New episode today!

Are you ready?
>>
Maybe I made this thread too early. I think it's still like 4 hours till broadcast.

Really wondering if this episode will stick to the game events or if it will deviate in some significant way.
>>
When will the real MC show up?
>>
I'm not sure if I want to pick this show or not. I'm still disappointed with The World Ends With You not using game music. Do they use the game OST?

I wanna say it's unlikely to happen but who knows, Yoko Taro is a madman. We did already see Eve transform into a monster from NieR Re[in]carnation with no explanation.
I think it's more likely we'll see pic related on screen. Especially if things deviate from the game this episode. She's observing the events according to the eyecatch hex codes.

>Do they use the game OST?
Yes, they do. Saito had Keichi Okabe and Yoko Taro write the ending theme for cour 2 as well. Here's a music video using the Square Enix vtubers (the ED in the actual show is different).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqQP4zBBv4g
You should pick it up if you are into the series. There are encrypted messages in the eyecatches that confirm this is a different branch that deviated from the games in the past, so things in the show play out differently with added content. We're confirmed to be getting a new ending and since it's Yoko Taro anything could happen.

>>
>>269214792
I think they want to follow the main events of the original story, so.. That said, I found it interesting that 9S treated 2B of the virus in the anime last episode -- that didn't happen in the game. Who knows though, anything can happen, both 2B and 9S are confirmed singularities.

Here's all of the lore contained in the blu-ray box.

Pic related, one of the entries

>>269214701
I was hoping we'd get some explanation of why their design has what looks like a dragon's head in the torso. On a sidenote, Michael in his novella talks about having fought against puppets and insects in "the old world", I don't think this refers to these dark monsters, but I was wondering if they could be related since they're the only insects we've seen so far.

In the game I didn't feel so sad because she barely had a personality, but Taro fixed her in the anime and probably will make her death worse so I will feel bad this time

Group B captured one of Accord's clones and made her became evil or they killed her and only picked up her body to be able to transform into her? I think they have the hability to transform into anyone they want, don't they?

We know very little about Group B. As far as I know they have only been mentioned a small number of times.
>Twice in the SINoALICE x Drag-On Dragoon 3 crossover (once in Accord's weapon story and once in the main story).
>Two or three times in the eyecatches for previous episodes of the anime.
Pic related is Accord's weapon story from the crossover. It's where the idea that they can "assimilate" Accords comes from. Also, note that they distinctly use different terms (translated here as "recorder" vs "observer").
>>
>>269217241
Thank you anon, I already read about that, I was in doubt about what their assimilate meant.

Oh yeah, we have no idea. We don't even know if Group B are androids or what.
I think they might be either the puppets or the insects mentioned in Michael's novella (which tells Michael's perspective of The Cataclysm). Yoko has confirmed that Accord and the two puppets in SINoALICE are related in some way and Accord speculates that said puppets are working with Group B. Yoko has also stated that Accord was created in the Kingdom of Night around the same time that dragons were created. So somehow all of these things seem to be related but it's anyone's guess as to how.
Oh, also, apparently Accord is somehow related to the first battle with Grun that destroyed the North 12C Defense HQ mentioned by 42S in the Type-4O Lance weapon story. Make of that what you will.

thanks lads. Nier threads on /a/ are so fucking good.

I torrent and watch it a little late. It's fine though cause threads on new episode day almost always go past the bump limit and there's often more than one.

this. Yui Ishikawa did a magnificent job. In the few moments where 2B gets emotionally worked up, Yui fucking delivers.
>>
>>269217542
I will need to read more about these things later, I didn't read everything yet. It's really interesting these things about Kingdom of Night, I wish we had more info about it
>>
>>269217886
No, at least as far as I can tell. Same with the short story "Mida Mi Nu You He" included with the Blu-Ray. I can't even find info on what either one is about.
>>
I know that they tried, but this isn't working for me. The anime has none of the impact and subtlety that the games have. It's also visually mediocre. I don't want to shit on it, but I just don't see the point anymore.
>>
>>269217622
crossover threads are always the best, e.g. Elden Ring threads on /v/ are dogshit, but the manga threads on /a/ are megacomfy

This.
The anime is dropping end-game plot twists really early and adding in a bunch of extra content including an entire episode covering (a branch of) the YoRHa stage play and stuff referencing Replicant. It feels to me like it's definitely more geared towards the fanbase than people who haven't played the game or only played Automata. We're confirmed to be getting a new ending too!

