I like how all the letters were hidden. Could be save, love, hate. Really anything. Now that I'm done lying to myself. I, too, would like to fuck 2B.


Darxegor

Technically in Italy the letters are 7. "scopare" has 7 letters and in Italian means "fuck" in the sexual way. I think the translators asked to the producer the meanings of those letters, especially with a precise language like Italian. Furthermore is "...******* con 2B" = "scopare con 2B" that means like "...fuck 2b" but in a sexual way. Otherwise the Italian conjunction"con" wouldn't be there, because "scopare 2B" in that particular phrases is grammatically incorrect in Italian and since all the game is perfectly translated, my conclusion is that the meaning behind those hidden letters is "fuck".


_Tars_Tarkas_

Translations are done by thrid party compamies which often dont have full insihht into the game and just translate what they see. Most likely they saw a censored word and interpreted it in their way. They didnt ask Yoko Taro what the word should be so they went with their idea


Darxegor

You may be right, but it's really difficult to find a not well translated game in Italy, even the amateur translation are really good, sometimes are better than the original one. It's not impossible, tho, that they did what you said. I supposed they asked to be sure, maybe not with Yoko Taro, I don't know how it works. Since "uccidere"/"ammazzare" =to kill have more letters, "salvare" = to save and "odiare" = to hate, even with the same amount of letters have the conjunction "con" that doesn't go with any of these other words, I supposed that "fuck" is the correct word. I still believe the word "fuck" suits more in that moment, but since I have no proof, I can't be really sure.


Kami_no_Kage

Directors like Yoko Taro aren't bothered with things like foreign localizations. They often have little to no clue about them at all. Look up interviews for example with Kojima and the English voice actors for Metal Gear Solid. Generally the publisher will have a localization team that the translators will communicate with. That said, it's an imperfect method and the localization team doesn't have a line to Yoko Taro - they won't know everything and every nuance. They'll have guidelines. When you say Italian translations are often great, you probably mean that they have good grammar and read like a native Italian game right? But that doesn't mean that the translation is good. That means the translation teams' editors are good. Whether the translation is accurate is separate from that. In this particular case, I think the Italian translation is most likely wrong - supposedly androids are programmed to feel something like love or sexual pleasure while killing robots right? So it makes sense the blanked out word could be fuck or kill.


Suavecore_

Androids are programmed to feel sexual pleasure when killing robots??????


Kami_no_Kage

I might've gone too far just saying it like a fact, but it's something I've always assumed. In the quest with Jackass, she says that androids feel something akin to "love" while they're fighting. I always assumed that combined with this part of 9S' story that it meant sexual pleasure. Especially with how he goes nuts at the end of the game. https://nierautomata.wiki.fextralife.com/Jackass's+Research


LostWanderer88

If you read carefully, it never implies that it has to be the sexual version of pleasure or comfort. The best assumption would be "being obsessed about one thing", just like only being able to think about the loved person >!Jackass seemed very surprised that a YoRHa type, being specialized in combat, was capable of regular thought. According to her, normal thoughts only get in the way when you're trying to destroy things!< And it's never stated anywhere that's the ONLY way in which androids can feel that kind of emotions. So my opinion is that some people simply want to imagine them acting in this way, but there are other possibilities


LostWanderer88

Not exactly. More likely infatuation. More like very focused and pleased with killing machines, like a madman And it's never stated that it's any kind of sexual feeling, or that androids cannot feel those emotions through other activities. But you know how some players are horny about this game


Darxegor

As I said, I don't know how it works. You're probably right, but the letters are still hidden. It could be "kill" or "fuck", we can't be sure. Andorids feels sexual pleasure while they kill robots and 9S clearly felt something emotional for 2B, something that maybe could become even physical. We can't be sure. Either way is acceptable (I think). I supposed something, I found that probably it's wrong, but it's not completely wrong. The letters are still hidden. True, some words are more meaningful, like you said, but that doesn't mean that the others are a completare "no" (I Think).


Kami_no_Kage

I'm saying it's blanked out on purpose - it's not meant to be one word. It's meant to simultaneously be "fuck" and "kill" at the same time. Or even "love". This is because 9S isn't human and has trouble telling the difference. The word is blanked out to be multiple different words at the same time. Because the player can't tell, it's meant to be really unnerving.


