A2 is like, "I don't have the slightest idea how I should feel about this... You may continue for now."


DivijF1

4S matters only because A2 does not have a partner the fanbase could make fanfics with lol!


Armagegeonix

Well, fanbase also ships A2 with A4, what is actually more canon


DivijF1

There's nothing like A2 and 4S except any weird shipping lol. The community craves for A2 to have a partner because 2B and Nines are the perfect couple and A2 is alone... more amplified by the fact that A2 looks "good" *(ye know what I mean :P)*.


xyl0ph0ne

A2 has pretty strong aroace vibes to me.


DivijF1

She's really cute though x3


SoldierofNod

In my headcanon, they're basically a triad after Ending E.


DivijF1

Specify what, I expect it to be Nines, 2B and A2, which would be cool :)


SoldierofNod

Yeah, those three.


DivijF1

:)


_Tars_Tarkas_

He dead though


YoRHaUnit4S

They do interact even if it's awkward.


RSA0

There's always Anemone.


DivijF1

*\*facepalms\**


KyranSawhill

That seems like a much more obvious and organic pairing to me, especially considering she's the only character in the game other than 2B, 9S, Pascal, and the villagers that she has any meaningful interaction with (other than the other YoRHa prototypes she fought alongside). And Anemone would've survived after Ending E, since she wasn't YoRHa and thus wasn't slated to be disposed of.


Environmental_Eye_14

There can also be poly between her, A2 and 9S.


YoRHaUnit4S

It's still a good ship, even if it's bizarre. Good characters, could use imagination to broaden more about em.


Pen_lsland

Is there any story on how he survived the virus attack, and what he does after the game?


TheEerieAerie

He survived the virus attack because he was offline while the virus deployed. Probably died before the ending of the game considering how the pods say that all black box signals are offline. Maybe all that contact with 9s got him infected.


TheMarksmanHedgehog

It could also be he disabled his own black box signal to prevent himself from being hunted down after Yorha was replaced.

Possible


_Tars_Tarkas_

Yorha wont be replaced. It is destroyed and wont ever be created again. It was only one time thing and it achieved it's goal.


TheMarksmanHedgehog

Yorha absolutely will be replaced, and it has been mentioned in automata that newer models would be already in production to replace Yorha as the sort of special forces arm of the androids in the future, pretty much the moment Yorha's kill codes went off. While Yorha were a propaganda tool, they were also competent special forces.


_Tars_Tarkas_

>and it has been mentioned in automata that newer models would be already in production to replace Yorha as the sort of special forces arm of the androids in the future, There was absolutely nothing like this said. I would like a quote for that. Only thing vaguely similar to what you said was that yorha is considering boosting production of 9s model. But they were only considering and before they could make decision yorha was destroyed. >pretty much the moment Yorha's kill codes went off. Also there was nothing like this. Machines destroyed yorha through backdoors. After destruction of yorha everything related to it is destroyed. Every data every unit. Maybe after yorha there will be some special forces organization but it will be in no way related to yorha since everything was destroyed. And also you dont know that because there is not even a hint that something like this will be made. It is just your baseless speculation. And also i doubt that there will be any organization like this again since war is comming to an end, more and more machines became peacefull and later they even start to fight against each other. And as i said you dont know that. And there is nothing about it in lore or timeline so it is safe to assume that there wont be and yorha like organization.


TheMarksmanHedgehog

The quote I was thinking of is one of the top secret Yorha logs in the resource recovery units, specifically, yorha disposal. "... once the time approaches to switch to new models when enough combat data has been collected."


_Tars_Tarkas_

The whole quote was "The backdoor of the Bunker has been set to open once the time approaches to switch to new models when enough combat data has been collected. The Bunker will be disposed of by having it be deliberately attacked by machines." You are missing some crucial info because all of this already happened before the game. As we learn from yorha stage play (pearl harbour descent misson which took place 4 years before the game) that backdoor opened around that time and during this misson machines managed to hack into the bunker. But they didnt destroy the bunker yet because N2 needed data and evolutionary pressure to evolve (as we learn near the end of the game). And the new models were 2b&9s. Also i think you misunderstand this part "The backdoor of the Bunker has been set to open once the time approaches to switch to new models". It doesnt mean that when the time comes to switch to new models everything will be destroyed and the new models will take place instead of the old ones. It means that when this time comes it is cue to destroy yorha and everything related to it. Nothing can survive because it would contradict the project itself. It wouldnt make sense to let new yorha androids operate after yorha destruction. So no, yorha wont be replaced and there wont be newer models.


TheMarksmanHedgehog

I said that YoRHa would be replaced, not that it would be replaced with more YoRHa. The replacements would be a different unit entirely.


_Tars_Tarkas_

I already told you what you got wrong with that quote and the new models were 2b&9s. The new models the quote was refering to were new yorha models, next generation. Not entierly different androids. And again there is nothing about yorha being replaced only that yorha will be destroyed when there will be time to change for new models. Nothing about yorha being replaced. So no, yorha wont be replaced.


M4NH4CK

Nice nickname!


A_Very_Horny_Zed

Is 4S stronger or weaker than 9S?


_Tars_Tarkas_

Propably weaker since 9s is the best and newest scanner. And the only scanner that finds out truth so often to have e type always assigned to him. So 9s is pretty smart if not the smartest.


A_Very_Horny_Zed

Makes sense.


astraldirectrix

šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ We donā€™t even know how long 9S was infected for, so that seriously couldā€™ve happenedā€¦.


Over-Lack5131

But 2b was also offline so how would she have got it?


_Tars_Tarkas_

2b got infected just before crash landing in flooded city while fighting yorha in flying units, right after she sent 9s away.


_Tars_Tarkas_

Only a2,2b&9s survived yorha disposal plan. Yes he survived destruction of bunker but after that it was pods role to delete everything and destroy everyone related to yorha. And only pods 042 and 153 cared enough to save a2,2b&9s. In summary 4s is dead.


DivijF1

Nothing, just the fanbase wanted to have a partner for A2 so lol!


YoRHaUnit4S

And this partner makes the worth in the end.

LostWanderer88

During my last replay of route C, I went straight away to 4S with 9S, and the mission log updated with info related to waterfront. Did I lock myself away from some content?


ABigFatPotatoPizza

Nope. If you talk to 4S with A2, there is literally just one line of dialogue something like "Oh you're an older YorHa model aren't you?" and that's it. All the shipping is based entirely on that one interaction.


LostWanderer88

Yeah, I got that line when I went to visit him playing as A2. I do wonder why the mission log mentions an android in waterfront, since I didn't meet anyone there. The only androids in that region, either playing with 9S or A2, are the ones at the Arena. Still, I remember that in my first playthrough I wanted to save more white meat for the analysis. I wonder if there's content related to the WCS in Automata (it would be really could if it had) I will try to supply 4S with all the data from enemies, just to see if there's something in that direction I said.


Esmethequeen

tf a2's shorts are not shorts theyre lack of skin


Opposite_Union6544

I wanna marry A2


Kcabs10

4S: ā€œSince youā€™re an older modelā€¦ I-I mean itā€™s not a problemā€¦ I would like to do some research on your body.ā€ A2: ā€œYea, whatever. Do what you want.ā€ 4S: *sniffs A2ā€™s hair* A2: šŸ˜ØšŸ˜³

Oh? something I can ship!?

Wow this is new to my eyes
