Episode LV-2: Team



OK. As funny as it would be to murder Adam then shrug and leave before rescuing 9S, let’s do this properly. If you’re wondering, Adam’s body evaporated immediately after his death cutscene ends. Sorry. No t-bagging his corpse in victory following the battle. 9S, however...



9S...
2B...



Come on. Let’s go home.
*smiles and nods*





And so the missing 9S is recovered and with it end Chapter 8 of NieR: Automata. This also marks the end of any relevance the Copied City had to the plot. Yeah, it’s just a cool looking lead up to a boss arena for a final battle against the humanity obsessed Adam. That’s it! Tune in next time as the machines learn expand their horizons by getting deep into theological debates. What's the worst that could go wrong? NieR: Automata continues soon...

It was the first non standard ending I got. I saw an item in the distance and ran over to grab it since getting 9S seemed like a very fast way out of there and not get that item.

Cue having to do the Adam fight all over again.

Hah, that's what you get for not being totally 100% immersed. When you finally recover your boy toy, you run to him. You're not concerned with shiny objects in the distance.

Am I the only one that's thinking that this is a fakeout and Adam isn't actually dead?

Actually, thinking about this some more, this may actually be it for None Wang Angel on route A. Now, anyone believing this is the end of Adam's contributions to the plot in all routes, I have a tower in Pisa I'd like to sell to you.

They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar.

So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.”
I always thought this line was stupid. The good man may be willing to listen to reason, and work with you.
The evil man may choose to gloat and smoke WHILE evicerrating you.

What is your obsession with calling him racist? All Yorha androids are designed to wage a war of extermination against the machines so if you are going to call him racist then that means that everything on the planet besides Pascal's village is racist as well.

The Resistance camp has been trading with Pascal's village for parts and the like for who knows how long :v: So clearly, not everyone is racist. So I will continue calling a racist a racist.

The rest of Yorha is racist while 2B appears to be entirely indifferent at this point.

There, I called them racist. Now drop this stupid argument and let us go back to jokingly calling 9S our garbage racist son.

Parts used to wage war against every machine that isn't "one of the good ones" like Pascal.

Not taking sides, but I am going to point out that the Resistance camp is not YorHa, technically. Not all androids are YorHa.

Is it fair to berate 9S for racism when he was literally programmed to be like that? It's not like he had any say on it.

If anything he seemed to be getting better after actually interacting with machines.

Fair, but i consider being actually programmed a step up from that.

I mean, that's the impression i got, that he was slowly re-assessing his personal opinions. Or at least having the decency to stay quiet about them. Id actually pointed out the weird disconnect where he seems to regress when we go back to the main plot.

You've made a ton of posts trying to get people to hate 9S and it's getting kind of weird. You've played the game, they haven't, let them come to their own conclusions about characters. Saying "I hate 9S for reasons that haven't been covered" creates some expectations.

Jet Jaguar

Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr Customs Man.



So does 9S fall off the rods that are pinning him to the wall, or does he teleport from there to the ground? I expect him to be a bit more banged up, though he clearly can't walk in his current condition.

And do they ever hint where all the other YoRHa androids come from in the Copied City? It seems really crowded for being at the bottom of an inaccessible elevator.

He also hates machines to pretty much the exact same extent as any other android shown. We just get to see him talk more often since the only character with more screentime is quiet and grumpy and mostly feels the same way. The times where 9S does wonder what the machines might be actually thinking/feeling are themselves cutoff by 2B reminding him that they're killbots with no real emotions.

Adam is really dedicated to creating a certain ambiance.
