RIP Wasabi. A confused decker whose head exploded (luckily) before his stomach could.

A heavyset decker with a belly yellower than a baby chick, Wasabi somehow managed to survive traveling through Japan, Spain, and the messy streets of unincorporated cities. Then, after his team defeated one of their biggest nemeses, they received a strange phone call from a mystery man who wanted to meet with them and give them something they would “find important”. They elected to meet at the hibachi bar where “nothing ever happens” (3 people had been killed on 3 separate occasions there, lol).

Upon arriving, a sniper shot Wasabi’s drug addict partner Wraith, who looked over at Wasabi as he lay bleeding, only to see Wasabi’s head explode into 5,432 pieces. Epic way to die, but I stayed wondering what the scene looked like in Wraith’s drug-induced reality.
