Sandayu Oda

Sandayu Oda (Nihongo: 織田三太夫, Oda Sandayū) is a cyberninja bodyguard employed by the Arasaka corporation, currently assigned to protecting the heiress Hanako Arasaka, and the penultimate boss of Cyberpunk 2077's main story. Oda is an apprentice and good friend of Goro Takemura. He specializes in martial arts with the mantis blades. It is said that all he knows, he learnt from Takamura.

Biography
Sandayu Oda was trained by Goro Takemura in Tokyo, Japan and eventually became the personal bodyguard of Hanako Arasaka. In 2077, Oda accompanies Hanako to Night City to attend a parade to take place in Japantown. During this time Saburo Arasaka is murdered and Takemura is blamed for the murder. Takemura got in contact with Oda and set up a meeting stop with V to explain Yorinobu was at fault. As assumed, should he believe the story V has to tell, he would carry it to Hanako Arasaka next and start the chain of events leading to a change in leadership. Takemura believes Oda has no ulterior motives behind agreeing to meet with him, but explains that should he suspect treason, he wouldn't need any backup to deal with them on the spot.

Oda was willing to listen to what V has to say as a witness, although as soon as V brings out names and specifics, Oda believes it to be a lie and silences V. Oda leaves the location where V and Takemura were, not informing Arasaka of the sighting. Oda has no agenda or plans to stop them, his only concern was the Hanako's protection.

During the parade in Japantown, Oda speaks with Adam Smasher and is outraged at the lack of proper secruity and questions the choices made by Yorinobu. Once all snipers were defeated, Oda discovers V neutralizing the Arasaka Netrunner fights against them believing they are trying to kill Hanako. After Oda is defeated, Takemura asks V not to kill him and show mercy.

Dependent
If V kills Oda, Takemura will be upset and say it was not necessary.

In the Devil ending, if V showed mercy to Oda and Takemura is saved. Oda will accompany Hanako, Takemura, and V to the board of directors to testify. After Yorinobu sends soldiers to kill the board, Oda stays behind to protect Hanako and Michiko.

Game Entry

 * Hanako Arasaka's bodyguard who also happens to be a cyberninja trained by Takemura. He was supposed to be the key to solving V and Takemura's problems, but only ended up as one more threat among many. During their secret meeting at the docks, he declined their plea for help and gave them one last chance to leave the city. He's never further than a step away from Hanako, so it'll be difficult to reach her.
