DARLING in the FRANXX
The distant future: Humanity established the mobile fort city, Plantation, upon the ruined wasteland. Within the city were pilot quarters, Mistilteinn, otherwise known as the “Birdcage.” That is where the children live... Their only mission in life was the fight. Their enemies are the mysterious giant organisms known as Kyoryu. The children operate robots known as FRANXX in order to face these still unseen enemies. Among them was a boy who was once called a child prodigy: Code number 016, Hiro. One day, a mysterious girl called Zero Two appears in front of Hiro. “I’ve found you, my Darling.”

OP - Kiss of Death
Source: Crunchyroll
Come to me, as our inhibitions crumble
Please don't fear me
The flightless bird dreams of a sky
Whose colors blend into 
the wrong shade of red
I tried to block out the banging on my door
Are you one banging on it? 
Or is it someone else?
Will your lips taste the kiss of death?
Darling, our destiny 
courses through our veins
A change is sweeping across 
the world... Is it love?
I want us to come together 
more than anyone, darling
Please don't fear me
Kiss me now

ED - Torikago (トリカゴ)
Source: Crunchyroll
Staring blankly out a window 
in class, I ask the sky
What am I living for? I don't know
Forced to learn nothing but 
things I don't care about
I eventually found that 
I had no voice of my own
The ideal self I wrote down in 
the blank spaces of my textbook
Isn't a puppet of the adults
And is as free as a bird in the sky
Making me dream, and not giving me the power
To make it come true just 
makes it more painful
When even the length of 
my skirt is decided for me
And I can't find something to live 
for, where does that leave me?
I hear a voice in my heart 
telling me, "I'm here"
Yet the sky is so beautiful...

    Not again. Show some self-control.
[01:06] Zero Two (002)
    Hey, how do I smell?
[01:08] Dr. Franxx
    Let him rest.
[01:10] Dr. Franxx
    He's drained after the last battle.
[01:13] Dr. Franxx
    Sheesh, what a high-maintenance girl.
[01:17] Zero Two (002)
    Does Plantation 13 have an ocean?
[01:20] Nana
    An ocean?
[01:21] Zero Two (002)
    I wanna swim in some clear ocean water.
[01:23] Nana
    I'm sorry to say there's no ocean there.
[01:25] Nana
    Won't a shower do?
[01:27] Zero Two (002)
    I'm in the mood for a swim.
[01:29] Pilot
    We'll be descending shortly.
[01:31] Pilot
    Please sit down and buckle your seatbelts.
[01:33] Nana
    Understood.
[01:34] Nana
    Let's continue this later.
[01:39] Zero Two (002)
    I hate how I taste.
[01:43] Hiro (016)
    The Jian is also known as
    "the bird that shares wings."
[01:47] Hiro (016)
    The book I read about it a long time ago
[01:49] Hiro (016)
    said it can't even fly unless a
    male and female support each other.
[01:52] Hiro (016)
    They're pitiful creatures.
[01:58] Hiro (016)

[02:00] Hiro (016)
    it must hide among tree leaves,
[02:03] Hiro (016)
    wait with bated breath,

[02:04] Hiro (016)
    and dream of the day it can take
    flight into the skies above.
SIGN    Hey, slacker. Where are you right now?  Anyway, you'd better show up for the recruit welcoming ceremony tomorrow. Got that? Too bad about Naomi, but you've been told you can stay, so don't act all stubborn
[02:18] Hiro (016)
    It's blood.
[02:26] Hiro (016)
    H-Hey...
[02:28] Hiro (016)
    If so, where does a bird that
    ends up never flying go?
[02:36] Hiro (016)
    I know the answer to that all too well.
[02:40] Hiro (016)
    The answer is...
[02:42] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, found one.
[02:53] Futoshi (214)
    "Partner Killer"?
[02:55] Zorome (666)
    Apparently, the girl has horns and fangs,
[02:59] Zorome (666)
    and any parasite that rides with
    her will have his blood sucked
[03:01] Zorome (666)
    and die after the third time, without fail.
[03:04] Futoshi (214)
    Yikes. I don't wanna ride with her.
[03:07] Miku (390)
    Surely that's just a rumor.
[03:09] Zorome (666)
    It's true!
[03:11] Zorome (666)
    Someone actually overheard
    security talking about it!
[03:16] Goro (056)
    Ichigo.
[03:17] Goro (056)
    Did you get a hold of Hiro?
[03:19] Ichigo (015)
    Nope. Not a trace.
[03:21] Zorome (666)
    Hey...
[03:22] Zorome (666)
    So is he gonna stay here after all?
[03:25] Futoshi (214)
    But he didn't attend today's briefing.
[03:29] Futoshi (214)
    Maybe that means he's gonna
    turn down the chance?
[03:31] Kokoro (556)
    Hiro's going to leave? That's so sad.
[03:34] Ikuno (196)
    But if he doesn't, where would that leave
    Naomi? She got caught up in his mess.
[03:39] Mitsuru (326)
    I say Hiro's showing real integrity.
[03:41] Mitsuru (326)
    It must be hard for him to face
    us after what happened, too.
[03:44] Mitsuru (326)
    Spare a thought for how he feels.
[03:47] Miku (390)
    God, how forced.
[03:49] Goro (056)
    Are you okay with this, Ichigo?
[03:51] Ichigo (015)
    That idiot!
[03:55] Dr. Franxx
    Good grief. A transport plane's seats
    are too hard for an old man like me.
[04:00] Dr. Franxx
    Can't we travel some other way?
[04:02] Nana
    Deal with it.
[04:04] Nana
    We don't have many options when it comes
    to transporting cargo that massive.
[04:08] Dr. Franxx
    I haven't seen you in ages, but I
    see you're still as stiff as ever.
[04:11] Dr. Franxx
    I wish the seats and your personality
[04:13] Dr. Franxx
    were this soft and yielding.
[04:16] Nana
    Doctor! Stop that!
[04:18] Dr. Franxx
    Is Hachi well?
[04:20] Nana
    He's been asked to speed up
    the children's training.
[04:23] Nana
    After all, this will be the first trial run
    for the unit we're using this time.
[04:27] Dr. Franxx
    I see.
[04:29] Nana
    May I ask you something, Doctor?
[04:32] Nana
    Why run that test case here?
[04:35] Nana
    And with such a makeshift team, no less?
[04:37] Dr. Franxx
    Something's been bothering me.
[04:39] Dr. Franxx
    Although the geezers in APE
    might not understand it.
[04:44] Nana
    So you do have some sort of idea in mind?
[04:49] Nana
    Oh, and please do attend the startup ritual.
[04:53] Dr. Franxx
    I know.
[04:55] Dr. Franxx
    All that aside, I see that our problem
    child has already gone missing.
[04:59] Nana
    But she was just here...
[05:01] Nana
    Huh? Where...
[05:03] Dr. Franxx
    Over there.
[05:09] Code:081
    Damn it! She's running off again.
[05:18] Hiro (016)
    It's alive!
[05:25] Hiro (016)
    I never knew there was a place like this.
[05:29] Hiro (016)
    A parasite?
[05:31] Hiro (016)
    But the uniform's not like ours.
[06:04] Hiro (016)
    No way!
[06:04] Hiro (016)
    Is she drowning?!
[06:06] Hiro (016)
    I've gotta help her!
[06:12] Hiro (016)
    It was like I'd been put under a spell.
[06:15] Hiro (016)
    Her two alluring horns
[06:18] Hiro (016)
    and my first-ever look
    at a naked female body
[06:20] Hiro (016)
    left me transfixed, unable
    to take my eyes off her.
[06:30] Hiro (016)
    N-N-N-N...
[06:32] Hiro (016)
    Naked?!
[06:33] Hiro (016)
    Wait, no!
[06:34] Zero Two (002)
    Oh. And here I thought you were dead.
[06:38] Hiro (016)
    A-Are you a parasite?
[06:41] Hiro (016)
    Why were you bathing here?
[06:44] Zero Two (002)
    It's so weird. I heard ocean water was salty.
[06:50] Hiro (016)
    Uh, this isn't an ocean.
[06:52] Zero Two (002)
    I know that much.
[06:55] Zero Two (002)
    But it's the most ocean-like place I know.
[07:00] Zero Two (002)
    Aren't you gonna swim?
[07:01] Hiro (016)
    Huh? Me?
[07:03] Hiro (016)
    Nah, I'm good.
[07:05] Zero Two (002)
    Really? But it feels so good.
[07:08] Zero Two (002)
    You were staring so hard,
    I thought you wanted to swim, too.
[07:11] Hiro (016)
    Th-That's because...
[07:12] Hiro (016)
    I thought you were drowning,
[07:15] Hiro (016)
    so I jumped in to save you, and...
[07:19] Hiro (016)
    S-Sorry, but could you put your clothes on?
[07:24] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, I get it! You're a pervert!
[07:27] Hiro (016)
    Where'd that come from?
[07:33] Hiro (016)
    Th-This isn't what it looks like!
[07:41] Zero Two (002)
    Your face looks hilarious!
[07:45] Zero Two (002)
    But you jumped in to save me, huh?
[07:49] Zero Two (002)
    I appreciate that.
[07:50] Zero Two (002)
    Thank you.
[07:55] Zero Two (002)
    That uniform... Are you a parasite, too?
[07:59] Hiro (016)
    No.
[08:00] Zero Two (002)
    So you don't pilot?
[08:02] Hiro (016)
    I can't pilot.
[08:04] Hiro (016)
    I no longer have the ability.
[08:07] Hiro (016)
    I even dragged my partner down with me.
[08:12] Hiro (016)
    I don't have a place here anymore.
[08:16] Zero Two (002)
    Huh. So you're just like me.
[08:21] Zero Two (002)
    I'm always alone, too,
[08:23] Zero Two (002)
    thanks to these horns.
[08:26] Zero Two (002)
    If you don't belong here,
    just build a place where you do.
[08:29] Zero Two (002)
    If you don't have a partner,
    just find another.
[08:32] Zero Two (002)
    And if you can't,
[08:34] Zero Two (002)
    take one by force!
[08:42] Zero Two (002)
    Wow, your taste makes my heart race.
[08:45] Zero Two (002)
    It bites and lingers...
[08:49] Zero Two (002)
    The taste of danger.
[08:50] Hiro (016)
    Wh-What are you...
[08:51] Zero Two (002)
    Would you have preferred a kiss?
[08:53] Hiro (016)
    A kiss?
[08:54] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, you guys don't know, huh?
[08:58] Zero Two (002)
    It's a very special thing.
[09:01] Zero Two (002)
    I think I've taken a liking to you.
[09:03] Zero Two (002)
    Won't you be my darling?
[09:05] Hiro (016)
    D-Darling? You mean partner?
[09:10] Zero Two (002)
    Your ability's probably just still dormant.
[09:14] Zero Two (002)
    I can awaken it for you.
[09:16] Zero Two (002)
    And you weren't frightened by my horns.
[09:21] Hiro (016)
    When she held out that hand,
[09:23] Hiro (016)
    I...
[09:27] Zero Two (002)
    Too bad.
[09:29] Zero Two (002)
    Time's up.
[09:31] Code:081
    We've been looking for you.
[09:33] Code:081
    Why do you keep running off alone?
[09:36] Zero Two (002)
    It's not like there's anything else to do
    until tomorrow's welcoming ceremony.
[09:39] Code:081
    Well, as your partner,
    I'm the one who suffers for it.
[09:43] Hiro (016)
    Partner?
[09:45] Code:081
    Are you a parasite cadet? Your
    welcoming ceremony's tomorrow, right?
[09:50] Code:081
    Sorry she bothered you.
[09:52] Hiro (016)
    It's okay...
[09:55] Hiro (016)
    Um, what did you mean by "partner"?
[09:56] Code:081
    Let me give you some advice.
[09:59] Code:081
    Stay far away from her.
[10:01] Code:081
    She's not the kind of pistil
    that just anyone can handle.
[10:05] Hiro (016)
    Your name!
[10:06] Hiro (016)
    What's your name?
[10:09] Zero Two (002)
    Name?
[10:10] Zero Two (002)
    Do we parasites even have names?
[10:15] Zero Two (002)
    But, well, my code is 002.
[10:19] Zero Two (002)
    Everyone calls me Zero Two.
[10:24] Hiro (016)
    "So you're the same as me," she said.
[10:27] Guard
    Move your feet.
[10:28] Hiro (016)
    Getting mocked for my lack of
    a partner would be one thing.
[10:29] Guard
    Mistilteinn's issued a
    search request for you.
[10:31] Hiro (016)
    But the fact that there was still
    a part of me that hoped for one
[10:36] Hiro (016)
    made me feel pathetic and ashamed of myself.
SIGN    I'm all too aware

[11:03] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah, they're all here to see us.
[11:08] Hiro (016)
    "You're the chosen ones," Papa said.
[11:10] Papa (APE Head)
    My children, you have had the good
    fortune to be chosen as parasites.
[11:13] Hiro (016)
    As far back as we can remember,
[11:15] Hiro (016)
    we children had code numbers assigned to us,
[11:15] Papa (APE Head)
    Your great predecessors defended
    our cities and our people,
[11:17] Hiro (016)
    and were told that piloting weapons called
    FRANXX in male-female pairs to fight
[11:21] Papa (APE Head)
    and they splendidly took flight
    as our representatives.
[11:24] Hiro (016)
    was our sole purpose in life.
[11:26] Papa (APE Head)
    Turn your life into a blaze of glory and
    shed every last drop of blood you have.
[11:31] Papa (APE Head)
    I pray that you will become a
    shining ray of hope for humanity.
[11:36] Hiro (016)
    Children that aren't fit for
    that purpose have no value.
[11:39] Hiro (016)
    That's exactly why I decided
    to leave this place.
[11:44] Goro (056)

    No.
[13:00] Hiro (016)
    It's not like I'd be of any

[13:05] Naomi (703)
    You've always been like that.
[13:08] Naomi (703)
    You're just running away.
[13:11] Naomi (703)
    From your partner, and from yourself.
[13:14] Naomi (703)
    You remember how many of our friends
    disappeared from the orphanage, right?
[13:19] Naomi (703)
    There's no telling when we
    could end up just like them.
[13:23] Naomi (703)
    So don't try to play the hero!
[13:25] Naomi (703)
    Who cares if it's favoritism? You're lucky
    you have a chance to stay at all!
[13:28] Naomi (703)
    We've made it so far!

    Why did you have to be my partner?

    Forget that crybaby.
[13:51] Miku (390)
    Right to the very end, we could never
    tell what was going through his head.
[13:56] Kokoro (556)
    I hope they both get back safe and sound.

    Their ship probably isn't

[14:04] Ikuno (196)
    I've never even heard of any

[14:10] Hachi
    Are you ready?
[14:12] All
    Yes, sir!
[14:19] Naomi (703)
    Well, take care, Hiro.
[14:21] Naomi (703)
    I don't think we'll ever
    see each other again.
[14:24] Naomi (703)
    I'm done now, but you still have a chance.
[14:29] Naomi (703)
    You don't have to factor
    me into your decisions.
[14:31] Hiro (016)
    Wait a second, Naomi!
[14:34] Hiro (016)
    What are you doing?
[14:35] Naomi (703)
    I don't need those things anymore.
[14:37] Naomi (703)
    Share them with everyone.

    This is insanity. Besides,

    I'm always alone.
[19:20] Zero Two (002)
    That's how it's always been. I'm used to it.

    No! You'll die!

    here is gonna die either way.

    Well, he's in high spirits.
[11:05] Ikuno (196)
    What's the point of competing
    among ourselves?
[11:07] Zorome (666)
    Hah! Sour grapes, much?
[11:09] Zorome (666)
    Hup! Unf!
[11:10] Miku (390)
    H-Hey, don't be rough!
[11:12] Zorome (666)
    Huh?
[11:14] Zorome (666)
    Wh... Whoa!
[11:17] Ichigo (015)
    You okay?
[11:19] Miku (390)
    Thanks.
[11:20] Ichigo (015)
    The stamen has the initiative
    when it comes to handling,
[11:23] Ichigo (015)
    so consider whether the pistil,
    who's connected to the FRANXX, can keep up.
[11:26] Zorome (666)
    Thanks, Miss High-and-Mighty.
[11:28] Hachi
    Line up in formation with Delphinium
    in the center and advance.
[11:33] All
    Roger!
[11:45] Hiro (016)
    I did manage to pilot back then.
[11:48] Hiro (016)
    If I could just ride with
    Zero Two in Strelizia again,
[11:52] Hiro (016)
    I...
[12:03] Nana
    A startup trial in an actual FRANXX?
SIGN    Plantation FRANXX Parking Dock
[12:11] Goro (056)
    I'm this close to figuring out 
    the trick to connecting.
[12:18] Ichigo (015)
    Hey, tell me something.
[12:20] Ichigo (015)
    Why'd it have to be Hiro?
[12:22] Zero Two (002)
    Hiro? You mean my darling?
[12:25] Ichigo (015)
    There you go, calling him that again.
[12:27] Ichigo (015)
    I'm grateful to you for
    defeating that klaxosaur.
[12:31] Ichigo (015)
    But I want you to stay away
    from Hiro from now on.
[12:34] Zero Two (002)
    Why?
[12:35] Ichigo (015)
    Because you're not part of our squad.
[12:37] Ichigo (015)
    If you're gonna up and leave one day,
    don't get Hiro's hopes up.
[12:41] Zero Two (002)
    Oh?
[12:42] Zero Two (002)
    What are you to my darling?
[12:45] Ichigo (015)
    I'm the leader of this squad.
[12:47] Zero Two (002)
    Hmm...
[12:49] Goro (056)
    H-Hey...
[12:55] Zero Two (002)
    Sweet. I like your taste.
[13:03] Futoshi (214)
    Will we be able to fight like that one day?
[13:07] Futoshi (214)
    Fight the klaxosaurs like the
    FRANXX Hiro piloted, I mean.
[13:12] Zorome (666)
    Say what? Just so you know,
    that doesn't count as piloting.
[13:16] Zorome (666)
    There's no way that loser
    could pilot a FRANXX.
[13:19] Futoshi (214)
    But it did actually move around.
[13:21] Futoshi (214)
    And Papa seems to have taken
    an interest in Hiro, too.
[13:24] Zorome (666)
    Well...
[13:25] Mitsuru (326)
    I hear that pistil called Zero Two
[13:28] Mitsuru (326)
    has the special ability to
    pilot a FRANXX by herself.
[13:32] Mitsuru (326)
    You two saw its four-legged form, didn't you?
[13:35] Mitsuru (326)
    So basically, Hiro was only
    taken along for the ride.
[13:40] Zorome (666)
    See? I'll never accept
    that he did it before us.
[13:47] Zorome (666)
    Don't think you're hot stuff, you hear me?
[13:53] Zorome (666)
    Bingo! I'm the best!
[13:55] Zorome (666)
    Sorry about that. I really
    expected you to dodge.
[13:59] Zorome (666)
    Were you cranking one out
    all by yourself in a training unit?
[14:03] Zorome (666)
    That's perfect for you,
[14:05] Zorome (666)
    a wuss who just hitched a ride with a girl!
[14:10] Zorome (666)
    What? You wanna go?
[14:13] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two said I piloted that thing.
[14:15] Zorome (666)
    The real thing ain't anything
    like the training units!
[14:17] Hiro (016)
    Once I get another chance,
    I'll show you I can pilot!
[14:21] Zorome (666)
    Challenge accepted!
[14:23] Ichigo (015)
    Hey, what are you doing?
[14:25] Goro (056)
    Come on!
[14:27] Ichigo (015)
    Knock it off.
[14:28] Zorome (666)
    Don't get in the way!
[14:29] Goro (056)
    Enough!
[14:30] Goro (056)
    Just calm down!
[14:30] Zorome (666)
    Damn you! You're nothing but a loser!
[14:33] Ichigo (015)
    Don't let him get to you.
[14:36] Zorome (666)
    Lemme go!
[14:36] Hiro (016)
    I can pilot, too. I just need a chance.
[14:39] Zorome (666)
    Tch.
[14:39] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro...
[14:43] Ichigo (015)
    It's Nana.
[14:46] Hiro (016)
    A mock battle with me in a FRANXX?
[14:48] Nana
    That's right.
[14:49] Hachi
    Depending on how you do,
    we're considering promoting you to parasite.
[14:54] Goro (056)
    Grats!
[14:55] Hachi
    Pick your partner.
[14:56] Zero Two (002)
    I'll do it.
[14:58] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[15:00] Zero Two (002)
    I mean, you are my darling.
[15:03] Ichigo (015)
    One moment.
[15:04] Ichigo (015)
    Let me be his partner.
[15:06] Goro (056)
    Ichigo?
[15:07] Ichigo (015)
    She doesn't belong to our squad.
[15:10] Ichigo (015)
    Also, if you're only
    measuring Hiro's aptitude,
[15:13] Ichigo (015)
    it should work with me as his partner, too.
[15:15] Mitsuru (326)
    Then why does it have to be you?
[15:18] Mitsuru (326)
    You already have Goro as a partner,
    and you want to ride with Hiro?
[15:22] Nana
    Pipe down.
[15:23] Nana
    Don't go running your mouths now.
[15:25] Nana
    Zero Two, HQ hasn't authorized
    the use of Strelizia.
[15:30] Nana
    So Hiro will have to take the test
    with someone from his squad.
[15:35] Zero Two (002)
    Boo. That sucks.
[15:38] Zero Two (002)
    Fine. My injuries haven't
    healed completely yet, anyway.
[15:41] Hiro (016)
    Wait, what?
[15:43] Zero Two (002)
    I'll let you have him this time. Go for it.
[15:48] Zero Two (002)
    Take care of my darling, okay?
[15:51] Nana
    Then you'll handle it, right, Ichigo?
[15:53] Ichigo (015)
    Sure.
[15:54] Hiro (016)
    Wait!
[15:56] Hachi
    Does anyone want to volunteer
    as their opponents?
[15:59] Zorome (666)
    Me!
[16:00] Miku (390)
    Ack!
[16:00] Miku (390)
    Hey, who died and made you boss?
[16:02] Zorome (666)
    I'm gonna show 'em what I'm capable of.
[16:07] Miku (390)
    We'll do it.
[16:08] Nana
    Done deal.
[16:09] Hachi
    The battle will be held tomorrow morning.
[16:11] Zorome (666)
    Wait, wait, wait!
[16:12] Zorome (666)
    Let us do it right now!
[16:15] Goro (056)
    Zorome's still mad about your fight today.
[16:19] Hiro (016)
    Sorry. I know Ichigo's your partner.
[16:23] Goro (056)
    Everything ready?
[16:25] Hiro (016)
    Yeah, I have to go.
[16:27] Goro (056)
    Sure. See you later.
[16:28] Goro (056)
    And Hiro, don't worry about it.
[16:31] Goro (056)
    She never takes no for an answer.
[16:34] Hiro (016)
    I'm going to make this chance count.
[16:37] Goro (056)
    Yeah. I know you can do it.
[16:47] Zorome (666)
    Hey, wuss! Let's settle the
    score once and for all!
[16:51] Miku (390)
    Given who your partner is, I might
    just beat you this time, Great Leader.
[16:55] Ichigo (015)
    Feel free.
[16:57] Ichigo (015)
    This isn't about winning or losing, anyway.
[16:59] Futoshi (214)
    Miku's totally up for it, too.
[17:02] Ichigo (015)
    This isn't about winning.
[17:03] Ichigo (015)
    I must prove to everyone that
    Hiro can pilot the FRANXX!
[17:08] Ichigo (015)
    Just focus on connecting, Hiro.
[17:10] Ichigo (015)
    I'll take care of the rest.
[17:13] Hiro (016)
    Got it.
[17:14] Hachi
    Begin the mock battle.
[17:18] Zorome (666)
    We're good to go.
[17:20] Ichigo (015)
    Focus.
[17:23] Ichigo (015)
    It'll be all right. I can draw
    out Hiro's ability, too.
[17:29] Hiro (016)
    This feeling...
[17:32] Hiro (016)
    I'm entering Ichigo's mind.
[17:35] Ichigo (015)
    It's all right. Keep going.
[17:38] Ichigo (015)
    Got you!
[17:47] Zorome (666)
    Are you for real?
[17:49] Hiro (016)
    We did it!
[17:50] Goro (056)
    Way to go, Hiro!
[17:52] Futoshi (214)
    Huh...
[17:52] Kokoro (556)
    Wow!
[17:52] Nana
    But...
[17:56] Nana
    This is where things get real.
[17:57] Hiro (016)
    This is it! I recognize this sensation!
[18:00] Ichigo (015)
    Let's do this, Hiro!
[18:01] Hiro (016)
    Yeah!
[18:06] Zorome (666)
    Bring it on!
[18:08] Zorome (666)
    What?!
[18:12] Zorome (666)
    What's going on?
[18:13] Miku (390)
    They stopped?
[18:15] Miku (390)
    No... Why?
[18:19] Miku (390)
    This can't be!
[18:21] Miku (390)
    Time out! Give us three minutes!
[18:23] Both
    What?!
[18:24] Miku (390)
    You can't just call timeout!
[18:26] Hiro (016)
    Why'd it stop?
[18:28] Hiro (016)
    Move! Move!
[18:29] Hiro (016)
    Damn it! Why is this happening?
[18:31] Hiro (016)
    I was able to pilot back then!
[18:36] Ichigo (015)
    What's wrong?
[18:37] Hiro (016)
    I don't know. It just stopped.
[18:40] Ichigo (015)
    Was it my fault?
[18:41] Hiro (016)
    I don't think so.
[18:43] Ichigo (015)
    What did she do differently?
[18:46] Hiro (016)
    I don't know. I don't remember.
[18:49] Ichigo (015)
    Calm down. No need to rush.
[18:51] Ichigo (015)
    You might remember something.
[18:57] Hiro (016)
    The kiss...
[18:59] Hiro (016)
    Maybe it was the kiss.
[19:01] Ichigo (015)
    "Kiss"? What's that?
[19:03] Hiro (016)
    We stuck our mouths together,
[19:06] Hiro (016)
    and everything turned bright, like, "Wham!"
[19:11] Ichigo (015)
    What the heck?
[19:12] Ichigo (015)
    That's what you were up to
    during a klaxosaur attack?
[19:15] Hiro (016)
    It wasn't me!
[19:16] Hiro (016)
    She did it as soon as I got in.
[19:19] Hiro (016)
    I didn't understand what she was doing,
[19:22] Hiro (016)
    but Zero Two said it was
    a very special thing.
[19:35] Ichigo (015)
    Fine. Let's do it.
[19:38] Ichigo (015)
    It's embarrassing, so keep your eyes closed.
[19:39] Hiro (016)
    W-Wait a second!
[19:40] Ichigo (015)
    We can't move unless we do it, right?
[19:42] Hiro (016)
    U-Uh...
[19:42] Ichigo (015)
    If that's what it takes,
    I don't mind. This is nothing.
[19:47] Hiro (016)
    But...
[19:48] Ichigo (015)
    Shut up.
[19:49] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo, you're trembling...
[19:54] Miku (390)
    Hey, hasn't it been three minutes already?
[19:58] Zorome (666)
    Yeah. I don't see why we gotta wait any more.
[20:03] Zorome (666)
    Sorry, but we're taking you out.
[20:14] Ichigo (015)
    Well?
[20:19] Hiro (016)
    I don't feel a thing.
[20:22] Hiro (016)
    Looks like it didn't work.
[20:33] Zorome (666)
    Hey, this is too easy.
[20:35] Hiro (016)
    Let's try it again, Hiro.
[20:40] Zorome (666)
    Guess this proves that I'm really the best.
[20:44] Zorome (666)
    I don't mind taking over as
    pilot for the Delphinium, too!
[20:49] Miku (390)
    Excuse me?
[20:49] Miku (390)
    You're hitting on another girl now?
[20:52] Miku (390)
    Cut it out already, dude!
[21:00] ---
    Huh?
[21:02] Hachi
    The trust between partners has a
    direct influence on the handling.
[21:07] Hachi
    Should it be thrown out of whack...
[21:10] Zorome (666)
    What's going on?
[21:12] Zorome (666)
    Move...
[21:15] Nana
    Status report, Ichigo.
[21:17] Nana
    Ichigo?
[21:20] Miku (390)
    Get it up already!
[21:23] Zorome (666)
    Shut up! I'm trying!
[21:25] Nana
    Ichigo, don't!
[21:26] Nana
    Piloting a FRANXX alone is dangerous!
[21:31] Ichigo (015)
    Damn it all!
[21:43] Nana
    Of all the reckless stunts...
[21:45] Nana
    Since both FRANXX have been rendered
    inoperable, this mock battle is over.
[21:54] Hiro (016)
    The gentle touch of her trembling lips
[21:56] Hiro (016)
    filled me with guilt.
[21:59] Hiro (016)
    The feeling that I'd gotten to fly back then
[22:01] Hiro (016)
    quickly slipped through my fingers
[22:03] Hiro (016)
    and eventually shackled me
    to the ground once again.
[22:08] Hiro (016)
    It felt like I was being bound up
    in a thousand invisible threads.
[22:15] Hiro (016)
    I'm sorry.
[22:18] Ichigo (015)
    Don't apologize.
[22:29] Ichigo (015)
    You were awful.

[02:35] Hiro (016)
    Yeah. They said they didn't

[02:38] Ichigo (015)
    Oh. That's good to hear.
[02:43] Hiro (016)
    Hey...
[02:47] Hiro (016)
    Ichi—
[02:47] Nana
    Ichigo, get ready.
[02:49] Ichigo (015)
    Roger.
[02:57] Hachi
    He's the first sample that's ever piloted
    with her and taken so little damage.
[03:01] Hachi
    He failed to common connect with Delphinium,
[03:05] Hachi
    but he was compatible with Strelitzia,
    even though he wasn't conscious.
[03:09] Nana
    The only thing that could explain it is...
[03:12] Hachi
    ...the special specimen?
[03:16] Goro (056)
    Did something happen between
    you two in the cockpit?
[03:19] Hiro (016)
    Why do you ask?
[03:20] Goro (056)
    Well, Ichigo was acting a bit
    weird after the mock battle.
[03:25] Hiro (016)
    She seemed mad when I ran
    into her earlier, too.
[03:29] Goro (056)
    She's always gotten too worked
    up when it comes to you.
[03:33] Hiro (016)
    She has?
[03:35] Goro (056)
    I mean, there aren't many of you with
    codes in the teens. You're basically siblings.
[03:40] Goro (056)
    And you've always been together,
    with me by your side.
[03:43] Goro (056)
    It was a miracle that all three of us got
    assigned from the special class to here.
[03:49] Hiro (016)
    Siblings, huh?
[03:52] Hiro (016)
    Yeah, you're right.
[03:55] Hiro (016)
    Hey, Goro.
[03:57] Hiro (016)
    You're her partner. Could you tell
    her for me that it wasn't her fault?
[04:02] Goro (056)
    Sure, I don't mind.
[04:04] Goro (056)
    But what are you going to do now?
[04:06] Hiro (016)
    I'll try asking if I can
    ride with Zero Two again.
[04:10] Goro (056)
    Hiro...
[04:12] Goro (056)
    You've heard the rumors about her, right?
[04:15] Hiro (016)
    That nobody has ever piloted
    with her more than three times?
[04:18] Hiro (016)
    A rumor is all it is.
[04:20] Goro (056)
    Didn't you say you saw what happened
    to her previous partner—
[04:23] Hiro (016)
    Look, Goro.
[04:25] Hiro (016)
    If Zero Two is the only one I can ride with,
[04:30] Hiro (016)
    then I have to ride with her.
[04:33] Hiro (016)
    Our entire purpose in life is to pilot
    the FRANXX. That's why we were born.
[04:41] Futoshi (214)
    So what happened to that talk about
    Hiro possibly becoming a parasite?
[04:46] Ikuno (196)
    He could only connect for a bit at the start,
    so I don't like his chances.
[04:50] Zorome (666)
    No way he's getting in with that weak shit.
[04:53] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't know about the ones who only
    managed a draw against that, either.
[04:57] Zorome (666)
    Huh? That was Miku's fault
    for randomly falling over.
[05:01] Miku (390)
    Excuse me? Don't you remember
    what you said back then?
[05:05] Zorome (666)
    Why would I? Waste of time.
[05:08] Miku (390)
    You're unbelievable.
[05:09] Kokoro (556)
    Don't fight. It'll affect your numbers.
[05:13] Ikuno (196)
    Either way, I don't think Papa's going
    to accept a parasite who can't pilot.
[05:19] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah.
[05:21] Futoshi (214)
    We saw so many kids disappear
    from the Garden due to that.
[05:25] Kokoro (556)
    It was so sad.
[05:28] Miku (390)
    Ichigo's no better, though.
[05:30] Miku (390)
    Don't you think she's being too biased
    toward Hiro? She's supposed to be our leader.
[05:34] Miku (390)
    I don't know how Goro's putting
    up with it as her partner.
[05:37] Ichigo (015)
    What does Goro have to do with it?
[05:42] Goro (056)
    What's this about me?
[05:44] Ichigo (015)
    If Hiro becomes a parasite,
    he'll be a great help to us.
[05:47] Ichigo (015)
    That's all there is to it.
[05:49] Miku (390)
    If he does.
[05:52] Ichigo (015)
    He still has a chance.
[05:54] Miku (390)
    I'm not so sure.
[05:56] Miku (390)
    He couldn't even get it done with you.
    I think it's over for him.
[06:00] Ichigo (015)
    But he did pilot Strelitzia.
[06:04] Ichigo (015)
    Even if he was unconscious,
    he did save us back then.
[06:09] Ichigo (015)
    I believe in him.
[06:12] Mitsuru (326)
    Ichigo...
[06:13] Mitsuru (326)
    I can understand why you'd
    want to stick up for him,
[06:17] Mitsuru (326)
    but given that he was unconscious,
    he was only taken along for the ride.
[06:20] Ichigo (015)
    We don't know that for sure!
[06:22] Mitsuru (326)
    Sure, Hiro was special.
[06:25] Mitsuru (326)
    Even among the double-digits,
    he was a cut above.
[06:29] Mitsuru (326)
    We were all certain that he'd be
    our leader and show us the way.
[06:34] Mitsuru (326)
    But reality had other ideas.
[06:37] Mitsuru (326)
    Hiro couldn't become a parasite.
[06:40] Mitsuru (326)
    He's not who he used to be.
[06:45] Mitsuru (326)
    We must give up and cut our losses.
[06:47] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't want to see this
    pathetic side of Hiro anymore.
[07:13] Zero Two (002)
    Darling, you pervert.
[07:16] Zero Two (002)
    Quit staring.
[07:17] Hiro (016)
    S-Sorry!
[07:20] Zero Two (002)
    It's fine. The doctor said parasites
    are better off being a little pervy.
[07:25] Hiro (016)
    Still, why does that make me a pervert?
[07:29] Zero Two (002)
    I was tired of waiting for you.
[07:31] Zero Two (002)
    Let's go.
[07:32] Hiro (016)
    Huh? Go where?
[07:47] Hiro (016)
    We children have restrictions
    on where we're allowed to go.
[07:51] Hiro (016)
    Nearly all of this area is off-limits to us.
[07:53] Zero Two (002)
    Oh?
[07:56] Hiro (016)
    Is that an S-class ID?
[07:59] Hiro (016)
    Wh-What are you doing?
[08:01] Zero Two (002)
    If we go through together, like this...
[08:06] Hiro (016)
    I got in!
[08:09] Zero Two (002)
    See? Piece of cake, right?
[08:21] Hiro (016)
    Wow!
[08:24] Hiro (016)
    How'd you know about this place?
[08:27] Zero Two (002)
    All the plantations have similar designs.
[08:30] Zero Two (002)
    This is nothing special.
[08:32] Hiro (016)
    Really? But I've never set
    foot in the city before.
[08:38] Hiro (016)
    We've only ever known the birdcage
    and a few other facilities.
[08:50] Zero Two (002)
    Why are you staring at me again?
[08:53] Hiro (016)
    I'm trying to think up a name for you.
[08:55] Zero Two (002)
    A name?
[08:56] Hiro (016)
    I'm really good at naming people.
[08:58] Zero Two (002)
    Huh... Well, I'm fine with Zero Two.
[09:02] Hiro (016)
    But doesn't it feel kinda lame
    to go by your code number?
[09:05] Zero Two (002)
    Hup!
[09:07] Hiro (016)
    Huh? Wha—
[09:08] Hiro (016)
    Wait, don't!
[09:10] Zero Two (002)
    Once we die, we'll only be a statistic.
    It won't matter what we were called.
[09:15] Zero Two (002)
    Just look at this lifeless city.
[09:20] Zero Two (002)
    There are no skies or oceans here.
[09:23] Zero Two (002)
    It's isolated on a one-way street
    to nowhere, a dead end of life.
[09:26] Hiro (016)
    Look, that's not safe! Get back here!
[09:28] Zero Two (002)
    Say, darling.
[09:30] Zero Two (002)
    Wanna run away with me?
[09:34] Zero Two (002)
    I can get you out of here, darling.
[09:48] Zero Two (002)
    Just kidding.
[09:51] Hachi
    We've received sortie orders from HQ.
[09:53] Futoshi (214)
    Huh? W-We're going out to fight already?
[09:56] Nana
    Don't get so nervous.
[09:58] Nana
    You won't have to fight klaxosaurs like
    the one from before right off the bat.
[10:02] Miku (390)
    Thank goodness.
[10:03] Nana
    We would've liked to ease you in,
[10:06] Nana
    but we can't afford to, unfortunately.
[10:09] Hachi
    You'll be facing a Conrad-class klaxosaur.
[10:12] Hachi
    It's a bit smaller than a FRANXX.
[10:15] Hachi
    Klaxosaurs are attracted by magma-energy
    reactions and appear in their vicinity.
[10:20] Hachi
    And lately,
[10:21] Hachi
    they've been showing up deep in a Level 8
    mine on the outskirts and wreaking havoc.
[10:26] Hachi
    Even the automatic bulwark
    systems can't keep up with them.
[10:29] Nana
    Also, Strelitzia won't be a part of this mission.
[10:33] Nana
    You'll have to defend Plantation 13
    by yourselves eventually.
[10:39] Nana
    If you can't eliminate this klaxosaur,
[10:41] Nana
    you won't be able to handle any in the future.
[10:44] Nana
    So focus on the task at hand.
[10:46] Nana
    Ichigo and Goro will have field command.
[10:49] Both
    Roger.
[10:50] Hachi
    That's all.
[10:52] Hachi
    All hands, prepare to board.
[10:56] Goro (056)
    Is the mock battle still bothering you?
[10:59] Goro (056)
    We're going into actual
    combat now. Switch gears.
[11:02] Ichigo (015)
    I know.
[11:05] Ichigo (015)
    Hey...
[11:11] Ichigo (015)
    I'll do my best as leader.
    Take care of the handling.
[11:15] Goro (056)
    Sure. Let's do this.
[11:17] Zorome (666)
    My first battle at last!
[11:19] Miku (390)
    You'd better not go crazy by
    yourself again, you hear me?
[11:22] Zorome (666)
    Relax! I got this!
[11:26] Miku (390)
    I'm not sure you've got anything.
[11:31] Goro (056)
    Ready, Ichigo?
[11:32] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah. Come to me.
[11:50] Hachi
    What's wrong, Chlorophytum?
[11:51] Mitsuru (326)
    Doesn't look like Ikuno can do this.
[11:53] Ikuno (196)
    I'm nearly there! Just give me a bit!
[11:56] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't bother. It's over.
[11:59] Announcer
    Chlorophytum's para-capacity is below
    required levels and dropping further.
[12:04] Hachi
    No go, huh?
[12:07] Hachi
    Chlorophytum will stay behind.
    The other three are to head out without it.
[12:11] Ichigo (015)
    Roger that.
[12:12] Nana
    This might be tough.
[12:17] Kokoro (556)
    What a big hole. How far down does it go?
[12:20] Zorome (666)
    This is nuts. It's a monster pipe.
[12:24] Goro (056)
    They used these to extract
    the magma reserves, huh?
[12:28] Hachi
    Head down to Level 8.
[12:30] Hachi
    As you're well aware already,
[12:32] Hachi
    in order to completely
    neutralize a klaxosaur,
[12:34] Hachi
    you must extract its core,
    which is essentially its heart,
[12:37] Hachi
    and shatter it using your
    customized magma-energy weapons.
[12:42] Hachi
    Shatter the core and finish off
    the klaxosaur without fail.
[12:44] Hachi
    Got that?
[12:48] All
    Roger!
[12:51] Ichigo (015)
    Heading to objective.
[12:52] Ichigo (015)
    Follow behind Delphinium, both of you.
[12:55] Kokoro (556)
    Understood.
[12:56] Ichigo (015)
    And Miku?
[12:57] Miku (390)
    Understood!
[13:00] Nana
    What happened?
[13:01] Nana
    Are you not feeling well?
[13:03] Ikuno (196)
    No, that's not it.
[13:05] Nana
    Very well. You have always
    been a bit unstable.
[13:10] Nana
    We'll run some tests on you
    tomorrow, just in case.
[13:13] Mitsuru (326)
    If I may... Maybe the two of
    us have compatibility issues?
[13:18] Nana
    A lot of parasites experience this at first.
[13:21] Nana
    It isn't grounds for splitting you two up.
[13:25] Mitsuru (326)
    Is that so?
[13:29] Ichigo (015)
    We have visual on klaxosaur.
    FRANXX spreading out.
[13:32] Ichigo (015)
    In position.
[13:34] Ichigo (015)
    Commencing operation.
[13:36] Miku (390)
    Huh, it's smaller than I thought it'd be.
[13:39] Kokoro (556)
    What a relief.
[13:41] Ichigo (015)
    Stay alert. We'll do this as planned.
[13:59] Zorome (666)
    Gotcha!
[14:05] Futoshi (214)
    Way to go, Zorome!
[14:07] Hiro (016)
    They did it!
[14:08] Zero Two (002)
    Not yet.
[14:13] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two?
[14:16] Zorome (666)
    See? That's what I'm capable of!
[14:18] Miku (390)
    Hey, cut it out. You're embarrassing me.
[14:21] Ichigo (015)
    It's not over yet! Destroy the core at once!
[14:23] Zorome (666)
    I-I know, I know.
[14:26] Zorome (666)
    For a klaxosaur,
    this thing wasn't a big deal.
[14:36] Ichigo (015)
    Miku?!
[14:40] Zorome (666)
    Hey, Miku? Miku!
[14:42] Futoshi (214)
    Damn you!
[14:53] Zorome (666)
    Hey, Miku! You okay?
[14:55] Zorome (666)
    Miku!
[14:56] Ichigo (015)
    You okay, Miku?
[15:03] Goro (056)
    There was another one?
[15:04] Futoshi (214)
    Uh, wait a second...
[15:11] Kokoro (556)
    How...
[15:13] Kokoro (556)
    How many of them are there?
[15:14] Ichigo (015)
    Let's get away from here for now!
[15:17] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah.
[15:18] Nana
    This is bad.
[15:19] Nana
    They've attracted several klaxosaurs
    by releasing their magma energy.
[15:23] Zero Two (002)
    See what I mean? You should've
    sent me right from the start.
[15:28] Nana
    You...
[15:30] Zero Two (002)
    Are you sure about this?
     They're all gonna die, you know.
[15:34] Hiro (016)
    Send Zero Two and me to help!
[15:37] Hachi
    That's not happening.
[15:40] Hachi
    You're not an official stamen. I can't
    give you permission to board a FRANXX.
[15:44] Zero Two (002)
    This is no time to stick to the rules.
[15:47] Zero Two (002)
    This plantation's squad is
    about to be wiped out again.
[15:52] Zero Two (002)
    Just send me out already.
[15:54] Zero Two (002)
    Let me ride with my darling.
[15:56] Nana
    You will not be allowed to sortie.
[16:01] Mitsuru (326)
    If Hiro can't do it, I guess I'll have to go.
[16:05] Ikuno (196)
    Mitsuru?
[16:06] Mitsuru (326)
    She's right. They're all going to
    die if we don't send Strelitzia.
[16:11] Mitsuru (326)
    And I'm the only stamen
    parasite here right now.
[16:14] Mitsuru (326)
    Then I have to go, right?
[16:16] Nana
    Strelitzia is no ordinary FRANXX.
     If you aren't used to its connect—
[16:20] Mitsuru (326)
    I'll be fine.
[16:22] Mitsuru (326)
    Even Hiro here could ride it,
[16:24] Mitsuru (326)
    so there's no way I couldn't.
[16:30] Nana
    Can you ride with Mitsuru, Zero Two?
[16:33] Zero Two (002)
    Uh, did you not hear me?
[16:36] Zero Two (002)
    I said I want to ride with my darling.
[16:41] Zero Two (002)
    You feel the same, right, darling?
[16:46] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[16:48] Hiro (016)
    Go with Mitsuru.
[16:52] Zero Two (002)
    You really want me
    riding with someone else?
[16:57] Hiro (016)
    Please.
[16:59] Zero Two (002)
    Hmm...
[17:01] Zero Two (002)
    If you say so.
[17:04] Zero Two (002)
    Got it.
[17:14] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't come crying to me when you
    regret the goody-two-shoes act later.
[17:17] Mitsuru (326)
    I'm going to prove that I can pilot
    Strelitzia better than you did.
[17:23] Hiro (016)
    There may have been a part of me
    that hoped she would refuse.
[17:35] Miku (390)
    Huh?
[17:37] Zorome (666)
    Mi...
[17:38] Zorome (666)
    Miku!
[17:40] Miku (390)
    Wh-What's gotten into you?
[17:45] Zorome (666)
    Miku came back to life!
[17:47] Kokoro (556)
    Thank goodness!
[17:48] Miku (390)
    I never died!
[17:50] Ichigo (015)
    Miku, are you o—
[17:53] Miku (390)
    I'm fine!
[17:54] Futoshi (214)
    But we won't last much longer.
[17:57] Hachi
    Strelitzia's coming to back you up.
    Can you hold out until it arrives?
[18:01] Futoshi (214)
    All right! If we can just
    hang in there until then...
[18:04] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah!
[18:05] Ichigo (015)
    Who is it? Who's piloting it?
[18:07] Goro (056)
    Hey, Ichigo! Focus!
[18:10] Goro (056)
    Why'd she suddenly get so heavy?
[18:12] Goro (056)
    Ichigo!
[18:18] Miku (390)
    H-Hey!
[18:22] Miku (390)
    What's gotten into you?
[18:24] Goro (056)
    We can't stay here!
[18:26] Goro (056)
    Run to the center!
[18:39] Goro (056)
    We have to hang on until Strelitzia gets here.
[18:44] Goro (056)
    What's wrong?
[18:47] Futoshi (214)
    We can't handle this many!
[18:51] Miku (390)
    Hey, Leader...
[18:53] Miku (390)
    What're we gonna do about this?
[19:01] Ichigo (015)
    If I hadn't let my mind drift
    to stupid thoughts back there,
[19:04] Ichigo (015)
    things might not have come to this.
[19:09] Ichigo (015)
    Strelitzia would've made it on time, too.
[19:14] Ichigo (015)
    I've failed as a leader.
[19:28] All
    Strelitzia!
[19:40] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro?
[19:42] Ichigo (015)
    Is it you, Hiro?
[19:43] Mitsuru (326)
    All of you get back.
[19:45] Zorome (666)
    Huh? That voice... Is that you, Mitsuru?
[19:48] Hachi
    All units, let Strelitzia handle
    things there and evacuate.
[19:52] Goro (056)
    Roger.
[19:54] Goro (056)
    Let's go, Ichigo.
[19:55] Ichigo (015)
    Y-Yeah...
[20:02] Mitsuru (326)
    This is amazing!
[20:03] Mitsuru (326)
    I feel the power! I feel
    like I can do anything!
[20:07] Mitsuru (326)
    I'm amazed changing partners
    could make such a difference.
[20:10] Mitsuru (326)
    I knew I wasn't the problem!
[20:14] Mitsuru (326)
    I'm just as good as Hiro!
[20:16] Mitsuru (326)
    Hiro!
[20:17] Mitsuru (326)
    Are you watching this?
    We're in perfect harmony!
[20:21] Mitsuru (326)
    I can pilot Strelitzia as I please,
    without losing consciousness!
[20:27] Mitsuru (326)
    If you want,
[20:28] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't mind becoming your official partner.
[20:32] Mitsuru (326)
    We'd make the greatest duo, don't you think?
[20:38] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, really?
[20:41] Zero Two (002)
    I guess I can try going
    all-out for a bit, then.
[20:45] Mitsuru (326)
    Huh?
[20:46] Hachi
    Strelitzia, that's enough.
    The other units have evacuated.
[20:50] Hachi
    Get out—
[20:50] Zero Two (002)
    I'm gonna have some
    more fun before I leave.
[20:53] Nana
    No! Return at once, Zero Two!
[20:56] Nana
    That girl...
[20:58] Nana
    Prepare to retrieve Strelitzia
    and its stamen at once.
[21:03] Ikuno (196)
    "Retrieve"?
[21:07] Kokoro (556)
    Strelitzia saved us all again, huh?
[21:10] Futoshi (214)
    I never expected Mitsuru
    to be the one piloting it.
[21:14] Zorome (666)
    I'm sorry. That was my bad.
[21:16] Miku (390)
    Don't be stupid. It doesn't
    matter whose fault it was.
[21:20] Miku (390)
    We're partners, right?
[21:22] Zorome (666)
    Mi... Miku!
[21:24] Zorome (666)
    You're actually a nice girl!
[21:25] Goro (056)
    What's wrong? You're not
    acting like yourself.
[21:25] Miku (390)
    Gross! Stop it!
[21:28] Ichigo (015)
    Sorry. I guess I got careless
    once I heard help was on its way.
[21:32] Ichigo (015)
    Get your act together!
[21:35] Futoshi (214)
    Oh, they're back.
[21:54] Hiro (016)
    The hand she held out and the smile
    she offered to me alone came at a price.
[22:03] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru?
[22:08] Hiro (016)
    The rumors were true.
[22:11] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru's wretched state was
    all the proof I needed.
[22:14] Zero Two (002)
    Yeah, this guy really isn't
    cut out to be my darling.
[22:18] Zero Two (002)
    My darling is you and you alone.
[22:23] Hiro (016)
    And I thought back to what she said before:
[22:26] Hiro (016)
    "I can get you out of here."

