Rapi Battles Against 2B in Nikke x Nier 3D Animation

With the release of the long-awaited Nikke x Nier collaboration, we now have a brand-new animation to go alongside it – and it’s in 3D!

It then cuts to an action sequence between Nikke’s Rapi, and Nier Automata’s 2B – both extremely popular characters in both franchises. 2B slices through Rapi’s rifle with her sword, followed by Rapi pulling out a pistol in retaliation. 

Too busy with their own battle, 2B and Rapi suddenly find themselves surrounded by raptures, as 9S watches from above while hacking into the systems of the enemies. We then see a short glimpse of A2, who is due to be obtainable in the game later this week.

If you’ve watched the Nier Automata anime, Nier Automata Ver1.1a, and you watched it with the Japanese dub, you’ll probably recognise Rapi’s voice – also in the Japanese
