#Nier petrify kaine series#
These Grimoires are human souls bound into books, but Grimoire Weiss is incomplete, and before the plan can be put into effect, Weiss needs a series of ‘Sealed Verses’. Worse, the Original has seen through the game, and is going rogue, seeking to restore Yonah to her Replicant himself.ĭevola and Popola, two androids who play a role in running the Gestalt/Replicant system, have a plan: they will use the combined power of the Grimoires Noir and Weiss to instantly restore all Gestalts to their Replicants at once. This is not helped by the fact that many Gestalts have begun relapsing and attacking Replicants, despite the stablising maso provided by Nier. The plan had been to restore the Gestalts to their corresponding Replicants when the world was safe, but the Replicants are resisting having their consciousness overwritten, viewing the Gestalts as monsters. Unexpectedly, over the 1300 year gap, these vessels have gained sapience and self-awareness, and now form their own communities. But this is a lie, and there is no known means to save Yonah.Ĭreated from Nier, Yonah and the other Gestalts are ‘Replicants’, soulless human vessels. To keep him in line, Nier has been given a promise by the authorities running the Gestalt project: after 1000 years have passed, Yonah will be revived. Nier’s daughter Yonah also became a gestalt, but she is on the verge of ‘relapsing’ and becoming a mindless Shade, so she’s being kept in a state of suspended animation. The souls are kept stable by means of a special ‘stable’ form of the magic particle, maso ( 魔素), provided by the ‘Original’, a boy ( RepliCant) or man ( Gestalt) named Nier. The year is 3361, and the last survivors of humanity have had their souls removed from their bodies, living now as disembodied ‘gestalts’, all to escape a deadly magic disease called White Chlorination Syndrome.
