[00:07] ---
    What's the matter, Big...
    Elder Brother?
[00:11] ---
    Humans are interesting after all.
[00:13] ---
    What's written there?
[00:15] ---
    It says,
    “Existence precedes essence.”
[00:20] ---
    What does that mean?
[00:22] ---
    It means humans
    are created by how they live
[00:26] ---
    each and every moment
    by their own existence,
[00:30] ---
    and not something determined
    beforehand.
[00:34] ---
    I don't get it all.
[00:37] ---
    There will be a time
    when you will understand.
[00:40] ---
    Now...
[00:41] ---
    Are we heading to the Playground?
[00:43] ---
    Eve, you should stay home
    and read a book today.
[00:46] ---
    I wanna go, too!
[00:48] ---
    You can't.
[00:49] ---
    But...
[00:50] ---
    I'll be right back.
    And when I come back, I'll play with you.
[00:54] ---
    Really, Elder Brother?
    Then I'll wait for you!
[00:57] ---
    Good boy.
[00:59] ---
    I'll wait right here
    until you get back!
[01:09] ---
    Promise, Big Brother?
[02:44] ---
    Did you know, 2B?
[02:46] ---
    About what?
[02:47] ---
    Deer of that size apparently eat roughly
    25 kilograms of grass in a day.
[02:53] ---
    And what about it?
[02:54] ---
    That means they're spending
    about half the day eating grass.
[02:59] ---
    Animals have very low fuel efficiency.
[03:02] ---
    According to the records, humans also
    ate meals three times a day.
[03:06] ---
    Perhaps you can say that humans
    weren't that functional either.
[03:10] ---
    Humans are existences to protect.
[03:12] ---
    Good or bad fuel efficiency
    has nothing to do with it.
[03:15] ---
    That sounds like you, 2B.
[03:19] ---
    Oh, that’s right.
[03:20] ---
    About that anomaly that got away...
[03:22] ---
    I haven't gotten any analysis results
    from the Bunker whatsoever.
[03:26] ---
    We haven't even received an additional order
    to pursue and investigate.
[03:29] ---
    Don't you think that’s a bit strange?
[03:31] ---
    It feels like the Bunker's
    correspondence with us...
[03:32] ---
    That’s just saying how much
    of an important case it is, right?
[03:36] ---
    But...
[03:37] ---
    They're just being careful about it.
[03:40] ---
    Is that really so?
[03:41] ---
    I get a feeling that
    they're intentionally not telling us.
[03:46] ---
    Operator 6O to 2B.
[03:49] ---
    It's time for your
    regularly scheduled report.

[03:51] ---
    This is 2B. Nothing to repor—
[03:53] ---
    2B, please listen. I was looking at image data
    for flowers today.

[03:58] ---
    Flowers?
[03:59] ---
    Yes. In the very few documents
    recorded in the Bunker,

[04:03] ---
    there was a flower called a Lunar Tear.
[04:06] ---
    I bet you'd look really nice
[04:08] ---
    if you put one of those in your hair, 2B.
    It'd suit your stylish looks!

[04:11] ---
    There is no need.
[04:13] ---
    Oh, don't say that. What kind of girl
    doesn't want to look good?

[04:17] ---
    I'll let you know
    if I find anything else that’s cute, okay?

[04:22] ---
    Um, there’s something
    I would like to ask.
[04:24] ---
    Yes?
[04:25] ---
    About the confirmation status
    of that anomaly...
[04:27] ---
    I'm sorry, that's out of my jurisdiction,
    so I don't know.

[04:33] ---
    But anyway, I would very much like
    to see a real Lunar Tear.

[04:38] ---
    If you manage to find one,
    please let me know.

