[00:01] ---
    The distant future, 5012.
[00:05] ---
    The glorious history of mankind
    suddenly came to an end.

[00:10] ---
    There was an invasion of aliens
    who flew in from outer space.

[00:14] ---
    Human civilization was annihilated by
    <Machine Lifeforms>, weapons deployed by the aliens.

[00:22] ---
    The miniscule population that survived
    ended up fleeing to the moon.

[00:28] ---
    The year 5204.
[00:32] ---
    With a series of bases laid out
    upon the orbital trajectory,

[00:35] ---
    a rebellion operation began using androids.
[00:39] ---
    Over a dozen large-scale
    descent operations later,

[00:43] ---
    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.
[00:56] ---
    Fulfill your duties
    as the ultimate combat weapons.

[01:02] ---
    Yes. We understand.
[01:04] ---
    I wish you luck.
[01:07] ---
    Glory to mankind!
[01:09] ---
    Glory to mankind!
[01:12] ---
    Glory... to mankind.
[01:16] ---
    Glory...
[02:51] ---
    A long time ago, a volcano erupted.
[02:57] ---
    From the fires of the eruption,
    God appeared.

[03:02] ---
    This is what God said to the machines.
[03:07] ---
    Conscience, pain, joy, sorrow,
[03:14] ---
    anger, shame, solitude, future...
[03:23] ---
    The meaning of life.
[03:40] ---
    CITY RUINS
[04:36] ---
    AH...
[04:37] ---
    AH... AAH..........
[06:40] ---
    Its guise was visible.
[06:42] ---
    Its shape was visible.
[06:45] ---
    However, its soul was not visible.
[06:49] ---
    For the absence of an end from being able to see,
    the machines learned hesitation.

[06:55] ---
    But at the same time,
    the joy of learning fulfilled the machines.

[07:10] ---
    M... NAM... IS PLA...O...8. I...M A GENERAL FAI...E.
[07:39] ---
    There's still more!?
[07:43] ---
    Damn it! I'm already out of bullets.
[07:46] ---
    What’s it doing?
[07:49] ---
    It's not attacking me?
[07:55] ---
    B-Big Brother.
[07:58] ---
    Big Brother... Big Brother...
[08:01] ---
    Big Brother... Big Brother...
[08:04] ---
    Big Brother... Big Brother...
[08:08] ---
    Big Brother... Big Brother...
[08:23] ---
    I FOUND IT ON THE BATTLEFIELD. A SMALL ITEM
    CALLED A FLOWER DRAWN ON THAT PIECE OF PAPER
[10:22] ---
    How was it?
[10:23] ---
    Most of them have been taken
    since last time.
[10:26] ---
    I believe this will be the last time.
[10:28] ---
    This place, too, huh?
[10:30] ---
    Hey!
[10:31] ---
    Load up all the resources from here!
    Hurry!
[10:34] ---
    The tin men nearby have been docile lately,
    but we don't know what's going to happen.
[10:41] ---
    Hey. Can we really win this?
[10:45] ---
    Oh, we'll make something of it!
[10:48] ---
    I've heard that a new type of androids
    called YoRHa have been deployed.
[10:52] ---
    Maybe it’ll be over really soon?
[10:56] ---
    I sure hope so.
[11:00] ---
    The Council of Humanity has a message
    for all of our brave androids fighting on the surface.

[11:07] ---
    Currently, our struggle against
    the machine lifeforms is at a stalemate.

[11:12] ---
    This battle has raged for far too long.
    I am sure all of you find the effort grueling.

[11:17] ---
    But now is not the time to give up.
    Now, more than ever, we must forge on.

[11:20] ---
    Remember that several hundred thousand humans
    on the moon want nothing more th—

[11:26] ---
    Huh? You're not going to listen
    to the end, Lily?
[11:31] ---
    I know what they want to say.
[11:35] ---
    Basically they want us to fight
    until we die, right?
[11:38] ---
    Come on,
    you always sound really harsh, Lily.
[11:42] ---
    Help me out here!
[11:44] ---
    Jeez, she can't do it by herself?
[11:47] ---
    Go help her.
[11:49] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[11:51] ---
    You need to stop that already.
[11:53] ---
    Roger that, Leader!
[12:00] ---
    The guys up on the moon
    speak in high spirits.

[12:04] ---
    But not even a single gun
    has been given to us, the Resistance,

[12:08] ---
    who've been fighting on ground
    for centuries.

