As we already mentioned in a previous article, the arrival of 2Bprotagonist 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 the design of 2B 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, otherwise he would fire them. 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. internet is amazing», he 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 kinds of tactics won’t work with “NieR: Automata” or popular director Yoko Taro. That is to say, 2B’s butt will remain as perfect as it always has been.