A2 should have been a 2B without memories. Her kaine/zero act is also pretty bad. Also a rebooted 2B would fit since 9S was rebooted over and over

A2 has an entire stage play worth of character development. She's also only a few months older than 2B so really we know more about A2's life than we do about 2B or 9S. Unfortunately the stage play wasn't performed outside of Japan and very few people outside of Japan go for that type of content. It's a shame cause it's got some real kino scenes.
https://youtu.be/jZV1FaE9pPE?t=816
I'm glad they're adapting bits of it for the anime (we're confirmed to be getting another episode covering those events).
>>269219362
She inherits 2B's memories (through 2B's memory alloy sword) which is why her personality softens.

I vaguely recall it being canon that someone in-universe speculated that a human purposely sabotaged the project early on because they wanted Replicants to live instead of humans. Don't remember who or what (e.g. a document) this was though.
>>269220796
Would be kind of surprised if they didn't, though it may turn out differently.
>>269220650
The last Replicant dies out about 800 years before the aliens invade and about 700 years after NieR Replicant. There's just a bunch of android factions and Emil around at that point.
>>269221032
They confirmed it during a TV special, see pic.

There goes the myth of 9S being too weak to bridal carry 2B.

if you want a serious answer. she says it in the episode later. ``kowashitekita``
``breaking``

Oh right, this better explains that 9S knew that she was infected by the virus, in the game she doesn't have red eyes in that scene.

You're not wrong, but I still think the cast of Yorha boys is super interesting and they never get attention because they're not waifubait.

do you think they'll add some of the emil quest or just stick with pascal's storyline

Did you forget that the draft of the Stage Play was written by Yoko Taro? The real villains of the story and the true level of how fucked up that all was haven't been revealed yet.
Also, since we're doing A2 flashbacks, I wonder if we'll get more flashbacks from later life on the run.

Hmm, so A2 won't fight Hegel since it's destroyed.

>>269224205
It wasn't in the game, it was in the YoRHa stage play. As far as A2's later life on the run, that's covered in a chapter of the Long Story Short novel that gives A2's perspective of the Forest King murder/encounter with B2/9S.

IIRC one of the books mentioned that she met 2B and 9S a bunch of times in the past and every time she killed them both. Personally I want to see a montage of her YoRHa outfit degrading until it ends up like her current appearance.

Yeah, that's from a Long Story Short. Scroll down to chapter 3.

Did you forget that the Commander told 2B/9S that they had sent a bunch of squads after her and she had destroyed them? Guess who they sent.

A2 is the same model of 2B or you forgot? She is specialized in killing yorhas too.
>>
>>269224809
commander is such a dick

It took me all this time to realize that 9S' seiyuu is also Bell Cranel.
Wait, he was Azudora too?
>>
>>269225067
He was casted because of his work as Kaneki
>>
>>269224934
They just have the same base personality (but the pearl harbor mission turned A2 into a murder hobo and the guilt from killing 9S made 2B suppress her emotions and try to wall herself off). The types and features are different. A2 also has that berserk mode.
A2 is only a few months older than 2B and 2B is made using A2's combat data from the pearl harbor but I think a lot of it comes down to experience and the fact that A2 hasn't died once all these years and retains memories of fighting 2B and 9S (whereas each time they face her is their first time).

its crazy how the "Yorha" project preceded automata and taro just decided to connect drakengard/replicant like it was fucking nothing, and i guess if you are a yorha fan before, probably be excited to play automata for the first time when it released since you know the story behind the machine war and A2

Who knows. He said Voice of Cards had no relation to Nier and then there was an enemy that looked almost exactly like a Drakengard design and Beasts of Burden had some Automata tones towards the end. Though I did read somewhere that he might have been sly with his words about what constitutes a Taroverse game or some technicality like that but I don't even remember that much.

They're both Emil clones. The original Emil is still around somewhere but I don't think any info of where that is has come out. Here's a side story on the Emil we see in the game.
https://theark.wiki/w/Emil%27s_Recollection
I think I remember hearing once that the original Emil was the one who repaired Kaine's home and he left a clone to maintain it, which is why it's still around thousands of years later -- but I have no idea if that's true and don't remember where I heard that. If anyone knows I would appreciate more info.

Best guess is getting as damaged as she did opened a vector for the logic virus to get in. During the starting raid 2B was gonna field-medic heal 9S with gel and virus vaccine. It stands to reason that any place with machine lifeforms or compromised androids is a place with risk of getting infected especially with open wounds.
Hell, in the YoRHA flashback one of the droids get infected from just hanging about in nature.

