Since the release of the stage play YoRHa Ver.1.0 on DVD this past February, I had worked on translating the insert booklet that came with it shortly after it was released… but apparently forgot all about it. ^^; So, let this post rectify that oversight.
The inside of the two-page booklet covers information on all 16 of the YoRHa androids, including rank, position, individual specs, and their unique “false memories”. Enjoy!

False Memory: Girl who lived happily with her grandmother
No3
Attacker
Spear Soldier: Double-handed Spear
She achieved the greatest number of kills in the mock battle experiments. At the same time, she has the highest rate of destruction to her own frame. Because she lacks the sense of cooperation, until deployment into battle it is necessary to maintain her through simple hypnosis.
