corru[P]tion is the nineteenth episode of the NieR:Automata Ver1.1a anime series.
Summary[]
9S attempts to enter the newly constructed Machine tower, but cannot breach the entrance. He is then attacked by Operator 21O, but despite being infected by the virus, she is unwilling to hurt 9S and commits suicide instead. In her last moments, she passes along data about the tower, revealing that it is powered by three sub-units, the destruction of which will render the tower defenseless. Armed with this knowledge, 9S makes his way to the nearest sub-unit. Meanwhile, A2 returns to Pascal's village to pick up supplies for the Resistance until Pod 042 warns them of an army of hostile Machines approaching. Pascal leaves to retrieve more weapons while A2 prepares to defend the village. At the coast, 9S enters the first sub-unit and in his rage, massacres all of the Machines inside despite them being non-hostile. The core to the sub-unit is destroyed, but 9S remains consumed with rage.
Alternate Ending: Devola and Popola attempt to have 9S listen to the "Song of the Ancients", but he ignores them. They then host the 666th episode of "Automata Shopping" but without 9S' assistance they are ambushed and killed by Machines.
