Original subtitles

It's better for you not to move around for now.

My name is Pascal.

I am the head of this village.

Report.

It was the machine lifeform here that saved the YoRHa unit A2.

You mean

this machine lifeform saved me?

A huge white building suddenly appeared,

so I went to the scene to check.

And I found you lying there.

I couldn't just leave you in a dangerous place,

so I brought you back.

Uncle, I've collected the materials for that thing.

Okay, I got it.

I will leave for a while. Please have a good rest.

Then what are you?

And where is this place?

I am an accompanying support equipment, Pod 042,

serving as the firing support for the YoRHa unit A2.

This place is a village of machine lifeforms.

According to the records of the YoRHa unit 2B,

the residents of this village desire peace.

So I think it's safe here.

Machine lifeforms desire peace?

How could I possibly believe that?

And you've been talking all the time.

Annoying.

I am an accompanying support equipment, Pod 042,

I've heard that before. I didn't ask you for help.

Confirmed.

I have not received a request from you, A2.

According to the record,

this operation is the final command from the former accompanying object, 2B.

Everyone and future.

I'm leaving them to you.

A2.

Request.

YoRHa unit A2, state your purpose of action.

This is the information I need to support you.

I have no reason to tell you.

Don't follow me.

What is that huge thing?

Not sure.

I've told you not to follow me.

YoRHa unit A2 is not authorized to make that request.

Enough.

Up to you.

LOADING

He seems to have awakened, Devola.

Good morning. You were sleeping soundly, 9S.

How do you feel?

Where is this place?

Answer: Resistance camp.

You were lying in the valley with serious wounds.

You might be dead if you had the treatment later.

You should thank us properly.

Treatment?

We are Devola and Popola model Androids,

designed for medical treatment and maintenance.

As such, our numbers are limited.

I'm Devola, and she's Popola.

Do you remember us?

Yes.

Recommended: Express gratitude verbally.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Reaching out to a partner like this

is what we can do to compensate.

Compensate?

That's…

Answer.

This has emerged after the last large-scale airborne operation.

It is presumed to be caused by machine lifeforms.

However, details are still unclear.

Machine lifeforms.

2B.

Are you okay?

Your wounds have not yet healed.

Have a good rest now.

Come take a look.

Do you want anything?

No need. I'm not a child anymore.

Oh my.

I've grown taller.

Cool.

Mom, how much longer are you going to be a homebody?

The world outside is frightening.

What's with these guys?

Answer: They are machine lifeforms.

I've heard that before.

Request: State your purpose for action.

I've heard that too.

Let me ask you.

How is the bunker now?

The bunker at the 13th satellite orbit base

initiated the self-destruct program due to viral contamination

by machine lifeforms.

Most of the contaminated YoRHa force members,

as well as the Commander, were killed when the bunker collapsed.

Therefore, it is presumed that the YoRHa force has collapsed.

I see.

My purpose is to eliminate machine lifeforms.

Question.

The reason for not eliminating the machine lifeforms in this village.

I owe them a favor.

I'm leaving.

Just let them go once.

Request.

Before leaving this place,

please perform maintenance.

Who cares? Mind your own business.

Due to the strong impact during the collapse,

A2, your unit might…

Don't talk to me.

Before the accompanying support equipment

ensures the safety of the accompanying object,

the equipment will repeatedly request to execute the process.

What?

Request: Please perform maintenance.

Repeating unnecessary dialogue will only waste my energy.

You're the one who has to repeat it.

Request: Please perform…

Annoying. Shut up.

-Scary. -Quite terrifying.

She's looking over here.

Run away.

-What to do? -I'm out of here.

-We need help. -I'm out of here.

But it's terrifying.

What's going on?

It has been confirmed that A2 has lost consciousness.

9S.

Captain Lily wants to ask you about the YoRHa.

That guy…

The maintenance of your unit hasn't completed yet.

Recommendation: Return to the Resistance Camp.

Warning.

It's dangerous to move under this condition.

She's awake!

What's going on?

S-So scary.

She will devour us.

Hey, what are you doing?

Stop it.

I can't move my body?

Report.

The drive system of the YoRHa unit A2 is experiencing anomalies.

Because the fuel filter is damaged.

Filter?

Recommended: Replace it immediately.

How am I supposed to…

Why do you keep splashing water on me?

What exactly are you trying to do?

So scary.

If you're scared, then don't come any closer.

B-But you can't move your body.

You must be sick.

A sick body needs to be cured.

Cured? Are you trying to cure me?

How dare machine lifeforms to say so!

We found a method in a book.

First, cool down the head.

Next, warm up the body,

making the body warmer.

Hey, you can't be serious.

Stop it, fool!

Don't bring that thing near me.

-Hey, Box, stop this guy! -So loud, so scary.

Not recommended.

This is not appropriate treatment.

Is it not okay?

No.

Well, let's take medicine next.

Everyone prepared it together.

I'll feed you the medicine.

Hey, stop this guy.

No harmful substances were detected.

It's safe.

-Are you kidding me? Then you drink it! -Drink it now.

Oh my. It's so lively here.

Uncle Pascal.

Did I interrupt you?

Don't mind me, please continue.

You!

Just kidding.

I apologize for what the kids did.

Let me introduce myself again.

My name is Pascal.

I am the head of this village.

I heard you can't move now.

Don't come any closer to me.

It seems that the kids have caused you a lot of trouble.

I am really sorry.

But those kids were just trying to help you

in their own ways.

They were not doing it right, though.

They were so scared.

What?

Those little guys.

They can't even kill a weak Android that way.

That's because I taught those kids

the fear.

Fear?

Yes.

I've taught them various emotions and knowledge.

Among them, the key to protecting them and keeping them away from danger is the fear.

I often tell them to learn to be scared.

