In case anyone hasn't seen it Kira Buckland (ENG 2B) and Kyle McCarley (ENG 9S) did a reading of the first concert, with the epilogue in character that Kyle published on his channel: ua-cam.com/video/yF0y083mMHA/v-deo.html
I would agree but at the same time. They do release stuff that is limited release for many years now. They have more drama cds coming out that are only available in japanese, plays, concerts, manga, novels etc. It's unfortunate but it's how they make money. Lol
If your surprised you don't know Yoko taro he'd put lore or an alternate ending or a retcon on bottle caps and claim it as cannon on a limited time soda only sold in one japanese province
Besides capitalism I’d also like to point out that this is a creative effort, the medium, in a way, defines the story; this shouldn’t be unfamiliar territory as creative usage of the chosen medium is one of Yoko Taro’s hallmarks. This guy literally plays with the game’s perspective to emphasise the importance of perspective both in the plot and narrative. GFB even makes a remark about how the audience is left to their imagination, which I’d argue is exactly the point. In a way asking Yoko Taro to solely stick to videogames is akin to asking Prince to solely stick to a single instrument, incredibly stifling their creativity and, I’d wager, detrimental to their respective oeuvre.
@@TeQxktcg Yeah, Yoko Taro is a madter mind story creator. He don't need one media to tell a story. Also, Japanese stories always has stageplays, cds, etc.
AYO I also went to the Boston Concert. I live close so it was so fortunate that I was able to attend. The way it interweaves with Replicant’s history was some of my favorite stuff, I personally LOVE Replicant and I was so happy that it wasn’t left out compared to Automata. I think it makes enough sense that Aliens knew about Shadowlord because they (or likely Machine-kind) take an interest in human history. Seeing 9S and 2B basically interact with Replicant stuff to the point they BASICALLY meet Louise was so interesting to me. Truly an experience like no other. This was a great analysis, keep up the good work!
As much i want more about 2B, 9S and most A2, but a game between were we fight the red eyes army would be so cool! Between Dragengard End E and Nier, there is so much time to explore and see!
@@michelbro8727 Yoko Taro actually did it in NieR Reincarnation. That's why fans said to him. Make the Game where Hina & Yuzuki who are the member of japana force fight against Legons. Literally, the game just after Drakegard Ending E & Before NieR Emil & kaine.
emils head is easy to explain. Remember we are shown that emil replicated himself and in automata we see he made a giant head version of himself. Im willing to bet the head on the poster is one of emils many bodies that perished during the alien war
Random overthinking 1) Seeing this quote of 9S 2B travelling together around world is a good thing it sort of mirror the concert event travelling the world, maybe thats their idea of the places the couple went while finding repairs (if we ignore how they get there) 2) Pods are absent or never said any, probably either the anime or stayed behind to keep watch at home 3) im not surprised when shipping 9S2B goes in joy after all, it is a love story 4) whenever the dragon is mentioned, it leads to an end of an opinion of something like how we perceive a subject, eg. anime showing the robots complex learning when we thought they are mindless robots (easter egg yet it is included) or indirect giving mindblowing lore to the characters, eg why is project gestalt created, why it includes the dragon
I went back in March when there was a stop in Atlanta. Yoko Taro showed up and complemented the Fox and then punked us by saying the show wasn’t over yet before playing Kaine’s theme. It was one of the best things I’ve done in 2024.
Commercialy wise, it would make sense to bring back these characters. It's not the depth of the story that atracts me, and I definitely don't like YT's cyberzen timelines BS. What I love are the characters, and I just wanted them to pick one damn timeline, save the flowers and make out in the end. Nietsche can kiss my rear, "kiss the damn hot girl" is all the meaning I require. In my dreams, I guess.
I know that for many this is probably the last thing people care about, but the romance is what I’m here for. I’ve only watched the anime, but I have gone into Reddit posts, UA-cam videos, and etc, so that I could put my mind at ease. I’m sucker for romance so I keep telling my self that they care for each other in that aspect, but nothing is confirmed and it’s been left up to us to interpret it our way. The way I see it, 2b and everyone else were told that emotions were forbidden, meaning they weren’t taught about emotions such as love. In both 2b and 9s case I feel like they do care for each other romantically they just don’t know it exactly because they don’t actually know the different types of love and how each type is expressed differently. I’m really hoping that they soon realize their feelings for each other(although I’m pretty sure 9s does lover her romantically) but I really doubt that their relationship is gonna be explored much IF the series is decided to continue.
