*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
, 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] ---**
