How long will I keep fighting...
within this blood-soaked vortex of the battlefield?
How long will I keep protecting...
within these infinite killings that will never end?
How long will I keep believing...
in this world filled with deception and fabrication?
How long will I keep telling lies...
while continually feeling despair at the bleak future?
Lost 1D.
Following regulations, 2B will assume the role of mission captain.
Lost 4B.
Enemy units confirmed ahead.
Engaging combat with a large enemy machine lifeform.
Requesting permission to assume mobile configuration.
Permission granted.
2B to Operator 6O.
All other allied units have been lost.
I expect problems in executing the mission. Awaiting orders.
O-Operator to 2B. Please rendezvous with 9S onsite and gather terrain intel.
Afterwards, follow original plans.
Seek to destroy the target, the Goliath-class weapon, and gather more information.
Roger.

- Heavy damage to Ho229 flight unit. - Flight-control systems abandoned.

Activating short-range attack gear.
Multiple enemy unit signals confirmed.
I can see that.
No matter how much you oil it up, it won't come back to life.
That should be it for disabling the enemy base defense system...
Looks like...
it's about to begin.
Just one unit? No ally units.
Operator 21O to 9S. Do you copy?
Yup, yup! I hear you!
You only need to acknowledge once.
Okay.
Confirmed infiltration of YoRHa Soldiers into enemy base from a descent operation.
However, only one unit remains.
That's quite an ordeal.
Contact with enemy defense weapons confirmed.
Please head over to assist the attack squadron that infiltrated.
Roger that.
And now...
Time to do my best at work!
Enemies destroyed.
No.
Is this... the target Goliath-class weapon?
Negative.
This enemy unit is not the target.
Quick eradication suggested.
It's easy for you to say.
Pod!
Gather energy! Close-range marksmanship mode at full power!
Warning: ordered...
Ordered attack puts a high load on the chassis—
Pod!
Fire!
Thirteen hours and 34 minutes of cooldown time required for another attack of a similar nature.
Confirmed enemy reboot.
Fire missiles.
It's dangerous if you don't make sure they're dead.
You're Miss 2B, right?
I'm 9S. I was given orders to support you.
Roger.
So...
Is this giant buzz saw the Goliath-class weapon that you're after?
It's not. Looks like it's just a defense unit.
Then it looks like we have to search for the target.
Yeah.
And we'll destroy the core unit.
Understood.
I have a flight unit, so I'll look around the perimeter.
I'll investigate inside the facility.
This place in the past...
was supposedly a weapons factory for humans.
The enemy seems to be using this factory
to increase the production of machine lifeforms.
What's that?
No enemy signals in this area.
There seem to be more enemies of this natures lately.
They just absentmindedly sit there.
I wonder what they’re doing?
There is no intel about sleep functions in machine lifeforms from the analysis team.
And machine lifeforms, unlike us androids, are simple—
9S.
Yes. What is it, Miss 2B?
Is that story necessary for this operation?
Oh, I'm sorry. It's been quite a while since I talked to anyone.
That's right.
I'll send you the map data that I collected earlier.
Roger.
Miss 2B. I'm happy.
About what?
We Scanners usually work alone, dealing with preliminary scouting.
I don't usually get a partner. It's kind of fun!
We are forbidden from harboring emotions.
Oh! I'm sorry.
And... You don't have to call me "Miss."
No honorifics are necessary for my name.
Understood.
2B!
Is something the matter?
It's nothing.
2B.
I have identified the location of the enemy core unit.
I will guide you there. Please keep proceeding forward.
Materials transferring from Block 43 to 12.
What's that?
They use data from the old world to generate random nonsense.
Thank you for another day's hard work. Please embrace the joys of labor.
There’s no meaning behind what machine lifeforms do.
This is strange.
The core unit is there, but I couldn't find any weapons that look like the target.
Does that mean the intel from Command was incorrect?
We'll see about that.
The target core unit is below that. Let's hurry.
It's easy for you to say.
Is that...
the core unit?
9S! The core unit is... outside...
2B! What's wrong?
Powerful jamming detected.
At this timing?
Alert. Enemy machine lifeforms.
Multiple units approaching.
Don't get...
in our way!
Core unit signal increasing from the building up ahead.
Can it be...
Target Goliath-class weapon found.
Pod, request backup from Command!
Communication is impossible due to radio jamming.
