I do love one detail they added into the anime as well, the part where 9S points out that they were all sacrificial lambs. I noticed in the game it was just "The Commander?Me?2B?" but in the anime, 9S included the Operators in his line. I'm very impressed with how much thought they put into the anime as much as they did in games, novels, etc.
@@ggwu6302 completely agree. Every iteration of the story adds a little more detail that makes the story much more impactful. I love the little additions sprinkled throughout the show.
I love 9S’s characterization here than in the game, especially in this episode. You can truly feel what he felt for 2B, and I like how he's not genuinely crazy like he was in the game after losing 2B but more sad and rageful and just wants to destroy every machine and A2 because of the loss of 2B
Yeah! Thank you. finally. See this is what people are not talking about. After the loss & the truth 9S wants to end everything. Killing A2 and dying by the virus (that's why he didn't remove it) and A2 wants to save 9S, the last person she can save right now (for 2B also).
I think that's due to him not dying in the game, he knew the truth since before YoRHa ceased to exist, which caused w much more impactful weight to his mind, meanwhile in the anime he did die and end up in the tower
@@GodFireBreakdowns Well, he's an android made like a teenage boy, with mixed feelings/memories of his pastselfs, and how everyone lied to him. It's obviuos why he is crazy.
For A2, I love all her details in this episode that people still don't know. And for 9S. He was so amazing in this episode. Also, in the end, now, 9S wants to end everything by killing A2 & himself and A2 wants to save 9S, the last person she can save and also humanities data.
Interesting how it's the opposite in the anime, in the game 9S is smiling to the expressionless 2Bs while in the anime the 2B clones are the ones to give a twisted smile to a angry 9S, basically mocking him for his feeling towards 2B since the machine network finds their relationship absurd.
12:16 I love how back when Reincarnation was fresh and few of us mentioned that the Cage looked almost identical to the copied city and the Tower, it made people angy in the Discord channels, it almost got me banned. After the Reincarnation ending and now in the anime, they keep making it more and more obvious how it was all related and based on the quantum server from Replicant. Yoko Taro keeps teasing so many details, almost mockingly, it's awesome
I think it's great that they managed to show the incident that started the YoRHa Project even for just a moment. At first, I thought it was sad that 2B killed 9S so much, but now I think A2 is the same. It's a little late to say this, but after seeing A2's various expressions in the anime, I really wanted to hug her.
The last chapter: Will Accord or Emil appear? Will it be the C, E or new ending? Will there be more references to the other games or maybe the opening of a new game? Will there be a trailer for Nier Replicant? God exists? When will GodFireBreakdowns give me premium access? Or is it a dream of 9S waking up without legs XD
Love your analysis! But what I hate is that they ditched the entire tower ascend sequence which imho is the best part of the entire tower part of the game and is my favorite all throughout the game with Bipolar Nightmare in the BG playing...
@@GodFireBreakdowns Yeah, agreed. It's sad they had to squeeze stuff in an episode but it's fine, it's a great episode overall. I love your analysis episodes because it gives me new insights from materials I haven't touched like the novels and stuff.
I didn't know about all the yorha boys details, guess I should go read that. 1:10 Replicant, right? 11:45 2B you mean, yea? IMO they won't do ending E exactly as the game bc we can't play the credits as we did in the game + save deletion stuff. I'm hoping we're surprised next week
UGH i keep doing that. lol. I do not think we will get the same ending either. Not sure how that would make sense for a anime. I am also hoping for a surprise.
Oh boy, I'm excited(and a little scared) for the finale, imagine Accord appearing...copium xD. The original 9 and 2 part was so interesting cuz I didn't know all the details, so thanks! Great breakdown like always.
So, Godfire talked about 9S wanted to make 2B models fwel more n more pain but did not say any thing for 9S cry for 2B and apologising for hurt her ( even a fake 2B ). 😞😔 Also, did tell how much No.2, No.9 & Zinnia were like a family that's why No.9 was so angry over Zinnia.
Small detail i missed. But also as i stated in the video. That was just my interpretation of that moment when he chose to use the glove. And i'm not sure if he was apologizing for hurting the fakes. Or just taking that opportunity to apologize for not saving her. Or all of the above in this state of mind.
Btw you do know that its confirmed that yoko taro has a pre recorded event at TGS next friday approx. 1 hour before the release of the final episode right?
The Red girl in the final fantasy 14 x Nier automata final raid merge with a machine made "seed of resurection" from dakengard universe, maybe that's the "light" she's talking about.
If I remember correctly, Yoko Taro is working on something with producer Saito. At the end of last year, he said, he wanted to announce it next year (this year). Since TGS is the last big event to do so, I hope it didn't get canceled. Also it would be funny, if we get a 2nd season/ 3rd cour called Nier Automata ver1.1b. Like it's a route B of this timeline, a different branch.
