>!Even if Jackie kept it he would have died, he died of blood loss, not because his brain was damaged. The relic saved V by reconstructing the parts of V’s brain that was damaged by the bullet. The relic isn’t a magical cyberware item it’s just a way of storing someones mind digitally!<

I dont think that is how it works.

supposedly it wouldn’t have worked because jackie died from blood loss, and the chip can’t transfuse him

In fairness, it repaired V’s brain because it was using nanites to reconstruct V’s brain ALREADY, to rewrite it into Johnnys. The fact that those nanites happened to repair V’s bullet damage is a happy accident, due to the work it was already doing when it mistakenly activated early.
It’s probable that it wouldn’t have had the same effect on Jackie tbh

Nope. It was only by extreme coincidence that V lived. The relic reconstructed parts of the brain that were damaged by small-caliber bullet, allowing him to live. Historically, there have been people that have survived direct damage to the brain, so V’s survival isn’t entirely sci-fi magic. Bleeding out, on the other hand, is not something that can be fixed by messing with the brain.
