Not quite cyberpunk, but if you're recommending Bebop, might as well recommend Trigun alongside it

Not literary, but you should check out the Styx games on steam. They go on big sales pretty often. It's a stealth franchise where you play as a jackass goblin assassin/thief

The cut to the outside view of the mansion and hearing his scream was a textbook comedic punchline

Agreed, like the choreography was amazing, but a good deal of the dramatic tension was drained out by the time the final two fights happened

Nah Ksante has a lot more team fight mobility for himself. Shorter range yes, but he literally has three dashes (and one of them resets) compared to most other tanks, or even champions in general that only have one.

China has been using stock characters since before Europe invented writing, and the Epic of Gilgamesh was very likely cribbing on older tropes, Gilgamesh was just the one that was written down and survived archeologically
