2B, 9S, and A2 in Nier: Automata – Not Just Broken, But Struggling to Feel Whole Amid Pain and Memory

They’re Not Just Broken—They’re Trying to Feel Whole


There’s a quiet ache that runs through every frame of Nier: Automata. It’s not just in the ruins or the music—it’s in the eyes of 2B, the voice cracks of 9S, the tired stillness of A2. These aren’t just characters you control. They’re people you hurt with. And the longer you stay with them, the more you realize: this isn’t a story about androids. It’s a story about emotional survival.

2B hides behind duty, repeating, “Emotions are prohibited,” as if saying it enough times might make it true. But you see the grief pooling just beneath her surface. 9S is full of questions—wide-eyed and hopeful—until the answers begin to tear him apart. And A2? She’s rage and sorrow wrapped in silence, lashing out not because she wants to destroy, but because it’s the only way she knows to mourn.

They don’t wear their pain like armor. They bleed with it.

That’s what makes them unforgettable. Not their power, but their vulnerability. Every mission chips away at something inside them. Every loss leaves a scar you can’t unsee. They’re not built to feel—but they do. They weren’t made to break—but they are.

And yet, somehow, they keep walking. Not because they believe everything will be okay, but because maybe… they hope it might. Even if just for a moment.

Nier: Automata doesn’t hand you heroes. It gives you broken beings who still choose to try. And in their shattered hearts, we find a kind of beauty that feels all too real.

Maybe that’s why this game stays with us.
Because somewhere, deep down, we see ourselves in them.



2B, 9S, and A2 Together – Designed Without Emotion, Yet Feeling Deep Hurt in Nier: Automata

They Were Never Meant to Hurt—But They Hurt Anyway


Some games entertain. Others challenge your skill or your wit. But Nier: Automata does something rarer—it leaves a quiet ache behind. Not with grand speeches or dramatic endings, but with characters who bleed in silence. It doesn’t give you closure. It gives you a scar you’ll carry long after the credits fade.

At its core are three androids—2B, 9S, and A2—soldiers built for war, programmed for obedience. But what lies beneath their cold exteriors isn’t steel. It’s sorrow. It's exhaustion. It’s the unbearable weight of memory in a world that no longer knows why it fights.

2B is precision incarnate. She fights without hesitation, follows orders without question. But behind her stoic gaze lives a storm. She’s not cold—she’s hiding. Carrying out the same unbearable duty over and over again, she’s trapped in a cycle of grief with no name. Her mask isn’t tactical—it’s protective. And in rare moments, when she says his name like a whisper, you hear everything she’s never allowed herself to say.

9S begins with light in his eyes. He’s curious, gentle, even hopeful. But knowledge becomes a curse. The more truth he uncovers, the more the world unravels beneath him. Every secret he learns is another crack in his heart. Until one day, it’s not just 9S searching for answers anymore—it’s someone else, someone hollowed by betrayal and grief. Watching him fall apart feels too real, too human. Because who hasn’t lost themselves trying to understand something that doesn’t want to be understood?

And then there’s A2. She rages, rebels, isolates herself from everything and everyone. But that rage is just a mask for grief. She’s not a weapon—she’s a graveyard of lost comrades and impossible guilt. Her story isn’t about vengeance. It’s about finding a reason to keep breathing. To care again. To feel anything besides pain.

What makes these characters unforgettable isn’t that they’re broken. It’s that they’re breaking—and still moving forward. Nier: Automata traps them in endless loops of war, identity, and erasure. They aren’t just fighting enemies. They’re fighting despair. Fighting to create meaning in a world that gives them none. And when that meaning slips away, they don’t stop. They stumble forward, bruised and bleeding, because what else is there to do?

That’s what makes them feel so real. So human. Not their flaws, but their refusal to let those flaws define them. They question everything—duty, love, existence itself—and still choose to continue. Not because they believe it’ll change anything. But because they need to try.

And maybe that’s the part that stays with us the most. The mirror they hold up. We see ourselves in them—our fear, our pain, our resilience. They weren’t created to feel, and yet they do. And in that stolen act of feeling, they become more honest, more fragile, more beautiful than any perfect hero ever could.

Nier: Automata isn’t just a story. It’s a quiet question whispered through broken voices:

“If nothing matters… would you still choose to care?”
And when you watch 2B cry, hear 9S scream, or see A2 shield someone instead of striking—something in you answers.

Yes. Even in the pain. Especially in the pain.
Because maybe broken isn’t the opposite of whole.
Maybe it’s just another way to be real.
