Just before his climactic confrontation with David Martinez and the Cyberskeleton, Adam Smasher finds himself with a set of memories not his own. It came with a warning, that he would soon meet his end at the hands of some cyberpunk and the ghost of Johnny Silverhand, but he could avoid this if he recruited David and his crew and readied them for that fated encounter.He wasn’t about to die to the ghost of some upjumped cheerleader. He was Adam fucking Smasher. He wasn’t about to die to fucking anyone.That was a promise.The New Man: An Adam Smasher SI is a Cyberpunk fanfic by Brosef that aside from implementing elements from the anime and video game also draws heavily from the original source material. Links are here (Questionable Questing), here (SpaceBattles.com) and here (Archive of Our Own). Be aware of NSFW elements and hosting-site in the first link.

Canon Foreigner: Chiri Tanaka and Victoria Armstrong, two major supporting characters in the fic, don't have counterparts in either Edgerunners or 2077. Along with them also comes in Eren Shepard, but what makes him especially noteworthy is that he comes from Uriel's own personal tabletop games, in which he created Shepard. The implications of this cause Uriel to be unnerved.

Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Adam spares David and his crew in the hope of using him to turn the tide against the ghost of Johnny Silverhand. He also gets talked out of immediately trying to shoot or pulverize his corporate managers over petty annoyances by the reminder that time spent to replace those people and do the same song and dance over again is taken out of his scant year to train and upgrade for the fight of his life.

Katanas Are Just Better
 The New Man: An Adam Smasher SI (Fanfic) / int_12a22bd8
comment
Katanas Are Just Better: Chapter 4 opens with a qualified statement on this trope; Uriel considers them to be a "min-maxed" weapon design that is only meant for slashing, but it is the best sword ever made in delivering helm-splitters (downward slashes) and was made the way they were to compensate for the poor quality iron that Japanese smiths had to make do with. That combined with their sleek profile is why he respects the blade even if he does prefer European swords, and approves of Adam's purchase of one. Saburo agrees with this trope and commissions blades that can withstand being used in conjunction with Panzerfaust so that Adam can continue using swords without losing combat effectiveness.

Instant Expert: Adam has been learning more advanced Panzerfaust techniques from the Ordo Panzer grandmasters he fights. During his fight against Aryas, he uses Roland's technique on one of the tiger warriors, which the panzermaster notes took his peer twenty years to refine and here was a man who was mirroring it just one fight after it was used on him.

Hero Antagonist: Johnny Silverhand and V serve as a looming threat to Smasher in how his primary goal is to avert his canonical death at their hands. Vincent in particular is motivated by a desire to save his son from being under corporate control, which results in him kidnapping David, removing his cyberware and giving him a Super Prototype frame free from Arasaka control.

Full-Frontal Assault: After his fight with Aryas, Smasher switches to his Gemini frame and proceeds to use it to take on a massive swarm of greedy idiots after broadcasting to them that he's boosting his own bounty to one billion Eddies. Afterwards, he proceeds to make his way to Arasaka Tower all the while not caring that he's completely naked until Yorinobu asks him about it.

Always Someone Better

comment
Always Someone Better: Adam quickly establishes himself in David's mind as a nigh-insurmountable pinnacle of combat experience and chrome-tolerance that checks all of his preconceived notions of what a top fighter is capable of and how close he was to that peak. To a much lesser extent, Uriel asserts very firmly how he's better at reading people than Falco, and as a digitized entity has a natural advantage over mundane Netrunners, even prodigies like Lucy. Adam is able to sense a degree of resentment towards him from Goro Takemura both due to his personal strength as well as having Saburo's favor. After going through the BD of Smasher's fight with Roland, Takemura believes that the most he could ever do if the two ever fought is cripple Smasher at the cost of his own life. Uriel himself admits that while he's good at manipulating people, Yorinobu far outstrips him in matters of personal charisma.

Villains Never Lie: One of Smasher's few genuine virtues is his honesty, due to believing that such things are below him. While this typically manifests in Brutal Honesty it also means that he tends to be fair and direct in his dealings.

The Order: The Ordo Panzer are a pseudo-monastic sect of full-borg Panzerfaust practitioners who, some time between 2020 and 2077, decided to restrict all knowledge of the art outside of their order so that the corporations couldn't use it for their wars. They kept away from Adam as he only ever knew the basics and didn't bother spreading his knowledge of it when he became an Empty Shell. This all changed after he took David under his wing and started teaching him stances, which prompted them to start sending Grandmasters to hunt him (and the rest of his crew by association) down.

Pay Evil unto Evil: Over the course of the story Smasher ends up wiping out the Scavs and the Wraiths, who are two of the most explicitly evil gangs in 2077. When Aryas found Project Yokai facility, where there were children's brains being harvested and used to pilot borg frames, he was so disgusted by what he saw that he had all of the Arasaka personnel slaughtered and escaped with every single one of the children. After learning of Project Yokai, Yorinobu orders Adam to execute Jun.

The bosses of the Animals and the Tyger Claws decide to settle their decades-long rivalry via a duel to the death, with the condition if that the former loses the gang retires from Smasher's service while nominating the Animals as successors while if the latter loses the Tyger Claws hold a tournament to decide a replacement. The duel ends in a Mutual Kill, causing both conditions to be fulfilled (with the difference that Smasher keeps both gangs under his employ).

