SIGN    THIRTEENTH ORBITING SATELLITE BASE
    THE BUNKER
[00:03] ---
    The distant future, 5012.
[00:07] ---
    The glorious history of mankind
    suddenly came to an end.

[00:12] ---
    There was an invasion of Aliens
    who flew in from outer space.

[00:17] ---
    Human civilization was annihilated by
    <Machine Lifeforms>, weapons deployed by the Aliens.

[00:24] ---
    The miniscule population that survived
    ended up fleeing to the moon.

[00:30] ---
    The year 5204.
[00:33] ---
    With a series of bases laid out
    upon the orbital trajectory,

[00:36] ---
    a rebellion operation began using androids.
[00:40] ---
    Over a dozen large-scale
    descent operations later,

[00:44] ---
    we still have not been able
    to deliver a decisive blow.

[00:48] ---
    In order to break through the battlefront
    which has entered a stalemate,

[00:52] ---
    you YoRHa Soldiers exist.
[00:57] ---
    Fulfill your duties
    as the ultimate combat weapons.

[01:03] ---
    Yes. We understand.
[01:05] ---
    I wish you luck.
[01:08] ---
    Glory to mankind!
[01:10] ---
    Glory to mankind!
[01:13] ---
    Glory... to mankind.
[03:09] ---
    What's wrong, 2B?
[03:11] ---
    Nothing.
[03:12] ---
    Confirming target location.
    Marking on map.

[03:16] ---
    This area sees heavy encroachment of plants,
    but in its day, it must have been a large city.
[03:23] ---
    Yeah.
[03:24] ---
    The plant encroachment
    is quite heavy in the central area.
[03:29] ---
    And they're quite large in size, too.
[03:30] ---
    Information. Enlargement of plants confirmed
    after humanity evacuated to the moon.

SIGN    CITY RUINS
[03:37] ---
    Maybe there are huge boars around, too.
[03:44] ---
    Report. Multiple machine lifeforms
    approaching.

[03:48] ---
    2B, there are enemy signals.
[03:51] ---
    Let's go, Nines.
[04:09] ---
    Oof.
[04:23] ---
    I'm leaving the back ones to you.
[04:24] ---
    Okay!
[04:25] ---
    The Council of Humanity has a message
    for all of our brave androids fighting on the surface.

[04:32] ---
    Currently, our struggle against
    the machine lifeforms is at a stalemate.

[04:37] ---
    This battle has raged for far too long.
    I am sure all of you find the effort grueling.

[04:43] ---
    But now is not the time to give up.
    Now, more than ever, we must forge on.

[04:47] ---
    Remember that several hundred thousand humans
    on the moon want nothing more than to return to Earth.