Yoko taro i think has explained that it is a love story. But I always saw it the same way as you. With how much they were told emotions are prohibited. They weren't able to figure out with what to do with their feelings. Leaving it to sometimes be bad/toxic relationship in different ways of looking at it. But I liked to think that their relationship can be explored in hopefully healthy ways going forward.
I just finished the anime (never played any of the games) and wow.. didnt expect this to earn a special place in my heart. id love to know the entire story in order but i cant find any videos covering that completely
If you watched the anime you got the entire story in order. It does a very good job at covering the game. If you want more, your best bet is playing Nier Replicant and then Nier Automata (to have the full story with side quests). You can easily find Drakengard 1 and 3 playthrough and retrospectives all over UA-cam.
I just bought P1S 1/3 2B statue before the anime was finished. Now I have the same thought of this video, where is A2? She really deserved it's own statue. Maybe Kainé's too. Really love this two character.
6:17 Also didn't tell that 9S realised that he never had a reason to hate machines and didn't kill machines in ending D. I miss the old godfire videos of anime part 1. 😂
@@GodFireBreakdowns Yeah, that's the thing, He reaslised his mistakes. Like people always realise their mistakes after the bad thing has happened. Like reincarnation.
@@jackgerambo The line 9S said machines, Androids, A2 took 2B away from him, is to show that 9S was just angry on all of them. Both in the game & novel it is explained that in Ending D while talking to Adam 9S realised he never hate an actual reason to hate machines. This is the reason why people hate 9S, they don't understand the narrative & they even change the narrative according to their liking. In NieR concert 12020, 9S desires for 2B is explained and yet people call him bad.
a2 didn't show up in this play. remember who's memories she has. also remember that kainé said she had her own stuff to deal with at the very end of route a in replicant and we all saw how that ended. on a side note this blackbox shard thing fixing 2b's box felt even cheaper than the 9s blackbox magic epilogue from before
A2 don't have kaine's memories. 😆 People also say A2 is zero. After all Yoko Taro is the father of all of them so people like to connet them. some people also say 2B more like kaine cause she has her dress. Lol
@@jackgerambo has it actually been outright said that a2 doesn't have kaine's memories? as far as I know it's been implied that she does but not confirmed or denied. also the 2b being more like kaine just because she had her outfit in a dlc makes no sense. do people actually believe that?
@@aarontrupiano9328 Yeah, A2 having kaine's memories is just a theory. But many many many people spread this as it's a lore fact. some people even say A2 ISkaine. lol Just one "grandma" word she said & everyone goes with that, like kaine is the only person in the world who has grandma. I watched the Yorha stagepay & novel story came after this. I will be honest. A2 don't has kaine's memories. Also, about 2B kaine thing, I am giving an example that people just make things & soon everyone on internet starts saying that second hand information. NieR has so many wrong info on internet.
@@jackgerambo I'm just saying there are an awful lot of coincidences with the a2 kainé memory thing. a2 has memories of a young woman who lived on a farm with her grandma. it's awfully convenient that out of all the old human memories she could have received during her construction, the ones she got match up pretty darn close to kainé's. also note kainé's interaction with the memory tree at the end of replicant. it just doesn't add up. Therefore until there is an official word that she does not have them, this will continue to be taken as fact by the community.
I'm pretty sure that the bunker/alien space ship is inside (or a transformed version) of Sleeping Beauty. I've always thought that the biology of the aliens and the machine lifeforms were weird, them being "plant-like" makes it seem like they're similar to the machines within Sleeping Beauty in Replicant. Could shades have survived that long? And is it possible that the Shadow Lord wrote that message (it was probably a machine with his data that did it)? Could it have been Brother Nier, after he was "reborn" (he probably had similar biology to the aliens/machines/Yorha since he was born from the flower, just speculating)? Could Emil or Nier have "created" the aliens, instead of them coming from space? The description of the space ship and the city just sounds like the inside of Sleeping beauty, and a replicant of Japan from the beginning of Replicant (or maybe it's the real one, and Kaine's shack is somewhere in there). I think the Emil head on the promotional art is something they stumble across after deciding to "break the cycle", and that Emil played a role in how things are now. I also wonder where A2 is. I definitely think it takes place after the last concert, and that it aligns with the game timeline (unless that was already confirmed to be separate, idk). Can't be the Anime since there are no resistance members left there. Those are my thoughts lol.