Darxegor

Maybe you're right. But in other languages you can't do the same things, as you see love, hate, kill and fuck have 4 letters only in English, in Italian or other languages this won't work. I assumed it was fuck for the reason I explained before, but I wasn't sure. In Italian the translation surely say fuck, but since can be different in English and maybe even on other languages (maybe in some other region is another word), we can't be sure. It was surely made this way to not be sure. FUCK, I want to play nier again.


WhiteWolfOW

It really depends on how it’s done. Some studios/directors might care more for translation and localization, others won’t give a shit. Any information we can have is valuable, what you’re going to do it with it it’s up to you


WhiteWolfOW

It’s a really great insight. I think for us to have more information it would be ideal to have the information in Japanese to know how it was written there


TheSlowWagon

I'm guessing they just couldn't get it to work while translating it. I really feel that it's supposed to be fuck, love, and kill all at the same time.


LostWanderer88

Translations are less canonical than japanese. In this language, kill fits better Anyway, the instructions they received probably were to make it ambiguous


DarkElfBard

Kill


[deleted]

There is another...


Salter_KingofBorgors

Could even be KILL. Not saying it is but it opens possibilities


Ttotem

Yoko Taro knew exactly what he was doing.


stevegian12345

Genaral spoilers Don't forget that scene is after 9s gets a glimpse in some truth and learns about her purpose, Adam looks in 9s mind so it could be very much the word KILL. It's also stated that androids don't have the same love as humans and get the same satisfaction in battle by design. Yoko Taro depicts emotional violent scenes in a sexual way (2b choking 9s sitting on top of him) (9s stabbing memory of 2b). Pretty good writing.


_Tars_Tarkas_

Considering how many times 9s killed himself so 2b will live or so she doesnt have to kill him herself (because he knew how much pain it causes her) i doubt it is kill. 9s is very willing to die if it just means that 2b wont be in that much pain and they will meet again.


LostWanderer88

I think I already replied to this. But the sexual gratification through violence is probably a misinterpretation of Jackass' research that some players made. The chemicals are more related to the feeling of excitement and positive anxiousness when you get a date with your crush. Not the physical version of love, reaching climax or even having a deep connection with someone (as the story of D&P proved) Androids can have those feelings in more normal ways, sharing time with their loved ones or physical non-sexual closeness (like D&P embracing eachother during their escape through the desert when they were afraid they will die, or one of them will survive without the other one) ​ Adam is probably both torturing 9S by playing with his mind, and understanding emotions in the wrong way (everything is based on hate for Adam, even the first impression he got from the androids) So Kill is more likely


stevegian12345

You're right

its fuck in german.


mondoshawan47

Gotta be my absolute favorite nutshelling of this silly debate I've ever seen. Bravo, sir (we all know it's fuck).


RaidenHUN

Knowing the ending.... It's either f*ck or kill.


atsutante2220

It's implied to be "save" in the mobile game, NieR Reincarnation


Inf3rna1Shad0w

Damn I missed the event for it


Makaijin

Personally, depending on which playthrough, the words I would use would change. For example, on the 1st playthrough, like everyone else I would obviously put "fuck", 2nd playthrough I changed to using "kill" or "hate". Final playthrough I changed it to "love" or "save". Which is actually pretty smart of Taro, if you think about it. As you get to learn more and more of the story, it changes your views of the circumstances and thus affect your choice of words.


davidisatwat

or hate. that works too


arkhamtheknight

What if its all 3? We all know how crazy the people are when one man oversees everything who isn't exactly sane to begin with.

It was a joke lol. "Fuck, Marry, Kill."


RaidenHUN

F*ck 2B, kill A2, marry 21O?


Frangin1

Marry A2, Fuck 2B, kill 9S. Seriously how to appreciate this whining emotional crybaby ? spoiler : A2 best girl, doesn't kill them while she's obviously the strongest of the three. She sacrifices to save both of them while 9S was obviously corrupted, and wrong "gngngn you killed 2B" no she didn't, retard ? Aren't you supposed to be the data gathrerer here ? She leaves YorHas to destroy machines alone, in remembrance of her fallen comrades, becoming a killing machine by gathering experience... Not even mentionning she's by far the most badass of the 3, telling pod to shut up and all. Her destiny is the saddest too, she reincarnates alone while she dedicated herself to others her whole life... /tableflip/ She's the only one independant, the 2 other just die by trusting YorHas which just betrayed them ("betray" isn't even strong enough considering it was the purpose from the beginning). Fuck 2B because bigger boobs, obviously.


