What happened in Nier: Automata Ver1.1a Episode 16?
Nier: Automaton Ver1.1a episode #16, "broken [W]ings," caught up where episode #15 left off with 2B and 9S returning to Earth. Corrupted YoRHa troops opposed them, and both were split during the ensuing fighting. While 2B, losing an arm, discovered she was reinfected with the Logic Virus, 9S was in the desert fighting against enormous mechanical lifeforms.
2B tried but she couldn control the Logic Virus. A2, a renegade Android, showed up as her condition was fast worsening. Understanding her death was inevitable, 2B begged A2 to kill her, passing her memories and duty for 9S protection to A2. A2 softly nodded.
She was dead by the time 9S came onto 2B after defeating the machine lifeforms. Believing A2 had killed her, 9S started a furious and hopeless tirade. Abruptly, a massive white construction sprang out from the ground, separating the two violently. The episode ended with 2B's pod syncing with A2, therefore completing her last desire while 9S promised revenge for 2B.
Nier: Death of Automaton Perfectly Adapted 2B
Nier: Although the execution was expertly done, Automaton Ver1.1a stayed true to the death of 2B as shown in the original game. Though the music and directing raised the misery to unprecedented heights, the animation and artwork were excellent. Beyond even the game's graphics, the soundtrack and voice acting enhanced the emotional effect of the scene. The death of 2B was a turning point the Anime had to master and produced an amazing adaption.
Nier: The Anime Delivers from Automaton Shows Its Best & Saddest Episode Yet
The most moving and powerful Anime episode was number sixteen. The death of 2B dominated the episode. Beyond the amazing animation and direction, the episode gave 2B's passing complexity by sprinkling scenes of her time with 9S, therefore showcasing her character growth over the narrative. These sequences heightened the weight of her passing.
One interesting thing was how 9S reacted to the death of 2B. The raw fury and suffering of Natsuki Hanae's portrayal as 9S was exactly caught. The animation matched the feeling, therefore improving the scene. Episode #16 set a high standard with its emotive writing and expert direction, which had viewers hungry to discover what the next arc would offer.