1:12 lol you made the same mistake as last time. You said Reincarnation instead of Replicant. All good though, this episode was full with way too much information! I'm sad as the show will end too early we needed a full episode to cover the Zinnia plot. Also now that the show is ending I'll never get to see animated A2 meet 2B for the first after the pearl harbor incident and do the phyco laugh!
Damn it! Ugh I swear. I hate the fact that i miss it technically twice. UGH. I wish we could see more of the og 9 and zinnia. I also wish we saw more of A2 fighting 2E as well. That would of been cool.
starting off this episode on the edge of tears. i don't know if I'm ready for the last episode if there's not going to be some amount of hope in it. looking at you ending e epilogue. now the question is, are there too many unresolved plot points to wrap up in just one episode even if it's longer? of course there is. and then there's the ending that just so happens to be timed just perfectly for the tokyo game show. i don't think there's gonna be simply no announcements at all for nier during that time. it just lines up almost too well.
@aarontrupiano9328 right? I'm keeping low expectations because I have been for years as a kingdom hearts fan you learn to keep low expectations hahahah. But the timing can't help but take note of it.
I missed so much on original back story what number 9 did ... they literally showed a lot but I wish after this they make back stories or original story or something related to nier in the future and doesn't end with next episode that is about to come out
Oh, also, 9S did not want to make 2B models feel pain by using type-40 weapon. He is fighting all 2B units, B units, He is not stupid. If he don't fight good he dies.
I was so upset with Devola having to be killed by A2 that I completely forgot what happened in Replicant. And I have this feeling that we'd see Accord post credit. And yes. I forgot this was an anime. I was about to choose either one to fight for the finale.
since this episode ends with them on the final battle, maybe we'll get some kind of extended epilogue next episode? edit: about tokyo game show, yoko taro did say at the beginning of the year that he was gonna announce something in 2024 and we should look out for it
I've played replicant route A and B. Subtitles shows you said "labo" but I was curious to know what is so important about Lab 06 (or Lab 0 or whatever that is called).
So I am assuming Lab 06 is Labo. And there were two labs. One being Kaguya and the other being Labo. The speculation is Kaguya blew up because of experiments creating the black boxes. But nothing confirmed. Labo was where the original YoRHa like 2 and 9 were created and where it started their story in a way.
@@GodFireBreakdowns Thanks for the explanation. I should get these additional reading material and YorHa boys to get a much deeper understanding of the lore. There is so much left out in the games (replicant A/B only).
@quicksilver_x I to be honest haven't finished reading all the lore. There is so much! Yorha boys is one I still need to finish. As well as the novels for replicant.
I'm so intrigue what the finale will be like since it's gonna be an original. From what I've understand from the hex codes, there's this glimmer of hope, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up. Accord coming in for the clutch next episode would be bonkers. Also, no more DevPop. 😔
I hope Bandai, going to make affordable NieR, The line is going to be Called The World Of NieR, It will probably be like dragon stars but with better head sculpts and clean paint, i’m probably way better articulation two packs battle packs and a power pack they’re probably gonna do all of the characters nine separately it will be in the same treatment as dragon stars it’s going to be a spin-off To Game Dimensions
So let me see if I understood correctly. The original 9 was the one responsible for the destruction of yorha by creating that backdoor? He did this in order to maintain the secret that humanity was extinct, only for this secret to be discovered by a future 9s??
Do we know if zinnia is human tho? One thing i never understood is who created the original devola and popola, and who kept creating androids after humanity died?