Papa Wolf: While motivated primarily by Pragmatic Villainy, Smasher starts becoming fairly protective of his crew and is quick to shield them from danger out of a combination of needing them for his inevitable confrontation with Silverhand as well as a sense of possessive pride similar to the kind that one would have for their car. Nonetheless, it's implied that, despite being literally incapable of empathy, he's fond of them to an extent to the point that when they're no longer in his living quarters he finds things oddly quiet.

Random Power Ranking: The number in the name of each Ordo Panzer grandmaster is the number of other grandmasters that managed to beat them in their latest mass tournament, and given how gimmicky their combat styles are, there is no guarantee that someone with a lower number (meaning they were able to win against more of their peers) is necessarily more of a match for the protagonists than someone with a higher number.

Saburo Arasaka takes a dim view on wanton or counterproductive sadism, to the point of giving Lucy a roundabout apology for what she went through and assuring her that the deep-dive project has long been scrapped for being "ill-intentioned and unacceptable". He also revives Gloria Martinez as his way of ensuring David's loyalty to the company.

The Dreaded: As usual, Smasher is the most feared entity of Night City and even low-to-mid level Arasaka employees know not to get on his bad side, since he can get away with turning them into a smear on the wall. Uriel's ability to hack enemies to devastating effect has raised his threat level since aside from the mysterious nature of him it means he's no longer just a physical threat but one capable of cyber-warfare. As the most powerful Corpo in the setting, Saburo Arasaka's name sends chills down the spines of everyone. Naturally, the fact that he wants to meet with Adam and his wards terrifies Smasher's crew like nothing else.

Awesome, but Impractical: Katanas. Adam and Uriel have a long rant to each other about how their design is overly optimized as a result of pre-modern Japan's resource limitations and that swords in general are of limited utility against armored cyborgs and the like. Doesn't change the fact that they are insanely fun to use. Adam gets one to use against poorly armed gangbangers, and mournfully hangs it up when serious assassins start coming after him. The Dai-Oni chassis as well, but in the opposite direction. Adam waxes poetic on its size and damage-output specs, but the thing is too bulky and resource-intensive for him to run around the city in, so he's had to keep using his old modified Dragoon chassis for routine missions and daily action. This is also the reason why Smasher has nothing but contempt for Sandayu Oda, Hanako Arasaka's bodyguard. Aside from his sidecut hairstyle (which he hates for both aesthetic and practical reasons) the fact that his primary weapons are neon-red Mantis Blades and is otherwise lightly armed to the point he doesn't even have a Sandevistan means that he's poorly equipped for bodyguard duties.

Empty Shell: While Adam is a high-functioning sociopath who is highly adapted to his violent lifestyle and not in danger of cyberpsychosis causing him to breakdown, that does not mean that his way of life has had no deleterious effects at all. For decades he has been so consumed by his job and so dissociated from human experiences that he had absolutely no relationships or even hobbies of any kind. His apartments were empty of any furniture except for a bench to sit on, his only downtime activity was to review clips of past battles or watch the plaza from his balcony, and he never spoke to anyone except his direct handler and repairmen. Many commentators and omake-writers joke that past-Adam comes off somewhere between severe depression and the aftermath of a Soulkiller test. Fusing with Uriel and taking in David and his friends have alleviated this massively.

As a leftover scar of both his PTSD and brush with cyberpsychosis, Adam is aware of them and speaks up to cut it off whenever David slips.

When Yorinobu asks what Adam would do with the data on Project Yokai, Uriel suggests making use of it to fund the repairs for Arasaka Tower and Night City after Shaitan's attack. Disposing of it would mean that all the infant test subjects died for nothing. Yorinobu agrees with him, seemingly because he mistook this for genuine moral disgust.

Shipper on Deck: Uriel encourages Adam to 'wife' Rebecca, a prospect he finds he's not opposed to. Lucy cheers on the same ship from the sidelines. It may be for practical, self-serving reasons, but Adam wants David and Lucy to have a good and supportive relationship. Vee hasn't even met Lucy, but simply hearing about them being mainlines already has the streetkid declaring them OTP. Saburo briefly entertains the idea of marrying Hanako off to Smasher, before remembering that she has a very low opinion of the full-borg. Played with in regards to David upon learning that Gloria seems to have developed feelings for Smasher. He's not exactly happy about it but ultimately decides that he's ambivalent at best if anything actually comes from that. A message board poster ships Adam and Michiko.

Friends with Benefits: Adam eventually starts propositioning Chiri Tanaka, the head of his PR team, for casual but intense hook-ups. She agrees with extreme enthusiasm, and may be angling for something more given that she starts bringing up her family life whenever she gets a chance to speak to him. Adam, for his part, is not interested in anything deeper, but at the very least finds her cute and bothers to remember her name. Later on he pursues this relationship with Rogue.

World's Best Warrior: Adam considers himself to be the single best killer on the planet. Until the appearance of the Ordo Panzer, nobody could dispute that. Just to put in perspective Adams sheer lethality even compared to other fullborgs at one point he goes up against an oppenent who just ripped through an entire security force, including two Dia-Oniis, without hardly getting scartched. The only thing that keeps Adam from killing that same borg is supperior netrunner support and Adam was only in his Gemni when they fought. A team of ex-military vets hired to kill Adam later decide that they, with dozens of veteran warfighters equipped with military grade gear, have about a 50/50 shot at actaully killing him. Even then they're banking on him being in a very underpowered frame (as in barely above human) without hardly any eqiupment himself for even those odds.

