Why is 2B’s butt so “perfect”? —Kudasai

As we mentioned in the previous article, the arrival 2Bmain character “R&D: Automata“, to a popular video game”Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising” has become a trend because the movements heavily concentrate on the character’s butt. It’s something franchise insiders were probably expecting, but newcomers might be wondering: Why is 2B’s ass so popular?

To understand this, we have to go back in time to the moment NieR: Automata hit the market, in January 2017, that is, seven years ago! At the time, the world was just getting to know 2B, and many were quick to notice that the design and development team had put a lot of effort into the character’s back.

And then eccentric video game director Yoko Taro comes to the rescue. In one of his many interviews, the director mentioned that the design of 2B was not initially intended to be very sensual, but When he received the original designs, he told the 3D modelers to make his ass as perfect as possible or he would fire them. So naturally they went to great lengths to create amazing buttocks.

Interestingly, there was even a “hole” in its design. After noticing 2B’s design in the video game files, fans quickly discovered that 2B’s anus was actually based on his model. This sparked a controversy on social media, which was then Yoko Taro reacted in the most ironic way.:

• “Because of 2B’s scandalous ass, many scandalous illustrations are made. Collecting them to share individually is difficult. It would be great if we could compress them for easy distribution each week.“, he wrote on Twitter.

Following this post, fans began sending him compressed files (such as .ZIP and .RAR) full of erotic illustrations of 2B’s ass, and the director was impressed by the response from the community of followers:

• “When I said I wanted people to collect the 2B images and put them in a zip file for me, that tweet had all sorts of consequences. Now people collect them. Internet is amazing“, he added.

So, if you’re one of those who think that Twitter controversy is enough to “cancel” a project or idea, You can be sure that such tactics won’t work with NieR: Automata or popular director Yoko Taro. That is, 2B’s butt will remain as perfect as always.
