[@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit]

Just to recap, 9S has: 1. Lost 21O, after being forced to fight her 2. Lost 2B, right infront of his face 3. Been forced to fight clones of his android waifu in a sick parody of her returning from the dead 4. Learned that YoRHA was meant to die form the beginning. 5. Learned his hot android waifu was just there to keep him from getting too smart and forced to murder him when that happens. 6. Learned that humans, the people they were meant to protect with their lives, are all dead. All the sacrifices they've been forced to make have been all to continue a farce. 7. Come crashing down to the unavoidable conclusion that his life is completely meaningless and has gone completely insane from realizing so. The "S" part of his name wasn't Scanner. Its clearly for "Suffering". The worst part of this is he was just a genuinely optimistic kid who wanted to make the world a better place, and the world gave him the biggest of middle fingers for his trouble.

[@Shadow-eq9fz]

Rei I was thinking someone should make that a Caveman Spongebob meme.

[@Ivy-jq6di]

Rei Wow I think you nailed in on the head with that conclusion, though you did forget to mention that he was really lonely because before 2B, he went on missions alone and never really had a friend to talk to. I was one of those players who got really attached to 9S given the circumstances of the game's world and how he was like a breath of fresh air for being so endearingly human when he speaks. Route C/D crashed down on his hopes and dreams, and I don't think I've ever encountered a character so tragic and so undeserving of everything he went through. Truly an unforgettable character.

[@taylors5981]

I've seen quite a few people claim 9S started hating her after he started going crazy and after he learned the truth. I disagree. Rather than hate her, I think he is just very upset and holds a lot of resentment towards her. I think he feels more confused than anything. He hates the lies, not 2B herself. He loves her. Losing 2B and then on top of that being told the truth by A2, he couldn't mentally handle it and in his unstable state he could only think of her and you can tell from that one part he wanted to keep all those memories he had with her because he loves her so much, but it is too painful for him. I hope there is a sequel or something and we can see them together again. I know the ending(s) are sort of optimistic. (Spoilers) One ending 9s takes on the body of a machine. Another ending A2 sacrifices herself and cures him and the pods rebuild them and restore them with the hope that they'll change the future and not keep repeating the same mistakes.

[@8unnylover]

T S Have you seen ending E? It's very hopeful, though it is very difficult to achieve, and it implies that you'll have to keep working hard to get a happy ending. Who knows if Yoko Taro will ever actually release another game with them in it

[@deathraptorf22gaming]

It would appear 2B and 9S definitely deserve a happy ending. And perhaps an anime or both or any combination thereof

[@spiderbatman97]

9S never hated her, he actually adores her and think of her as the most important person in his life, what motivates his violent actions toward the 2B clones isn't hate but possessiveness, especially after what happened in Soul Box, the memories of 2B are the last thing that he has and from his point of view the machines are perverting her image by throwing those poor imitations of her, he is definetly angry with the circumstances of their painfull cycle thought. Also, i don't doubt that Yoko Taro is going to make a sequel to Automata, but don't expect 2B, 9S and A2 back, as far as he is concerned, their characther arc are over and bringing then back would be like repeating himself (he has stated before that he doesn't like to bring the same protagonist for more than one game), so their destinies after the first are up to you, best case scenario he might make a reference to then but nothing concrete.

[@Balthazzarr13]

There are scripts from the nier automata concert that showed 5 more stories about 2b and 9s before the action of the game and some during the game, and you can see that they both knew about each other, ie 2b killing 9s and 9s knowing 2b as 2e. If the game didnt break your heart enough these scrips will. Here is something from the script that shows they both knew what they needed to do but they still did it because they wanted to be together: 2B (narration): Even if the pain of killing 9S is the sin I must bear. 9S (narration): Even if the joy of meeting 2B is my reason to live. 2B (narration): I'll still resist. 9S (narration): I'll keep fighting. 2B and 9S (narration): Even if that means ... 2B and 9S (narration): Going against God. here are the scripts mintychu.dreamwidth.org/tag/script

NieR Automata handled 2B's death and 9S' fall into insanity so well it made me, the player, feel emotions. 2B was a badass that I played with, journeyed with, massacred machines with, I went on multiple epic quests with her, etc. Then to just have her taken from me like that... I legitimately felt empty and sad about her death. Then the game kept shoving the memory of 2B in my face; Having me fight to keep her memories, have everyone remind me of her death, hearing her final words and last message, even forcing me to KILL her over and over; Constantly forcing me to remember that she is DEAD and I can't ever play with her again. It's so tragic; I can sympathize with 9S. On top of that the ultimate truth was one of the biggest mind-blowing plot twists I've ever witnessed. I still think about how even when Humanity is gone, history still tries to repeat itself even though there is no purpose as life is meaningless.