[00:02] Papa (APE Head)
    Klaxosaur activity has increased lately,
[00:06] Papa (APE Head)
    and large ones are reportedly showing
    up everywhere, which is unprecedented.

    The Nines are dealing with them for now,
[00:15] Sage B
    but they still have other tasks to complete.
[00:18] Sage C
    How long will we let Strelizia goof off?
[00:21] Sage C
    Now that the special specimen's
    aptitude has been ascertained,
[00:25] Sage C
    we have no reason to leave
    it there any longer.
[00:27] Sage E
    Indeed. It isn't wise to let her mix
    with tainted stamens any more.
[00:33] Sage A
    If we're recalling her,
    we'll have to ready a new stamen.
[00:38] Vice Chairman
    Not a problem.
[00:39] Vice Chairman
    There are plenty of parasites
    who want to team up with her.
[02:16] Mitsuru (326)
    A demon...
[02:17] Mitsuru (326)
    She's a demon. You'd have to
    be insane to ride with her.
[02:21] Mitsuru (326)
    She'll kill you.
[02:32] Ichigo (015)
    How was he?
[02:33] Futoshi (214)
    He hasn't touched his food at all.
[02:35] Futoshi (214)
    Maybe I should eat it so
    it doesn't go to waste.
[02:38] Zorome (666)
    He's been like that ever since we got back.
[02:47] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru...
[02:48] Hiro (016)
    What happened with Zero Two?
[02:51] Mitsuru (326)
    What... happened?
[02:54] Mitsuru (326)
    That girl tried to devour everything I have.
[02:58] Mitsuru (326)
    My blood, my flesh, and my soul...
[03:01] Mitsuru (326)
    All of it!
[03:02] Mitsuru (326)
    Everything was normal at first,
[03:05] Mitsuru (326)
    but after a point, sh-she was out to kill me.
[03:08] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru...
[03:09] Mitsuru (326)
    What's worse, she had a smile on her face!
[03:12] Mitsuru (326)
    She was smiling the entire time!
[03:15] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru!
[03:16] Futoshi (214)
    Calm down, man!
[03:17] Mitsuru (326)
    Ride with her again, and it'll happen to you.
[03:19] Mitsuru (326)
    You'll end up like me, too.
[03:21] Mitsuru (326)
    You're out of your mind if you
    think you're the sole exception!
[03:26] Futoshi (214)
    Cut it out, Mitsuru!
[03:30] Futoshi (214)
    Look, just lie down.
[03:34] Ichigo (015)
    You okay?
[03:35] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[03:41] Futoshi (214)
    Got it.
[03:43] Futoshi (214)
    There.
[03:44] Zorome (666)
    Whoa.
[03:49] Ichigo (015)
    Do you still want to ride with her?
[03:54] Zorome (666)
    Dude, if you keep eating that
    much, you'll get even fatter.
[03:55] Ichigo (015)
    I just can't bring myself to trust her.
[03:57] Futoshi (214)
    Don't call me fat!
[03:59] Zorome (666)
    Hey, fatty!
[04:00] Ichigo (015)
    Especially after seeing
    what happened to Mitsuru.
[04:02] Futoshi (214)
    Don't call me that!
[04:04] Futoshi (214)
    Wait up!
[04:05] Ichigo (015)
    Assuming the partner-killing rumor is true,
[04:08] Ichigo (015)
    you could die if you ride
    with her two more times.
[04:13] Hiro (016)
    Even so, I still have a chance to be
    of use if I'm riding with Zero Two.
[04:23] Ichigo (015)
    You've made up your mind, huh?
[04:25] Ichigo (015)
    Fine. I won't stop you again, then.
[04:29] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo?
[04:30] Ichigo (015)
    As leader, I have to steel myself, too.
[04:43] Hiro (016)
    Steel yourself, huh?
[04:46] Hachi
    Yes, klaxosaurs must be eliminated.
[04:49] Hachi
    But that doesn't mean you get free rein.
[04:53] Nana
    You didn't need to use that much
    power to deal with those klaxosaurs.
[04:58] Nana
    But because you did, we nearly
    lost one of our squad.
[05:02] Nana
    Are you listening to me?
[05:03] Zero Two (002)
    I wanna leave. I feel like
    I'm gonna suffocate in here.
[05:07] Nana
    Why, you...
[05:08] Zero Two (002)
    As long as I have my darling,
    I don't care about this place.
[05:11] Zero Two (002)
    And the rest are sure to die soon, anyway.
[05:14] Nana
    Zero Two,
[05:15] Nana
    those kids are your fellow FRANXX pilots,
    even if you do belong to different units.
[05:20] Zero Two (002)
    Fellow pilots? Are you serious?
[05:23] Zero Two (002)
    Those weaklings are only a nuisance,
    no matter how many there are.
[05:26] Hachi
    They may be an irregular squad,
[05:29] Hachi
    but they're parasites who were carefully
    chosen for their high aptitude.
[05:32] Zero Two (002)
    Really? Those guys?
[05:35] Hachi
    You only feel that way 
    because you are special.
[05:39] Zero Two (002)
    Are you talking about how I'm not human?
[05:43] Hachi
    I'm talking about your abilities
    and nothing else.
[05:46] Hachi
    Also, it's highly unlikely that 016 will
    be given permission to pilot Strelizia.
[05:49] Zero Two (002)
    What do you mean?
[05:51] Nana
    We received word from HQ earlier.
[05:54] Nana
    You'll be returning to the front lines.
[06:02] Ichigo (015)
    Assuming the partner-killing rumor is true,
[06:04] Ichigo (015)
    you could die if you ride
    with her two more times.
[06:09] Mitsuru (326)
    ...but after a point,
    sh-she was out to kill me.
[06:12] Mitsuru (326)
    What's worse, she had a smile on her face!
[06:14] Mitsuru (326)
    She was smiling the entire time!
[06:16] Hiro (016)
    Damn it!
[06:19] Zorome (666)
    Hiro's training by himself again?
[06:21] Zorome (666)
    If you leave him alone, he runs forever.
[06:24] Futoshi (214)
    He's surprisingly hardworking, isn't he?
[06:27] Futoshi (214)
    That's not how I imagined he'd be.
[06:29] Miku (390)
    Wait, has he still not given
    up on riding with that girl?
[06:33] Goro (056)
    Well, that is presently the
    only way he can stay here.
[06:38] Zorome (666)
    But doesn't that mean he'll
    have to leave if Zero Two does?
[06:43] Goro (056)
    That would be the natural assumption.
[06:48] Kokoro (556)
    Maybe he'd be better off going with her.
[06:53] Kokoro (556)
    It'd be awful if he had
    to remain alone forever.
[06:55] Miku (390)
    Look, I don't know if you forgot or what,
    but she has klaxosaur blood.
[07:01] Miku (390)
    She's not human.
[07:03] Miku (390)
    Just look at what happened to Mitsuru.
[07:04] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro's well aware of that.
    He wants to ride with her anyway.
[07:09] Goro (056)
    Ichigo?
[07:11] Ichigo (015)
    And he isn't the only one
    staring death in the face.
[07:14] Ichigo (015)
    If things don't change, we could find
    ourselves dead at any time, too.
[07:22] Ichigo (015)
    Unless we can defeat klaxosaurs
    without Strelizia,
[07:24] Ichigo (015)
    we won't survive for long.
[07:27] Ichigo (015)
    We can't afford to mess up again.
[07:30] Miku (390)
    You messed up just as bad.
[07:33] Ichigo (015)
    That's right. But it won't happen again.
[07:36] Ichigo (015)
    I need your help to ensure it doesn't.
[07:38] Ichigo (015)
    We're a team, aren't we?
[07:43] Futoshi (214)
    A team, huh?
[07:45] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah, we are.
[07:46] Miku (390)
    Y-You don't have to tell me.
[07:49] Goro (056)
    How very like a leader.
[07:51] Zorome (666)
    Well, it's high time we showed
    Papa and them what we're made of.
[07:55] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah.
[07:56] Futoshi (214)
    And if we keep it up,
    we could make it big, too!
[07:59] Ichigo (015)
    We need you too, Ikuno.
[07:59] Zorome (666)
    Right on!
[08:00] Zorome (666)
    Let's do this!
[08:01] Ichigo (015)
    Mitsuru probably knows he
    can't mess up again, either.
[08:05] Ichigo (015)
    Back him up as his partner.
[08:10] Ikuno (196)
    Okay.
[08:11] Announcer
    To prepare for the kissing
    with Plantation 26,
[08:15] Announcer
    Plantation 13 will switch to mobile setup.
[08:18] ---
    I repeat:
[08:20] ---
    To prepare for the kissing
    with Plantation 26,
[08:24] ---
    Plantation 13 will switch to mobile setup.
[08:48] Hiro (016)
    Why am I hiding from her?
SIGN    Boys Bathing
[08:57] Hiro (016)
    Two more times...
[09:04] Hiro (016)
    I...
[09:05] Zero Two (002)
    There you are.
[09:09] Hiro (016)
    W-Wait, why are you here?
[09:16] Hiro (016)
    G-Give me some space here!
[09:18] Zero Two (002)
    Hey, darling.
[09:20] Zero Two (002)
    Run away with me.
[09:23] Zero Two (002)
    Forget about those weaklings.
[09:25] Zero Two (002)
    As long as you're with me,
    nothing else matters.
[09:28] Zero Two (002)
    You're the only one who can be my partner.
[09:36] Zero Two (002)
    Or are you just like everyone else?
[09:40] Zero Two (002)
    Do you think I'm a monster, too?
[09:45] Hiro (016)
    Klaxosaur?!
[09:46] Soldier A
    We've detected one worm-type klaxosaur.
    It's heading toward Plantation 13.
[09:50] Soldier A
    It likely reacted to the energy
    emitted by the mobile kissing setup.
[09:54] Mitsuru (326)
    Shit...
[09:56] Mitsuru (326)
    I can... I can...
[09:59] Ikuno (196)
    Can you move?
[10:02] Mitsuru (326)
    This... is nothing.
[10:06] Ikuno (196)
    Grab on to me.
[10:07] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't need to.
[10:15] Ikuno (196)
    You're such an awkward boy.
[10:17] Hachi
    We haven't identified the klaxosaur's class.
[10:19] Hachi
    We've only detected one as of now,
    but there may be more in hiding.
[10:24] Hachi
    Be careful.
[10:25] All
    Roger that!
[10:26] Hachi
    All FRANXX, commence connecting!
[10:28] Mitsuru (326)
    I sure hope you can connect this time.
[10:31] Ikuno (196)
    I get it. I'll be fine now.
[10:53] Ichigo (015)
    We'll hold it off here.
[11:01] Hiro (016)
    Is that the only enemy?
[11:03] Nana
    For now, yes.
[11:05] Nana
    Changing into your suits won't help.
    We're not deploying Strelizia.
[11:09] Zero Two (002)
    Hey, I didn't say anything.
[11:33] Ichigo (015)
    Let's go!
[11:33] Ichigo (015)
    One, two...
[11:44] Ikuno (196)
    Did we get it?
[11:45] Goro (056)
    No, I don't think so.
    We probably missed the core.
[11:49] Miku (390)
    We can't kill it unless we find its core.
[11:52] Miku (390)
    Let's get—
[11:54] Ikuno (196)
    There was another one?
[11:55] Kokoro (556)
    We have to save them!
[12:01] Ichigo (015)
    Damn...
[12:03] Ichigo (015)
    Just wait!
[12:05] Ikuno (196)
    From below?
[12:10] Zero Two (002)
    See? We really should
    go too, don't you think?
[12:14] Nana
    Out of the question.
[12:15] Zero Two (002)
    Tch. Spoilsport.
[12:18] Zero Two (002)
    By the way, who just landed
    in that transport plane?
[12:30] APE Soldier
    Code 002. You're coming with us.
[12:32] Nana
    Your escorts are here. Do as they say.
[12:37] Nana
    Zero Two, you will return to the front lines.
[12:40] Nana
    By yourself, obviously.
[12:42] Hiro (016)
    Wait, what do you—
[12:44] APE Soldier A
    Hurry. We want to leave while the FRANXX
    are keeping the klaxosaur occupied.
[12:50] Zero Two (002)
    Don't touch me!
[12:54] APE Soldier B
    Hey!
[12:59] Hiro (016)
    What's all this about, Zero Two?
[13:03] Zero Two (002)
    Darling, looks like time's up.
[13:10] Zero Two (002)
    I felt like things could work out with you, too.
[13:16] Zero Two (002)
    I wanted to be with you.
[13:19] Zero Two (002)
    But this is goodbye.
[13:22] Ichigo (015)
    Ow...
[13:26] Ichigo (015)
    Zero Two?
[13:31] Zero Two (002)
    Bye-bye.
[13:34] APE Soldier
    Come on.
[13:44] Nana
    Hiro...
[13:47] Nana
    This was an order from Papa and the rest.
[13:51] Hiro (016)
    Is it true that Zero Two is a partner killer?
[13:56] Nana
    She's a special pistil who must keep
    fighting on the front lines for them.
[14:04] Nana
    That will also take its toll on the
    stamen who becomes her partner.
[14:10] ---
    Keep this in mind. She's not
    like you normal children.
[14:15] Hiro (016)
    You mean she isn't human?
[14:18] Nana
    Simply put, yes.
[14:22] Hiro (016)
    Is that really how it is?
[14:24] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    You weren't frightened by my horns.
[14:27] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Do you think I'm a monster, too?
[14:30] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    I wanted to be with you.
[14:32] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Bye-bye.
[14:37] Hiro (016)
    No! Zero Two is just like us!
[14:43] Nana
    Stop, Hiro!
[14:49] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[14:52] APE Soldier
    What is it?
[14:54] Zero Two (002)
    Nothing.
[15:01] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[15:09] Hiro (016)
    Wait up, Zero Two!
[15:12] Hiro (016)
    Damn it!
[15:14] Hiro (016)
    Hear me out! I...
[15:16] Hiro (016)
    I was afraid of riding with you.
[15:20] Hiro (016)
    I'm probably still afraid of it.
[15:22] Hiro (016)
    But that's not because you aren't human.
[15:26] Hiro (016)
    It's because I lacked the resolve!
[15:29] Hiro (016)
    When we first met, I couldn't
    take my eyes off you.
[15:33] Hiro (016)
    You were confident, held your head high,
[15:36] Hiro (016)
    and were ready to fight the klaxosaurs even
    when hurt! And I found that beautiful!
[15:41] Hiro (016)
    I'd been moping around,
[15:43] Hiro (016)
    but I felt like I could fly with you.
[15:48] Hiro (016)
    I realized that I never really
    cared about riding the FRANXX.
[15:54] Hiro (016)
    I wanted to ride with you!
[15:56] Hiro (016)
    So please don't go, Zero Two!
[16:03] APE Soldier
    Hey, keep moving.
[16:05] Zero Two (002)
    How can I leave after that?
[16:24] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[16:27] Zero Two (002)
    Nobody's ever said such embarrassing
    things to me before.
[16:30] Hiro (016)
    I-It's a first for me, too.
[16:34] Zero Two (002)
    You wanna ride me, huh?
[16:38] Hiro (016)
    I'll do it.
[16:40] Zero Two (002)
    Let me hear it one more time.
[16:44] Hiro (016)
    Let me...
[16:45] Hiro (016)
    Let me ride in Strelizia again!
[16:51] Zero Two (002)
    Now that's my darling!
[16:56] Zero Two (002)
    Run for it!
[16:58] APE Soldier
    Those two got through the gates!
[17:13] APE Soldier
    Hold it!
[17:21] Nana
    Both of you, get out of there right now!
[17:24] Zero Two (002)
    I'm going out with my darling.
[17:26] Nana
    You are not getting permis—
[17:30] Zero Two (002)
    What's up, darling?
[17:32] Hiro (016)
    Will I be really be able to pilot?
[17:34] Zero Two (002)
    Of course you can do this. We can do this.
[17:40] Zero Two (002)
    Ready?
[17:44] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[17:46] Hiro (016)
    It'll be all right.
[17:47] Hiro (016)
    If I'm with Zero Two, I can do this!
[18:03] Zero Two (002)
    Let's fly, darling!
[18:12] Hiro (016)
    I did it...
[18:14] Hiro (016)
    I'm piloting a FRANXX!
[18:17] Zero Two (002)
    That's right. This is what you're capable of.
[18:20] Hiro (016)
    I feel myself going deeper inside you.
[18:24] Hiro (016)
    I can't tell where I end and
    where you begin anymore.
[18:27] Hiro (016)
    But I love it!
[18:29] Zero Two (002)
    I'm feeling it, too.
[18:32] Zero Two (002)
    We're a perfect fit, huh?
[18:34] Zero Two (002)
    But there's more to come.
[18:38] Ichigo (015)
    Shit!
[18:47] Ichigo (015)
    Strelizia?!
[18:52] Goro (056)
    Is that Hiro?
[18:54] Futoshi (214)
    Are you serious?
[18:55] Hiro (016)
    Let me handle this.
[18:57] Ichigo (015)
    No! We can't afford to rely
    on Strelizia this time!
[19:00] Hiro (016)
    Even I'm...
[19:01] Hiro (016)
    I'm part of the team, too.
[19:07] Ichigo (015)
    All right, Hiro.
[19:09] Ichigo (015)
    You deal with that.
[19:11] Ichigo (015)
    We're going to focus on this one.
[19:24] Zero Two (002)
    That didn't feel right.
[19:25] Hiro (016)
    Where's the core?
[19:32] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, no, you don't!
[19:53] Hiro (016)
    What the...
[19:55] Zorome (666)
    No way... It was all part of one klaxosaur?
[19:58] Futoshi (214)
    If it's that long, it won't
    be easy to look for the core!
[20:02] Goro (056)
    But we'll still have to find it!
[20:09] Miku (390)
    God! Somebody stop this thing!
[20:12] Ichigo (015)
    I'll do it.
[20:22] Ichigo (015)
    Come on, guys!
[20:24] Both
    Yeah!
[20:29] Zorome (666)
    Okay, we pinned it down,
[20:31] Zorome (666)
    but now what?!
[20:41] Mitsuru (326)
    Not on my watch!
[20:43] Ichigo (015)
    H-Hiro!
[20:45] Ichigo (015)
    We need you!
[20:48] Hiro (016)
    Think we can do this, Zero Two?
[20:50] Zero Two (002)
    Easy!
[20:57] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[21:34] Hachi
    Target neutralized.
    All units, return to base.
[21:38] Nana
    I can't believe she ignored Papa's orders.
[21:40] Nana
    Was she planning on this all along?
[21:44] Hachi
    But this changes everything.
[21:48] Hachi
    The numbers conclusively prove
    Code 016's compatibility with Strelizia.
[21:53] Hachi
    How will Papa and the others react to this?
[22:05] Hiro (016)
    I'd always dreamed of the day I could
    take flight to the skies above.
[22:10] Hiro (016)
    And for a while, I'd given
    up on it ever coming true.
[22:15] Hiro (016)
    But now, I may have finally found
    a pair of wings to call my own.
[22:19] Hiro (016)
    Even if they're double-edged wings
    that will slowly destroy me,
[22:25] Hiro (016)
    I'll be able to fly one more time.

SIGN    Plantation #13: "Cerasus"
[00:02] Announcer
    Plantation 13 will now carry out
    the kissing with Plantation 26.
[00:08] Hiro (016)
    When we first met, Zero Two told me,
    "A kiss is a very special thing."
[00:09] Announcer
    I repeat:
[00:12] Announcer
    Plantation 13 will now carry out
    the kissing with Plantation 26.
[00:15] Hiro (016)
    Do the adults kiss?
[00:18] Hiro (016)
    If so,
[00:19] Hiro (016)
    who was it that likened plantations
    making contact to a kiss?
[00:26] Zorome (666)
    Say, what is "kissing," anyway?
[00:29] Miku (390)
    You were watching all this time
    without knowing a thing?
[00:32] Zorome (666)
    Shut up, dumbass! Do you know all about it?
[00:36] Miku (390)
    I-It's when two plantations
    are stuck together, right?
[00:40] Kokoro (556)
    That's not all.
[00:41] Ikuno (196)
    It's a transfer of magma fuel reserves
    from one plantation to another
[00:45] Ikuno (196)
    through that big pipe.
[00:46] Mitsuru (326)
    That fuel is essential for both
    the adults and us to live.
[00:50] Mitsuru (326)
    FRANXX can't be operated without it, either.
[00:52] Zorome (666)
    So we can relax now, right?
[00:54] Goro (056)
    Not exactly. This is a large-scale
    transfer of magma energy.
[00:58] Goro (056)
    I've heard it'll attract a
    huge number of klaxosaurs.
[01:01] Zorome (666)
    Are you serious?
[01:02] Futoshi (214)
    A huge number, huh?
[01:05] Hiro (016)
    Don't worry.
[01:08] Hiro (016)
    If we work together, we'll be fine.
    We even have Strelizia now.
[01:12] Goro (056)
    Hiro...
[01:14] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah.
[01:15] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro's right.
[01:20] Hiro (016)
    A grand ceremony was conducted
    with the utmost solemnity.
[01:24] Hiro (016)
    The children of Plantation 26's FRANXX
    squad were also in attendance,
[01:29] Hiro (016)
    and they seemed a lot more
    calm and composed than us.
[01:33] Plantation #26 Head
    Boys and girls!
[01:34] Plantation #26 Head
    The dreadful klaxosaurs are sure to attack
    the magma reserves in great numbers.
[01:39] Plantation #26 Head
    The fate of these two plantations rests
    squarely on your shoulders, parasites.
[01:43] Plantation #26 Head
    You are strong!
[01:45] Plantation #26 Head
    We believe that you will
    surely bring us victory!
[01:49] Hiro (016)
    Being treated like VIPs gave
    our morale a big boost.
[01:55] Hiro (016)
    But at the same time,
[01:56] Hiro (016)
    we clearly sensed the coming of a fiercer
    battle than we had ever experienced before.
[03:42] Goro (056)
    Hey, Hiro. Wake up.
[03:48] Goro (056)
    It's morning. Rise and shine.
[03:56] Goro (056)
    Are you okay?
[03:59] Goro (056)
    Your body was burning up like crazy.
[04:02] Ichigo (015)
    I'm perfectly fine. If anything,
    I feel really light on my feet.
[04:07] Goro (056)
    You're not lying, are you?
[04:08] Ichigo (015)
    Of course not.
[04:09] Ichigo (015)
    I actually want to go train right now.
[04:14] Goro (056)
    Okay, then.
[04:15] Kokoro (556)
    Yesterday's ceremony was something else, huh?
[04:18] Kokoro (556)
    I was so excited, I had trouble
    getting to sleep last night.
[04:21] Miku (390)
    Plantation 26's squad leader
    seemed like a nice guy.
[04:24] Kokoro (556)
    Is he the kind of guy
    you'd like to ride with?
[04:27] Miku (390)
    Better him than the boys we're stuck with.
[04:29] Miku (390)
    Don't you agree?
[04:30] Ikuno (196)
    No. I don't really care.
[04:32] Miku (390)
    Wow, what a wet blanket.
[04:34] Zorome (666)
    It gives you a real lift when the
    adults have high hopes for you, huh?
[04:37] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah. It shows they really need us.
[04:40] Zorome (666)
    "Boys and girls! You are strong!
[04:43] Zorome (666)
    We believe that you will
    surely bring us victory!"
[04:47] Zorome (666)
    And I'll be the one who
    leads us to that victory!
[04:51] Ichigo (015)
    You mean Hiro will.
[04:56] Kokoro (556)
    Oh, yeah. You really shone
    in the previous battle.
[05:00] Futoshi (214)
    But how are you feeling? All good?
[05:03] Hiro (016)
    Well, yeah. Everything's fine.
[05:06] Futoshi (214)
    Awesome!
[05:07] Miku (390)
    Looks like the "three times and you die"
    rumor was all nonsense, then.
[05:11] Ikuno (196)
    That, or he's extremely compatible with her.
[05:14] Hiro (016)
    Thanks.
[05:15] Hiro (016)
    But we wouldn't have won without you guys.
[05:18] Hiro (016)
    I had a hard time keeping up with everything
    happening, but it all felt just right.
[05:22] Hiro (016)
    If I can keep riding, I hope you'll let
    me fight with you as part of the team.
[05:26] Zorome (666)
    Don't get cocky, man.
[05:29] Zorome (666)
    All you did was get through the one time.
[05:31] Goro (056)
    Do you really have to be such a spoilsport?
[05:33] Hiro (016)
    Zorome...
[05:34] Zorome (666)
    Huh?
[05:35] Hiro (016)
    I'll do my best not to be a burden.
[05:39] Hiro (016)
    Let's keep fighting together.
[05:40] Zorome (666)
    O-Okay...
[05:42] Zorome (666)
    Jeez, fine. Keep it up, all right?
[05:45] Miku (390)
    Big words, little man.
[05:47] Zorome (666)
    Oh, shut up! I just, uh...
[05:50] Zorome (666)
    You know, as the team's ace pilot, I'm trying to...
[05:54] Miku (390)
    Okay, okay.
[05:56] Futoshi (214)
    Breakfast time!
[05:57] Futoshi (214)
    Breakfast, breakfast...
[05:58] Ichigo (015)
    Hang on, Hiro.
[06:04] Ichigo (015)
    Your collar was bent out of shape.
[06:07] Ichigo (015)
    When will you learn to take
    better care of these things?
[06:12] Ichigo (015)
    By the way, I was amazed you realized
    what I was going for in the last battle.
[06:16] Hiro (016)
    Well, I have known you forever.
[06:19] Ichigo (015)
    I knew you'd work something out.
[06:22] Hiro (016)
    I'm glad you trust me so much.
[06:24] Ichigo (015)
    I was going to yell at you
    if you'd messed up, though.
[06:29] Hiro (016)
    Wow, hardass.
[06:30] Ichigo (015)
    Anyway, back then...
[06:33] Zero Two (002)
    Morning, darling!
[06:34] Hiro (016)
    M-Morning.
[06:37] Zero Two (002)
    This way.
[06:39] Hiro (016)
    Uh, wait...
[06:41] Zorome (666)
    You're a girl! Why're you coming to sit here?
[06:43] Futoshi (214)
    And that's my seat...
[06:45] Zorome (666)
    Y-Yeah! Get back to your table!
[06:46] Ichigo (015)
    Pipe down.
[06:48] Ichigo (015)
    Take your seats already. It's time to pray.
[06:50] Futoshi (214)
    But... my seat...
[06:53] Kokoro (556)
    Want to sit over here, then?
[06:55] Futoshi (214)
    Can I really?
[06:58] Ichigo (015)
    May Papa never thirst.
[07:00] Ichigo (015)
    May Papa's heart be filled
    with peace for eternity.
[07:04] Ichigo (015)
    Let's eat.
[07:05] All
    Let's eat.
[07:07] Zero Two (002)
    Here, darling.
[07:09] Zero Two (002)
    Say, "Ahh."
[07:16] Zero Two (002)
    Like it?
[07:16] Hiro (016)
    Y-Yeah, it's good.
[07:18] Zero Two (002)
    You can eat my share.
[07:20] Zorome (666)
    Lucky him. I wanna try
    something like that, too.
[07:23] Goro (056)
    Why not ask your partner, then?
[07:26] Zorome (666)
    What? I'd rather ask a cute girl, like Kokoro.
[07:31] Kokoro (556)
    We see, we do.
[07:32] Miku (390)
    What's with you? So easily influenced.
[07:37] Zero Two (002)
    One more time. Say, "Ahh."
[07:44] Hiro (016)
    Over here,
[07:45] Hiro (016)
    we have fixed times for waking up,
    bathing, and going to sleep. All of it.
[07:50] Hiro (016)
    Everything's laid out for us, even the
    clothes we wear and the food we eat.
[07:56] Hiro (016)
    This entire forest was built to fine-tune
    the parasites' numbers, apparently.
[08:01] Zero Two (002)
    Is that why there's a ceiling, too?
[08:04] Hiro (016)
    Probably.
[08:05] Hiro (016)
    But even with the ceiling, it does rain here.
[08:08] Zero Two (002)
    "Rain"?
[08:09] Hiro (016)
    Yeah. Water comes pouring
    down from the ceiling.
[08:12] Zero Two (002)
    Wow, I wanna see that! Do it for me!
[08:16] Hiro (016)
    I can't. Papa and the others
    decide when it happens.
[08:19] Zero Two (002)
    I wanna see it right now.
[08:21] Zero Two (002)
    Do it.
[08:23] Hiro (016)
    But...
[08:31] Hiro (016)
    By the way, why'd you suddenly
    ask me to show you around?
[08:36] Zero Two (002)
    Why? Because...
[08:38] Zero Two (002)
    I'm going to live here, too.
[08:43] Zorome (666)
    Wh-What's a girl doing here?
[08:46] Zorome (666)
    Stay out of the boys' wing!
[08:47] Hiro (016)
    S-Sorry! We'll be right out!
[08:50] Hiro (016)
    Let's go, Zero Two!
[08:57] Zorome (666)
    The heck?
[08:58] Zorome (666)
    Look at them, holding hands and all.
[09:01] Nana
    Zero Two is going to remain here for a while.
[09:05] Nana
    Papa gave her permission.
[09:07] Ichigo (015)
    Does that mean Hiro's an
    official parasite now?
[09:09] Nana
    That's still under consideration,
    but I'm assuming it'll happen.
[09:14] Nana
    Ichigo.
[09:15] Nana
    Make Zero Two feel at home.
[09:18] Goro (056)
    What do you think?
[09:20] Ichigo (015)
    About what?
[09:21] Goro (056)
    How Hiro was acting today.
[09:23] Ichigo (015)
    Well, it's been a long time since
    I saw him smile so much.
[09:26] Goro (056)
    Yeah. But what if he was forcing
    himself to be all cheery?
[09:32] Ichigo (015)
    Did he say that?
[09:33] Goro (056)
    Nah. You know he wouldn't
    tell us straight up.
[09:37] Goro (056)
    Look, you could talk to him—
[09:39] Ichigo (015)
    Goro.
[09:44] Ichigo (015)
    Worrying about Hiro is fine, but we've also got ourselves to worry about.
[09:49] Goro (056)
    What's that supposed to mean?
[09:50] Ichigo (015)
    The upcoming battle will be fiercer
    than any we've experienced.
[09:55] Ichigo (015)
    You're my partner. If you're not focused,
    I can't do my best, either.
[10:01] Mitsuru (326)
    Why me, and not him?
[10:06] Mitsuru (326)
    What's the difference between Hiro and me?
[10:11] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru?
[10:13] Mitsuru (326)
    What is it?
[10:14] Kokoro (556)
    Oh, uh, I saw you walking in here.
[10:19] Kokoro (556)
    Are you okay? You've been looking
    uncomfortable for a while.
[10:22] Mitsuru (326)
    I'm fine.
[10:25] Kokoro (556)
    Is there anything I can do for you?
[10:28] Kokoro (556)
    You never lean on others—
[10:30] Mitsuru (326)
    Are you pitying me?
[10:33] Kokoro (556)
    I didn't mean to...
[10:35] Mitsuru (326)
    Leave me alone.
[10:40] Ichigo (015)
    This room is yours to use.
[10:42] Zero Two (002)
    I'd rather have been with my darling.
[10:45] Ichigo (015)
    You're going to live here for a while, right?
[10:47] Ichigo (015)
    Then you'll have to follow our rules.
[10:49] Ichigo (015)
    Don't expect any special treatment.
[10:52] Ichigo (015)
    Also, take care of Hiro.
[10:55] Zero Two (002)
    I don't need you to tell me that.
[10:57] Zero Two (002)
    My darling belongs to me.
[11:02] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro doesn't belong to anyone.
[11:05] Zero Two (002)
    You're pretty bossy, huh?
[11:08] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks for the compliment.
[11:35] Zorome (666)
    Hey, Goro!
[11:40] Code:090
    Your FRANXX all have unique designs.
[11:44] Goro (056)
    What are you talking about?
[11:46] Ikuno (196)
    We thought that was standard.
[11:48] Code:090
    Of course not. Our FRANXX have similar
    bodies and equipment all around.
[11:52] Code:090
    That makes it easier to fight as a team.
[11:55] Futoshi (214)
    Huh...
[11:56] Code:090
    I've been told you're a
    hastily-assembled test team.
[12:00] Code:090
    Is this your first taste of kissing?
[12:02] Goro (056)
    Yeah.
[12:03] ---
    I see.
[12:04] Code:090
    We are vastly more experienced.
[12:07] Code:090
    If there's anything you don't
    understand, just ask.
[12:09] Zorome (666)
    Me!
[12:10] Zorome (666)
    Me, me, me! I've got a question!
[12:13] Zorome (666)
    Have any children from your
    squad become adults?
[12:18] Code:090
    "Become adults"?
[12:20] Vice Chairman
    He probably doesn't know.
[12:22] Code:090
    Oh, that's what you mean.
[12:24] Code:090
    Not from our squad, no.
[12:26] Zorome (666)
    Really? Have you at least
    heard any rumors about it?
[12:30] Code:090
    No, sorry.
[12:32] Zorome (666)
    What the heck?
[12:35] Futoshi (214)
    You really care about that, huh, Zorome?
[12:37] Zorome (666)
    I'm not a simpleton like you, Futoshi!
[12:39] Code:090
    How peculiar.
[12:41] Code:090
    I mean, your nicknames.
[12:42] Code:090
    Code 016 was the one who started
    coming up with them, I think?
[12:46] Goro (056)
    You've heard of Hiro?
[12:49] Code:090
    Yeah. He's famous among us children.
[12:53] Code:090
    You guys are really unusual.
[12:55] Code:090
    Your FRANXX designs are all over the place,
[12:57] Code:090
    and you refer to each other
    by nicknames instead of codes.
[13:00] Code:090
    What's the point of that?
[13:09] Goro (056)
    H...
[13:09] Goro (056)
    Hiro!
[13:15] Nana
    What is with these abnormal
    yellow blood cell counts?
[13:19] Nana
    I'm amazed he's even alive.
[13:21] Hachi
    Yeah. It's a polar opposite reaction to the
    other parasites that rode with Zero Two.
[13:27] Nana
    It'd be dangerous to let him ride with her
    again when we don't know the cause.
[13:30] Hachi
    But we need Strelizia in the upcoming battle.
[13:36] Nana
    The next time is the third.
[13:38] Goro (056)
    Hey, Hiro!
[13:39] Goro (056)
    What's wrong?
[13:41] Hiro (016)
    Nothing...
[13:43] Goro (056)
    Nothing, my ass!
[13:45] Goro (056)
    Are you hurt?
[13:51] Goro (056)
    How long has that been there?
    Since you rode with Zero Two?
[13:57] Goro (056)
    Tch...
[14:00] Goro (056)
    Hey!
[14:07] Goro (056)
    Don't pilot Strelizia again.
[14:09] Hiro (016)
    That's for me to decide.
[14:11] Goro (056)
    You know the next time
    could kill you, don't you?!
[14:15] Hiro (016)
    Goro... I feel really alive right now.
[14:21] Hiro (016)
    I haven't felt this way in a long time.
[14:24] Hiro (016)
    I want to give it my all
    in the upcoming mission.
[14:28] Hiro (016)
    I don't want things to end in failure.
[14:30] Hiro (016)
    So...
[14:31] Goro (056)
    You want me to turn a blind eye?
[14:33] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[14:34] Goro (056)
    Are you going to keep this from everyone?
[14:37] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[14:38] Goro (056)
    Even Ichigo?
[14:39] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[14:42] Goro (056)
    Look, you—
[14:46] Hiro (016)
    Sorry.
[14:51] Goro (056)
    You... You're...
[14:54] Goro (056)
    a complete and utter fool!
[14:57] Hachi
    We detected klaxosaurs an hour ago,
    at a distance of approximately 3,000.
[15:02] Hachi
    They number anywhere from 100 to 150.
[15:05] Futoshi (214)
    O-One hundred and fifty?!
[15:06] Hachi
    That number is expected to go even higher.
[15:09] Hachi
    Their estimated time of arrival
    is around 33 hours from now.
[15:13] Hachi
    No matter how we rush, we can't complete
    the kissing process before they get here.
[15:17] Hachi
    So we're going to place a line of defense
    here, with Squad 26 at the vanguard.
[15:23] Hachi
    Squad 13 will stand by in the rear as backup.
[15:26] Zorome (666)
    What? Backup?
[15:28] Code:090
    This will be a chaotic dogfight.
[15:31] Code:090
    Our squad can link up better
    if we go at it by ourselves.
[15:33] Zorome (666)
    Wha...
[15:34] Miku (390)
    Did he just call us dead weight?
[15:38] Hachi
    Defending the main pipe linking the two
    plantations together takes top priority.
[15:43] Hachi
    So I decided to deploy a FRANXX
    that's capable of solo combat here.
[15:47] Code:090
    Do we really have such a FRANXX?
[15:51] Hachi
    Strelizia will be placed here.
[15:56] Code:090
    Strelizia?
[15:57] Code:090
    What are you...
[16:00] Nana
    Sorry we're late.
[16:03] Code:090
    Code 002!
[16:05] Hachi
    Did we receive Papa's permission?
[16:06] Nana
    Yes, we are a go.
[16:08] Nana
    Hiro will pilot Strelizia as Zero Two's partner.
[16:12] Hachi
    This is the best course of action right now.
[16:14] Hiro (016)
    Got it.
[16:15] Code:090
    Wait a second.
[16:16] Code:090
    We can't fight alongside Strelizia.
[16:20] Hachi
    The plan is final.
[16:22] Code:090
    But...
[16:22] Code:090
    That girl doesn't care about her allies!
[16:25] Code:090
    We can't trust her to have our backs!
[16:28] Code:090
    Code 002, you know what I mean.
[16:32] Zero Two (002)
    What are you talking about?
[16:33] Code:090
    The joint operation two years ago!
[16:35] Code:090
    Your reckless fighting style got
    us isolated on the battlefield,
[16:40] Code:090
    and I lost my partner!
[16:47] Zero Two (002)
    Huh... Doesn't ring a bell.
[16:50] Zero Two (002)
    Weaklings die. Big deal.
[16:58] Hiro (016)
    I'll keep Zero Two from going out of control.
[17:01] Hiro (016)
    I'm Strelizia's stamen.
[17:05] Zorome (666)
    What the hell, man?
     Treating us like dead weight...
[17:09] Mitsuru (326)
    It's the truth. We are a makeshift team.
[17:12] Ikuno (196)
    But it still pisses you off, doesn't it?
[17:15] Goro (056)
    I agree with them.
[17:19] Goro (056)
    Strelizia shouldn't be part of the mission—
[17:22] Hiro (016)
    I've got this.
[17:23] Hiro (016)
    Let's show them what we're made of!
[17:26] Hiro (016)
    You guys don't want to take
    their insults lying down, right?
[17:28] Zorome (666)
    Y-Yeah...
[17:30] Zorome (666)
    He's right, Goro. Don't go all timid on us now.
[17:36] Goro (056)
    What do you think, Ichigo?
[17:39] Ichigo (015)
    We need Strelizia.
[18:17] Goro (056)
    Where are they going?
[18:18] Ichigo (015)
    I'm not going to say anything
    about your past with Squad 26.
[18:22] Ichigo (015)
    But I want you to stay in
    line during the mission.
[18:26] Ichigo (015)
    I'm the leader, and you
    will follow my orders.
[18:29] Zero Two (002)
    Ordering me around again?
[18:31] Zero Two (002)
    You really are bossy.
[18:33] Ichigo (015)
    W-Wait!
[18:34] Ichigo (015)
    I'm not done—
[18:38] Zero Two (002)
    What?
[18:40] Ichigo (015)
    Please don't push Hiro too hard.
[18:43] Zero Two (002)
    Darling was the one who said
    he wanted to ride with me.
[18:46] Ichigo (015)
    Yes, I know.
[18:48] Ichigo (015)
    But try not to put a heavy
    burden on him, at least.
[18:53] Zero Two (002)
    Do you want me to give him to you?
[18:55] Zero Two (002)
    But you tried to ride with him already,
    and it didn't work.
[18:58] Ichigo (015)
    Leave me out of this!
[19:00] Zero Two (002)
    Then stay out of it.
[19:03] Ichigo (015)
    Are you trying to suck Hiro dry?
[19:06] Zero Two (002)
    My darling belongs to me.
[19:08] Ichigo (015)
    He could die, you know!
[19:10] Zero Two (002)
    Sure, he could. But that'd just
    mean he didn't amount to much.
[19:19] Ichigo (015)
    You're heartless!
[19:21] Ichigo (015)
    You really aren't human!
[19:25] Zero Two (002)
    Human?
[19:28] Zero Two (002)
    Human, huh?
[19:29] Zero Two (002)
    Let me ask you something, then.
[19:32] Zero Two (002)
    What is "human" to you people?
[19:59] Goro (056)
    You'll catch a cold.
[20:04] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks. I just went out
    to take care of something.
[20:07] Goro (056)
    I know.
[20:09] Ichigo (015)
    Did you see the whole thing?
[20:11] Goro (056)
    Yeah.
[20:15] Ichigo (015)
    I don't know what to do.
[20:18] Ichigo (015)
    I'm supposed to be the leader,
    and he and I go way back,
[20:22] Ichigo (015)
    but I couldn't help Hiro pilot.
[20:26] Ichigo (015)
    I couldn't stop him.
[20:30] Ichigo (015)
    But she's there for him now,
    and that's what Hiro wants.
[20:36] Ichigo (015)
    But I... Something's wrong with me!
[20:41] Goro (056)
    Ichigo?
[20:42] Ichigo (015)
    I...
[20:44] Ichigo (015)
    I hate this!
[20:46] Ichigo (015)
    I can't stand it. My mind's a mess.
[20:50] Ichigo (015)
    What's going on?
[20:52] Ichigo (015)
    But... Hiro...
[20:55] Goro (056)
    Ichi—
[20:56] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro...
[20:58] Goro (056)
    What is this feeling?
[21:19] Zero Two (002)
    Everything smells nice after it rains, huh?
[21:23] Zero Two (002)
    Make it rain again sometime.
[21:25] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, right. You can't do it.
[21:29] Hiro (016)
    I can't say that for sure yet.
[21:38] Zero Two (002)
    This is where we first met.
[21:41] Hiro (016)
    It's only because I met you
    that I stand here right now.
[21:44] Hiro (016)
    That I can pilot a FRANXX.
[21:46] Zero Two (002)
    That's right. Your partner
    is me, and me alone.
[21:51] Zero Two (002)
    You already know, don't you?
[21:53] Zero Two (002)
    None of my partners could ever ride
    with me more than three times.
[21:57] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[21:59] Zero Two (002)
    It hurts, right? The pain is unbearable, isn't it?
[22:01] Zero Two (002)
    But it looks beautiful.
[22:04] Zero Two (002)
    What'll it be? If you want off
    this ride, now's your chance.
[22:09] Hiro (016)
    I'll ride with you.
[22:17] Hiro (016)
    Even if these wings I reached out
    and grabbed are to snap one day,
[22:21] Hiro (016)
    I'll still take flight into the sky.
[22:23] Hiro (016)
    Because I feel that's why I'm here right now.

