My V doesn’t have any visible external cyberware except for the ports in the wrist and head that you get by default. She has enough internal chrome that she can sometimes be found covered in blood and laughing like a maniac in a street full of corpses.

Cause he had(has?) this foolproof plan to steal his sons body and become basically immortal through other means.

Probably gets genetic enhancements and age slowing stuff. But maybe too old for cybernetics. Keep in mind that he’s 158 years old in 2077. He was 104 in 2023. Why take the risk? People around him do everything for him as he orders. Plus, he grew up in 20th century Japan. Can’t get more conservative than that. He might he entirely uninterested in what he might view as unnatural and butchering his body. But idk
Moiahahahah

I think he does have cyberware life support stuff that you just don’t see. (reinforced spine, heart, etc). I don’t think it’s just medicine that’s kept him around for ≈200 years. The top of the line ware probably is basically invisible to the naked eye.

Cyberware can be hacked and targeted, he has no need for combat or netrunning capabilities he has people for that. He probably has cyberware but unique and hidden that cannot be seen or accessed by any network.

Isn’t the more important question why he hasn’t squeezed that bulb on his head out?

Why bother?
You get cyberware to fight better. His wageslaves get it to meet their KPIs.
He just needs to oversee his company. He doesn’t need it, so why get it.

I believe he should have a cybernetic eye and arm, as he lost them in WW2 and replaced them later.

In the 2020 books, Saburo was stated to have a little bit of cyberware, mostly to replace the damaged parts of his body from his time as a pilot in WW2.
The cyberarm is of note, as the 2020 art of Saburo shows him having a right-sided cyberarm, but the lore states his *left* arm was the damaged one, so I think the art is just inaccurate.
In any case, as for where it is in 2077 … I have no idea. He was also wheelchair bound in 2020, so I don’t know for *sure* how he’s walking 50 years later. Maybe he got far better cybernetic improvements, or medical tech really just has progressed that much already, or shit who knows maybe Saburō already used the Relic 2.0 on himself first to put himself in a new body (But then idk why he’d pick an older body). So, yeah, I don’t really have a good answer for that.
Hope this helps!

Age and most likely has a boomer mindset about tech in his body.

Financial means. Means, he has every cyberware he might need, just not visibly. Because money is not an issue.

I’d assume he has a lot of internal cybernetics which keep him alive, cause I’m pretty sure he’s in his 150s in the game. Otherwise, he doesn’t really need any overt cybernetics. What’s he gonna do? Fight? Like he doesn’t have an army of bodyguards brainwashed into worshipping and dying for him. He’s also a megalomaniac with a massive superiority complex and thinks he’s better than every other human. He would never stoop so low as to do what the unwashed masses do.

He has one cybernetic eye, his left one. He lost the eye during WWIi, according to the cannon. But according to the tabletop he has multiple just nothing fancy that can’t be covered. Relatively speaking he has some of the most basic, but with money you don’t need cyberware. Just need a decked out ninja body guard.

But seriously dude will have top end Bioware and probably cloned, cyber or synth organs in there.
Dude doesnt need to be Borged out and have that strain on his ancient ass. He has minions for that!
EmotionalWerewolf271
Probably he only has basic cyberware, I was thinking it might be an anti-netrunning thing, what’s the best anti virus? Not having a PC, now swap anti virus with ICE and PC with cyberware

In the 2020 books, Saburo was stated to have a little bit of cyberware, mostly to replace the damaged parts of his body from his time as a pilot in WW2.
The full list is:
Basic processor, chipware socket, data-term link, nanosurgeons, basic cyberoptic, Times Square Marquee, basic cyberarm, cyberaudio, phonesplice, scrambler, bug detector.