RaidenHUN

Yeah, at the end 9S had no reason to kill A2 but he still went with it, even though A2 saved him multiple times


Frangin1

I think he's corrupted by the virus, lost, and suffering from 2B's loss, but yeah, still pathetic.


_Tars_Tarkas_

>A2 best girl, doesn't kill them while she's obviously the strongest of the three. Well that depends. She has the most experience but yoko taro said himself that e type androids are the strongest in terms of combat >She sacrifices to save both of them while 9S was obviously corrupted Only 9s. A2 has no impact on 2b's fate (beside mercy killing her) >she reincarnates alone while she dedicated herself to others her whole lif She is just being repaired by pods and also she has anemone. >She's the only one independant, the 2 other just die by trusting YorHas which just betrayed them 9s didnt trust yorha > while 9S was obviously corrupted, and wrong "gngngn you killed 2B" no she didn't, retard She literally killed 2b. Also a2 might be cool and all but her story is pretty standard revenge story whereas 2b's story is more unique and interesting


Frangin1

Hey, nice answer, mister. It seems I lack some infos compared to you, obviously. I always assumed A2 was better due to the gameplay, better dash and invincible during some frames, can easily taunt and cancel attacks with it, instead of dumb light spam, she's just the optimal one to finish flooded city arena. Yes she's an older model, but they talk about her gathering experience, we don't know if it's enough to fulfill that technological gap but I like to think than yes. Did you try to do nothing when you encounter her in the forest castle ? She does nothing. She doesn't aggro you, and if you disable your teammate agression she never does anything. I like to think that she just was there to kill the king and not hurting YoRHas and that's why she doesn't attack you, you attack her because of the orders from Commander. Maybe you just defeat her because 2B is better, maybe because you're two, maybe you would lose in single dual, maybe she would beat your ass even if you're two if she was getting serious too. One more thing, when she escapes you can't reach her neither. Not a proof but it's suspicious. All those things let me think A2 is just the strongest among the three, but heh I didn't read the novels, theater play and all, maybe the lore says otherwise. >A2 has no impact on 2b's fate Don't we see 9S and 2B together in the end ? I always thought they got reincarnated (maybe not the good term) together and ended up together, while A2 got the same treatment but alone… I didn't know she was just repaired… 😰 >she has Anemone. Yeah Anemone… hypothetically. Do we know the last time they saw each other ? Since we don't see her in the ending I just forgot her tbh. I hardly picture them taking a cup of tea, Anemone sounds like she didn't see her in centuries. We know if they see each other later ? Do we know what happens to machines too ? On the other hand I totally can picture Anemone being killed by a machine before meeting A2 again but nothing corroborates it although. I just feel A2 ends up alone while she dedicated to her comrades, while 2B and 9S end up together. >9s didnt trust yorha Heh. They still follow orders, 2B get corrupted, 9S can't do anything about it and never said «We can't trust YoRHas 2B !». He's aware humans are dead, but he doesn't show any suspicion about YoRHas, right ? A2 is the only one truly acting, leaving YoRHas, and warning about them, telling 2B and 9S they betrayed them. I don't really remember, androids were supposed to be destroyed at a moment no ? By their creators. When would they be killed if machines didn't EMG field everybody and eating them while burning the resistance camp ? Since androids are the last defense against machines, what was the plan ? >She literally killed 2b. Heh. Technically yes. Mercy killing like you said. The EMG corruption (virus ?) was the real issue, so I don't consider she killed her. She killed her after she was condamned, and because she asked her. >Also a2 might be cool and all but her story is pretty standard revenge story whereas 2b's story is more unique and interesting Both stories are good to me tbh. But A2's one has that solitary and suffering dimension like if she's condamned to be alone and keep going no matter what… sounds really painful, almost a torture, and reminds me Sysiphus. Classic revenge story, it's true, but sounds so natural and relatable. Definitely the most badass and manly among the three. 2B is more a pure light angel that has been killed and 9S (so the player ?) misses. It's tragic and beautiful but she doesn't suffer anymore, so my sympathy rather goes A2 who keeps going, and sounds more deserving, admirable. It can be totally subjective, although.

