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!
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!

ACCESS TO THE VENUE
The best way to get to the UDX Theater is probably by taking JR to Akihabara. It’s a 2 minute walk from the Denkigai exit.
This is just a quick message. Comparing the script from the new YoRHa Musical Ver.1.2 with the script for the YoRHa Ver.1.1 Stage Play, this scene has *not* been changed in the slightest. Merely, my English translation has changed a little bit since then.
This is my translation directly from the musical script that was sold at the show:
No2: Our memories… are pseudo memories.
No4: They’re false memories programmed in order to promote diversity and evolution on the battlefield.
No2: In my memories, I lived in the country with my grandma.
No4: In my memories, I hung out a lot with my friends at school.
No2: Everyday, grandma and I would tend to the farm and knit… …The cold of the rain, the ferocity of storms. The silence of the snow. The gentle warmth of spring…
No4: After school, we’d go eat the most delicious things, have fun dressing up, playing games…
No2: Since we lived in the country, I couldn’t have everything I wanted. But because the other villagers looked out for me, including my grandma… stranely, it wasn’t so hard.
No4: As long as I had my friends, I could endure my studies. We’d laugh day after day; no matter what hardships came our way, we were able to overcome them.
No2: ……My grandma taught me “kindness,” a gentle heart to cares for others.
No4: ……My friends taught me “hope”, a strong heart to laugh even in the face of difficulty.
No4: Holding tightly onto these false memories, we fight.
No2: But they are also our precious memories.
No2 & No4: The time… draws near…
No2 & No4: Our final moments… are about to begin…
