Blade Runner 2029 #5: Plot Summary
When we last left off on Blade Runner 2029, we saw Yotun and his cronies blowing up an airship full of Los Angeles’ rich elite, along with the seawall keeping the sea at bay. Now we see the local reaction to it, and it’s not much. To be specific: the average person on the street pay no mind to it, and get on with their lives. That’s probably going to change though, when Yotun goes through with his plans. Apparently, he wants to reverse the situation between humans and Replicants, and have Replicants enslave humans. Yeah, an eye for an eye, and all that. After murdering a bunch of police officers and taking a police Spinner, he heads off to do exactly that. Starting with one particular human in mind.
And that’s when we finally learn what happened to Aahna “Ash” Ashina after the Replicant who tried to help her escape got a terminal case of a bullet to the brain.