Sad Clown: While Rebecca tries hard to continue outwardly acting like her usual boisterous and supportive self, inside she feels rudderless in her position as an Arasaka goon, alienated from her old life and friends on the streets, is developing a complex over her body, laments that she'll likely never fully get over David, and quietly wishes she had died.

Wretched Hive: All of Night City basically counts as one, per usual, but one exists in the corporate controlled Tokyo, the Tokyo Bay Crossway. A massive bridge that has internal factories and robots managing it, run by a Rogue AI that attacks all military that go near it. It's too heavily fortified to take out, and as a result all of the criminals, mercenaries, homeless, and minor remaining yakuza make their home in camps around it. This infuriates Saburo Arasaka like nothing else.

Love Hurts
 The New Man: An Adam Smasher SI (Fanfic) / int_424d15ad
comment
Love Hurts: Smasher's relationship with Michiko Arasaka ended on a very bitter note, due to Michiko being tricked into leading one of his enemies to him, which lead to a fight that resulted in Smasher lashing out and maiming her. By the time of the story, it affects him enough that he avoids anything and everything involving her, such as pointedly not approaching Danger Gal to look into the attack on Arasaka Tower despite his respect for their capabilities. For her part, Michiko feels a deep sense of guilt towards how things ended.

Worthy Opponent: Adam considers the Power Armor-toting railgun sniper to be easily the most exhilarating fight he's had in years up to that point, and pays her the courtesy of a quick death as the building she was camped in collapses around them. He gets a lot more ambivalent about that scrap after learning that the woman was outfitted by Morgan Blackhand. Aryas views Adam as this, respecting his fighting prowess even if he doesn't care one bit for the butcher's behavior. Kagekaze considers Shaitan this, even if the latter would have none of it.

Moral Sociopathy: Uriel is claimed by both himself and Word of God to possess a very muted capacity for empathy but a highly developed sense of ethics. Commentators eventually made a strong case for him actually being above average on the Cyberpunk empathy scale (if only by a little bit) due to just how brutal Night City is and how callous its residents are as a consequence. Along with this, his empathy stat is pretty high at 8, which contrasts with his more Lack of Empathy moments, such as calling Chiri Tanaka's funeral "boring".

V and Johnny Silverhand serve as a looming threat for Smasher since the primary goal of the series is for Smasher to avoid his canonical death. This isn't helped by the fact that the circumstances changes things drastically so that Johnny is not only an Ace Custom Fullborg but "V", AKA Vincent Martinez, is a Nomad warlord and the product of a program from Mexican Metals to create the ideal leader.

Downer Ending: At least for Adam Smasher (for the setting at large, it'd be considered largely positive), but "Book One" ends with Johnny Silverhand defeating Smasher after killing Saburo Arasaka. Nonetheless, out of a belief that Smasher has potential for change after listening to his music (as well as being out of ammo at that point) Johnny decides to spare Smasher. With the death of Saburo, Smasher is officially free from his Long-Term Contract but also no longer has any ties to Arasaka (including their nigh-infinite resources/backing).

Brought Down to Badass
 The New Man: An Adam Smasher SI (Fanfic) / int_51a485d1
comment
Brought Down to Badass: Adam decides during his three-week vacation and preliminary training of David to only fight with a handgun, a knife or sword, and sparing use of his Sandevistan and Panzerfaust. That still leaves the 8 foot tall, 600 pound full-borg with 80 years of combat experience as the most lethal thing in Night City, and more than a match for any Militech assassin or high-grade cyberpsycho. Adam gets hit with this again after being restricted by Jun from using any of his weapons aside from the few he owns for himself, mainly his sword, knives and a few small arms. This means that he faced Aryas and his minions with substandard armament. Danger Gal's Victoria notes just how crazy this is given that he lasted fifteen minutes and dealt his foe a heavy blow fighting solo while she, the rest of the Danger Gal elites and Kenichi Zaburo could barely keep up with the master even though he's lacking an arm and down a fair amount of tiger warriors because of Adam. After Aryas and the remnants of Battlegroup Yurei retreat, Adam switches out of his thrashed custom frame to a Gemini. He doesn't need any more than that and an old MG-42 to take care of whatever dregs he lured to Pacifica with his increased bounty. During the finale, Adam is, through a serious series of battles, brought down once again to his Gemini frame for his fight with Silverhand. Afterwards, due to Saburo's death leading to the termination of his contract with Arasaka, he loses access to most of his frames and is forced to rely on an Alpha Frame that he deems barely adequate.

Adam is able to sense a degree of resentment towards him from Goro Takemura both due to his personal strength as well as having Saburo's favor. After going through the BD of Smasher's fight with Roland, Takemura believes that the most he could ever do if the two ever fought is cripple Smasher at the cost of his own life.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Smasher is given a new Cyberbody◊ that grants him a more humanoid appearance compared to the Dragoon armor he uses, as part of his arrangement to make him more PR friendly. After Smasher openly critiques her appearance, Rogue not only switches to an outfit closer to what she wore in her younger days but updated her rejuvenation treatments to look much younger (with the author using Carmilla from FGO as a comparison). Michiko's neokitsch look is treated as a part of a depressive slump that she's been in due to her husband's death. After getting motivated, she ditches it for an appearance closer to how she was in the TRPG◊.