It is a interesting theory. I like your ideas you have here! I'm curious on your thought process on emil and nier creating the aliens. What made you think of this?
@@GodFireBreakdowns I just noticed that every misfortunate thing that happened in the series is usually a direct result of the protagonists actions (or humanity in general). I figured it would be on brand for Nier and gang not only causing the end of humanity, but causing the end/begining of the whole cycle to begin with. I also remember Replicant bodies being similar to plants (i.e. the aliens/machines and Yorha). Seeing how Nier was born from the flower, and that the space ships are underground where Sleeping Beauty was, it makes me think that something the protagonists did caused aliens to become a thing (plus the machine lifeforms look like Emil). I haven't put much thought into it tbh, there being Shades in the fake bunker and the Shadow Lords words on the wall made me think towards this direction. It could just be aliens though lol.
I always wonder why the android always think about they curse or have a sin to repented and don't cross they mind that we as human create them to suffer like they don't blame us they just look inside themselfs and keep wonder what is wrong with them and don't point finger at us .
10:14 yeah "Eden" This concert came before anime part 2. I was so excited to talk about but didn't want to spoil as I am a very big spoiler boy for everyone. 😂
Well now I'm all caught up. Hahahaha since I was going to the show I didn't want to be spoiled about anything. And true the concert came out before the anime. But they came out around the same time. So it wouldn't surprise me if yoko taro had did that on purpose.
Yeah I forgot to mentioned that but it was another theory as well. But same thing I thought it is still white. I know the alien spaceships have black spheres. You can actually see it in this video when 2B and 9S go to the spaceship if you look up.
Personally, I think that 'End of data' is an continuation of "Farewell" epilogue, in the game branch of the timeline. And If its not, is ok too. Nier timeline have so many and many loops in timeline. Sometimes, the loop could created an New branch of the timeline, sometimes the same New history could be an continuation of the same branch. The possibilites of parallel universes of timelines is infinite. And Farewell epilogue could exist or not in all branches by father, or brother Nier and etc. (Except 1.1a anime. The Farewell epilogue is Impossible in this branch) After that. I am Very jeaoulosy about this Concert. I am musician, and this tour is very, Very far to me yet :/ Its a little frustating to me... I saw some Photos of Other people, and The vibe of the Concert was astuning. many, and many people sharing toghether the same feeling about One same things. Strangers talking Photos toghether, Making New friendshp, and etc. I want to stay is this love ambience too. Congrats for your incredible experience and for sharing this in someway. Im Very jeaoulosy. But I am happy because this experience this. 😊 Is Very beautiful 9S not going Crazy by 2B dying in your hands and prays for her, to take his life instead her. Is beautiful for 2B can say goodbye for 9s within toghether with him. This reminds a Lot of Repeating prayer, history. But this time, There is no War. There is only Desires do stay with your beloved. Nier Automata is an love story of 2B and 9S. And this "End of data" is that I Desired in First place when i played the game for the First time in route C: Surviving toghether Aganist the World. That was the last Commander order too. Automata is an love story. And End of Data confirms that.
I listened to this at work so a rushed comment; it seemed to me the black sphere represents the collective unconscious, analogous to the void in alchemy. The way I see it the scene is an interpretation of squaring the circle, or I guess more aptly boxing the sphere; it’s said that only the chosen or alternatively only the worthy are able to synthesise the philosopher’s stone, when 2B integrates those other units I think she transcends her being, she ascertains true self, in other words the philosopher’s stone, or in other other words divinity.
