Once on the ground, the surviving four YoRHa come in contact with survivors from the previous Machine Wars, dubbed as the Resistance, and the two forces join together to complete the mission. This particular mission began with 16 individual YoRHa prototypes, but was quickly reduced to a mere four units, the majority of the squadron destroyed by machine lifeforms upon descent from the Bunker.

This particular mission was part of the prototype experiments, which put the individual androids into impossible situations in order to obtain valuable battle data that would later be implemented into the standard YoRHa units. In order to further develop the official release of the YoRHa androids, various experiments were necessary. The story of the play, as with all the previous versions, depicts the Pearl Harbor Descent Mission on December 8, 11941, essentially a prequel to NieR:Automata, although the stage play was produced many years before the game. For any NieR fan this is definitely a must-see production, not to mention the music was produced by Okabe Keiichi from MONACA, so you will certainly hear many familiar, emotion evoking themes throughout the show! Although the original script was penned by Asakusa Kaoru, NieR creator/director Yoko Taro worked on the script for this version.

The previous versions of the stage play have been portrayed by an all-female cast however, this version features an all-male cast. This is the 5th iteration of the YoRHa stage play which began with Ver.1.0 in October 2014, well before the development of NieR:Automata.