Straight Edge Evil: Shockingly enough, Adam Smasher is revealed to be this. One of the main reasons his Dragoon frame does not use any drugs or suppressants is that Smasher absolutely despises anything that alters his mind and mental state. This mostly stems from the fact he abused drugs himself when he was young and, coupled with seeing many of his friends die from overdosing, led to him quitting and developing a hatred for drugs.

Pragmatic Villainy: Adam goes out of his way to treat David and company incredibly well, just to ensure they stay loyal for at least the year to come. He's also begun restraining his urge to kill uppity corpos a little more just because it produces more headaches down the line as they get replaced in short order by fresh suits even more ignorant of his moods. Saburo Arasaka takes a dim view on wanton or counterproductive sadism, to the point of giving Lucy a roundabout apology for what she went through and assuring her that the deep-dive project has long been scrapped for being "ill-intentioned and unacceptable". He also revives Gloria Martinez as his way of ensuring David's loyalty to the company. When Shaitan issues his city-wide bounty on Arasaka, Royce of the Maelstrom prohibits any member of his gang from taking it since he does not want to deal with Arasaka's inevitable retaliation. Similar to Royce, Meredith Stout prohibits the local Militech force from taking advantage of the chaos in Shaitan wrought to strike at Arasaka because that might set a precedent that could make all other corporations fair game. She instead deploys them to keep the peace. When Yorinobu asks what Adam would do with the data on Project Yokai, Uriel suggests making use of it to fund the repairs for Arasaka Tower and Night City after Shaitan's attack. Disposing of it would mean that all the infant test subjects died for nothing. Yorinobu agrees with him, seemingly because he mistook this for genuine moral disgust.

He also gets along well with Kagekaze, who regards him as a disciple with great potential. It's also implied that Smasher had a fairly decent relationship with Kei Arasaka back when the latter was alive.

And while Uriel himself does have a decently high empathy stat, that's only relative to the setting, with moments such as him calling Chiri Tanaka's funeral "boring" indicating that he adheres more to Moral Sociopathy.

We Hardly Knew Ye: The Adam-worshipping breakaway faction of the Voodoo Boys were extremely well-received by both David and the audience, only to be wiped out in their totality the chapter after their proper introduction by an accidental pincer attack between the Pavement Apes and Blackbeard. Their deaths are taken hard both in and out of universe.

Not So Omniscient After All: While Uriel has a fair amount of knowledge regarding the Cyberpunk setting, his metaknowledge primarily consists of the original TRPG and Edgerunners. His actual knowledge of the events of 2077 is mostly gained from watching a speedrun, meaning his knowledge of that game is fairly limited. Notably, he also doesn't have any particular reactions towards Panam Palmer or Jackie Welles, though Viktor Vector elicits mild deja vu from him.

In contrast to his thuggish and boisterous mannerisms in the original sourcebooks, Adam in this story is outwardly stoic and sick of everyone's pretenses while still maintaining an incredible aura of barely restrained violence, and a private Awesome Ego. His own explanation for that is "old killers don't see much point in talking anymore".

Like a Duck Takes to Water: David takes to combat extremely well. Adam notes to his handler that the boy went from an Ordinary High-School Student to a reputed street solo in under a year, taking on chrome that would break lesser men and caused such carnage with the piece of trash that was the Cyberskeleton that Arasaka's top attack dog had to be called in to stop it. David is also so quick a learner that in just under a month under Adam's wing has him capable of taking on Militech's finest.

Secret Art: The author's explanation for why Panzerfaust is gone from the setting in the 2070s; the two greatest practitioners had a disagreement in the aftermath of the Fourth Corporate War. One thought that their martial art needed to become a secret so that the corporations and governments could not field armies trained in its use that would go on to cause apocalyptic damage, and the other thought his estimation of its destructive potential was exaggerated and that spreading the knowledge would keep the playing field level. They fought over the question. The recluse won, and went on to create the Ordo Panzer and wipe out any practitioner that wasn't a part of it except Adam.

Repressive, but Efficient: Japan is in a much better state than Night City. The streets are clean, quality of life is high and crime rate is generally low. Adam's internal monologue sums it up best. Smasher, as district manager of Pacifica, maintains authority primarily through his presence as well as killing anyone that steps out of line or dirties the streets while ensuring that anyone who follows the rules gets basic food and shelter.

Full-Conversion Cyborg

comment
Full-Conversion Cyborg: Coming in from canon, there are Adam himself, Kagekaze and Shaitan. Michiko's bodyguard Kenichi Zaburo is stated to be a Gemini. Vee is also a full-borg but it's not readily apparent. Or so it seemed at first glance, as chapter 9 revealed that the murderous little joytoy is actually a fully artificial Arasaka assassin. All Jorogumo model gynoids are meant to pass off as these. All of the Ordo Panzer grandmasters are this, owing to the requirements to use Panzerfaust to its fullest. They even go the extra mile and replace their brains. Eren Shepard, son of the Arasaka cleanup crew POV character John, is this, having undergone a cyberization project under the NCPD. According to the author, Terry A. Davis ended up getting a Wiseman conversion (a chassis specialized for netrunning) after getting support from the Vatican. The fact that the Vatican now has a schizophrenic living supercomputer at it's disposal as well as now using TempleOS (which is near-indecipherable to netrunners) means that they are effectively impossible to hack from the outside. David eventually gets his body converted to a Liveware frame, which in-universe is tech that's several years ahead of it's time.