Once again, seeing A2 end the life of one of her former allies hurts so much 😢 Following one of the previous messages concerning the reason why 9S infected YorHa ( I hadn’t gotten it before until I read your confirmation) , why did the machines continued the facade with the androids? Is it developed later in the game in someway or what did I miss? Is the explanation clearer in the game? Is it too big of a Spoiler? As I mentioned in one of your previous videos, I am currently playing the route B of the game for the first time, but due to work and other obligations I have had no time to complete the game… still, I have been here following your breakdowns for the rollercoaster of emotions this story is since I love it some much and I’m so happy that I found your channel that covered the anime series from the beginning. Getting ready for the end 🥲❤
@@GodFireBreakdowns correct me if I’m wrong (and there is a good chance I might be),but… are the tower, the girls, and the voice we hear, are another sort/branch/species of machines that evolve on their own and that were in control all of the time of what was happening during the war? 🤔
Don’t even know what to start with. First of all, I’ve never finished the game, finding the gameplay tedious and time consuming. I had partially watched the game movie and read the articles so I knew what was going on. A week ago I finished watching the anime - couldn’t sleep for two days, really. The story is much deeper than it seems. It tells us what it is like to live in a nihilistic anti utopia, where nothing, yourself included, has meaning or logical sense. It tells us a story from the perspective of three characters with different outcomes: 2B initially knows the whole truth, yet she denies her inner self, her true feelings and her meaning. She’s waiting for the right moment to come, when the war would be over, but she dies along the way, never able to live up to the moment. 9S, on the other hand, loses all hope and purpose, as the truth has been discovered and the person he loved has died. This mad and violent world consumes him completely , makes him desperate and insane. He goes for revenge and his own demise. A2, on the other hand, finds new family and new meaning to her life. Her story is an opposite to one of 9S. She has a reason to keep on fighting, a reason more than herself. In the end all of them die and this could be the logical end. But the ending scene implies that the only way to survive is to find the true meaning for your life. In that scene 2B and 9S represent the “pure love”, their true selves, that’s why the world (death in that case) hasn’t taken them. The choice is for us, players, to make, on how would we handle our lives and the world around us. This game/anime is about neither plot, nor gameplay, nor protagonists - it is about us, players, about our own thoughts, emotions and conclusions. And this approach is absolutely insane! The characters might be shallow and straightforward, the love story might be cheesy and unbelievable, the plot might be irrational and confusing, but the message is clear and powerful. To me Nier Automata will always be a standalone game. I would gladly look forward to see how the story ends, but I’m afraid it would only disappoint me, going for cheesy melodrama, magical BS and further lore explanation, god forbid time travel and multiverses. Instead I would like to see something like moral choices, character development, 9S growing up, or 2B struggling with her PTSD syndrome and her complex of guilt, overcoming her toxic behaviour and so on - something anyone of us struggles with on daily basis. But Yoko Taro would probably go for narrating Nietzsche instead of this. 2B will be my favourite in-game character for a long while, if not till the end. I have my own reasons to love her and hate her, but her dual nature only makes her more loveable and relatable. Feel kinda ashamed of myself for watching r34 with her back in a day. I sincerely wish all of you, who reads this, all the best. We are not alone in this crazy world, each our live has a meaning. Just wanted to share my feelings about this masterpiece. Thank you!❤
@@GodFireBreakdowns I guess not, unfortunately. Watching game movie and RUclips videos about the game made me cry like 3 times or something. It had hit me so hard, that I really was having emotional breakdown for more than a week, which is not good for me - couldn’t focus on my responsibilities. Maybe someday I will be emotionally and time-wise prepared to finish this masterpiece myself.
@@GodFireBreakdowns By the way I have a crazy theory that 2B and 9S never really loved each other. Instead it was a part of their initial programming, that compelled them to feel this way. It just confuses me because neither game nor anime expand much on WHY exactly they are affected by each other, or how they fell in love in the first place. Could you explain, please?
One thing I want to say is that Novel was made to explain the game but anime is doing things in a new way. Using to explain things everytime is not good when many things are new in the anime.
@jem650 what I was noticing when making this thumbnail. I stared at my screen and said what a minute. A2 was technically a number 2. But she missed this fate all together. Granted in the novel it is explained she has killed 9S and 2B multiple times haha.
How about Devola death was so painful? 😭😭😭😭😭 9s apologizes was Very deep and emotional: "gomen ne" is diferent of "gomenasai" 'gomen ne' is talked to people that was Very close, like Family, or lovers. This hurted me. Thanks for understand yorha boys book! Lov yu! ❤ A2 understand 9s' pain. Because that, she cant look 9s in the face. She understand him!
I feel sad that Godfire did not say anything for 9S feelings for 2B and just telling his dark thoughts from the novel just like she always does. I was hoping at least this time she will talking about it.😔
Yeah! It was sweet. It was something I forgot to mention. But I am curious on who he was apologizing to. The fake 2B right there? Or the one that died by A2 because he couldnt save her? Or all of the above?
I do love one detail they added into the anime as well, the part where 9S points out that they were all sacrificial lambs. I noticed in the game it was just "The Commander?Me?2B?" but in the anime, 9S included the Operators in his line. I'm very impressed with how much thought they put into the anime as much as they did in games, novels, etc.

I think that's due to him not dying in the game, he knew the truth since before YoRHa ceased to exist, which caused w much more impactful weight to his mind, meanwhile in the anime he did die and end up in the tower

@@GodFireBreakdowns Well, he's an android made like a teenage boy, with mixed feelings/memories of his pastselfs, and how everyone lied to him. It's obviuos why he is crazy.
All we need is a longer episode finale then 25 mins and I'll be fine with that
I hope we get a longer episode!!!
For A2, I love all her details in this episode that people still don't know.