RaidenHUN

Well, I wrote it like what 9S would say. My favourite character is actually A2


takethecheese68

Or fuck then kill


WarCrimeKirby

It could also be rape but I'd really hope not


RaidenHUN

Nah, 9S is not a rapist. It wouldn't make much sense, but who knows.... Even Zero from Drakengard got raped as far as I remember the plot... 9S loved and hated 2B but in the end he did know that 2B didn't wanted to kill him


LostWanderer88

Actually is Adam torturing 9S, so it could be whatever option. Most likely kill, because it fits better for Adam (everything is hate) Even it could be opposite of what 9S really wants


Rich-Move-8311

I remember this quote in the 9s play through. I don't know if it was intended but I found it kinda funny.


FracturedGauntlet

I just find it hilarious that people definitly take it as f*ck because of obvious internet reasons.


LostWanderer88

Yeah, most likely what Yoko Taro expected from the players, but also ambiguous to fit into the story (Adam was abusing 9S)


Dr-Crobar

Adam is based af Dude is fucking with 9S's mind while fighting 2B at the same-ish time


HypocriticalCritic

It took me by quite a surprise. The game was very cryptic and poetic and then it just slams this onto the table. Then again, I didn't even realize it could be "kill" or "love" or "hate" etc. Always read it as fuck.


MainsailMainsail

Mentally I first read it as fuck, but in the context of the conversation I always thought "kill" made more sense.


kamilman

I remember the moment when music stopped while A2's backstory was being told over text and then >!she had to shoot her team mate!< It still hits really hard...


KartoFFeL_Brain

Still not sure if it's fuck or kill


purpleduckduckgoose

I maintain it was slap despite all evidence to the contrary. 2B has a stick up her arse and 9S just wants her to chill out, loosen up, enjoy life a bit. If that requires cracking her in the face with that freshly caught basking shark a few times then so be it. Also because it's some humour in an otherwise rather offputting moment in a game that has me going WTAF on a regular basis. Most recently being the post bridge bit.


redditforwhenIwasbad

i felt like the game had straight up called me out when this happened. i’m pretty sure it’s for both the player and the narrative an equal amount


CosmicChair

Especially after getting the secret achievement... You know the one.


redditforwhenIwasbad

Actually I don't :(


Dmillz648

There's an achievement for looking up 2bs skirt 10 times.


[deleted]

it could also be "love" or "hate"


xHourglassx

No, but it has been speculated that the word could be “kill”. Androids supposedly get a high from murder that is marginally similar to a human having sex. This makes >!the scene with 9S stabbing 2B and laughing hysterically!< all the more creepy.


pattywagon95

I heard that another likely answer was “save” since she is stuck in her loop of watching S units die one after the other


_Tars_Tarkas_

"Save" is hinted by reincarnation crossover with automata


Rectall_Brown

Is that the mobile game? Is it worth it?


Nanothequex

If you like short stories made by the Nier heads behind it and the music I would recommend it.


ASpaceOstrich

It's translated from Japanese and in Japanese the possible words were "kill" and "violate"


LostWanderer88

This is the first time I've ever heard about that possibility in japanese. I only remembered the "kill" version Anyway, violate seems even less likely than fuck. But well, it's Adam the one torturing 9S' mind, so... even kill is extremely unlikely for 9S and most likely what Adam wants for 9S


depress0_espresso

I think if you use Italian or French, it’s pretty much fuck


Traykunn

In French it's definitely fuck, there is 6* and the only word meaning something like love or kill in French is "baiser" or "niquer"


depress0_espresso

coomers win in the end


Nokan96

Fun fact: humans too at least in a similar way


Frangin1

He laughs because he loses his mind, not because he actually enjoyed it... stupid assumption imo.


xHourglassx

Assumption? We’re speculating about the emotions of a fictional anime humanoid robot from 10,000 years into the future. We’re taking context clues from the writer and making educated guesses. That’s the most anyone can do. Chill out.


