Nier: Automata Ver1.1a (2023) s01e01 Episode Script
Or Not to [B]e
1
How long will I keep fighting
within this blood-soaked vortex
of the battlefield?
How long will I keep protecting
within these infinite killings
that will never end?
How long will I keep believing
in this world filled
with deception and fabrication?
How long will I keep telling lies
while continually feeling despair
at the bleak future?
Lost 1D.
Following regulations,
2B will assume the role of mission captain.
Lost 4B.
Enemy units confirmed ahead.
Engaging combat
with a large enemy machine lifeform.
Requesting permission
to assume mobile configuration.
Permission granted.
2B to Operator 6O.
All other allied units have been lost.
I expect problems in executing the mission.
Awaiting orders.
O-Operator to 2B. Please rendezvous
with 9S onsite and gather terrain intel.
Afterwards, follow original plans.
Seek to destroy the target, the Goliath-class
weapon, and gather more information.
Roger.
-
Heavy damage to Ho229 flight unit. - Flight-control systems abandoned.
-
Confirming terrain Long-range. - Transferring FCS control.
- Initiating 2B vitals recheck sequence. - Initiating short-range radio-wave
- Confirming 2B black box signal. - Activating N
Activating short-range attack gear.
Multiple enemy unit signals confirmed.
I can see that.
No matter how much you oil it up,
it won't come back to life.
That should be it for disabling
the enemy base defense system
Looks like
it's about to begin.
Just one unit? No ally units.
Operator 21O to 9S. Do you copy?
Yup, yup! I hear you!
You only need to acknowledge once.
Okay.
Confirmed infiltration of YoRHa Soldiers
into enemy base from a descent operation.
However, only one unit remains.
That's quite an ordeal.
Contact with enemy defense weapons
confirmed.
Please head over to assist
the attack squadron that infiltrated.
Roger that.
And now
Time to do my best at work!
Enemies destroyed.
No.
Is this
the target Goliath-class weapon?
Negative.
This enemy unit is not the target.
Quick eradication suggested.
It's easy for you to say.
Pod!
Gather energy! Close-range
marksmanship mode at full power!
Warning: ordered
Ordered attack
puts a high load on the chassis-
Pod!
Fire!
Thirteen hours and 34 minutes of cooldown time
required for another attack of a similar nature.
Confirmed enemy reboot.
Fire missiles.
It's dangerous
if you don't make sure they're dead.
You're Miss 2B, right?
I'm 9S. I was given orders to support you.
Roger.
So
Is this giant buzz saw
the Goliath-class weapon that you're after?
It's not.
Looks like it's just a defense unit.
Then it looks like
we have to search for the target.
Yeah.
And we'll destroy the core unit.
Understood.
I have a flight unit,
so I'll look around the perimeter.
I'll investigate inside the facility.
This place in the past
was supposedly
a weapons factory for humans.
The enemy seems
to be using this factory
to increase the production
of machine lifeforms.
What's that?
No enemy signals in this area.
There seem to be more enemies
of this natures lately.
They just absentmindedly sit there.
I wonder what they're doing?
There is no intel about sleep functions in
machine lifeforms from the analysis team.
And machine lifeforms,
unlike us androids, are simple-
9S.
Yes. What is it, Miss 2B?
Is that story necessary
for this operation?
Oh, I'm sorry. It's been quite a while
since I talked to anyone.
That's right.
I'll send you the map data
that I collected earlier.
Roger.
Miss 2B. I'm happy.
About what?
We Scanners usually work alone,
dealing with preliminary scouting.
I don't usually get a partner.
It's kind of fun!
We are forbidden from harboring emotions.
Oh! I'm sorry.
And You don't have to call me "Miss."
No honorifics are necessary for my name.
Understood.
2B!
Is something the matter?
It's nothing.
2B.
I have identified the location
of the enemy core unit.
I will guide you there.
Please keep proceeding forward.
Materials transferring
from Block 43 to 12.
What's that?
They use data from the old world
to generate random nonsense.
Thank you for another day's hard
work. Please embrace the joys of labor.
There's no meaning
behind what machine lifeforms do.
This is strange.
The core unit is there, but I couldn't
find any weapons that look like the target.
Does that mean the intel from Command
was incorrect?
We'll see about that.
The target core unit is below that.
Let's hurry.
It's easy for you to say.
Is that
the core unit?
9S! The core unit is outside
2B! What's wrong?
Powerful jamming detected.
At this timing?
Alert. Enemy machine lifeforms.
Multiple units approaching.
Don't get
in our way!
Core unit signal increasing
from the building up ahead.
