probably one of the harder fights in the game considering the place you fight him not being very large so not much room for running. def one of the cooler fights in the game

I always spare him. He’s alright, design-wise. His fight is a bit annoying on Very Hard, because he’s a bit bullet spongy, and he runs and hides when you damage him. His fight isn’t too bad if you keep moving.

Spare him unlocks him in combination with Takemura for The Devil endings.
Fun fact about Oda – someone used AMM to put him versus Adam Smasher in game, and Oda absolutely shit kicked him. Like it was so one sided lol.
I think he’s cool as shit personally.

Gorilla Arms vs Mantis Blades is the best match up I did one playthrough though it was on last gen going to do it again now that I have the updated version on my PC

I always spare him, as he’s an honorable man.

Oda is the hardest boss in the game Change my mind

I find myself killing him just because I hate the fight more than any other in the game lol

I don’t have any real beef with him so I let him live. It’s not like it comes back to bite you later or anything. Most of my playthroughs I tend to avoid any unnecessary murder although sometimes I’m more bloodthirsty.

I killed him the first time (the mf wouldn’t hesitate to kill V + his regeneration and cowardly fight made him a pain in the ass) and since I’m planning on doing the Panam approach to The Tower, his death wasn’t really crucial + I stormed Arasaka Tower alone.
Design wise, he looks cool and I wish we got his outfit for beating him.
His fight the first time was a pain in the ass (but since I’m buffing V (max Streetcred, tier 5 quick hacks, 412 health, a tier 5 Katana with 2 Cyclone attachments a melee focused perk build and Cripple Movement for the fight), his fight should be easier.

I wish I could have his fit🥶🥶

Please tell me im not the only one who needed 2 hours to beat him…

I punched him to submission. Wasn’t much a fight. Just kept countering and using a sandy. However, I was level 60 at the time

Too easy even on Very hard -> with one of the plenty difficulty mods much better
And def. spare him.

I killed him by accident. I went too hard with the Mantis Blades, he was dead in like 3 seconds. I felt like
The only boss who made me use second heart, damn fun fight tough

He deserved a warrior’s death, but I ended him like just another punk in my way.

He is not worse than Goro so… While we are being all friendly with Goro there’s no reasonable reason to not spare. If you are role playing just an opportunistic V towards Goro than it would make sense to kill the arasaka doggy

I was massively under leveled my first play through so I spent forever trying to kill him the first time. I eventually gave up and started from an old save. When I finally came back to this point I killed him and killed him hard. On my second play through now. Maybe I’ll leave him alive just to see the new dialogue

I really like his design but CDPR should have given him a bigger boss arena to really take advantage of his speed and jumps, also the regen mechanic needs to go, I would rather have him move more and be more spongy cause that regen just makes him less cool
Also I spared him cause I didn’t wanna break takemura’s heart
SmokyMetal060
He’s no joke after the buffs! Actually got the sense that he’s an elite cyber ninja. Cool fight.

Cool, spare most of the times. It’s a fine fight. Not too hard nor easy for me
Kalaaleq93
Just kill him.

Depending on your build, he can be either laughably easy or insanely difficult lol
I recently fought him on hard difficulty using a netrunner build and it was tough. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but hacks do barely any damage to him. You have to rely on your actual gun, which was hard because I was doing a stealth pistol build.
Probably the most annoying boss fight in the game for me. If you’re playing netrunner build, you’re so squishy. He kills you pretty much instantly if you get hit by his blades. At the same time, if you don’t keep hunting him down and damaging him, he’ll just hide and heal back to 100%.
I think he’s a cool boss though. It’s just his difficulty that varies. I always try to spare him, because at the end of the day, what he’s doing isn’t personal. He’s Hanako Arasaka’s bodyguard and from his perspective, you and Takemura are trying to hurt her. Later, once he’s aware of your intentions, he helps you during the Arasaka ending. So I wouldn’t say he’s a bad guy, he’s just doing his job.

Spared, cool (just doin his job), actually easier than I thought.

Oda was cool imo. Awesome design, fantastic music and generally just a badass

Cool as fuck
Way too uninteresting of a fight

The fight was a little hard since it’s an early boss but I think he’s a little cool for his dedication I guess, and yes I spared him.