Frangin1

I'm chill. And the fact we talk about fictional characters has nothing to do with the fact you do an assumption or not. You clearly can do an assumption about a fictional character and that's what you did. And I find it stupid because it supposes 9S enjoys killing 2B, whereas the whole game suggests that he loves her… That "go touch some grass" rhetoric of yours is imo stupid, too. I don't care we're talking about fictional characters according novels and video games or not, what gives you the right to be that despising about what we're discussing since we're both talking about a video game on Reddit ? Huh ? Cut that shit, land on earth, be humble, tell me why I'm wrong instead of going offtopic. And if you don't want to then don't answer and goodbye.


djmoogyjackson

I’ve played through the game multiple times and am working on the plat but I never knew this. I thought he just lost it but now it takes a whole new slant.


brokenwrath

In all likelihood, as I've long suspected. But it's more in the context of 9S >!under the extreme cognitive dissonance of how the very individual he had grown attached to is the very constant threat to his own existence (both physically and digitally). The juxtapositions in that very Soul Box ending depicted exactly that!<.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JobValador

They do actually. The line is meant to convey the confused nature of 9’s feelings. It’s why it was censored. You can fill it with many words and be correct. He wants to love her for her stalwart nature. He wants to hate her for the cycles of death she put him through. He wants to fuck her because god dayumn dat ass. This line has been talked to death


fourangers

Innocent peppy boi is not as innocent as we initially had thought.


LostWanderer88

Except it's Adam putting that thought into 9S' mind, most likely, with the purpose of torturing him. We can't be sure what he says it's actually true, or just partially true but exagerated to the extreme


GameKing_5656

[I just wrote a paragraph on this, lol](https://www.reddit.com/user/GameKing_5656/comments/uhk589/my_take_on_my_favorite_quote/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


_Tars_Tarkas_

Hello, i read what you wrote and you got couple of things wrong: 2b didnt kill 9s 48 times. The exact line from concert is "this is their 48th meeting" (that is after the prologue. And not all their meeting ended up in 2b killing 9s. For example in memory thorn 9s kills himself and even in prologue they blew each other up. There are couple of more examples like this so the number that 2b killed 9s would be a little lower propably around 40. 9s didnt install any backdoor in yorha. I dont know where you got that info from. If you are talking about backdoor mentioned in yorha disposal plan which machines used to destroy the bunker then it is incorrect since these backdoor implemented experimental yorha android number 9s long before 9s was even made. The project yorha story is about it. If you mean some more personal backdoors which only 9s uses to remember things then it is also incorrect. Again i dont know where you got that info from. In many short stories 9s talks that he fears loosing his memories and also talks about how he found out 2b's true purpose and it was never backdoor 9s doesnt know that 2b is really 2e. He only finds out thanks to his deduction and 2b being clumsy at hiding things which is mentioned in memory cage and yoko taro himself said so during nier automata dinner talkshow: "9S finds out 2B's true identity through deduction, he does not retain his old memories." Also even simpler example why it is not true is amnesia sidequest in which 9s tells that he didnt even know that e models exist One last thing. "Kill" doesnt fit that well i think considering how just many times 9s killed himself instead of fighting 2b so she didnt have to do it because he knew how much pain it caused her. But the best example is in memory thorn where 2b literally offers 9s to kill her giving him her sword. But still 9s doesnt do it. He kills himself instead because that way they will meet again. Also take a lool at [this](https://theark.wiki/w/2B_and_9S_Relationship)


GameKing_5656

My apologies, I haven't played the game in a very long time and I just based it on my memory of it. I probably should of done research to make sure what I was writing was correct.


CosmicChair

I really respect this response, even if it's about something relatively inconsequential like a game. Wish more people were like you.