Had to Be Sharp: Due to Pacifica being a particularly brutal hellhole compared to the rest of Night City, the residents are very accustomed to fighting for their lives. Practically every adult is armed, equipped with a combat chrome and has killed at least once in their lives. As such, when an invading force decides to attack Pacifica a fair amount of the citizens are more than willing to fight to defend their home, especially after Smasher has drastically improved their quality of life.

Adaptational Intelligence: Smasher is typically little more than The Brute and a psychotic thug who has little talent in anything save for violence. While still a thug at core, the story also portrays him as having the experience, professionalism and tactical abilities one could reasonably expect of a near century-old corporate mercenary on top of being educated in the Japanese language and business etiquette. His stats as given by the author also reflect this, by having him have an intelligence of 7 compared to his original 4 in the original Tabletop.

Big Bad Ensemble: The story has a number of antagonists: The Grandmasters of the Ordo Panzer, a group of Full-Conversion Cyborgs, who have traded all of their flesh, including their brain, to be fully mechanized to help master the martial art Panzerfaust. They only oppose Smasher, due to the fact that he's teaching David some of the stances of Panzerfaust, and since they are focused on maintaining the secrecy of Panzerfaust, they've come to kill him. V and Johnny Silverhand serve as a looming threat for Smasher since the primary goal of the series is for Smasher to avoid his canonical death. This isn't helped by the fact that the circumstances changes things drastically so that Johnny is not only an Ace Custom Fullborg but "V", AKA Vincent Martinez, is a Nomad warlord and the product of a program from Mexican Metals to create the ideal leader.

Adaptational Badass: While Yorinobu Arasaka does have a storied history leading a biker gang opposing his father, he was never portrayed as a physical threat in 2077. In this story, he's stated to not need any personal bodyguards and prefers to deal with threats personally with nothing but his gun and his chrome. He's shown to have a Kerenzikov constantly active as his way hide his intentions, though it doesn't work on Saburo due to him being really perceptive. While little is known of Michiko Arasaka in regards to her combat capabilities in canon, in this story she's shown to have a Sandevistan. Johnny Silverhand in 2077 was a Virtual Ghost with no real ability to affect the world save for whenever he controls V's body and in life was never as badass as he thought. In this story, his Engram is uploaded into a custom Fullborg body.

Almighty Janitor: On paper, Smasher is just a contracted mercenary on Arasaka's payroll and has no official rank within the company hierarchy. Unofficially, he has no problems murdering corpos who thinks that this means they can talk down to him, can intimidate most people to get what he wants and is a member of Saburo's inner circle, meaning that he can theoretically appeal directly to the boss if he wanted to but won't because he dislikes relying on others on principle. However, this also means that once Saburo (his primary contract holder) is killed, he effectively loses all ties to Arasaka and while he was originally planning to just get rehired upon learning that Michiko is put in charge of the NC branch he decides to simply leave the city.

Press-Ganged: Adam recruits David as his apprentice by ripping him limb-from-limb out of the Cyberskeleton and telling him he can accept the job or let himself and all his friends be killed. Adam alleviates David's resentment by promising to only force David to take the job for a year and acting like a pretty swell boss, but there is still a bad taste in the boy's mouth over giving in like he did. Over time, this largely dissipates due to seeing Smasher as a mentor/father figure to the point that when Smasher gives him tickets to the moon he turns them down.

Super-Soldier: Chi Tu Ma is the result of a secret project by Kang Tao, meant to create soldiers that can match Adam Smasher. He finds himself still inferior to Arasaka's killer full-borg after the battle with Roland as it was clear as day that those two were well beyond his capabilities to fight. After footage of the battle is seen by all the other corps, they all begin scrambling to make their own individual soldier capable of standing toe-to-toe with Smasher.

BFG: Militech sends an assassin to shoot Adam and David with an experimental high-yield rail-gun. It fires soda can-sized shells that can crumble buildings from the aftershock of their impact and needs to be mounted on the back of a car-sized quadruped Powered Armor just to be stable enough to fire.

Adam considers the Power Armor-toting railgun sniper to be easily the most exhilarating fight he's had in years up to that point, and pays her the courtesy of a quick death as the building she was camped in collapses around them. He gets a lot more ambivalent about that scrap after learning that the woman was outfitted by Morgan Blackhand.

Adaptational Dumbass: In 2077, Brick was considered the most even-headed and rational of the Maelstrom bosses. In this story, watching the BD of Smasher's fight against Roland led to him becoming more obsessed with chroming up, eventually leading him to attempt to control an AI (specifically Alt Cunningham) and eventually causing not only Royce to leave with half of the gang while him and the remaining Maelstrommers end up getting hijacked by hostile AIs

Cultured Badass: On Saburo's orders, Smasher is fluent in Japanese and has a working knowledge of the tea ceremony and traditional Japanese etiquette, enough so as to give a crash-course to David, Lucy, and Rebecca on the flight to Tokyo. Saburo then goes on to also order Adam to continue his music career because, in his opinion, "a samurai must be a poet as well as a warrior". Of course, none of this means that he actually cares much for such things and he's still as tasteless and artless as he is in canon.

