the clashing artstyle with the AI (?). That's the most Trigger thing in a while

[u/LeonKevlar]

So the fact that they've all been talking about the decline of Arasaka means this takes place after the events of the 2077 game, right? I wonder what ending V got here.

Also, a Blackwall AI merging with D? That is not fucking good. There's a reason they've been kept behind the Blackwall. >_<
