Nier: Automata, 2B: Duty, Dissonance, and the Burden of Being

from Reflective Lens | A Philosophical Look Into Video Games, Movies, and Shows

In this episode we look into character 2B, her motives, her arc, and ultimately what makes her, herself. Through her story we can see her actions that cause herself emotional damage, the one thing android like her shouldn't have. Her stoic nature that acts as a mask to protect herself, to her plot twist and the reason she silently suffers throughout the repeated war.