[04:41] ---
    Operator 6O, out.
[04:44] ---
    Um...
[04:47] ---
    Didn't that seem a little strange,
    like I told you?
[04:50] ---
    Indeed. There is no need
    for hairpins in my mission.
[04:54] ---
    No!
[04:55] ---
    Not about that.
[04:56] ---
    It felt like she was somewhat dodging
    my question right?
[05:00] ---
    Missions don't need hairpins...
[05:03] ---
    or excessive scrutiny.
[05:07] ---
    Wouldn't it be okay
    to at least have a hairpin?
[05:09] ---
    I would like to see that as well.
[05:12] ---
    And you can start calling me
    "Nines" at any point, okay?
[05:16] ---
    Not yet.
[05:17] ---
    Not yet?
[05:21] ---
    Please hold on!
    That is a dangerous place!

[05:24] ---
    That machine lifeform...
[05:25] ---
    Oh, please come back!
[05:27] ---
    Something’s wrong.
    Let's go after them.
[05:29] ---
    Huh? It might be a trap!
[05:33] ---
    Sheesh.
[05:37] ---
    My oh my, what a great place
    to see the two of you.

[05:42] ---
    Truly help from the heavens!
[05:46] ---
    What’s going on?
[05:48] ---
    The thing is, it seems her little sister
    has gotten lost.

[05:53] ---
    Her little sister?
[05:55] ---
    It's all my fault.
[05:56] ---
    I think she overheard me complaining about
    how one of my parts was starting to seize up.

[06:03] ---
    So she went off to the Forest Kingdom
    in search of replacement parts.

[06:08] ---
    The "kingdom" is a very dangerous place
    with many violent and insular machine lifeforms.

[06:14] ---
    Why go to such a place?
[06:16] ---
    The parts are very old,
[06:18] ---
    so they can only be obtained
    in the ruins within the Forest Kingdom.

[06:21] ---
    Please, please find my little sister!
[06:26] ---
    She is the only family I have.
[06:30] ---
    There, there.
[06:30] ---
    Please, please, please.
[06:31] ---
    So I've been wondering for a while...
[06:34] ---
    What does it mean
    to be machine lifeform siblings?
[06:38] ---
    Maybe they were built
    in the same factory?
[06:41] ---
    Maybe.
[06:42] ---
    Both of you...
[06:43] ---
    You wouldn't be able to help, would you?
[06:48] ---
    I decline.
    We don't have such duties or obligations—
[06:51] ---
    It's my fault!
[06:54] ---
    Yes. Right. You must be worried.
[06:57] ---
    So, please?
[06:59] ---
    We don't have such—
[07:00] ---
    I have to do something about this!
[07:02] ---
    Something will be done, it will!
[07:05] ---
    I must hurry over and save her!
[07:09] ---
    They will hurry over. They will... Right?
[07:12] ---
    Right? Right?
[07:14] ---
    Right?
[07:17] ---
    Where can we start looking?
[07:19] ---
    Thank you very much.
[07:21] ---
    No way.
[07:22] ---
    They will make sure to find
    your little sister. I promise you!

[07:27] ---
    I'm so happy!
[07:30] ---
    Right, both of you?
[07:40] ---
    Pascal, that body...
[07:42] ---
    Oh, this?
[07:44] ---
    Isn't it great? I tuned it up myself.
[07:48] ---
    So you can interchange body parts.
[07:51] ---
    Yes. I am a machine lifeform after all.
[07:53] ---
    Most parts are interchangeable.
    For instance...

[07:57] ---
    I can make my chest into a chainsaw.
[08:00] ---
    I can make my torso into a boat.
[08:02] ---
    I can play with the children.
[08:04] ---
    So it is rather useful.
[08:07] ---
    Useful, or you lack principles.
[08:10] ---
    How is it for you androids?
[08:13] ---
    We are different
    from you machine lifeforms
[08:16] ---
    in that we can't mess with our bodies much,
    nor do we want to.
[08:20] ---
    It's more useful when you can
    interchange parts. Right, 2B?

[08:25] ---
    How much parts do you swap out
    before you lose yourself?
[08:29] ---
    I never gave any thought to that.
[08:33] ---
    I wonder how much it would be?
    Truly fascinating.

