The ending of cyberpunk edgerunners delighted us and broke us, all at once. But what would you say if I told you it was all a braindance simulation?

Edgerunners Playlist:
The second half of Edgerunners was a rollarcoaster of an experience, packed with thrilling shootouts and a heartbreaking ending. But what if I told you it was all a simulation? In this short video, I’ll present my case that the second half of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners occurs entirely within JK’s simulation.
Halfway into edgerunners, JK puts David in a custom bd simulation. It brings chills down my spine to think that David is still trapped in this simulation until a potential season 2. The events of the second half of cyberpunk: edgerunners makes for a perfect nightmare; immersive and terrifying. JK’s smile right before his death is foreshadowing, as well as the moon tarot card in the ending credits and various other clues.

07.12.2022Its an intressting theory, but I don't think it is true, because their are a few points that speak against the theory:
First of all the ending is to good for a perfect nightmare, because it is in a way a good ending, David saves Lucy and makes her dream possible. Sure his father figure and his friends die, but his one love doesn't , thats not a nightmare. If it was the perfect nightmare lucy would die because he failed to protect her or he kills her himself.
My second point is that we see the story from other characters and this is different from his nightmares where his experience was only through his own eyes.
Third the second half of the season felt faster and rushed (maybe it would have been better if they had a little more build up ), but I dont think thats because he is dreaming. In my opinion it symbolic for his fast changing live as a cyberpunk, and that the people he meets are less relevant than the people he knew for a long time. For example he is very upset that the new teammate ran into a trap and exploded in front of him.
Also personaly I wouldn't like it if it comes out that everything was a dream and all deaths were meaningless and didnt even happen.

07.12.2022Listen I know you’re heartbroken by Rebecca’s death but there are better ways to cope

07.12.2022I would not mind another 10 episodes, brilliant story and one the best animations I've seen in a long time. No one should decide besides the artist though if it should get more time. A lot of good anime is short and sweet, if we put up to much expectations for more we will get disappointed in our outcome, I like everyone else watching this video are probably looking for more closer (like me), we cant take a good hero dying, not every story should be like Goku. The fact that they didn't show David getting shot does give us a chance that Adam Smasher spared his life, he could be very important in future Corp wars and kind of hard to pass up on someone who can handle the things he did. David was a truly special person especially in NC. Chooms lol

07.12.2022this could be true since jk illusian show that he dies differently so his death might be fake

07.12.2022I hate edgerunners… fuck it, i said it. Proof me wrong.

Rob Macfarlane
04.12.2022Naah man this is raw cope.
The ending with them dying is meant to be a tragic conclusion, and an ending like this would just be pointless plot armour that lowers the stakes.
They're dead, man, deal with it
I have happy insides
04.12.2022Don't lie you guys clicked on the video because you're still coping
Alfredo Rico
04.12.2022ah yes, denial phase
Papa Scorch
04.12.2022David is great, but no one could forgive him for killing that mother
Geronimo11
04.12.2022If the BD is showing him his nightmares, why did Lucy’s dream come true? If it were a nightmare, he would have died along with Lucy.
Furthermore, if the events of the last few episodes didn’t actually happen, he would not have been popular enough to get a drink named after him in the Afterlife
monyet82
04.12.2022Good analysis and theory. But it's just speculation and that does not prove him that he is still in the simulation.
susanoo
04.12.2022Y a pas de théorie à avoir David s est fait exploser par smasher c'est tout lol
Dean Mockett
04.12.2022mmm but he has his own drink in the afterlife which you can only get a drink if you die an amazing and epic death so theory wrong

02.12.2022I want to know what you guys think, If Edgerunners came back with a second season bringing back David, would you feel like it would ruined the series or would you be happy
0Pixelz
02.12.2022I mean in reality this makes more sense Rebecca just died like it was just glossed over and then we proceed to have David “Die” as well just seems so out of touch in the end
Crazy redhead
01.12.2022That be a good start to season 2 Lucy and Maine looking for David and they find him at the end of the episode which would show David being killed by smasher then Lucy waking him up
Berat Mert Gökkaya
01.12.2022Maybe for exploring old network they kept david alive because of lucy is a very good netrunner so they can use him as a bait
(Yes ı still cant believe the ending)

01.12.2022Bro I so hope that this is the case because I was crying at the end

Xtream Gamer
01.12.2022Unfortunately, this is impossible.
You make the point that Falco just appeared out of nowhere, but Falco made an appearance when he and Pilar or whoever were at the club. Granted it was only a few seconds, but he's still there WAY before David is put in a BD

01.12.2022I can believe that Spike Spiegel js alive but this makes no sense.You can not just put the simulation theory in every movie,almost all of them could have been hacked into their cyberbrain/implanted chips.So we can't be sure.
lânchánđời nguyễn
01.12.2022I suppose that the entire show is an simulation,Lucy is also an illusion.Now the movie is worthless.
Dharalho
01.12.2022What people don't understand about this theory is that the entire 1st season of edgerunners was a simulation, but David was rescued after that and became a legend in the night city with this new knowledge and mindset.

01.12.2022First stage of grief: denial.
lil low H
30.11.2022This would make such a great season 2. Imagine David both fearing cyber psychosis and never really knowing if he’s in a simulation

30.11.2022Falco is more similar with Johny Silverhand, He have a ironarm and also loves kiwi. Johny loves famous netrunner too.
VoidNeck
30.11.2022This could be the case yes but David would exit the simulation after he died from adam
Dormaze
30.11.2022Yo if this can mean a Season 2, I'm all for it, even though I thought Edgerunners was already awesome as it is xD
It'd be pretty ballsy to pull the "it was all just a dream" move, however, but I think we'd still be able to enjoy season 1 to its conclusion all the same.
Dylan Argall
30.11.2022The theories wouldn't really matter since the show won't get a season 2
Noriaki Kakyoin
30.11.2022There are some stuff that doesn't add up at the Falco part. Him having David's Jacket. And also Falco was introduced before but in some fast clips which he was visibly seen in around episode 3-4 of the anime.
Albert Bazevic
30.11.2022why are you giving them idea for next season and even worse ending…
PrimedMonkey
30.11.2022the only problem with every one of these, "David is in a BD", theories is they dont take into consideration the universe beyond the show. We know David was known by many in the world of edge running due to lines in the game, and that wouldnt have been possible if he just disappeared before starting his own crew. We know Falco was involved because you call him and he doesnt wish to talk about David, again, not possible if he was only in the BD. David has his own drink at the Afterlife, proving he was a well know crew runner, who died in a job, and has become a "Legend". That is something they wouldnt have done for some minor person in part of a crew. So while your theory is interesting, I do believe it is highly flawed.
