Arasaka is one of the most important mega-corporations in the story of Cyberpunk and is set to play a major role in the upcoming video game. Learn everything you need to know about the Japanese company that secretly wants to rule the world.
00:00 - Intro
00:40 - The Founding of Arasaka
01:31 - Saburo Arasaka
04:12 - The Fourth Corporate War
06:31 - The Arasaka Family Rivalry
08:24 - The Rebuilding of an Empire
09:34 - Arasaka's Role in 2077
If you're looking forward to the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 then you'll want to know about one of the franchise's biggest players, the megacorp Arasaka. The Japanese corporation has played a pivotal part in some of the most important stories in the world of Cyberpunk, and CD Projekt Red's game is no exception. In fact the game is looking like it's going to tackle a few characters and plotlines the pen-and-paper game has been building for decades.
In this video you'll learn everything you need to know about Arasaka. What started as a simple manufacturing company became a far more nefarious entity under the leadership of Saburo Arasaka, who secretly plots for world domination. They've shaped the world of Cyberpunk in many ways, including their role in the devastating Fourth Corporate War and detonation of a nuclear device in Night City.
We have several more videos that deep dive into the locations and legends of the world of Cyberpunk, including a history of Night City and the rise and disappearance of Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand. Make sure to come back every week for a new video on the Cyberpunk universe, and for all the latest news and details on Cyberpunk 2077, check out GameSpot.com.

    There’s a good textbook called Archaeologies of the Future by Fredric Jameson. It beyond thoroughly explains futurist and how we discuss aspects of the future. Not that you’re wondering, but he literally wrote the book on how we talk about the future from an intelligent perspective.

    The history of Arasaka up to the end of world war two is essentially the history of Mitsubishi, and it's noticable that the Arasaka (three circular leaves on a stem) logo is remarkably similar to the Mitsubishi (three - 'mitsu' - rhomboid leaves of the Water Caltrop - 'bishi' plant) logo.

    "We are already living in a cyberpunk world' is one of the most misused phrases I've heard that's being handed around this year pretty commonly. We were always, and I repeat, always living in a cyberpunk world. It was never about the future or predicting the future, it was about the present. In fact, I'd go as far as saying most stories taking place in the future are about their respective "now". How could a writer/creator ever predict the future? they only write about what they see now. Which is why most people get it wrong. As William Gibson says, "The future is already here, it's just not very evenly distributed". Cyberpunk 2077 is gonna be fucking awesome. Can't wait. Fuck Arasaka, by the way...

    "How could a writer/creator ever predict the future?" They're not predicting. They're taking elements from the present and extrapolating that to a possible future. Science fiction writers have been doing this for a long, long time. Elements of the present are necessarily used because humans and their nature don't fundamentally change.