He vowed to find out who caused this but it ultimately goes nowhere because he dies from Shaitan's nuke not long after. Saburo also learns this to be the case with Lucy.

Smasher ends up becoming a target of the Grandmasters of Panzerfaust, who prove to be a step-up from the typical goons he deals with.

Restraining Bolt: Smasher's augment-interface system is coded so that he is forced to obey and protect anyone who holds his "Long-Term Contract", with the current holder being Saburo Arasaka and later on Yorinobu Arasaka. The Contract also include various "tiers" below the primary holder, with second-tiers being any other members of the Arasaka family while the President of the NC branch is the third-tier, allowing them to give him orders provided it doesn't supersede the the First-Tier contract holder. Since it's based on Smasher's mind, this also prevents him from actively subverting orders via finding loopholes since his mind will recognize them as him attempting to bypass the contract. The contract is officially negated after Johnny kills Saburo and destroys his engram chip. Later on, while having David going through a fullborg transplant Vincent and the ripperdocs he recruited find an Arasaka control chip within his brain, thus proving his fears correct.

Cold Ham: In contrast to his thuggish and boisterous mannerisms in the original sourcebooks, Adam in this story is outwardly stoic and sick of everyone's pretenses while still maintaining an incredible aura of barely restrained violence, and a private Awesome Ego. His own explanation for that is "old killers don't see much point in talking anymore". Saburo Arasaka is a truly ancient Japanese veteran and businessman turned despot that is obsessed with propriety. He makes up for his lack of bombastic voice with grandiose and flowery language paired with an icy presence.

It was simply a vehicle meant to test if Arasaka's new anti-grav technology could be scaled down and made more efficient, but it was sorely lacking in anything else, had a bunch of useless accessories, and it was lacking in protection for its user. He has such a low opinion of it that hearing about David's rampage with the thing has him thoroughly impressed.

Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Panzerfaust is this for David. As a martial art meant for use by full-borgs, it will cause significant strain on the biological parts of the body, something Kagekaze notes when he assesses the boy. The master recommends he either goes full-conversion so he can use it properly or to innovate and adapt Panzerfaust's principles into something non-borgs can use to match against Panzermasters. David opts for the latter because he's wary of getting chained even more to Arasaka by going full-borg under their auspices.

Mighty Glacier: When fighting against people strong or skilled enough to be capable of trading blows with him, Adam Smasher is noted in both his own internal monologue and Word of God to not actually be as offensively-geared as he could be. Not just hunters sent by the Ordo Panzer, but even "half-meat" like Victoria Armstrong are often noted to have augment loadouts that make them faster than him, optimized to strike harder, or both. Where Adam's advantage lies is consistently his superior armor and reach in his giant Dragoon frame, which lets him slug it out at arms-length or tank near-lethal counterattacks while running in for a Death or Glory Attack.

Katanas. Adam and Uriel have a long rant to each other about how their design is overly optimized as a result of pre-modern Japan's resource limitations and that swords in general are of limited utility against armored cyborgs and the like. Doesn't change the fact that they are insanely fun to use. Adam gets one to use against poorly armed gangbangers, and mournfully hangs it up when serious assassins start coming after him.

Saburo Arasaka, typically the Greater-Scope Villain of the series, is also affected by this where both time as well as Hanako's influence have mellowed him out.

One-Man Army: Adam Smasher can tear through an enemy armored battalion by himself, and executes squads of gangers in a split-second as a hobby. David is rapidly learning to match his lethal efficiency. Danger Gal has a list of such individuals, dubbed 'boomers' as a joke based on nuclear weapons, finding about fifty of them throughout the years. Adam was the first one. The Ordo Panzer, all of whom could qualify, got the entire agency in a panic when they first learned of their existence.

It's Personal: While the Ordo Panzer's attack on Arasaka Tower is a pretty heavy blow to the company and resulted in the deaths of people he knew and tolerated, what really pisses off Smasher is the fact that they stole his prized Dai-Oni chassis.

Benevolent Boss: While he's not exactly nice, Smasher is shockingly generous towards David and his crew, being willing to let them use his money to renovate his pad within reason, putting them on a Trauma Team Platinum Package on his dime, ensuring they're properly compensated for their work and even lets Rebecca bring in her cats provided that she cleans up after them. This is on top of making sure Lucy and Rebecca (both of whom come to feel both intense fear and gratitude towards him) are trained and equipped when he only really cares about David. On a good day, he's willing to respond to their jokes. Saburo reacts to Smasher's change in nature very favorably and actively tries to cultivate his potential. To that end, he not only has an unbreakable katana commissioned for his use but also grants him control of Pacifica after purchasing the territory, effectively granting him a fiefdom.

Happiness in Slavery: The Arasaka Fullborg contract is one that would be considered a pretty awful form of slavery to most but for Smasher it's of no concern since he gets to indulge in every bit of violence and carnage he wants while having all of his needs fulfilled. Other Japanese borgs meanwhile are already culturally indoctrinated to be loyal to Saburo and Japan, meaning they also have no problems.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Militech sends an assassin after Adam and David with a railgun-cannon mounted on power-armor. She puts up a good fight but ultimately fails, and Adam then harvests her gun for his armorer to reverse-engineer and produce a line of miniaturized versions to arm Rebecca and Arasaka's corp of "heavy-snipers". Adam mocks Militech in his head for their backfired gambit.

