As we already mentioned in a previous article, the arrival
of 2B , protagonist of “ NieR: Automata ”,
to the popular video game “ Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising ”
has become a trend because the movements have a lot of focus on the character's
butt. This was something franchise insiders surely expected, but
newcomers may be wondering, why is 2B's butt so popular?
To understand this, we have to travel back in time to the
moment when “NieR: Automata” was released on the market, in January 2017, seven
years ago now! At the time, the world was just getting to know 2B, and
many were quick to note that the design and development team had put quite a
bit of effort into the character's behind.
This is where the eccentric video game director
Yoko Taro comes in. In one of his many interviews, the
director mentioned that 2B's design was not intended to be very sensual at
first, but that when he received the original designs he told the 3D
modelers to make his ass as perfect as possible, because if they didn't would
fire. So naturally, they went all out to make wonderful buttocks.
The interesting thing is that its design even
contemplated “the hole.” Paying attention to 2B's design in
the video game files, fans quickly discovered that 2B's anus was actually
designed into his model. This started a controversy on social networks to
which, at the time, Yoko Taro reacted in the most ironic way possible :
- « Due
to the controversy of 2B's ass, many scandalous illustrations are being
made. Collecting them to share them individually is a hassle. “It would be
great if we could compress them for easy distribution each week ,”
he wrote on Twitter.
After this publication, fans began sending him compressed
files (i.e. .ZIP and .RAR) full of erotic illustrations focused on 2B's butt,
and the director was impressed by the response from his community of followers:
- « When
I said I wanted people to gather images of 2B and put them in a zip file
for me, the tweet had all kinds of repercussions. Now people are
collecting them. The Internet is amazing », She added.
So, if you are one of those who believe that controversies
on Twitter are enough to “cancel” a project or an idea, you can rest
assured that those types of tactics will not work with “NieR: Automata” or with
the popular director Yoko Taro. That is to say, 2B's butt will remain
as perfect as it always has been.