>A2 has to pick up 2Bs sword (in order to gain her memories).
>9S could die instead, but that would mean turning 2B into a maniac and we wouldn't have 9S hacking skills to carry the narrative.
>2B could maybe secretly survive, without 9S knowledge. Like if instead of being infected she fell into the ravine and 9S blamed A2 for it. I think the challenge with this is that her blackbox signal has to become undetectable somehow, and pod somehow has to get reassigned to A2 (for there to be dialogue to carry the narrative on A2's side of the story). 2B would also have to remain out of action until the story has progressed enough to hit the rest of the big story beats. I like this idea and it gives an opening for Accord to show up, but if I had to choose between the emotional impact of 2B surviving and reuniting at the end vs the emotional impact of Ending E, I would go with the latter. Who knows what kind of ending we're going to get though.
I don't think it's impossible to do but there are a lot of constraints and challenges to doing it if they still plan to hit the same story events (which they've said they plan to do). I was hoping they'd figure out a way to do it too though.
>>269229304
The haircut is symbolic, to reinforce that A2 has accepted 2B's memories and wishes. The show has a ton of heavy symbolism, everything from the visors representing not seeing the truth to The Bunker being in black and white to represent that it's already a lifeless world.

Hello

I think the reason A2 feels so out of place is due to Yoko Taro writing his twists backwards. He wanted to shock the audience with the player character dying, and so he made a up a contrived nonsensical plot for it to happen. He had no idea where to take it from there and just made up random bullshit and literal insanity.

I haven't played that crossover (don't play that genre of games in general) but I've watched some videos and I still have no idea what to make of it. The thing about the seed being full of people's memories sounds like it could be really important. I can't tell if it's just Yoko doing a recurring Evangelion theme/reference or if human memories are actually even more important in the NieR lore than has been revealed.
They kind of referenced the whole Angel thing with Adam's giant transformation in cour 1, but it just didn't have the same impact. I'd lose my mind if an actual angel showed up though. Vids related, Angels:

>>
>>269230101
No, it's because A2's character development happens in the stage play. Here is a tl;dr of her story arc:
>A2 is a cute kind girl who is kind of a bad fit for combat.
>Shit goes down in the Pearl Harbor descent mission where YoRHa betrays her (more will be revealed next episode) and she becomes a rage filled enemy of the state isolationist who spends all her time killing machines and killing the YoRHa kill squads that come after her.
>After 2B's death she inherits 2B's memories and wishes. This leads her to interacting with people again and slowly healing, no more YoRHa kill squads, starts interacting more with other androids, starts seeing that not all machines are enemies, etc..
>In her ending she selflessly saves the last YoRHa soldier, 9S (who had been sent to kill her many times before), and sacrifices herself while saying that she had never realized the world was so beautiful.
Without the stage play knowledge, players are kind of just left to guess as to why she's a murderhobo and her arc doesn't have the same impact.

So 8 episodes left
-Next is More pearl harbor and probably the start of A2's part, hegel is destroyed so they probably can fit the end A2's first gameplay sectio
-They probably can fit the 2 9S parts in one episode, ending on the 21O fight
-Emil story takes maybe half a episode? Other half can be used for Route C side quest/A2 being introduced to pascal.
-Pascal's story takes a full episode.
-idk where Devola and Popola's story happen, it'll be a bit weird to make it fit.
-3 to 4 episodes dedicated to the tower and the new ending
>>
>>269230486
I'm not sure anyone really understands what exactly is the deal (timeloops+branches+multiple versions of the story makes things complicated+contradictions between HIM and HER's accounts of the event). My understanding is that:
>The world has looped 62,471 times. Him can see it due to maso powered quantum computer nonsense.
>In many (or possibly all) of those loops, Kaine shows up and blows up the maso engine using it to revive the world-ender using singularity magic. This is in the Lost World story that's the ending for the original version of NieR Replicant.
>In timeloop 62,472, we're now in NieR Replicant ver. 1.22. HIM creates HER and starts teaching her to use the quantum computer to see human history. Kaine shows up and goes deeper into the quantum computer instead of just destroying it. Kaine kills them both, HIM sees that the future is different this time (and he seemingly awakens in a place like the cage), HER survives and is pissed that she's alone now and human history is a hellscape. This timeline follows all the way through ending E of automata to Re[in]carnation.
The reason isn't revealed but it kind of just seems like things are different this time. Maybe it's because Kaine went deeper, maybe it's because HER exists, no one knows. This loop is the first time that HER encounters Kaine though and there are differences between the two versions of The Lost World story (the NieR Replicant version and the NieR Replicant ver 1.22 version).

Reincarnation was the last nier and is the present one, I was refering to it.

I know that brothers are data, but I think they can be reincarnated too.

