Original subtitles

Once upon a time,

a giant and a dragon fell from the sky.

After they died in a fierce battle,

an incurable disease began to spread.

Those who were infected would be salinized to death.

Otherwise, they would get violent

and turn into monsters that attack other humans.

A crisis threatening the humans arrived.

Therefore, people came up with an idea,

"Just separate the human souls from the bodies."

"When the disease is cured,"

"then we'd put the souls back into the containers made in the image of humans."

People called it the Project Gestalt.

The original beings of Devola and Popola

were the Android twins created to manage

the Project Gestalt.

Until one day,

they could return the human souls to the containers,

so both of them worked so hard. However,

the containers built to save humans

were beyond the control of Devola and Popola somehow.

In the end, Devola and Popola completely failed

their mission.

The Project Gestalt ended in failure as well.

And so, the humans extincted.

(NieR: Automata Ver1.1a)

Once again, we failed to protect...

Right.

But towards us...

Popola.

Stop it.

I don't know

how long this emotion will last.

Regarding this...

Hello.

This is the Tower's service system.

All Subunits have been unlocked.

From today on,

the Tower is open to visitors who have obtained passcodes.

And to thank you,

I have prepared the grand prize.

Looking forward to seeing you

and sincerely looking forward to your visit.

Question.

Why does this Tower have an entrance?

Confirmed that the resources are being moved in from above,

and it is weird to set up an entrance on the outside.

Assumption: It's a trap.

Whether it's a trap or whatever,

just kill that.

From today on,

the Tower is open to visitors who have obtained passcodes.

Isn't it opened with passcodes?

Proposal: Retreat.

Cut the crap.

Hacking.

Did the hacking work?

Door handle...

Is it a trap?

This is...

This place is...

What?

It's my

copy data?

I'm not copy data,

but the one you used to be.

The one I used to be?

Hurry.

We're running out of time.

Hey, who are you?

I've told you.

I am the one you used to be.

And he is also the one you used to be,

and he is

the one I used to be.

The one...

Let's go.

Is that...

Exactly.

The one I used to be.

Wait.

What do you mean by that?

Which version of me?

The moment before death.

That's you at the end of your life.

I knew it.

I mean...

You haven't

seen the truth.

Let's go.

I got three passcodes.

Yes.

Why can't I move forward?

You are already moving forward.

I am asking you why I can't get into the Tower.

Just keep moving forward,

and you will find the entrance to the Tower will open.

How long is this going to last?

Until you see the truth.

What exactly is the truth?

The truth is the truth.

You've realized it, right?

Because I've realized it too.

What are you talking about?

Who do you think killed you?

The enemy.

No.

This is...

This one...

I...

It's 2B.

Regardless of which version of me,

I end up being killed by 2B.

Right?

You've finally seen the truth.

(NieR: Automata Ver1.1a)

(NieR: Automata Ver1.1a)

2B's real model name is

YoRHa No. 2,

Model E.

She was designed to destroy deserters and spies in force,

as the Executioner Model.

She disguised herself, got close to the traitors and killed them.

I got killed by 2B many times.

Exactly.

Brilliant as you are, you occasionally found out too much information,

and thus you got executed.

Got executed occasionally...

Doesn't that make me defective?

Why would command center still

continue to produce the 9S model?

Regarding it, we have no way of knowing.

However,

9S was born and killed again and again.

This is also a fundamental part of the YoRHa Project.

We are not defective.

What I see now

is all the failed me.

Yet, for 2B, she completed her mission

with success.

Don't make it sound like 2B enjoyed killing me.

It's not just you who was killed,

but all of us were.

But we did it over and over again.

So you were created.

But 2B is dead.

Yes, that's the key.

Before you made it to this point,

we were

all killed by 2B.

But you are different now.

You have escaped death.

As an exchange, you lost 2B forever.

This is an unprecedented, brand-new date of death,

and a brand-new ending.

What 2B was truly after might be

the success to allow you to survive at this moment.

But that ending for me

is unnecessary.

Hurry.

We're running out of time.

I saw it.

Alright. I have to stop here.

I'm...

We are all in your heart.

No matter what'd happen, our feelings for 2B will not change.

I see. You also...

Move forward, 9S.

Move forward?

But 2B is already dead.

Why me?

Why only me?