[04:53] ---
    Glory to mankind.
[05:04] ---
    Oh brother. Broadcasts from
    the Council of Humanity is always so uptight.
[05:10] ---
    Don't complain.
[05:11] ---
    Yup, yup.
[05:13] ---
    You only need to acknowledge once.
[05:14] ---
    Okay.
[05:16] ---
    Anyway, when this
    scouting mission is over,
[05:19] ---
    when will my next
    mission pairing be with you, 2B?
[05:23] ---
    I don't know.
[05:25] ---
    You can check with the Bunker.
[05:28] ---
    Is there something special
    for missions we do together?
[05:30] ---
    We Scanners usually work alone,
    dealing with preliminary scouting.
[05:34] ---
    I don't usually get a partner.
[05:37] ---
    It's kind of fun!
[05:39] ---
    We are forbidden
    from harboring emotions.
[05:41] ---
    Oh! I'm sorry.
    I couldn't help it.
[05:45] ---
    It's fine if you understand.
[05:47] ---
    The Pod reclamation point
    from the request is up ahead.
[05:50] ---
    Let's hurry on, 2B.
[05:52] ---
    Sure.
[05:56] ---
    You want us to look for a missing friend?
[06:00] ---
    Um, that's a bit...
[06:02] ---
    You're the newest YoRHa models, right?
[06:05] ---
    N-Newest model? That's true.
[06:08] ---
    If you're the newest model,
    you must be strong and highly functional!
[06:12] ---
    Then...
[06:13] ---
    No, well...
[06:17] ---
    If it's not part of the scouting mission...
[06:19] ---
    But of course.
[06:23] ---
    This red hood was something
    my friend gave me.
[06:27] ---
    If something happened to her, I...
[06:30] ---
    Now, now.
[06:32] ---
    It looks like this lady is highly troubled.
[06:35] ---
    Why don't we listen
    to what she has to say for now, 2B?
[06:39] ---
    Do as you wish.
[06:41] ---
    I'm just going to hear her out!
[06:44] ---
    So are there any clues
    for where she could be?
[06:47] ---
    Clues...
[06:50] ---
    It's a bit far from here, but there are
    some clues in the data of a broken Pod.
[06:55] ---
    I think?
[06:57] ---
    Pod?
[06:58] ---
    I thought Resistance
    didn't act in tandem with Pods.
[07:01] ---
    Does your friend
    happen to be a YoRHa Soldier?
[07:06] ---
    I don't know.
[07:07] ---
    A while ago, when there was
    a big battle against machine lifeforms,
[07:13] ---
    I was caught in an explosion,
    and I have errors accessing my memory regions.
[07:19] ---
    That's quite an ordeal.
[07:21] ---
    And the Pod is located in an area
    that has many enemy machine lifeforms.
[07:26] ---
    If you could go on ahead and kill them
    for me, I can head over there later.
[07:31] ---
    Can I ask that of you?
[07:35] ---
    Understood!
[07:37] ---
    I'll go find that Pod for you.
[07:39] ---
    I'm so happy! Thank you!
[07:41] ---
    H-Hold on! Please let go!
[07:44] ---
    Ma'am, have I seen you before?
[07:48] ---
    No. A lot of YoRHa models look alike.
[07:52] ---
    - 2B, this is beyond my control! Beyond my...
    - I see.
[07:57] ---
    Anyway, how is that Resistance lady
    related to YoRHa?
[08:03] ---
    I can't stop thinking about it, 2B.
[08:06] ---
    2B?
[08:08] ---
    Can it be...
[08:10] ---
    Although that Resistance lady was really pretty,
    do you think I'm doing too much for her?
[08:17] ---
    You're a lot prettier, 2B.
    And I prefer people who have calm demeanors.
[08:22] ---
    See, there's the case with the Pod.
    It counts as part of the scouting mission!
[08:28] ---
    Perhaps this is jealousy.
[08:32] ---
    It's nothing like that.
[08:35] ---
    In the first place, this case was fine to accept
    because it's related to our scouting, anyway.
[08:38] ---
    Oh, she's angry. She's definitely angry.
[08:41] ---
    Normally, because you sidetrack
    into unrelated things, we waste time needlessly.
[08:41] ---
    In times like this, um...
[08:43] ---
    I know!
[08:47] ---
    Humanity gave presents to women
    to return them into a good mood.

[08:51] ---
    That's it!
[08:53] ---
    Wait, she's not here!
[08:55] ---
    2B! Um, can I have a moment?
[08:59] ---
    Is there anything that you'd want?
[09:01] ---
    I was thinking I'd like to give you a present.
[09:05] ---
    I don't know what's happening,
    but a present is a completely meaningless act.
[09:09] ---
    Huh? This differs from my infor...
[09:11] ---
    Oh no, I want to send you
    my gratitude for—
[09:13] ---
    - We are forbidden from harboring emotions.
    - Okay, hold on!
[09:18] ---
    That's not what I mean! 2B!
[09:24] ---
    This is..
[09:26] ---
    definitely a YoRHa Soldier.
[09:28] ---
    Did the machine lifeforms do this?
[09:31] ---
    The Pod, too.
[09:32] ---
    Is it an enemy that even
    YoRHa Soldiers can lose against?
[09:36] ---
    Commencing scan
    of assistance follower unit.

[09:43] ---
    Scan complete. Heavily damaged.
[09:46] ---
    Only the final life log recording
    is available for playback.