You can read it in text form at the Resistance Camp in route C, but yeah it's not much more immersive than just reading a summary online. One thing I wish the anime didn't change was that originally it was Number 21, not A2, that sperged out about "family" when one of the Resistance members got infected. Mainly because it later plays into operator 21O having an interest in families, presumably from using the same personality data as number 21. Also her being a scanner like 9S. And most importantly it adds a new layer to A2 being the one to kill her.
>>
>>269231412
I feel like the rest of Pearl Harbor will take an entire episode. First half for combat, and second half to get shit on by truth bombs.
The whole point of the Hegel fight in the game is just to get A2 EMP'd so they can do the whole memory recovery scene -- but that scene is already happening in the anime in a different way so I think they'll flat out cut that fight out.
As for the rest, who knows, things may happen in a different order or differently. I think we definitely have to visit the resource recovery units (cause they already showed them launching and it'd be weird to leave them out) and we'll definitely have to cover Pascal cause that's too popular to cut. Devola and Popola could be integrated into the tower, especially if they rework the tower and ending. The 21O fight and 2B copy fights could be merged maybe, but I think they're both necessary. Fortunately, lots of the big pieces of end-game revelations are already out of the way so there should be time to explain the remaining ones.

>>269231931
>One thing I wish the anime didn't change was that originally it was Number 21, not A2, that sperged out about "family" when one of the Resistance members got infected.
They probably did it to reinforce A2's kind and naive personality. They should've done episode 6 as two episodes imo, but Automata onlies would've probably complained.

Last episode is live action footage of the pods' voice actors storming Square Enix HQ and forcing the CEO to greenlight a new Nier game while the ending E music plays.

We have 8 episodes left. 2B is already hers, but I think she'll realize either during the flashback or after it and will be pissed at him for looking at her memories.
I entirely forgot about Lily, I think we're definitely going to get something important from her. It'd be lame if they never showed off her having gravity powers (unless that's just not a thing in this branch). She definitely has to meet up with A2 at some point as well.
Also, the first real appearance of The Red Girls will be during A2's flashback.

Yes that's right, the last episodes can be told much more efficiently that way.

I doubt they'll show more than one recovery unit

You're right. Gestalt will be a live action Hollywood movie.

Damn this is a great adaptation. Shame they fucked up the production in S1.

lmfao, it'd be a miniseries by Netflix. I can imagine it now.

Kainé would be the one time I might be okay with a "girlboss" character kicking the shit out of the main character. It would be out of character if she didn't.

I think I will watch the reincarnation videos today, I was reading the side material and now I think I fell in love with 10H, she seems better and more intresting than 2B and A2

>>269234168
NTA. He does write the ending first, but he probably started with
>9S slowly loses his humanity and A2 slowly regains her humanity until they fight and she saves him at the end.
Cause Yoko doesn't actually care about lore as much as he cares about character arcs.

Yeah, it's all Keichi Okabe and it's actually both fucking amazing and has a ton of tracks. He also did the music for SINoALICE but it's not as good (most of the OST is kind of basic atmospheric music).

>Title: NieR Re[in]carnation Official Document Collection -The Story of “The Cage” and Prayers
>Content: A memorial archive commemorating the conclusion of NieR Re[in]carnation. The book contains character visuals, weapon stories, and stories that had not been implemented in the game.
>464 pages seems like an awfully huge thing, but it will likely be similar to what they did with the SINoALICE book which was mostly a collection of weapon stories, although that was over 1,000 pages… This at lease sounds to contain more than just the stories, not to mention unreleased material, so that sounds super interesting.

huh, had no idea they did that.

>>269234725
At least they will translate the new stuff that will be in it. I fucking hope Taro made a extended ending for reincarnation too.

Reincarnation also had a cover of Normandy from the YoRHa stage play.

Great episode. My wife A2 is finally here.
>>
>>269225752
>Handover of observation target completed.
Wait the observation target is Virtuous Contract?
>>
>>269235422
My first thought is no, cause Accords observe singularities -- but then again, Accords distribute those memory alloy weapons to collect memories. I hope some native speaker eventually comes by and provides more accurate translations.
>>
>>269235481
It's hard for this to happen tho, maybe some group can collects the codes and translates
>>
>>269235422
I think it's more like "changed from observing 2B to A2"
>>
>>269235534
Accord already said that in the first report >>269225544
>>
>>269235528
I looked around the subreddit and discord some time ago and while they are posting the codes as well they're also using machine translation, sometimes getting really obviously wrong translations. I don't mind collecting them and putting them in one place for someone to translate. I suppose I'll ask in next week's thread.
>>
>>269235605
Please do it anon
>>
>>269235552
NTA but maybe it means handover between two different Accords.
>>269235615
Will do
>>
>>269235628
So Accord is starting to move? Because she said last episode that group b began to attack
>>
>>269235667
I'm wondering about that too. The messages seem to be related to what's going on in the episode. Like the flashback episodes have messages that talk about the past. Makes me wonder if the attack last episode actually happened during last episode's events.
>>
>>269235750
It's crazy that everything is happening at the same fucking time. I think the chances of Accord actually appears are big