Report.

The self-data of the model 9S in the memory space has disappeared,

seeming to lift the seal.

Warning.

Hostile machine lifeforms are approaching.

I've finally opened the door.

Warning.

It's dangerous to fight in this state.

Recommendation: Immediately retreat to the Tower.

Cut the crap.

I have to kill the machine lifeforms.

Darn.

You are...

9S.

We knew you would come.

Your treatment isn't over yet.

Just stay there.

We'll handle this.

We'll at least demonstrate our fierce combat.

Right.

Oh my.

You just love giving others trouble.

Let us finish the treatment this time.

Quite serious.

The motor cortex has been completely worn away.

You must be struggling just to walk.

9S, stay still and listen to us.

The Resistance camp we used to stay at

has been annihilated.

Why?

Miss Lily, Miss Jackass and others...

Because of the rapid spread of viral contamination,

the captain and others had to stop the spread of contamination.

We helped to settle the kids in Pascal's village.

But some of them had already been contaminated.

That virus contaminated so fast.

By the time we realized it, it was already too late.

The captain told us to escape

to treat other Androids.

This is okay.

Thank you.

Miss Lily, Miss Jackass and others

are all dead?

Warning.

Many hostile machine lifeforms are approaching.

Recommendation: Immediately retreat to the Tower.

That's more than we can handle.

Let's go.

Miss Devola, Miss Popola.

Report.

Confirmed the activation of stealth traps.

Are you okay?

If you can still stand, retreat now.

Popola.

We'll handle this.

You need to get in before the door closes.

I can reopen the door later.

You have to run.

Cut the crap.

We...

We need to atone for our sins.

Devola.

Never regret it.

Devola.

The original beings of Devola and Popola

were the Android twins created to manage

the Project Gestalt.

Be careful.

Are you okay?

Sorry, I was a bit out of it.

Your bandage has come loose.

Do you want to replace it?

That way you can move forward safely.

No.

Never mind that, let's hurry.

We must move now, otherwise it's going to rain.

The containers built to save humans

were beyond the control of Devola and Popola somehow.

In the end, Devola and Popola completely failed

their mission.

The Project Gestalt ended in failure as well.

AND SO, THE HUMANS EXTINCTED.

The neural circuit below has been damaged.

No wonder your walking control is affected.

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

This is not your fault.

I'm sorry.

I can't do further treatment for you

until we're in a better-equipped place.

Why do you apologize?

We keep apologizing to each other,

and telling each other not to apologize.

After that,

only Androids were left on Earth.

The secret of human extinction was hidden.

But the models that resemble the failed Devola and Popola

became targets of blame.

Just go to the new camp,

and then I can heal your leg.

I hope so.

I might lose my other leg too.

No problem, I will protect you.

But it's okay.

It's only natural.

A companion from the Resistance camp cut off your leg.

Even though they are companions, why aren't you mad?

Why can you still keep your cool?

Because you lost your mind,

so I can keep my cool.

Having you defend me is enough.

What?

It is the other units of the same models with management failure,

not us.

Even so,

it is natural for us twin models to be persecuted.

How long is this going to last?

Well...

Until one day,

we atone for our sins.

If so,

it will be an endless atonement.

But nothing can be done about it.

All the Devolas and Popolas think so.

Why?

Because they failed to protect the humans who created them.

To avoid losing control,

their memories have been erased.

With guilt in their minds,

it becomes an obligation for them.

Fortunately, we are two people together.

We can't make it with just one of us.

Because we are two together, we can endure it.

All the Devolas and Popolas

apologize over and over again,

and constantly try to please others,

living all the way until today.

I'm sorry.

Devola, I'm sorry.

Don't apologize, Popola.

Stop apologizing.

You told me to never regret it.

That kind of feeling...

I've already...

Hello.

This is the Tower's service system.

The Tower is open to visitors who have obtained passcodes.

(Chapter.22) (just y[O]u and me)

153 calling 042.

The latest report regarding 9S.

Starting sharing information.

Understood.

9S's mental state has deteriorated quite severely.

He is in a critical condition,

and he must be dealt with promptly.

Agree.

However, the method of treatment is unclear.

Recommendation.

Take a break to check data and perform maintenance.

Understood, then execute immediately.

May human glory last forever.

Last forever.