[08:36] ---
    It wouldn't matter how much
    for machine lifeforms.
[08:39] ---
    Because you can easily change anything.
[08:42] ---
    You're quite caustic.
[08:46] ---
    If you take the wings from a bird,
    will it no longer be a bird?

[08:50] ---
    If you took antlers from a deer,
    will it no longer be a deer?

[08:54] ---
    What needs to remain
    for you to still be yourself?
[08:59] ---
    I believe there is some value
    in thinking about that.

[09:01] ---
    What kind of value
    do machine lifeforms have?
[09:04] ---
    9S.
[09:06] ---
    Because they...
[09:06] ---
    9S.
[09:08] ---
    Both of you...
[09:09] ---
    We'll arrive at our target location soon.
    We may be noticed by hostile units.

[09:14] ---
    Let's land before proceeding further.
[09:16] ---
    You're the only one flying.
[09:18] ---
    9S.
[09:19] ---
    Okay.
[09:28] ---
    FOREST KINGDOM
[09:33] ---
    Perhaps it is your heart?
[09:36] ---
    Huh?
[09:37] ---
    Our discussion from earlier.
[09:39] ---
    What needs to remain
    for you to still be yourself.

[09:42] ---
    The answer is perhaps your heart?
[09:46] ---
    The big sister worried about her little sister.
    Isn't that all because she has a heart?

[09:51] ---
    A heart on a machine lifeform?
[09:55] ---
    Is that strange?
[09:56] ---
    Strange or not, that's something
    completely impossible.
[10:00] ---
    Then, are androids also lacking "hearts"?
[10:04] ---
    This thing...
[10:06] ---
    How strange.
[10:08] ---
    I don't see the lookout soldiers.
[10:10] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:11] ---
    The forest is their territory,
[10:14] ---
    so usually they show themselves
    when we simply set foot in here.

[10:18] ---
    Something like this has never...
[10:20] ---
    Oh! Over there!
[10:22] ---
    It's the little sister's ribbon!
[10:24] ---
    There's no doubt about it.
[10:26] ---
    We must find the little sister quickly.
[10:28] ---
    Report. Confirmed hostile
    machine lifeform signal up ahead.

[10:34] ---
    H-Hold on.
[10:36] ---
    I will go see what's going on first,
    as a fellow machine lifeform!

[10:41] ---
    I just can't fully trust you.
[10:43] ---
    I will convince them,
    so please wait here.

[10:46] ---
    My name is Pascal!
    I am the leader of a peaceful village!

[10:50] ---
    Please listen to what I have to say first!
[10:54] ---
    Maybe there's some sort of catch?
[10:56] ---
    I don't think so.
[11:01] ---
    It was teetering as it stood,
    so I approached it,

[11:04] ---
    and it suddenly split in two.
[11:06] ---
    Looks like quite the master who did this.
[11:08] ---
    Yeah. It was downed in one blow.
[11:11] ---
    Who in the world...
[11:13] ---
    That master might be up ahead.
[11:17] ---
    There is a need for us to understand
[11:19] ---
    the current situation, so we can search
    for the little sister, too.

[11:23] ---
    Up ahead is the center of the kingdom.
[11:26] ---
    It’s the castle where the king lives.
[11:37] ---
    Indeed, this does seem
    like a castle where a king lives.
[11:41] ---
    Don't let your guard down.
[11:42] ---
    Okay.
[11:48] ---
    The Forest Kingdom army
    is known for their strength, and yet...

[11:57] ---
    You came again, android!
[12:00] ---
    Android?
[12:03] ---
    D-Die!
[12:08] ---
    What in the...
[12:09] ---
    Pod, are there any combat records
    for a separate squad?
[12:12] ---
    Analysis. No orders have been given
[12:14] ---
    for YoRHa Soldiers
    to be deployed into current area.