16:32 Think about it. Black box made from machine core, a plant cell. Zero was affected by a fragment of Black flower. Who knows if Aliens found a part of black flower & used it's power to make machine cores. After all " flowers " are also some kind of alien species on a planet in a story in Reincarnation. F yoko Taro my head is blowing 😂
If it was the black flower. That is REALLY bad. I'm not sure what the chances are it is that. But that would be very very bad. It is a interesting idea though.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Oh!!! I got a new thought. Imagine if the Black shpere that cursed 2B is actually related to how black flower will be created in future and then spend to drakengard time. Zinnia also talked about Dragons being deployed in kindom of noon. It's confirmed that NieR Draken timeline is a loop in Nier Reincarnation. 2B 9S also said something about break this chain of this world and then we have Accord. Damn, I hope Yoko Taro is planning for a multiverse type game like Bayonetta. We get to see & play all characters again. 😋
Can u please clarify me with this one .. [ 7:10 to 9:00 ] the end of data is something that happened in the past ? Or did 2b and 9s got infected again in the future 😢? And all the infected were laughing
2B actually talked to A2 about what happened when 2B was dead. I think A2 is the one who didn't want to talk to 2B 9S more. Also, A2 couldn't repair herself in pascals village, she was helpless, & she survived for 4 years alone is lol. This is just plot of the story. So relax Godfire 😆
@@GodFireBreakdowns Ahh, in the puppet show concert they said "according to what they have learnt from A2 " now we need to do this & " thing thing happened when I was death " Also, A2 is the old model, 9S said we new yorha are so different, our parts are different.
Sorry, I don't remember what puppet show you are talking about? Also, when you mention 9S said older models aren't compatible, what reference is that from? Mine is strictly from the latest concert when he talks about specifically the resistance.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Oh yeah, sorry, I was just remembering the memories of puppet show act 2 or 3. A2 survived using parts of new gen androids for her old gen body but 2B 9S can't do that. A2 also just replace her broken parts but 2B 9S need internal repairs. Actually, A2 should be in this journey cause she needs parts too, now that all yorha are dead by virus. Damn why yoko taro why wast. I wanted people to see that how cute 2B 9S A2 are together. A2 teasing 2B using '9S is sooo cute', damn yoko taro. God! cute things are never shown on big scale. Only japan exclusive.
It's kind of up for interpretation. I saw it as the humans were the androids "gods" and the aliens were the machines gods. But they both evolved and had to adapted without their gods.
I think it's more metaphor, philosophical however you want to put it. Hahaha. I always thought no matter who it was. She would like to kill whoever put them on this cycle. And can't blame her.
@@GodFireBreakdowns I think it's obvious 2B said it. Gods are the villains here. Drakengard 1 " No more gods, we are free now " Drakengard 3, Gods decided to kill humanity. why? Gods " I just want to kill " 😂 This is the vision of Yoko Taro. People believe in god but what if Gods are your enemy. Whom you how believe in then? what will you do? Peak Yoko Taro!
15:46 Godfire always ignores that A2 is the biggest genocidal character of NieR Automata. lol 😄 But I agree, 2B & 9S always says, " is it for our sins " They said it in every nier concert & drama too. They say is since the Zinnia tragedy.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Ohhhhhhh, Good one, nice. I should be saying biggest sexiest beautiful genocidal android. Sorry N1N2, I forgot your all hard work. Xd
@GodFireBreakdowns also was wondering about something else it's the side stories that's mentioned in neir reincarnation regarding both the flower that appeared through an experiment and the dragon replicant girl Is there a potential that they took a place in the night kingdom? From what I have seen in the flower's side story The world had no plants, since a plant needs the sun's light to grow alongside other factors There in the night kingdom they have no light So the scientists wanted to grow a plant Being the lunar tear flower which later became a flower that lives on humans blood Which brings us to the Rose that made zero an intoner. Same thing for the dragon replicant girl who wandered around in both night and light kingdoms
As I F*** love all characters, I hate Yolo Taro don't make more stories for A2. But it was obvious A2 will not be in this concert cause she's not in tbe poster.
Alright, crack theory time: what if this is some elaborate prologue to a Nier x Kingdom Hearts crossover and this somehow gets caught into Kingdom Hearts IV, Squeenix has made YorHa Dark Apocalypse canon so it’s on the table…
In case anyone hasn't seen it Kira Buckland (ENG 2B) and Kyle McCarley (ENG 9S) did a reading of the first concert, with the epilogue in character that Kyle published on his channel: ua-cam.com/video/yF0y083mMHA/v-deo.html
Meanwhile A2: guess I'm a background character now
that's just rude. Lol
That's what I have been saying since " Memories of puppet " concert. If you do a farewell, do it for all characters Yoko Taro!!!!
@@jackgeramboUnless he’s cooking something up for A2 in the future.