[12:11] ---
    Including the fact that recent machine lifeforms
    have been evolving,

[12:16] ---
    the end is still not in sight.
[12:18] ---
    Just how long will we...
[12:38] ---
    B-Big Brother.
[12:53] ---
    Ms. 2B, can you hear me?
[12:56] ---
    I'm finished with the boot sequence.
[13:00] ---
    Good morning.
[13:01] ---
    Do you have any issues?
[13:04] ---
    I'm fine.
[13:06] ---
    9S.
[13:07] ---
    Yes?
[13:09] ---
    Your voice. It somehow puts me at ease.
[13:14] ---
    Th-Thank you so much!
[13:17] ---
    As the one in charge of your maintenance,
    that makes me really happy.
[13:22] ---
    Actually, me too. When I hear your voice—
[13:25] ---
    9S.
[13:26] ---
    Y-Yes?
[13:28] ---
    The Commander is calling.
    I'll go on ahead.
[13:36] ---
    Huh?
[13:44] ---
    Commander.
[13:46] ---
    Oh, 2B and 9S.
[13:48] ---
    Are you done with the maintenance?
[13:50] ---
    Yes.
[13:51] ---
    You detonated your black box
    in order to defeat the enemy.
[13:54] ---
    Don't be too reckless, okay?
[13:56] ---
    Okay.
[13:59] ---
    I hate to say this right after your maintenance,
    but I have a mission for you.
[14:02] ---
    Rendezvous with the Resistance on the surface,
    and do some recon.
[14:07] ---
    Wasn't a different YoRHa member assigned
    as liaison with the Resistance?
[14:13] ---
    We haven't been able to contact them
    for a while now.
[14:17] ---
    I'd like you to do some onsite investigation,
    including the reason for the lack of comms.
[14:21] ---
    Concentrate your search
    in the desert area.
[14:24] ---
    Understood.
[14:28] ---
    But why would a combat model like Ms. 2B
    be assigned for a reconnaissance?
[14:34] ---
    We Scanner models
    are enough for onsite recon.
[14:38] ---
    Don't complain about your orders.
[14:40] ---
    Okay.
[14:42] ---
    2B... 9S...
[14:46] ---
    Be careful.
[14:50] ---
    As soon as we're done loading,
    we'll head to the next resource storage!
[14:53] ---
    Go on ahead and scout
    as soon as you're able to!
[14:56] ---
    Don't be workin' so slow, you twins!
[14:59] ---
    Hurry and clean that up, so we can...
[15:03] ---
    Enemy attack!
[15:06] ---
    Damn it! Don't let it get close!
[15:14] ---
    Retreat! Retreat! Abandon the resources!
[15:16] ---
    Load the wounded
    onto the remaining trucks! Hurry!
[15:26] ---
    B-Big Brother.
[15:43] ---
    The machine found them.
[15:47] ---
    The machine called them "treasures."
[15:53] ---
    Each treasure had a different shape.
[15:57] ---
    Each treasure had...
[16:00] ---
    a different shape.
[16:06] ---
    Kill... Kill... Kill...
[16:10] ---
    Kill... Kill... Kill...
[16:19] ---
    The minefield is useless.
[16:21] ---
    How are the injured?
[16:24] ---
    What about the distress call to the camp?
[16:25] ---
    We won't last until they arrive!
[16:27] ---
    Wh-What about an assistance request
    to the Council of Humanity?
[16:30] ---
    How many times do I have to tell you?
    Those guys will never send any assistance!
[16:38] ---
    We'll lure them out to the valley up ahead,
    and then drop the bridge!
[16:41] ---
    If you’re alive, follow me!
[16:48] ---
    Here they come.
[16:50] ---
    What is it?
[16:51] ---
    There’s one strange one.
[16:53] ---
    Don't mind it.
    Draw them in really close, then drop them.
[17:03] ---
    They've passed the center!
[17:04] ---
    Now!
[17:07] ---
    What's wrong?
[17:08] ---
    No way. Did it break?
[17:09] ---
    What are you doing? Set it off already!
[17:11] ---
    Damn it. It won't explode!
[17:14] ---
    If only Jackass was here right now!
[17:17] ---
    Leader! It's useless! Let's retreat!
[17:24] ---
    Leader!
[18:21] ---
    Who in the world...
[18:31] ---
    K-Kill—
[18:38] ---
    N-Number Two.
[18:42] ---
    There.
[18:43] ---
    Ms. 2B, we have completed
    the suppression now.
[18:47] ---
    Yeah.
[18:48] ---
    I'll return the flight units
    back to the Bunker via autopilot.
[18:52] ---
    Well, machine lifeforms
    often act in groups,
[18:56] ---
    but this time
    it was on quite a large scale.
[18:59] ---
    Alert. Enemy signals detected.
[19:02] ---
    Ms. 2B, there are still survivors!
[19:05] ---
    Kill...
[19:10] ---
    Pod!
[19:21] ---
    Okay, everyone. It’s all right now.
[19:25] ---
    Stop!
[19:27] ---
    Lily!
[19:31] ---
    Pod, give me some staunching gel
    and the logic-virus vaccine.
[19:33] ---
    Don't worry about me! Hey!
[19:40] ---
    They are...
[19:42] ---
    They're maintenance units
    permanently stationed with the Resistance.
[19:45] ---
    But anyway! Those black outfits and blindfolds.
    You guys must be YoRHa Soldiers!
[19:50] ---
    This is the first time
    I've actually met YoRHa Soldiers!
[19:53] ---
    The Council of Humanity
    answered our requests!
[19:57] ---
    - Yeah!
    - Right, Lily?
[19:59] ---
    I had my faith in the Council of Humanity.
[20:01] ---
    You were scared and gave up earlier.
[20:03] ---
    You were scared too!
[20:05] ---
    - I wasn't scared!
    - You definitely were!
[20:05] ---
    We'll head back to camp for now.
[20:07] ---
    I can't hear you!
[20:07] ---
    You two, we'll talk once we get there.
[20:10] ---
    For the Council of Humanity
    to send reinforcements...

