i love the fact they used the black box expanding in his inner world and the call back to his flashback where he reached the end of the road. Him running even before gives so much insight into his character and his dream, being represented by him being organic and Not being able to Push as far as He wanted at the time and to strive for better, partially caused by his environment, He did do it to himself to be fair. While knowing subconsciously that he wont reach any further or on a meta-level that he will die soon. ( he knows and is ready for the fact that he will bite the dust eventually). Connecting this to a possible Event in Maines earlier life is Just perfect, connecting him to David Not just trough His naviete, but also the fact it connects to the theme of running. This very much makes him a foil and father-figure for David at the same time, showing what his dream gets you in Night City and foreshadowing Davids own march into insanity just like Maine. Running is what Maine used to do, but now He cant anymore, so David carries on in His stead. And in a quick cut they show David running further on the road that symbolically has yet to be paved.

Something a lot of people seemed to miss about Maine’s final scene. In his dream, he was able to run for miles and miles to the end of the road. But he never was able to pass it. That was the end for him. But when he saw David in his dream, he told him to run, and David ran past that road to continue on where Maine could not pass. And that’s why this scene was so beautiful.

after that episode i fully understood why Johnny wanted to burn the entire city to the ground. The game's troubles always felt self contained, gang members, nomads, all of them always had an agency, and the cyberpsychos always felt like just mini bosses rather than mad people. But this episode genuinely makes you realise that the city has no care for how good of a person you are, it'll feed on the cycle of trauma and carnage you'll leave, maine death pushed david to be the best, and david in turn will make a legend to inspire the next generation like Doc said. A city where "everyone betrays you in the end" and the richest are always the most murderous, one that won't fix cyberpsychosis because it'd cost "too much" in research to multi billion companies. It makes me feel like the screams at the end could literally just be that of the people lost to the meat grinder, rather than demons, Maine sure as hell joined them in that fate, so did everyone good in this place.

"I'm tripping balls right now David" -maine probably

The way Maine tells David to “Just keep running” is so heartbreaking to me. ‘Running’ was a symptom of Maine’s trauma, his deepest pain. It’s what met him as he slipped into insanity, the core of his ‘self’. To see him pass this trauma on to David after telling him he can’t do it is tragic in every sense of the word. The second he did that, I understood that David would end up just like Maine one day. It’s the curse of cyberpunk. Nobody lives long, and everyone dies bad.

Interesting interpretation. The way I saw it was that running was a past passion of Maine's and while slipping in and out of cyberpsychosis his brain was searching for something familiar from his past to try to latch on to. The corruption popping up in that precious core memory of his symbolized that he really was past the point of no return. Maine kept running in the flashback but we never saw him cross the finish line since he had reached the end of the road. That's why david kept running past the road's end, to take up and accomplish another person's dream, just like with his mom and just like with Lucy.

I thought the running was supposed to be maine trying to push his physical limits, but was only able to go so far before reaching a point he couldn't pass without cybernetic enhancements. When david keeps running past that point, he's basically taking the road beyond the human limit, a road leading to cyberpsychosis

That shot was terrifying af holly sht

What an excellent synth sound and progression, and the scene itself is better than many psych rock music videos that inspired it. David's fear and screaming against the sealed fate of MaxTac coming, to take Maine's arm with him. Maine's moment of clarity is heart wrenching. The flash between the propane tanks and wood for Dorio, that it is not the chrome which causes the cyberpsychosis. It is the desire to return to nature even though our surroundings have turned to concrete and chrome. Maine's arc is the loss of a father so close to current reality. What an impressive piece of art.

This song was literally perfect for the scene.

The game actually portrays it as people going insane for unrelated reasons, just happening to have fucked up amounts of chrome. The cyberpsychoes are like, horrendously overworked and underpaid construction workers, soldiers with PTSD, stuff like that. People at the end of their ropes, who just lose it. In that sense cyberpsychosis isn't even a real diagnosis in the game, it's just what the authorities write it up as when someone goes fucking crazy due to how awful night city is.

“Another tale for the next dreamer”

The thing that emptied me after watching this episode was how Maine changed so much due to a single event. He went cyberpsycho and started murdering everyone,except Dorio. A sign that,even in his madness without control,he still knew who Dorio was. Then,Dorio got killed. And there,Maine snapped again. He was still violent,but now he was lucid. He knew that he was going to die alone, without the love of his life. He knew his ending was near,he knew everything. That's why he acted so calmly with David,acted like a father to him and told him to "keep running", that's why he did that last thing for Dorio. That's why he died with a "smile" and a calm face. His circle was now closed,the reason of why we were witnessing his past before his death. Maine left an unprecedented void in everyone: in David and in us fans. May his death be remembered

Maine’s death was actually the only time I cried watching the show

*"Just keep running."* _"Never stop fighting"_

Probably one of the best anime characters ever created. Cyberpunk Edgerruners truly suceed my expectations. "Keep running"

I love how even when Maine was losing all his care and emotions towards his friends he found the last bit to give to David before ending it

When Maine told David to 'Keep Running'. I can't be the only one think of the moment when Johnny Silverhand told V to 'Never Stop Fighting' right ?

This show was made for you Zoomers. Don’t let it go to waste. Fight the corpos. Fight the military industrial complex. Don’t let them use their rhetoric to control you. You can change the world if you band together, left and right, for a better tomorrow. The division between you is nothing but a creation of the bankers trying to save themselves last time they created the future we’re seeing again today. Cast off your differences. Fascists, communists, you’re really not that different. Fight materialism. Fight the banks that rule over us. Find common ground. And end the slave state we live in today, so we don’t live in the even worse future of tomorrow

Best song on the soundtrack.

I watched the anime in one sitting like 4 days ago and in at least like 3 of those days including today ive watched his death scene like from the part where dorio gets shot to the point where david is back in the car, just because the imagery is amazing, emotions run strong in this scene dorio died and david is just scared because its the first time hes been told he cant do it by somone who he looked up to. its a very depressing scene

Just saw a man fall to his knees in a Walmart

“No more runnin for me dawg. Reapers finally calling my name.”

that scene is something on aot level

both edgerunners and 2077 used music convey emotion incredibly well

The entire show holds some powerful references to Akira and Bebop. The psychedelic trail of the Sandy is extremely reminiscent of Tetsuo’s psychic powers activating for the first time. The dissonant love between the Edgerunners crew parodies the feelings of the Bebop crew, knowing Spike is leaving to face Vicious. “I’m not going there to die. I’m going to find out if I’m really alive.” See you, space choom.
