We all hope in some way that Rebecca is Alive in Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Ofc there are theories floating around but I would like to back them up via info from the source books. Enjoy choombas
It can even be less complicated. In the RED sourcebook, it says that the meat wagon can bring you back to full life after as much as 5 minutes full brain death. Now, if you go back and look at our poor girl lying there, you'll notice that her eyesocket has an explosion pattern, not a penetration pattern. Next, when Smasher hits her, it is barrel to barrel, which means if he fired down her barrel, it would cause a breach back the firing chamber, which was at her abdomen. I think, in this theory, that the goopy bits behind her body are intestines, not brains, and the head wound was from her cybereye exploding out of her head from impact. Is she boned REALLY BAD there? Oh yeah. Would the premier punk crew in the city at the time have trauma contracts? Oh yeah. Trauma Team surely wouldn't go onto Arasaka grounds, but the basement of the middle of the entire corpo plaza? Maybe, yeah. Their HQ is right there in downtown.Is this what the show intended as a takeaway? Heck no. The possibility according to the source material is very real, though.
1) Half of Rebecca's head was blown off, her brain is too damaged to convert to a complete engram. Relic would only ever be able to get bits and pieces. Since it is the right hemisphere of the brain that was destroyed, she would have no visual memories and wouldn't be able to recognize anyone or anything she had seen. The left hemisphere, which is still intact contains verbal memories, so the engrram would be able to remember things she had heard. 2) They have already said there will be NO Edgerunners season 2. They do plan for additional content in the world, possibly a live action TV series, comics, novels, etc. But Edgerunners is done and they have no intention of bringing the characters back. 3) Adam Smasher was blown up, yes. However his brain was intact and transferred into a container that is moved between his various cyber bodies depending on what situation he is going into. The only one we see in the game and anime are Dragoon combat models, but he does have at least one socializing body (A Gemini that looks like a blonde Elvis Presley) that he used while dating Michiko Arasaka.
Rebecca died. She is gone. She went out how she had to go out, just like all the others. As much as I loved her as a character, she had the perfect ending for a character in a cyberpunk series. She went out in a blaze of glory, and that's the best you can hope for in Night City.
We all saw Rebecca's mutilated body so can you please stop making videos where you're sitting here saying that characters are alive when they're clearly not? I'm all for nostalgia sometimes but that's like you pretending that David Martinez's head wasn't splattered on the pavement.
Edgerunners should have been a multiseason story it Moved way to fast and only really established the relationships on a surface level it ended the way a true cyberpunk story should end so I give it credit there
To be actually soulkilled you gotta be contious as Saburo and Jonhny been, Saburo just had a copy that been updated every day, and Jonhny as he said "It's just like someone pulled the plug" means that he's not been put into mikoshi, he been put on the chip, Mikoshi has has truly the not soulkilled souls that you can just replay like Jackie for example.
As much as it hurts my soul and it always will shes gone bro. A good chunk of her brains frontal lobe is missing. She probably would be a vegetable or have impaired motor function and would have to go though extensive and expensive psychiatric and physical therapy. Nobody would have or be willing to have the scratch to pay for that unless she contacted Falco.
Even with that she definitely wouldnt be the same again she'd be hit with crippling depression that her sacrifce was for nothing. David died right after her. Her whole reason for coming on that sucide mission was for him. She only cared about Lucy's well being because she was the only one who could keep david from going full psycho. But he got flatlined minutes after her. She wouldnt have much to live for or have anyone to comfort her except for maybe Falco. Since she barely spoke if ever to lucy before and after Maine died given how cold she is to everyone.
Best case scenario some kind of nano tech saves her she gets stitched together and after grieving she decides to keep edgerunning since its the only profession shes good at or join Faco and go full nomad and lves a more peaceful life surrounded by people who care about her. But thats ways to optimistic given how pessimistic cyberpunk's world is.
Tbh they shou hve hd her survvive because at least David could have died without dragging his friends down with him hr death idnt add anything.