I hope three of them woke up together 😢
Shame I liked her
Still crazy to me that they'd continue such a widely popular story in this form, with extremely limited access too.
I would agree but at the same time. They do release stuff that is limited release for many years now. They have more drama cds coming out that are only available in japanese, plays, concerts, manga, novels etc. It's unfortunate but it's how they make money. Lol

Therefore until there is an official word that she does not have them, this will continue to be taken as fact by the community.
I'm pretty sure that the bunker/alien space ship is inside (or a transformed version) of Sleeping Beauty. I've always thought that the biology of the aliens and the machine lifeforms were weird, them being "plant-like" makes it seem like they're similar to the machines within Sleeping Beauty in Replicant.
Could shades have survived that long? And is it possible that the Shadow Lord wrote that message (it was probably a machine with his data that did it)? Could it have been Brother Nier, after he was "reborn" (he probably had similar biology to the aliens/machines/Yorha since he was born from the flower, just speculating)?
Could Emil or Nier have "created" the aliens, instead of them coming from space?
The description of the space ship and the city just sounds like the inside of Sleeping beauty, and a replicant of Japan from the beginning of Replicant (or maybe it's the real one, and Kaine's shack is somewhere in there).
I think the Emil head on the promotional art is something they stumble across after deciding to "break the cycle", and that Emil played a role in how things are now.
I also wonder where A2 is.
I definitely think it takes place after the last concert, and that it aligns with the game timeline (unless that was already confirmed to be separate, idk). Can't be the Anime since there are no resistance members left there.
Those are my thoughts lol.
It is a interesting theory. I like your ideas you have here! I'm curious on your thought process on emil and nier creating the aliens. What made you think of this?
@@GodFireBreakdowns I just noticed that every misfortunate thing that happened in the series is usually a direct result of the protagonists actions (or humanity in general). I figured it would be on brand for Nier and gang not only causing the end of humanity, but causing the end/begining of the whole cycle to begin with. I also remember Replicant bodies being similar to plants (i.e. the aliens/machines and Yorha). Seeing how Nier was born from the flower, and that the space ships are underground where Sleeping Beauty was, it makes me think that something the protagonists did caused aliens to become a thing (plus the machine lifeforms look like Emil).
I haven't put much thought into it tbh, there being Shades in the fake bunker and the Shadow Lords words on the wall made me think towards this direction. It could just be aliens though lol.
And thats the end of 9s2b story. Come on Yoko Taro, give us new game with at least the same quality of Automata 😭
Agreed!!!! Give us more!
I always wonder why the android always think about they curse or have a sin to repented and don't cross they mind that we as human create them to suffer like they don't blame us they just look inside themselfs and keep wonder what is wrong with them and don't point finger at us .
10:14 yeah "Eden" This concert came before anime part 2. I was so excited to talk about but didn't want to spoil as I am a very big spoiler boy for everyone. 😂
Well now I'm all caught up. Hahahaha since I was going to the show I didn't want to be spoiled about anything. And true the concert came out before the anime. But they came out around the same time. So it wouldn't surprise me if yoko taro had did that on purpose.
Finally get to see the light of day of what their destiny's are
Right we get a somewhat closure.
0:10 Hi Johnny
16:34 could also be the forbidden Ferrero Rocher / sphere that created anogg from the neir raids in ffxiv (still white not black)
oh nvm it is a seed of destruction.
Yeah I forgot to mentioned that but it was another theory as well. But same thing I thought it is still white. I know the alien spaceships have black spheres. You can actually see it in this video when 2B and 9S go to the spaceship if you look up.
Personally, I think that 'End of data' is an continuation of "Farewell" epilogue, in the game branch of the timeline.
And If its not, is ok too. Nier timeline have so many and many loops in timeline.
Sometimes, the loop could created an New branch of the timeline, sometimes the same New history could be an continuation of the same branch. The possibilites of parallel universes of timelines is infinite.
And Farewell epilogue could exist or not in all branches by father, or brother Nier and etc.
(Except 1.1a anime. The Farewell epilogue is Impossible in this branch)
After that. I am Very jeaoulosy about this Concert. I am musician, and this tour is very, Very far to me yet :/
Its a little frustating to me...