[00:52] Goro (056)
    Are you really going to fight?
[00:55] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[01:05] Goro (056)
    You complete fool.
[01:08] Kokoro (556)
    I heard the klaxosaur numbers
    are higher than estimated.
[01:11] Kokoro (556)
    Do you think we'll be able
    to come back here alive?
[01:15] Ikuno (196)
    If nothing else, it won't be like
    anything we've experienced before.
[01:17] Miku (390)
    We can just let Squad 26 handle everything.
[01:21] Miku (390)
    Y'know, since we're dead weight, apparently.
[01:24] Ikuno (196)
    You're being awfully timid for once.
[01:28] Mitsuru (326)
    We can't afford to be too optimistic,
    given the difference in numbers.
[01:31] Zorome (666)
    Hey, don't go wimping out on us now.
[01:34] Zorome (666)
    We've got me, Zorome the Great, on our side.
[01:36] Futoshi (214)
    Zorome aside, we can count
    on Strelizia this time.
[01:40] Zorome (666)
    Anyway, we're not letting
    Squad 26 hog the glory.
[01:43] Mitsuru (326)
    That's not who you should be fighting.
[01:51] Ichigo (015)
    Where's Hiro?
[01:53] Goro (056)
    Still inside.
[01:57] Goro (056)
    You should probably talk to him.
[02:03] Goro (056)
    Go on.
[02:04] Ichigo (015)
    Wai—
[02:08] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo?
[02:10] Ichigo (015)
    Uh, well...
[02:13] Ichigo (015)
    The operation starts late at night.
[02:16] Ichigo (015)
    Did you get enough sleep?
    You might get drowsy midway otherwise.
[02:20] Hiro (016)
    Nah, I was too wide awake.
[02:22] Ichigo (015)
    I see.
[02:24] Ichigo (015)
    Actually, I couldn't sleep much, either.
[02:28] Ichigo (015)
    But I felt better once I took a bath.
[02:31] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[02:32] Ichigo (015)
    Uh...
[02:34] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo...
[02:35] Ichigo (015)
    Wh-What?
[02:36] Hiro (016)
    Let's make sure this operation succeeds.
[02:40] Ichigo (015)
    Y-Yeah, let's.
[02:43] Hiro (016)
    Being a leader isn't easy,
    but I know you're up to the task.
[02:48] Hiro (016)
    I'm counting on you.
[02:50] Ichigo (015)
    I-I'm counting on you plenty, too!
[02:54] Ichigo (015)
    I mean, you know, I...
[02:58] Ichigo (015)
    I've always...
[03:07] Hiro (016)
    Sorry. You've always what?
[03:11] Ichigo (015)
    I...
[03:14] Ichigo (015)
    I've always thought of you as a sibling.
[03:19] Hiro (016)
    Yeah, same here.
[03:22] Hiro (016)
    I'm sure Goro feels the same, too.
[03:27] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo, do your best as leader.
[03:32] Hiro (016)
    Together with Goro.
[03:39] Goro (056)
    How'd it go?
[03:40] Ichigo (015)
    He sends his regards to you.
[03:42] Goro (056)
    That guy...
[03:43] Ichigo (015)
    Goro...
[03:45] Ichigo (015)
    In this operation, we're going to save
    Strelizia for as late as possible.
[03:50] Goro (056)
    Got it.

[04:27] Hachi
    We have updated intel on the klaxosaurs.
[04:30] Hachi
    Aside from the Conrad-class pack, we've also
    detected a large, tightly packed unit.
[04:34] Hachi
    It didn't match any of the
    ones we have on record,
[04:37] Hachi
    but we've deemed it a klaxosaur
    due to its independent movement
[04:40] Hachi
    and codenamed it Target Beta.
[04:43] Futoshi (214)
    It's huge!
[04:44] Zorome (666)
    The heck is that thing?
[04:46] Miku (390)
    There are so many of the smaller ones, too.
[04:48] Hachi
    Since we lack data on it,
    attacking it would be reckless.
[04:51] Hachi
    As such, prioritize wiping out the
    Conrad-class pack once you engage.
[04:55] Hachi
    090 will have field command.
[04:58] Code:090
    Understood.
[04:59] Hachi
    It's time. All FRANXX, commence operation.

    Strelizia, stand by where you are.
[05:04] All
    Roger!

    Let's go, Squad 26.
[05:07] All
    Yeah!
[05:35] Code:090
    Focus on defeating in detail.
[05:37] Code:090
    As long as we deal with them
    calmly, we won't lose.
[05:48] Code:090
    How many did we let through?
[05:49] Plantation 26 Grunt
    Three...
[05:50] Plantation 26 Grunt
    No, four!
[05:51] Code:090
    Take care of them, Squad 13.
[05:54] Code:090
    But be careful not to stray too far ahead.
[05:56] Code:090
    If you move around haphazardly,
     you could affect our coordination, as well.
[05:59] Zorome (666)
    If you think we're a hindrance,
    come out and say it! Damn it...
[06:02] Goro (056)
    I never thought we'd be seen
    as such a big liability.
[06:05] Mitsuru (326)
    It's the truth. We're still green as hell.
[06:08] Mitsuru (326)
    Squad 26 has to carry us in their
    arms, piggyback, you name it.
[06:11] Zorome (666)
    Say what?
[06:12] Mitsuru (326)
    Here they come.
[06:16] Kokoro (556)
    We must stop them here.
[06:18] Futoshi (214)
    Hold still, damn it!
[06:31] Mitsuru (326)
    What are you doing?
[06:33] Zorome (666)
    I put too much behind that attack!
[06:38] Futoshi (214)
    Damn you! Keep your grubby paws off Kokoro!
[06:53] Ichigo (015)
    Pull yourself together.
[06:54] Kokoro (556)
    Thanks, Ichigo.
[06:56] Ichigo (015)
    Zorome, bait the enemy
    without getting too close.
[06:58] Ichigo (015)
    You have the speed.
[07:00] Zorome (666)
    You don't have to tell me!
[07:02] Ichigo (015)
    Mitsuru, stay close to Genista and back it up.

[07:17] Code:090
    Code 015, huh?

    What's such a skilled teen code doing in a
    makeshift test team? They even have 016.

    Second wave approaching.

    Here they come. Don't let them through.
[07:35] Zero Two (002)
    Take a look, darling.
[07:38] Zero Two (002)
    Their tactics are all over the place.
[07:40] Zero Two (002)
    A huge contrast to the
    precision of the other squad.
[07:44] Hiro (016)
    Are you saying they're being pushed back?
[07:46] Zero Two (002)
    They're barely hanging in there.
[07:49] Zero Two (002)
    Man, I'm starting to get the itch.
    I wanna join the fight already.
[07:54] Hiro (016)
    Why do you fight the klaxosaurs?
[07:59] Hiro (016)
    You always look like you're having fun,
    so I was wondering if you have a reason.
[08:05] Zero Two (002)
    A reason, huh?
[08:09] Zero Two (002)
    Because I'm a monster, maybe?
[08:15] Zero Two (002)
    How about you?
[08:16] Hiro (016)
    Uh, me?
[08:18] Hiro (016)
    To protect Papa and all the adults
    in the plantations, I guess.
[08:22] Zero Two (002)
    That's it?
[08:24] Hiro (016)
    That's it.
[08:25] Hiro (016)
    After all, that's our entire purpose in life.
[08:29] Zero Two (002)
    Huh... How lame.
[08:33] Hiro (016)
    If they need help, we should move out.
[08:37] Zero Two (002)

    You can't do whatever the hell you want—
[09:20] Code:090
    Damn it!
[09:21] Plantation 26 Grunt
    What do we do?
[09:22] Code:090
    Ignore them.
[09:23] Code:090
    Let's take it out in one fell swoop.
[09:40] Futoshi (214)
    Whoa...
[09:42] Goro (056)
    That's some teamwork.
[10:01] Zero Two (002)
    Is that all you've got, darling?
[10:08] Zero Two (002)
    Yes, good. That's the way.
[10:19] Ichigo (015)
    Get back, Strelizia!
[10:20] Hiro (016)
    It's fine. We can still go.
[10:23] Ichigo (015)
    Shut up and get back to your post!

    Everyone fall back!

[12:13] Code:090
    Thank you.
[12:17] Hachi
    All Squad 26 units fall back.
[12:19] Hachi
    Squad 13 will deal with the Gutenberg-class.
[12:22] Ikuno (196)
    Easier said than done.
[12:24] Kokoro (556)
    How are we supposed to
    stop something so massive?
[12:27] Mitsuru (326)
    Just stopping it would be meaningless.
[12:29] Mitsuru (326)
    We must kill it, or it'll breach
    the wall and that'll be that.
[12:32] Futoshi (214)
    We can do this if we link up with Strelizia.
[12:34] Miku (390)
    Yeah, I think that's our only choice.
[12:36] Zorome (666)
    It doesn't matter how we do it.
[12:38] Zorome (666)
    We gotta show them
[12:40] Zorome (666)
    that our squad can handle things ourselves!
[12:42] Hiro (016)
    Got it. You can count on me.
[12:45] Ichigo (015)
    Wait.
[12:46] Ichigo (015)
    Stay where you are, Strelizia.
[12:48] Zorome (666)
    What?
[12:50] Futoshi (214)
    We can't do this without them!
[12:52] Ikuno (196)
    Do you have a plan in mind, Ichigo?
[12:55] Ichigo (015)
    We'll have Strelizia land the finishing blow.
[12:57] Zorome (666)
    This is no time to hold anything back!
[12:59] Goro (056)
    Calm down, Zorome.
[13:00] Goro (056)
    Only Strelizia's spear can reach
    that massive thing's core.
[13:04] Ichigo (015)
    Goro...
[13:05] Goro (056)
    So we're going to create an
    opening for Strelizia to strike.
[13:09] Goro (056)
    Isn't that what you mean, Ichigo?
[13:11] Ichigo (015)
    Oh, y-yeah.
[13:14] Goro (056)
    Let's show them what we're made of.
[13:17] Zorome (666)
    O-Okay, that makes sense.
[13:20] Goro (056)
    You heard that, right, Hiro? Finish it off.
[13:23] Hiro (016)
    Got it.
[13:24] Ichigo (015)
    Squad 13, move out!
[13:28] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks, Goro.
[13:29] Goro (056)
    Just focus on the task at hand.
[13:30] Ichigo (015)
    Okay.
[13:31] Zorome (666)
    All right!
[13:33] Zorome (666)
    Here we go!
[13:37] Miku (390)
    Bear with it! Be a man!
[13:39] Zorome (666)
    You give it your all, too!
[13:41] Miku (390)
    Of course! I'm not gonna let
    anyone call me dead weight again!
[13:45] Kokoro (556)
    Futoshi!
[13:47] Ikuno (196)
    We must set things up for
    Strelizia, no matter what.
[13:50] Mitsuru (326)
    I know, I know!
[13:57] Zero Two (002)
    Does it hurt, darling?
[13:59] Zero Two (002)
    But this won't end until we kill that thing.
[14:01] Zero Two (002)
    You can do it, right?
[14:03] Hiro (016)
    Yeah, of course.
[14:16] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[14:17] Goro (056)
    Now!
[14:18] Hiro (016)
    I'm gonna finish this in one blow!
[14:26] Hiro (016)
    Get in there!
[14:46] Hiro (016)
    We did it...
[14:59] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[15:28] Ichigo (015)
    Run!
[15:29] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[15:48] Announcer
    Link between Code 002 and Code 016 broken.
[15:52] Nana
    No!
[15:53] Hachi
    We had to run out of time now?
[16:05] Goro (056)
    Hiro! Zero Two!
[16:08] Goro (056)
    Come in!
[16:09] Goro (056)
    Hey, Hiro!
[16:16] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro...
[16:18] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro's dead!
[16:20] Goro (056)
    Ichigo!
[16:21] Goro (056)
    Pull yourself together!
[16:22] Zorome (666)
    Hey, Hiro! What are you doing?!
[16:25] Miku (390)
    No way.
[16:26] Ikuno (196)
    Was that rumor true?
[16:28] Kokoro (556)
    We must save them quickly!
[16:30] Mitsuru (326)
    What's worse, it'll break through
    the wall if we don't do something.
[16:34] Futoshi (214)
    W-We gotta stop it!
[16:36] Ichigo (015)
    I couldn't tell him...
    I couldn't tell him not to pilot.
[16:40] Goro (056)
    Pull yourself together!
[16:43] Goro (056)
    This is no time to be crying!
[16:45] Goro (056)
    We gotta look out for
    our own lives right now!
[16:57] Hiro (016)
    Oh... I died.
[17:02] Hiro (016)
    I did everything I could, right?
[17:06] Naomi (703)
    There you go again, feeling satisfied
    and giving up all by yourself.
[17:10] Naomi (703)
    You're not even trying to
    listen to your partner.
[17:13] Hiro (016)
    I didn't give up. This is
    just as far as I can go.
[17:18] Hiro (016)
    It's not like when we split up.
[17:21] Hiro (016)
    Besides, I'm sure Zero Two
    can keep fighting without me.
[17:26] Hiro (016)
    That's how she's fought all this time.
[17:27] Naomi (703)
    But are you okay with that?
[17:30] Hiro (016)
    I got to pilot a FRANXX
    right at the very end.
[17:33] Hiro (016)
    I got to be of use to everyone.
[17:35] Hiro (016)
    So I have no regrets.
[17:37] Naomi (703)
    Liar.
[17:41] Hiro (016)
    Where is this?
[17:45] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[17:47] Hiro (016)
    You came to say goodbye to me?
[17:52] Hiro (016)
    Thanks to you, I got to find
    a place for myself again.
[17:56] Hiro (016)
    It wasn't for long, but I
    belonged as a child once more.
[18:05] Hiro (016)
    Wait.
[18:07] Hiro (016)
    Why do you look so sad?
[18:19] Hiro (016)
    Huh? What?
[18:28] Hiro (016)
    Wait, we didn't kill it? No way...
[18:38] Zero Two (002)
    Why, you... You're nothing but a monster!
[18:42] Hiro (016)
    Don't, Zero Two. You can't do this alone.
[18:46] Hiro (016)
    If you keep going, even you'll die.
[18:49] Hiro (016)
    Why do you go so far to fight?
[18:53] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Because I'm a monster, maybe?
[18:56] Hiro (016)
    Is this how it's always been for you?
[18:59] Hiro (016)
    Once you lose your partner,
    you fight all alone?
[19:04] Hiro (016)
    You can't fly by yourself, either?
SIGN    I'm always alone
[19:09] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    I'm always alone,
SIGN    Thanks to these horns
[19:12] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    thanks to these horns.
[19:20] Hiro (016)
    What the hell is wrong with me?
[19:23] Hiro (016)
    What am I doing when Zero Two's
    suffering in front of my eyes?
[19:27] Hiro (016)
    I want to help you.
[19:29] Hiro (016)
    I want to ride with you in Strelizia again.
[19:33] Hiro (016)
    My wings...
[19:36] Hiro (016)
    exist for you!
[20:06] Zero Two (002)
    Dar... ling?
[20:09] Hiro (016)
    I'm your partner.
[20:12] Hiro (016)
    I'm not going to leave you all alone.
[21:01] Goro (056)
    Hiro... He's still alive!
[21:06] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro...
[21:07] Nana
    Hiro's vitals have returned to normal!
[21:10] Hachi
    What is going on?
[21:12] Dr. Franxx
    Oh?
[21:14] Nana
    Doctor?
[21:20] Kokoro (556)
    It's changing forms again!
[21:21] Mitsuru (326)
    We can't let it.
[21:23] Miku (390)
    Don't just stand around, Ichigo!
[21:26] Ikuno (196)
    This is our chance!
[21:27] Futoshi (214)
    It's our turn now!
[21:29] Zorome (666)
    Let's help them out!
[21:30] Goro (056)
    Create another opening for Strelizia!
[21:34] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah!
[21:44] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[21:45] Ichigo (015)
    Zero Two!
[21:51] Zero Two (002)
    Let's fly!
[21:52] Hiro (016)
    Yeah!
[21:53] Zero Two (002)
    With our wings!
[21:57] Hiro (016)
    With our wings!
[22:26] Code:090
    Wings?
[22:27] Dr. Franxx
    That boy might just make
    Zero Two's wish come true.
[22:35] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two.
[22:36] Zero Two (002)
    Hmm?
[22:38] Hiro (016)
    I've found another reason to pilot a FRANXX.
[22:43] Zero Two (002)
    Really? What is it?
[22:47] Hiro (016)
    I want to be your wings.
[22:51] Hiro (016)
    Though I don't know what'll happen next time.
[22:54] Zero Two (002)
    I'm sure you'll be fine next time,
    the time after that, and many more times.
[22:56] ---
    Staring blankly out a window
    in class, I ask the sky
[23:00] Hiro (016)
    The Jian, also known as
    "the bird that shares wings,"
[23:02] ---
    What am I living for? I don't know
[23:03] Hiro (016)
    only possesses one wing.
[23:06] Hiro (016)
    When a male and female pair
    lean on each other and act as one,
[23:08] ---
    The ideal self I wrote down in
    the blank spaces of my textbook
[23:09] Hiro (016)
    they can fly as high and as far as they want.
[23:14] Hiro (016)
    If I can be your wings,
[23:14] ---
    Isn't a puppet of the adults
[23:17] ---
    And is as free as a bird in the sky
[23:18] Hiro (016)
    then even if my life burns out,
[23:21] Hiro (016)
    I'll keep leaning on you right here.
[23:23] ---
    Making me dream, and not giving me the power
[23:30] ---
    To make it come true just
    makes it more painful
[23:36] ---
    When even the length of
    my skirt is decided for me
[23:37] Hiro (016)
    Because that may be my purpose in life.
[23:42] ---
    And I can't find something to live
    for, where does that leave me?
[23:45] Zero Two (002)
    I have to kill more and more klaxosaurs.
[23:53] Leader
    Well, well.
[23:54] Leader
    You're certainly hitting it off,
[23:57] Leader
    Nine Iota.

[00:03] Ichigo (015)
    After the successful kissing
    with Plantation 26,
[00:08] Ichigo (015)
    Squad 13 was given a special vacation.
[00:19] Zorome & Futoshi
    It's the ocean!
[00:23] Miku (390)
    So childish.
[00:24] Miku (390)
    Being on break doesn't mean
    you can get carried away.
[00:27] Kokoro (556)
    I don't blame them.
[00:28] Kokoro (556)
    This is our first time seeing
    an ocean that's okay to swim in.
[00:31] Ikuno (196)
    I didn't know a place like this
    survived on the surface, though.
[00:37] Ichigo (015)
    Ever since being assigned to the squad,
[00:39] Ichigo (015)
    we'd been living our lives under
    extreme anxiety and stress.
[00:42] Ichigo (015)
    But this scene was entirely
    removed from all that,
[00:45] Ichigo (015)
    which put us in very high spirits.
[00:50] Goro (056)
    Hey. Don't go too far out.
[00:54] Ichigo (015)
    Nana said she'd come pick
    us up tomorrow morning.
[00:57] Goro (056)
    Do you think this is some
    kind of training, too?
[01:00] Ichigo (015)
    Who knows?
[01:03] Ichigo (015)
    But...
[01:04] Ichigo (015)
    This seems to be free of klaxosaurs,
[01:07] Ichigo (015)
    and since we're here anyway,
    let's enjoy ourselves.
[01:09] Goro (056)
    Y-Yeah.
[01:13] Zero Two (002)
    Let's go, darling!
[01:15] Hiro (016)
    Ease up a little, Zero Two!
[01:16] Kokoro (556)
    I'm glad Hiro's all better now.
[01:18] Zero Two (002)
    Hurry up!
[01:18] Miku (390)
    We were all worried for nothing.
[01:20] Goro (056)
    But now, that rumor about
    Zero Two has been proven false,
[01:23] Goro (056)
    and Hiro has become an official parasite.
[01:26] Goro (056)
    Good news all around, don't you think?
[01:28] Ichigo (015)
    Following that battle, the two of
    them were made official partners.
[01:30] Zero Two (002)
    Take that!
[01:32] Ichigo (015)
    I still have my misgivings about Zero Two,
[01:33] Zero Two (002)
    Come on, darling.
[01:34] Ichigo (015)
    but one look at Hiro now makes it obvious
    that she was exactly what he needed.
[01:40] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah.
[01:41] Ichigo (015)
    I'm really glad.
[03:15] Sage A
    Who would've thought that failure of a
    special specimen had so much ability?
[03:21] Sage C
    Seriously. I wish he'd shown
    us this from the start.
[03:25] Sage B
    Our girl's silly search for
    a man has finally ended.
[03:29] Sage B
    We should be happy about that.
[03:31] Sage E
    But it doesn't change the fact that she
    still needs to be monitored closely.
[03:35] Head
    Plantation 13 is hereby declared a
    top-priority surveillance subject.
[03:41] Head
    Code 016 is tasked with bringing our girl
    to the Gran Crevasse safe and sound.
[03:46] Vice Chairman
    The time has finally come.
[03:49] Nana
    A special surveillance subject?
[03:52] Nana
    Is it because Zero Two is now officially
    under Plantation 13's purview?
[03:57] Hachi
    One of APE's special forces has become
    a plantation's exclusive parasite.
[04:03] Hachi
    There's no precedent, but it was
    the obvious decision.
[04:07] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Oh, Zero Two. Glad to see you're okay.
[04:11] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    All thanks to my darling's efforts out there.
[04:14] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    You didn't have to come all this
    way. We would've been fine.
[04:16] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Don't be like that.
[04:18] Zero Two (002)
    You're leaving already?
[04:18] (Flashback) Nana
    Hiro, this is Doctor Franxx.
[04:19] Dr. Franxx
    Well, I got what I came for.
SIGN    Doctor Franxx
[04:21] (Flashback) Nana
    The creator of the FRANXX.
[04:21] Dr. Franxx
    It looks like I wasn't needed.
[04:24] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    The creator...
[04:26] (Flashback) Nana
    And this here is—
[04:27] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    No need to introduce us.
[04:29] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    We're sure to run into one
    another again someday.
[04:34] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    This is the first time
    anyone's survived Zero Two.
[04:37] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    Huh... So this is what you're like.
[04:40] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    I must say, I've taken an interest in you guys.
[04:44] (Flashback) Hachi
    Doctor.
[04:45] (Flashback) Hachi
    As of today, Strelitzia and Code 002 are
    transferred into Plantation 13's purview.
[04:52] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    I know. The geezers told me already.
[04:56] (Flashback) Hachi
    As such,
[04:57] (Flashback) Hachi
    Code 016 is hereby officially
    appointed Code 002's partner.
[05:04] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Y-Yes, sir!
[05:05] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Darling! I'm so happy!
[05:08] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I can't breathe, Zero Two!
[05:11] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Hey, Doctor.
[05:13] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    I'll be fine if I'm with my darling.
    We'll do this together.
[05:17] Hachi
    Often times, one needs foreign elements
    in order to adapt to their environment.
[05:20] Hachi
    I guess that's what this special order is for.
[05:23] Nana
    Not to mention,
[05:24] Nana
    sending the children to
    the beach by themselves?
[05:27] Nana
    The doctor's ideas are always so crazy.
[05:31] Kokoro (556)
    Here I go!
[05:33] Miku (390)
    Bring it!
[05:34] Kokoro (556)
    Ready... There!
[05:39] Futoshi (214)
    Gotta love the beach, huh?
[05:41] Zorome (666)
    Yeah.
[05:45] Zorome (666)
    For some reason,
[05:46] Zorome (666)
    the girls look 50% cuter. It's a mystery.
[05:49] Goro (056)
    Yeah, this is certainly a sight for sore eyes.
[05:51] Futoshi (214)
    Huh? Are you one of us, Goro?
[05:56] Zorome (666)
    I thought you double-digits were
    just a bunch of goody-two-shoes,
[05:59] Zorome (666)
    but we have more in common than I thought.
[06:01] Goro (056)
    Wh-What the hell? I'm a guy, too!
[06:04] Goro (056)
    How am I supposed to ignore
    this marvelous view?
[06:08] Kokoro (556)
    Ow... Are you all right?
[06:10] Miku (390)
    Sorry. I was looking up the whole time.
[06:12] Kokoro (556)
    That string's coming undone.
[06:14] Miku (390)
    Oh, no! Tie it back up for me, please!
[06:17] All
    Long live the beach!
[06:20] Hiro (016)
    Hey, how far are you going?
[06:24] Zorome (666)
    Yo, check out those two.
[06:30] Zero Two (002)
    Swimming in the ocean feels so good.
[06:34] Zero Two (002)
    And it does taste salty.
[06:36] Zero Two (002)
    It's the real deal this time, huh,
[06:39] Zero Two (002)
    darling?
[06:43] Zero Two (002)
    Darling?
[06:44] Hiro (016)
    S-Sorry. It's just, looking
    at you in a swimsuit...
[06:47] Zero Two (002)
    Is it weird?
[06:47] Hiro (016)
    No, you look really good! But for some
    reason, I can't look you in the eye...
[06:52] Zero Two (002)
    You saw me naked before, though.
[06:54] Hiro (016)
    I-It's not like I meant to!
[06:57] Zero Two (002)
    You're the one who helped
    me get here, darling.
[07:01] Zero Two (002)
    I'd never taken a dip in an ocean before.
[07:05] Zero Two (002)
    You're my wings, right?
[07:08] Zero Two (002)
    If I'm with you, I can fly anywhere I want.
[07:12] Zero Two (002)
    Say, darling.
[07:14] Zero Two (002)
    We'll always be together, right?
[07:18] Hiro (016)
    Always...
[07:21] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Code 016.
[07:23] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Let me offer you a piece of advice.
[07:26] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Y-Yes?
[07:27] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Don't let her consume your emotions, too.
[07:30] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    If you want to always
    be her partner, that is.
[07:35] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Otherwise, you'll be the one to suffer later.
[07:39] Zero Two (002)
    You and I have crossed a
    line together, you know?
[07:48] Zero Two (002)
    Your taste really does make my heart race.
[07:54] Zero Two (002)
    Were you expecting a kiss?
[07:56] Zero Two (002)
    A kiss is a declaration that the
    other person belongs to you.
[08:00] Zero Two (002)
    So you should only kiss
    the person you love, okay?
[08:03] Hiro (016)
    Love? Kiss?
[08:05] Zero Two (002)
    Wait... Have you done it with
    someone other than me, perhaps?
[08:09] Hiro (016)
    Huh? W-Well...
[08:15] Zero Two (002)
    Darling?
[08:20] Zorome (666)
    Gotcha!
[08:23] Ikuno (196)
    Ichigo?
[08:27] Ikuno (196)
    Distracted, are we?
[08:28] Ichigo (015)
    Huh?!
[08:30] Ikuno (196)
    By the ocean, I mean.
[08:32] Ikuno (196)
    Aren't you going to swim?
[08:34] Ikuno (196)
    You were always good at swimming.
[08:35] Ichigo (015)
    Oh, that's what you meant?
[08:38] Ichigo (015)
    Well, yeah...
[08:41] Ikuno (196)
    I've got this book, so don't
    worry about me. Go on.
[08:47] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks, Ikuno.
[08:56] Mitsuru (326)
    You came all this way just to read?
[08:59] Ikuno (196)
    Forcing myself to frolic
    doesn't sit well with me.
[09:01] Mitsuru (326)
    No arguments here.
[09:04] Futoshi (214)
    Give it up already!
[09:05] Mitsuru (326)
    Isn't it great?
[09:06] Hiro (016)
    Jeez!
[09:06] Mitsuru (326)
    The guy who looked like he
    wanted to die not too long ago
[09:08] Hiro (016)
    Seriously, knock it off!
[09:11] Mitsuru (326)
    is now part of the group again.
[09:14] Ikuno (196)
    Please don't look to me for affirmation.
[09:17] Ikuno (196)
    I'm not like you.
[09:19] Mitsuru (326)
    Please. I was merely talking to myself.
[09:22] Ikuno (196)
    Is that all you wanted to talk about?
    Are we done now, then?
[09:25] Mitsuru (326)
    Nah.
[09:27] Mitsuru (326)
    I found something odd.
[09:31] Hiro (016)
    What's gotten into you guys?
[09:33] Goro (056)
    I didn't mean to intrude,
[09:35] Goro (056)
    but these guys just wouldn't listen.
[09:38] Hiro (016)
    Wh-What is it?
[09:41] Zorome (666)
    What's a kiss?
[09:42] Hiro (016)
    Huh?!
[09:43] Hiro (016)
    Y-You were listening?!
[09:45] Futoshi (214)
    I've never heard the word "kiss" before,
    but it sounds magical!
[09:51] Zorome (666)
    Hiro, my boy, where do
    you think you're going?
[09:53] Zorome (666)
    Are you sure you're not
    hiding anything from us?
[09:55] Futoshi (214)
    What were you two getting up to?
[09:58] Hiro (016)
    N-Nothing!
[09:59] Hiro (016)
    C-C'mon, help me!
[10:01] Goro (056)
    Hiro...
[10:02] Goro (056)
    I also want to know.
[10:04] Goro (056)
    What's a kiss?
[10:05] Hiro (016)
    Not you, too!
[10:08] Hiro (016)
    I-I don't really get it myself.
[10:11] Hiro (016)
    I-It's when two people stick
    their mouths together.
[10:15] Zorome, Futoshi & Goro
    Their mouths?!
[10:16] Futoshi (214)
    Mouths are for something besides eating?!
[10:19] Goro (056)
    Don't you breathe with yours sometimes?
[10:21] Zorome (666)
    And what happens when you kiss or whatever?
[10:25] Hiro (016)
    I-It felt really soft, warm,
[10:30] Hiro (016)
    and, uh...
[10:32] Hiro (016)
    It made my heart race.
[10:34] Hiro (016)
    B-But we didn't kiss back there!
[10:36] Futoshi (214)
    I kinda wanna try it myself.
[10:39] Zorome (666)
    What the hell? I really wanna
    know what it feels like!
[10:41] Zorome (666)
    Damn you! You got the jump on us again!
[10:45] Zorome (666)
    Let me kiss you!
[10:48] Hiro (016)
    Wait! You should only do it
    with the person you love!
[10:50] Zorome (666)
    The heck is a "person you love"?
[10:51] Hiro (016)
    Stop it!
[10:52] Ichigo (015)
    What are you guys doing?
[10:53] Zorome (666)
    Don't stop me...
[10:58] Zorome (666)
    Ow!
[10:59] Futoshi (214)
    Do you know what a kiss is, Ichigo?
[11:02] Futoshi (214)
    The thing where two people touch mouths.
[11:04] Ichigo (015)
    N...
[11:05] Ichigo (015)
    N-No idea!
[11:08] Mitsuru (326)
    Hey!
[11:11] Mitsuru (326)
    Got a sec?
[11:25] Miku (390)
    Hey, are you sure?
[11:27] Mitsuru (326)
    Yes. You'll see it at the end of this path.
[11:31] Zorome (666)
    This is like an exploration. How exciting!
[11:34] Kokoro (556)
    But it's so dark that I'm
    getting a little creeped out.
[11:38] Mitsuru (326)
    You didn't have to come
    along if you didn't want to.
[11:42] Futoshi (214)
    Hey! Don't talk to Kokoro like that!
[11:46] Mitsuru (326)
    At the very least,
[11:47] Mitsuru (326)
    I can't guarantee your
    safety from here on out.
[11:55] Goro (056)
    Is there a relationship closer
    than being partners?
[11:59] Goro (056)
    Well, watching you two makes me wonder.
[12:02] Goro (056)
    You talk about "kisses"
    and "loving a person."
[12:06] Goro (056)
    What's that all about?
[12:09] Hiro (016)
    I don't really understand, either.
[12:12] Goro (056)
    "Makes your heart race," huh?
[12:14] Goro (056)
    You know, I have fun being with Ichigo,
[12:17] Goro (056)
    but it also hurts sometimes.
[12:19] Goro (056)
    Maybe I'm not like you guys.
[12:26] Ikuno (196)
    Ichigo?
[12:28] Ikuno (196)
    What's the matter? Your face is all red.
[12:31] Ichigo (015)
    I-Is it?
[12:32] Mitsuru (326)
    We can see it now.
[12:54] Miku (390)
    What is this place?
[13:04] Ikuno (196)
    It's like a small city or something.
[13:06] Zorome (666)
    A city? This?
[13:08] Zorome (666)
    It's nothing like the cities the adults live in!
[13:12] Kokoro (556)
    Do you think people live here?
[13:14] Mitsuru (326)
    Who knows?
[13:16] Mitsuru (326)
    I've never heard of anyone
    living outside the plantations.
[13:28] Zorome (666)
    Hey! Anybody here?
[13:38] Zorome (666)
    This isn't really what I was expecting.
[13:40] Miku (390)
    And what exactly were you expecting?
[13:43] Zorome (666)
    I mean, look!
[13:44] Zorome (666)
    This isn't all that different
    from our boarding house!
[13:49] Ikuno (196)
    Yeah. It's like they used this as the model
[13:52] Ikuno (196)
    to build the environment we live in.
[13:56] Miku (390)
    But why?
[13:57] Ikuno (196)
    Don't ask me.

    Zero Two...
[15:07] Ichigo (015)
    D-Done what?
[15:10] Zero Two (002)
    Kissed.
[15:13] Zero Two (002)
    I guess you guys aren't ready for it yet.
[15:16] Ichigo (015)
    I-I've done it, too.
[15:20] Zero Two (002)
    Really? With whom?
[15:22] Zero Two (002)
    A kiss is something you share
    with your special someone.
[15:26] Zero Two (002)
    Is the one you kissed special to you?
[15:29] Ichigo (015)
    W-Well...

    Ichigo?
[15:46] Miku (390)
    I'm beat!
[15:48] Kokoro (556)
    We did walk around a lot.
[15:50] Miku (390)
    I'm gonna be so sore tomorrow.
[15:53] Zorome (666)
    So what was this place, anyway?
[15:56] Ikuno (196)
    If nothing else, we can be sure
    that it was part of civilization.
[16:00] Goro (056)
    So, people lived here in the past?
[16:03] Zero Two (002)
    They abandoned it.
[16:08] Zero Two (002)
    Humans once lived on the surface,
    but then they abandoned it.
[16:13] Zero Two (002)
    There are tons of places
    like this around the world.
[16:22] Zorome (666)
    Woohoo! Food's ready!
[16:25] Futoshi (214)
    Look, meat!
[16:26] Zorome (666)
    Can I dig in now?
[16:26] Miku (390)
    I'm starved.
[16:27] Zorome (666)
    I can, right?
[16:28] Goro (056)
    Wow, this looks good.
[16:29] Ikuno (196)
    Seriously, when did this stuff get here?
[16:34] Futoshi (214)
    Hot, hot, hot...
[16:35] Miku (390)
    Jeez, be careful.
[16:37] Ichigo (015)
    You okay?
[16:38] Futoshi (214)
    I'm fine. All good.

    Hey, darling.
[16:53] Zero Two (002)
    I'm gonna go swim some more, okay?
[16:55] Hiro (016)
    When it's this dark?
[16:57] Zero Two (002)
    Yeah.
[17:02] Miku (390)
    I can't eat any more!
    My belly's gonna explode!
[17:05] Kokoro (556)
    Jeez, Miku, everyone's watching.
    Where are your manners?
[17:08] Miku (390)
    After how much I walked today, I don't care.

