[00:05] ---
    How long will I keep fighting...
[00:09] ---
    within this blood-soaked vortex
    of the battlefield?

[00:14] ---
    How long will I keep protecting...
[00:18] ---
    within these infinite killings
    that will never end?

[00:23] ---
    How long will I keep believing...
[00:27] ---
    in this world filled
    with deception and fabrication?

[00:34] ---
    How long will I keep telling lies...
[00:39] ---
    while continually feeling despair
    at the bleak future?

[01:00] ---
    Lost 1D.
[01:02] ---
    Following regulations,
    2B will assume the role of mission captain.
[01:15] ---
    Lost 4B.
[01:18] ---
    Enemy units confirmed ahead.
[02:14] ---
    Engaging combat
    with a large enemy machine lifeform.

[02:17] ---
    Requesting permission
    to assume mobile configuration.

[02:20] ---
    Permission granted.
[03:02] ---
    2B to Operator 6O.
[03:04] ---
    All other allied units have been lost.
[03:07] ---
    I expect problems in executing the mission.
    Awaiting orders.

[03:10] ---
    O-Operator to 2B. Please rendezvous
    with 9S onsite and gather terrain intel.

[03:16] ---
    Afterwards, follow original plans.
[03:18] ---
    Seek to destroy the target, the Goliath-class
    weapon, and gather more information.

[03:22] ---
    Roger.
[03:58] ---
    - Standard comm systems down.
    - Laser comm system activated.

[03:58] ---
    - Heavy damage to Ho229 flight unit.
    - Flight-control systems abandoned.

[04:01] ---
    - Transferring IMU control.
    - Activating FFCS.

[04:01] ---
    - Confirming terrain... Long-range.
    - Transferring FCS control.

[04:04] ---
    - Initiating 2B vitals recheck sequence.
    - Initiating short-range radio-wave camouflage.

[04:04] ---
    - Confirming 2B black box signal.
    - Activating NFCS.

[04:10] ---
    Activating short-range attack gear.
[04:17] ---
    Multiple enemy unit signals confirmed.
[04:19] ---
    I can see that.
[06:06] ---
    No matter how much you oil it up,
    it won't come back to life.
[06:10] ---
    That should be it for disabling
    the enemy base defense system...
[06:18] ---
    Looks like...
[06:21] ---
    it's about to begin.
[06:27] ---
    Just one unit? No ally units.
[06:31] ---
    Operator 21O to 9S. Do you copy?
[06:35] ---
    Yup, yup! I hear you!
[06:38] ---
    You only need to acknowledge once.
[06:40] ---
    Okay.
[06:41] ---
    Confirmed infiltration of YoRHa Soldiers
    into enemy base from a descent operation.

[06:45] ---
    However, only one unit remains.
[06:48] ---
    That's quite an ordeal.
[06:50] ---
    Contact with enemy defense weapons
    confirmed.

[06:53] ---
    Please head over to assist
    the attack squadron that infiltrated.

[06:56] ---
    Roger that.
[07:00] ---
    And now...
[07:06] ---
    Time to do my best at work!
[08:01] ---
    Enemies destroyed.
[08:05] ---
    No.
[08:12] ---
    Is this...
    the target Goliath-class weapon?
[08:15] ---
    Negative.
[08:17] ---
    This enemy unit is not the target.
[08:20] ---
    Quick eradication suggested.
[08:22] ---
    It's easy for you to say.
[08:26] ---
    Pod!
[08:27] ---
    Gather energy!
    Close-range marksmanship mode at full power!
[08:31] ---
    Warning: Ordered...
[08:35] ---
    Ordered attack
    puts a high load on the chassis—

[08:37] ---
    Pod!
[08:40] ---
    Fire!
[08:54] ---
    Thirteen hours and 34 minutes of cooldown time
    required for another attack of a similar nature.

[09:01] ---
    Confirmed enemy reboot.
[09:05] ---
    Fire missiles.
[09:20] ---
    It's dangerous
    if you don't make sure they're dead.
[09:28] ---
    You're Ms. 2B, right?
[09:29] ---
    I'm 9S. I was given orders to support you.
[09:35] ---
    Roger.
[09:39] ---
    So...
[09:40] ---
    Is this giant buzz saw
    the Goliath-class weapon that you're after?
[09:44] ---
    It's not.
    Looks like it's just a defense unit.
[09:48] ---
    Then it looks like
    we have to search for the target.
[09:51] ---
    Yeah.
[09:52] ---
    And we'll destroy the core unit.
[09:55] ---
    Understood.
[09:56] ---
    I have a flight unit,
    so I'll look around the perimeter.
[10:00] ---
    I'll investigate inside the facility.
[10:16] ---
    This place in the past...
[10:18] ---
    was supposedly
    a weapons factory for humans.

[10:21] ---
    The enemy seems
    to be using this factory

[10:23] ---
    to increase the production
    of machine lifeforms.

[10:30] ---
    What's that?
[10:31] ---
    No enemy signals in this area.
[10:34] ---
    There seem to be more enemies
    of this natures lately.