And for 9S. He was so amazing in this episode.
Also, in the end, now, 9S wants to end everything by killing A2 & himself and A2 wants to save 9S, the last person she can save and also humanities data.

First of all, I’ve never finished the game, finding the gameplay tedious and time consuming. I had partially watched the game movie and read the articles so I knew what was going on. A week ago I finished watching the anime - couldn’t sleep for two days, really.
The story is much deeper than it seems. It tells us what it is like to live in a nihilistic anti utopia, where nothing, yourself included, has meaning or logical sense. It tells us a story from the perspective of three characters with different outcomes:
2B initially knows the whole truth, yet she denies her inner self, her true feelings and her meaning. She’s waiting for the right moment to come, when the war would be over, but she dies along the way, never able to live up to the moment.
9S, on the other hand, loses all hope and purpose, as the truth has been discovered and the person he loved has died. This mad and violent world consumes him completely , makes him desperate and insane. He goes for revenge and his own demise.
A2, on the other hand, finds new family and new meaning to her life. Her story is an opposite to one of 9S. She has a reason to keep on fighting, a reason more than herself.
In the end all of them die and this could be the logical end. But the ending scene implies that the only way to survive is to find the true meaning for your life. In that scene 2B and 9S represent the “pure love”, their true selves, that’s why the world (death in that case) hasn’t taken them.
The choice is for us, players, to make, on how would we handle our lives and the world around us. This game/anime is about neither plot, nor gameplay, nor protagonists - it is about us, players, about our own thoughts, emotions and conclusions. And this approach is absolutely insane! The characters might be shallow and straightforward, the love story might be cheesy and unbelievable, the plot might be irrational and confusing, but the message is clear and powerful.
To me Nier Automata will always be a standalone game. I would gladly look forward to see how the story ends, but I’m afraid it would only disappoint me, going for cheesy melodrama, magical BS and further lore explanation, god forbid time travel and multiverses. Instead I would like to see something like moral choices, character development, 9S growing up, or 2B struggling with her PTSD syndrome and her complex of guilt, overcoming her toxic behaviour and so on - something anyone of us struggles with on daily basis. But Yoko Taro would probably go for narrating Nietzsche instead of this. 2B will be my favourite in-game character for a long while, if not till the end. I have my own reasons to love her and hate her, but her dual nature only makes her more loveable and relatable. Feel kinda ashamed of myself for watching r34 with her back in a day.
I sincerely wish all of you, who reads this, all the best. We are not alone in this crazy world, each our live has a meaning. Just wanted to share my feelings about this masterpiece. Thank you!❤
I love this! The anime just did such a great job I thought! Are you planning on going back to the game or probably not?
@@GodFireBreakdowns I guess not, unfortunately. Watching game movie and RUclips videos about the game made me cry like 3 times or something. It had hit me so hard, that I really was having emotional breakdown for more than a week, which is not good for me - couldn’t focus on my responsibilities. Maybe someday I will be emotionally and time-wise prepared to finish this masterpiece myself.
@@GodFireBreakdowns By the way I have a crazy theory that 2B and 9S never really loved each other. Instead it was a part of their initial programming, that compelled them to feel this way. It just confuses me because neither game nor anime expand much on WHY exactly they are affected by each other, or how they fell in love in the first place. Could you explain, please?
One thing I want to say is that Novel was made to explain the game but anime is doing things in a new way. Using to explain things everytime is not good when many things are new in the anime.
That could be said about comparing it to the game as well though.
It is ironic how no. 2 killed 9 at the start, and their fate repeats forever.
Maybe the anime will have new ending. Maybe...
@jem650 what I was noticing when making this thumbnail. I stared at my screen and said what a minute. A2 was technically a number 2. But she missed this fate all together. Granted in the novel it is explained she has killed 9S and 2B multiple times haha.
a2 gyatt appears again
1:56 I love 2b evil smile.
It was so creepy!
@GodFireBreakdowns I agree.
How about Devola death was so painful? 😭😭😭😭😭
9s apologizes was Very deep and emotional: "gomen ne" is diferent of "gomenasai"
'gomen ne' is talked to people that was Very close, like Family, or lovers.
This hurted me.
Thanks for understand yorha boys book! Lov yu! ❤
A2 understand 9s' pain. Because that, she cant look 9s in the face.
She understand him!
I feel sad that Godfire did not say anything for 9S feelings for 2B and just telling his dark thoughts from the novel just like she always does.
I was hoping at least this time she will talking about it.😔
Yeah! It was sweet. It was something I forgot to mention. But I am curious on who he was apologizing to. The fake 2B right there? Or the one that died by A2 because he couldnt save her? Or all of the above?
15:13 Please make your choice
9S
A2
A2 lol
