The voice actor did an unbelievable job (Rome Kanda). The chemistry he had with V was almost if not as good as V and Johnnys. Hes also hilarious. When you first see him you think hes gonna be totally different then he actually is.
especially when you consider he was written into the story pretty late in development and was kind of an afterthought

Yup, sympathetic lawful evil. Very hard to write.

my only regret was not running back to save him in the apartment building. i’d been trained by so many other games that if the characters say he’s already dead and to run, i ran.
i felt like it was a kind of saving grace for my V though, where he was never forced to oppose Takemura at the end of the game. My V will always remember Takemura as the aloof, yet incredibly chill guy that he was :’)

Personally always hated the guy. Felt he just wanted to use V to get his spot in Arasaka back. The actor did do a wonderous job

I let >!him die in the part where the building collapses!< on both of my playthroughs because I had no idea I could >!save him!<. I vowed to go back and play again every since, but I still need to. He’s number 2 after Lucy fr though (not including Johnny).