[10:36] ---
    They just absentmindedly sit there.
[10:39] ---
    I wonder what they’re doing?
[10:41] ---
    There is no intel about sleep functions
    in machine lifeforms from the analysis team.

[10:45] ---
    And machine lifeforms,
    unlike us androids, are simple—

[10:48] ---
    9S.
[10:49] ---
    Yes. What is it, Ms. 2B?
[10:51] ---
    Is that story necessary
    for this operation?

[10:53] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry. It's been quite a while
    since I talked to anyone.
[10:57] ---
    That's right.
[10:58] ---
    I'll send you the map data
    that I collected earlier.

[11:02] ---
    Roger.
[11:10] ---
    Ms. 2B. I'm happy.
[11:15] ---
    About what?
[11:16] ---
    We Scanners usually work alone,
    dealing with preliminary scouting.
[11:21] ---
    I don't usually get a partner.
    It's kind of fun!

[11:25] ---
    We are forbidden from harboring emotions.
[11:28] ---
    Oh! I'm sorry.
[11:29] ---
    And... You don't have to call me "Ms."
[11:35] ---
    No honorifics are necessary for my name.
[11:39] ---
    Understood.
[11:41] ---
    2B!
[11:45] ---
    Is something the matter?
[11:48] ---
    It's nothing.
[12:01] ---
    2B.
[12:02] ---
    I have identified the location
    of the enemy core unit.

[12:05] ---
    I will guide you there.
    Please keep proceeding forward.

[12:15] ---
    Materials transferring
    from Block 43 to 12.

[12:20] ---
    What's that?
[12:21] ---
    They use data from the old world
    to generate random nonsense.

[12:22] ---
    Thank you for another day's hard work.
    Please embrace the joys of labor.

[12:25] ---
    There’s no meaning
    behind what machine lifeforms do.

[12:29] ---
    This is strange.
[12:31] ---
    The core unit is there, but I couldn't
    find any weapons that look like the target.
[12:35] ---
    Does that mean the intel from Command
    was incorrect?
[12:39] ---
    We'll see about that.
[12:42] ---
    The target core unit is below that.
    Let's hurry.

[12:46] ---
    It's easy for you to say.
[12:54] ---
    Is that...
[12:57] ---
    the core unit?
[12:59] ---
    9S! The core unit is... outside...
[13:02] ---
    2B! What's wrong?
[13:03] ---
    Powerful jamming detected.
[13:05] ---
    At this timing?
[13:07] ---
    Alert. Enemy machine lifeforms.
[13:10] ---
    Multiple units approaching.
[13:12] ---
    Don't get...
[13:14] ---
    in our way!
[13:21] ---
    Core unit signal increasing
    from the building up ahead.

[13:27] ---
    Can it be...
[13:30] ---
    Target Goliath-class weapon found.
[14:05] ---
    Pod, request backup from Command!
[14:07] ---
    Communication is impossible
    due to radio jamming.

[14:10] ---
    What the? Its movements...
[14:13] ---
    Target Goliath-class weapon
    suspected to be incomplete.

[14:20] ---
    If that's the case...
[14:22] ---
    I will destroy it here!
[14:39] ---
    Boost!
[14:42] ---
    9S.
[14:44] ---
    You brute force your way
    through battles, 2B.
[14:54] ---
    Confirmed functional decrease
    of Goliath-class weapon.

[14:57] ---
    Leave this part to me.
[15:00] ---
    Hacking!
[15:07] ---
    So this is the target
    Goliath-class weapon...

[15:10] ---
    To think about
    going into battle against this solo...

[15:13] ---
    I'm glad I made it in time.
[15:18] ---
    9S.
[15:20] ---
    Thank you.
[15:24] ---
    A protective wall?
[15:32] ---
    So the protective wall is this trivial...
[15:36] ---
    Report. Enemy unit control infiltration route
    and vulnerability found.

[15:42] ---
    Use that infiltration route
    to run a suspension program.
[15:45] ---
    Roger. Ten seconds until execution.
[15:49] ---
    The same type? What in the...
[15:52] ---
    It's recovering
    a lot faster than I thought!
[15:56] ---
    Watch out, 9S!
[16:08] ---
    Target Goliath-class weapon
    has temporarily ceased functions.

[16:13] ---
    9S black box signal detected.
    Not responding to communications.

[16:17] ---
    I have to save 9S!
[16:31] ---
    9S!
[16:36] ---
    I'll repair you right now!
[16:38] ---
    Pod! The staunching gel
    and the logic-virus vaccine, and...
[16:42] ---
    The decrease in the subject's vitals cannot
    be stopped with triage done at this—

[16:45] ---
    Shut up! Just give it to me!
[16:50] ---
    2B... Just go...
[16:52] ---
    Stay quiet!
[16:57] ---
    We are soldiers.
[17:02] ---
    We must take pride in our battles.
[17:13] ---
    Unit Ho229, accepting command 677.
[17:18] ---
    Transferred authorized user from 9S to 2B.
[17:22] ---
    Requesting acknowledgement from 2B.
[17:25] ---
    Please... Before the enemy reboots...
[17:32] ---
    All right.
[17:50] ---
    Confirmed decreasing vitals for 9S.
[17:53] ---
    Pod. You came at a good time.
    Confirm the comm conditions.
[18:00] ---
    Report. Radio jamming decreased
    due to weakening of the enemy.

