just y[O]u and me is the twenty-second episode of the NieR:Automata Ver1.1a anime series.
Summary[]
Devola and Popola recount the history of humanity, stating that after a dragon and giant fell to Earth, an incurable disease began to spread through humanity. In desperation, humanity initiated Project Gestalt to transfer their souls to new bodies. The process was overseen by the original Devola and Popola, but they failed to complete the project, resulting in humanity's extinction. As punishment, the android leadership programmed all Devola and Popola models to feel overwhelming guilt, and they were subsequently persecuted by other androids. In the present, 9S reaches the Tower and hacks the entrance to open it. He encounters a doppelganger of himself who reminds him of how 9S was killed multiple times by 2B, but with 2B gone, there is the possibility of a new ending. The door to the Tower opens and 9S is saved from a Machine attack by Devola and Popola, who perform some repairs on him and send him into the Tower while they hold off more Machines. Devola and Popola end up being critically damaged while 9S is forced to proceed through the Tower alone. Pod 153 warns Pod 042 about 9S' degrading mental state, but Pod 042 can only recommend that 9S try to get some rest and maintenance.
