I thought it was obvious that Johnny going after Arasaka 'as revenge for Alt' was just an excuse. He'd been bitching about corps for decades at that point. Claiming it was for Alt was his excuse that he probably also kinda deluded himself into believing as well, but it was big fat bullshit.

I love Johnny, he's my precious filthy garbage rat. But he was a cunt. Johnny did everything he did for Johnny. He treated everyone in his life like garbage because he was so hellbent on sticking it to the corps and couldn't see the shit that actually mattered. Nor the people that actually mattered.

And honestly to me, his connection with Rogue and Kerry was way realer and deeper than his connection with Alt ever was or could be. She was his perfect scapegoat. But Rogue and Kerry (and Nancy until a certain point) were the only ones in his life who - in my interpretation of what I see in both canons - could shake him by the shoulders like a ragdoll and maybe ignite even the tiniest spark of brainpower in that rage fuelled head.

Clearly not enough, but they were the 'real ones' so to speak. Whereas Alt... I gotta agree with Rogue on her. She was just a groupie input (I refuse to say output the original terms have been switched) who happened to have written fucking soulkiller of all things. But there was nothing of real substance there other than the perfect excuse for Johnny to exact his decades of brewing rage.

i like to think that V fantasizes about being able to fall asleep to Johnny's heartbeat and once they're able to get him his body back he hears it the first time and starts crying because he can't believe Johnny is actually alive

Wrong city. Wrong people.

I feel like there's something very intimate about the idea of V not getting any operation, not going forward with Mikoshi, but letting Johnny slowly override him and kill him.

After weeks of fighting, when he stops, Johnny's the one begging him to do something. To get up, to go kill a cyberpsycho or something, just get up, V, please.

He doesn't understand. V wanted to live, become a legend, but he wasn't fighting for it. For the chance at a few more months, so why won't he fight for it? C'mon, call Johnny a parasite again, just do something.

And he doesn't. It's the same old tasks, scavenge enough eddies to keep a place to live and food. Have Vik check up on him every so often. He doesn't fight.

That pained, loopy way V looks at him feels like a stab in the chest. He doesn't want to die, no, but he knows it'll happen eventually so what's the point of going anywhere for anything when Johnny will take over for him. He wants him to. What's the point of his body if it's not used?

V just wants him close when it's finally done. He might've been there in Mikoshi, waving him off, but that place is cold. The ice baths hurt and he wants to be warm when everything goes away.

He wants to be warm. And he wants Johnny to be there every second. It'll hurt. God, it'll fuckin hurt. But he can't stand the idea of someone doin it for him. He's not putting a bullet in his head, just static fading into the background till he's gone.

Johnny will take his place, and V can only hope that he'll do good by him.

This has been overanalyzed 10 times over, but I just can’t get over the fact that Johnny’s ID has a V in it.

They were meant to be.

This happened in Mikoshi btw