[17:18] Zorome (666)
    Hey, we all walked just the same!
[17:21] Futoshi (214)
    S-So jelly!
[17:22] Miku (390)
    Yeah, yeah, keep talking.
[17:25] Hiro (016)
    Why do you think humanity
    abandoned the surface?
[17:28] Zorome (666)
    Oh, you mean what Zero Two said earlier?
[17:30] Goro (056)
    Well, they must've had reasons
    they couldn't live out here anymore.
[17:35] Hiro (016)
    But there's so much more
     space and beautiful scenery.
[17:39] Hiro (016)
    I was surprised to learn there
    was a world like this out there.
[17:41] Futoshi (214)
    But we have that in Mistilteinn, too.
[17:44] Miku (390)
    Besides, the outside world
    is filled with klaxosaurs.
[17:48] Hiro (016)
    If humanity hadn't started
    extracting magma energy,
[17:52] Hiro (016)
    I wonder if the klaxosaurs
    would never have showed up.
[17:54] Mitsuru (326)
    Are you doubting Papa and the rest?
[17:56] Mitsuru (326)
    They decided to move into plantations in
    order to protect mankind from klaxosaurs.
[18:01] Mitsuru (326)
    Isn't that a wonderful cause?
[18:09] Zorome (666)
    Papa and the others really are amazing!
[18:12] Zorome (666)
    I mean, the adults used to
    live in these drab outdoors,
[18:15] Zorome (666)
    but now they live in bright, sparkling cities!
[18:18] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah, you're right.
[18:20] Zorome (666)
    And we're the ones protecting their lifestyles!
[18:22] Zorome (666)
    We're being useful to them!
[18:25] Zorome (666)
    If we keep killing klaxosaurs,
    we'll have food on our table,
[18:29] Zorome (666)
    and Papa will give us attention!
[18:31] Zorome (666)
    And one day, we'll surely become adults, too!
[18:34] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah, yeah!
[18:37] Zorome (666)
    You agree, right, Hiro?
[18:39] Hiro (016)
    R-Right...
[18:41] Zorome (666)
    Why so aloof, man?
[18:43] Zorome (666)
    We're teammates, aren't we?
[18:46] Hiro (016)
    Teammates?
[18:47] Zorome (666)
    Huh? Did I say something weird?
[18:55] Miku (390)
    Zorome aside,
[18:57] Miku (390)
    you two are the newest members.
[19:00] Miku (390)
    You'd better put in both your
    and Naomi's share of the work.
[19:02] Kokoro (556)
    As for me, I find it very reassuring
    that you two are with us.
[19:06] Futoshi (214)
    After all, Zero Two has helped us out a bunch.
[19:10] Goro (056)
    You heard 'em.

    Hiro.
[19:15] Ichigo (015)
    Allow me to officially welcome
    you and Zero Two to Squad 13.
[19:21] Ichigo (015)
    As the leader, I'm going
    to work you to the bone.
[19:23] Ichigo (015)
    So you'd best be prepared.
[19:27] Hiro (016)
    Guys... Thank you!
[19:29] Hiro (016)
    I'll do my best.
[19:30] Zorome (666)
    All right!
[19:41] Zorome (666)
    Hey, look! It's a crab!
[19:43] Futoshi (214)
    What? Where?
[19:44] Futoshi (214)
    Is it edible?
[19:45] Mitsuru (326)
    You want to eat even more?
[19:47] Zorome (666)
    There's one over there, too!
[19:49] Futoshi (214)
    Hold it, crab!
[20:04] Hiro (016)
    Sorry. Did I wake you?
[20:10] Ichigo (015)
    I couldn't sleep, for some reason.
[20:12] Hiro (016)
    Same. I felt like it'd be
    a waste if I fell asleep.
[20:24] Ichigo (015)
    Look, Hiro! You can see
    so many stars in the sky!
[20:30] Hiro (016)
    You're right.
[20:31] Ichigo (015)
    Oh, hey, it's Orion.
[20:34] Hiro (016)
    In the past,
[20:36] Hiro (016)
    Orion was considered the most
    prominent winter constellation.
[20:39] Ichigo (015)
    Really?
[20:41] Ichigo (015)
    You used to tell me about the stars
    a lot when we were little, too.
[20:45] Hiro (016)
    Did I?
[20:47] Ichigo (015)
    You did!
[20:48] Ichigo (015)
    I might be stupid, but I remember
    everything you taught me!
[20:56] Ichigo (015)
    So... did you forget about that star, too?
[21:00] Hiro (016)
    You mean the Ichigo star?
[21:02] Hiro (016)
    The fifteenth star of Orion,
    the same as your code.
[21:05] Hiro (016)
    I read in a book that it's so dark, it can
    be difficult to spot with the naked eye.
[21:09] Hiro (016)
    I guess you really can't see it.
[21:12] Hiro (016)
    We'd promised we'd see it together
    one day after leaving the Garden, too.
[21:17] Ichigo (015)
    Wh-What the heck? You remember it just fine.
[21:19] ---
    Ow.
[21:24] Ichigo (015)
    We can look for the star again sometime.
[21:26] Ichigo (015)
    I mean, we're going to keep
    fighting on the same team.
[21:30] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[21:31] Hiro (016)
    I acted all bossy and said
    you'd best be prepared earlier,
[21:36] Hiro (016)
    but the rest of us have to do our best, too.
[21:40] Hiro (016)
    You know...
[21:42] Hiro (016)
    I'm going to give it my all as leader,
[21:45] Hiro (016)
    so don't give Zero Two all your
    attention. Look at me, too.
[21:52] Hiro (016)
    I...
[21:55] Hiro (016)
    I see the kiss we shared during the
    mock battle as something special!
[21:58] Hiro (016)
    So I...
[22:00] Hiro (016)
    I want to be with you forev—
[22:01] Hiro (016)
    Look, Ichigo! Shooting stars!
[22:08] Hiro (016)
    With their long tails, the shooting
    stars blazed a trail across the sky.
[22:12] Hiro (016)
    Drawn in by gravity, those stars
    shone so brightly, just like us.
[22:19] Hiro (016)
    The light they gave off looked
    to me like gentle rays of hope.
[22:25] Hiro (016)
    They say if you make a wish on
    a shooting star, it'll come true.
[22:28] Hiro (016)
    What would you wish for?
[22:31] Ichigo (015)
    I tried to say it earlier.
[22:36] Ichigo (015)
    Stupid Hiro.
[22:38] Hiro (016)
    What the heck?
[22:40] Hiro (016)
    I wished on the shooting stars that
    night for that light to never fade.
[22:40] Hiro (016)
    Hey! What'd you mean?

[01:06] Futoshi (214)
    Don't worry. It's nothing at all.
[01:10] Ichigo (015)
    Focus. We're in the middle of a battle.
[01:12] Goro (056)
    I-I know!
[01:18] Zero Two (002)
    Let's finish it off, darling!
[01:20] Hiro (016)
    Huh? Y-Yeah.
[01:37] Zero Two (002)
    Darling?
[01:39] Hiro (016)
    This is bad, Zero Two!
[01:41] Hiro (016)
    It's gonna be exposed!
[01:42] Zorome & Futoshi
    Don't tell her, dumbass!
[01:48] Miku (390)
    My parasite suit!
[03:30] Goro (056)
    You've got the wrong idea!
[03:31] Goro (056)
    We only didn't tell you because we didn't
    want to distract you during the battle.
[03:37] Futoshi (214)
    As for me,
[03:38] Futoshi (214)
    I simply found you amazingly
    beautiful, Kokoro!
[03:41] Futoshi (214)
    Believe me! This is straight from the heart!
[03:47] Mitsuru (326)
    So stupid.
[03:50] Zorome (666)
    Y'know, it's not like being
    seen hurts you or anything.
[03:53] Miku (390)
    Excuse me? What did you just say?
[03:55] Hiro (016)
    Wait, guys.
[03:56] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two told me that parasites are, uh...
[04:02] Hiro (016)
    better off being a little pervy!
[04:05] Hiro (016)
    Right, Zero Two?
[04:07] Zero Two (002)
    Yup, yup.
[04:09] Ichigo (015)
    What the hell?
[04:15] Miku (390)
    I can't believe they've been ogling us.
[04:18] Miku (390)
    Wait, were they doing it
    back at the beach, too?
[04:21] Ikuno (196)
    That's how boys are.
[04:23] Miku (390)
    Unbelievable! They're such creeps!
[04:26] Ichigo (015)
    And here I thought we'd finally
    started to link up well.
[04:29] Ichigo (015)
    This is a matter that can
    deeply affect squad morale.
[04:32] Kokoro (556)
    All of you need to calm down a little.
[04:35] Miku (390)
    I've had it! I don't wanna be
    anywhere near the boys anymore!
[04:39] Miku (390)
    I know what to do. We should quit.
[04:41] Miku (390)
    Let's put an end to our communal
    life with the boys!

[04:54] Miku (390)

    Cross that line, and you will regret it.
[05:13] Dr. Franxx
    Ah, puberty.
[05:16] Hachi
    It's unprecedented for so many members
    of a squad to hit puberty at once.
[05:21] Nana
    Statistics indicate that it has always
    been at most one or two together.
[05:27] Hachi
    But this time, it's practically everyone.
[05:29] Hachi
    It's clearly an abnormal case.
[05:31] Dr. Franxx
    But that's what makes it so intriguing.
[05:34] Nana
    If we go by APE's manual, we should
    intervene and resolve the issue immediately.
[05:41] Dr. Franxx
    Listen to yourself. What would be the
    point of this test team if we did that?
[05:46] Dr. Franxx
    Just observe what happens and
    give me detailed reports.
[05:50] Dr. Franxx
    Don't you dare interfere
    or let the geezers know.
[05:58] Miku (390)
    Did you see the look on the
    boys' faces back there?
[06:00] Miku (390)
    Serves them right!
[06:04] Ikuno (196)
    What's the matter?
[06:12] Miku (390)
    Now we've just gotta rein her in.
[06:19] Miku (390)
    H-Hey, what do you think you're doing?
[06:22] Zorome (666)
    Well, seeing as we can't use the
    bath, we took a dip in the lake.
[06:25] Zorome (666)
    It felt amazing.
[06:27] Miku (390)
    W-Would it kill you to get dressed?
[06:29] Miku (390)
    Are you listening to me?
[06:31] Zorome (666)
    What we do in our territory
    is none of your damn business.
[06:41] Miku (390)
    What was that all about?!
[06:44] Ikuno (196)
    They're trying to provoke us.
[06:46] Hiro (016)
    I bet it was Goro's idea.
[06:48] Hiro (016)
    Zorome and Futoshi couldn't
    have thought of it.
[06:52] Miku (390)
    They get to have fun in the lake,
    and we're stuck cleaning the bath?
[06:56] Miku (390)
    It's not fair!
[06:58] Kokoro (556)
    We can't really complain about that.
[07:00] Ikuno (196)
    We're the ones who declared
    the bath off-limits to the boys.
[07:04] Miku (390)
    I know, but still!
[07:06] Miku (390)
    Man, why must cleaning be the only
    thing we have to do ourselves?
[07:12] Miku (390)
    I wish the invisible caretakers would handle it,
    like they do with our food and laundry!
[07:22] Goro (056)
    Sorry, but we've taken over this area.
[07:25] Goro (056)
    We noticed that you girls
    hadn't taped it off.
[07:31] Zorome (666)
    So good!
[07:32] Zorome (666)
    Today's breakfast is extraordinary!
[07:35] Miku (390)
    No fair! You're heartless!
[07:37] Goro (056)
    You're right.
[07:39] Goro (056)
    So what say we both drop all the
    silly rules and eat together?
[07:45] Ikuno (196)
    It's a trap.
[07:46] Hiro (016)
    Agreed.
[07:47] Hiro (016)
    Don't go, Miku!
[07:57] Miku (390)
    No!
[08:01] Goro (056)
    Talk about pigheaded.
[08:04] Hiro (016)
    Everyone's gotten too stubborn about this.
[08:06] Hiro (016)
    This is looking really bad. We need
    to hurry up and do something.
[08:10] Zero Two (002)
    Is that how you feel, darling?
[08:13] Zero Two (002)
    I'm the opposite.
[08:16] Zero Two (002)
    I think it could use a
    little spicing up, in fact.
[08:33] Kokoro (556)
    Could it be you have an interest in plants?
[08:36] Mitsuru (326)
    Not really.
[08:37] Kokoro (556)
    Then why are you here?
[08:39] Mitsuru (326)
    This place is the perfect getaway
    when I want to be alone. That's all.
[08:45] Kokoro (556)
    I begged Nana to let me take
    care of this greenhouse.
[08:50] Kokoro (556)
    We had seeds, so I've been planting and
    growing them while studying up on things.
[08:57] Kokoro (556)
    Have you ever heard of
    the language of flowers?
[08:59] Kokoro (556)
    This is a hibiscus. Its floral
    meaning is "delicate beauty."
[09:04] Kokoro (556)
    And the cattleya over
    there stands for "alluring."
[09:12] Kokoro (556)
    Hey, do you really not mind
    chatting with me like this?
[09:16] Mitsuru (326)
    Are you talking about the fight?
[09:18] Mitsuru (326)
    It's stupid. I can't be bothered to play along.
[09:21] Kokoro (556)
    Really? That's so cool!
[09:24] Mitsuru (326)
    Cool?
[09:25] Kokoro (556)
    It takes a lot of courage
    to refuse to toe the line.
[09:30] Kokoro (556)
    I was too scared to say anything.

[09:45] Mitsuru (326)
    Not that it matters to me.

    I'm starving.

    Hey, that's why I'm looking
    for things to eat, isn't it?
[10:08] Miku (390)
    So this is what the first floor's like.
    I've never come here before.
[10:16] Ichigo (015)
    It's sealed off.
[10:18] Miku (390)
    Nobody's using it?
[10:22] Ichigo (015)
    How long will this fight go on?
[10:25] Ikuno (196)
    Well... I wouldn't mind if
    things stayed this way forever.
[10:31] Zero Two (002)
    I taste a secret.

    What?!
[10:37] Ichigo (015)
    Wait!
[10:40] Miku (390)
    Whose side are you on?
[10:43] Ichigo (015)
    We'd like you to cooperate, if you could.
[10:46] Zero Two (002)
    What you're doing is lame.
    You're just playing around.
[10:50] Miku (390)
    Wha... You don't know that!
[10:53] Ichigo (015)
    Believe it or not, we're serious.

    waved the white flag.

    Why would you do this, Zero Two?

    Hey, our clothes are gone!

    What?!

    This is it. There's nowhere
    left for you to run—
[13:13] Zero Two (002)
    Darling, you pervert!
[13:35] Hiro (016)
    Why'd you do this, though?
[13:37] Zero Two (002)
    The fight. I wanted to try
    taking part in a human fight.

    Zero Two...
[13:45] Zero Two (002)
    Hey, darling, do I seem
    a little more human now?
[13:55] Hiro (016)

    That's it! We've had it with this crap!

    a thought for us girls?!
[14:23] Zorome (666)
    Shut up! All of you—

[14:36] Nana
    Can you really sortie like this?
    I certainly don't think so.
[14:40] Hachi
    You're parasites. Don't forget
    what comes first and foremost.
[14:46] All
    Yes, sir.
[14:50] Nana
    Could they be any more
    unlike the other children?
[14:53] Hachi
    I wasn't expecting Zero Two to join in, too.
[14:58] Zero Two (002)
    I had so much fun!
[15:00] Zero Two (002)
    I loved how naughty and rebellious that was!
[15:03] Ichigo (015)
    What were you thinking? Explain yourself.
[15:06] Zero Two (002)
    If you keep half-assing things like that,
    you'll end up like the adults one day.
[15:12] Zero Two (002)
    If you have anything you wanna say,
    you'd better spit it out while you can.
[15:21] Zero Two (002)
    Because you're all going
    to die sooner or later.
[15:32] Zorome (666)
    I'm so pissed off!
[15:33] Zorome (666)
    Why are the girls so condescending, anyway?
[15:37] Mitsuru (326)
    They look down on us boys, obviously.
[15:39] Zorome (666)
    Nobody asked for a calm
    and composed analysis!
[15:43] Zorome (666)
    Damn it. Screw it, I'm done.
[15:45] Zorome (666)
    I'm through with the girls.
[15:48] Hiro (016)
    I feel bad saying this, but I
    thought that was kind of fun.
[15:53] Zorome (666)
    What?!
[15:55] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two was laughing her heart out,
    like she was enjoying herself.
[16:00] Hiro (016)
    I'd never spared much thought
    for how girls felt before now...
[16:05] Zorome (666)
    Why bother? They're weirdo whack jobs.
[16:10] Hiro (016)
    Yeah, I don't get them at all.
[16:12] Hiro (016)
    But that's exactly why I started
    wanting to know more about her.
[16:16] Hiro (016)
    That way, I might be able
    to offer her more support.
[16:21] Mitsuru (326)
    If you're talking about Zero Two,
    you're barking up the wrong tree.
[16:25] Mitsuru (326)
    She's the ultimate pistil.
    She doesn't need your support.
[16:29] Hiro (016)
    No, Zero Two is a normal girl.
[16:32] Hiro (016)
    And it's not just her.
[16:34] Hiro (016)
    Pistils let us stamens
    handle all the controls,
[16:38] Hiro (016)
    but their frail bodies are the ones
    bearing the brunt of each battle.
[16:43] Futoshi (214)
    Oh, yeah. That must be rough.
[16:48] Hiro (016)
    Even so, they connect to the
    FRANXX and do their best,
[16:52] Hiro (016)
    placing all their trust in us.
[16:54] Hiro (016)
    Watching her like that
    really made me think...
[16:58] Hiro (016)
    I want to be stronger and
    take better care of her.
[17:05] Goro (056)
    Well, the girls are always
    giving it their all in battle.
[17:09] Goro (056)
    And if we ogle them while they are...
[17:12] Futoshi (214)
    Of course they'd hate it.
[17:17] Zorome (666)
    Hey, I'm a man, too.
[17:19] Zorome (666)
    Even I feel the need to look after
    my partner and take care of her.
[17:23] Zorome (666)
    And I don't wanna see any
    of them in pain, either.
[17:28] Goro (056)
    That means there's only
    one thing for us to do.
[17:32] Ichigo (015)
    "Die sooner or later," huh?
[17:40] Kokoro (556)
    H-Hey, you know what?
[17:43] Kokoro (556)
    I really think this can't go on!
[17:46] Kokoro (556)
    There are things that we can't do alone,
    but can do if we work with the boys!
[17:52] Kokoro (556)
    And there are lots of things
    like that, aren't there?
[17:55] Kokoro (556)
    Piloting the FRANXX is one of them!
[17:57] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah, the boys are perverts, and I have
    no idea what goes through their heads.
[18:04] Kokoro (556)
    Boys and girls are nothing alike, but that's
    why it's good for us to be together!
[18:09] Kokoro (556)
    After all, that's how...
    uh... it's born, I think.
[18:15] Kokoro (556)
    You know, like... the future, hope, and stuff.
[18:19] Kokoro (556)
    So... so...
[18:22] Ichigo (015)
    It's really unusual for
    you to be so assertive.
[18:26] Ikuno (196)
    Yeah, it surprised me.
[18:29] Ichigo (015)
    What you said did sting, though.
[18:33] Ikuno (196)
    We can't just be the ones who
    complain all the time.
[18:37] Miku (390)
    W-Wait a second! Are you
    thinking of forgiving the boys?
[18:41] Ichigo (015)
    Well, we won't get anywhere as things stand.
[18:45] Miku (390)
    Oh, really? Suit yourselves, then!
[18:47] Miku (390)
    I'm not letting this go,
    even if I'm left all alone!
[18:50] Kokoro (556)
    Wait, Miku!
[18:53] Zorome (666)
    I'm not gonna beg and plead
    for forgiveness, okay?
[18:56] Goro (056)
    You're still going on about that?
[18:59] Ichigo (015)
    Goro...
[19:02] Ichigo (015)
    Miku's missing.
[19:03] Ichigo (015)
    Please help us find her.

    Listen to that. They've all made up already.

    Well, I'm still not leaving this room.
[19:42] Miku (390)
    Is this...
[19:47] Miku (390)
    No...
[20:02] Kokoro (556)
    Miku!
[20:04] Kokoro (556)
    Thank goodness. We were so worried.
[20:07] Kokoro (556)
    What's wrong?
[20:11] Hiro (016)
    What's this room?
[20:12] Zero Two (002)
    Probably one of the rooms the
    former Squad 13 parasites used.
[20:17] Mitsuru (326)
    Former...
[20:18] Ikuno (196)
    ...Squad 13?
[20:20] Goro (056)
    Oh, of course this plantation had a defensive
    squad before we were assigned here.
[20:30] Zorome (666)
    So how come they aren't here now?
[20:33] Zorome (666)
    Why's that?
[20:37] Zero Two (002)
    They were wiped out, obviously.
[20:40] Ichigo (015)
    They couldn't come back alive.
[20:51] Goro (056)
    We won't survive unless we all
    get to know each other better.
[20:56] Goro (056)
    Let's make up, guys.
[21:02] Zorome (666)
    Well...
[21:05] Zorome (666)
    I'm sorry, okay? I apologize!
[21:08] Zorome (666)
    I'll try my best not to leer at you anymore.
[21:14] Miku (390)
    I bet you'll fail.
[21:17] Miku (390)
    I'm way too cute, after all.
[21:23] Miku (390)
    So you can do it a little,
    but don't take it too far.
[21:28] ---
    O-Okay, then...
[21:33] Miku (390)
    The vase by the window had lilacs in it.
[21:40] Miku (390)
    What were the former Squad 13 parasites
    thinking when they placed them there?
[21:48] Miku (390)
    There's no way for us to find out now,
[21:51] Miku (390)
    but the next day, we went back and
    replaced them with fresh lilacs.
[21:59] Miku (390)
    In the language of flowers, lilacs represent
    friendship, fond memories, and youth.
[22:12] Miku (390)
    Would you cut it out?
[22:13] Zorome (666)
    I didn't do anything!
[22:15] Miku (390)
    You were ogling me again, weren't you?
[22:16] Zorome (666)
    I was not!
[22:17] Miku (390)
    Ugh!
[22:28] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two, I want you to speak
    your mind with me from now on.
[22:32] Zero Two (002)
    Oh? Why is that?
[22:36] Hiro (016)
    Because I want to get to know you better.
[22:43] Zero Two (002)
    Darling... Grab on to me
    and never let go, okay?

[00:03] Goro (056)
    "Yesterday was rainy, and today is clear.
[00:06] Goro (056)
    What will tomorrow be like?"
[00:08] Goro (056)
    I'm always trying to figure
    out what your outlook is.
[00:13] Goro (056)
    I can tell what's coming, be it
    sudden squalls or clear blue skies,
[00:18] Goro (056)
    by following your gaze.
[00:20] Goro (056)
    Your forecasts are always
    simple and accurate.
[00:23] Futoshi (214)
    Guys! They're here!
[00:28] Zorome (666)
    Awesome! Which one's mine?
[00:35] Goro (056)
    You're still asking for that kiddie stuff?
[00:38] Ichigo (015)
    Wh-What does it matter?
[00:41] Zero Two (002)
    Presents?
[00:42] Hiro (016)
    Yeah. Once every year, we can
    ask Papa for the things we want,
[00:47] Hiro (016)
    and we'll get them on this particular day.
[00:50] Zero Two (002)
    Huh... What's that?
[00:53] Zero Two (002)
    A picture book?
[00:54] Hiro (016)
    A picture book?
[00:56] Hiro (016)
    Oh, nah. This is an illustrated guide.
[00:59] Hiro (016)
    Do you like picture books?
    I think we have some in the study.
[01:03] Zorome (666)
    Okay, listen up!
[01:05] Zorome (666)
    I'm gonna read Papa's message!
[01:07] Zorome (666)
    Ahem. Er...
[01:10] Zorome (666)
    "Boys and girls, your numerous
    accomplishments represent
[01:13] Zorome (666)
    a ray of hope, a harbinger of
    peace and prosperity for mankind.
[01:17] Zorome (666)
    Glory be to you noble parasites,
    who risk your lives for us."
[01:23] Zorome (666)
    Hear that?!
[01:25] Zorome (666)
    He called us "a ray of hope"!
    That makes me wanna do even better!
[03:06] Goro (056)
    Hey, what are you doing—
[03:07] Ichigo (015)
    Shh!
[03:09] Zero Two (002)
    What's this?
[03:11] Hiro (016)
    It didn't feel right that we were
    the only ones who got presents.
[03:15] Hiro (016)
    So I wanted to find something for you, too.
[03:20] Hiro (016)
    A girl called Naomi left that behind.
[03:23] Hiro (016)
    Should I not have?
[03:26] Zero Two (002)
    Nah.
[03:29] Zero Two (002)
    Thank you, darling!
[03:29] Hiro (016)
    H-Hey!
[03:31] Zero Two (002)
    I never knew getting a present from
    someone could make me this happy.
[03:35] Zero Two (002)
    I'll take good care of it!
[03:38] Hiro (016)
    Great.
[03:46] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Your bangs have grown, Ichigo.
    It'll be harder to see.
[03:49] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    You think so?
[03:51] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Anyway, I asked for another
    stuffed toy! What about you two?
[04:25] Goro (056)
    Oh, there you are.
[04:27] Goro (056)
    That was a surprise.
[04:29] Goro (056)
    I didn't know Zero Two
    smiled that way with you.
[04:34] Hiro (016)
    The heck? You were watching?
[04:36] Goro (056)
    Sorry.
[04:39] Hiro (016)
    Isn't that Ichigo's...
[04:41] Goro (056)
    Yeah. The same type of hair clip.
[04:43] Goro (056)
    But this is one I tried and failed
    to give her a long time ago.
[04:49] Goro (056)
    Remember when I told you I didn't understand
    this "love" thing you guys talk about?
[04:56] Goro (056)
    Now, I'm starting to think it means
    the other person is special to you.
[05:00] Hiro (016)
    Special? Maybe, yeah.
[05:03] Goro (056)
    You've always been Ichigo's hero.
[05:07] Goro (056)
    That's special, right?
[05:10] Hiro (016)
    Where is all this coming from?
[05:12] Goro (056)
    I'm thinking she probably feels the same
    way about you as you do about Zero Two.
[05:18] Hiro (016)
    The same?
[05:19] Goro (056)
    Like, y'know, wanting to know more
    about you, be with you more, and, uh...
[05:24] Goro (056)
    do that kiss thing with you.
[05:27] Goro (056)
    What? You really hadn't noticed?
[05:30] Hiro (016)
    B-But...
[05:33] Hiro (016)
    W-Wait, doesn't that mean you—
[05:35] Goro (056)
    I know everything.
[05:37] Goro (056)
    I know what makes her laugh,
    and what makes her cry...
[05:43] Goro (056)
    But none of them would work for me.
[05:46] Goro (056)
    You might be the only one who can, Hiro.
[05:49] Hiro (016)
    Goro... You're being kinda weird today.
[05:53] Goro (056)
    Yeah, I know it's weird.
[05:55] Goro (056)
    Watching you lately made my
    own feelings clear to me.
[06:01] Goro (056)
    It helped me realize that I love Ichigo.
[06:06] Goro (056)
    Whew! That's a load off my chest.
[06:10] Goro (056)
    Time to sleep.
[06:11] Hiro (016)
    Wait, Goro!
[06:16] Goro (056)
    But you know what?
[06:18] Goro (056)
    I'm plenty happy with the way things are.
[06:27] Ikuno (196)
    I'm turning off the lights.
[06:28] Ichigo (015)
    Oh, wait a sec.
[06:34] Ichigo (015)
    Go ahead.
[06:35] Ikuno (196)
    Goodnight.
[06:50] Hachi
    We've detected a Gutenberg-class klaxosaur
    at a distance approximately 2,000 from here.
[06:55] Nana
    It's moving slowly,
     but judging from its course,
[06:58] Nana
    we predict that it'll make
    contact with the plantation.
[07:01] Nana
    We must avoid a repeat of the
    previous attack at all costs.
[07:04] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[07:05] Nana
    Also, the target is a
    long way away this time.
[07:09] Nana
    Your units have been loaded with more
    fuel than usual, so make a note of that.
[07:17] Kokoro (556)
    Look, there's a huge thundercloud.
[07:20] Ikuno (196)
    Thundercloud?
[07:29] Hiro (016)
    What is that?
[07:32] Hachi
    Target sighted.
[07:34] Miku (390)
    It's kinda gross!
[07:36] Hachi
    All units, prepare for combat.
[07:38] Zorome (666)
    Roger that!
[07:40] Zorome & Miku
    Argentea, going in!
[08:04] Miku (390)
    What?
[08:05] Ichigo (015)
    Explosions?
[08:12] Goro (056)
    This isn't good.
[08:15] Zorome (666)
    Damn it.
[08:19] Zorome (666)
    Hey, the core's right there.
[08:23] Zorome (666)
    Gotcha!
[08:25] Goro (056)
    You idiot! Don't!
[08:29] Miku (390)
    Damn, that's hard!
[08:33] Zorome (666)
    What is up with this thing?
[08:34] Miku (390)
    I can't move!
[08:35] Goro (056)
    No!
[08:41] Mitsuru (326)
    It's activating something!
[08:43] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo! Goro!
[08:44] Ichigo (015)
    I can't move!
[08:45] Goro (056)
    Everyone get away!
[09:06] Goro (056)
    Ow...
[09:16] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Ichigo! Goro!
[09:17] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    I can't move!
[09:18] (Flashback) Goro (056)
    Everyone get away!
[09:28] Hiro (016)
    Goro.
[09:29] Goro (056)
    Hiro?!
[09:31] Hiro (016)
    Thank goodness. I finally got through to you.
[09:32] Goro (056)
    Is Ichigo okay?
[09:33] Hiro (016)
    She's fine. She got knocked out by the
    ejection, but her injuries aren't severe.
[09:38] Hiro (016)
    She's getting treated along
    with Zorome and Miku.
[09:41] Goro (056)
    Oh... good.
[09:44] Goro (056)
    Hey, Hiro. Could you contact
    the transport team for me?
[09:48] Goro (056)
    I can't operate this thing alone.
[09:51] Hiro (016)
    Goro, I want you to stay
    calm and listen to me.
[09:54] Hiro (016)
    You're inside the klaxosaur right now.
[09:59] Goro (056)
    What does that mean?
[10:00] Goro (056)
    We didn't eliminate the klaxosaur?
[10:03] Hiro (016)
    It swallowed Delphinium right as it exploded.
[10:07] Hiro (016)
    Soon after that, we were ordered to retreat,
[10:09] Hiro (016)
    so we're back at the plantation for now.
[10:13] Goro (056)
    So that's what happened.
[10:15] Futoshi (214)
    But we'll figure something out,
    so don't worry!
[10:20] Goro (056)
    Got it. I'll try to figure
    out what I can do, too.
[10:23] Hiro (016)
    Goro...
[10:25] Hiro (016)
    Sorry we retreated and left you there.
[10:28] Goro (056)
    Don't worry about it.
[10:30] Goro (056)
    Anyway, I'm wasting power here, so I'm
    gonna switch to safe mode for a bit.
[10:33] Hiro (016)
    All right. We'll get in touch again.
[10:36] Ikuno (196)
    You can't utilize a FRANXX's
    magma energy without its pistil.
[10:41] Kokoro (556)
    You mean...
[10:42] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't worry.
[10:44] Mitsuru (326)
    The FRANXX are programmed to run their
    life support systems on backup power.
[10:48] Zero Two (002)
    Then he'll die if it runs out.
[10:53] Zero Two (002)
    Well, as things stand, this plantation
     and all of us will go boom.
[11:01] Miku (390)
    Wait!
[11:02] Ikuno (196)
    Ichigo?
[11:03] Miku (390)
    You should still be in bed!
[11:05] Ichigo (015)
    What's all this about Goro getting
    swallowed by the klaxosaur?
[11:08] Zorome (666)
    I told you, he tried to save us and...
[11:11] Ichigo (015)
    Then why aren't we going
    to rescue him already?
[11:14] Ichigo (015)
    How could you turn tail like that?
[11:15] Ichigo (015)
    Even now, he's trapped inside the klaxosaur!
[11:19] Ichigo (015)
    That fool...
[11:20] Ichigo (015)
    Why'd he cut me loose? He knows
    he's helpless by himself!
[11:27] Miku (390)
    You're so annoying.
[11:28] Miku (390)
    Don't you realize that Goro's
    always looking out for you?
[11:32] Ichigo (015)
    What?
[11:33] Miku (390)
    Like that time Hiro almost died.
[11:35] Miku (390)
    You broke down immediately! And who
    do you think got you back on your feet?
[11:39] Ichigo (015)
    What gives you the right
    to run your mouth at me?
[11:41] Miku (390)
    You go around all like,
    "I'm the leader, I'm the leader,"
[11:43] Miku (390)
    but you lose your cool and
    lash out at the drop of a hat.
[11:46] Miku (390)
    Goro must have a hard time with
    you as his partner! That's my point!
[11:53] Nana
    All right. That's enough.
[11:57] Nana
    I'm glad you kids are okay.
[12:00] Hachi
    I see everyone's here.
[12:04] Hachi
    Analysis of the samples stuck on your units
[12:06] Hachi
    showed that it's a klaxosaur that vaporizes
    its bodily fluids to expand and explode.
[12:12] Kokoro (556)
    You mean Goro's stuck in its fuel right now?
[12:16] Nana
    Relax. Fortunately, the part
    that Delphinium jumped into
[12:21] Nana
    has been confirmed to be harmless to FRANXX.
[12:24] Zorome (666)
    Then I guess we rescue Goro first.
[12:27] Zorome (666)
    I owe him one, after all.
[12:29] Hachi
    Our top priority is preventing the target
    from making contact with the plantation.
[12:34] Hachi
    Estimated time of contact is
    approximately one hour from now.
[12:37] Hachi
    We'll set up a last line of defense
[12:39] Hachi
    and eliminate the klaxosaur
    before it crosses that line.
[12:43] Futoshi (214)
    What if we can't eliminate it by then?
[12:47] Hachi
    In that case, the plantation
    will open fire, as well.
[12:51] Hachi
    To protect itself, the target will use its
    internal fuel and explode several times.
[12:55] Hachi
    As long as we launch enough strikes,
    there's a chance one of them will finish it.
[13:02] Hiro (016)
    Are you saying you'll leave Goro to die?!
[13:05] Nana
    In the worst case scenario, yes.
[13:08] Ikuno (196)
    No...
[13:09] Hachi
    The operation begins in 15 minutes.
[13:13] Hachi
    All hands, prepare to sortie.
[13:20] Ichigo (015)
    Um...
[13:21] Ichigo (015)
    Please let me talk to Goro first!
[13:30] Goro (056)
    Is that water I hear?
[13:33] Goro (056)
    It's been 30 minutes since
    Hiro and the others radioed.
[13:41] Goro (056)
    There's only one thing I can do right now...
[13:45] Ichigo (015)
    Goro.
[13:45] Goro (056)
    Ichigo?
[13:46] Goro (056)
    Thank goodness! You came to!
[13:48] Ichigo (015)
    You idiot! What were you thinking,
    getting yourself swallowed whole?!
[13:52] Ichigo (015)
    Why do you always put
    yourself second like this?
[13:55] Ichigo (015)
    How are you going to get
    out of there without me?
[13:58] Ichigo (015)
    You've always been like this!
[14:00] Ichigo (015)
    Always making selfish decisions,
[14:01] Ichigo (015)
    and always coming back hurt!
[14:05] Ichigo (015)
    Why don't you lean on me a little?
[14:10] Ichigo (015)
    I'll save you.
[14:12] Ichigo (015)
    I'll save you, no matter what.
[14:15] Ichigo (015)
    So wait for me!
[14:17] Goro (056)
    Ichigo...
[14:20] Goro (056)
    Are you crying?
[14:22] Ichigo (015)
    Shut up.
[14:26] Goro (056)
    It's all right, Ichigo. I came up with a plan.
[14:30] Goro (056)
    I'm going to kill this thing
    and come home to you.
[14:35] Goro (056)
    So don't worry about me.
[14:38] Ichigo (015)
    Kill it? How?
[14:40] Goro (056)
    Can't waste any more power.
    I'm gonna hang up.
[14:42] Ichigo (015)
    Goro!
[14:44] Goro (056)
    I've got this in the bag,
    even if I'm by myself.
[14:57] Ichigo (015)
    Let me go rescue Goro!
[14:59] Ichigo (015)
    Knowing him, I bet he's thinking
    of doing something stupid!
[15:02] Ichigo (015)
    He's just acting tough! I can tell!
[15:05] Hiro (016)
    I agree! Let us go, please!
[15:08] Nana
    And how exactly do you intend to rescue him?
[15:10] Ichigo (015)
    W-Well...
[15:12] Zero Two (002)
    There was one spot.
[15:14] Zero Two (002)
    There was an exhaust hole,
    of sorts, on top of the klaxosaur.
[15:18] Zero Two (002)
    Someone could probably get
    in there if they tried.
[15:24] Hachi
    Genista and Chlorophytum are standing
    by as the last line of defense.
[15:28] Hachi
    If it looks like the target will cross it...
[15:31] Ichigo (015)
    Yes, I know.
[15:35] Hiro (016)
    To get to Delphinium, you'll have to cross
    an area of highly pressurized vapor fuel.
[15:40] Hiro (016)
    There's no guarantee that
    it's safe, even in your suit.
[15:44] Ichigo (015)
    I know.
[15:45] Ichigo (015)
    But there's a chance, right?
[15:47] Zero Two (002)
    Who knows? I wouldn't do it if I were you.
[15:50] Hiro (016)
    Hey, Zero Two!
[15:53] Ichigo (015)
    But I will.
[15:54] Ichigo (015)
    I believe in you, Zero Two!
[15:59] Zero Two (002)
    I don't dislike this sort of thing.
[16:02] Zorome (666)
    Let's go!
[16:03] Zorome (666)
    Upsy-daisy!
[16:07] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo!
[16:08] Hiro (016)
    Go get Goro for us.
[16:14] Miku (390)
    Hurry!
[16:28] Ichigo (015)
    Just you wait, Goro!
[16:41] Guard
    Why does that guy keep
    picking fights with us?
[16:43] Goro (056)
    Sick of the communal lifestyle,
[16:43] Guard
    Well, he's weak as hell,
    so it's no big deal.
[16:46] Goro (056)
    I thought I'd get to be alone if
    I made everyone else hate me.
[16:51] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Why do you keep getting into
    fights when you're so weak?
[16:54] (Flashback) Goro (056)
    Stay out of this!
[16:58] (Flashback) Guard
    C'mon, bring it!
[17:01] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Told you so.
[17:03] (Flashback) Goro (056)
    I've got this in the bag,
    even if I'm by myself.
[17:06] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Here.
[17:21] (Flashback) Goro (056)
    I never asked for your help, all right?
[17:24] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    But hey, we won.
[17:27] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Maybe we can't win alone,
    but the two of us together can.
[17:32] Goro (056)
    Yeah, I've loved Ichigo ever since then,
[17:37] Goro (056)
    and Hiro has always been right beside her.
[17:58] Goro (056)
    But I was okay with that.
[18:01] Goro (056)
    Because Hiro was special
    to me in his own way, too.
[18:12] Hiro (016)
    You two better not die!
[18:17] Miku (390)
    It's Genista and Chlorophytum!
[18:19] Ikuno (196)
    There'll be trouble if it crosses this line!
[18:21] Kokoro (556)
    It'll be fine. Believe in Ichigo.
[18:25] Goro (056)
    I used to think that I didn't mind if my
    feelings never got through to her.
[18:29] Goro (056)
    But if there's one thing I regret...
[18:44] Goro (056)
    That's more than enough to self-destruct.
[18:58] Goro (056)
    There's the backup fuel pack, too.
[19:02] Goro (056)
    This will be one hell of a present, huh?
[19:05] Goro (056)
    I just wish I could've told her...
[19:18] Goro (056)
    Ichigo?!
[19:21] Ichigo (015)
    Wow... The air's thin in here.
[19:26] Goro (056)
    Why'd you come?
[19:28] Ichigo (015)
    I said I'd save you no matter what, didn't I?
[19:31] Goro (056)
    And I told you that I'd be all right!
[19:33] Ichigo (015)
    You're an idiot, so I knew you'd try
    to fix everything by yourself.
[19:40] Ichigo (015)
    You're so headstrong,
     even though you're weak.
[19:42] Ichigo (015)
    Even though you can't do
    anything without me...
[19:44] Goro (056)
    But that doesn't mean you
    had to do this alone!
[19:46] Ichigo (015)
    You're wrong.
[19:48] Ichigo (015)
    Maybe we can't win alone, but the
    two of us together can, remember?
[19:55] Goro (056)
    You were willing to cry for me.
[19:58] Goro (056)
    I thought I was satisfied
    just knowing that...
[20:03] Goro (056)
    until a moment ago.
[20:05] Goro (056)
    But now, seeing your face as you smile at me
[20:09] Goro (056)
    is making me happier than
    anything ever has before.
[20:15] Ichigo (015)
    What's all this? Quit being gross.
[20:18] Ichigo (015)
    Let's get out of here already.
[20:22] Goro (056)
    Let's go, Ichigo!
[20:24] Ichigo (015)
    Roger!
[20:37] Hiro (016)
    They're out!
[20:37] Zorome (666)
    Hell yeah!
[20:40] Goro (056)
    Everyone, get the hell out of here!
[20:42] Miku (390)
    Huh?
[20:42] Goro (056)
    Hurry!
[21:17] Ichigo (015)
    There. All done.
[21:18] Goro (056)
    Ow...
[21:20] Goro (056)
    Thanks.
[21:23] Goro (056)
    Ichigo, where's your hair clip?
[21:27] Ichigo (015)
    H-Huh? Did I lose it?
[21:31] Goro (056)
    Here.
[21:32] Ichigo (015)
    Oh...
[21:34] Ichigo (015)
    You picked it up for me?
[21:35] Goro (056)
    Nah. This is something I wanted
    to give you, but couldn't.
[21:43] Goro (056)
    You know, I think I love you.
[21:49] Goro (056)
    Don't get so flustered.
[21:52] Goro (056)
    I just felt like telling you.
[21:56] Goro (056)
    But I don't want to think,
    "I should've done that back then."
[21:59] Goro (056)
    I don't want to regret things anymore.
[22:03] Ichigo (015)
    I-I had something to say to you, too!
[22:10] Ichigo (015)
    Thank you for being my partner.
[22:14] Ichigo (015)
    B-But, uh, I don't know how to
    respond to the love thing.
[22:20] Goro (056)
    I wasn't trying to put you on the spot.
[22:23] Goro (056)
    I'm not expecting an answer or anything.
[22:29] Goro (056)
    But let me stay like this for a while.
[22:33] Ichigo (015)
    Sure.
[22:34] Goro (056)
    Crying one minute, smiling the next...
    I don't get you at all today.
[22:41] Goro (056)
    What's the outlook for tomorrow?
[22:43] Goro (056)
    Right now, you're impossible to forecast.