[12:19] ---
    Then who...
[12:30] ---
    What's that?
[12:33] ---
    I have heard in the past.
[12:35] ---
    I believe this is the previous king.
[12:38] ---
    King?
[12:40] ---
    It seems like this unit
    broke down quite a while ago.
[12:48] ---
    This is media for recording.
[12:52] ---
    Pod, share data.
[12:54] ---
    Affirmative.
    Media recording data saved.

[12:58] ---
    Commencing sharing.
[13:02] ---
    256 YEARS AGO
[13:05] ---
    I think. Therefore, I have resolved.
[13:09] ---
    This land will be our kingdom,
    and I declare our sublime independence!

[13:17] ---
    Kingdom?
[13:19] ---
    What's that?
[13:21] ---
    A kingdom is something like
    a large house.

[13:25] ---
    And citizens
    are something like a family.

[13:30] ---
    Good. Good. That sounds good.
[13:37] ---
    The machine lifeform community of this nation
    had been established far before ours.

[13:44] ---
    I admire them.
[13:45] ---
    Why did they hold onto such a record
    like it was something so important?
[13:49] ---
    Perhaps to reminisce.
[13:52] ---
    Reminisce?
[13:53] ---
    They want to know how they came to be.
[13:58] ---
    Besides, it's not a record. It's history.
[14:02] ---
    How are they different?
[14:03] ---
    History is something
    filled with their emotions.

[14:07] ---
    See, over here too.
[14:11] ---
    128 YEARS AGO
[14:13] ---
    The king has died.
[14:16] ---
    Our king who gave us energy.
[14:19] ---
    So sad.
[14:21] ---
    Yeah. So sad.
[14:24] ---
    I put memory in this child
    as a memento of our king.

[14:29] ---
    We'll raise this one to be our next king.
[14:36] ---
    We are family.
[14:38] ---
    The kingdom is our home.
[14:43] ---
    4 HOURS AGO
[14:44] ---
    Today is a festival
    to celebrate the day our king died!

[14:48] ---
    A festival to celebrate
    the birth of a new king!

[14:53] ---
    B-Big news!
[14:55] ---
    An intruder has entered the kingdom!
[15:04] ---
    Intruder?
[15:07] ---
    The citizens are very exclusive, so...
[15:13] ---
    Pascal, stay here.
    We will go look for it.
[15:17] ---
    It's all right. I will go with you!
[15:19] ---
    But...
[15:20] ---
    2B, let's leave it alone already.
[15:23] ---
    What are you saying
    after we've come this far?
[15:24] ---
    There are too many things happening
    that are beyond our expectations.
[15:27] ---
    There's a possibility
    that it's a trap this thing set up.
[15:30] ---
    I have done no such thing.
[15:31] ---
    What if this thing is connected
    with whatever this intruder is?
[15:35] ---
    We don't have proof of that anywhere.
    In any case, we need to find the little sister.
[15:41] ---
    Thank you very much.
[15:45] ---
    You're such a softie, 2B.
[15:57] ---
    Pascal...
[15:59] ---
    You called me Pascal for the first time.
[16:03] ---
    Why?
[16:12] ---
    Pod, look up the machine lifeform signal
    that they're searching for.
[16:15] ---
    Affirmative.
[16:16] ---
    9S.
[16:18] ---
    Thank you so much!
[16:21] ---
    How can I show my gratitude?
[16:23] ---
    You don't need to do anything like that.
[16:25] ---
    But I must insist.
[16:28] ---
    I still don't trust you yet.
[16:31] ---
    I might be able to know more about
    the mystery android sooner if I helped you.
[16:35] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[16:37] ---
    Report. Confirmed
    machine lifeform signal.

[16:42] ---
    Right here?
[16:43] ---
    Little Sister,
    if you're here, come ou—

[16:50] ---
    Uncle Pascal?
[16:52] ---
    Oh, I'm glad.
    You were all right, Little Sister.

[16:56] ---
    I was scared! I was so scared!
[17:01] ---
    There, there, it's all right now.
[17:04] ---
    I was searching for Big Sister's parts, and...
[17:07] ---
    I know. I know.
    You are a really good girl.

