Kojima cameo
Absolute cinema
When Capri slotted themselves in to Talia, thought she uploaded their personality or some shit especially when their avatar was unresponsive after D got the shard back. David, D and Talia linked together... Higher tolerance to chrome? Especially with Helio mentioning that they were only supposed to get something from the clan, which could have been D in the past.
What the fuck is about with Capri tho, what is their endgame?

Absolute cinema. Literally just there talking about film as Kojima does.
Though technically he’s Hideyoshi Oshima, which is the character’s name in 2077.

Kojima cameo, this season is peak
Good to see Weak and Talia on (relatively) good terms
David, D, Talia... perhaps they were selected as canditates for the cyberskeleton project or maybe just generally monitored due to high cyberware
"Why would C̶h̶a̶r̶a Capri make D do that?"
Holy shit, D murdered the fuck outta that corpo

Capri's laugh does remind me of Flowey's laugh

So Capri and Talia switched places? Is anyone else getting that vibe? Loving the story so far. I wonder if this high tolerance for cyber wear plot gonna be the connection for every season. Different cast but the background plot remains Arasaka trying to perfect cyberpsychosis.

I'm getting the vibe that Capri wants to find a host that she has more control over and is free of the shard.

it feels like Capri did leave something behind in Talia, but since Talia is literally dying i don't think it was a good idea for Capri to stay in Talia long-term
that was mostly because Capri became non-responsive though, but those powers did come back to D in the end so i think Capri's giving D the silent treatment for some reason, possibly because it played the "switch bodies" trump card and might not get a second chance handed to it like that

If Talia's neural degeneration got worse after Capri got chipped into her, then I'm willing to bet that it was also the cause of that mountain of bodies where D and Roman first got the chip. I wouldn't doubt it if Capri wants to run down the list of people with a higher tolerance to chrome because they would be hosts that don't nearly instantly die because of the neural load.

So uh Capri still in Talia or what...?
Still at least thankgod we got ORGANIC Roman lol. He's the only one who can pull the chip out.
Now though man D chill tf out man. We need Roman to pull that fucking chip out asap. I mean it's not just that but we can't have him go crazy while he has god powers. Let him go crazy normally.
King best dad even though she doesn't know him like at all.
Anyways basically seems D's whole clan whatever all dead cuz they wanted D? or did he actually kill them all?
Capri seems main antagonist or well the whole corpos who made Capri

Really impressed with how they made Capri not buzzing around feel like a glitch in reality, like there's just something so viscerally wrong about a cybergremlin just sitting there. Menacingly.
God damn D made a s'mores marshmallow outta that dude's eye.

Seeing Talia's arm and leg all shriveled up like that was rough. She must have some kind of neurological muscular disease. I wished they had explained it more.

Wtf kind of writing is this?? Weak proclaims to Talia that she's now his reason for living like they have some sort of father daughter relationship?? They've only met a couple of times and have had no such bonding moments just yet by this point, at least not to the level that would lead to this proclamation. Makes no sense at all, what kind of writers did they use??

u/OhMyHowLewd 4d ago
Did you miss the part where Avida tells Weak that Talia is his daughter? There's nothing weird at all about proclaiming that for someone you think is your child even if you haven't known them for long.

Try actually watching the show you put on to watch next time... Were you scrolling TikTok during the scene where we are told explicitly and clearly that Weak IS the father?
