Sensual Android 2B sits at the center of Kidney: vending machines, a Platinum Games action title remembered for its intricate narrative and well-crafted characters. This article compiles standout cosplays that embody 2B in all her iconic variants.
About 2B in a nutshell
Within fan culture, 2B gained momentum even before NieR: Automata released. Word of mouth around this android helped propel the game into broader popularity. Early expectations suggested 2B’s appeal might fade like other trends, yet more than five years after NieR: Automata debuted, adorable robots in short skirts continue to surface. They regularly appear in weekly cosplay roundups such as this one.