[17:14] ---
    These folks here were able to find you.
[17:17] ---
    Big Brother, Big Sister, thank you!
[17:21] ---
    Well, it's nothing worth thanking me about.
[17:24] ---
    Right, 2B?
[17:28] ---
    You guys are...
[17:31] ---
    It's all right.
    They came here to look for me.

[17:35] ---
    But these guys are...
[17:37] ---
    This is the one who saved me.
[17:41] ---
    I see. Thank you for taking care of her.
[17:44] ---
    These androids came with me
    for the rescue.

[17:48] ---
    There's nothing to worry about.
[17:50] ---
    We'll see.
[17:51] ---
    By the way, I’m going to become
    a family with this one!

[17:57] ---
    I want to be family! I love him
    just as much as I love my Big Sister.

[18:05] ---
    Oh, so you're getting married.
    This is a joyous occasion!

[18:09] ---
    Right! Married! I'm getting married!
[18:12] ---
    Machine lifeforms getting married?
[18:15] ---
    Um, what exactly happened here?
[18:19] ---
    Everyone was defeated by the intruder.
[18:23] ---
    So I beg you. Our king...
    Please save our little king.

[18:30] ---
    Little king?
[18:32] ---
    Please. Please.
[18:36] ---
    We found the little sister now,
    so why don't we head back?
[18:40] ---
    Big Brother, Big Sister,
    please save the king.

[18:45] ---
    Hey, we're not some handymen, okay?
[18:47] ---
    Where is he?
[18:48] ---
    2B.
[18:50] ---
    Up above, in the throne room.
[18:53] ---
    Wait here.
[18:55] ---
    Hold on a second, 2B!
[19:01] ---
    There are limits on how much
    of a softie you can be!
[19:03] ---
    In the first place, machine lifeforms...
[19:07] ---
    This voice...
[19:12] ---
    Over there.
[19:20] ---
    So this is...
[19:22] ---
    ...the little king.
[19:45] ---
    2B, that's an android!
[19:49] ---
    So that's the intruder
    who destroyed the kingdom...

[19:55] ---
    What are you doing?
[19:57] ---
    YoRHa units are protecting
    a machine lifeform?
[20:03] ---
    Confirming that this is a unit
    wanted by YoRHa, the fugitive unit A2.

[20:08] ---
    Annihilation recommended.
[20:09] ---
    She's an enemy?
    But she's a YoRHa unit just like us.
[20:14] ---
    A2 is a deserter. She has betrayed
    the Council of Humanity,

[20:17] ---
    and destroyed multiple pursuit androids.
[20:20] ---
    Destroyed? But why?
[20:22] ---
    9S. Let's go.
[20:23] ---
    2B!
[20:36] ---
    Why? Why did you betray us?
[20:42] ---
    Command is the one that betrayed.
[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.

    Hello, everyone.
[22:51] ---
    - Hello!
    - Hello!
[22:54] ---
    Today, let's study up about
    the Kingdom of Day and Kingdom of Night.

[22:58] ---
    - Okay!
    - Okay!
[22:59] ---
    The place where we are in now
    is called the Kingdom of Day.

[23:03] ---
    It never turns to night here.
[23:06] ---
    Do you all know what night is?
[23:08] ---
    I don't know!
[23:09] ---
    I know!
[23:11] ---
    Night is the condition where light
    from a star called the Sun doesn't reach.

[23:16] ---
    When that happens, the light from the skies
    like we have now would be all gone.

[23:20] ---
    - Scary!
    - Scary!
[23:22] ---
    And in the Kingdom of Night,
    where the light of day does not reach,

[23:25] ---
    a giant creature called a dragon
    flies through the skies—

[23:27] ---
    Hey.
[23:30] ---
    - So scary!
    - So scary!
[23:34] ---
    A2 destroyed Pascal.
    Pascal's death lead to the collapse of his village
    and its residents went out of control,
    resulting in the elimination
    of all androids on Earth.
