History Recap / CyberpunkEdgerunnersS1E6GirlOnFire

* Irony: Katsuo Tanaka mocked David's loss. Now his own parent is probably coming home in something small, because that's all anyone will be able to find. And at the (accidental) hands of David's crew, which David joined partially because Katsuo was a jerk.

* SelfDeprecation: In the English dub, Maine says that the NCPD officers keep appearing out of thin air, which is likely a jab at the "wanted system" of ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077''.

* CombatMedic: As shown at the start of the series, and the game, Trauma Team is a bunch of armed paramedics who's sole task is to retrieve insured clients like Tanaka so he can be revived. When he is killed however, they end up leaving the area.

* AxCrazy: Maine gradually becomes like this as his cyborged-up body drives him mad. Not even his own teammates are safe. When his companion Dorio dies, everyone is at risk.

* MentorOccupationalHazard: Maine dies at the hands of the NCPD, leaving David orphaned for a second time.

-->'''Maine''': Hey... This mess here ''my'' fault?

* RedemptionRejection: Redemption is a strong word but David refuses to help Tanaka escape, even when he knows it will result in the man's death.

* ThousandYardStare: The final seconds of the episode has David undergo this after failing to save Maine or Dorio.

This causes David to hesitate long enough that Tanaka's neural implant shorts out, risking killing Lucy too. Dorio
disconnects Lucy safely, but their jammer was disabled and Trauma Team has received Tanaka's vitals and are en route with the NCPD. Maine sends David and Lucy to their escape vehicle first while he and Dorio take Tanaka to distract the authorities.

However, during the battle, Maine begins to succumb to his cyberpsychosis, resulting in Dorio's death when she attempts to protect him. With his companion gone, Maine gives in to rage and slaughters as mainy Trauma and Polices associates as possible, all while dismembering what is left of Tanaka's body. The Trauma Team are forced to flee and call in [=MaxTac=] to handle Maine.

** Maine's cybernetics have begun to catch up to him and is now suffering cyberpsychosis and making his gang's job that much more difficult. When Dorio tells him that they'll have him switching to lighter tech when their job is done, he refuses.

* WhamEpisode: Maine and Dorio are killed. So is Tanaka, severing David's ties with his old life.

* DarkSecret: Lucy’s deep-dive neural port serves as this upon connecting to Tanaka Sr, as it reveals her DarkAndTroubledPast being related to Arasaka. This catches David off-guard, as she was utilizing standard forms of connecting her body to cyberspace up to this point.

However, during the battle, Maine begins to succumb to his cyberpsychosis, resulting in Dorio's death when she attempts to protect him. David tries to rescue Maine, but he can only watch helplessly as a regretful Maine blows himself up along with Dorio's corpse. All David can do is flee with Maine's arms.

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: David adopts this attitude when Dorio and Maine are left behind to face Trauma Team as well as the NCPD. Lucy tries to get him to drop it but it doesn't take. In the end, he's unable to save either of them.

** Maine kills Tanaka in a way that resuscitation is impossible, so Trauma Team gets the hell out of there for MaxTac to handle it.