[00:01] Zorome (666)
    I have the same dream over and over again.
[00:04] Zorome (666)
    In it, I'm surrounded by
    darkness for some reason,
[00:08] Zorome (666)
    staring at a distant
    bright light, and crying.
[00:11] Zorome (666)
    I dunno if these are tears of sorrow or joy,
    but they continue to flow endlessly.
[00:17] Zorome (666)
    Gradually, the light grows
    larger until it envelops me,
[00:23] Zorome (666)
    and I let out a loud scream.
[00:35] Miku (390)
    Now!
[00:52] Ichigo (015)
    Finish it off, Strelizia!
[00:54] Hiro (016)
    Right!
[00:55] Zorome (666)
    Sit back and relax, Hiro!
[00:57] Zorome (666)
    This is my time to shine!
[00:59] Zorome (666)
    Gotcha now!
[01:06] Zorome (666)
    See that? Piece of cake!
[01:08] Miku (390)
    H-Hey, hurry up and get out of...
[01:15] Miku (390)
    Why, you...
[02:48] Sage A
    My, how intriguing.
[02:51] Sage C
    It's so strange.
[02:52] Sage C
    Regardless of how they do it, they're
    linking up in ways other squads cannot.
[02:56] Sage B
    Does this mean the imbalances
    caused by individualized FRANXX
[02:59] Sage B
    can give a unique asset
    to the squad as a whole?
[03:01] Sage E
    But that's also a double-edged sword.
[03:04] Sage E
    The future we at APE exalt is
    one of calmness and uniformity.
[03:09] Sage A
    So you say they are imperfect? How ironic.
[03:13] Head
    I'm thinking it's high time we
    moved them on to the next stage.
[03:19] Sage B
    To that area, you mean?
[03:21] Vice Chairman
    We've detected klaxosaur activity in the
    depths of the Gran Crevasse area recently.
[03:27] Vice Chairman
    It is Squad 13's duty to bring
    Code 002 there safe and sound.
[03:32] Sage A
    The plan is already in motion.
[03:35] Sage A
    We must have them undergo
    maintenance in the lab at once.
[03:39] Sage D
    Before that, why don't
    we award them something?
[03:42] Head
    You mean... reward the children?
[03:44] Sage D
    Awards have been the most common way
    to inspire soldiers since ancient times.
[03:49] Sage D
    It may prove more effective with them,
    as their way of life reflects a bygone era.
[03:55] Head
    Ah, that's an interesting idea.
    I shall allow it.
[03:59] Zorome (666)
    Can we drop this already?
    I apologized, didn't I?
[04:02] Miku (390)
    You did?
[04:03] Miku (390)
    You think that was an apology?
[04:05] Miku (390)
    Your heart wasn't in it at all!
[04:08] Hiro (016)
    They're still at it?
[04:09] Zorome (666)
    Oh? And how can you be so sure it wasn't?
[04:12] Zorome (666)
    Can you read my mind? Can you?
[04:14] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two, what's wrong?
[04:17] Zero Two (002)
    Just thinking about something.
[04:20] Miku (390)
    Apologize right now!
[04:22] Zorome (666)
    Over my dead body!
[04:23] Miku (390)
    Grr! I'm gonna kill you if
    it's the last thing I do!
[04:26] Zorome (666)
    I'd love to see you try!
[04:27] Zorome (666)
    Come on, come on.
[04:29] Zorome (666)
    Can't touch me!
[04:30] Miku (390)
    Jeez, hold it!
[04:33] Zorome (666)
    Ow! Stop, stop!
[04:34] Nana
    Kids, we need to talk.
[04:36] Nana
    I bring good news.
[04:40] Nana
    Tomorrow, all of you are to
    dress in your formal attire
[04:43] Nana
    and gather in front of the
    boarding house at 0900 hours.
[04:46] Nana
    Got that?
[04:46] Futoshi (214)
    Formal?
[04:47] Ichigo (015)
    What's happening?
[04:49] Nana
    Papa values what you've achieved
    in battle so far very highly.
[04:54] Nana
    As such, though there is
    very little precedent,
[04:56] Nana
    all of you are going to be awarded medals.
[05:00] Futoshi (214)
    M-Medals?
[05:01] Zorome (666)
    What are those?
[05:02] Nana
    The ceremony will be held tomorrow,
    in the Plantation Parliament HQ.
[05:06] Ichigo (015)
    Really, Nana?
[05:07] Goro (056)
    Wait, does that mean...
[05:08] Futoshi (214)
    W-We did it, Zorome! Aren't you glad?
[05:11] Zorome (666)
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[05:13] Miku (390)
    You idiot!
[05:14] Miku (390)
    This means we'll be allowed into the city!
[05:26] Zorome (666)
    Hooray!
[05:27] Miku (390)
    My ears! Quit yelling!
[05:29] Zorome (666)
    How can I not?
[05:29] Goro (056)
    He must be really happy.
[05:31] Futoshi (214)
    As he should be. This is what
    he's been working toward.
[05:38] Nana
    Wait, Zero Two.
[05:40] Zero Two (002)
    What?
[05:41] Nana
    This is convenient timing.
[05:43] Nana
    I'll arrange for you to undergo
    tests while we're there.
[05:47] Zero Two (002)
    I hate those tests.
[05:49] Zero Two (002)
    I always feel lousy after I take them.
[05:53] Zero Two (002)
    Besides, I'm in great shape right now.
[05:55] Zero Two (002)
    So I'll pass on the tests for a while.
[06:00] Nana
    Here I thought she'd grown more obedient
    since she teamed up with a certain someone.
[06:14] Goro (056)
    We haven't worn these since
    the welcoming ceremony.
[06:17] Ichigo (015)
    Zorome, you're really owning that look today.
[06:20] Ichigo (015)
    You look pretty mature.
[06:24] Zorome (666)
    Right?
[06:25] Futoshi (214)
    He spent all morning checking
    himself out in the mirror.
[06:28] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't understand how you
    don't get bored of that.
[06:30] Zorome (666)
    Say what?
[06:33] Kokoro (556)
    But you do look better than usual.
[06:35] Zorome (666)
    Right? Right?
[06:36] Miku (390)
    Don't flatter him, Kokoro.
[06:39] Miku (390)
    With boys, it goes straight to their heads.
[06:41] Zorome (666)
    Shut it!
[06:43] Nana
    Good morning. Everyone here?
[06:52] Nana
    Come on. Hurry up.
[07:04] Zorome (666)
    Whoa!

[07:20] Mayor
    You are the first children
    to ever be welcomed here.
[07:24] Mayor
    This is a truly great honor.
[07:26] Mayor
    I hope you consider this day a
    source of pride for a long time,
[07:29] Mayor
    live up to this honor bestowed upon you,
[07:32] Mayor
    and make even further contributions
    to this plantation.
[07:36] Mayor
    Are you the team leader?
[07:38] Ichigo (015)
    Yes! I'm Code 015!
[07:41] Mayor
    You have achieved great things.
    It shows that you're an excellent leader.
[07:45] Ichigo (015)
    Thank you very much!
[07:46] Ichigo (015)
    But I couldn't have done it alone!
    Everyone in the squad contributed!
[07:52] Mayor
    Plantation 13 is honored that a former
    Nine like yourself has joined us.
[07:59] Mayor
    And you've done well to live up to
    all the expectations placed upon you.
[08:02] Hiro (016)
    Th-Thank you very much.
[08:09] Mayor
    Thank you for defending us adults.
[08:11] Mayor
    Papa is overjoyed by what you've done.
[08:14] Mayor
    Your efforts have been splendid, too.
[08:17] Mayor
    Keep it up.
[08:19] Zorome (666)
    I-I will, sir! Thank you very much!
[08:33] Hachi
    Well, I'm going to visit
    R&D before I head back.
[08:36] Hachi
    Take care of the children.
[08:38] Nana
    Got it.
[08:39] Zorome (666)
    What?
[08:40] Zorome (666)
    That was it?
[08:41] Nana
    Well, yes.
[08:42] Goro (056)
    That was over too soon.
[08:44] Futoshi (214)
    I was expecting some kind of feast.
[08:48] Ikuno (196)
    Too bad.
[08:49] Miku (390)
    Hey, since we have the chance,
    why don't we walk back?
[08:52] Kokoro (556)
    Agreed!
[08:53] Ichigo (015)
    It wasn't that far.
    We can walk, right, Nana?
[08:58] Nana
    Oh, all right.
[09:07] Zorome (666)
    This is so great.
[09:09] Zorome (666)
    When I become an adult someday,
    I'll get to live here too, right?
[09:13] Ichigo (015)
    But I just can't picture us
    "becoming adults," for some reason.
[09:17] Futoshi (214)
    Same here, actually.
[09:19] Mitsuru (326)
    There's no proof that
    we'll be able to, anyway.
[09:22] Zorome (666)
    That's because you guys have no imagination.
[09:25] Futoshi (214)
    Imagination?
[09:27] Ikuno (196)
    What you're talking about
    is called "delusion."
[09:29] Miku (390)
    You can say that again!
[09:32] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two, you called this city
    lifeless before, remember?
[09:36] Hiro (016)
    What did you mean by that?
[09:39] Zero Two (002)
    Exactly what I said.
[09:41] Hiro (016)
    You've been acting a little weird today.
[09:44] Hiro (016)
    Did something happen?
[09:45] Zero Two (002)
    Nothing.
[09:47] Zero Two (002)
    I just couldn't care less about this place.
[09:56] Zorome (666)
    I've never seen it from so close before!
[09:58] Kokoro (556)
    It's so pretty!
[10:00] Goro (056)
    That's the main energy
    source for this plantation.
[10:04] Goro (056)
    Right, Ichi—
[10:09] Goro (056)
    Should I not have done that, after all?
[10:11] Ichigo (015)
    Huh? Wh-What do you mean?
[10:13] Goro (056)
    Telling you how I felt was
    a selfish act on my part.
[10:17] Goro (056)
    So please, don't let it bother you.
[10:22] Ichigo (015)
    Okay.
[10:24] Nana
    We're heading back now.
[10:25] All
    Yes, ma'am.
[10:37] Zorome (666)
    Hup.
[10:45] Zorome (666)
    Awesome!
[11:11] Zorome (666)
    What?!
[11:15] Zorome (666)
    Seriously?
[11:19] Zorome (666)
    What a day...
[11:44] Zorome (666)
    Why isn't anybody here? Are they all asleep?
[11:49] Zorome (666)
    There's one!
[11:50] Zorome (666)
    Hey! Excuse me!
[11:55] Zorome (666)
    What? Why?
[12:19] Woman
    Oh, you've come to?
[12:25] Woman
    Thank goodness.
[12:27] Woman
    You didn't wake up even after I treated you,
[12:30] Woman
    so I was a bit worried.
[12:33] Zorome (666)
    Th-Th-Thank you so much!
[12:37] Woman
    You know how your body and other things
    are a little different from ours?
[12:41] Woman
    The medical checker just
    wouldn't work on you.
[12:44] Woman
    But I tried a bunch of things,
    like using pet mode settings,
[12:49] Woman
    and then it worked out.
[12:51] Zorome (666)
    Am I in...
[12:53] Zorome (666)
    Is this an adult's home?
[12:56] Zorome (666)
    Oh... S-Sorry.
[13:00] Woman
    My...
[13:01] Woman
    That must've been rough.
[13:03] Zorome (666)
    They're so heartless.
[13:06] Woman
    Don't worry. I'll send word right away.
[13:10] Zorome (666)
    U-Um...
[13:15] Zorome (666)
    Before you do, could we just talk for a bit?
[13:19] Zorome (666)
    You see, I've always looked up to adults,
[13:24] Zorome (666)
    so I have a bunch of questions and stuff.
[13:29] Woman
    Very well. Let us have a little chat, then.
[13:35] Woman
    I'll make us some tea.
[13:47] Zorome (666)
    What are you doing?
[13:49] Woman
    Disinfecting.
[13:51] Zorome (666)
    Huh...
[13:56] Woman
    Go ahead. Help yourself.
[14:15] Woman
    Did you like it?
[14:17] Zorome (666)
    I-It was super delicious!
[14:19] Woman
    Really? I'm glad.
[14:21] Zorome (666)
    Aren't you going to eat?
[14:24] Woman
    I suppose not.
[14:25] Woman
    There was a time when I used
    to enjoy the sense of taste,
[14:29] Woman
    but I don't really care now.
[14:31] Woman
    As long as my body gets the
    nutrition it needs, that's enough.
[14:39] Zorome (666)
    Your home is pretty huge.
[14:41] Zorome (666)
    How many people live here?
[14:43] Woman
    Two. My partner and I.
[14:46] Zorome (666)
    What? Just two people
    in this huge apartment?
[14:49] Woman
    Right.
[14:50] Zorome (666)
    Wow. And adults have partners, too?
[14:53] Woman
    That's right.
[14:54] Zorome (666)
    Does that mean...
[14:56] Zorome (666)
    Wait, it wouldn't be to pilot FRANXX.
[15:00] Zorome (666)
    What are your partners for?
[15:03] Woman
    Well, we're following an old custom.
[15:06] Woman
    You could say it's for convenience's sake.
[15:08] Zorome (666)
    Custom?
[15:10] Woman
    Apparently, pairs of men and women used
    to form special relationships in the past
[15:16] Woman
    to make things easier for
    themselves and to procreate.
[15:20] Woman
    Life must've been so
    uncomfortable back then.
[15:22] Zorome (666)
    Uncomfortable?
[15:23] Woman
    Well, they had to rely on others
    for every little thing.
[15:27] Woman
    Doesn't that sound really annoying?
[15:29] Zorome (666)
    I guess...
[15:32] Woman
    Would you like to meet my partner?
[15:34] Zorome (666)
    What? Is he here?
[15:38] Woman
    Come with me.
[15:41] Woman
    This is my partner.
[15:44] Zorome (666)
    I see...
[15:47] Zorome (666)
    That's a big smile. Is he having
    an amazing dream or something?
[15:53] Woman
    He's not dreaming.
[15:55] Woman
    He's getting his dose of happiness.
[15:59] Woman
    He's activating his brain's reward
    system to gain a sense of pleasure.
[16:03] Woman
    It's a truly, truly wonderful thing.
[16:11] Zorome (666)
    I'd rather gain it by eating
    those snacks from earlier.
[16:16] Zorome (666)
    Is something wrong?
[16:18] Woman
    I feel a bit tired.
[16:21] Woman
    Let's go back to the living room.
[16:23] Zorome (666)
    Sure.
[16:27] Zorome (666)
    Are you all right?
[16:30] Woman
    I'm sorry.
[16:31] Woman
    It's been a long time since I've talked
    with anyone so much, so I'm not used to it.
[16:36] Zorome (666)
    But you talk to your partner, don't you?
[16:40] Woman
    No. Come to think of it, I don't even
    remember what his voice sounds like.
[16:45] Zorome (666)
    You haven't talked in that long?
[16:47] Woman
    There's no need to, after all.
[16:50] Zorome (666)
    Are you on bad terms?
[16:52] Woman
    Not at all.
[16:54] Woman
    I don't think either of us is
    dissatisfied with our partner.
[16:57] Woman
    We don't meddle in each other's business,
[17:00] Woman
    which gives us the freedom to
    live our lives as we please.
[17:03] Zorome (666)
    Is that so?
[17:05] Zorome (666)
    I couldn't begin to tell you how much I'm
    forced to hear my partner's voice daily.
[17:10] Woman
    Oh?
[17:11] Zorome (666)
    And of all people, the loudest and naggiest
    girl on the squad had to be my partner.
[17:15] Zorome (666)
    Talk about unlucky.
[17:16] Zorome (666)
    She gets hysteric at the drop of the hat,
[17:18] Zorome (666)
    so it feels like we're always arguing.
[17:21] Woman
    You got matched with the wrong person, then.
    You should change your partner.
[17:26] Woman
    If there's a problem with your partner,
    doesn't it affect your missions?
[17:32] Zorome (666)
    Uh... but it doesn't really bother
    me much when we're fighting.
[17:37] Zorome (666)
    And I'm probably the only one who
    can deal with how cranky she is.
[17:40] Zorome (666)
    I don't think the other guys could.
[17:43] Woman
    Oh? If there isn't a problem,
    then I guess that's fine.
[17:47] Zorome (666)
    No problem at all! Even Miku...
[17:50] Zorome (666)
    Oh, my partner's name is Miku.
[17:53] Woman
    Name?
[17:55] Zorome (666)
    Oh, our squad has these
    nicknames for each other.
[17:58] Zorome (666)
    I'm Zorome.
[18:00] Zorome (666)
    My actual code is...
[18:01] Woman
    666.
[18:03] Zorome (666)
    Huh? Did I mention that?
[18:06] Zorome (666)
    Anyway, Miku has an awful personality,
    but her looks aren't half-bad.
[18:11] Zorome (666)
    Actually, I think she's pretty damn
    cute when she keeps her mouth shut.
[18:15] Zorome (666)
    And while we're fighting
    klaxosaurs and stuff,
[18:17] Zorome (666)
    sometimes I feel this urge to protect her.
[18:22] Zorome (666)
    It makes me wonder if that feeling
    is what lets us fight together.
[18:27] Zorome (666)
    Huh?
[18:28] Zorome (666)
    Is that why FRANXX are built to
    be operated by male-female pairs?
[18:34] Zorome (666)
    Are you all right?
[18:36] Woman
    Yes, I'm fine.
[18:38] Woman
    But I'm really tired now, so I'll send
    word and ask someone to pick you up.
[18:43] Zorome (666)
    Oh, okay.
[18:45] Zorome (666)
    Fair enough...
[18:51] Woman
    Yes.
[18:52] Woman
    I checked with him,
    so there's no doubt about it.
[18:58] Woman
    They say they'll be here right away.
[19:01] Zorome (666)
    Thank you.
[19:03] Woman
    Is something the matter?
[19:08] Zorome (666)
    Huh?
[19:09] Woman
    Are you still hurt somewhere?
[19:11] Zorome (666)
    No, I'm fine.
[19:14] Woman
    Then why?
[19:17] Zorome (666)
    I don't know.
[19:19] Woman
    But...
[19:20] Zorome (666)
    I don't know why.
[19:23] Zorome (666)
    I don't know why, but even though
    this is the first time I've met you,
[19:28] Zorome (666)
    you felt really familiar somehow.
[19:30] Zorome (666)
    And then...
[19:33] Woman
    What made you feel that way?
[19:36] Zorome (666)
    I don't know.
[19:40] Woman
    I believe this is the first
    time I've really met you.
[19:46] Zorome (666)
    Right.
[19:47] Zorome (666)
    But it feels like...
[19:50] Zorome (666)
    How do I say this?
[19:51] Zorome (666)
    Like, you know...
[19:54] Zorome (666)
    Someone's always been watching over me.
[19:59] Zorome (666)
    Gentle and kind, like they're
    always there to protect me.
[20:07] Woman
    Then you really are mistaken.
[20:10] Woman
    I can't protect you.
[20:14] Woman
    You...
[20:17] Woman
    You kids are the ones protecting us, right?
[20:24] Zorome (666)
    We are, aren't we?
[20:25] Woman
    Right. You're protecting this plantation.
[20:29] Zorome (666)
    Yeah.
[20:31] Woman
    That's something to be proud of.
[20:33] Zorome (666)
    And I'll keep protecting it.
[20:35] Zorome (666)
    I'll fight more.
[20:37] Zorome (666)
    I'll fight and fight,
    kill all the klaxosaurs,
[20:42] Zorome (666)
    and then one day,
    I'll become an adult, right?
[20:47] Zorome (666)
    So, when I'm able to live in this city too,
[20:51] Zorome (666)
    would you, uh, be my fam...
[20:55] Zorome (666)
    W-Would you be my friend?
[20:59] Woman
    That's obviously out of the question.
[21:03] Zorome (666)
    Out of the question?
[21:04] Woman
    After all, you are...
[21:15] Woman
    I treated his wounds and fed him a little.
[21:21] Guard
    Don't make us waste our time.
[21:23] Guard
    This isn't a place infected
    children like you should enter.
[21:27] Guard
    Cut it out.
[21:28] Guard
    They're basically victims in all this, too.
[21:31] Guard
    The poor, pitiful things.
[21:37] Ichigo (015)
    They found Zorome, apparently.
[21:42] Miku (390)
    That jerk... Making us all worry.
[21:46] Miku (390)
    I sentence him to clean
    the bath for one week!
[21:52] Zorome (666)
    We're not pitiful.
[22:02] Miku (390)
    Hey! Take this seriously!
[22:05] Zorome (666)
    Huh? What are you keeping watch for?
[22:07] Zorome (666)
    This ain't a show!
[22:08] Miku (390)
    You won't take this seriously unless I do,
[22:08] Zorome (666)
    Why did that adult woman feel so familiar?
[22:10] Miku (390)
    and you might get lost again.
[22:13] Zorome (666)
    I thought about it a bunch
    of times after that day,
[22:14] Zorome (666)
    Like I'd get lost here!
[22:16] Zorome (666)
    but in the end, I never found an answer.
[22:17] Miku (390)
    Why must I have such a useless kid?
    Life is so unfair!
[22:20] Zorome (666)
    Eventually, I stopped thinking
    about it, and even forgot about her.
[22:21] Zorome (666)
    Why're you acting like you're my guardian?
[22:24] Miku (390)
    Gross! I'm gonna kill you!
[22:26] Zorome (666)
    And ever since, I've stopped
    having that dream.
[22:27] Zorome (666)
    Let's see you try!
[22:30] Miku (390)
    Hold it!

[00:06] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I've been chosen to represent
    all of us children.
[00:09] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    My code is 016.
[00:11] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I'll continue to show my gratitude to Papa
[00:12] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't.
[00:14] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't give him that look of admiration.
[00:14] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    and do my best so we can
    all work toward our goals.
[00:21] Mitsuru (326)
    He's a filthy traitor!
[00:26] Zorome (666)
    How unusual.
[00:29] Zorome (666)
    You never oversleep.
[00:31] Futoshi (214)
    Did you have a nice dream?
    Your face is all red.
[00:36] Zorome (666)
    Well, we're going ahead.
[00:38] Futoshi (214)
    Man, I'm starving!
[00:42] Mitsuru (326)
    If you place your hopes in anything,
    they will be betrayed.
[00:46] Mitsuru (326)
    Promises will go unfulfilled,
    and faith will be let down.
[00:50] Mitsuru (326)
    That's why I swore to myself that
[00:54] Mitsuru (326)
    I wouldn't expect anything
    from anyone anymore.
[00:56] Mitsuru (326)
    That way, I would never be hurt again.
[02:37] Ichigo (015)
    We killed 25 in total today.
[02:41] Ichigo (015)
    The enemies were all the same type of
    Conrad-class, just like on the other days.
[02:45] Nana
    Thanks for the report.
[02:47] Nana
    Due to your efforts, the S-Planning
    in this area is proceeding smoothly.
[02:51] Hachi
    That said, you need to improve your
    kill count, codes 326 and 196.
[02:56] Hachi
    Your Parasite Score is dropping, too.
[02:59] Mitsuru (326)
    I just wasn't feeling well today.
[03:01] Hachi
    That isn't enough to explain this.
[03:04] Hachi
    Anyway, keep it up and defend the
    work area from tomorrow onward, too.
[03:09] Hachi
    That is all. You're dismissed.
[03:12] Hachi
    Twenty-five... That takes their kill
    count in this area to over 90.
[03:18] Nana
    Yes.
[03:19] Nana
    Their kills over the past fortnight are
    3.7 times greater than in their first.
[03:24] Nana
    It'd be unthinkable for any other
    team to achieve such rapid growth.
[03:28] Nana
    If their simultaneous puberty
    and competitive spirit,
[03:31] Nana
    the things you called "problems,"
[03:33] Nana
    are drawing out the full
    abilities of these children...
[03:37] Hachi
    Impossible. That would be a total
    refutation of our prior methods.
[03:42] Nana
    But what if that's exactly
    what Dr. Franxx is after?
[03:51] Zorome (666)
    What are they even doing here?
[03:54] Zorome (666)
    Nana called it S-Planning or something.
[03:56] Hiro (016)
    Digging for something, maybe?
    That's an excavator, right?
[04:00] Zero Two (002)
    It's probably nothing good.
[04:04] Zero Two (002)
    I'm about to choke from
    the stench of klaxosaurs.
[04:07] Futoshi (214)
    The fact that we're on this special mission
    proves that we've grown stronger.
[04:12] Kokoro (556)
    It's all thanks to you. You always
    try so hard to help carry my burden.
[04:17] Futoshi (214)
    O-Of course I do!
[04:19] Futoshi (214)
    If anything happened to you,
    it'd be my responsibility!
[04:23] Kokoro (556)
    Thank you, Futoshi.
[04:26] Futoshi (214)
    Kokoro...
[04:28] Futoshi (214)
    H-Hey, I'll keep working to be
    the best partner you could have...
[04:35] Futoshi (214)
    So... could you promise to
    be my partner forever?!
[04:43] Kokoro (556)
    Sure. I promise.
[04:45] Futoshi (214)
    Really?
[04:47] Futoshi (214)
    It's a promise, okay? I'll protect
    you always and forever!
[04:52] Miku (390)
    Could you give it a rest?
    You're starting to gross me out.
[04:56] Zorome (666)
    Just cut the comms. I can
    feel my ears rotting off.
[04:59] Futoshi (214)
    You overheard all that? That's dirty!
[05:03] Ichigo (015)
    Seven enemies closing in from nine o'clock.
[05:06] Ichigo (015)
    They're the same Conrad-class klaxosaurs.
[05:08] Goro (056)
    Again? Do they have a nest nearby?
[05:11] Ichigo (015)
    All units, prepare for combat!
[05:17] Ichigo (015)
    What's wrong, Chlorophytum?
[05:19] Ikuno (196)
    Hey, Mitsuru!
[05:21] Ikuno (196)
    Mitsuru?!
[05:24] Hachi
    The Child Fever...
[05:25] Hachi
    It came sooner than expected.
[05:27] Hachi
    It's a good thing the others could take
    out the enemy without Chlorophytum.
[05:31] Nana
    For now, I'll give him an antipyretic.
[05:33] Nana
    It's only a stopgap measure, but it
    should show an effect by tomorrow.
[05:39] Hachi
    Code 326 has already had the procedure, huh?
[05:43] Mitsuru (326)
    He's always had a frail body.
[05:45] Ichigo (015)
    But Mitsuru was the only one who received
    that injection and came back.
[05:50] Miku (390)
    What are you talking about?
[05:51] Code:190
    The Elixir Injection,
[05:53] Code:190
    a highly concentrated drug that induces
    more yellow blood cell production.
[05:56] Code:190
    It greatly increases one's parasite aptitude.
[06:00] Miku (390)
    All that aside, has Mitsuru
    always been that way?
[06:04] Goro (056)
    He didn't used to be.
[06:06] Goro (056)
    He would always follow Hiro around.
[06:08] Futoshi (214)
    No way! That's the biggest
    shocker I've heard in a while!
[06:12] Zorome (666)
    So how'd he end up butting heads
    with him all the time, then?
[06:16] Goro (056)
    I have no idea, either.
[06:20] Goro (056)
    But I think it started not long
     before he took the injection.
[06:24] Goro (056)
    Come to think of it, Hiro changed
    a little back then, too.
[06:28] Kokoro (556)
    The Elixir Injection has a
    survival rate of 15%, right?
[06:34] Kokoro (556)
    I didn't know Mitsuru had
    taken such a risky injection.
[06:43] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    I wanna be like you, Hiro.
[06:47] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    I want to fight together
    with you in a FRANXX.
[06:51] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    But they say I can't if I stay
    like this, because I'm too weak.
[06:55] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    If I take that injection and come back alive,
[06:57] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    will you pilot a FRANXX with me, Hiro?
[07:11] Mitsuru (326)
    Damn it!
[07:14] Nana
    Okay, you seem to be out
    of the woods for now.
[07:18] Mitsuru (326)
    Let me pilot a FRANXX.
[07:20] Nana
    It might be too early. Wait a bit—
[07:22] Mitsuru (326)
    Let me pilot.
[07:33] Hachi
    This doesn't look good.
[07:34] Hachi
    If this keeps up, he might
    become a pruning target.
[07:41] All
    "Partner shuffle"?
[07:43] Nana
    This isn't a order. It's simply
    an option available to you.
[07:47] Nana
    Take this chance to talk
    it out with your partners,
[07:49] Nana
    and if anyone wants to try the shuffle, ask.
[07:54] Futoshi (214)
    We don't need this shuffle.
[07:57] Futoshi (214)
    After all, I've already promised
    to protect you forever.
[08:00] Futoshi (214)
    Right, Kokoro?
[08:02] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah...
[08:06] Hiro (016)
    Is something bothering you, Zero Two?
[08:11] Hiro (016)
    Remember when I asked you
    to speak your mind with me
[08:16] Hiro (016)
    because I wanted to get to know you better?
[08:20] Zero Two (002)
    Did you?
[08:21] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[08:23] Hiro (016)
    So if anything's weighing on
    your mind right now, tell me—
[08:29] Zero Two (002)
    That's a pain, honestly.
[08:32] Zero Two (002)
    We can understand each other
    just fine by piloting Strelizia.
[08:38] Ikuno (196)
    Give it a rest already.
[08:40] Ikuno (196)
    You know what caused this mess, don't you?
[08:44] Mitsuru (326)
    What are you trying to say?
[08:46] Ikuno (196)
    Drop the act, would you?
[08:48] Mitsuru (326)
    Stop it.
[08:49] Ikuno (196)
    It takes courage to face up
    to others and to yourself, huh?
[08:53] Mitsuru (326)
    Seriously, what's your point?
[08:54] Ikuno (196)
    You want to be acknowledged,
    but not by Papa or the adults—
[08:58] Mitsuru (326)
    Shut up! I told you to drop it!
[09:05] Ikuno (196)
    That suits you much better than
    acting all cool and aloof.
[09:09] Ikuno (196)
    But I'm not like you.
[09:13] Nana
    So, is there anyone who wants to try
    riding with a different partner?
[09:18] Ikuno (196)
    Let me try a pistil-to-pistil
    connection, please.
[09:21] Nana
    Pistil-to-pistil? But...
[09:24] Ikuno (196)
    I want to try it out as a backup plan for
    emergencies when we've lost a stamen.
[09:28] Ikuno (196)
    Would you help me, Ichigo?
[09:30] Ichigo (015)
    What? Me?
[09:32] Ikuno (196)
    Please.
[09:33] Ichigo (015)
    Sure, I guess.
[09:35] Nana
    Very well. Let's try it.
[09:37] Nana
    Anyone else?
[09:41] Kokoro (556)
    Let me try riding with Mitsuru.
[09:45] Futoshi (214)
    What? But Kokoro...
[09:46] Futoshi (214)
    Y-You promised...
[09:51] Kokoro (556)
    I'm sorry, Futoshi.
[09:57] Announcer
    160 seconds have passed since
    connection commencement.
[09:59] Announcer
    Both units show no change in numbers.
[10:03] Ikuno (196)
    How's it look, Ichigo?
[10:05] Ichigo (015)
    No good. I don't feel a thing.
[10:07] Announcer
    Delphinium's numbers remain unchanged.
[10:09] Announcer
    Timing out.
[10:11] Announcer
    Genista's score has crossed
    the minimum required.
[10:14] Announcer
    It remains in the lower range,
     but it is stable.
[10:16] Nana
    I suppose that'll do for now.
[10:19] Ichigo (015)
    I knew it wouldn't work without a boy.
[10:24] Ikuno (196)
    I was serious, you know.
[10:35] Ikuno (196)
    Laugh at me if you must.
[10:40] Futoshi (214)
    Why? Did I do something wrong?
[10:44] Futoshi (214)
    I tried my hardest for Kokoro's sake!
[10:46] Zorome (666)
    Maybe that got on her nerves.
    Also, lose some weight.
[10:50] Goro (056)
    But I wonder what Kokoro was thinking.
[10:53] Hiro (016)
    She's really nice, so she must've felt
    she had to do something for Mitsuru.
[10:57] Zorome (666)
    Especially since he's so miserable.
[11:00] Futoshi (214)
    I'm clearly the most miserable one here!
[11:04] Goro (056)
    Calm down, Futoshi!
[11:07] Futoshi (214)
    Wait! Do you think I'm pathetic?
[11:10] Goro (056)
    H-Hey, Futoshi...
[11:12] Mitsuru (326)
    What does it matter who our partners are?
[11:16] Futoshi (214)
    Like you'd have any idea how I feel!
[11:22] Mitsuru (326)
    This is a pain.
[11:24] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru, try to understand how Futoshi feels.
[11:33] Mitsuru (326)
    What gives you the right to say that?
[11:41] Futoshi (214)
    Whenever I think about Kokoro,
[11:44] Futoshi (214)
    I feel this tightness in my chest.
[11:48] Futoshi (214)
    But now that tightness hurts...
[11:51] Futoshi (214)
    What is this?
[11:54] Hiro (016)
    I hear you.
[12:04] Kokoro (556)
    Look, flowers. Don't they smell nice?
[12:07] Mitsuru (326)
    What are you playing at?
[12:10] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru...
[12:13] Kokoro (556)
    Why do you think humans
     stopped having children?
[12:17] Mitsuru (326)
    Probably because we don't need to anymore.
[12:19] Kokoro (556)
    Really? Wasn't having a baby the
    most natural thing in the past?
[12:26] Mitsuru (326)
    You shouldn't waste time thinking
    about unnecessary things.
[12:29] Mitsuru (326)
    One look at the adults makes it clear.
[12:32] Mitsuru (326)
    We don't need others to live.
[12:36] Mitsuru (326)
    Why did you volunteer to be my partner?
[12:39] Mitsuru (326)
    Futoshi hates me now,
    and it's a massive pain.
[12:43] Mitsuru (326)
    Was it out of pity?
[12:44] Kokoro (556)
    No! No, it's not like that.
[12:49] Kokoro (556)
    Look, you should really—
[12:56] Announcer
    We've detected what appears to be a
    Gutenberg-class klaxosaur to the SSW.
[13:00] Announcer
    It's approaching us at
    80 kilometers per hour.
[13:02] Hachi
    Set up a defensive line 500 meters from
    the S-Planning and neutralize the target.
[13:08] Hachi
    Genista and Chlorophytum
    will act as rear support.
[13:11] Futoshi (214)
    Hold it, Mitsuru!
[13:13] Futoshi (214)
    Promise me that you'll protect
    Kokoro, no matter what!
[13:16] Mitsuru (326)
    Promise?
[13:18] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't be ridiculous.
[13:19] Futoshi (214)
    Look, you...
[13:20] Kokoro (556)
    Wait, Futoshi. I'll be fine.
[13:25] Futoshi (214)
    Be careful out there, Kokoro.
[13:27] Futoshi (214)
    What's done is done. I'll do
    my best together with Ikuno.
[13:31] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah.
[13:32] Futoshi (214)
    So you... do your be—
[13:46] Miku (390)
    That thing is huge!
[13:47] Zero Two (002)
    Finally, one worth fighting!
[13:49] Ichigo (015)
    Hold it!
[13:59] Hiro (016)
    No good. Its core is too deep inside.
[14:01] Zero Two (002)
    Sounds fun!
[14:02] Hiro (016)
    Wait, Zero Two!
[14:14] Ichigo (015)
    You okay?
[14:15] Zero Two (002)
    Mind your own business!
[14:16] Miku (390)
    That girl...
[14:20] Miku (390)
    Where did these come from?
[14:25] Goro (056)
    It's a collective mass of the Conrad-class
    klaxosaurs we've been fighting.
[14:30] Goro (056)
    Even when attacked, they recombine
    and close the opening.
[14:38] Zero Two (002)
    You damn monster!
[14:43] Zero Two (002)
    Don't stop me, darling!
[14:44] Hiro (016)
    Don't rush it! Calm down!
[14:48] Hiro (016)
    What do we do, Ichigo?
    We'll never get anywhere like this.
[14:51] Kokoro (556)
    We need to shoot at it, Ichigo.
[14:53] Kokoro (556)
    Genista could separate
    it with close-range fire.
[14:57] Miku (390)
    Nice idea! That'll expose the core!
[15:00] Miku (390)
    Go ahead and fire a round into it!
[15:02] Ichigo (015)
    But that plan's too risky
    for Genista right now.
[15:05] Kokoro (556)
    All our lives are at risk.
[15:07] Kokoro (556)
    We're a team, aren't we?
[15:10] Ichigo (015)
    Fine. But don't get reckless.
[15:12] Kokoro (556)
    Roger.
[15:20] Ichigo (015)
    Oh, no! Some got past!
[15:22] Ikuno (196)
    Let's go.
[15:23] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah.
[15:30] Futoshi (214)
    Ikuno, you're too tense. Loosen up a little.
[15:41] Kokoro (556)
    No need to rush, Mitsuru.
[15:43] Mitsuru (326)
    I know!
[15:48] Hiro (016)
    You okay?
[15:49] Kokoro (556)
    Thank you, Hiro.
[15:54] Hiro (016)
    Hang in there, Mitsuru.
[15:59] Mitsuru (326)
    Why are you always so...
[16:03] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru?
[16:06] Futoshi (214)
    Kokoro!
[16:08] Announcer
    Genista's positive pulse is
    dropping below minimum.
[16:20] Ichigo (015)
    Run!
[16:27] Ikuno (196)
    Are you okay?
[16:28] Kokoro (556)
    Th-Thank you, Ikuno, Futoshi!
[16:43] Ichigo (015)
    Change of plans! Miku and
    I will stop this thing!
[16:47] Ichigo (015)
    Chlorophytum, take care of Genista!
[16:49] Futoshi (214)
    I'll protect Kokoro, no matter what!
[16:54] Kokoro (556)
    Let's start over, Mitsuru.
[16:59] Mitsuru (326)
    Forget it.
[17:02] Mitsuru (326)
    If you place your hopes in me,
    you'll only be let down in the end.
[17:06] Mitsuru (326)
    I'm just incompetent.
[17:08] Kokoro (556)
    You're wrong!
[17:11] Kokoro (556)
    You're not incompetent.
[17:14] Hachi
    What are you doing, Genista?
    Recommence connecting!
[17:16] Hachi
    Do you realize the situ—
[17:18] Announcer
    Genista has entered radio silence.
[17:20] Hachi
    What are they thinking?
[17:22] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru, you can rely on
    others more, you know.
[17:27] Kokoro (556)
    I'll believe in you,
[17:29] Kokoro (556)
    so you believe in me, too.
[17:33] Mitsuru (326)
    Are you kidding me?
[17:36] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    ...will you pilot a FRANXX with me, Hiro?
[17:39] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yeah, I promise!
[17:44] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    Hiro, I gave it my all.
[17:47] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    I'm stronger now.
[17:48] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    I can fight with you.
[17:51] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    I kept my end of our promise.
[17:53] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    With you...
[17:55] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    Hiro, I...
[18:00] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Promise? What promise, again?
[18:03] Mitsuru (326)
    Believing in someone will
    only get you betrayed!
[18:07] Mitsuru (326)
    I was a fool for expecting anything from him!
[18:11] Mitsuru (326)
    Why?
[18:12] Mitsuru (326)
    Why make that promise if you
    were going to forget about it?
[18:23] Kokoro (556)
    You were deeply hurt, huh?
[18:26] Kokoro (556)
    So deeply that one normally
    wouldn't be able to recover.
[18:31] Kokoro (556)
    But, you know,
[18:32] Kokoro (556)
    I've betrayed and hurt someone, too.
[18:37] Kokoro (556)
    I've even broken a promise.
[18:40] Kokoro (556)
    I'm not the nice, gentle girl
    that you all think I am.
[18:44] Kokoro (556)
    So if someone were to betray me,
[18:48] Kokoro (556)
    I don't think I'd have any right to
    complain or blame them for it.
[18:54] Mitsuru (326)
    So I should forgive him, too?
[18:56] Kokoro (556)
    That's for you to decide.
[18:59] Kokoro (556)
    What I'm trying to say is,
[19:01] Kokoro (556)
    these things happen with us.
[19:05] Kokoro (556)
    We're not perfect like the adults.
[19:08] Kokoro (556)
    But still, I want to have
    relationships with people.
[19:12] Kokoro (556)
    I want to laugh and cry together with others.
[19:21] Ikuno (196)
    Hurry up, Mitsuru!
[19:23] Kokoro (556)
    I believe in you, Mitsuru.
[19:27] Mitsuru (326)
    What are you...
[19:31] Announcer
    Genista's negative pulse
    ratio is rising rapidly.
[19:35] Announcer
    At this rate, it will
    transition to stampede mode.
[19:38] Nana
    Stop it! It's too dangerous for you kids!
[19:42] Ikuno (196)
    Don't, Kokoro!
[19:45] Mitsuru (326)
    Kokoro!
[19:55] Futoshi (214)
    Stop, Kokoro!
[20:04] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru?
[20:06] Mitsuru (326)
    You do the craziest things sometimes, huh?
[20:10] Kokoro (556)
    But...
[20:11] Mitsuru (326)
    How can you trust someone else so much?
[20:14] Mitsuru (326)
    Doesn't it scare you?
[20:20] Mitsuru (326)
    You're unbelievable.
[20:26] Kokoro (556)
    Sorry we're late, everyone!
[20:28] All
    Kokoro!
[20:30] Futoshi (214)
    That Mitsuru... All right!
[20:43] Mitsuru (326)
    Go!
[20:50] Kokoro (556)
    Now!
[21:14] Futoshi (214)
    Hey, Mitsuru!
[21:15] Futoshi (214)
    That was so dangerous! Why?
[21:17] Kokoro (556)
    Futoshi...
[21:19] Futoshi (214)
    Why'd you make Kokoro do that?!
[21:22] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru!
[21:24] Futoshi (214)
    Why didn't you dodge it?
[21:26] Mitsuru (326)
    Do you realize how unreasonable you're being?
[21:28] Futoshi (214)
    Aren't you a man?
[21:30] Futoshi (214)
    Hurting a girl is the
    worst thing a man can do!
[21:33] Futoshi (214)
    If you make Kokoro cry,
    I'll make you pay, okay?!
[21:38] Mitsuru (326)
    I promise.
[21:43] Mitsuru (326)
    I promise to protect Kokoro from now on.
[21:46] Mitsuru (326)
    Happy now?
[21:49] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru...
[21:53] Futoshi (214)
    I loved... I loved Kokoro!
[22:06] Zero Two (002)
    Don't worry. We'll always be together...
[22:11] Zero Two (002)
    Until the day we die.
[22:17] Mitsuru (326)
    "These things happen with us," she said,
[22:23] Mitsuru (326)
    and she was probably right.
[22:28] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't know if I'll ever
    be able to forgive Hiro,
[22:32] Mitsuru (326)
    but I do know that these things will
    surely keep happening between us all.
[22:42] Mitsuru (326)
    When I woke up the next morning,
    my temperature was back to normal.