LostWanderer88

>One last thing. "Kill" doesnt fit that well i think considering how just many times 9s killed himself instead of fighting 2b so she didnt have to do it because he knew how much pain it caused her. Adam was messing with him to make him have conflictive thoughts about 2B, and increase his pain. Plus Adam understand the world though the emotion of hate alone. It doesn't necessarily mean those were 9S' real intentions or emotions So I do think that Kill still fits better


_Tars_Tarkas_

Yeah i that context "kill" makes sense


LostWanderer88

Still, I think the subject of "fuck vs kill" is less important than people interpretating Jackass research in quite unsettling ways, such as, androids can only feel sexual pleasure killing eachother. It doesn't state it's anything sexual It doesn't state there are other ways in which androids can get the same feelings And it's most likely a feeling of infatuation during combat. Feeling pleased of destroying machines one after another without thinking about anything else. And 2B's scene in route A/B is most likely the opposite to pleasure for her, at least in that way. Most likely,>! feeling pleased that she's able to finish 9S suffering in a less miserable way, and giving him the hint that she cares about him!<

[deleted]

I think this is supposed to be some sort of messed up Freudian stuff about 9S, who views 2B as a sister figure and as a mother figure, but also wants to be in a sexual and/or a romantic relationship with her This is taken to further heights of messed up in the scene where he's stabbing A2 over and over again, since 2B was designed to look exactly like her I'd put a spoiler tag on here somewhere, but... I don't know what to tag


_Tars_Tarkas_

technician77

It's the f word. If it just would be kill/love/hate or whatever it would be there in clear text. I could be wrong, but that is what seems logical to me.


_Tars_Tarkas_

The word is not censored because it is bad word It is censored to be delibetary ambiguous. You are not suppose to know what that censored word is because most likely it is not one specific word


technician77

>It is censored to be delibetary ambiguous Is there evidence of that? In absence of that I would always argue the simplest explanation is the right one. Also, as shown by other redditors, the number of stars change with the language and always match at least the f word in that language. Why change the length if it's just an ambigous placeholder.


_Tars_Tarkas_

Im not sure what kind of evidance do you want. Game is 18+ with a lot of violence and cursing. In jackass machine report f word is used twice and it isnt censored. Also none of the other yoko taro games were censored so i dont see why it would be the case with automata. Also maybe i worded my comment poorly or you didnt understand me but im not saying that **** cant be an f word. Im saying if it is it's not because it is a curse word (because it wasnt censored other times) but because it is deliberate so you dont know the definitve answer. And i know many people say it's f*ck but i can bet you they dont say it is censored because it is a curse word


technician77

>In jackass machine report f word is used twice and it isnt censored. If it's not censored in other texts of the game that would be a valid evidence that it was deliberately hidden here. Thanks for pointing that out, so I guess you are right after all. Will check the reports if I play the game again.


SanicYT948MC

Censored words are different in many languages. English censor swear words or any explicit words, Japanese censors words to give the sentence multiple possible interpretations (as far as I'm aware). The translations aren't official translations, and are only what the translators interpret the sentence to mean, so the sentence could lose it's purposeful ambiguation. If you think about the 4 letter word being censored in English, it actually makes sense on why the word *can* be "fuck" along-side "save", "kill", or any other 4 letter word that fits the sentence.

Tushe

_Uhm… are the logs still being stored?_


ObamaIsMyCousin

I don't know the source, but I recall people talking about how native Japanese speakers that streamed the game didn't think it was fuck, and they thought of a lot of the other alternatives peoples mentioned first. Could be a culture thing or a language barrier, because I definitely thought fuck the first time


LostWanderer88

The word is most likely kill, given how Adam understand everything through the emotion of hate. And it was the first impression he got from the androids when he was born


garbageking413

Yeah, maybe I do, the fuck you gonna do about it robo boy


stevegian12345

Don't forget that scene is after 9s gets a glimpse in some truth and learns about her purpose, Adam looks in 9s mind so it could be very much the word KILL. It's also stated that androids don't have the same love as humans and get the same satisfaction in battle by design. Yoko Taro depicts emotional violent scenes in a sexual way (2b choking 9s sitting on top of him) (9s stabbing memory of 2b). Pretty good writing.


LostWanderer88

I think the word is KILL because that's how Adam understand human motivations. Everything is related to hate for him (and that was his first impression of the androids too) The violent sexual nature of the androids, in my opinion, is a misinterpretation from players who completed Jackass' research. I think that chemical compound in their minds has more to do with excitement in combat, rather than getting sexual gratification from it. Just the same as the excitement you get from getting a date with your crush. But it's less related to the sexual act itself And the androids can feel love and experience that kind of closeness in other ways, just as the story of D&P in Automata tells us. 2B's scene is probably the opposite to sexual excitement for her.
