2B (YoRHa No.2 Type B), protagonist of NieR: Automata, is shown alongside 9S in a stylized fan art piece, both wearing flowing gothic-lolita dresses with black lace accents and wielding swords. The characters stand in a dramatic, low-angle pose against a soft, textured backdrop that evokes a dreamlike post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Their signature blindfold and long, flowing hair are reimagined in a more delicate, romanticized aesthetic, contrasting with the usual combat-ready look of the YoRHa androids. This digital illustration by an independent artist captures the emotional depth and melancholic beauty central to Yoko Taro’s narrative, blending themes of identity and connection. Created as fan art, the piece reflects the enduring popularity of the PlatinumGames and Square Enix title, showcasing how 2B’s iconic design transcends its original military context.
