Is this mangaka crazy?

Kenji Tanaka opened the manga and went straight to the last episode of "Edgerunners".

Episode 38... "The Last Moon Tour".

What does the title of this last episode mean? 'Moon Tour... Are David and Lucy still alive and on the Moon?' 'Or is it just their fantasy before dying?' However, these thoughts flashed through Kenji Tanaka's mind for an instant, and he didn't get too entangled.

He continued watching the plot of the final episode of "Edgerunners".

The previous episode's plot was that David took Rebecca and Falco to the streets of Night City and caused a commotion, preparing to go to Arasaka Tower to rescue Lucy.

This episode followed the previous plot.

However, the first thing to arrive was Kiko's final scene.

After finishing everything, Faraday took Lucy to Arasaka Tower.

Kiko felt guilty for Lucy and David and no longer wanted to cooperate with Faraday.

"I will no longer accept your tasks," Kiko said.

But at that moment...

"Bang!"

Kiko looked at the bullet hole in her chest in disbelief.

Faraday had shot her.

And since he was behind one of his men when he fired, Kiko had no time to react.

The man's chest was completely deformed, revealing only Faraday's prosthetic, which held a gun.

'It seems that this man's prosthetic was modified from the beginning to allow him to shoot from behind!' This shows how cunning and wicked Faraday is.

After all, in Night City, you can't be an intermediary if you're not profit-driven and perverse.

Faraday... is one of the best! To Kiko's stunned gaze, Faraday seemed to laugh at her naivety and said: "I understand, but the agreement clearly stipulates that anyone who knows about the King Kong prosthetic will be executed."

"No exceptions, you are included, I'm sorry."

Although he said so, seeing how he stood behind the man who had just undergone a special prosthetic modification,

he seemed ready to shoot Kiko at any moment, and it was definitely not Kiko's words that suddenly made him decide.

But at that moment, Kiko, as a cyberhacker, also reacted.

After the attack that interfered with Faraday's nervous system, she fled! "Quick, catch her, don't let her escape!"

Faraday, of course, was unwilling to let Kiko go so easily and ordered his men to chase and kill her.

He took Lucy and flew directly to Arasaka Tower in a hovercraft.

David, Rebecca, and Falco had already fought their way to the vicinity of Arasaka Tower.

The private police sent by Arasaka were completely useless and were directly annihilated by Rebecca, Falco, and the powerful ability of David's prosthetic Cyborg.

At that moment, the two high-ranking officials of Arasaka Corporation's counter-intelligence department finally panicked.

Under David's pressure, they decided to summon Arasaka Corporation's most powerful assassin: Adam Smasher.

"But even if we summon him now..."

"Don't worry, he's here."

On the other side of the screen, a tall, black giant with a modified body was seen sitting on the sofa.

His whole body was a black prosthetic, and only half of his face still looked human.

But that half of a human face makes people doubt that it's not his original face.

The mere appearance of Adam Smasher, even before he said a word, can make Kenji Tanaka and other manga fans feel suffocating pressure.

This pressure... is undoubtedly the true boss of "Edgerunners"! "I heard that Cyborg was originally designed for him, so it's good to let him escape now."

'Cyborg... is it specially designed for Adam Smasher?'

Kenji Tanaka was surprised, but... 'even if it had been designed for him, it might not be stronger than David, who is now equipped with Cyborg, right?' 'Although David's ending is destined to be tragic, he should be able to make a big fuss at Arasaka and even defeat that supposed Adam Smasher.'

But in the end, David should become a cyberpsycho and die.

On the other hand, David, equipped with "Cyborg", has become increasingly cyberpsychotic.

He has a revolving lantern-like hallucination in front of him, and Tanaka, the rich second-generation classmate who bullied him, appears in front of him.

However, the reality is that Arasaka's mobile force and the mobile terrorist team have him surrounded.

But in the eyes of David, who was sick, he was facing Tanaka, who attacked him, and he instantly rioted! The

time-stopping ability of Sandevistan activated! Sandevistan cooperated with the Cyborg and annihilated Arasaka's mobile force in a single encounter.

Then, the illusion of his older brother Maine appeared again in front of David.

He seemed to have returned to the night he regretted not fighting alongside Maine to the end. This time he didn't choose to flee...

"Go with the Terrorist Squad! Let them come!"

The powerful Terrorist Squad also died at the hands of the mad David.

After that came... Mom Gloria, the ruthless words of the Trauma Team in the accident involving an innocent person, and David's helplessness at that moment...

"Mom!"

The hallucination turned David completely violent, and he directly knocked down several hovercrafts of the Terrorist Squad!

"Damn it! Is he a monster?"

"Keep firing!"

"Wait... There's Arasaka's final order, code name AS, retreat!"

...

The Terrorist Squad retreated directly following Arasaka's final order.

David returned to the car where Rebecca and Falco were, and used Sandevistan and Cyborg at full power. David couldn't hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, Rebecca directly gave David a dose of immunosuppressant.

"Rebecca... how many vials of medicine are left?" David asked.

"This is the last vial."

Rebecca looked at David worriedly and said.

"Has that moment finally arrived?"

At that moment, David was no longer afraid, but excited.

But at that moment...

Kiko called her... She was going to be killed.

But in the end, perhaps due to guilt, or perhaps because she was unwilling to be betrayed by Faraday.

"I sent you the tracking signal installed on Faraday's hovercraft."

Kiko sat in the dumpster in the street, facing Faraday's chasing men, still very calm.

"That way you can see where Faraday is."

"Do you think we'll still believe you?" Falco replied in a deep voice.

"I don't know, my decision today was completely wrong."

Kiko laughed at herself: "Perhaps that moment will always come...".

Fortunately, she had always taught Lucy not to trust anyone in Night City.

As a result, she herself forgot this teaching and chose to believe a bastard like Faraday.

"I taught Lucy not to trust anyone in Night City. That's not lying to her. Everyone here will betray you."

Kiko said with a smile: "But now it's Faraday's turn to bear the pain of being betrayed."

Finally, amidst the gunshots of Faraday's men, she uttered her last words: "Go save Lucy."

The cyberhacker Kiko died.

Kenji Tanaka felt a little uncomfortable seeing this.

Before Kiko betrayed David and Lucy, she was a member of the protagonist group and quite popular,

especially since she was half of Lucy's teacher.

But later she decided to betray Lucy, which exceeded all expectations and caused everyone to start hating her.

However, if you think about it, Kiko is right to do it to survive in a place like Night City.

But no matter what, she is still the traitor who betrayed David and Lucy, and David will never forgive her.

Just when everyone thought Kiko, the traitor, would die at the hands of David, equipped with a "Cyborg".

But Faraday betrayed her dramatically, and she died miserably in the street under the gunshots of his men.

And before she died, she helped David and Rebecca, and sent the tracking signal installed on Faraday's hovercraft to Falco.

I can only say that it is truly regrettable, hateful, and sad...
