In/Consistencies

 * SAMURAI: 2020 - 2023?
 * Headcanon: Samurai split in 2008, but did simply a reunion tour in 2020, releasing the Chippin' In album as their greatest hits. Afterwards they returned to their solo carrers, with Johnny and Kerry still touring together sometimes. Pros: Lore sometimes points they never formally reunited. Cons: 2020 reunion, plus Black Dog (2023 "release") mentioned as a Samurai song not just Johnny's, unlike Never Fade Away album cover. = Likely to just be a big inconsistency.
 * Kerry in Holdin' On talks as if the memories were true, plus as if Samurai never achieved big success as "unreliable" sources mention (memory loss?). He also talks as if Johnny didn't knew Nancey had changed her name despite doing so in 2008, 15 years prior Johnny's death. Plus the Samurai album dates in the mansion are not accurate to the band's lifespan nor order of release. = Likely to just be a big inconsistency.
 * Answer: Talsorian, future RED releases, or more 2077 fixes :/
 * Two dams?
 * It is never mentioned there are two different dams. One is older than other. One old one holds no water and looks abandoned.
 * Answer: Coronado Dam was built in the 20th century and was eventually dried up and used as a landfill.
 * Headcanon: Petrochem was the first one built, unfortunately the waste of the nearby landfill filtered into the water, contaminating it. After realizing, they built another dam to cleanse the reservoir while emptying the most toxic water. It work and the water become less toxic than it was, but the landfill grew so much it eventually fell into the emptied basin.

Theories

 * Greetings from nowhere - Here's Johnny! + Rogue son's father | She wasn't that surprised knowing about Johnny, or was she? Could be Santiago alternatively though she was never interested in him :& Another character?
 * Mike confirmed the father is Santiago but it hasn't been added into the canon yet.
 * During "The Fall of the Towers," Spider hit the dying Silverhand with Soulkiller via a chip Alt had given her long ago. This chip was later found by Arasaka and stored in Mikoshi.
 * The Rache found in the refrigerator is a random netrunner who found Rache's stash. Died when trying to access it and got the body trapped in the freezer. The coolbox was eventually tossed along with his body.
 * JGray mentions in the Discord that no one confirmed the body was Rache's. Plus, Johnny is unreliable, as always. :sus:
 * Pondsmith on Reddit: "There's a very important clue in Never Fade Away that explains part of Johnny's reaction, and an even larger clue in the story Black Dog in Cyberpunk RED. Hint: Never borrow one of Johnny's Malorians."
 * The Malorian "creates almost cyberpsycho levels of feedback, damping down the user's normal emotional reaction to combat situations, and giving them a robot-like control." When he shot Toshiro he wasn't completely himself due to the gun. If he hadn't had the Malorian, Alt would still be alive? Was Johnny's eventual fate to become a cyberpsycho? Was he already a cyberpsycho? Or at least when wielding the gun? Did any of this temper with his memories?

Peralez

 * Dream On + The Rescue + Full Disclosure + Path of Glory = Night Corp & Mr. Blue Eyes are controlled by rogue AIs from beyond the Blackwall.
 * Rhyne was an obstacle for the AIs' plans due to his popularity. They used Weldon Holt to end him, making it easier for Peralez to win the election. Alternatively, Holt was a red herring, and they simply manipulated others to kill Rhyne. It's likely they manipulated other people, like 6th Street, to support Jeff. While controlling Elizabeth, they made use of V to convince Jeff was in danger and so he would reinforce the security, making it easier to convert him. Unfortunately, Jeff saw one of the "agents" and the couple contacted V to investigate, the "agents" hoping they could fool V and ease Jeff's worries. V found the truth, and Elizabeth tried to stop V from telling Jeff about it. Doesn't matter in the end, as Jeff will always become a puppet. Truth = unstable puppet; Lie = docile puppet.