[09:53] ---
    This red cloak!
[09:56] ---
    I'm the one...
[09:59] ---
    who killed her?
[10:05] ---
    Wait!
[10:08] ---
    Why did you do such a thing?
[10:10] ---
    My...
[10:13] ---
    My true identity...
[10:16] ---
    Type E...
[10:19] ---
    YoRHa Type E...
[10:21] ---
    YoRHa? You're a YoRHa Soldier?
[10:25] ---
    Type E is the Execution model created
    to destroy deserters from squads and moles.
[10:32] ---
    Execution model?
[10:35] ---
    Disguised, we approach the traitors,
    and kill them.
[10:40] ---
    Over and over. I became friends,
    and lovers, to kill them.
[10:45] ---
    Let's calm down.
    We should head to the Bunker first.
[10:47] ---
    The souls of the androids
    who I've killed...
[10:50] ---
    Watch out. Any further...
[10:53] ---
    I can only pray that they go to heaven.
[10:57] ---
    I can only...
[11:10] ---
    Nines.
[11:12] ---
    I couldn't save her.
[11:17] ---
    YoRHa Type E.
[11:19] ---
    Did you know about this, 2B?
[11:23] ---
    There are things
    we're better off not knowing, huh?
[11:32] ---
    2B, there is a possibility that unit's behavior
    was from virus contamination.
[11:38] ---
    Mind if I check you?
[11:42] ---
    Sure.
[11:51] ---
    Type E.
[11:53] ---
    The existence of Execution models...
[11:56] ---
    Be careful.
[11:58] ---
    In that moment, 2B didn't move.
[12:01] ---
    Bunker is still hiding something?
[12:21] ---
    2B, I'm sorry I'm so late.
[12:24] ---
    No problem. I just got here.
[12:26] ---
    Were there additional orders
    from Command?
[12:30] ---
    An order for a different operation
    that has nothing to do with this scouting.
[12:36] ---
    In any case, why is a combat model like 2B
    in charge of a scouting mission in a place like this?
[12:42] ---
    Don't complain about your orders.
[12:45] ---
    Okay.
[12:51] ---
    Something wrong?
[12:52] ---
    No, nothing.
[12:54] ---
    I see.
[13:00] ---
    This is a religious facility called a shrine.
[13:05] ---
    In the distant past, humanity had lived here,
    and then was later used as a shrine.
[13:10] ---
    Pod, any signals?
[13:12] ---
    Report. No signals, hostile or otherwise,
    within the building.

[13:18] ---
    That's strange.
[13:20] ---
    The scouting mission from Command
    was to confirm a faint signal.
[13:24] ---
    I had assumed that there would be
    a machine lifeform or an android here.
[13:30] ---
    Let's investigate a little more further in.
[13:40] ---
    According to records, this was created
    several thousand years ago.
[13:44] ---
    But it's full of rooms we don't know the functions of,
    and there are traces of a power supply.
[13:49] ---
    This is truly fascinating, right, 2B?
[13:52] ---
    Concentrate on the scouting mission.
[13:55] ---
    Okay.
[13:58] ---
    This is clearly a suspicious clearing.
[14:02] ---
    But there aren't any noteworthy signals.
[14:07] ---
    Is this something from humanity?
[14:09] ---
    It's similar to currency in the records.
[14:14] ---
    2B, is the scouting target
    really this location?
[14:21] ---
    Received mail.
[14:24] ---
    Just like you said, Nines,
    it seems to be a transmission error.
[14:27] ---
    Oh? I guess Command
    makes mistakes every so often.
[14:31] ---
    Let's go.
[14:33] ---
    Marking target location on the map.
[14:41] ---
    Wait for me, 2B!
[14:53] ---
    This is the target location?
[14:56] ---
    It looks like the ruins
    of a shopping center.
[14:59] ---
    According to records, it seems to be
    a facility called a department store.
SIGN    SHOPPING CENTER
[15:04] ---
    If we were human, would we have had fun
    shopping around in places like this?
[15:09] ---
    Talking about what-ifs is meaningless.
[15:12] ---
    You're so serious, 2B.
[15:15] ---
    But ruins of humanity are filled
    with places where they gather together.
[15:20] ---
    Survival rate decreases for individual units.
[15:23] ---
    For long-term and stable activity,
    powers of other units are necessary.

[15:30] ---
    We cannot live alone.
[15:34] ---
    Alone?
[15:38] ---
    Does that mean you need me as well?
[15:44] ---
    Just kidding.
[15:45] ---
    Alert. Enemy machine lifeform signal
    directly above.

