9S being killed over and over by 2B is something I like to call "The Curse of Zinnia" It doesn't just affect 9S and 2B either, but multiple Number 9 and Number 2 models of various types. Number 9 murdering Zinnia could be seen as YoRHa's original sin.
Original 9 or Lab 9, modify Zinnia's concept and yeaa, it shows that whenever some 9 series androids are in gloomy state; or in despair, they go insanely dark and willing to do scary things beyond
There is something you forgot as well. The anime showed us the what if scenario if 9S let his self conscious data "lose control" and it did in fact temporarily open the door. However, what is new this time around is that develop is the one to use her body to keep the door open instead of actually opening it from a failed hacking.
You're right I did forget to mention that. But it looks like I also missed another appearance of the red girls! I told myself to keep an eye on them. But the last couple episodes I keep missing them!
9:52 Prior to the NieR ARG with the Church, those cans were believed to be the last secret of Nier Automata. If you inputted a certain sequence of numbers, it would immediately bring you to the end of the game. I just thought it was interesting for the “old 9S” to be In that shot with the themes of truth and the end being so prominent at this point
My heart was crushed seeing both twins journey on the desert as they looked for a different camp in hopes that they may get better treatment from the previous one, especially where they hold hands as Dev was limping while they approach Lily's camp. No matter how much pain and suffering they'll feel, they'll always endure as long as they have each other. 😢 Hurts more than I imagined them to be while reading those text-only scenes in the game.
When the other 9s said, "A different ending," I was like, "Holy CINEMA xD. It is so unfair the Twins' fate and journey...(and heartbreaking). Incredible breakdown, like always!
The battle that crossed space and time is won, the awesome enemy defeated at last. But the blood of the heroes who saved the world paints the tower red. To catch the lion's cub, you must enter the lion's den. But... but at least Don't forget me. Ever. Is this the land of the gods? It is done! At last... Eco one. The target has neutralized. Over and out
The lore about the Grimoires at the beginning of the video was super interesting! (I didn't know any of that at all haha) NieR content is kind of rare nowadays so I've really enjoyed your videos since I found them a bit ago. Great content. :)
Thank you! Glad you liked them! Yeah it's super interesting hearing about the events before Nier Replicant. I want them to do more games on that! They have thousands of years of material!
I thought it had been confirmed the reason as to why 9S models were still produced were because he was simply too good to use for data in the war against the machines? Maybe I’m remembering something wrong
Wooooooooow what an Episode!!! Im simly speachless until now. But i will try to say somethings: When Grimoire Rubrum appear with this Drakengard and Replicant flashback... I started to freakout VERY HARD. I started to trembeling and shaking almost like a seizure. So good to see emil, kaine, and NieR, even in silhuettes ❤ It was very orgastic. Wishing for and Replicant anime 🥹 I think the twins sin was an tabu. I think that was never said directly, Making to the player to interpret it. Even in other people videos sayin about devola and popola sin... i was never see someone sayin somethin so direct in all letters like now: "the human extinction was because popola and devola fault". (Many people earlier said that popolas's sin is because project gestalt was as faliure, and the project was blablabla and etcetc...) Im very surprised to the show said it in the face so directly. Ans soooooo beautiful is the love about the twins to each other. Devola and Popola holding hands when they arrive at resistance camp made me cry. It was very silly and something simple, but i cried somehow. 9s is an high ending model, and i think that actual 9s, is already figured that 2b was and type E. But it was good to show. It was good to show that every version of 9s felt in love for 2b, and 2b falls in love everytime for 9s. I think that was an philosophical way to say that we have many versions of yourself.... But the soul is the same.... And all this versions of 9s are the same too. In the core. In the end, i just think that this "old 9s" inside the tower is N2 trying to mess the actual 9S, with real data of the older 9s's (You can say many lies telling only the truth) Popola is now infected! Next Episode could be sooo diferent and painful even more, when A2 arrives the tower!!!! 😭😭😭 I think that Hexadecimals is now about ending E. And the pods was suposse to work to accord orgsnization. Such an great Episode!!!! But very heartbroken. Im very broken now (Besides that, i missed the vocals in the music of the song of the ancients in the popola's fight) Ps. I was expecting that could be the "farewell epilogue", or "the end of data" epilogue in the end of the anime. But no. Now I think that the show will ending with ending E, and perhaps with Accord aparison to seal the timeline.