Why?

Because if one doesn't understand it,

one won't be scared of death.

Especially to those hostile ones who carry weapons.

This is what I teach them most often.

I hate machine lifeforms.

My purpose is

to eliminate all of you.

But you didn't do it.

Actually, I was so worried and peeking all the time.

Just let them go this once.

I didn't expect you to be so righteous.

I just…

Even though the records show that the Androids are dangerous.

After talking face to face like this,

the impression will be very different.

No wonder the kids would get close to you.

It is not true.

It is true.

If they were truly scared, they wouldn't get close to you.

They must see that your nature is not bad.

Mind your own business.

Please take care of those kids in the future.

Darn, all of them don't listen to me.

Question.

What do you mean by all of them?

Please be specific…

It's you.

(NieR: Automata Ver1.1a)

(NieR: Automata Ver1.1a)

This place is nice, isn't it?

We usually play here.

Is it comfortable for you to sit inside?

Is it very cool?

Darn, if I could move…

Well, when did you guys prepare this?

Uncle Pascal said this should come in handy

and told us to go collect materials.

We thought you are pathetic because you couldn't move.

Mind your own business.

Oh my.

What's this place?

Machine lifeforms without hostile reaction,

and kids…

The enemy has evolved?

My purpose is to eliminate machine lifeforms.

I live for this.

That's how it's supposed to be.

Answer.

Just replace the filter,

and your functions will be restored immediately.

Right, you're here.

Get me a replacement filter right away.

No.

Unable to follow this command.

You said you follow me.

Answer.

The YoRHa unit A2 has no command authority.

Moreover,

since A2 is unable to act on its own,

to ensure safety,

-I cannot be more than 100 meters away from you. -What a useless box!

Alternative: Suggest entrusting Pascal with it.

I'd rather die than be taken care of

by machine lifeforms.

Is that your friend?

No.

So is that your family member?

I don't have that sort of thing.

-She is angry. So scary! -I'm sorry.

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey, Box, do something.

No.

You should handle the situation yourself.

Darn, stop crying! Don't be noisy. Be quiet.

Fun, fun.

Why is it so much fun?

Not being alone is truly fun.

Fun, fun.

-Not being alone is the best. -So fun.

So fun.

What am I doing?

What do you mean by that?

I don't understand.

What is "not being alone"?

Is it tasty?

Don't you understand?

Because from the moment of birth,

we have always been here together with everyone.

You are

not being alone now.

Us?

Right.

But not everyone is going to be together forever.

No matter how happy,

one day we must part ways,

even those who are irreplaceable.

So you must seize the moment,

cherish your partners and family members.

Partners, family members.

Seize the moment.

We understand, Sister.

Sister?

-Sister. -Partners, family members. Seize…

Darn, don't call me that.

Stop it, be quiet.

I thought you had finally quieted down.

Enough.

Your way of speaking has become much rougher now.

Who are you?

What? Have you forgotten?

You are…

Lily.

Yes, Miss No. 2.

9S, your current state is not optimal.

Recommendation: Return to the Resistance Camp.

I've never seen your face before.

With those goggles… Are you one of YoRHa members?

Look at you, full of confusion.

This is a grave.

A grave?

That's right.

Humans seem to have a custom of mourning the dead,

praying for the deceased to rest in peace, and offering flowers.

Everyone is a valuable partner.

Although I'm just imitating them,

I thought I should at least do something.

Do you want to pay your respects before you go?

Look at you.

I think someone important to you has passed away.

If…

If we really have something called a soul,

then mourning the dead will never be in vain.

I see.

You haven't…

Are you okay?

Yes.

Thank you.

-Not at all. -Yes.

Without you,

I would have lost my surviving partners.

I'm really grateful.

After all, this is our duty.

I see.

Then we'll take our leave, Captain.

Captain?

By the way,

your image has changed a lot.

How should I put it?

You've become wilder.

None of your business.

You too. Your demeanor has changed.

So the others…

Well,

you should be well aware of it.

I see.

That's true.

Use this to protect.

Captain Rose asked me

to stay on as captain.

You too.

I think you've been entrusted by someone else, haven't you?

No.2.

I…

Right. Remember to thank Pascal later.

The fuel filters are manufactured in his village.

What? Are you crazy?

They are…

I know.

I hate machine lifeforms just as much.

But as a captain, I have priorities over personal grudges.

And I don't think you're in a position to say so, right?

I heard you're quite popular in Pascal's village.

That's because those kids cling to me.

I didn't get to be friends with them.

Anyway, it's a misunderstanding.

Even though the way you speak has changed, you're still the same on the inside.

No. 2.

You!

No, this is good, very good.

9S, your current state is not optimal.

Recommendation: Return to the Resistance Camp.

Shut up, enough.

What's the point of going back now?

Because 2B has already…

Kill them all. I want to kill everyone.

Whether they are machine lifeforms,

or A2,

I have to kill them all.

POD 042 CALLING ALL HUMANS.

NOW LET'S START THE MISSION TO INTRODUCE THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS OF THE GAME NIER: AUTOMATA. OVER.

PUPPET SHOW NIER: AUTOMATA MR. PASCAL 2

Hello, everyone.

Hello, Mr. Pascal.

NIER: AUTOMATA Q&A SECTION I'm going to read it out now.

He is a game developer.

A question for Mr. Pascal,

what is this box-type machine that we often see in various places?

This thing

is a replica of the vending machine, which was used by humans in the past.

Actually it hides a huge secret.

TOP SECRET It's truly concerning.

Hey.

-Miss A2, what are you going to do? -So scary.

-What do you want to do? -Pascal.

Some things are better not to know.

A2 RECALLS SOMETHING AND BEGINS TO DESTROY MACHINE LIFEFORMS.