[@petrichorrs]

The voice acting is so fantastic. I really love it.

[@mojijam5291]

[@xcarof]

The second half of Nier: Automata was soul-crushing: seeing 2B’s death and 9S’ abysmal descending to insanity, which in the end resulted in a fight against someone who suffered the same pain (A2), was so damn fucking sad and heartbreaking. The game is deeper than expected, and I couldn’t believe Yoko Taro and his team could discuss about deep philosophical theme like existentialism, while also making a wonderful story. Nier: Automata has become my favorite game, aside from Red Dead Redemption.

[@CyanicCore]

Sadly, a happy ending was never 2B.

[@macblink]

9S english voice wins the language battle in this game, absolutely astounding 👍

[@KOTEBANAROT]

"what do i do now? ive got no one to love and no one to kill" anyway 9s sees that black entity in his mind as 2b because its 2b who kept destroying his memories. also the bodies on the floor are also from the times she killed him.

[@lambs5258]

Insanely talented voice acting. Just unreal how good it is.

[@PrincessTwilightdash]

I think the worse part of 2B death is that i feel like 9S could've saved her but was too late to get to her

[@cokestealer5691]

Yeah, if only 2B didn't push him away too 😔

When you have that one OC that you know you're going to make suffer. A lot.

[@CherrySteinz]

His JP actor sounds too "generic anime" for my tastes. There's something so deeply emotional about his speech in the English. His physco laughter and crying really hits me hard. Like I'm sorry but his JP scream is so gargley and weird. He also sounds a bit too young when he's talking just normal which makes me feel weird- If I'm gonna have a character look as feminine as 9S I'd like him to at least feel like an adult.

[@paradox9369]

Daylight Dev it's was for the first time I've actually chosen the English voice over the Japanese one. Especially for 9S. And as you said, these emotional scenes really showed how much of a competent voice actor this dude is.

[@tink1859]

I liked every other character’s voice in Japanese except for his, though not because he sounded too young or anything

[@geo1740]

Its like yours trying to compare a porsche to a volvo, voice acting in japan is a million dollar industry.

Just let 9s smash he's gone through too much. The only thing I never got is why A2 never told 9s that 2B was infected with the virus.

[@山葵-o8x]

Emperor_ Shädman i'm pretty sure 9S figured it out. but either way he probably wouldn't care

[@zonamaster4763]

9s already know but his emotional state is that of a fuck it all

[@azazel166]

Androids, mere automatons meant to serve and protect their creators developing feelings and a will of their own. It would almost be poetic if their creation wasn't shrouded in tragedy.

[@Pluvillion]

Looking at Nines' emotional state, would he even care at this point?

[@kin4386]

It wouldn't have done anything by that point. She knew he was too far gone. The guy literally went insane because of everything that happened, and losing 2B finally tipped him off. Pretty sure she got the idea that telling him would be useless as soon as he screamed at the top of his damn lungs "I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

[@fulltimenpc]

When I play 9s after 2Bs death, it really feels like having a heartbreak. The ambiance of the game is so different just like what we feel in the real world. Everything is quiet but you have this emotion inside you that is eating you alive. After waking up beside the twins, the game doesn't give you a mission. You just have no purpose. So you wonder around, trying to kill every machine life forms you came across until it triggers the story mission.

[@SparkTFS]

Every N:A player seeing what happens with 9S in the second part of the game: _"Look how much they massacrated my boy."_

[@AzuraRaijin]

It all started with the misunderstanding of why A2 killed 2B...

[@KOTEBANAROT]

Azura Raijin not really, A2 telling him that Toobs got robot rabies wouldnt solve anything. at this point, 9s doesnt care for truth, he just needs a target to satisfy his hatred and A2 is good enough.