What the? Its movements...
Target Goliath-class weapon suspected to be incomplete.
If that's the case...
I will destroy it here!
Boost!
9S.
You brute force your way through battles, 2B.
Confirmed functional decrease of Goliath-class weapon.
Leave this part to me.
Hacking!
So this is the target Goliath-class weapon...
To think about going into battle against this solo...
I'm glad I made it in time.
9S.
Thank you.
A protective wall?
So the protective wall is this trivial...
Report. Enemy unit control infiltration route and vulnerability found.
Use that infiltration route to run a suspension program.
Roger. Ten seconds until execution.
The same type? What in the...
It's recovering a lot faster than I thought!
Watch out, 9S!
Target Goliath-class weapon has temporarily ceased functions.
9S black box signal detected. Not responding to communications.
I have to save 9S!
9S!
I'll repair you right now!
Pod! The staunching gel and the logic-virus vaccine, and...
The decrease in the subject's vitals cannot be stopped with triage done at this—
Shut up! Just give it to me!
2B... Just go...
Stay quiet!
We are soldiers.
We must take pride in our battles.
Unit Ho229, accepting command 677.
Transferred authorized user from 9S to 2B.
Requesting acknowledgement from 2B.
Please... Before the enemy reboots...
All right.
Confirmed decreasing vitals for 9S.
Pod. You came at a good time. Confirm the comm conditions.
Report. Radio jamming decreased due to weakening of the enemy.
Though unstable, laser comm is possible.
Take 2B's record data package...
Kill... Kill...
These beams...
And it's speaking words...
Pod! How are the controls?
Behavior table adjusted.
Balance controls overridden.
Enemy unit subjugation complete.
Pod! Disable subjugation for three seconds!
Roger.
Initiating re-subjugation.
Kill...
Just break down already!
You really do brute-force it, 2B.
Request support... from Command...
No, that doesn't...
seem necessary.
Kill...
- Kill... - Impossible.
Looks like things...
aren't going so well.
I'm done setting up.
Your black box, please.
All right.
Requesting annihilation of enemy Goliath-class weapon via black box reaction!
Request... Accepted.
2B.
It was an honor to fight alongside you.
The honor was mine.
All existence is designed to become extinct.
THIRTEENTH ORBITING SATELLITE BASE THE BUNKER
We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death.
Is this a curse... or is it punishment?
However...
If I am allowed to, I would like to make a wish.
For his happiness.
That is my...
The operation was a success.
The enemy Goliath-class weapon was destroyed, and the enemy-occupied territory—
9S.
Yes?
Thank you for uploading our data to the Bunker at the very end.
I'm sorry. I don't have memories about that.
I likely only had enough time to back up your data.
My memories
only go back to the point right before our rendezvous.
I see.
Glory to mankind.
Glory... to mankind.
Pod 042 reporting to all of mankind.
We will now execute the task
of introducing the multiple endings of the video game "NieR:Automata.” Over.
PUPPET PLAY NIER:AUTOMATA “2B AND 9S”
Yes, yes! Hello!
We are androids who fight for mankind day in and day out, YoRHa No. 9 Type S AKA 9S and...
Likewise, YoRHa No. 2 Type B AKA 2B.
We'll get right into it. The game "NieR:Automata" has multiple endings,
and there really are a lot of them!
So in this segment, we will show you the many endings in a slightly different way!
9S, we should start off by introducing ourselves a bit more.
Nice assist, Miss 2B!
Well, we YoRHa model androids have various types,
ALL SORTS OF TYPES? YoRHa MODELS
like "A" for Attacker, "B" for Battler, "D," "G," "H," "O," and "S" for Scanner like me.
ATTACKER TYPE - TYPE A
BATTLE TYPE - TYPE B
DEFENSE TYPE - TYPE D
GUNNER TYPE - TYPE G
HEALER TYPE - TYPE H
OPERATOR TYPE - TYPE O
SCANNER TYPE - TYPE S
HIDDEN TYPE - ?
There may even be other hidden models.
Miss 2B's "2" designates the rollout order for her type.
I am an ordinary combat model integrating Type A and Type G.
And only the YoRHa models are equipped with this black box!
This actually has a really amazing feature.
Miss 2B? Hey, w—
By self-destructing at the Bunker, the entire structure ended up exploding in a spectacular fashion. But hey, it sure did look pretty from Earth!
