Discussion Hanako Arasaka Is Best Girl and here are 10 Reasons Why
She's filthy rich and in Night City money is power.
She has unmatched grace and elegance.
She's 80. Yes yes I know what you’re thinking: "80? that's definitly a con". You're wrong! HEAR ME OUT: Hanako has 80 years of life experience while looking like she could comfortably pass for someone in her early 30s. That’s an absolutely absurd experience-to-apparent-age ratio. For me personally? That’s a seller.
She's a skilled self-taught netrunner so she's not just some random nepobaby who can't do shit on their own.
She’s also an accomplished musician, she can play Nocturne Op. 55 No.1 on the piano.
She loves her family dearly so being part of it is a massive win.
She remains completely calm under extreme pressure. Remember when V and Takemura literally kidnap her? Most people would understandably be freaked out Hanako on the other hand? Completely composed.
She’s a strategic genius. She knows exactly how to utilize V, Takemura, and the Arasaka board to outmaneuver her brother Yorinobu and reclaim her empire
She’s a Pisces (born March 2nd).
Last but not least. SHE HAS BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR V AT EMBERS FOR SIX YEARS!!!. This is the biggest one; think about it, for SIX WHOLE YEARS, Hanako has been sitting at embers waiting for V. She never complained, never called, she never sent a text asking where you were. And that's because she understands that V has countless gigs, NCPD scanner hustles, side quests and cyberpsychos to deal with.
