The ending of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was so clear and yet so ambiguous at the same time. So many people have found it hard to believe David died, while so many people have found it hard to believe David is actually alive… In this short video, I’ll break down everything we know about David’s death at the end of cyberpunk edgerunners and what we can expect from season 2.
The fact that you can order the david martinez in cyberpunk 2077 leads some to believe that David is confirmed dead but that is not the case. Who could’ve confirmed his death when Falco and Lucy fled before seeing him actually die? Falco’s conversation in 2077 and finding David’s jacket are also used as justification but are just as ambiguous as the drink in The Afterlife.
So what are the possibilities for edgerunners season 2? Well, the story could: follow an entirely new crew, show Adam Smasher’s backstory, have David become the next smasher, cover the time skip in ep 7, dive into Katsuo’s story, mirror the story of johnny silverhands, and many other fan theories covered in this video!

06.05.2023a season 2 portraying V (Corpo) as the main character would be dope, all the allies like Jackie and Vik, and the journey to "The Devil" ending as V is dying through the process of avenging Saburo in an intense fight between V and Yorinobu, eventually bloody and beaten V uses his/her last breaths to sit on the edge of Arasaka Tower and watch the sun rise in night city.

06.05.2023Yes we all know that the crew sent decoy clones of Rebecca and David and the ones that died were clones and the real David and Rebecca survived and at the end went on the moon to live with Lucy. That's the facts don't argue.

06.05.2023Prove to me that rebeca alive……. 😭😭😭😭

06.05.2023Adam shot Silverhand with the same gun and silverhand survived to then be carried to Suburo and be fully conscious and in what seems liked decent health. It’s very possible that David would survive this as well. He might have even been uploaded like Silverhand.

Tom Trval
06.05.2023Crazy idea Adam Smasher dies from cyber-ware rejection. David is wiped out and Adam personality is grafted as chip extension to wiped out David's brain.
So David practically became's Adam Smasher and everyone who just played Cyberpunk again to kill him gets unrecoverable ethical punch to face.
Koolyeo
06.05.2023ADAM SANDLER LOL
Dynamo Jones
06.05.2023Dude you called adam smasher adam sandler hahahaha now i’ll picture a live action adam smasher played by adam sandler lol
Angel m sanchez
06.05.2023The show is literally a tragedy, all the characters that died are actually dead
Blanc Neige
05.05.2023I wanted a sequel. Then I realized how much wrong they could do like seen with the The Last of Us 2.
David needs to stay dead. He can be "David Silverhand" or be in Lucy's flashbacks, but never truly alive. (This is what Trigger does a lot in their other anime anyway.)
If anything, if a season 3 comes to frutition, then and only then should he return for a small climatic scene.
Reviving dead main characters or having them escape sure death just cheapens everything on from that point.
They can do a Brotherhood on this if they want to keep David but also add more to the existing series without retcons.

05.05.2023I do understand the need for epic amounts of copium, I really do, but cyberpunk as a genre is supposed to be dystopian. There are no happy endings in a dystopia
Los Zelda
05.05.2023Screw David Bring Rebecca Back 🤣 she was so badass !!!
Jack William
05.05.2023Maybe, instead of him being killed on screen, it simply wasn’t shown to dull the pain of the viewers
Hans
05.05.20230:21 did he just say Adam Sandler? xD
SwordSaintPat
05.05.2023He got his lid knocked loose wym
Karla Vargas
05.05.2023David being a test subject is very credible. Arasaka has more profit on it than straight flatline him. I strongly think Adam Smasher was a subject to Arasaka and that’s why he is what he is. Don’t nobody see weird he sides only with Arasaka and at the end of cyberpunk 2077 we see how tests on V make him straight loose it, and those were not even hardcore tests. Considering Yorinobu had Adam Smasher as bodyguard and he wanted war inside of Arasaka is it that crazy he saw the potential on David and wanted to take him? Consider David’s events happened 1 year prior Cyberpunk 2077, meaning the whole construct thing may have been a proyect they could have used David on. Now I doubt Season 2 will be on this because that would take place after V or perhaps at same time. On Cyberpunk we contacted Falco who stays as incognito and doesn’t want anything to do with NC anymore, he gives away David Jacket as a memento, no mention of Lucy whatsoever meaning she either left for good NC business for that year time or forever, I mean what good could come by returning unless she taking place and advantage of V raid to Arasaka Tower which would put her to too much risk to Alt Hacking.

05.05.2023I do think season 2 will be a different story. But if it not they could totally bring this kid back. I would love that.
Random Commenter
05.05.20231 of 2 things happened, either he really is dead but Arasaka uploaded him as a construct or he's alive and being experimented on.
This comment was made before watching the video, both my predictions were mentioned.
ClaryS Show
05.05.2023I want them to freaking capitalize on this show but man, we need a season 2 with good story along side the story of the game. I love the lore of night city and I am totally invested on the game now to understand more of this lore behind
ClaryS Show
04.05.2023Imagine, David is actually the consciousness of something far more intelligent and was the first to revolutionize the technology in night city.But he was killed and right before that, he uploaded his consciousness in the old net in hope of someone to restore it but he was so far ahead of his time. So edgerunners were there for this job so that they could destroy the nightcity's corruption and take down the technology that started the corruption so there's those people like arasaka who wants to destroy the old David from the net. But, lucy and her secret crew were successful in restoring back David, but at the very last, she failed to do so properly. That explains why David has the endurance of such tech in his body but eventually his lack of proper restoration, he failed. And, now Lucy will try to again restore David properly and the story continues

blue is playing vr occasionaly
04.05.2023Why does he keep saying Adam Sandler☠️
Spencer
04.05.2023This show brought maximum emotional damage. It felt almost too short. And damn why they have to do Becca dirty like that.
Inkclear
04.05.2023I wanna play as Adam Sandler…
Not-so_lost-but_still-lost__human
04.05.2023I feel like with talk of a DLC maybe the plot line will be we learn that David is alive and we team up with Lucy and falco yes that is me trying to cope
notsae66
04.05.2023If they do make a season two, I hope it just follows Adam Smasher just absolutely clowning on people like the glorious maniac he is. Just absolutely grind some salt and broken glass in the wound, make David's doom the protagonist of Season Two and have it focus on him crushing hopeful young upstarts over and over.
iralas
04.05.2023He’s dead. V asks, no one is even in the crew anymore. Coulda been a lie, but he was basically a stump, with lots of problems.

03.05.2023Legends are only made after their death

David Kordesh
03.05.2023His face exploded. Everyone can stop. An artful face explosion is a still a face explosion.
Mad Max
03.05.2023Bros in denial 😭😭(I am too)
Revan
03.05.2023Months later but its probable that David is dead and cd projekt red has closed off the anime. However, it would make sense for Arasaka to replicate David's mind, if they tested it on Jackie, it makes sense to do it to David for cyberpsychosis research
Bananaflebo
03.05.2023Ma boy…Edgerunner was Cool…but not the best succes of studio trigger
Tazin-Kun
03.05.2023It’s either still a braindance trap or perhaps david managed to survive somehow cuz even i dont believe he’s dead yet
Chris R.