[20:16] ---
    Killed Father.
[20:20] ---
    Killed Mother.
[20:23] ---
    Killed Father.
[20:26] ---
    Killed Mother.
[20:29] ---
    Coldly grasped in those hands
    was the joy of growth,

[20:33] ---
    and the solitude of becoming alone.
[20:41] ---
    This. Cannot. This. Cannot.
    This. Cannot. This. Cannot.
    

[20:52] ---
    This. Cannot. This. Cannot.
    This. Cannot. This. Cannot.
    

[20:59] ---
    This. Cannot. C-Continue.
[22:40] ---
    POD 042 REPORTING TO ALL OF MANKIND.
[22:40] ---
    WE WILL NOW EXECUTE THE TASK
    OF INTRODUCING THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS
    FOR THE VIDEO GAME "NIER:AUTOMATA." OVER.
[22:44] ---
    PUPPET PLAY
    NIER:AUTOMATA
    “HANDLE WITH CARE”
[22:50] ---
    Yes, yes! Hello!
[22:51] ---
    We are androids who fight for mankind
    day in and day out, YoRHa No. 9 Type S AKA 9S and...
[22:56] ---
    Likewise, YoRHa No. 2 Type B AKA 2B.
[22:59] ---
    Today, we have a postcard with a question
[23:01] ---
    from one of the good kids
    watching this on TV, Taro Yoko from Aichi.
[23:02] ---
    TO: NIER:AUTOMATA
    QUESTION SEGMENT
    FROM: TARO YOKO IN AICHI
[23:05] ---
    °CURRENTLY, SENDING IN QUESTIONS FOR THIS SEGMENT
    HAS COME TO AND END
[23:05] ---
    That name sounds familiar.
[23:08] ---
    I have two questions.
    First, what is the androids' energy source?
[23:09] ---
    Q. WHAT IS THE ANDROIDS' "ENERGY" SOURCE?
[23:12] ---
    Answer to the first question.
    Our energy comes from... water.
[23:15] ---
    That's right! Ordinary androids
    drink purified water through their mouths,
[23:16] ---
    ORDINARY ANDROIDS
[23:17] ---
    ORDINARY ANDROIDS
    DRINK PURIFIED WATER THROUGH MOUTH
[23:20] ---
    YoRHa MODELS
[23:20] ---
    but YoRHa model androids
    automatically replenish
[23:21] ---
    YoRHa MODELS
    AUTOMATICALLY REPLENISH THE REACTORS
[23:22] ---
    their reactors from internal tanks
    through chambers!
[23:25] ---
    Q. WHAT IS THE "OS CHIP"
    THAT IS INSTALLED ON AN ANDROID?
[23:25] ---
    Second question, what is the OS chip
    that is equipped on an android?
[23:29] ---
    Wait, I have a bad feeling about this.
[23:31] ---
    REMOVE OS CHIP?
    
[23:32] ---
    Ms. 2B, wa—
[23:34] ---
    Caution. Handle With Care!
    Removal of the OS chip will result in death.
[23:38] ---
    TO BE CONTINUED
