The prototype YoRHa mission happens in 11941. That and the timeline seems all weird now. aren't? Like local leaders are met or mentioned in game.

Like it alters the (I guess fanon idea) of an android Illuminati a bit, but it doesn't entirely remove it even if that seems to be Yoko Taro's intent by saying that all androids are 'equal' beneath the Council of Humanity.

Not unlike Fires of Prometheus now that I think about it, or the very beginning of Nier where relapsed Gestalts (shades) exist even though relapsing happened because replicants (which don't exist yet) developed consciousnesses distinct from their Gestalt selves. Like I like the idea of the plot in the stage play, but it raises weird questions about how it fits with the other parts of the story. Like some group of androids outside of the original planners do know that YoRHa have machine cores, not sure on if anyone (including White) on the Bunker knows that. Which means that the 'plan' to remove all evidence of anything that could lead to the Council of Humanity being false could never be complete since someone still has to sit up there and keep the signals running. Not only that but there are androids at the moon server, the in game data logs confirm that there's a small maintenance staff. Now did they all die during the end of the stage play? That seems kind of unlikely. YoRHa units salute using their left hands instead of right because they themselves are conscious of ‘not being allowed to mimic the actions of such noble beings as humans’.īut in the stage play, Zinnia, the android that made the breakthrough to use machine cores as part of the YoRHa forces has superiors he reports to and are aware of his plans and operations. The one who created the YoRHa forces decided that units with such a tainted origin ‘should not be allowed to act in the same way as the noble humans’, and banned emotions when YoRHa was officially established.įurthermore, to account for having black boxes, YoRHa units were implanted with a powerful program that compels them to love humanity (this is taking into account the possibility of a unit going rogue). The fact that black boxes are a product of enemy technology is a subject of much shame to androids. Another reason is that YoRHa units have black boxes. The YoRHa squad members only know that ‘emotions were deemed unnecessary at some point in the past’ but not any details. Because of that, emotions were deemed unnecessary for combat and were subsequently banned. First, during the descent operation depicted in the YoRHa stage play (that A2 participated in), A2 went into hiding after the battle due to emotions.