Bread and Circuses: When Smasher is given control of Pacifica Uriel begins to revitalize the place by building housing, offering the citizens work in exchange for food and shelter as well as creating infrastructure. For the Circus aspect, Smasher has the stadium converted into a gladiatorial arena where locals could compete and watch fights, thus providing various sources of income as well as a way for the various gangs to settle grudges in an organized fashion. This coupled with the threat of pissing off Smasher is that Pacifica went from being the worst section of Night City to the one with the lowest crime rate, as well as allowing Smasher to hire the Animals as his personal goons/security detail.

Fate Worse than Death: For failing the Ordo Panzer's primary mission of secrecy, in addition to losing to Adam, Roland was to be sealed away for a century as punishment. Aryas argued that it would be pointless, seeing as the iteration that was guilty of that act is dead, he was instead punished by being made subordinate to another grandmaster so that his skills could still be utilized. He is then assigned under Ishtar, and those that called for his head before looked upon the fallen knight with pity.

Self-Insert Fic: Of a sort. The general fic description is of a "self insert" being placed into Adam Smasher. However, Uriel is framed by Word of God as a separate character with his own set of values. The most likely reason for this is due to the fact that Adam Smasher has a very strong sense of self, effectively canceling out Uriel's takeover of his body.

The Last Dance: Shaitan reveals to Kagekaze that his attack on Arasaka is ultimately this. Having fought Arasaka for so long, he knows he can't go on for much longer, so decides to cause them as much damage as he can before he is killed. The bosses of the Animals and the Tyger Claws decide to settle their decades-long rivalry via a duel to the death, with the condition if that the former loses the gang retires from Smasher's service while nominating the Animals as successors while if the latter loses the Tyger Claws hold a tournament to decide a replacement. The duel ends in a Mutual Kill, causing both conditions to be fulfilled (with the difference that Smasher keeps both gangs under his employ).

Vibroweapon: Panzerfaust is a Fantastic Fighting Style developed for full-borgs, the basic principle of which is the leveraging of magnetized, full-motion-ranged joints to allow a practitioner to spin and vibrate their limbs at such speeds that they can drill through tank armor. Uriel wants to develop a sword big enough and made with materials dense enough to withstand use in the style so that Adam doesn't have to stop using a sword in serious fights again. Saburo would later commission a set of unbreakable blades for this very purpose.

Nerd in Evil's Helmet: Adam has a good memory and appreciation for late-20th and very early-21st century pop-culture once Uriel gets him to start thinking about other things than murder. According to the author, this was one of the major reasons why Michiko ended up falling for him back in the day; Aside from having an incredibly good-looking Gemini body, Adam had a dorky side in his love of anime and junk food that she (as an incredibly sheltered girl) found endearing. Saburo has an unabashed love for Kurosawa films, to the point of sneaking in references into even formal proclamations. He also is very much not an exception to Adam's assertion that all men like swords.

Show Within a Show: "Oni Kabuto", an in-universe anime series commissioned by the Arasaka Propaganda Machine as part of the PR campaign to boost Smasher's public image as well as to build unconscious bias against Americans. It features an anime version of Smasher being sent back in time to save a steampunk Japan from "The Order of the Golden Eagle" consisting of exaggerated stereotypes of Americans with the help of anime versions of David, Lucy and Rebecca. Smasher's mainly upset that his animated counterpart uses lasers rather than missiles.

Affluent Ascetic: Being Arasaka's top goon, Smasher has practically anything he wants paid for by the company and has an entire floor of Arasaka Tower for his own personal use. However, his personal abode was completely empty for decades due to the fact that he only spends money on equipment. As such, he has no problem letting David and his crew dip into his accounts since it's a drop in the bucket for him.

Shout-Out
 The New Man: An Adam Smasher SI (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: When Uriel commandeers Adam's old Gemini bodies (stated to look like blonde, buff Elvis clones in canon), he takes the opportunity to talk to David and flirt with Rebecca in the voice of Johnny Bravo. The railgun-toting sniper that shows up in chapter 4 is a dead ringer for Crying Wolf. Adam's first redesigned chassis is stated by Rebecca to look like "if Arnold and Murphy had a baby". Becca in general has a fairly in-depth knowledge of century-old (by her time) sci-fi media, and is delighted whenever she can coax Adam to acknowledge and quote back her references. Saburo Arasaka only ever calls Adam "Yojimbo". He's been waiting decades for him to understand the reference. Rogue's looks after she changes up her fashion is based on Carmilla (specifically, a fan art of her in casual clothes). One of the albums that Smasher release is effectively one where he covers the soundtrack of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The members of the Ordo Panzer are based on the Angels of Kill Six Billion Demons, having a similar naming convention as well as each claiming to be "Bearers of a Word".

Dude Looks Like a Lady: Smasher's new armorer Saika is very effeminate-looking and wears form-fitting clothes (which he states is a personal fetish of his) to the point that even Smasher was initially confused. According to the author, this was due to his mother forcing biomods on him at a young age.

Beyond the Impossible: Anyone using a Dragoon frame (or a DaiOni) is usually drugged to the gills so they don't go insane from the overload. Most people assumed the same for Adam Smasher until Arasaka publically released the raw BD of his fight with Roland, and everyone learned that he had been piloting his frame without chemical assistance whatsoever. He also doesn't use any pain editors.