I saw some Photos of Other people, and The vibe of the Concert was astuning. many, and many people sharing toghether the same feeling about One same things. Strangers talking Photos toghether, Making New friendshp, and etc.
I want to stay is this love ambience too.
Congrats for your incredible experience and for sharing this in someway. Im Very jeaoulosy. But I am happy because this experience this. 😊
Is Very beautiful 9S not going Crazy by 2B dying in your hands and prays for her, to take his life instead her.
Is beautiful for 2B can say goodbye for 9s within toghether with him.
This reminds a Lot of Repeating prayer, history.
But this time, There is no War. There is only Desires do stay with your beloved.
Nier Automata is an love story of 2B and 9S.
And this "End of data" is that
I Desired in First place when i played the game for the First time in route C:
Surviving toghether Aganist the World.
That was the last Commander order too.
Automata is an love story. And End of Data confirms that.
Also, would you be reviewing Yoko Taro's anime original? Kami Erabi God App
I have never heard of it. I will go look it up now!
@@GodFireBreakdowns Let’s just say at the end of 1st cour I was expecting giant babies to fall from the sky 😆
Ummmm what? Lol you have peaked my interest lol
The glowing black boxes i think are references to the reincarnation prayers.
I'm not to familiar with that. I'll have to look it up. Also nice user name! I loved Yue from cardcaptors ahhaha
I listened to this at work so a rushed comment; it seemed to me the black sphere represents the collective unconscious, analogous to the void in alchemy. The way I see it the scene is an interpretation of squaring the circle, or I guess more aptly boxing the sphere; it’s said that only the chosen or alternatively only the worthy are able to synthesise the philosopher’s stone, when 2B integrates those other units I think she transcends her being, she ascertains true self, in other words the philosopher’s stone, or in other other words divinity.
This is a new theory. And an interesting one. I like how far out of the box you went with this.
16:32 Think about it. Black box made from machine core, a plant cell. Zero was affected by a fragment of Black flower. Who knows if Aliens found a part of black flower & used it's power to make machine cores. After all " flowers " are also some kind of alien species on a planet in a story in Reincarnation.
F yoko Taro my head is blowing 😂
If it was the black flower. That is REALLY bad. I'm not sure what the chances are it is that. But that would be very very bad. It is a interesting idea though.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Oh!!! I got a new thought. Imagine if the Black shpere that cursed 2B is actually related to how black flower will be created in future and then spend to drakengard time. Zinnia also talked about Dragons being deployed in kindom of noon. It's confirmed that NieR Draken timeline is a loop in Nier Reincarnation. 2B 9S also said something about break this chain of this world and then we have Accord.
Damn, I hope Yoko Taro is planning for a multiverse type game like Bayonetta. We get to see & play all characters again. 😋
Thank you so much. Did you play the Voice of cards 1-3
No is that another yoko taro game?
@@GodFireBreakdowns yap I hope you love it
Man... I should have flown to KL when they came to SEA
Can u please clarify me with this one .. [ 7:10 to 9:00 ] the end of data is something that happened in the past ? Or did 2b and 9s got infected again in the future 😢? And all the infected were laughing
This whole story takes place after ending e of the game. And then when I talk about the virus it's a flashback to route c.
@GodFireBreakdowns tysm ☺️
Personally I feel it continues from the 2017 concert. Seems to fit well from there.
Yeah it more than likely is. But you just never know anymore lol.
2B actually talked to A2 about what happened when 2B was dead. I think A2 is the one who didn't want to talk to 2B 9S more. Also, A2 couldn't repair herself in pascals village, she was helpless, & she survived for 4 years alone is lol. This is just plot of the story. So relax Godfire 😆
When did 2B talk to A2?
@@GodFireBreakdowns Ahh, in the puppet show concert they said "according to what they have learnt from A2 " now we need to do this & " thing thing happened when I was death "
Also, A2 is the old model, 9S said we new yorha are so different, our parts are different.
Sorry, I don't remember what puppet show you are talking about?
Also, when you mention 9S said older models aren't compatible, what reference is that from? Mine is strictly from the latest concert when he talks about specifically the resistance.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Oh yeah, sorry, I was just remembering the memories of puppet show act 2 or 3. A2 survived using parts of new gen androids for her old gen body but 2B 9S can't do that. A2 also just replace her broken parts but 2B 9S need internal repairs.
