And so, the presence of a single true human on Earth some 1500 years after true humanity's extinction would be nothing but a blip in the records, quickly forgotten. But the thing is, that wouldn't actually help anybody: it's unlikely anyone would even become aware of it until he failed to show any symptoms for a decade or more, and by then people would remember so little of what they did (not that they knew much about it in the first place) that the process couldn't be duplicated. If this happened, Nier wouldn't get the Black Scrawl. What follows is entirely speculation, but I think it is likely within the abilities of. If we assume (and this is almost certainly the case) that Nier was reborn as a Replicant, then yes: he has early Black Scrawl, and unless he meets some kind of violent end, the Black Scrawl will eventually kill him. But if nothing else kills him, the Black Scrawl will.Įnding E is slightly more ambiguous, but only slightly. A lot can happen in a decade or so, and so it's entirely possible that something else might kill him first, and that's exactly what happens in Ending D: technically he has early Black Scrawl for a few minutes, but then he wipes out his own existence, so the point is moot.

So yeah in Endings A, B, and C, Nier now has the early stages of the Black Scrawl, and unless he meets some kind of violent end, this is what will eventually kill him. We also don't know if Yonah's case takes an unusually long time to kill her. She might live a few more years after that, or she might not it's tough to be sure. Yonah is basically born with it, but at least in the iteration we see in Nier, she lives for at least ten years before dying, not counting the time she spent comatose. Black Scrawl doesn't always show its symptoms right away.

When a Gestalt dies, the Replicant gets the Black Scrawl, but it's important to keep in mind that the.