Not only does it work, she gives him an open invitation to return to the bar.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Adam forces David to become his protégée and offers to let his surviving crew come along for the ride, Falco politely declines and requests a ride out of Night City. Adam is not offended, and indeed praises his survival instincts in wanting to avoid corpo-war entanglements. Knowing that Brick's meddling with AIs from beyond the Blackwall will lead to nothing good, Royce takes half of the gang with him and defects to the Aldecaldos. At the end of Book One, Smasher was content to renegotiate another contract with Arasaka after Saburo's death breaks his Long-Term Contract. However, after hearing that Michiko is now the head of the NC Brach of Arasaka and refusing to work directly under her, he instead decides to leave Night City and strike it out on his own (with David choosing to follow him)

This results on the excision of the "Collateral damage guaranteed" clause of his contract, as well as him getting fitted with a new more conventionally attractive body. Attempts to get him to shout attack names have so far been ignored.

Call a Human a "Meatbag": Adam refers to everyone as "meat" or "meatbag" until they do something to impress him enough to consider them a person. Uriel considers this one of his edgiest character traits. Due to Smasher's influence, David eventually begins to internally refer to enemies that earn his contempt as "meat".

Ridiculously Human Robots: The Jorogumo-series of gynoids are nearly indistinguishable from humans unless thoroughly scanned, with even the usual signs of cyberware nigh invisible to the naked eye. They show up as being 94% chrome under close scrutiny, as they have wetware nervous systems, so they can simply pass off as full-borgs. Vee is one of these, having been stolen and lost in Night City some time before the story.

Powered by a Forsaken Child: Project Yokai is eventually revealed to be a project to recreate Adam Smasher's Insanity Immunity to Cyberpsychosis via stress-testing the brains of infants in Biopods in order to create an army of fullborgs. Saburo originally ordered the project to use cloned brains, only for Jugemu Jun to instead use kidnapped orphans for the sake of cutting costs.

Grand Theft Prototype: The Ordo Panzer have made off with a few nigh-irreplaceable things from Arasaka Tower over the course of two raids: Adam's DaiOni, the Cyberskeleton and Battlegroup Yurei.

comment
Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Uriel is randomly beamed into Adam's head in the opening of the fic to take over his body like a typical self-insert protagonist. He completely fails due to Adam being over half a century older than him, having a ludicrously strong sense of self, and his memories of life as a mercenary and the sheer extent of his cybernetic sensory enhancements being traumatic enough to kill or drive insane any other person trying to walk-in his shoes. Uriel survives by becoming a sort of AI attendant to Adam instead of vying for control over him.

Simple, yet Awesome: Adam is of the firm opinion that most augments are superfluous and over-designed, and that people who actually want to fight need to strip down to basics, e.g. drop the Mantis Blades and just carry a sword if you want to cut things. One chapter in which he trains Lucy, Rebecca and Gloria has him espouse the virtues of a Techtronika-15 Microwaver in how despite being cheap and causing minimal damage is very capable in shutting down any cyberware without proper radiation shielding (IE, everyone save for corpo-quality full-borgs), noting that it was a signature weapon of Morgan Blackhand. When Victoria Armstrong’s brother moves into his compound, Adam also praises him for refusing any exotic Bio-Augmentation procedures like animal trait-splicing in favor of straightforward muscle, bone, and healing enhancers, the only liveware he considers worth a damn and which put the man on the level of mid-grade fullborgs, at least in terms of pure physical performance.

Disco Dan: Adam absolutely hates modern fashion and styles, especially for women, griping about how ugly it makes everyone look. His very first words to Rogue Amendiares after she shoved a gun to his face is to insult everything but her pants. This is also why he finds Chiri Tanaka attractive, because she has a classic Japanese Office Lady look. Most of the songs in his albums are covers of 20th Century songs.

Heroic Self-Deprecation: In her own head, Lucy chastises herself as being weak and cowardly, having to constantly clamp down on her fears and unable to do much. This is due to her Arasaka trauma button being permanently switched with the crew under the corporation's thumb. Outside of her own head, she is a very skilled prodigy netrunner who can hold back Blackbeard's Kraken whereas Uriel immediately fled from Chandra Gupta's own attack AI despite his boasts of being superior to her. She is also no slouch when it comes to direct combat, despite having to do it while providing overwatch and netrunning all at the same time.

Enemy Civil War: After news of Adam's (in truth Uriel's) cyber-warfare feats against a block full of scav ambushers leaks, the Voodoo Boys split straight down the middle between those that believe him to be a messiah empowered by the Old Net, and those that consider him to be a fraud with an attack A.I. on a leash, which rapidly builds up to the point of violence after hearing news that Adam is moving to Pacifica. Brigitte doesn't have a strong stance on the schism, and just wants the two sides to duke it out fast so she can go back to leading the surviving faction. David ends up getting embroiled by backing the Pro-Smasher faction on the basis that a gang of Netrunners could come useful.

Living Emotional Crutch: When Lucy asks Adam to tell her what she can do to help David, he and Uriel tell her that becoming more physically and emotionally intimate with her lover and learning to cook or do other supportive things for him would go a much longer way than just becoming a better netrunner or fighter to tag along in missions, though he does also bully some corpos into giving her overwatch and mission-handling training too. David is also this for Lucy. Her POV shows her being very stressed out at being under Arasaka's thumb again, and she pushes through by focusing on David as her anchor.