[15:55] ---
    This thing isn't attacking us.
[15:58] ---
    It has an enemy signal, though,
    so I wonder what it is?
[16:01] ---
    That doesn't matter.
[16:24] ---
    This place...
[16:26] ---
    What is this thing?
[16:28] ---
    Um... you guys are...
[16:31] ---
    It looks suspicious! Let's destroy it, 2B!
[16:34] ---
    Hold on just a second!
[16:35] ---
    Destroying.
[16:37] ---
    Don't!
[16:42] ---
    What exactly was that?
[16:48] ---
    2B! Why in the world...
[16:50] ---
    I screwed up.
[16:52] ---
    Pod, NFC Mode 2.
[16:55] ---
    Affirmative. Unlocking NFC Mode 2.
[17:03] ---
    Mode 2?
[17:10] ---
    Don't resist, Nines.
    I don't want you to suffer.
[17:13] ---
    2... B...
[17:21] ---
    Type S models cannot win against
    Type E models in close-range combat.
[17:26] ---
    Type E...
[17:34] ---
    Hacking!
[17:36] ---
    Wha... How?
[17:38] ---
    Countermeasures
    for execution of Type S models.
[17:42] ---
    Execution. So you really are...
[17:46] ---
    We have confirmed traces of 9S
    accessing confidential files on the main server.
[17:52] ---
    As per regulations,
    I command the annihilation of 9S.
[17:56] ---
    You can do it, 2B?
[17:59] ---
    No. 2E.
[18:01] ---
    Roger...
[18:03] ---
    that.
[18:10] ---
    No one can live alone.
[18:12] ---
    Not even YoRHa.
[18:15] ---
    I will not apologize.
[18:24] ---
    You can't move. Can you, 2B?
[18:28] ---
    You look like you're wondering how,
    because you haven't even been hacked.
[18:32] ---
    Don't you remember?
    That red hooded...
[18:35] ---
    2B, there is a possibility that unit's behavior
    was from virus contamination.

[18:41] ---
    Mind if I check you?
[18:45] ---
    I really didn't want to do
    something like this.
[18:49] ---
    But there's no way a Type S
    can win against a Type E.
[18:53] ---
    Farewell, 2B.
[18:56] ---
    It was an honor to fight alongside you.
[18:59] ---
    Report. Virus analysis complete.
    Administering vaccine.

[19:04] ---
    Pod? Why?
[19:06] ---
    Assistance and following orders for YoRHa unit 9S
    has been cancelled 94 seconds ago.

[19:35] ---
    Finally...
[19:38] ---
    Finally, it might come to an end.
[19:42] ---
    2B.
[19:46] ---
    And you too, Number 2.
[20:11] ---
    Commander, I'm here to escort you.
[20:15] ---
    P-Pardon me!
[20:18] ---
    I don't mind. Give me the report.
[20:21] ---
    Next, we have completed analysis of reports
    from vanguard squadrons 1 to 12 that are onsite.
[20:28] ---
    Any issues?
[20:29] ---
    None at present.
[20:31] ---
    Good.
[20:31] ---
    Scout squadrons should seize control
    of the enemy anti-air system and paralyze it.
[20:36] ---
    Also, to prevent information leakage,
[20:39] ---
    all radio communication from the surface
    is prohibited outside of emergencies.
[20:42] ---
    Understood.
[21:02] ---
    So, let us begin...
[21:06] ---
    the final battle.
[22:42] ---
    Pod 042 reporting to all of mankind.
[22:46] ---
    We will now execute the task
[22:48] ---
    of introducing the multiple endings
    of the video game "NieR:Automata." Over.

SIGN    PUPPET PLAY
    NIER:AUTOMATA
    "NINES"
[23:00] ---
    Yes, yes! Hello! Now, NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a's
    second part has begun!
[23:05] ---
    We have slightly revamped
    this segment as well!
[23:09] ---
    What's going to be new about it?
[23:10] ---
    To the point! 2B will be calling me Nines!
[23:15] ---
    N-Nine...
[23:17] ---
    Nine?
[23:18] ---
    What is the meaning of BFF, Mr. 9S?
[23:20] ---
    Facefault!
    This is the good part right now!
[23:22] ---
    Oh, but...
[23:24] ---
    Okay, once again.
[23:25] ---
    Nine...
[23:26] ---
    Nine!?
[23:29] ---
    - If I can't figure out BFF, I can't sleep at night.
    - Hey, how are children created? Tell us, tell us!

[23:32] ---
    Snap.
SIGN    In a sudden fit of anger,
    9S wiped out the machine lifeforms,
    and no peace was forged that day.