    Where I came from doesn't matter to me.
[00:14] Hiro (016)
    All I care about is living every
    moment now to its fullest.
[00:19] Miku (390)
    Hey, where is it? I don't see it at all.
[00:23] Ikuno (196)
    Did you really spot it?
[00:25] Goro (056)
    I definitely did.
[00:29] Hiro (016)
    That's the defining feature of being human.
[00:34] Zero Two (002)
    I knew it. No picture books.
[00:37] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two feels the same way,
[00:40] Hiro (016)
    or so I thought.
[00:42] Futoshi (214)
    I see it! Over there!
[00:45] Ichigo (015)
    Goro was right. That's...
[00:48] Hiro (016)
    Yeah. The Garden.
SIGN    Parasite Development Facility: Garden
[02:27] Hiro (016)
    This is the place known as
    Garden, where we grew up.
[02:31] Hiro (016)
    It's a parasite development facility where
    hundreds upon hundreds of children live.
[02:36] Hiro (016)
    Then there's this research hub that towers
    over the Garden and looks down upon it.
SIGN    Nursery 3: Laboratory
[02:41] Hiro (016)
    We called it the Lab.
[02:44] Miku (390)
    I saw the Lab every day from afar,
    but I'd never gone inside before.
[02:47] Kokoro (556)
    Very, very few children actually
    got to come here, right?
[02:51] Futoshi (214)
    I think Hiro came here a few times.
[02:54] Hiro (016)
    Yeah. I was a designated special
    research subject back then.
[02:58] Zorome (666)
    Peh. Damn teacher's pet.
[03:00] Futoshi (214)
    And Mitsuru, too, I guess.
[03:02] Hiro (016)
    What? Mitsuru, too?
[03:06] Nana
    Listen up. The reason we're here
    is to run tests on you all.
[03:11] Nana
    I'm sorry to say that this
    won't be a homecoming.
[03:14] Nana
    You are hereby banned
    from entering the Garden.
[03:16] Ichigo (015)
    Tests?
[03:18] Goro (056)
    What tests would need us
    to come here, of all places?
[03:21] Hiro (016)
    I'm pretty sure we're just tagging along.
[03:25] Hachi
    Code 002, you in particular
    will undergo thorough testing.
[03:30] Zero Two (002)
    I can't be bothered.

    This is an order. We can't
    put it off any longer.
[03:38] Nine Alpha
    Oh, hey!
[03:40] Nine Alpha
    If it isn't Nine Iota.
[03:44] Nine Alpha
    Fancy running into you here.
    What a coincidence.
[03:48] Nine Alpha
    Or not. You're here for
    maintenance, too, right?
[03:58] Nine Alpha
    Glad to see you haven't changed.

    Who's that?
[04:01] Miku (390)
    Beats me. But he's kinda hot.

    Please escort her to

[04:18] Ichigo (015)
    "You-know-where"?
[04:19] Nine Alpha
    Surely you know where all the plantations
    on this continent are currently headed.

    I'll fill you in later.
[04:30] Ichigo (015)
    Okay.
[04:31] Nine Alpha
    Anyway...
[04:33] Nine Alpha
    I'm relieved to see Iota's
    fitting in with you guys.
[04:37] Hiro (016)
    Iota? You mean Zero Two?
[04:40] Nine Alpha
    Hey, we meet again.
[04:43] Nine Alpha
    That's right. She used to be one of us Nines.
[04:47] Hiro (016)
    Is that... so?
[04:49] Nine Alpha
    I thought she'd be too much for an ordinary
    squad to handle, so I was surprised.
[04:55] Nine Alpha
    How did you manage to tame her?
[04:58] Hiro (016)
    "Tame"?

    Zero Two is one of us.
[05:03] Nine Alpha
    Wow, she must've taken a real liking to you.

    I see the "special forces" haven't
    been taught basic etiquette.

    I fully realize now that I'd much rather
    fight with Zero Two than you guys.
[05:20] Nine Alpha
    I see, I see.

    You're a bit different from the
    parasites in other squads, huh?
[05:27] Nine Alpha
    So that's why Iota's with you.

    Wha...
[05:36] Goro (056)
    Hey!
[05:38] Nana
    It's time to go, kids.
[05:44] Nine Alpha
    I've developed an interest in you guys, too.
[05:47] Nine Alpha
    I'd love to be part of your squad sometime.
[05:51] Ichigo (015)
    Sadly, we only have space in the attic.
    It wouldn't befit elites like you.
[05:55] Ichigo (015)
    But if that's okay, you're welcome any time.
[05:59] Nine Alpha
    So proud and dignified...
[06:26] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Zero Two, did something happen recently?
[06:30] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Instead of bearing it all yourself,
    why not talk to me?
[06:33] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Aren't we partners?
[06:37] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Kiss me.
[06:39] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Huh?
[06:41] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Kiss me now.
[06:44] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    O-Okay...
[07:01] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Zero Tw—
[07:01] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Never mind.
[07:05] Goro (056)
    I'm done.
[07:06] Goro (056)
    You were right. They only ran
    the simplest of tests on us.
[07:11] Zero Two (002)
    I said don't touch me!
[07:15] Zero Two (002)
    Get away from me!
[07:21] Hiro (016)
    I'm thinking of going to
    the Garden after this.
[07:24] Goro (056)
    What? We're forbidden from going there.
[07:27] Hiro (016)
    I want to let Naomi know I found a partner.
[07:36] Zero Two (002)
    Damn you!
[07:46] Nana
    Don't cause any more trouble for me.
[08:01] Hiro (016)
    You all didn't have to come along.
[08:04] Kokoro (556)
    Sorry, Futoshi.
[08:08] Futoshi (214)
    It's fine! You're always welcome!
[08:09] Zorome (666)
    It wouldn't be fair if you
    got to sneak out by yourself.
[08:12] Miku (390)
    Yeah. And we're here now anyway,
    so we might as well.
[08:35] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Ichigo, did you finish reading this?
[08:37] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Yeah, but I didn't get it at all.
[08:42] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Same here.
[08:43] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    This book mentions a "holy tree."
[08:46] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Holy tree?
[08:48] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Apparently, it's talking about the mistletoe.
[08:51] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I hear there's one in the Garden, too.
[08:53] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I hope I get to see it someday.
[08:59] Goro (056)
    It hasn't even been six months
    since we left this place, right?
[09:04] Goro (056)
    Yet it feels like the distant past.
[09:12] Ikuno (196)
    Come with me.
[09:19] Zorome (666)
    I-Is that how we used to be?
[09:23] Futoshi (214)
    I-I don't think so.
[09:30] Goro (056)
    That was the same type of injection
    as the ones we were administered.
[09:34] Kokoro (556)
    They're starting to give parasite
    injections to kids so young?
[09:38] Woman
    Indeed.
[09:40] Woman
    We've started injecting more concentrated
    doses of yellow blood cells than before.
[09:45] Woman
    The klaxosaurs have grown
    more active lately, you know?
[09:49] Woman
    So the system's being retooled to produce
    more capable and obedient parasites.
[09:55] Woman
    Also...
[09:56] Woman
    You're the parasites of Squad 13, yes?
[09:59] Woman
    I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed in here.

[10:06] Hiro (016)
    Code 703 been back here?
[10:08] Woman
    Code 703? No.
[10:11] Woman
    Once a parasite leaves
     this place, they never return.
[10:19] Ikuno (196)
    I had a feeling that'd be the case.
[10:22] Zorome (666)
    Aw, we were thrown out.
[10:22] Miku (390)
    Where'd Naomi go, then?
[10:26] Hiro (016)
    Thinking back, that's how it always was.
[10:28] Hiro (016)
    In this facility, several children
    who lived with us vanished one day.
[10:34] Hiro (016)
    We asked the adults about it,
    but they wouldn't tell us a thing.
[10:39] Hiro (016)
    So I eventually came to realize
[10:43] Hiro (016)
    that none of us would ever become adults.
[10:52] Hiro (016)
    A mistletoe...
[10:56] Hiro (016)
    This really is the place!
[10:58] Hiro (016)
    Have I been here before?
[11:03] Goro (056)
    Why'd Hiro ask us to head back before him?
[11:06] Goro (056)
    Where's he going this time?
[11:09] Ichigo (015)
    Beats me.
[11:11] Kokoro (556)
    Where do you think we came from?
[11:15] Zorome (666)
    Huh?
[11:16] Miku (390)
    Where'd that come from? Papa and
    the rest made us, obviously.
[11:22] Kokoro (556)
    Is that really true?
[11:25] Zorome (666)
    You're being kinda weird, Kokoro.
[11:28] Nana
    You kids!
[11:44] Nine Alpha
    I've never seen any children disobey
    orders and get yelled at before.
[11:48] Nine Alpha
    You guys are truly interesting.
[11:50] Ichigo (015)
    Go mess with someone else.
[11:52] Nine Alpha
    How cold.
[11:54] Nine Alpha
    We're leaving soon, so what's
    a little chat going to hurt?
[12:00] Nine Alpha
    I hear you guys are a test
    team formed by Dr. Franxx.
[12:05] Nine Alpha
    Is that why you're given so much
    more freedom than the other squads?
[12:10] Nine Alpha
    What kind of tests are you running?
[12:13] Nine Alpha
    I'd love to hear the details.
[12:16] Nine Alpha
    Of Iota's partners, only Code 016 has
    managed to ride with her more than thrice.
[12:22] Nine Alpha
    Is that related to your tests?
[12:25] Ichigo (015)
    What are you trying to say?
[12:26] Nine Alpha
    You finally looked my way.
[12:30] Nine Alpha
    I'll let you in on a big secret.
[12:33] Nine Alpha
    What Code 002 is really like.
[12:38] Nine Alpha
    She can never coexist with you.
[12:42] Nine Alpha
    She's just wearing a human guise
    and pretending she can.
[13:13] Hachi
    Five Moho-class klaxosaurs.
[13:16] Hachi
    They aren't much of a threat, but...
[13:17] Nana
    The question is why they showed up here, huh?
[13:22] Nana
    No klaxosaurs have ever been
    sighted in this area before.
[13:26] Hachi
    Did they notice what we're up to?
[13:29] Hachi
    All FRANXX, prepare to sortie.
[13:33] Hiro (016)
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[13:37] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two, your horns...
[13:39] Zero Two (002)
    Quit staring.
[13:41] Hiro (016)
    S-Sorry...
[13:46] Zero Two (002)
    Darling,
[13:48] Zero Two (002)
    let's kill a whole lot of
    klaxosaurs again today.
[14:16] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[14:18] Ichigo (015)
    Strelizia, follow the plan!
[14:21] Hiro (016)
    You're being too direct.
[14:23] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, shut up.
[14:25] Zero Two (002)
    I'll kill them all! Isn't that enough?
[14:28] Goro (056)
    Hiro, four o'clock!
[14:31] Hiro (016)
    Damn...
[14:33] Hiro (016)
    Pay more attention to our surroundings!
[14:36] Zero Two (002)
    Why, you...
[14:45] Hiro (016)
    You're chasing them too far.
[14:47] Hiro (016)
    We have to work with the others.
[14:50] Kokoro (556)
    They're fast!
[14:51] Ikuno (196)
    Strelizia! There's more coming your way!
[15:00] Zero Two (002)
    I'll pulverize them all together!
[15:02] Hiro (016)
    Listen to me!
[15:04] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[15:06] Hiro (016)
    Damn it!
[15:09] Zero Two (002)
    Why? Why are you getting
    in my way, too, Darling?
[15:16] Hiro (016)
    Fire!
[15:27] Hiro (016)
    We got through it... somehow.
[15:33] Zero Two (002)
    Damn monsters.
[15:35] Zero Two (002)
    Take this.
[15:36] Zero Two (002)
    And this.
[15:38] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[15:38] Hiro (016)
    That's enough! You don't
    need to hit them anymore!
[15:39] Zero Two (002)
    Damn you! Damn you!
[15:42] Zero Two (002)
    I'm going to kill you all
[15:46] Zero Two (002)
    and become human.
[15:52] Hiro (016)
    We're out of fuel?
[15:54] Ikuno (196)
    Don't you think you went too far?
[15:56] Miku (390)
    That was kinda scary.
[16:29] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[16:37] Hiro (016)
    Your nails are peeling off!
[16:38] Hiro (016)
    You're bruised all over!
[16:40] Zero Two (002)
    Let go.
[16:44] Zero Two (002)
    ...ill them.
[16:46] Hiro (016)
    Huh?
[16:48] Zero Two (002)
    I'm running out of time.
    I need to kill more klaxosaurs.
[16:53] Zero Two (002)
    Many, many more.
[16:55] Zero Two (002)
    I wanna hurry up and become human.
[16:58] Hiro (016)
    You mentioned that earlier.
    What did you mean?
[17:02] Zero Two (002)
    I'm going to be human...
[17:05] Zero Two (002)
    A human.
[17:07] Hiro (016)
    Pull yourself together, Zero Two!
[17:10] Hiro (016)
    I don't know why you're
    so fixated on being human,
[17:14] Hiro (016)
    but you are who you are!
[17:16] Hiro (016)
    It doesn't matter where you were born!
[17:18] Hiro (016)
    Your horns and fangs aren't an issue, either!
[17:20] Zero Two (002)
    Shut your damn mouth!
[17:22] Hiro (016)
    I was attracted to the person you are!
[17:24] Hiro (016)
    It doesn't matter whether
    you're human or not.
[17:27] Hiro (016)
    This entire time, I'd been trying to
    figure out why I felt this way about you,
[17:31] Hiro (016)
    and watching Goro and Futoshi helped
    me understand this unique feeling.
[17:36] Hiro (016)
    I love you, Zero Two!
[17:38] Hiro (016)
    I love you as you are!
[17:45] Zero Two (002)
    You love me? What's that supposed to mean?
[17:53] Hiro (016)
    What are you...
[17:54] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, is this it?
[17:56] Zero Two (002)
    This is what you're talking about, right?
[17:59] Zero Two (002)
    I'll teach you what comes after kissing.
[18:01] Hiro (016)
    That's not it! I...
[18:10] Hiro (016)
    No! You're wrong, Zero Two!
[18:12] Hiro (016)
    This isn't what I mean!
[18:13] Hiro (016)
    I...
[18:15] Zero Two (002)
    This is tedious.
[18:17] Zero Two (002)
    Hurry up and let it all out.
[18:20] Zero Two (002)
    This isn't enough.
[18:21] Zero Two (002)
    Kill more of those monsters
    and make me human.
[18:25] Zero Two (002)
    You're only my fodder, after all!
[18:30] Hiro (016)
    Fodder?
[18:38] Hachi
    Detailed testing has shown
[18:40] Hachi
    that Code 002's saurification has
    accelerated since they became partners.
[18:46] Hachi
    Code 016's numbers are close
    to the upper limit, too.
[18:49] Hachi
    If this keeps up, he might undergo
    a genetic transformation.
[18:55] Nana
    You mean he could no longer be called human?
[19:29] Ichigo (015)
    Zero Two, I need to talk to—
[19:33] Zero Two (002)
    Don't show me.
[19:36] Zero Two (002)
    Don't reflect me!
[19:43] Ichigo (015)
    Wh-What are you doing?
[20:03] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    Why do you think Iota is
    called the Partner Killer?
[20:08] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    It's because she places her partners
    under a curse that drains their life away.
[20:12] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    That power is what she uses
    to operate the FRANXX.
[20:16] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    And she can do that because she's
    the key to saving the world.
[20:19] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    The key to saving the world?
[20:23] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    Just from what I know, she's used and
    discarded more than a hundred stamens.
[20:28] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    Code 016 is an exceptional case.
[20:31] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    Maybe he has a special ability
    that keeps him going.
[20:35] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    But if he keeps riding with her,
[20:38] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    the curse might turn him into the
    same kind of monster that she is.
[20:42] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    She must believe that the
    more klaxosaurs she kills,
[20:45] (Flashback) Nine Alpha
    the closer she'll get to being human.
[20:49] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[21:07] Ichigo (015)
    Strelizia!
[21:09] Zero Two (002)
    Outta my way!
[21:11] Zero Two (002)
    I'll kill many, many more and become human!
[21:15] Hiro (016)
    You're wrong, Zero Two!
[21:19] Hiro (016)
    You can't become human that way!
[21:22] Hiro (016)
    What's driving your obsession?
[21:24] Zero Two (002)
    Don't. Don't tie me down.
[21:28] Hiro (016)
    Damn it! Look at me, Zero Two!
[21:28] Zero Two (002)
    Just quietly be devoured
    like the fodder you are!
[21:40] Hiro (016)
    Stop!
[21:44] Hiro (016)
    Zero... Two...
[21:51] Zero Two (002)
    Give me all of your life.
[21:54] Zero Two (002)
    I'm going to become human
[21:57] Zero Two (002)
    so I can meet my darling from back then.
[22:01] Hiro (016)
    Dar... ling?
[22:04] Announcer
    Para-capacity has crossed critical
    point and is still rising.
[22:07] Nana
    This is bad.
[22:08] Nana
    The saurification will begin!
[22:14] Hiro (016)
    What's going on?
[22:17] Hiro (016)
    Someone's thoughts are flowing into my mind.
[22:21] Hiro (016)
    When was it?
[22:24] Hiro (016)
    I've seen this before.
[22:28] Hiro (016)
    Hands clasped together, and eyes
    filled with hatred for the world.
[22:32] Hiro (016)
    A girl with red skin and blue blood.
[22:36] Hiro (016)
    Ah, I remember now.
[22:39] Hiro (016)
    That's... She's...
[22:43] Zero Two (002)
    That's right.
[22:46] Zero Two (002)
    I'm a monster in disguise.

SIGN    "This is a story of a monster"
[00:14] Zero Two (002)
    That room was the entirety of my world.
[00:18] Zero Two (002)
    A closed world that would never
    touch what lay outside the windows.
[00:24] Hiro (016)
    That place was the entirety of my world.
[00:28] Hiro (016)
    The Garden, a closed world
    where only children lived.
[00:33] Zero Two (002)
    But that day, I went outside
    for the first time.
[00:37] Zero Two (002)
    To this day, I haven't forgotten.
[00:40] Hiro (016)
    To this day, I'd forgotten all about...
[00:42] Zero Two (002)
    How vast the sky up above was.
[00:44] Hiro (016)
    How warm the hand I held was.
[00:47] Both
    And the promise we made.
SIGN    "This is a story forgotten"
[00:54] Zero Two (002)
    Who am I?
[00:57] Zero Two (002)
    Back then, that question
    never even crossed my mind.
[01:02] Zero Two (002)
    I was trapped in that room for
    as far back as I can remember.
[01:07] Zero Two (002)
    I felt like I had even older memories,
    but I soon forgot them.
[01:15] Zero Two (002)
    I didn't know what this was, either.
[01:18] Zero Two (002)
    Probably a stand-in for
    what you'd call a mother.
[01:26] Zero Two (002)
    One day, for the first and only time,
    she brought me something that wasn't food.
SIGN    The Beast and the Prince
[01:49] Zero Two (002)
    It was a picture book.
[01:52] Zero Two (002)
    As I turned the pages, its bright
    colors jumped out at me,
[01:55] Zero Two (002)
    as did various shapes.
[01:58] Zero Two (002)
    It had words, too, but I
    couldn't understand them.
[02:04] Zero Two (002)
    And after that day,
    she never showed up again.
[02:10] Zero Two (002)
    Anyway, this book was
    my first "pretty thing."
[02:15] Zero Two (002)
    The outside world surely had many more.
[02:19] Zero Two (002)
    That's what I innocently
    believed in that moment.
[02:24] Zero Two (002)
    It turns out that I was half-right
[02:28] Zero Two (002)
    and half-wrong.
[02:33] Hiro (016)
    Who am I?
[02:36] Hiro (016)
    Back then, that question was
    all I ever had on my mind.
[02:41] Hiro (016)
    I was in the Garden for as far
    back as I can remember.
[02:45] Hiro (016)
    We lived there to become parasites who
    would fight for Papa and the others.
[02:51] Hiro (016)
    All of us children were referred
    to by our code numbers.
[02:55] Hiro (016)
    The lower the number, the higher
    the child's potential as parasite.
[02:59] Hiro (016)
    The double-digits up to 099,
[03:02] Hiro (016)
    the teens in particular,
    were given special treatment.
[03:06] Hiro (016)
    I was one of them, and I was told
    I was special, unlike everyone else.
[03:20] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Are you crying?
[03:23] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Am I a weirdo?
[03:26] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    I mean, I'm not like everyone else.
[03:31] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    They've all stopped smiling.
[03:35] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    They don't get mad or cry anymore, either.
[03:38] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    But I still shed tears.
[03:42] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    I wanna be like everyone else, too!
[03:45] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    What should I do?
[03:47] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Should I get more injections?
[03:53] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Our codes are in the teens, so we were
    different from the others to begin with.
[03:58] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    I don't want that.
[04:00] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Being different is scary.
[04:11] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Hey, want me to give you a name?
[04:15] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    A name?
[04:16] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yeah, I gave myself one.
[04:21] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    A unique name like the people
    in books have, and not a number.
[04:27] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    My name is Hiro.
[04:30] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Hiro?
[04:31] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Well? You'll feel better if you're
    like me and have a name, right?
[04:35] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I'll give you one!
[04:39] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Okay...
[04:40] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Your name will be...
[04:45] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Ichigo!
[04:46] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    I-Ichigo?
[04:48] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[04:49] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Because that's how your code
    is read. 015, for Ichigo.
[04:54] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    That's my name?
[04:58] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yeah. What do you think?
[05:03] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Having a name can make you feel
    like it's okay to be different.
[05:08] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Really?
[05:10] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yeah, because it's a unique
    name that exists for you alone.
[05:15] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    For me alone?
[05:16] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yep. Ichigo.
[05:21] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Can you give the others names, too?
[05:23] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Huh? Sure.
[05:25] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Then let's get everyone in on this, uh...
[05:29] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[05:30] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    You can give everyone names!
[05:34] Hiro (016)
    It was just a game.
[05:37] Hiro (016)
    I gave many children names.
[05:40] Hiro (016)
    Samii, Junna, Nakku,
[05:43] Hiro (016)
    Toshi, Sakuto, Shinya,
[05:46] Hiro (016)
    and... Mitsuru.
[05:50] Hiro (016)
    A name is but one way to refer to a person.
[05:53] Hiro (016)
    But just having one made us feel
    our anxieties fading away.
[05:57] (Flashback) Guard
    What are you doing?
[05:59] (Flashback) Guard
    You're not allowed to change your
    designation without permission.
[06:06] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    What's so bad about giving ourselves names?
[06:10] (Flashback) Woman
    That's...
[06:11] (Flashback) Guard
    One of the teen codes, huh?
[06:16] (Flashback) Guard
    Anyway, don't go doing things as you please.
[06:25] Hiro (016)
    The adults never answered my questions,
[06:29] Hiro (016)
    and the other children never asked any.
[06:36] Hiro (016)
    Children were gradually disappearing
    from the Garden at regular intervals.
[06:41] Hiro (016)
    The adults never told us where they went.
[06:46] Hiro (016)
    Meanwhile, I was designated
    a special research subject,
[06:51] Hiro (016)
    and I underwent tests at
    the Lab all by myself.
[06:56] Hiro (016)
    If I did well, I was given a reward.
[07:00] Hiro (016)
    But even then, there was still
    no one who'd answer my questions.
[07:09] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Horns?
[07:17] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Marvelous.
[07:19] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    She's leagues better than
    all of our past specimens.
[07:22] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    I can't believe she has
    developed such a human form.
[07:34] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Oh!
[07:36] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Look! How amazing!
[07:38] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    You're an amazing child!
[07:47] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Who's that girl with the horns?
[07:50] (Flashback) Woman
    Another question?
[07:53] (Flashback) Woman
    Return to your room.
    That's not for you to know.
[08:00] Hiro (016)
    That was the first time I'd
    seen a child with red horns.
[08:05] Hiro (016)
    And now there was another thing
    I wanted to know more about.
[08:08] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Oh, I know.
[08:10] Hiro (016)
    If nobody would answer me,
    I could just go find out for myself.
[08:18] (Flashback) Guard
    You there. The lobby isn't that way.
[08:22] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I guess it wouldn't be that easy after all.
[08:25] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I don't see any back doors, either.
[08:29] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I never knew it was so difficult
    to look for something by myself.
[08:37] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    That's her!
SIGN    The Beast and the Prince
[09:15] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Wow.
[09:16] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Wow!
[09:19] Hiro (016)
    For some reason, it made
    me really, really happy.
[09:26] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru!
[09:30] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    H-Hiro...
[09:32] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Are you going to the Lab?
[09:34] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    Yeah.
[09:36] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    What's the matter?
[09:39] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    I'm going to get an injection.
[09:42] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    If I don't, I won't be able to stay.
[09:46] Hiro (016)
    All the children there knew what it
    meant to get an Elixir Injection.
[09:53] Hiro (016)
    While you could expect a drastic
    improvement in your aptitude scores,
[09:57] Hiro (016)
    it had an incredibly low success rate.
[10:00] Hiro (016)
    And if it failed, you wouldn't come back.

    I want to become a parasite with you.

    Huh? With me?

    It's 494 this time.

    Papa threw them away.
[10:37] (Flashback) Woman
    Will I be next?
[10:40] (Flashback) Woman
    I'm scared!
[10:43] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    We gotta do something.
[10:45] (Flashback) Goro (056)
    But Papa and the others made the decision.
[10:48] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    There's nothing we can do.

[10:54] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Um, where do the kids go—

    Get ready.
[10:57] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    U-Uh...
[11:04] (Flashback) Guard
    His sensitivity is becoming a problem.
[11:06] (Flashback) Guard
    It might affect the other children.
[11:09] (Flashback) Guard
    Shouldn't we increase his
    yellow blood cell dose?
[11:12] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    Leave it as is.
[11:14] (Flashback) Guard
    Sir?
[11:15] (Flashback) Dr. Franxx
    I'm very interested in what kind of parasite
    a child like him will grow up to be.
[11:58] (Flashback) Guard
    What are you doing here?
    Return to the Garden.
[12:01] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    S-Stop doing that. She's in pain...
[12:04] (Flashback) Guard
    That's none of your business.

    Come with me.

    B-But... But...
[12:11] Hiro (016)
    But...
[12:13] Hiro (016)
    The things I wanted to know
    kept growing in number.
[12:16] Hiro (016)
    Who are we?
[12:19] Hiro (016)
    Why can't we give ourselves names?
[12:22] Hiro (016)
    Where did the kids who disappear go?
[12:24] Hiro (016)
    Will Mitsuru come back?
[12:26] Hiro (016)
    Who is that girl?
[12:29] Hiro (016)
    Why don't the adults give me any answers?
[12:33] Hiro (016)
    Why isn't anyone else asking any questions?
[12:36] Hiro (016)
    Why is she...
[13:32] Hiro (016)
    I didn't understand anything, but...
[13:38] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Get away from the window!
[13:48] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Come this way!
[13:50] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I can get you out of here!
[13:55] Hiro (016)
    But you...
[13:58] Hiro (016)
    You smiled back then.
[14:16] Hiro (016)
    In this world where questions
    and answers fell on deaf ears,
[14:26] Hiro (016)
    you shone brightly in my eyes.
[14:34] Zero Two (002)
    That was my first experience
    of the outside world.
[14:39] Zero Two (002)
    It was covered in white and cold.
[14:47] Zero Two (002)
    Everything around me was unfamiliar.

    Wait, do you not understand what I'm saying?

    I'm Code 016. Hiro.

    What's your code number?

    Hey, you're barefoot.

    Huh? Do you understand what names are?
[16:15] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Eo To!
[16:16] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Eo To!
[16:19] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I should've thought of a better name.
[16:24] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Let's go, Zero Two.
[16:26] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Let's go somewhere far away!
[16:33] Zero Two (002)
    I didn't understand his words,
    but I knew his voice called to me.
[16:39] Zero Two (002)
    I saw things with him.
[16:41] Zero Two (002)
    I walked with him.
[16:43] Zero Two (002)
    And it was so much fun.

    Here you go.

Among them was their princess,  who had huge, ashen wings. Their law said that once one  turned sixteen, they would be  allowed to fly outside the forest.

SIGN    the Prince
[18:18] Hiro (016)
    "In the deepest, darkest part of a forest
[18:20] Hiro (016)
    lived a strong and beautiful beast princess.
[18:24] Hiro (016)
    Beckoned by the moonlight,
[18:27] Hiro (016)
    she wandered into a country of humans,
[18:30] Hiro (016)
    and in the moonlit garden of a small castle,
    she fell in love with a prince.
[18:35] Hiro (016)
    But the princess was a beast.
[18:38] Hiro (016)
    She had ashen wings on her back.
[18:41] Hiro (016)
    Not knowing what to do, she went to see
[18:44] Hiro (016)
    a witch who lived at the edge of the forest
[18:46] Hiro (016)
    and said, 'I want to live as a human.
    I want to be united with him.'
[18:52] Hiro (016)
    The witch replied like so:
[18:55] Hiro (016)
    'I can help you if you offer me your wings.
[18:59] Hiro (016)
    But keep this in mind.
[19:02] Hiro (016)
    No matter how you disguise
    yourself, you are a beast,
[19:07] Hiro (016)
    and you will consume the
    prince's life one day."
SIGN    And so, the princess went to see a witch who lived in the same forest and said, "I want to live as a human.  I want to be united with him." The witch replied like so: "I can help you if you offer me your wings. But keep this in mind. No matter how you disguise yourself, you are a beast, and you will consume the prince's life one day."   The princess ripped off her wings and was assaulted by pain far more intense than she had ever felt. She could never fly again.
SIGN    Even so, she smiled happily, with tears of joy streaming down her face. "I'm human! I'm human! I'm the same as him now!"
[19:14] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Sorry. I was just thinking
    how sad this story is.
[19:19] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Is it because one of them isn't
    human that they can't get married?
[19:24] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Awwi?
[19:25] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yeah. Two people who love each other
    promise to be together forever.
[19:32] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    If they were both human...
[19:40] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Nothing. Come on.

[19:52] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    A-Anyway, I need something to...
[20:00] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Endure it!
[20:01] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I read in a book that animals
    lick their wounds to heal them.

    Awwi?
[20:19] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Awwi.
[20:21] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Awwi?
[20:24] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Yeah. Once we get out of here.
[20:27] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I want to be with you forever, too.
[20:29] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    And then, I'll be your da...
[20:35] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Da...
[20:40] Zero Two (002)
    I don't know why, but tears
    flowed from my eyes.
[20:41] Hiro (016)
    What's wrong? Don't cry!
[20:43] Zero Two (002)
    It wasn't because my wound hurt.
[20:44] Hiro (016)
    Er...
[20:48] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    It's a mistletoe.
[20:50] Zero Two (002)
    Yeah, those were probably tears of joy.
[20:55] Zero Two (002)
    The picture book's world was pretty,
[20:59] Zero Two (002)
    and I believed that if I was with him,
    I could be the same, too.
SIGN    "But that wouldn't be allowed"
[21:04] Zero Two (002)
    But this world didn't allow it.
[21:08] Hiro (016)
    Why? Why is it?
[21:11] Hiro (016)
    Am I not able to find the answers I seek
[21:14] Hiro (016)
    because I'm just a child who doesn't
    have the power to protect anyone?
[21:19] Zero Two (002)
    Why didn't I realize?
[21:22] Zero Two (002)
    That he and I were different creatures,
    with blood of different colors,
SIGN    "Erase these memories"
[21:27] Zero Two (002)
    and that I was a monster?
[21:33] (Flashback) Guard
    It's what you get for
    forgetting you're children.
[21:34] Guard
    Erase those memories. They're noise.
[21:35] Hiro (016)

    This is bad.
[21:42] (Flashback) Guard
    Monster.
[21:44] Zero Two (002)
    That's why I swore to become human,

SIGN    Episode 13
SIGN    The Beast and the Prince
SIGN    The Beast and the Prince
SIGN    In the deepest, darkest part of a forest lived a tribe, hidden from all. They had  large wings on their backs and were beautiful, but they were  what would be called beasts.  Among them was their princess,  who had huge, ashen wings. Their law said that once one  turned sixteen, they would be  allowed to fly outside the forest.
SIGN    And on her sixteenth birthday, the princess took flight to the world beyond the forest. She crossed the steep mountains and the surging rivers and reached a land of humans. The moon shone brightly in the sky.
SIGN    She landed in a castle garden, where she found a young man gazing up at the moon. The princess hid in the bushes and stared at the young man, and for the first time, love bloomed in her heart. But he was clearly of a different race. A beast and a human could never be together.
SIGN    And so, the princess went to see a witch who lived in the same forest and said, "I want to live as a human.  I want to be united with him." The witch replied like so: "I can help you if you offer me your wings. But keep this in mind. No matter how you disguise yourself, you are a beast, and you will consume the prince's life one day."   The princess ripped off her wings and was assaulted by pain far more intense than she had ever felt. She could never fly again.
SIGN    Even so, she smiled happily, with tears of joy streaming down her face. "I'm human! I'm human! I'm the same as him now!"
SIGN    The princess once again set out for the land of humans, this time on foot. In the desert, she spotted a group of people. "Oh, no! Is there anyone who can save him?!" There lay a young man, his leg bitten by a snake. The princess rushed to his side and sucked the venom out from his wound."Thank you, o brave lady. I am the prince of these lands." It was the same young man she had met in the castle. "I owe my life to you. Please marry me."
SIGN    A wedding ceremony was held soon after. The priest asked the princess, clad in a wedding dress of pure white, "Do you vow to be true to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health,  until death do you part?"
SIGN    "I do." The two exchanged rings, and when the priest said so, they sealed their vows with a kiss. And cheers rang out across the land. "Bless the brave girl who  saved our prince's life!" The whole kingdom celebrated their marriage.
SIGN    "Humans! Humans! They have neither the wings to fly nor the claws or fangs to hunt. Such weak and frail creatures, but they are so, so warm. Humans are wonderful!"  After the wedding, she lived happily as the princess of a human land. She supported the prince in his work, traveled the world, and saw oceans studded with glints of sapphire, sparkling grasslands, and auroras that swayed like raging flames.  The princess took the prince's hand and said with a smile on her face, "Grab on to me and never let go, *******."
SIGN    But the princess's happiness was short-lived.  She woke up one night to a pain that threatened to rend her asunder and found her body turning into one of a beast. "Why? I asked you to make me human!" On her back were jet-black wings, tearing through her flesh and skin to spread. "Using magic comes at a price. You've attained plenty of happiness as a human. Now, it is time for you to lose yourself and turn into an ugly monster," the witch of the forest whispered to her. "However, if you kill the person you love most, you will be freed of your curse and return to the beast you originally were."
SIGN    The princess gazed at her beloved prince as her claws reached for his throat. She loved him more than anything and anyone, but the desire to rip his neck apart welled up inside her. As she desperately tried to clench her fist and stop herself, her claws dug into her skin, and blood started gushing out.  "If I kill the prince, I will be freed of this curse..." With tears streaming down her face, she kissed the prince on the cheek.
SIGN    When the prince awoke,
    the princess was no longer
    beside him. Instead, the bed
    was covered in jet-black feathers.
SIGN    In profound sadness,
    the prince searched
    all across the land for her.
    But nobody had seen the princess.