Can it be
Target Goliath-class weapon found.
Pod, request backup from Command!
Communication is impossible
due to radio jamming.
What the? Its movements
Target Goliath-class weapon
suspected to be incomplete.
If that's the case
I will destroy it here!
Boost!
9S.
You brute force your way
through battles, 2B.
Confirmed functional decrease
of Goliath-class weapon.
Leave this part to me.
Hacking!
So this is the target
Goliath-class weapon
To think about
going into battle against this solo
I'm glad I made it in time.
9S.
Thank you.
A protective wall?
So the protective wall is this trivial
Report. Enemy unit control infiltration
route and vulnerability found.
Use that infiltration route
to run a suspension program.
Roger. Ten seconds until execution.
The same type? What in the
It's recovering
a lot faster than I thought!
Watch out, 9S!
Target Goliath-class weapon
has temporarily ceased functions.
9S black box signal detected.
Not responding to communications.
I have to save 9S!
9S!
I'll repair you right now!
Pod! The staunching gel
and the logic-virus vaccine, and
The decrease in the subject's vitals cannot
be stopped with triage done at this-
Shut up! Just give it to me!
2B Just go
Stay quiet!
We are soldiers.
We must take pride in our battles.
Unit Ho229, accepting command 677.
Transferred authorized user from 9S to 2B.
Requesting acknowledgement from 2B.
Please Before the enemy reboots
All right.
Confirmed decreasing vitals for 9S.
Pod. You came at a good time.
Confirm the comm conditions.
Report. Radio jamming decreased
due to weakening of the enemy.
Though unstable, laser comm is possible.
Take 2B's record data package
Kill Kill
These beams
And it's speaking words
Pod! How are the controls?
Behavior table adjusted.
Balance controls overridden.
Enemy unit subjugation complete.
Pod! Disable subjugation
for three seconds!
Roger.
Initiating re-subjugation.
Kill

Kill
Just break down already!
You really do brute-force it, 2B.
Request support from Command
No, that doesn't
seem necessary.
Kill

- Kill
- Impossible.
Looks like things
aren't going so well.
I'm done setting up.
Your black box, please.
All right.
Requesting annihilation of enemy
Goliath-class weapon via black box reaction!
Request Accepted.
2B.
It was an honor to fight alongside you.
The honor was mine.
All existence is designed
to become extinct.
THIRTEENTH ORBITING SATELLITE BASE
THE BUNKER
We are perpetually trapped
in a never-ending spiral of life and death.
Is this a curse or is it punishment?
However
If I am allowed to,
I would like to make a wish.
For his happiness.
That is my
The operation was a success.
The enemy Goliath-class weapon was destroyed,
and the enemy-occupied territory
9S.
Yes?
Thank you for uploading our data
to the Bunker at the very end.
I'm sorry.
I don't have memories about that.
I likely only had enough time
to back up your data.
My memories
only go back to the point
right before our rendezvous.
I see.
Glory to mankind.
Glory to mankind.
Pod 042 reporting to all of mankind.
We will now execute the task
of introducing the multiple endings
of the video game "NieR: Automata.” Over.
PUPPET PLAY
NIER: AUTOMATA “2B AND 9S”
Yes, yes! Hello!
We are androids who fight for mankind day in
and day out, YoRHa No. 9 Type S AKA 9S and
Likewise, YoRHa No. 2 Type B AKA 2B.
We'll get right into it. The game
"NieR: Automata" has multiple endings,
and there really are a lot of them!
So in this segment, we will show you the
many endings in a slightly different way!
9S, we should start off
by introducing ourselves a bit more.
Nice assist, Miss 2B!
Well, we YoRHa model androids
have various types,
ALL SORTS OF TYPES?
YoRHa MODELS
like "A" for Attacker, "B" for Battler, "D,"
"G," "H," "O," and "S" for Scanner like me.
ATTACKER TYPE - TYPE A
BATTLE TYPE - TYPE B
DEFENSE TYPE - TYPE D
GUNNER TYPE - TYPE G
HEALER TYPE - TYPE H
OPERATOR TYPE - TYPE O
SCANNER TYPE - TYPE S
HIDDEN TYPE - ?
There may even be other hidden models.
Miss 2B's "2" designates
the rollout order for her type.
I am an ordinary combat model
integrating Type A and Type G.
And only the YoRHa models
are equipped with this black box!
This actually has a really amazing feature.
Miss 2B? Hey, w
By self-destructing at the Bunker, the entire structure ended up exploding
in a spectacular fashion. But hey, it sure did look pretty from Ear