@@GodFireBreakdowns imagine an Popola died because the virus: Devola, now Infected attacks A2 when she arrives the Tower. An battle Begins. At sound of 'song of ancients/devola' from Replicant soundtrack. Devola is stabbed, and she regain her senses... then she asks: "We are able to manage to help?" A2 respond: "yes". Then Devola dies. Its Just an fanfic of my mind freaking out about next Episode!!! 😅 Ps. I dont think that they use any song of the replicant game for this. Like Devola version of The song of the ancients This song is do warm in the Village. But the SAME song was do painful in the battle..... Its Just an fanfic of my mind. But Yoko Taro can make things even worse
The one with the babies is a theory of mine, it's from the Shadowlord's castle, the spheres are human babies and I think that image could be human parents who put their babies for the Gestald project and that the parents represent the couples dancing in the room. I heard that in that room there are rich people who used the best procedures for their gestalts and replicants. If I'm right, it would be a very gore moment with the Replicant game.
For the record, This new 9S is called "Another 9S" officially by the anime producers. Also, this 9S is a part of 9S's memory which is what I said many times. 9S has some memories of all othet past 9S.
To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range Looking downward from this deadly height and never realizing why I fight - A Brazilian Samurai's song
Another interesting point to note is that The Pod points out "there was a loss of 9S consciousness data within memory sectors" it works into a theory I've had for some time about 9S, and the connection between memories and consciousness in NieR Automata. At least for YoRHa androids. There's a 10H story in NieR Reincarnation that ties into this as well. Where something similar happens to her. Though the communication is more implicit than a full back and forth. In both Cases, when 10H and 9S encounter memories that were removed from them, they appeared as other versions of themselves. They were able to interface, communicate (though in 10H's case her memory didn't talk back, but it didn't have to as 10H was able to glean what it was thinking and feeling without that. It did however fight her.) The "previous" 9S can't move forward in part because he's just memories, a fragment of 9S's own consciousness that was separated from him long ago, now reunited, and then seemingly deleted. My theory is that there's only one, and there has only ever been, one 9S. With multiple bodies, fractured memories, and consciousness that was split apart. With some of it seemingly lost only to be recovered again (then seemingly lost once more). After he was able to recover some memories by hacking into Emil all the way back in episode 5. if he wasn't even the same person I don't see how that would be possible. It's a similar principle to when he survived ending A and B, he split his consciousness apart and then pulled it back together. I have a feeling that something similar happens when they upload their data to the bunker, a piece of themselves goes with it and they can survive through that, but something is potentially lost along the way if they die. Not just the experiences that shape who they are, but a piece of their consciousness as well. "We'll be with you" his memory said. Implying that it might not have been fully deleted. After all at the end of "farewell" the Pods thought ALL of 9S's data was gone for good there as well. Also the Backdoor was meant to open up when YoRHa forces broke the stalemate, the Terminals broke into the Bunker's systems exactly 1 month before the events of the game started according to the timeline on the wiki (I vaguely remember reading a story about that intrusion and the Red Girls expressing relief they weren't caught), I don't think they had full access until Route C.
There is something I have omitted, the introduction of the chapter as telling a fairy tale with the famous long time ago is that Yokotaro initially wanted the game Nier Replicant to have fairy tale characters or their names and it would not even be connected to the Drakengar saga
8:09 i still think it was "...all thanked us anyway" or something like that. i don't want to see devola have to kill her own recently infected sister if she can't be cured. it can't get any worse than that for her and for us as viewers but at the same time it would be emotionally impactful to say the least. i don't think she could go on living without her sister. on the other hand it was nice seeing their backstory before the game's events. reading about that was one moment from the game I quite liked
This episode hurts my heart very much because of the twins hardships they've been through but they'd died for saving 9S. Now you've mentioned about Group B, is so mysterious to me because I've never about this group and it was never mentioned in other RUclipsrs as well. I wish I could make a comic that a Rebellious Type Accord violates the rules of their Association Group. After Ending D of Drakengard 3, she finally found Zero and the Intoners in the Abyss of Darkness. Then she transported them to, known as "The Other Earth", because the Rebellious Type Accord had been secretly observed and recorded a place called The Archipelago. After their transportation, Accord didn't notice that N2 was also following her. Then the Intoners will meet the Outcasts and the Non-Human Society (N.H.S) teaching them how to live and they'll also help them to remove the flower inside of them. But N2 had also plan of her own, to bring the villains of Drakengard and NieR to Other Earth. So the cycle of chaos, sorrow and pain repeats itself.
@@GodFireBreakdowns I already had my original characters and story but it's still making on Chapter 1. But the Intoners haven't arrive at that time so in this Chapter 1, Accord is secretly observed the characters and the university whether it's safe for Zero or not.

That's a tough one. Right now im leaning towards the back story episodes we got of A2. I have wanted them to show more of A2 and I have gotten it! lol. But I also like that we got more of 2E in episode 13. They animated some side stories!
Personal nitpick of mine. They should've left Popola's death as her circuits being fried due to force hacking (like the game) rather than logic virus. It's too repetitive and I don't know why they changed it.