    Why are you getting so worked up, Ichigo?
[04:30] Ichigo (015)
    All this time, you've deceived
    Hiro and exploited him.
[04:33] Ichigo (015)
    And you just tried to make
    him lose his humanity.
[04:38] Futoshi (214)
    "Lose his humanity"?
[04:40] Ichigo (015)
    I heard all about it.
[04:41] Ichigo (015)
    You suck up your partner's life
    and discard them once you're done.
[04:45] Ichigo (015)
    And you've killed many, many people that way!
[04:49] Goro (056)
    Who told you that?
[04:50] Ichigo (015)
    I overheard Nana and Hachi, too.
[04:53] Ichigo (015)
    They said that if this keeps up,
    Hiro can no longer be called human.
[04:58] Ikuno (196)
    Is that true, Zero Two?
[05:00] Kokoro (556)
    Of course not, right?
[05:02] Goro (056)
    It has to be a misunderstanding.
[05:04] Goro (056)
    You two have managed just fine so far.
[05:06] Zero Two (002)
    Shut up.
[05:08] Zero Two (002)
    What I do to my darling is
    none of your damn business.
[05:13] Ichigo (015)
    So you admit it?
[05:15] Zero Two (002)
    Happy now? Just let me see my darling.
[05:19] Ichigo (015)
    At first, I had my misgivings about
    having you as part of our team.
[05:23] Ichigo (015)
    But you started to fit in,
[05:26] Ichigo (015)
    and I thought we had finally
    become teammates.
[05:33] Zero Two (002)
    Teammates?
[05:34] Zero Two (002)
    I couldn't care less about that.
[05:39] Zero Two (002)
    Outta my way already.
[05:42] Ichigo (015)
    Well, I don't care how you feel.
[05:44] Ichigo (015)
    I'm never letting you see Hiro again.
[05:48] Ichigo (015)
    You've been deceiving him
    and us this whole time.
[05:52] Ichigo (015)
    You have no place here anymore!
[06:04] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[06:06] Kokoro (556)
    Thank goodness!
[06:07] Goro (056)
    Hey.
[06:10] Goro (056)
    A triumphant return, huh?
[06:15] Zorome (666)
    Man...
[06:16] Zorome (666)
    I thought you were a goner this time!
[06:19] Hiro (016)
    Ow.
[06:19] Zorome (666)
    Good job surviving!
[06:21] Futoshi (214)
    They said that if you get some rest,
    you'll be as good as new in no time.
[06:24] Futoshi (214)
    Aren't you glad, Hiro?
[06:26] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[06:29] Hiro (016)
    Hey, where's Zero Two?
[06:35] Ichigo (015)
    She isn't here.
[06:37] Ichigo (015)
    I didn't let her come.
[06:40] Ichigo (015)
    You know why, don't you?
[06:48] Ichigo (015)
    But don't worry.
[06:50] Ichigo (015)
    We'll keep you safe,
[06:53] Ichigo (015)
    so get some rest for now.
[06:55] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo...
[06:57] Goro (056)
    See ya, Hiro.
[06:58] Kokoro (556)
    Take care.
[06:58] ---
    S-Sure.
[06:59] Zorome (666)
    Later.
[07:00] Futoshi (214)
    Make sure you eat, okay?
[07:02] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru.
[07:05] Mitsuru (326)
    What did you want to talk about?
[07:08] Hiro (016)
    I made a promise to you way back,
    before you got an Elixir Injection, right?
[07:13] Hiro (016)
    After that, I...
[07:15] Mitsuru (326)
    Never mind that. It was a long time ago.
[07:18] Mitsuru (326)
    Even I'd forgotten about it until now.
[07:21] Hiro (016)
    Really?
[07:22] Mitsuru (326)
    Yes.
[07:26] Mitsuru (326)
    Any other stamen would've died long ago.
[07:29] Mitsuru (326)
    I see you've still got the devil's luck.
[07:32] Mitsuru (326)
    Listen to Ichigo, learn your lesson,
    and stay away from Zero Two.
[07:37] Hiro (016)
    But...
[07:39] Hiro (016)
    There's still something I must ask her.
[07:43] Mitsuru (326)
    There you go, poking your
    nose into trouble again.
[07:46] Mitsuru (326)
    That part of you hasn't changed a bit.
[07:50] Hiro (016)
    Thanks, Mitsuru.
[07:58] Hiro (016)
    "Ask her," huh?
[08:01] Hiro (016)
    After that day, my aptitude
    score kept going down.
[08:07] Hiro (016)
    And finally...
[08:08] (Flashback) Hachi
    Code 703 and Code 016.
[08:12] (Flashback) Hachi
    You fail.
[08:14] Hiro (016)
    My life ended once already.
[08:17] Hiro (016)
    But through meeting Zero Two...
[08:20] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I did it...
[08:23] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I'm piloting a FRANXX!
[08:26] Hiro (016)
    Still...
[08:29] Hiro (016)
    Given that no other stamen could handle it,
[08:32] Hiro (016)
    why was I the only one?
[08:34] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    I'm sure you'll be fine next time,
    the time after that, and many more times.
[08:41] Hiro (016)
    There's only one reason I can think of.
[08:47] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Now... let me get a taste of you.
[08:50] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    You are now...
[08:51] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    My darling!
[08:53] Hiro (016)
    Did you know all along that
    I could only ride with you?
[09:01] Hiro (016)
    I have to ask.
[09:04] Hiro (016)
    I must make sure.
[09:15] Hachi
    You have your next mission.
[09:17] Hachi
    HQ has sent official orders.
[09:21] Hachi
    Plantation 13 has been heading
    toward a certain place for a while.
[09:26] Hachi
    This is our destination.
[09:28] Hachi
    Your mission is to neutralize every
    klaxosaur inhabiting this structure,
[09:33] Hachi
    and take control of this area.
[09:35] Nana
    Furthermore,
[09:36] Nana
    this is a joint operation with the 9's
    and FRANXX squads from each plantation.
[09:41] Futoshi (214)
    A joint operation?
[09:43] Hachi
    The opening salvo will be
    fired 27 hours from now.
[09:48] Hachi
    Squad 13 is scheduled to
    be part of the sixth wave.
[09:53] Zero Two (002)
    Get it over with already.
[09:55] Nana
    Unlike other times, the enemy
    will counter with numbers.
[09:58] Nana
    This will, without a doubt, be your
    most difficult operation to date.
[10:01] Nana
    Focus on the task—
[10:03] Nana
    Ichigo?
[10:05] Ichigo (015)
    Please remove Code 002 from
    Squad 13 as of this mission.
[10:12] Nana
    Ichigo, the thing is...
[10:13] Ichigo (015)
    If this request isn't granted,
[10:16] Ichigo (015)
    Squad 13 will not participate
    in the operation.
[10:19] Ichigo (015)
    This is our squad's decision as a whole.
[10:22] Ichigo (015)
    We can't fight with her anymore.
[10:29] Nana
    Zero Two was set to return to the
    9's as of this mission, anyway.
[10:34] Zero Two (002)
    Wait a second!
[10:35] Zero Two (002)
    Where'd that come from?
    Don't go deciding things for me!
[10:39] Nana
    HQ has already given this the green light.
[10:42] Nana
    We can't keep you here any longer.
[10:46] Zero Two (002)
    What about my darling?
[10:53] Futoshi (214)
    Wh-Where are you going?
[10:55] Zorome (666)
    Sorry, but you're not going to his room.
[10:58] Ichigo (015)
    We won't let you see Hiro, no matter what.
[11:04] Zero Two (002)
    Why?
[11:16] Miku (390)
    Sorry, Hiro.
[11:19] Miku (390)
    Get back to your bed.
[11:21] Hiro (016)
    Uh, but...
[11:24] Miku (390)
    Please.
[11:27] Zero Two (002)
    Why?
[11:29] Zero Two (002)
    Why is everyone getting in my way?
[11:33] Zero Two (002)
    All I want to do is see my darling
[11:37] Zero Two (002)
    and talk to him.
[11:56] Ichigo (015)
    How are you feeling?
[11:58] Hiro (016)
    A lot better.
[12:00] Ichigo (015)
    I see. Glad to hear it.
[12:03] Hiro (016)
    How are things with you?
[12:05] Ichigo (015)
    Well...
[12:07] Ichigo (015)
    I brought an apple. Want to eat it?
[12:13] Ichigo (015)
    Zero Two's going back to the 9's.
[12:18] Hiro (016)
    When?
[12:19] Ichigo (015)
    Tomorrow night.
[12:21] Ichigo (015)
    We have a big mission coming up.
[12:27] Ichigo (015)
    You hate me, don't you?
[12:30] Ichigo (015)
    I know you want to see her.
[12:34] Ichigo (015)
    But I can't let you.
[12:37] Ichigo (015)
    If you do, you'll never be the same again.
[12:42] Ichigo (015)
    The others are worried, too.
[12:44] Ichigo (015)
    We're a team now. We don't
    want to lose anyone.
[12:50] Ichigo (015)
    So please, Hiro.
[12:53] Ichigo (015)
    I don't care if you hate me,
    but please don't go anywhere.
[13:00] Hiro (016)
    Sorry, Ichigo.
[13:05] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru told me I poke my nose
    into trouble too much.
[13:12] Hiro (016)
    I made all of you worry, didn't I?
[13:19] Ichigo (015)
    Y-You don't have to apologize.
[13:22] Ichigo (015)
    That's the good thing about you.
[13:24] Ichigo (015)
    I've always found that side of you...
[13:27] Ichigo (015)
    Ouch!
[13:31] Ichigo (015)
    Ow...
[13:32] Hiro (016)
    You okay?
[13:33] Ichigo (015)
    Y-Yeah...
[13:34] Hiro (016)
    Yikes, that's a deep cut.
[13:40] Hiro (016)
    There. All set.
[13:44] Ichigo (015)
    H-Hard to tell who's the patient here, huh?
[13:48] Hiro (016)
    Seriously.
[13:49] Hiro (016)
    You're always so clumsy, Ichigo.
[13:52] Ichigo (015)
    Th-That was just bad luck!
[13:54] Hiro (016)
    Really? What about this, then?
[13:57] Ichigo (015)
    That's... a bunny.
[14:01] Hiro (016)
    A bunny? This thing?
[14:03] Ichigo (015)
    Sh-Shut up! Look, I'm gradually
    getting better at it!
[14:07] Ichigo (015)
    This one here is really
    close to the real thing!
[14:09] Ichigo (015)
    And this one kinda sorta
    almost looks like ears...
[14:14] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    I thought we had finally
    become teammates.
[14:18] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    You have no place here anymore!
[14:22] Zero Two (002)
    I always knew...
[14:24] Zero Two (002)
    No matter how I disguised myself as
    a human, I could never be one of you.
[14:31] Zero Two (002)
    That's why I wanted to
    kill lots more klaxosaurs
[14:36] Zero Two (002)
    and become human already.
[14:44] Zero Two (002)
    For that, I...
[14:47] Zero Two (002)
    But even then, my darling's all I have!
[14:55] Hiro (016)
    Thanks for that.
[14:57] Hiro (016)
    I think I'll get some sleep now.
[14:59] Ichigo (015)
    Right. S-Sorry to stay so long.
[15:04] Hiro (016)
    I'll have them clean it all up later,
    so you can leave it there.
[15:07] Ichigo (015)
    Really?
[15:08] Ichigo (015)
    Please do, then.
[15:12] Ichigo (015)
    See you, Hiro.
[15:14] Ichigo (015)
    Take care.
[15:24] Zorome (666)
    H-Hey!
[15:26] Futoshi (214)
    Hold it!
[15:34] Zorome (666)
    Stop!
[15:35] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah! Get back to your room!
[15:37] Goro (056)
    Hey, Zero Two! What are you—
[15:40] Ikuno (196)
    Hey, are you okay?
[15:42] Goro (056)
    Ow...
[15:46] Ichigo (015)
    Wh-What's going on here?
[15:48] Futoshi (214)
    Uh...
[15:49] Zorome (666)
    Well...
[15:51] Zero Two (002)
    Don't stop me.
[15:52] Zero Two (002)
    I'm going to see my darling.
[15:55] Ichigo (015)
    Would you give it a rest already?
[15:58] Ichigo (015)
    You'll see him, and then what?
    You'll lie to him again, right?
[16:05] Zero Two (002)
    No! You're wrong!
[16:07] Zero Two (002)
    I just want to talk to him!
[16:12] Goro (056)
    Let her go, Ichigo.
[16:15] Goro (056)
    Listen to her. She must have something
    really important to discuss.
[16:19] Ichigo (015)
    Goro... But she's...
[16:22] Kokoro (556)
    I agree.
[16:24] Kokoro (556)
    We can't force them apart.
    I feel so sorry for them.
[16:32] Goro (056)
    You can meet Hiro, Zero Two,
    but we're all going to be there.
[16:37] Goro (056)
    Are you okay with that?
[16:44] Miku (390)
    Huh?
[16:45] Miku (390)
    What's going on here?
[16:46] Ichigo (015)
    How's Hiro?
[16:47] Miku (390)
    Probably sleeping.
[16:49] Miku (390)
    It's really quiet.
[16:51] Ichigo (015)
    We're coming in, Hiro.
[16:58] Zero Two (002)
    Darli—
[17:02] Ichigo (015)
    Why?
[17:03] Miku (390)
    No way!
[17:04] Miku (390)
    I kept watch the entire time!
[17:06] Mitsuru (326)
    Look at that.
[17:09] Goro (056)
    That guy...
[17:11] Ikuno (196)
    He got out from there?
[17:12] Zorome (666)
    He's so reckless.
[17:15] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro...
[17:17] Ichigo (015)
    Why?
[17:18] Zero Two (002)
    You tricked me.
[17:22] Zero Two (002)
    You lied to me.
[17:25] Goro (056)
    N-No, Zero Two! We didn't mean to!
[17:28] Goro (056)
    Hiro must've... I know!
    He must've gone to see you!
[17:31] Zero Two (002)
    Shut your mouth!
[17:35] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two, it's me.
[17:38] Hiro (016)
    I, um... want to ask you something.
[17:41] Hiro (016)
    And I want to talk to you about something.
[17:43] Hiro (016)
    Remember when you said you
    weren't afraid to die?
[17:47] Hiro (016)
    I'm the same.
[17:49] Hiro (016)
    But that's why I want to
    make sure of several things.
[17:55] Hiro (016)
    Did you...
[17:57] Hiro (016)
    Did you use me, knowing all along?
[18:04] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two?
[18:07] Hiro (016)
    Isn't she in?
[18:12] Hiro (016)
    What is all this?
[18:30] Zero Two (002)
    Humans are so weak!
[18:33] Zero Two (002)
    Get it now? Never stand in my way—
[18:37] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[18:40] Zero Two (002)
    Darling.
[18:42] Hiro (016)
    What are you doing?
[18:44] Zero Two (002)
    I finally got to see you, darling.
[18:47] Zero Two (002)
    There's something I want
    to talk to you about.
[18:50] Ichigo (015)
    Ichigo!
[18:50] Ichigo (015)
    You okay?
[18:52] Ichigo (015)
    Ichigo? Ichigo!
[18:54] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro...
[18:56] Ichigo (015)
    Run away.
[18:59] Hiro (016)
    Why would you do this?!
[19:01] Zero Two (002)
    "Why"?
[19:03] Zero Two (002)
    You asked me to speak my
    mind with you, remember?
[19:07] Zero Two (002)
    But these guys just wouldn't let me.
[19:11] Zero Two (002)
    So I...
[19:12] Hiro (016)
    No...
[19:14] Zero Two (002)
    Let's talk lots and lots, okay?
[19:17] Zero Two (002)
    It's not too late. We can still take it back...
[19:19] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[19:21] Hiro (016)
    At this moment, you truly are a monster.
[19:23] Hiro (016)
    You aren't human.
[19:27] Zero Two (002)
    This is punishment.
[19:30] Zero Two (002)
    I set up the boy who was the
    sole reason I wanted to be human
[19:35] Zero Two (002)
    and tried to make him the
    same kind of monster as me.
[19:38] Zero Two (002)
    So this is my punishment.
[20:37] Ichigo (015)
    This was for the best, Hiro.
[20:39] Ichigo (015)
    Let's head inside.
[21:11] Ichigo (015)
    I won't let you!
[21:12] Ichigo (015)
    I won't let you!
[21:13] Ichigo (015)
    I'm not letting you go!
[21:16] Ichigo (015)
    If you go back to her,
    you'll turn into a monster!
[21:20] Ichigo (015)
    You won't be the same ever again!
[21:22] Ichigo (015)
    I'd rather die than let that happen!
[21:25] Hiro (016)
    But...
[21:39] Nine Alpha
    Welcome home, Nine Iota.
[21:42] Nine Alpha
    Take a look. The doctor brought
    them all here for you.
[21:47] Nine Alpha
    Use as many as you like.
[21:54] Ichigo (015)
    I don't regret the kiss we
    shared during the mock battle.
[22:00] Ichigo (015)
    I want to be with you forever!
[22:03] Ichigo (015)
    I'll make it so I can ride
    with you this time, I swear!
[22:07] Ichigo (015)
    I can do anything for you.
[22:10] Ichigo (015)
    It's true.
[22:11] Ichigo (015)
    I mean, I've always...
[22:16] Ichigo (015)
    You've always been my everything.
[22:18] Ichigo (015)
    Ever since we were kids,
[22:21] Ichigo (015)
    I've always, always had eyes for you alone.
[22:24] Ichigo (015)
    I...
[22:29] Ichigo (015)
    I love you, Hiro!

SIGN    Plantation #13: "Cerasus"
[00:10] Hachi
    This mission has but one objective:
[00:12] Hachi
    taking control of the area
    known as Gran Crevasse.
[00:15] ---
    Internal Briefing Room
[00:16] Hachi
    The 4th United Company is
    currently carrying out attacks,

[19:12] Zero Two (002)
    D-Don't look at me!
[19:15] Zero Two (002)
    Aren't you scared of me?
[19:18] Zero Two (002)
    I used you, you know.
[19:22] Hiro (016)
    That doesn't matter anymore!
[19:24] Zero Two (002)
    But... But I called you fodder!
[19:29] Hiro (016)
    And I called you a monster!
[19:31] Hiro (016)
    So we're even now.
[19:34] Zero Two (002)
    That's right. I am a monster.
[19:37] Zero Two (002)
    So...

    That's not it! We've gotta talk it out!
[19:41] Hiro (016)

    There must be places we have to go!

    This world is surely much, much

    let's go see the outside world together!

[00:05] Hiro (016)
    One day, she meets a human prince

    "I want to live as a human.

    That day, in the Battle of Gran Crevasse,

    The only thing we were told
[04:23] Futoshi (214)
    was that food supplies would

    That was all.

[04:38] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.

    But it might be drinkable if we filter it.
[04:44] Mitsuru (326)
    That said, there's no telling

[07:33] Goro (056)
    You know, we were fighting battles
    in which we could die at any time,

    but not having to fight makes

    If you're okay with me, I'd love to!
[08:13] Mitsuru (326)
    What was I even hoping for?
[08:18] Mitsuru (326)
    Did I want him to apologize?
[08:20] Mitsuru (326)
    Or was I searching for
    a reason to forgive him?
[08:29] Mitsuru (326)
    I got it all mixed up.

    Both the promise we made,
    and how he'd forgotten about it...
[08:35] Mitsuru (326)
    He'd done nothing wrong.
[08:39] Mitsuru (326)
    Maybe I was using my grudge against
    Hiro to carve out a niche for myself.
[08:44] Mitsuru (326)
    And now, I have nothing...
[08:49] Kokoro (556)
    Look up, Mitsuru.
[08:57] Mitsuru (326)
    Wh-What?
[09:00] Mitsuru (326)
    Does my hair look weird?
[09:02] Kokoro (556)
    No. You look very handsome.
[09:08] Kokoro (556)
    If you understand that,
    you can start all over again.
[09:12] Kokoro (556)
    Even after the misunderstandings, I believe
    that the promise you two made is real.
[09:19] Mitsuru (326)
    Thank you.
[09:23] Mitsuru (326)
    It's funny. Hearing that from you
    makes me feel like I can do anything.
[09:30] Mitsuru (326)
    You're very kind.

    It must be the Child Fever.

    Oh, they're a really pretty color.

    I can't wait to see them.

    What do you think of our lives right now?
[10:26] Zero Two (002)
    I'm having fun.
[10:27] Hiro (016)
    You don't find it a pain?
[10:29] Zero Two (002)
    Not at all.
[10:30] Zero Two (002)
    In fact, I'd love to live like this forever.
[10:34] Hiro (016)
    I feel the same way, actually.
[10:36] Hiro (016)
    I do have my worries,
[10:38] Hiro (016)
    but all of this is new, and it's
    so interesting and exciting.

    And...
[10:48] Zero Two (002)
    I was supposed to go bathing with the girls!
[10:51] Hiro (016)
    Huh? Oh...
[10:53] Zero Two (002)
    No peeking, darling.
[10:56] Miku (390)
    Did you see Mitsuru's hair?
[11:02] Miku (390)
    So you really did cut it for him, Kokoro.

    Hey, sit right!
[11:13] Zero Two (002)
    Okay.
[11:15] Miku (390)
    Your hair really is so pretty.
[11:17] Zero Two (002)
    Darling also said it was
    a pretty color earlier.
[11:22] Zero Two (002)
    He said flowers the same
    color would bloom soon.
[11:26] Miku (390)
    Do you two always talk
    about corny stuff like that?
[11:30] Zero Two (002)
    Now you've done it!
[11:33] Ichigo (015)
    Sheesh.
[11:33] Ikuno (196)
    Hey...
[11:34] Zero Two (002)
    I'll wash your hair for you now, Miku.
[11:37] Miku (390)
    I'll wash it myself!
[11:46] Zero Two (002)
    Guess I'll take the body, then!
[11:49] Miku (390)
    Wait, stop!
[11:51] Miku (390)
    That tickles!
[11:54] Hiro (016)
    We have around five sources
    we can use for drinking water.
[11:58] Mitsuru (326)
    And two of them are only
    usable with filtering.
[12:01] Ikuno (196)
    Can't we repair the circulation
    system ourselves?
[12:05] Hiro (016)
    Mistilteinn doesn't have the equipment
    to get it back up and running.
[12:10] Futoshi (214)
    And our access to the
    elevator is restricted, right?
[12:13] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[12:14] Zorome (666)
    Why don't we just send a letter
    to Papa and ask him to fix it?
[12:19] Goro (056)
    I don't think there'd be any point to that.
[12:22] Zorome (666)
    Huh? What makes you so sure?
[12:25] Miku (390)
    Man, we never realized how big a part
    the caretakers played in our lives, huh?
[12:30] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah. They always made sure we
    had hot food and clean clothes.
[12:35] Miku (390)
    What'll become of us if we
    stop getting rations, too?
[12:48] Zero Two (002)
    We could just cook our own food, then.
[12:53] Hiro (016)
    Right.
[12:55] Hiro (016)
    The river still had fish in it.
    If we can cook them...
[12:58] Miku (390)
    But none of us have ever done that before.

    Actually, I think that's a pretty good idea.
[13:10] Mitsuru (326)
    I believe we had books about
    cooking in the study.
[13:15] Kokoro (556)
    Then maybe we could do it after all.
[13:18] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah.
[13:20] Ichigo (015)
    I want to give it a shot, too.
[13:25] Zero Two (002)
    That's that, then!
[13:30] Futoshi (214)
    Look, Zorome!
[13:32] Zorome (666)
    Aren't you dieting? Why are
    you so gung-ho about this?
[13:35] Futoshi (214)
    But this is fun! Look at
    this stuff burning up!
[13:43] Zorome (666)
    Wow, you're right! That's so cool!
[13:54] Ichigo (015)
    Welcome back.
[13:56] Zero Two (002)
    We're back!
[13:57] Zorome (666)
    Wow, what a haul.
[14:00] Zero Two (002)
    I caught eleven!
[14:01] Miku (390)
    Really?
[14:02] Futoshi (214)
    That's awesome.
[14:04] Miku (390)
    How about you, Goro?
[14:05] Goro (056)
    Two fewer than Zero Two.
[14:07] Kokoro (556)
    That's still amazing.
[14:09] Mitsuru (326)
    Yeah.
[14:10] Ichigo (015)
    And Hiro?
[14:12] Hiro (016)
    I didn't catch any.
[14:14] Zorome (666)
    Are you kidding me, Hiro? That's so lame!
[14:15] Zero Two (002)
    I'll teach you all the tricks later.
[14:18] Zorome (666)
    I'll go fishing next, then.
[14:20] Miku (390)
    I wanna go, too!
[14:22] Kokoro (556)
    Could you teach me how to fish, too?
[14:23] Goro (056)
    What's up?
[14:24] Zero Two (002)
    Sure thing. I'll show you now.
[14:25] Ichigo (015)
    Oh, I was just thinking
    how the mood has changed.
[14:29] Zero Two (002)
    When the rod twitches,
    you immediately reel that thing in!
[14:32] Kokoro (556)
    I don't know if I can...
[14:34] Zero Two (002)
    It's easy!
[14:34] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro was right.
[14:37] Ichigo (015)
    I'd had it in my head that
    Zero Two was different from us...
[14:41] Ichigo (015)
    That she had different reasons
    and goals for fighting.
[14:44] Ichigo (015)
    I painted her as an unapproachable enigma
[14:47] Ichigo (015)
    and never even tried to
    see her for who she was.
[14:50] Goro (056)
    Ichigo...
[14:52] Ichigo (015)
    We'll probably never fully understand
    what happened between them,
[14:56] Ichigo (015)
    but right now, she's an ordinary girl.
[15:00] Ichigo (015)
    She's one of us, an irreplaceable
    part of Squad 13.
[15:03] Goro (056)
    Yeah, I agree.
[15:06] Ichigo (015)
    I want what's best for both Zero Two
[15:10] Ichigo (015)
    and Hiro.
[15:16] Zorome (666)
    We're incredible!
[15:18] Zorome (666)
    We actually cooked for ourselves!
[15:20] Miku (390)
    Weren't you slacking at first?
[15:23] Goro (056)
    You never know what you're capable of, huh?
[15:26] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[15:27] Kokoro (556)
    The question is, how will it taste?
[15:30] Mitsuru (326)
    We followed the book's instructions,
    so it should be fine.
[15:33] Ichigo (015)
    Okay, take your seats.
[15:35] Zorome (666)
    Forget about it.
[15:36] Ichigo (015)
    Hey!
[15:37] Zorome (666)
    Why should we have to pray when
    we did everything ourselves?
[15:43] Zorome (666)
    This is pretty good!
[15:45] Miku (390)
    Really?
[15:49] Miku (390)
    Yeah, it's totally edible!
[15:51] Kokoro (556)
    Yay!
[15:56] Ikuno (196)
    This is good.
[15:57] Goro (056)
    Yeah.
[16:02] Zorome (666)
    Hey, we just did something
    awesome, don't you think?
[16:05] Zorome (666)
    I bet none of the other squads
    actually cook for themselves, right?
[16:10] Zero Two (002)
    Yeah. I've never seen any others do that.
[16:13] Zorome (666)
    See? We're truly geniuses!
[16:17] Zorome (666)
    Come on, Futoshi! Eat up!
[16:20] Ichigo (015)
    Someone's let this go straight to his head.
[16:21] Zorome (666)
    Come on, eat up! This is really good!
[16:22] Ikuno (196)
    In a way, that's so him.
[16:25] Ichigo (015)
    Right?
[16:25] Zorome (666)
    Eat already! What's the matter?
[16:25] Goro (056)
    Isn't he getting a bit too worked up, though?
[16:27] Zorome (666)
    Eat, damn you!
[16:33] Mitsuru (326)
    Are you okay?
[16:34] Futoshi (214)
    Oh, I'm fine.
[16:36] Futoshi (214)
    Sorry, my hand slipped.
[16:39] Zorome (666)
    Hey.
[16:41] Zorome (666)
    Quit forcing yourself.
[16:47] Futoshi (214)
    It's fine. I can handle this myself—
[16:49] Zorome (666)
    I know that you're forcing yourself
    to eat and throwing it all back up.
[16:59] Futoshi (214)
    Of course I'm not.
[17:00] Zorome (666)
    Don't lie to me!
[17:02] Goro (056)
    Hey, cut it out.
[17:05] Futoshi (214)
    You're wrong.
[17:06] Zorome (666)
    No, I'm not!
[17:08] Futoshi (214)
    It's not like that!
[17:17] Zorome (666)
    You'd better eat if you wanna survive!
[17:21] Zorome (666)
    Otherwise...
[17:23] Zorome (666)
    If you keep this up...
[17:27] Futoshi (214)
    It's okay! I can eat!
[17:29] Futoshi (214)
    I'll eat it all!
[17:42] Zorome (666)
    Why? Why?
[17:45] Zorome (666)
    Look at us. Why isn't Papa getting in touch?
[17:50] Zorome (666)
    Why isn't he coming to get us?
[17:57] Zorome (666)
    Do you think he cast us aside?
[18:04] Futoshi (214)
    A part of me always thought
    it wasn't our problem.
[18:08] Futoshi (214)
    Even after I saw what happened to Squad 26,
    I was sure it wouldn't happen to me.
[18:14] Mitsuru (326)
    As FRANXX pilots,
    there's a limit to our lives.
[18:18] Mitsuru (326)
    We've always received
    constant reminders of that.
[18:23] Miku (390)
    I was worried the entire time, too.
[18:29] Miku (390)
    But I was too scared to speak up.
[18:32] Ikuno (196)
    Not just you.
[18:34] Ikuno (196)
    I had my fears, too.
[18:38] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah.
[18:40] Goro (056)
    I've been writing to Nana and Hachi
    to let them know how we're doing.
[18:46] Goro (056)
    But they never accepted the letters.
[18:49] Zorome (666)
    What the heck? You'd already tried?
[18:52] Hiro (016)
    Assuming we really have
    been cast aside by Papa...
[18:58] Hiro (016)
    I think that's fine.
[19:00] Hiro (016)
    I'm not worried as long as I'm with you all.
[19:03] Hiro (016)
    As long as we're together,
    we can work things out.
[19:08] Hiro (016)
    Look at today. We cooked our
    own food, and it was a lot of fun.
[19:12] Hiro (016)
    Be it cooking together, or discussing
    how to go about our daily lives,
[19:16] Hiro (016)
    we've never really spent much
    time on these things before.
[19:20] Zorome (666)
    I never said I wasn't having fun.
[19:22] Zorome (666)
    It's just, I...
[19:24] Goro (056)
    Fighting is all we've ever known.
[19:28] Futoshi (214)
    I-I had fun, too! Though I couldn't eat it all...
[19:33] Mitsuru (326)
    We can just cook again.
[19:35] Hiro (016)
    Yeah, Mitsuru's right.
[19:40] Hiro (016)
    Cooking as a group, taking baths,
    and talking things out...
[19:46] Hiro (016)
    I'm finding all of it so enjoyable
    and valuable right now.
[19:50] Hiro (016)
    It's making me feel like this
    is where we truly belong.
[19:55] Ichigo (015)
    Where we belong?
[19:58] Hiro (016)
    There's more to our lives
    than piloting the FRANXX.
[20:21] Mitsuru (326)
    Futoshi...
[20:22] Zorome (666)
    Oh, please! What are you crying for?
[20:25] Futoshi (214)
    You're one to talk!
[20:26] Zorome (666)
    Shaddup!
[20:30] Futoshi (214)
    And now I'm hungry!
[20:33] Miku (390)
    What the heck?
[20:35] Zorome (666)
    Yeah, eat up! You need the energy!
[20:38] Zorome (666)
    Being a fatty is what suits you best.
[20:41] Futoshi (214)
    Seriously, stop calling me that!
[20:44] Zorome (666)
    But you are a fatty!
[20:44] Futoshi (214)
    That day, we cried and laughed
    more than we ever had before.
[20:52] Futoshi (214)
    "Humans! Humans!
[20:55] Futoshi (214)
    They have neither the wings to fly
    nor the claws or fangs to hunt.
[21:00] Futoshi (214)
    Such weak and frail creatures,
[21:04] Futoshi (214)
    but they are so, so warm.
[21:08] Futoshi (214)
    Humans are wonderful!"
[21:12] Hiro (016)
    Wait, isn't this...
[21:14] Zero Two (002)
    Yeah. The picture book we read together.
[21:17] Hiro (016)
    You remember it all? That's incredible.
[21:21] Hiro (016)
    But this story is kinda sad, isn't it?
[21:24] Zero Two (002)
    You think?
[21:26] Zero Two (002)
    It was my first "pretty thing."
[21:31] Zero Two (002)
    I met you and wanted to have
    something beautiful with you.
[21:38] Zero Two (002)
    You showed me the outside world, after all.
[21:42] Zero Two (002)
    But I understood nothing about
    what being human meant.
[21:49] Zero Two (002)
    I was made to realize that it
    wasn't about appearances at all.
[21:54] Zero Two (002)
    You guys shine too brightly in my eyes.
[21:57] Zero Two (002)
    You cry, laugh, get mad,
    and try to live as a group.
[22:03] Zero Two (002)
    And you let me be a part of that.
[22:08] Zero Two (002)
    I realized that this was the kind of
    humanity that I wanted all along.
[22:15] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[22:19] Hiro (016)
    Don't worry.
[22:21] Hiro (016)
    We'll be together forever.

[02:24] Nine Alpha
    To check on you, on Papa's orders.
[02:27] Goro (056)
    Papa's?
[02:28] Goro (056)
    So we weren't cast aside?
[02:33] Nine Alpha
    Of course not!
[02:34] Nine Alpha
    In fact, Papa has been
    worried sick about you.
[02:38] Miku (390)

    I said I'd taken a liking

[03:04] Ichigo (015)
    Huh? All the surviving squads

[03:09] Nine Beta
    Yeah, in a camp of sorts.
[03:12] Nine Beta
    All of the FRANXX are being

[03:14] Ichigo (015)
    I see...
[03:17] Ichigo (015)
    Why were we the only ones left out?
[03:21] Nine Gamma
    It wasn't what Papa wanted, that's for sure.
[03:24] Nine Gamma
    Nana and Hachi should know more about it.
[03:28] Nine Gamma
    I wonder why they didn't tell you anything.
[03:31] Nine Delta
    Why are you crying?
[03:34] Miku (390)

    It's thanks for bringing us good news!

    Don't be shy, now.
[03:49] Zorome (666)
    This stuff is pretty good.
[03:50] Zorome (666)
    Oh, you've never cooked
    for yourselves, have you?
[03:50] Ichigo (015)
    I assumed you were here
    to take Zero Two back.

    We aren't her babysitters.

    seem pleased to see us.
[04:09] Nine Alpha
    How long are you going to keep playing human?
[04:12] Nine Alpha
    You know you'll never be the same as them.
[04:16] Nine Alpha
    They certainly are a unique squad,
    but they're hopelessly imperfect.
[04:21] Nine Alpha
    They're fundamentally different
    from you and us, Iota.
[04:24] Zero Two (002)
    Zero Two.
[04:27] Nine Alpha
    What?
[04:28] Zero Two (002)
    My name's Zero Two.
[04:31] Nine Alpha
    You're throwing away the Special
    Forces codename Papa gave you?
[04:37] Zero Two (002)
    My darling gave me this name.
    It's important to me.

    Well, I wish you luck...

[04:56] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, Miku made it for me.
[04:58] Hiro (016)
    Wow.
[04:59] Zero Two (002)
    Don't stare.
[05:02] Hiro (016)
    It looks great.
[05:06] Zero Two (002)
    On second thought, you may stare.
[05:14] Zero Two (002)
    They've grown bigger.
[05:16] Hiro (016)
    Do you think they really are horns?
[05:18] Zero Two (002)
    It must be because you rode with me.
[05:21] Zero Two (002)
    Or maybe because you ingested
    my blood when we were little.
[05:27] Zero Two (002)
    I've drastically altered
    your destiny, haven't I?
[05:37] Zero Two (002)
    Darling...

    This actually makes me happy.
[05:51] Ichigo (015)
    It's like I'm the same as you now.
[05:55] Zero Two (002)
    Right.
[05:58] Zero Two (002)
    Y'know, darling,
[06:00] Zero Two (002)
    that picture book is inside me now.
[06:05] Zero Two (002)
    I ate it all when they were
    trying to erase my memories.
[06:09] Zero Two (002)
    I didn't want to forget.
[06:12] Zero Two (002)
    I started wanting to become human
    because I wanted to see you again.
[06:17] Zero Two (002)
    That's when they told me that I
    could do that by killing klaxosaurs.
[06:24] Zero Two (002)
    I shouldn't have believed them.
[06:26] Hiro (016)
    Papa and the rest told you that?
[06:34] Zero Two (002)
    Hey, show me.
[06:37] Zero Two (002)

    Since the Nines are here now,
[08:04] Kokoro (556)
    someone will surely come

    But I'd be a bit sad to leave this place.
[08:23] Mitsuru (326)
    I mean, we only began spending time

    Mitsuru...
[08:39] Mitsuru (326)
    Kokoro?

    Boys and girls have such different bodies.

    Well... I read that a boy and a girl
[09:02] Kokoro (556)
    can create a new life by
    joining their bodies together.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[09:28] Zorome (666)
    Did you two just try to
    stick your bodies together?
[09:31] Zorome (666)
    What, are you imitating Hiro and Zero Two?
[09:34] Mitsuru (326)
    D-Did you need something?
[09:36] Zorome (666)
    Huh? Oh, yeah. You're on
    water duty today, remember?
[09:40] Zorome (666)
    A-Anyway, what were you two—
[09:42] Mitsuru (326)
    I'll go get the water now, okay?
[09:44] Zorome (666)
    Wh-What the heck, man?
    Hurry it up, would you?
[09:50] Mitsuru (326)
    Why did you do that out of nowhere?
[09:53] Kokoro (556)
    It wasn't out of nowhere. I've been
    thinking about it for a long time.
[10:05] Hiro (016)
    Huh?
[10:07] Mitsuru (326)
    Hiro...
[10:10] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't understand what Kokoro's thinking.
[10:15] Hiro (016)
    I see...
[10:18] Hiro (016)
    You've changed a little, huh?
[10:22] Hiro (016)
    Until now, you'd been
    distancing yourself from us.
[10:28] Hiro (016)
    But that was all my fault, wasn't it?
[10:34] Hiro (016)
    Because I broke our promise.
[10:38] Hiro (016)
    But now, you've taken an interest in someone.
[10:42] Hiro (016)
    You want to know Kokoro better.
[10:44] Hiro (016)
    You want to understand what she's thinking.
[10:47] Mitsuru (326)
    I want to know Kokoro better?
[10:51] Hiro (016)
    Yeah. And that's probably what
    it means to love someone.
[10:57] Hiro (016)
    I mean, I love Zero Two,
    and I want to know her better.
[11:06] Mitsuru (326)
    Oh... I love Kokoro...
[11:13] Hiro (016)
    Sorry if I'm mistaken.
[11:15] Hiro (016)
    Unfortunately, I can only
    tell you how it is for me.
[11:20] Mitsuru (326)
    No, I think that's very much like you.
[11:28] Mitsuru (326)
    I'm glad I got to have a nice
    chat with you after so long.
[11:34] Miku (390)
    Oh, there he is.
[11:39] Ichigo (015)
    Zorome told us about you and Kokoro, Mitsuru.
[11:43] Ikuno (196)
    I have to say, I'm not really surprised.
[11:45] Zorome (666)
    All I did was ask if a boy and a girl
    getting all clingy was the cool thing to do!
[11:50] Miku (390)
    Shut up, you big baby!
[11:54] Futoshi (214)
    H-Hey, have you k-kissed?
[11:56] Futoshi (214)
    Have you two kissed?!
[11:58] Mitsuru (326)
    W-Well...
[12:01] Futoshi (214)
    N-No! My Kokoro!
[12:05] Ikuno (196)
    Settle down.
[12:06] Futoshi (214)
    B-But if the two of them are happy, I... I...
[12:11] Nine Alpha
    Hey, guys.
[12:14] Nine Alpha
    Do you recognize this?
SIGN    Your First Childbirth
    — What's Best for Your Baby —
[12:18] Nine Alpha
    Looks like you do.
SIGN    Your First Childbirth
    — What's Best for Your Baby —
[12:20] Nine Alpha
    Mind giving us an explanation,
[12:23] Nine Alpha
    Code 556?
SIGN    Your First Childbirth
    — What's Best for Your Baby —
[12:26] Nine Alpha
    You're the one who dropped this, aren't you?
[12:29] Nine Alpha
    But this is really strange.
[12:31] Nine Alpha
    It wouldn't have been
    provided in the study here,
[12:34] Nine Alpha
    and it surely doesn't belong to you.
[12:37] Nine Alpha
    What's the meaning of this?
[12:38] Miku (390)
    Huh? What is that?
[12:40] Zorome (666)
    What's that book about?
[12:41] Mitsuru (326)
    Well...
[12:42] Kokoro (556)
    I'm sorry for not telling you all.
[12:48] Kokoro (556)
    I want to make a baby.
[12:52] Miku (390)
    A baby?
[12:54] Ichigo (015)
    Like animal babies?
[12:55] Futoshi (214)
    And how exactly would you make one?
[12:58] Nine Alpha
    Wow. But you do know that
    Papa's banned that, right?
[13:02] Zorome (666)
    Huh? Really? Sounds like trouble!
[13:05] Goro (056)
    Did she tell you anything?
[13:09] Kokoro (556)
    Y-You know,
[13:10] Kokoro (556)
    is that really such a bad thing?
[13:13] Kokoro (556)
    I mean, that's how the adults, we,
[13:18] Kokoro (556)
    and all humans were born.
[13:20] Futoshi (214)
    What? Didn't Papa create us?
[13:24] Kokoro (556)
    No. We're the same as any other animal.
[13:28] Kokoro (556)
    It's what we've done since ancient times.
[13:31] Kokoro (556)
    That's how all living things have kept
    their species going for thousands of years.
[13:36] Kokoro (556)
    So, well...
[13:38] Kokoro (556)
    That must be why we have boys and girls.
[13:43] Kokoro (556)
    This may be selfish of me,
[13:46] Kokoro (556)
    but I want to leave a mark—leave
    something behind before I'm gone.
[13:50] Nine Alpha
    Leave a mark?
[13:52] Kokoro (556)
    Yes.
[13:52] Kokoro (556)
    We've lived our lives believing our only
    purpose was to ride the FRANXX into battle.
[13:59] Kokoro (556)
    But you know what?
[14:00] Kokoro (556)
    That might not be true!
[14:03] Kokoro (556)
    We could carry new lives and
    leave them here for the future.
[14:08] Kokoro (556)
    When I learned about that, I was so happy...
[14:12] Nine Alpha
    Disgusting.
[14:16] Nine Alpha
    You are absolutely disgusting.
[14:20] Nine Alpha
    This is ridiculous.
[14:22] Nine Alpha
    Humans have evolved and cast their
    reproductive functions aside in the process.
[14:28] Nine Alpha
    Reject that, and we'll all have to go
    back to conforming to one gender.
[14:34] Kokoro (556)
    B-But...
[14:36] Nine Alpha
    Doesn't the thought often cross your mind?
[14:39] Nine Alpha
    That gender is a pain, an annoyance that's
    only tolerated to operate the FRANXX?
[14:45] Nine Alpha
    And that's all it really is.
[14:48] Mitsuru (326)
    That's...
[14:54] Ichigo (015)
    Ikuno?!
[14:55] Ikuno (196)
    A pain?
[14:57] Ikuno (196)
    So what if it's a pain?!
[15:01] Nine Alpha
    Humans have also cast away their tendency
    to be ruled by emotions like that.
[15:07] Nine Alpha
    Because it serves zero purpose in life.
[15:10] Nine Alpha
    And yet, look at you people...
[15:12] Ikuno (196)
    Why, you!
[15:13] Goro (056)
    Cut it out!
[15:14] Goro (056)
    Calm down, Ikuno!
[15:15] Ikuno (196)
    Let me go!
[15:16] Nana
    That's enough!
[15:18] Goro (056)
    Nana! Hachi!
[15:22] Nana
    This is why I didn't want
    to let the Nines in!
[15:25] Nana
    I knew it'd be nothing but trouble!
[15:30] Hachi
    Papa sent them. We couldn't
    just turn them away.
[15:34] Nana
    Now that things have come to this,
    we ought to put an end to this test.
[15:39] Kokoro (556)
    What do you mean?
[15:41] Hachi
    It was on the doctor's orders that we
    didn't contact you over the past month.
[15:47] Hachi
    He said it was to be Squad 13's final test.
[15:50] Hachi
    Of course, we still monitored
    you the entire time.
[15:53] Nana
    We know what you were trying
    to do with Mitsuru, too.
[15:58] Nana
    You want to make a baby?
[16:01] Nana
    That's something nobody is allowed
    to even speak of, let alone do.
[16:04] Kokoro (556)
    But...
[16:05] Kokoro (556)
    Why do our bodies still have
    reproductive organs, then?
[16:10] Nana
    Because they're necessary
    for piloting the FRANXX.
[16:15] Nana
    That's why only children have them.
[16:17] Nana
    That's all there is to it.
[16:19] Nana
    Don't think your squad is special.
[16:22] Kokoro (556)
    What about these feelings, then?
[16:24] Kokoro (556)
    Why do we still have emotions?!
[16:31] Nana
    Quiet!
[16:32] ---
    Nana...
[16:33] Nana
    Shut up!
[16:35] Hachi
    Return to the dorm. We'll give
    you your orders in due time.
[16:43] Hachi
    When did it start?
[16:44] Nana
    A week or so ago.
[16:47] Nana
    Watching them go about their lives
    made me feel so irritated, and...
[16:52] Nine Alpha
    Oh? Did you relapse into puberty?
[16:57] Nana
    N-No!
[16:59] Nana
    Puberty? Me? Never!
[17:01] Nine Alpha
    Didn't you two already undergo emotional
    indoctrination when you were parasites?
[17:08] Nine Alpha
    Relapsing is really bad news.
[17:10] Nine Alpha
    You should have her replaced with a new Nana.
[17:15] Nine Alpha
    I hope you go back to doing
    your actual job from now on,
[17:19] Nine Alpha
    instead of getting up to
    mischief with the doctor.
[17:23] Nine Alpha
    I'll be reporting this to Papa and the rest.
[17:28] Dr. Franxx
    Oh, so Nana is useless now?
[17:31] Hachi
    I believe continuing the
    test will be difficult.
[17:35] Dr. Franxx
    I'm sure.
[17:37] Dr. Franxx
    But I gained some intriguing data.
[17:39] Dr. Franxx
    The development of humanity's
    original reproductive instincts...
[17:43] Dr. Franxx
    That's far beyond my expectations.
[17:53] Sage B
    This is development that differs greatly
    from human civilization and culture.
[17:58] Sage B
    I never expected the klaxosaurs
    to still possess such technology.
[18:13] Sage B
    It is a great pleasure to meet you,
    Princess of the Klaxosaurs.
[18:18] Sage B
    Humans and klaxosaurs have waged
    a war spanning close to a century,
[18:23] Sage B
    and you have shown truly
    admirable spirit and fortitude.
[18:27] Sage B
    But it is now time for this protracted war
    to be consigned to the history books.
[18:32] Sage B
    You no longer stand any chance of victory.
[18:34] Sage B
    Cease your resistance at once,
    and surrender to us.
[18:42] Sage B
    Are these words? Sent directly to the brain?
[18:46] Sage B
    What? What are you saying?!
[18:49] Sage B
    That can't be!
[18:52] Sage D
    Prepare to die, Princess of the Klaxosaurs!
[18:54] Sage B
    N-No... Don't...
[19:06] Sage B
    Wait!
[19:08] Sage B
    N-No! This isn't what we wanted!
[19:11] Sage B
    We only came here to ask you to surrender.
[19:31] 001
    Damned human wannabes.
[19:39] Futoshi (214)
    Kokoro sure is taking a while to return.
[19:42] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah...
[19:44] Miku (390)
    I had no idea Kokoro had that on her mind.
[19:47] Miku (390)
    I wish she'd talked to me about it.
[19:50] Ikuno (196)
    Everyone has things they can't talk about.
[19:56] Miku (390)
    Do you think we really can make babies?
[19:59] Zorome (666)
    Who knows? We weren't taught about it.
[20:03] Goro (056)
    And if Papa didn't create us,
[20:07] Goro (056)
    how exactly were we born?
[20:08] Zorome (666)
    Again, how are we supposed to know?!
[20:11] Goro (056)
    What do you think, Hiro?
[20:14] Hiro (016)
    I'm not sure.
[20:15] Hiro (016)
    But we may have the potential to do
    something Papa hasn't told us about.
[20:22] Goro (056)
    You mean what Kokoro said?
[20:24] Ichigo (015)
    To leave something for the future...
[20:26] Miku (390)
    The future...
[20:27] Futoshi (214)
    The future, huh?
[20:30] Zero Two (002)
    I'm so envious.
[20:32] Miku (390)
    Envious? About what?
[20:35] Zero Two (002)
    The leaving something behind part.
    My body can't do that.
[20:39] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[20:41] Zero Two (002)
    It's wonderful.
[20:43] Zero Two (002)
    You're all wonderful.
[20:45] Zero Two (002)
    You have the ability to decide
    your futures with your own hearts.
[20:55] Mitsuru (326)
    Kokoro...
[21:03] Kokoro (556)
    I was wrong about everything.
[21:08] Kokoro (556)
    I'm sorry I tried to force
    you to go along with it.
[21:13] Kokoro (556)
    I'm so sorry.
[21:15] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't apologize.
[21:17] Mitsuru (326)
    You weren't forcing me to do anything.
[21:19] Kokoro (556)
    Liar!
[21:24] Kokoro (556)
    Don't bother trying to be nice.
[21:28] Kokoro (556)
    Just leave me alone.
[21:31] Mitsuru (326)
    No!
[21:35] Mitsuru (326)
    Don't decide things on your own!
[21:37] Mitsuru (326)
    Lean on me more!
[21:40] Mitsuru (326)
    I want to make you happy!
[21:43] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru, is it such a bad
    thing to create a new life?
[21:48] Kokoro (556)
    Aren't we allowed to think about the future?
[22:00] Ikuno (196)
    Everything comes to an end eventually.
[22:03] Ikuno (196)
    The only difference is whether
    it happens sooner or later.
[22:13] Ikuno (196)
    As for what comes after that,
[22:17] Ikuno (196)
    we know nothing.
[22:22] Ikuno (196)
    Nothing at all.
[22:27] Head
    So the klaxosaur princess chose to
    go down the path of annihilation?
[22:31] Vice Chairman
    So foolish.
[22:32] Vice Chairman
    And now, they'll feel the pain of having
    their earth scorched by their own creation.
[22:42] Nine Alpha
    We're back, Papa.
[22:45] Nine Alpha
    There's something you need to know.

