Some terrifying and unpleasant stories in addition to descriptions of certain well-known game characters. Criticism, judgments, reflections.

[Fatalist]

I propose creating a unifying theme here to highlight some individual game episodes from the CP storyline, and to analyze and interpret the actions of some key NPCs, which for the most part go unnoticed by players during the game, and are not always reflected in the CP Wiki and other resources, based on actual material from the game.


To start with, a few words about Wakako Okada, the “landlady of Japan Town”:

Everyone knows how the story of the storming of "Kompeki Plaza" ended and what ultimately happened to Evelyn Parker. Many sympathize with Evelyn and consistently hate:
1. The Voodoo Boys who burned the girl's brain because of her betrayal;
2. The Scavengers who locked her in the basement of the power station, tortured her, and recorded her memories for brain dances;
3. Woodman, who raped her;
4. (?) Dr. Fingers, who, according to most, broke her and threw her away like a doll (????)

Few people realize that in the last stage of Evelyn's life, it was the “noble Lady Wako” who wrote her off (i.e., threw her to the garbage collectors) after Fingers, fulfilling his medical duty, honestly had admitted that he did not know how to help her.

Given the objectivity of this fact, and taking into account Wakako's connections with the "Tiger Claws" and her place in the gang's hierarchy, I personally see reason to assume that it is Wakako Okada who is one of the key suppliers of “human material” for the famous Jotaro Shobo in Night City.

I don't think she is. I do not say she never provided any woman to Jotaro, but we know (according to Regina and messages in Jotaro's computer), his main supplier is likely Jae-Hyun Lee a scavs Regina send us to hunt on Kabuki's rooftops afterward - "Gig: Small Man, Big Evil"
But yeah, Wakako is not "nice", she's not V's friend, business come first even for the Tygers

Well, even Takemura is beginning to suspect something: )

Now.
One unpleasant thing about T-Bug.
Some people think that T-Bug is going to like V, so she sends him to Yoko's shop in Kabuki before the heist.
My opinion is that this is not the case. T-Bug not only doesn't care about any of the team members,

but also about V, as she doesn't think much of him. She even intentionally writes his name with a lowercase letter when chatting with Jackie Welles

Yes and he's totally right. Her smiles and her courtesy are just facades. There is a shark with deadly teeth hidden behind. I think her character design, animations and voice actor(s) did a great job to point it out.
I'm sure she's involved into dirty businesses behind the scene, but she's likely not a part of Jotaro human traffic

Some clarifications regarding Jason Forman and Brianna Dolson:
("The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman" gig)

Brianna is not only the leader of the Longshore Stacks, selflessly caring for the unfortunate members of the community, she is also (unfortunately for me) the money holder of their local gang, a kind of bookeeper for the local gang. And Jason Forman is not a fixer, but the leader of thieves who rob Bargest's weapon drops.

A kind of heart breakining info for me indeed :'(
(Colonel Hansen, with all his arms deals, seems to have given the entire Dogtown community a new business opportunity )))

Thus, there is reason to believe that Brianna orders V to eliminate Leon Rinder not only because later had killed her friends and community members, but also because he eliminated Forman - the main source of funds, thereby depriving the community of its business. And among the slum dwellers who had been killed by Rinder, half or more were local gangoons.

About this, you can see the only uppercase is the first letter of the message. All first letters of other sentences, Afterlife and even the 'i' for I in the third sentence aren't uppercase. So there isn't anything to read into the fact T-Bug doesn't use uppercase for V. Only a strange way to write for a person who seems to like philosophy and litterature (but this is part of a mask).

It's the same thing, just expressed in different words: “I don't care about people, I don't respect anyone, I disregard the rules of etiquette and the norms of formal correspondence. And I'm also very smart, because I read philosophical books"
A kind of attitude.

Now for serious matters:
Everyone knows Gary the Prophet:

Everyone knows his stories about techno-necromancers from Alpha Centauri and cold immortal blood.
However, not everyone knows where he came from to Bradbury and Buran Street.
There is a remarkable place in Dogtown that is either a temple made of shipping containers or a training academy for people like Gary.

Training machines for Gary:

With a katana on the altar:

Everything is as it should be.
And the guy inside, whose name is John King, is Gary's senior comrade, teacher, or classmate.

This is what the college where street preacher Gary has received his education looks like.
With the sole assumption that Garry changed his name to Gary (a typical name generally looks like "Harry".)