[18:04] ---
    Though unstable, laser comm is possible.
[18:08] ---
    Take 2B's record data package...
[18:16] ---
    Kill... Kill...
[18:25] ---
    These beams...
[18:26] ---
    And it's speaking words...
[18:29] ---
    Pod! How are the controls?
[18:31] ---
    Behavior table adjusted.
[18:34] ---
    Balance controls overridden.
[18:37] ---
    Enemy unit subjugation complete.
[18:41] ---
    Pod! Disable subjugation
    for three seconds!
[18:44] ---
    Roger.
[18:48] ---
    Initiating re-subjugation.
[18:58] ---
    Kill...
[19:00] ---
    Kill...
[19:04] ---
    Kill...
[19:09] ---
    Just break down already!
[19:38] ---
    You really do brute-force it, 2B.
[19:44] ---
    Request support... from Command...
[19:47] ---
    No, that doesn't...
[19:51] ---
    seem necessary.
[19:53] ---
    Kill...
[19:56] ---
    Kill...
[19:57] ---
    - Kill...
    - Impossible.
[20:00] ---
    Looks like things...
[20:04] ---
    aren't going so well.
[20:07] ---
    I'm done setting up.
[20:10] ---
    Your black box, please.
[20:15] ---
    All right.
[20:20] ---
    Requesting annihilation of enemy
    Goliath-class weapon via black box reaction!
[20:28] ---
    Request... Accepted.
[20:31] ---
    2B.
[20:34] ---
    It was an honor to fight alongside you.
[20:40] ---
    The honor was mine.
[20:48] ---
    All existence is designed
    to become extinct.

[20:53] ---
    THIRTEENTH ORBITING SATELLITE BASE
    THE BUNKER
[20:53] ---
    We are perpetually trapped
    in a never-ending spiral of life and death.

[21:01] ---
    Is this a curse... or is it punishment?
[21:05] ---
    However...
[21:07] ---
    If I am allowed to,
    I would like to make a wish.

[21:11] ---
    For his happiness.
[21:14] ---
    That is my...
[21:18] ---
    The operation was a success.
[21:22] ---
    The enemy Goliath-class weapon was destroyed,
    and the enemy-occupied territory—
[21:25] ---
    9S.
[21:27] ---
    Yes?
[21:28] ---
    Thank you for uploading our data
    to the Bunker at the very end.
[21:35] ---
    I'm sorry.
    I don't have memories about that.
[21:40] ---
    I likely only had enough time
    to back up your data.
[21:46] ---
    My memories
[21:48] ---
    only go back to the point
    right before our rendezvous.
[21:53] ---
    I see.
[21:55] ---
    Glory to mankind.
[21:58] ---
    Glory... to mankind.
[22:17] ---
    Pod 042 reporting to all of mankind.
[22:21] ---
    We will now execute the task
[22:24] ---
    of introducing the multiple endings
    of the video game "NieR:Automata.” Over.

[22:30] ---
    PUPPET PLAY
    NIER:AUTOMATA
    “2B AND 9S”
[22:35] ---
    Yes, yes! Hello!
[22:36] ---
    We are androids who fight for mankind day in
    and day out, YoRHa No. 9 Type S AKA 9S and...
[22:41] ---
    Likewise, YoRHa No. 2 Type B AKA 2B.
[22:44] ---
    We'll get right into it. The game
    "NieR:Automata" has multiple endings,
[22:49] ---
    and there really are a lot of them!
[22:51] ---
    So in this segment, we will show you
    the many endings in a slightly different way!
[22:56] ---
    9S, we should start off
    by introducing ourselves a bit more.
[23:00] ---
    Nice assist, Ms. 2B!
[23:02] ---
    Well, we YoRHa model androids
    have various types,
[23:02] ---
    ALL SORTS OF TYPES?
    YoRHa MODELS
[23:06] ---
    like "A" for Attacker, "B" for Battler,
    "D," "G," "H," "O," and "S" for Scanner like me.
[23:06] ---
    ATTACKER TYPE - TYPE A
[23:08] ---
    BATTLER TYPE - TYPE B
[23:09] ---
    DEFENSE TYPE - TYPE D
[23:09] ---
    GUNNER TYPE - TYPE G
[23:10] ---
    HEALER TYPE - TYPE H
[23:10] ---
    OPERATOR TYPE - TYPE O
[23:11] ---
    SCANNER TYPE - TYPE S
[23:12] ---
    HIDDEN TYPE - ?
[23:13] ---
    There may even be other hidden models.
[23:15] ---
    Ms. 2B's "2" designates
    the rollout order for her type.
[23:19] ---
    I am an ordinary combat model
    integrating Type A and Type G.
[23:23] ---
    And only the YoRHa models
    are equipped with this black box!
[23:27] ---
    This actually has a really amazing feature.
[23:30] ---
    Ms. 2B? Hey, w—
[23:33] ---
    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!
[23:36] ---
    TO BE CONTINUED
