Just in time for the NieR 10th Anniversary, I’ve been able to post my report on the YoRHa Ver.1.3aᵃ stage play, detailing the final rehearsal, which was held on March 13.
Unfortunately, due to Coronavirus closures, all public viewings of the stage play were cancelled, but the show was streamed live on NicoNico during the pre-10th Anniversary Livestream on March 29th.
At long last, Jackass has finally made his official appearance known! This is the first view of him in the new version of the YoRHa stage play:
From this blurb, it seems like he will be a sort of crazy mad scientist sort of character… or maybe it’s just my imagination! I can’t help but wonder what interests he might show in Accord… Oh, no!!! (heeheehee)
This production is slated to be livestreamed, but the details are still being worked out. Once anything official has been released, I will report about it here!
We’re exactly a month away from the premier of the YoRHa Ver.1.3aᵃ stage play, which depicts the classic Pearl Harbor Descent Mission in December 11941, several years before the setting of NieR:Automata. We should start to see the boys talking about starting rehearsals on Twitter soon!
In this new poster, likely designed by Koda Kazuma as usual, we see the four YoRHa as they are about to jump into their flight units and descend from the Bunker.

YoRHa Ver.1.3aᵃ/A2
The all-boys cast from YoRHa Ver.1.3a will be making a comeback in this second rendition of the stage play that so effortlessly won our hearts this year!
TOKYO: Shibuya Cultural Center Owada, Sakura Hall – 4th Floor
March 12-15, 7 performances
The YoRHa Ver.1.3a stage play will be coming back for a new version, bringing back the all-boy’s cast in the so-called YoRHa Ver.1.3aᵃ aka A2 stage play next March!
Tickets go on sale tomorrow!!!
The afternoon and evening performances on March 14 will be broadcast live on NicoNico, so stay tuned for the link to those pages in the future. You can purchase single tickets for 2500 points or 4000 points for both!
The entire cast from YoRHa Ver.1.3a will be returning, all except for Matsubara Rin, who played Anemone. Because of this, the entire character will be replaced with Jackass, as played by Kurotaka. Although the website hasn’t updated an image of him yet, you can view a couple shots of him on his agency’s page.
There will be recorded voices performed by:
Like the previous Ver.1.3a stage play, the following talented musicians will be returning:
Along the same lines music, both Akaba Yukino and Nagaya Mikoto from GEMS COMPANY are listed in the credits for the “image songs”, so this is likely referring to their updated version of “Normandy” and “Gualdalcanal”.
This page will be updated in the event any
additional information on these events is released.
The two recordings of the YoRHa Ver.1.3a stage play on NicoNico Douga will be ending later today at 11:59pm! If you haven’t seen the play yet, this is your last chance until a later date when it will [more than likely] be released on Blu-ray!
To view this livestream, you can purchase “net tickets” through NicoNico here. Tickets will be available until July 31 at 11:59pm (JST). So, even though the broadcast has finished, you can still purchase tickets and watch the show!
If you’ve never used NicoNico Douga before but still want to try and see these live broadcasts, please refer to this tutorial that I made several years ago just for you!
