Hello mr. robot Masamune, do you have a collegue named Muramasa somewhere?

Please tell me the new android is actually Kainé that got the Motoko Kusanagi treatment. (Ok it would be a terrible twist, but I miss Kainé)

Correction: there is no safe anywhere in a Yoko Taro game. Well, maybe except the start menu, we haven't seen any character get killed off there yet.

Remind me, did the narrator in D3 get the Zero treatment before or after the start menu?
In any way, give it time and have faith in the dark side of the force.

I'm not going to lie, Pascal has anyways struck me as being TOO nice. It seemed like a front to me, to cover something way more sinister. That feeling really solidified during this whole area. I felt like he just aimed me at the Forest King and knew 2B and 9S would murder the poo poo out of the king and all his subjects. The fact that 2B didn't kill the king never mattered. Pascal knew that brat was going down.

I'm almost certain that was just the beginning of their gasp at baby-stabbing android appearing.

Now that I'm looking for it I sort of see what you're talking about, but I think if it was intentional it would be a lot more obvious.

So here's something I do know, you don't have to drag the box all the way to the right, in fact you don't need the box at all to get back up. If you have a weapon with a rising strike, which I think is all of them if they're equipped in the heavy slot, you can jump, upwards blow, jump and pull yourself up or just land on the ledge anyway.

Steam page says 6 official ones, 4 of which are subtitle only. "Neuner" in German, "Nueve" in Spanish, "9 tout court" in French, "Nove" in Italian, and I can't read the Japanese subtitles, but the voicing sounds like "Nineza".

It's just "Nines" in Japanese. Technically, it's "Ninez", with the S voiced... but Japanese tends to voice S when it's at the end of a loan word like that all the time, so "Nines" is really the better translation.

わかった、ナインェズ。 - Understood, Nine-esz. (She kind of slurs the 'e' a little so it's all quiet-like, and voices the 'S'.)
え!?今何て言いました? - Huh!? What did you just say?
わかった、9S。 - Understood, 9S.
え? 違いますよね?もっと、こう「ナインズ」的な発音でしたよね? - Eh? That was different, wasn't it? Just now, you pronounced it kind of like "Ninez", didn't you?

Good point. 2B and 9S endlessly dying over and over again, being rebuilt and have no memory of their failures or demise. For all we know it could have been happening for hundreds of years by now.
Truly a :yokotaro: level of depressing.

Edit: So, any theories as to why all the forest machines considered an apparently non-communicative baby bot as their king?

In the second playthrough you play as 9S, and just like many times before there's a radical shift in gameplay. Except, instead of turning into a side scroller, or a shoot 'em up, it turns into a dating sim.
