Although Cyberpunk 2077 experienced a rocky road upon its release, after a number of patches it has become one of the best games to be released in recent years. One undeniable highlight of the game is its fantastic story – a story that features a number of exciting, and often unexpected, twists and turns. Perhaps the game’s most notable surprising event comes during the fifth main job, “The Heist,” during which a seismic event takes place that shakes the political and social fabric of Night City. Furthermore, this out-of-the-blue occurrence results in one absolutely enormous Cyberpunk 2077 plot hole that potentially has huge consequences for the entire extended Arasaka family storyline.
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077]In Cyberpunk 2077, Saburo Arasak, also known as the Emperor, was the CEO of one of the largest corporations in the world, the intercontinental megacorporation, Arasaka Corporation. Ruthless and power-hungry, even up until his death at the age of 158 years, Saburo retained a tight grip over his company and his remaining family members – his youngest son Yorinobu Arasaka, and his only daughter Hanako Arasaka. While Hanako respected and loved Saburo, Yorinobu passionately and vocally rebelled against his father, a fact that would eventually conclude with the Arasak family patriarch meeting his final and violent end at his son’s hands.

During the fifth main job in Cyberpunk 2077, “The Heist,” V and his accomplices end up in Yorinobu’s Penthouse atop the Konpeki Plaza. Whilst searching for the coveted Relic, Jackie and V are startled to find that they are not alone in the Penthouse as its owner Yorinobu Arasaka, and his father Saburo Arasaka show up for an incredibly tense father-son chat – a discussion that rapidly deteriorates to the point where Yorinobu throttles Saburo to death. Though they have a front-row seat to this monumentally important murder, V inexplicably fails to record the hugely significant event, despite being in possession of high-tech gadgets that are theoretically capable of doing so.
The conversation between the 158-year-old Saburo and his son concerns Yorinobu’s perpetually poor behavior; however, it quickly devolves as Yorinobu, clearly agitated, pacing back and forth, begins to criticize his father’s schemes and selfishness. Yorinobu’s anxiety and anger are juxtaposed by Saburo’s icy calm; after accusing his son of treason and proclaiming his relief that his dead mother does not have to witness the man he has become, Yorinobu can no longer control himself and strikes. Following the death of Saburo, his bodyguard, Goro Takemura asks what happened to which Yorinobu initiates the lie that his father was poisoned by assassins – a claim that has serious repercussions throughout the game.
