2B is one of the most important female characters in the world of video games, being that the protagonist of NieR: Automata is the perfect combination of a beautiful “waifu” with a voluptuous body in key areas, as well as a combat android expert in melee combat with weapons. With such great popularity, a few years ago the game’s creator, the eccentric Yoko Taro, was asked about his position on one of these important aspects in 2B, more precisely her butt, leading him to comment his curious opinion on the situation, in a moment that surprised fans.
What does Yoko Taro think about 2B’s butt in NieR: Automata?
With the rapid popularity that 2B was able to obtain with the release of the hack and slash video game NieR: Automata, it is not surprising that fans wanted to know what was the position of its creator, Yoko Taro, in this situation. Since even before the official release of the title, which took place in February 2017, a month before, during January, the players already knew 2B, so the creator took the opportunity to give an idea about 2B’s backside, which consisted in gathering all the fanarts of the fans in a compilation .zip file.
And being today 2B one of the most beloved “waifus” on the internet, to whom all kinds of works are still dedicated, at that time when she was just known her name flooded every part of the internet. That’s why this idea of Yoko Taro was published in a tweet at the time, where he himself was aware of the large number of images where the ass of the protagonist of NieR: Automata was the main focus, commenting on how he wanted the same players to send him as many of these illustrations in a .zip file compilation every week.
But it was not only the fans who were surprised by the unexpected request of the creator of NieR: Automata, but he himself was the most shocked, and many fans began to send him .zip files where these fanarts were collected, just as he had requested, commenting on this fact in the publication. Even in his astonishment he left a phrase that fascinated NieR: Automata fans: “the internet is wonderful”.
This tweet would be made in the year 2017, and although quite some time passed since this, 2B remains to this day one of the most illustrated characters in the world of video games, with a number of works where these images stand out, but is that also cosplays where 2B is the protagonist can still be seen to this day. For his part, although Yoko Taro did not continue to receive these .zip files, what can be recovered from this whole situation, is not only that the creator of NieR: Automata was aware of the popularity of his “waifu”, but also that he fervently supports any kind of work in which she is the protagonist, especially her ass.
NieR: Automata is a video game that was released in 2017 and which is considered one of the best hack and slash of all time, which knew how to perfectly combine a frenetic combat system with a story that traps from the first moment the player has contact with this. Although no official sequels were released, both 2B and the game are still very present, either by collaborations with other titles over the years, or with the release of its anime that ended in 2023 and confirmed that its second season will premiere during the course of 2024.
