Is this mangaka crazy?

After watching the latest episode of "Edgerunners", Yusuke Sato didn't understand what Ren Amamiya was thinking.

Maine is currently the third most popular character in "Edgerunners".

Does Ren Amamiya really intend to give Maine a 'knife' just like he did to Gloria and Kiwi before? In fact, the previous deaths were not that serious.

After all, whether it was Gloria, David's mother, or Kiwi, the team's technical expert,

they didn't have many scenes or descriptions.

So, naturally, manga fans didn't feel too much affection for Gloria and Kiwi.

The death of such a character can only be considered very unexpected and won't make people too sad.

But Maine is different now.

It can be said that he appeared at the end of episode seven, and up to episode 21, he has always had dense scenes and descriptions.

From the beginning, because of Gloria, David's mother, he decided to give him the opportunity to join the team.

Later, when David was in danger during the mission, he directly helped.

Furthermore, when David joined the team and grew stronger, he acted as his good brother and confidant.

In various crises, he protected his companions with a mature and reliable image.

In these twelve episodes, Maine fully demonstrated his charm as an excellent teammate.

He is not only capable, experienced, and seasoned, but also extremely human and protective of his companions.

All of them are very charismatic.

After all, this happens in Night City, a cybernetic purgatory that devours people without spitting out bones.

If it were other edgerunners, they definitely wouldn't talk about humanity.

For example, if they knew that David had installed Sandevistan, if it were other Edgerunners. It's about their own interests, let alone an old friend's son.

Even their companions would probably dismantle the person and then wear the dismantled prosthetic themselves.

Precisely because the Night City of "Edgerunners" is too cruel, Maine's humanity and his character of valuing his companions have won the affection of so many manga fans.

As for Rebecca, who was very popular in his previous life, there are not many scenes or plot descriptions in the serialization.

In the original animation, Rebecca had more scenes and plots when David led the team.

So Maine's popularity is only surpassed by David and Lucy.

But now, you say such a popular character is going to be killed? This is equivalent to saying that Zoro in "One Piece" and Kakashi in "Naruto" in his previous life were killed.

But...

Yusuke Sato is not sure if Ren Amamiya really intends to kill Maine, a popular character. What if this plot is just a conflict between Maine and David, but it's resolved later? But, referring to the previous plot of "Edgerunners" that suddenly killed Gloria and Kiwi...

Yusuke Sato is not sure.

It can only be said that the author of "Edgerunners", Silverhand, has a way of thinking that ordinary people cannot imagine.

However, Yusuke Sato is not sure if Ren Amamiya will kill Maine, but the current plot of "Edgerunners" is very similar.

Although it has not been confirmed, manga fans do not need to confirm it.

For example, Fan Siwei, who is still on summer vacation, was stunned after reading the latest episode of "Edgerunners".

"No way?" Fan Siwei asked in disbelief. "Will Maine become a cyberpsycho?"

He suddenly remembered that after Pira's death, Maine and others started a battle against the homeless cyberpsycho.

Maine's gun-arm prosthetic malfunctioned and lost control.

When he saw this plot before, no one paid much attention to it.

He thought it was just a problem with Maine's prosthetic.

But, combining it with this episode's plot, it turned out it wasn't a temporary problem.

It was premeditated!

Maine had already shown the symptoms of what's called "cyber-neurosis" at that time.

As a result, the gun prosthetic malfunctioned.

"How could it be... like this?"

Fan Siwei felt very uncomfortable.

He is a veteran manga fan who has been following "Edgerunners" for almost a year.

Over time, he has fallen in love with "Edgerunners" and its characters.

Needless to say, the protagonists, David and Lucy, are very popular.

As for Maine, the older brother, all fans put themselves in David's perspective.

Like David, they feel the care that Maine has shown them at all times.

His maturity, his reliability, his nonchalance, his encouragement...

All of this is very much loved by fans.

He may not be a good person, but he is undoubtedly a good older brother.

Even if he dies, he shouldn't become a cyberpsycho.

Fan Siwei would rather Maine die protecting David.

That's why you told everyone that Maine would become a cyberpsycho.

And everyone knows that in the context of "Edgerunners", cyberpsychos are destined to die.

And dying as a cyberpsycho is the most unacceptable ending.

"No, I can't accept it. How can Maine die here?"

Fan Siwei quickly turned on his computer.

He wanted to log in to Akatsuki Cultural Company's official website to protest against Maine's possible fate. There's still a chance.

If the protest is strong, even the manga author will have to consider modifying the plot, right?

And isn't it said that mangakas usually draw the manuscript of the week?

Perhaps the protest can save Maine from death?

Soon, he logged in to Akatsuki Cultural Company's official website and issued his own protest.

"Maine should not die as ugly as a cyberpsycho. Even if he dies, he should die to protect David."

At that moment, not only Fan Siwei, but also other manga fans on the official "Edgerunners" forum were protesting.

"Seriously? A man like Maine will become a cyberpsycho? I disagree."

"If the older brother really died like that, Edgerunners will be blacklisted for life."

"You're truly crazy. Suddenly, you arranged the plot like that. You just want to do something. Are you crazy?"

"Hey, hey, hey, author, you won't draw the male protagonist as a cyberpsycho in the end, will you?"

"Aren't you really, as your name suggests, a madman who escaped from Aoyama Psychiatric Hospital?"

For a while, both the official forum and the unofficial interest forum were filled with discontent about the latest plot of Edgerunners.

In fact, not only in Japan, Maine's fate in this new plot even...