Actually, A2 should be in this journey cause she needs parts too, now that all yorha are dead by virus. Damn why yoko taro why wast. I wanted people to see that how cute 2B 9S A2 are together. A2 teasing 2B using '9S is sooo cute', damn yoko taro. God! cute things are never shown on big scale. Only japan exclusive.
Oh I just watched memories of puppets to make this video too. A2 wasn't there. She was mentioned but she wasn't physically there at all.
So there will be a season 3?
As of right now there is no announcement on anything new with nier.
I wonder if crossover events like ffxiv connected to this
Saw it in Los Angeles.
Very cool. I missed that one. It would have been smarter and less expensive going to that one hahaha
May be this battle causes the calamity and let DOD universe become dark fantasy.
A2? Well walking around as usually....
Could be? We shall now just have to wait and see.
8:10
So what is the god that 2B wants to kill? I never understood this, even as a long time fan I never got this.
It's kind of up for interpretation. I saw it as the humans were the androids "gods" and the aliens were the machines gods. But they both evolved and had to adapted without their gods.
@@GodFireBreakdowns
I always thought of the humans as well, but if that is the case why would she want to kill them?
I think it's more metaphor, philosophical however you want to put it. Hahaha. I always thought no matter who it was. She would like to kill whoever put them on this cycle. And can't blame her.
@@GodFireBreakdowns I think it's obvious 2B said it. Gods are the villains here.
Drakengard 1 " No more gods, we are free now "
Drakengard 3, Gods decided to kill humanity. why? Gods " I just want to kill " 😂
This is the vision of Yoko Taro. People believe in god but what if Gods are your enemy. Whom you how believe in then? what will you do? Peak Yoko Taro!
It's a very nietzsche. As he has made tons of references on.
15:46 Godfire always ignores that A2 is the biggest genocidal character of NieR Automata. lol 😄
But I agree, 2B & 9S always says, " is it for our sins "
They said it in every nier concert & drama too.
They say is since the Zinnia tragedy.
All 3 of them did terrible things. All of yoko taro characters do terrible things. Lol. No one is "innocent".
@@GodFireBreakdowns Yeah, that's what I want you to say in the videos 😂
Also A2 the biggest genocidal character in nier automata? I think the red girls would have a different opinion on that. Lol.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Ohhhhhh, good one. I should say the biggest-sexiest-hottest-genocidal-female android. Sorry N1N2, I forgot all your hard works. Xd
@@GodFireBreakdowns Ohhhhhhh, Good one, nice. I should be saying biggest sexiest beautiful genocidal android. Sorry N1N2, I forgot your all hard work. Xd
Maybe Emil was helping the androids fighting the machines
That's how he ended up there?😂
That more than likely is it.
@GodFireBreakdowns also was wondering about something else it's the side stories that's mentioned in neir reincarnation regarding both the flower that appeared through an experiment and the dragon replicant girl
Is there a potential that they took a place in the night kingdom?
From what I have seen in the flower's side story
The world had no plants, since a plant needs the sun's light to grow alongside other factors
There in the night kingdom they have no light
So the scientists wanted to grow a plant
Being the lunar tear flower which later became a flower that lives on humans blood
Which brings us to the Rose that made zero an intoner.
Same thing for the dragon replicant girl who wandered around in both night and light kingdoms
I wonder how many red and blue dresses J’Nique and Emi have
Right I was thinking that today. Lol
As I F*** love all characters, I hate Yolo Taro don't make more stories for A2. But it was obvious A2 will not be in this concert cause she's not in tbe poster.
But they didn't even show her when playing the song bipolar nightmare 😭 can't even give me her in the visuals.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Hmm, I feel you for that. Yoko Taroooooo 😤
@@GodFireBreakdownsat least the anime was great for A2
Alright, crack theory time: what if this is some elaborate prologue to a Nier x Kingdom Hearts crossover and this somehow gets caught into Kingdom Hearts IV, Squeenix has made YorHa Dark Apocalypse canon so it’s on the table…
It wouldn't surprise me if they did a collaboration lol
They can make Nier Automata 2 out of this!
So why don't they? T_T
Idk if we would get a automata 2 to be honest. It would probably be a brand new title. But idk what yoko taro got planned.
i feel it'd be too short. maybe an ova/movie or sumthin'