[00:13] Kokoro (556)
    Good morning.
[00:21] Mitsuru (326)
    Beautiful, isn't it?
[00:23] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah.
[01:58] Hachi
    We will abandon Mistilteinn shortly.
    Be ready to leave at any time.
[02:04] Ichigo (015)
    Abandon it? So suddenly?
[02:07] Hachi
    The situation has changed.
[02:08] Hachi
    When the next supply ship arrives,
    we will take it to the parasite camp.
[02:14] Ichigo (015)
    After ignoring us for so long,
    where is this coming from?
[02:20] Ichigo (015)
    So they were watching us the whole time.
[02:23] Hiro (016)
    You okay? How's your fever?
[02:27] Goro (056)
    Oh, it's no big deal.
[02:31] Hiro (016)
    Miku had one recently, too.
[02:34] Goro (056)
    Goes to show that we all have our issues.
[02:42] Goro (056)
    What's wrong, Ichigo?
[02:47] Goro (056)
    Abandon, huh?
[02:50] Ichigo (015)
    Can't we stay here somehow?
[02:53] Goro (056)
    We only have rations for
    a few more days at best.
[02:56] Goro (056)
    Besides, Mistilteinn won't
    last very long itself.
[03:13] Goro (056)
    Looking back, our life
    here wasn't all that bad.
[03:17] Ichigo (015)
    But we can't stay here anymore.
[03:21] Ichigo (015)
    That's kinda sad.
[03:24] Hiro (016)
    Hey...
[03:26] Hiro (016)
    There's something I'd like us
    to do while we're still here.
[03:31] All
    A wedding?
[03:33] Miku (390)
    What's that?
[03:35] Hiro (016)
    It was a ceremony where two
    humans of old would make a vow
[03:40] Hiro (016)
    to be true to each other in sickness and
    in health, and never part until death.
[03:46] Hiro (016)
    That's what it means to marry,
    or so this book said.
[03:49] Miku (390)
    And who's gonna marry at this wedding?
[03:53] Hiro (016)
    Kokoro and Mitsuru.
[03:55] Kokoro (556)
    Hiro told us about it, and we
    thought it sounded wonderful.
[04:00] Mitsuru (326)
    We decided to do it before
    leaving this place.
[04:06] Goro (056)
    You've got some nerve to try this
    after how much they yelled at you.
[04:09] Miku (390)
    That sounds so romantic!
    You have my full support!
[04:13] Zorome (666)
    I don't really get it,
[04:15] Zorome (666)
    but it's a good way to make
    one last memory here...
[04:23] Kokoro (556)
    Futoshi, listen, I...
[04:29] Futoshi (214)
    I'm taking this role!
[04:31] Futoshi (214)
    I don't care what you guys say! I'm doing it!
[04:34] Futoshi (214)
    I... I want to be right beside Kokoro
    and Mitsuru and congratulate them!
[04:41] Kokoro (556)
    Thank you, Futoshi.
[04:43] Goro (056)
    We'll have to get to work right away, then.
[04:44] Zorome (666)
    Cheer up, man.
[04:47] Zorome (666)
    Yeah.
[04:47] All
    Right.
[04:50] Kokoro (556)
    That's the wedding dress?
[04:52] Zero Two (002)
    Yep. It's what you wear for the ceremony.
[04:54] Kokoro (556)
    It's so pretty.
[04:56] Kokoro (556)
    But can we really make it?
    What material can we use?
[05:03] Miku (390)
    Turn our curtains into a dress?
    You sure come up with some crazy ideas.
[05:07] Ichigo (015)
    Well, they're white. Just what we need.
[05:18] Ichigo (015)
    "Our potential," huh?
[05:28] Goro (056)
    What are those?
[05:29] Mitsuru (326)
    Rings. You apparently exchange
    them during the ceremony.
[05:33] Goro (056)
    Huh... Sounds nice.
[05:36] Goro (056)
    I bet Kokoro will love it.
[05:39] Mitsuru (326)
    I sure hope so.
[05:47] Futoshi (214)
    That should be enough chairs, right?
[05:49] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[05:58] Zorome (666)
    Hiro!
[06:02] Zorome (666)
    Hey, pass!
[06:14] Zorome (666)
    Y'know, don't you wanna
    make this a bit more grand?
[06:17] Hiro (016)
    Grand?
[06:19] Miku (390)
    Hey! How long are you gonna play around?
[06:22] Zorome (666)
    Oh, quit being a nag!
    I was about to get to work!
[06:25] Miku (390)
    Then help out with the preparations a little!
[06:29] Ichigo (015)
    Are you awake, Ikuno?
[06:33] Ichigo (015)
    Still feeling under the weather?
    Do you have a fever?
[06:37] Ikuno (196)
    Don't worry. It isn't like that.
[06:42] Ichigo (015)
    Listen, did something happen with the Nines?
[06:48] Ichigo (015)
    I'd never seen you get so angry before.
[06:57] Ikuno (196)
    Nothing, really.
[06:58] Ichigo (015)
    Sorry. I didn't mean to pry.
[07:01] Ichigo (015)
    I get it. If that didn't
    make us mad, nothing would.
[07:07] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks for doing that for Kokoro and Mitsuru.
[07:13] Ikuno (196)
    You're wrong. I didn't do it for them.
[07:16] Ichigo (015)
    Then why?
[07:18] Ikuno (196)
    Do you want to know?
[07:20] Ikuno (196)
    Are you that interested in me?
[07:23] Ichigo (015)
    Ikuno? What...
[07:27] Ikuno (196)
    I was thinking the same thing
    as the Nines back then.
[07:32] Ikuno (196)
    And I slapped Alpha in order to hide that.
[07:35] Ichigo (015)
    What do you mean, the same thing?
[07:38] Ikuno (196)
    Only a boy and girl together
    can operate a FRANXX.
[07:42] Ikuno (196)
    And I've always wished that
    annoying system would go to hell.
[07:46] Ichigo (015)
    Ikuno?
[07:48] Ikuno (196)
    But you know what I realized?
[07:51] Ikuno (196)
    As much as I find it a pain, I wouldn't
    be myself if I refused to acknowledge it.
[07:59] Ikuno (196)
    You wouldn't be who you are without it.
[08:03] Ikuno (196)
    And I would hate that.
[08:06] Ikuno (196)
    God, my feelings are such a mess!
[08:11] Ichigo (015)
    Your feelings?
[08:13] Ikuno (196)
    I love you, Ichigo.
[08:19] Ichigo (015)
    Why me?
[08:23] Ikuno (196)
    You were the one who gave me my name.
[08:27] (Flashback) Boy A
    Ikuro. She's Ikuro.
[08:30] (Flashback) Boy B
    That's such a weird name.
[08:31] Ikuno (196)
    Remember how everyone started following
    in Hiro's footsteps and naming each other?
[08:40] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    "No."
[08:42] (Flashback) Ichigo (015)
    Your name's "Ikuno" now. Like it?
[08:46] Ikuno (196)
    I bet you think it's a silly reason.
[08:49] Ikuno (196)
    But ever since that day,
    I've only had eyes for you.
[08:57] Ikuno (196)
    You changed your hair
    clip a while ago, right?
[09:01] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah.
[09:02] Ikuno (196)
    I notice these things about you.
[09:04] Ikuno (196)
    Did you lose the old one?
[09:07] Ikuno (196)
    Or did a certain someone give you a new one?
[09:11] Ikuno (196)
    I'm a creep, aren't I?
[09:12] Ikuno (196)
    I get insanely jealous of boys who get to
    stand beside you just because they're boys.
[09:20] Ikuno (196)
    I want to keep you all to myself.
[09:23] Ikuno (196)
    That's so selfish, right?
[09:25] Ikuno (196)
    It's a pain, isn't it?
[09:27] Ikuno (196)
    Why am I like this?
[09:30] Ikuno (196)
    I hate being like this!
[09:36] Ichigo (015)
    Oh... She's just like I used to be.
[09:44] Ikuno (196)
    Ichigo?
[09:46] Ichigo (015)
    There's nothing wrong with being a pain.
[09:49] Ichigo (015)
    I'm a pretty big one myself.
[09:53] Ichigo (015)
    We're all complicated, difficult, and a pain.
[09:56] Ichigo (015)
    But, y'know, I've started thinking
    that we're fine this way.
[10:02] Ichigo (015)
    I get the feeling that going through
    all of this is what life is all about.
[10:10] Ikuno (196)
    I probably won't be able
    to give up very easily.
[10:14] Ikuno (196)
    I don't often take no for an answer.

    But many people still made the
    choice to become immortal.
[07:14] Werner Frank
    Around that time, mankind recovered
    from its rut thanks to magma energy
[07:20] Werner Frank
    and quickly approached the
    apex of material civilization.
[07:23] Werner Frank
    But the only ones to benefit from it were
    the rich, with access to immortality.
[07:28] Werner Frank
    The class divide continued to grow ever wider.
[07:31] Werner Frank
    Some years later, to combat the population
    explosion resulting from immortality,
[07:35] Werner Frank
    a law was passed in East Asia
    to heavily tax childbirth.
[07:40] Werner Frank
    It was the first step toward mankind
    abandoning its procreative instincts.
[07:44] Werner Frank
    At the same time,
[07:45] Werner Frank
    rapid desertification was observed in
    the southern parts of North America.
[07:50] Werner Frank
    Some identified the mining
    of magma energy as the cause,
[07:55] Werner Frank
    but naturally, they were ignored.
[07:57] Futoshi (214)
    This is really important!
[08:00] Futoshi (214)
    I feel bad for you, but you're
    not changing my mind!
[08:09] Mitsuru (326)
    What were you talking about?
[08:11] Kokoro (556)
    Oh, you saw that?
[08:13] Mitsuru (326)
    Sorry. I didn't mean to.
[08:18] Kokoro (556)
    Futoshi doesn't want to
    be my partner anymore.
[08:22] Kokoro (556)
    He says he'll team up with Ikuno,
    and he wants me to team up with you.
[08:27] Mitsuru (326)
    But why?
[08:29] Kokoro (556)
    It's too sudden, right?
[08:32] Mitsuru (326)
    They keep telling us about all this
    stuff that happened between us,
[08:37] Mitsuru (326)
    but we don't remember any of it.
[08:40] Mitsuru (326)
    And even if they are telling the truth,
[08:42] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't believe I'll ever
    develop those feelings for you.
[08:49] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah.
[08:51] Kokoro (556)
    It's probably the same for me.
SIGN    2036 A.D.
[08:55] Werner Frank
    At this point, humanity's immortality
    rate already exceeded 70 percent.
[08:59] Werner Frank
    And the rest were scheduled to complete
    their procedures within two years.
[09:04] Werner Frank
    But I...
[09:07] (Flashback) Karina
    You still can't bring yourself
    to undergo the procedure?
[09:10] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    I don't like having my body messed with.
[09:13] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    If I'm forced to, I would much prefer
    to replace it with a mechanical one.
[09:17] (Flashback) Karina
    Don't you think it's about time you stopped
    to think about your life and future?
[09:22] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    Stop it. You know that's not my style.
[09:26] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    What about you? Aren't you
    going to go under the knife?
[09:28] (Flashback) Karina
    No.
[09:30] (Flashback) Karina
    I want to have a child, actually.
[09:32] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    Oh?
[09:34] (Flashback) Karina
    Is that surprising?
[09:35] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    I just didn't think you had a partner.
[09:39] (Flashback) Karina
    He's pretty dense, so he
    hasn't noticed my feelings.
[09:43] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    If you're in love with someone,
    shouldn't you ask him out to dinner instead?
[09:48] (Flashback) Karina
    I did.
[09:50] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    Oh, so you did what you could.
[09:53] (Flashback) Karina
    Don't you think you're being a bit too dense?
[10:04] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    It's me?
[10:11] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    You have terrible taste.
[10:16] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    But I guess I don't really mind.
[10:21] Werner Frank
    By that time, desertification had become
    a serious issue across the globe,
[10:25] Werner Frank
    and APE presented to nations its plantation
    project, which would be humanity's ark.
[10:30] Werner Frank
    It essentially became the
    leader of the whole world.
SIGN    2037 A.D.
SIGN    Offshore Magma Energy Mine
[10:36] Werner Frank
    That year, it appeared in front of mankind.
[10:44] Werner Frank
    Crying like a newborn baby,
[10:48] Werner Frank
    it destroyed the mining facility
    and proceeded to make landfall,
[10:53] Werner Frank
    only stopping after several
    nuclear missiles hit it.
[10:58] Werner Frank
    As a result, the eastern half of the Australian
    continent became an exclusion zone.
[11:04] Werner Frank
    Soon, the beings designated
    klaxosaurs, for "screaming reptiles,"
[11:10] Werner Frank
    started showing up periodically everywhere.
[11:13] Werner Frank
    It became clear that they were
    attracted to magma energy mines, too.
[11:20] Werner Frank
    The plantations turned into mobile
    anti-klaxosaur fortresses,
[11:25] Werner Frank
    cities were abandoned,
[11:27] Werner Frank
    and mankind disappeared from the surface.
[11:33] (Flashback) Karina
    Where are you going?
[11:34] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    It seems they've secured a decently
    preserved klaxosaur corpse in Alaska.
[11:39] (Flashback) Karina
    But we're supposed to submit our
    marriage registration next week.
[11:43] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    If I'm not back by then,
[11:45] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    go ahead and submit it.
[11:51] Werner Frank
    I was enthralled.
[11:54] Werner Frank
    The body's composition could be
    called both mechanical and organic,
[11:57] Werner Frank
    and it struck me as extremely beautiful.
[12:01] Werner Frank
    Eventually, I noticed that it contained the
    same XX chromosomes seen in female humans.
[12:08] Werner Frank
    I didn't know what that indicated,
[12:11] Werner Frank
    but I had a bad feeling about it.
[12:14] Werner Frank
    My research was recognized,
[12:16] Werner Frank
    and I was appointed lead developer
    of an anti-klaxosaur weapon.
[12:20] Werner Frank
    That robot was called a FRANXX.
SIGN    2042 A.D.
SIGN    Startup Trial for the Anti-Klaxosaur FRANXX Prototype
SIGN    Number Thirteen
[12:30] Werner Frank
    After FRANXX development finally
    reached the prototype stage,
[12:34] Werner Frank
    it hit a prolonged roadblock
    where it wouldn't start up.
[12:36] Werner Frank
    After rigorous testing
    under various conditions,
[12:39] Werner Frank
    it was discovered that the pilot needed
    to still possess reproductive functions.
[12:46] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    You didn't have to volunteer
    to pilot yourself.
[12:48] (Flashback) Karina
    You have a valuable test
    subject right under your nose.
[12:51] (Flashback) Karina
    It'd be a waste not to use her.
[12:54] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    Sorry, and thanks.
[12:56] (Flashback) Karina
    Don't look at me like that.
[12:58] (Flashback) Karina
    See you later, then.
[13:17] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    Is this a curse?
[13:23] Werner Frank
    The tests continued,
[13:26] Werner Frank
    and many lives were sacrificed.
[13:29] Werner Frank
    The pilots were put under extreme stress.
[13:32] Werner Frank
    By injecting them with yellow blood cells
    that acted as a conduit to the FRANXX
[13:37] Werner Frank
    and having them ride in male-female pairs,
[13:39] Werner Frank
    that stress was found to be alleviated.
[13:43] Werner Frank
    After losing its reproductive functions,
[13:45] Werner Frank
    mankind ironically found
    a need for new children.
[13:50] Werner Frank
    As parasites, pilots of the FRANXX,
[13:53] Werner Frank
    they were called "children,"
[13:56] Werner Frank
    and they were made to refer
    to the rest of us as adults.
[14:00] Goro (056)
    Those two didn't just have
    their memories erased.
[14:04] Goro (056)
    They were also implanted
    with elaborate, fake memories.
[14:07] Ichigo (015)
    Are their real memories lost forever?
[14:10] Futoshi (214)
    This is messed up.
[14:12] Futoshi (214)
    Was what they did so bad that they
    deserved to have their memories erased?
[14:16] Zorome (666)
    I'm sure Papa has his reasons.
[14:20] Miku (390)
    Zorome, are you serious?
[14:21] Ikuno (196)
    They destroyed everything about the
    wedding we worked so hard for!
[14:25] Zorome (666)
    Yeah, sure, but we've only
    ever had Papa our whole lives.
[14:29] Miku (390)
    This isn't like you! I thought
    you were better than that!
[14:32] Ichigo (015)
    Oh, Hiro. How's Zero Two?
[14:35] Hiro (016)
    She's fine. She just needs
    to get some final tune-ups.
[14:42] Hiro (016)
    I'm thinking of directly asking Papa
    to return Mitsuru and Kokoro to normal.
[14:48] Hiro (016)
    Let's tell him how we feel.
[14:53] Werner Frank
    In the initial usage phase of the FRANXX,
[14:55] Werner Frank
    entire squads would die off,
    taking the klaxosaurs down with them.
[15:00] Werner Frank
    But we pushed on and succeeded in developing
    weapons that worked on klaxosaurs.
[15:04] Werner Frank
    After massive sacrifices, we started
    formulating an effective way to kill them.
[15:10] Werner Frank
    The Garden was founded as a
    facility to nurture the children.
[15:14] Werner Frank
    And the plantations were fitted with a
    quarantine zone for parasites, Mistilteinn.
SIGN    Parasite Quarantine Zone: Mistilteinn
[15:21] Werner Frank
    It was because parasites needed emotions,
[15:24] Werner Frank
    and we'd found that antiquated environments
    were best suited to raising them.
[15:28] Werner Frank
    Their health is monitored in extreme detail,
[15:32] Werner Frank
    and everything is controlled to
    keep them in the best possible shape.
[15:37] Werner Frank
    Eventually, the humans holed up inside
    the plantations, the "adults,"
[15:42] Werner Frank
    forgot about the existence of klaxosaurs,
[15:44] Werner Frank
    and under the influence of magma energy
    and their immortality treatments,
[15:47] Werner Frank
    they obtained a life of eternal tedium.
[15:52] Werner Frank
    I was looking for somewhere I belonged,
    a resting place for my heart.
[15:57] Werner Frank
    By this time, my interest in the
    future of mankind had faded,
[16:01] Werner Frank
    and I engrossed myself in research,
    seeking a more perfected lifeform.
[16:06] Werner Frank
    That's when a strange rumor
    started making the rounds.
[16:09] Werner Frank
    A rumor that said the klaxosaurs
    had a leader, a queen bee of sorts.
[16:14] Werner Frank
    I don't know how, but APE discovered
    where that leader was hiding.
[16:19] (Flashback) Chief
    You may go along, but on one condition.
[16:23] Werner Frank
    One condition?
[16:25] (Flashback) Chief
    Should you encounter the klaxosaur queen,
[16:27] (Flashback) Chief
    bring back something, anything that
    could serve as a DNA sample.
[16:32] Werner Frank
    Shockingly,
[16:34] Werner Frank
    we found waiting for us the remains
    of an unknown, ancient civilization.
[16:42] (Flashback) 001
    What are you doing here?
[16:44] (Flashback) Soldier A
    Who's there?
[16:46] (Flashback) 001
    Ignorant beings, why are you here?
[16:49] (Flashback) 001
    Why do you kill our brethren?
[16:52] (Flashback) Soldier A
    What's this voice? Where is it coming from?
[16:55] (Flashback) Werner Frank
    You're wrong. It's transmitting
    directly into our brains.
[16:58] (Flashback) Soldier B
    Klaxosaurs detected!
[16:59] (Flashback) Soldier A
    What? From which direction?
[17:01] (Flashback) Soldier B
    From all directions!

    All directions?
[17:04] (Flashback) Soldier A
    Prepare for combat! Form a circle!
[17:07] (Flashback) 001
    Your species is so needlessly belligerent.
[17:16] (Flashback) Soldier B
    One enemy, approaching at speed!
[17:30] (Flashback) 001
    Don't kill that one. Bring it to me.
[17:54] Werner Frank
    I was exhilarated.
[17:56] Werner Frank
    She was without a doubt the most beautiful
    thing I'd ever seen in my life.
[18:01] (Flashback) 001
    Hold out your hand.
[18:14] (Flashback) 001
    I smell my brethren on you.
[18:18] (Flashback) 001
    It seems your sins are far too grave
    to be punished with mere death.
[18:40] Werner Frank
    Even as she bit off my arm,
    I remained entranced by klaxosaurs
[18:44] Werner Frank
    and remained in love with
    the klaxosaur princess.
[18:47] Werner Frank
    I might really have already
    lost all of my humanity.

[20:01] Zorome (666)
    Um, can you tell us one thing?
[20:05] Chief
    What is it?
[20:06] Zorome (666)
    Please tell us...
[20:09] Zorome (666)
    How many more klaxosaurs do we have
    to kill before we can become adults?
[20:27] Zorome (666)
    What are we living for, then?
[20:32] Zorome (666)
    Do we really only exist
    to pilot FRANXX and die?
[20:36] Zorome (666)
    At least tell us that much, Papa!
[20:39] Miku (390)
    Zorome...
[20:42] Hiro (016)
    You guys took away Zero Two's
    and my precious memories
[20:46] Hiro (016)
    and did the same to Mitsuru and Kokoro.
[20:48] Hiro (016)
    We can't see you as our Papa anymore.
[20:52] Hiro (016)
    Once this battle is over, set us free!

    Very well.

[22:01] Dr. Franxx
    Fate is cruel more often than not.
[22:04] Dr. Franxx
    But at times, it can be quite
    powerless in the face of desire.
[22:08] Dr. Franxx
    Zero Two, you would probably
    hate me if you knew.

    "Courses the planet's depths"?

[15:44] Dr. Franxx
    I found something while
    studying klaxosaur corpses.
[15:47] Dr. Franxx
    At some point in time,
    their kind split into two forms.
[15:55] Dr. Franxx
    One returned to the earth and became energy.

    Steal? That's an affront!

    And now you wish to steal my child?

[16:30] Nine Alpha
    Don't talk down to Papa!
[16:34] Nine Alpha
    Damn klaxosaur!
[16:36] Hachi
    And what was the other form?
[16:40] Dr. Franxx
    It consumed that energy
    and evolved physically.
[16:46] Dr. Franxx
    It took an absurdly long time,
[16:50] Dr. Franxx
    during which they stopped
    mingling with one another
[16:52] Dr. Franxx
    and eventually lost their intelligence.
[16:55] Hachi
    Just what are klaxosaurs?
[16:57] Dr. Franxx
    Biological weapons built by the klaxo sapiens.
[17:01] Dr. Franxx
    They are comprised of one male
    and one female klaxo sapiens.
[17:06] Dr. Franxx
    The female's soul connected to the weapon,
[17:09] Dr. Franxx
    and the male's soul took root
    in the core, the cockpit.
[17:14] Hachi
    That sounds almost like the FRANXX...
[17:18] Dr. Franxx
    Exactly.
[17:19] Dr. Franxx
    They're merely an application
    of the klaxosaur system.
[17:23] Dr. Franxx
    Klaxosaurs that can be piloted by humans
    genetically modified to be similar.
[17:28] Dr. Franxx
    That is what the FRANXX are.
[17:32] Ichigo (015)
    So we've been piloting klaxosaurs
    to fight klaxosaurs?
[17:38] Goro (056)
    No way.
[17:40] Goro (056)
    The klaxosaurs had pilots just like us?!
[17:44] Zorome (666)
    Could it be...
[17:46] Miku (390)
    The thing we saw back then?
[17:49] Ikuno (196)
    Yeah.
[17:50] Ikuno (196)
    Also, remember the S-Planning?
[17:53] Futoshi (214)
    They were excavating klaxosaurs that'd
    serve as the base of FRANXX units back there?
[18:00] Zorome (666)
    Damn it... Damn it! What the hell is with that?!
[18:04] Zorome (666)
    We've been kept in the dark this whole time?!

    I was hoping it wouldn't come to this,
[18:37] Chief
    but we have no choice.
[18:39] Sage A
    What?
[18:40] Vice Chairman
    We wanted to take it and
    Hringhorni to space as soldiers.
[18:46] Sage C
    Space?
[18:48] Chief
    If we can't have it, then it can
    go down along with this planet.
[18:52] Sage A
    What are you saying?
[18:53] Chief
    And we will return to our original roles.
[18:59] Futoshi (214)

[02:50] Hachi
    And Code 016 prevented that?
[02:53] Dr. Franxx
    All he's done is slow it down.
[02:56] Dr. Franxx
    As things stand, it will reach critical in...
[03:05] Zero Two (002)
    That's how much time
    my darling bought us, huh?
[03:09] Hachi
    Code 002?
[03:14] Miku (390)
    Uh, isn't it too dangerous to stay here?
[03:17] Zorome (666)
    What else are we supposed to do?
[03:20] Ichigo (015)
    Calm down. We should assume we won't
    get any more orders from above.
[03:24] Ichigo (015)
    We'll have to deal with this ourselves.
[03:26] Ikuno (196)
    Weren't they saying something
    strange in the last message?
[03:29] Goro (056)
    Yeah, about using Star Entity
    as a bomb or something.
[03:33] Mitsuru (326)
    They also said the whole planet would explode.
[03:36] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah, that wasn't normal.
[03:39] Zorome (666)
    What does that mean?
[03:40] Zorome (666)
    Wasn't that thing supposed
    to put an end to the war?
[03:47] Ichigo (015)
    We should go and see for ourselves.
[03:48] Ichigo (015)
    If the bomb thing is real, we don't
    have time to stand around.
[03:53] Goro (056)
    Yeah. I'm also worried
    about Hiro and Zero Two.
[03:56] Miku (390)
    Good point... Okay.
[03:59] Ichigo (015)
    We're heading back...
[04:00] Ichigo (015)
    to Gran Crevasse!
[04:08] 001
    It's no use.
[04:10] 001
    VIRM got me.
[04:13] 001
    We've lost.
[04:16] Hiro (016)
    And what is this "VIRM"?
[04:19] Hiro (016)
    Who are those guys that came from
    the sky, the ones you people fought?
[04:24] Hiro (016)
    When I connected with you, I felt it.
[04:27] Hiro (016)
    I felt the passing of an
    unbelievable amount of time.
[04:30] Hiro (016)
    When did it all begin?
[04:40] Zero Two (002)
    She called me a fake.
[04:45] Zero Two (002)
    What was that about?
[04:48] Dr. Franxx
    She is the sole survivor of the klaxo sapiens,
[04:53] Dr. Franxx
    and you are her clone.
[04:58] 001
    It has been more than
    sixty million years now.
[05:04] 001
    We inhabited this planet as a civilization
    far more advanced than yours.
[05:13] 001
    But one day, VIRM arrived.
[05:16] 001
    They were a group mind
    with no physical bodies,
[05:19] 001
    and they wanted us to join them.
[05:23] Hiro (016)
    Join them?
[05:24] 001
    They were telling us to
    cast aside our bodies.
[05:28] 001
    We refused, and war broke out.
[05:33] 001
    During that centuries-long war,
[05:36] 001
    we reforged ourselves into immortal weapons
[05:39] 001
    and evolved into what you
    people call klaxosaurs.
[05:43] 001
    By the time we finally fought off VIRM,
[05:46] 001
    fighting and warfare was all that
    remained of our civilization.
[05:51] 001
    We had even lost our ability to procreate.
[05:56] 001
    But things did not end there.
[06:00] 001
    The enemy we had fought off
    was but VIRM's vanguard.
[06:05] 001
    With no innate form,
[06:07] 001
    they keep expanding, adding the weapons of
    the planets they devour to their arsenal.
[06:11] Hiro (016)
    No...
[06:13] 001
    To prepare for VIRM's inevitable return,
[06:16] 001
    we went underground.
[06:18] 001
    The weak turned themselves into energy,
[06:22] 001
    and the strong combined to evolve
    into even stronger weapons.
[06:31] Dr. Franxx
    That's how the klaxo sapiens built
    Star Entity, a collective mass of klaxosaurs.
[06:38] Dr. Franxx
    Only a klaxo sapiens can operate it.
[06:41] Dr. Franxx
    The klaxosaur princess has probably lived
    millions of years for that very purpose.
[06:48] Dr. Franxx
    Zero Two, you were created to operate
    Star Entity on behalf of the human race.
[06:54] Dr. Franxx
    I created you from her DNA.
[06:58] 001
    Even if victory was impossible,
[07:00] 001
    I wanted to take down as
    many of them as I could.
[07:04] 001
    But this is the end.
[07:07] 001
    It's all over.
[07:10] Hiro (016)
    Is it really the end?
[07:14] Hiro (016)
    Is there really nothing more you can do?!
[07:18] 001
    That's right.
[07:23] Dr. Franxx
    Many specimens were born,
    but failed to survive.
[07:26] Dr. Franxx
    You were the only success.
[07:30] Dr. Franxx
    Eventually, with the idea of using
    them either as backups or stamens,
[07:35] Dr. Franxx
    I created clones using your cells, too.
[07:38] Dr. Franxx
    But they didn't inherit the klaxosaur blood.
[07:44] Zero Two (002)
    My... clones?
[07:49] Dr. Franxx
    The 9's.
[07:59] Ichigo (015)
    You guys...
[08:03] Nine Alpha
    Why are you here?
[08:05] Nine Alpha
    This isn't your post.
[08:08] Nine Beta
    Leaving your post without permission
    can be considered disobeying orders.
[08:11] Nine Gamma
    Return to your assignment
    and follow Papa's orders.
[08:15] Ikuno (196)
    That's meaningless at this point! The bomb—
[08:18] Nine Epsilon
    That isn't your call to make. It's Papa's.
[08:22] Ichigo (015)
    And we can't get in touch with him!
[08:25] Ichigo (015)
    We have to analyze the situation
    and make our own decisions!

    "Our own decisions"? Do you guys
    think you're special or something?

    Okay, I'm going.
[09:55] Hachi
    Going where?
[09:56] Zero Two (002)
    To bring my darling back.
[09:59] Hachi
    Don't push yourself.
[10:00] Zero Two (002)
    My darling's waiting for me.
[10:04] Dr. Franxx
    What can you do there?
[10:06] Dr. Franxx
    Star Entity is probably
    rigged with VIRM traps.
[10:11] Dr. Franxx
    Even if you took it back, you'd only
    end up falling into them.
[10:16] Zero Two (002)
    So what?
[10:18] Zero Two (002)
    The klaxosaur princess? VIRM?
[10:20] Zero Two (002)
    I don't care.
[10:22] Zero Two (002)
    I don't care if I'm a fake
    or a monster or whatever.
[10:26] Zero Two (002)
    My darling and I promised
    to be together forever,
[10:30] Zero Two (002)
    and that we'd go get the
    other if we were torn apart.
[10:35] Hachi
    But we learned that the door to the
    entry point only opens for Code 001.
[10:41] Dr. Franxx
    I'll go with her.
[10:43] Hachi
    Doctor?
[11:03] Zero Two (002)
    Guys...
[11:04] All
    Zero Two!
[11:11] Dr. Franxx
    016's connection has delayed
    their plans, if only briefly.
[11:17] Dr. Franxx
    He is most definitely an
    unknown factor to VIRM.
[11:22] Dr. Franxx
    The klaxosaur princess, 016, and you...
[11:26] Dr. Franxx
    The three of you together
    could create a miracle.
[11:29] Zero Two (002)
    Really?
[11:31] Dr. Franxx
    It's a highly optimistic view
    with no basis whatsoever.
[11:35] Dr. Franxx
    Some might call it blind hope.
[11:37] Zero Two (002)
    Still...
[11:39] Zero Two (002)
    It's much better than
    standing no chance at all.
[11:43] Miku (390)
    Jeez, they don't give up!
[11:47] Zorome (666)
    Now there's another!
[11:50] Goro (056)

[11:52] Mitsuru (326)
    No! We'll have to take a detour!

    Get back, guys.
[12:02] Miku (390)

    fight together here.

    Either way, we'll need manpower
    to hold these guys off.

[13:55] Hiro (016)
    I never doubted for a second that
    my purpose in life was to fight,
[13:59] Hiro (016)
    and I wasn't afraid to die.
[14:02] Hiro (016)
    But you know what I learned?
[14:04] Hiro (016)
    You don't call that living.
[14:06] Hiro (016)
    Meeting Zero Two helped me understand.
[14:09] Hiro (016)
    The time we spend crying, laughing,
    and falling in love is truly valuable,
[14:16] Hiro (016)
    and I realized I wanted to protect it all.
[14:21] Hiro (016)
    But if we march into death,
    we'll lose everything.
[14:24] Hiro (016)
    It'll all be gone.

[00:55] Hiro (016)
    Excuse me.
[02:32] Ikuno (196)
    Can't we increase the portions a little?
[02:35] Ichigo (015)
    No can do. We only have food
    reserves for around one more year.
[02:39] Miku (390)
    But the veggies are growing fine.
[02:42] Zorome (666)
    Yeah, yeah. We'll be able to harvest
    them in a couple of months.
[02:46] Zorome (666)
    Right, Kokoro?
[02:47] Miku (390)
    We're so lucky that Kokoro
    knows so much about plants.
[02:50] Kokoro (556)
    Oh, no. I don't really know
    anything about harvesting.
[02:54] Ichigo (015)
    Right.
[02:55] Ichigo (015)
    So we should maintain the status quo until
    we have a firm estimate for the harvest.
[02:59] Zorome (666)
    Tch.
[03:00] Goro (056)
    Mitsuru, how's the energy system looking?
[03:02] Mitsuru (326)
    We still haven't serviced the unit
    that's been acting up lately.
[03:06] Mitsuru (326)
    Output's gone down.
[03:10] Goro (056)
    Futoshi, how'd the water
    purification system look?
[03:12] Futoshi (214)
    Its efficiency has dropped, too.
[03:16] Goro (056)
    What's wrong?
[03:19] Futoshi (214)
    Should we really keep using magma energy?
[03:23] Futoshi (214)
    It originally belonged
    to the klaxosaurs, right?
[03:26] Zorome (666)
    Well, what else can we do?
[03:28] Zorome (666)
    How else are we gonna live?
[03:30] Miku (390)
    It's used in food preservation and
    for treating wounds too, you know.
[03:34] Futoshi (214)
    I know, but...
[03:37] Kokoro (556)
    Sorry. I need to lie down.
[03:39] Miku (390)
    You okay?
[03:41] Kokoro (556)
    I'm fine.
[03:49] Ichigo (015)
    How do you feel, Hiro?
[03:53] Goro (056)
    About magma energy.
[03:55] Hiro (016)
    O-Oh...
[04:02] Ichigo (015)
    Anyway, we've got to survive any way we can.
[04:05] Ichigo (015)
    Let's figure out what we need for that.
[04:09] Ichigo (015)
    Cheer up.
[04:12] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo?
[04:13] Ichigo (015)
    I guess that's impossible right now, huh?
[04:17] Ichigo (015)
    Given the state Zero Two is in...
[04:22] Ichigo (015)
    I've said this before, but please let
    us know if we can help in any way.
[04:26] Ichigo (015)
    We're all worried about you two.
[04:29] Hiro (016)
    Sorry, Ichigo.
[04:32] Ichigo (015)
    Don't apologize, dummy.
[04:35] Guard
    Um, Code 015. We have a problem.
[04:41] Ichigo (015)
    I heard.
[04:43] Ichigo (015)
    You've been refusing to eat since yesterday?
[04:47] Nine Alpha
    Eating that stuff can only abate
    our condition for so long.
[04:53] Nine Alpha
    What we really need is maintenance.
[04:58] Ichigo (015)
    I'll leave your food here.
[05:08] Nine Alpha
    Damn it!
[05:10] Nana
    I understand where you're coming from,
[05:13] Nana
    but I cannot make any decisions
    without Papa's approval.
[05:17] Goro (056)
    But if this keeps up, we're all
    going to die eventually!
[05:22] Nana
    I suppose so.
[05:33] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks.
[05:37] Ichigo (015)
    If the farm works out and we
    won't have to worry about food,
[05:41] Ichigo (015)
    we can start planning for the future.
[05:46] Goro (056)
    I went and spoke to the new Nana.
[05:49] Goro (056)
    I asked for power and purification
    system repairs, but...
[05:52] Ichigo (015)
    No go?
[05:55] Goro (056)
    Yeah.
[05:57] Goro (056)
    Life in the outside world is hard, huh?
[06:00] Goro (056)
    You run into obstacles everywhere.
[06:03] Goro (056)
    This is like...
[06:04] Ichigo (015)
    "No one can swim in the
    same river water twice."
[06:08] Ichigo (015)
    It's a saying Hiro taught me in the past.
[06:11] Ichigo (015)
    I recall it often these days.
[06:18] Goro (056)
    Hopefully, Hiro and Zero Two
    will get better soon.
[06:22] Ichigo (015)
    Yep.
[06:26] Hiro (016)
    Even more cuts?
[06:30] Hiro (016)
    Why?
[06:38] Ichigo (015)
    Are you okay?
[06:39] Ichigo (015)
    Don't push yourself.
[06:41] Ikuno (196)
    Thanks for the concern, but I'm fine.
[06:44] Ikuno (196)
    My fever's gone down, too.
[06:46] Ichigo (015)
    Okay.
[06:47] Hiro (016)
    Sorry I'm late.
[06:50] Goro (056)
    Dude, you look like a wreck.
[06:53] Futoshi (214)
    Sit this one out, Hiro.
[06:55] Hiro (016)
    It's fine.
[06:57] Goro (056)
    Hiro, you—
[07:00] Zorome (666)
    What's going on? An earthquake?
[07:03] Futoshi (214)
    Look!
[07:10] Hiro (016)
    Is that a klaxosaur?
[07:13] Goro (056)
    No, there's a VIRM soldier, too!
    They killed each other!
[07:18] Miku (390)
    Kokoro?
[07:19] Mitsuru (326)
    Are you all right?
[07:20] Kokoro (556)
    Y-Yes...
[07:22] Zorome (666)
    Are they gonna attack Earth again?
[07:25] Futoshi (214)
    N-No way...
[07:29] Futoshi (214)
    The klaxosaurs are flying off again.
[07:33] Miku (390)
    Kokoro!
[07:34] Miku (390)
    What's wrong, Kokoro?
[07:37] Futoshi (214)
    Kokoro!
[07:38] Ichigo (015)
    Let Nana know!
[07:39] Mitsuru (326)
    K-Kokoro...
[07:39] Miku (390)
    Hurry!
[07:40] Ikuno (196)
    Got it!
[07:41] Mitsuru (326)
    Kokoro!
[07:43] Nana
    The results are in.
[07:45] Nana
    Her urine sample revealed traces
    of human chorionic gonadotropin.
[07:49] Nana
    According to the database,
[07:51] Nana
    this is a hormone secreted during pregnancy.
[08:00] Kokoro (556)
    "Pregnancy"?
[08:01] Ikuno (196)
    What's that?
[08:09] Nana
    It is considered impossible for a
    pregnant woman to pilot the FRANXX.
[08:13] Nana
    Past records indicate abortion,
[08:15] Nana
    or removal of the fetus,
    as one of the treatments used.
[08:21] Nana
    Please let me know when
    you've decided what to do.
[08:24] Kokoro (556)
    W-Wait...
[08:26] Kokoro (556)
    Please wait!
[08:28] Kokoro (556)
    What should I...
[08:30] Kokoro (556)
    What should I do?!
[08:31] Miku (390)
    Calm down, Kokoro!
[08:32] Kokoro (556)
    Tell me! Tell me what to do!
[08:33] Ichigo (015)
    Boys, please give us a moment.
[08:41] Mitsuru (326)
    What am I supposed to do?
[08:44] Mitsuru (326)
    Hiro, what am I supposed to do?
[08:47] Futoshi (214)
    Mitsuru, you...
[08:48] Goro (056)
    Don't.
[08:51] Hiro (016)
    I don't know.
[08:55] Hiro (016)
    What are we supposed to do?
    What's the right thing to do?
[08:58] Hiro (016)
    How am I supposed to know?
[09:06] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two?
[09:08] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[09:09] Hiro (016)
    Where are you, Zero Two?!
[09:13] Hiro (016)
    Wait!
[09:17] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[09:21] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two, have you regained...
[09:36] Goro (056)
    Guys!
[09:37] Goro (056)
    Come with me! Now!
[09:41] Zorome (666)
    Hey, come on. You've gotta be kidding me.
[09:45] Futoshi (214)
    They were growing fine...
[09:48] Ichigo (015)
    We gave them water and fertilizer
    just like the instructions said, too.
[09:57] Goro (056)
    Is that...
[10:05] Ikuno (196)
    Hachi!
[10:08] Miku (390)
    Nana?!
[10:14] (Flashback) Nana
    Hey.
[10:15] (Flashback) Nana
    What is this place?
[10:17] (Flashback) Hachi
    I have no idea, either.
[10:19] (Flashback) Hachi
    I'm just following the doctor's orders.
[10:23] (Flashback) Hachi
    What's this?
[10:26] (Flashback) Hachi
    A database of adults?
[10:28] (Flashback) Hachi
    All of the memories stored in their
    brains have been copied and archived.
[10:34] (Flashback) Nana
    "Cast your bodies aside, and take
    your minds to eternal paradise"?
[10:41] (Flashback) Nana
    Why didn't you just leave me be?
[10:46] (Flashback) Nana
    I don't serve a purpose anymore.
[10:48] (Flashback) Nana
    You should've just abandoned me.
[10:56] (Flashback) Hachi
    What's that?
[11:04] (Flashback) Hachi
    Could it be...
[11:12] (Flashback) Nana
    Naomi?!
[11:14] (Flashback) Nana
    What's the meaning of this?
[11:16] (Flashback) Nana
    Why are the children who were deemed unfit
    and disappeared from Garden here?
[11:22] (Flashback) Hachi
    After the siege of Gran Crevasse,
[11:24] (Flashback) Hachi
    I received an email from the doctor.
[11:27] (Flashback) Hachi
    Apparently, it was programmed to be
    sent automatically after his death.
SIGN    Take Nana to the location below
[11:31] (Flashback) Hachi
    Aside from location data, it also
    contained a message from him.
[11:34] (Flashback) Hachi
    It said to bring you here, and...
SIGN    You two become the children's new adults
[11:38] (Flashback) Hachi
    "You two become the children's new adults."
[11:42] Nana
    How am I supposed to do that?
[11:45] Miku (390)
    Hey, Nana!
[11:47] Miku (390)
    I'm so glad you're back!
[11:50] Miku (390)
    Help...
[11:52] Miku (390)
    Help us!
[11:57] Hachi
    This is just conjecture,
[11:59] Hachi
    but decades of extracting magma energy
[12:03] Hachi
    may have depleted the soil itself of life.
[12:09] Zorome (666)
    What the heck are you saying?
[12:11] Zorome (666)
    Like, that means...
[12:14] Ikuno (196)
    So even the planet itself has rejected us?
[12:22] Ikuno (196)
    Ichigo?!
[12:23] Goro (056)
    Ichigo!
[12:47] Goro (056)
    How's Ichigo?
[12:51] Ikuno (196)
    They say it was overwork.
[12:54] Ikuno (196)
    She's such a fool, worrying about
    everyone but herself.
[12:57] Ikuno (196)
    She's really such a fool.
[13:05] Goro (056)
    Hiro!
[13:06] Hiro (016)
    Goro?
[13:07] Goro (056)
    You heard about the field, right?
    I really want to figure something out!
[13:12] Goro (056)
    If we all work together, we can
    surely make it productive again.
[13:15] Goro (056)
    Don't you agree?
[13:18] Hiro (016)
    Found her...
[13:21] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[13:23] Hiro (016)
    Not again!
[13:24] Goro (056)
    H-Hey!
[13:34] Hiro (016)
    You'll catch a cold.
[13:36] Hiro (016)
    Let's go back inside, Zero Two.
[13:38] Hiro (016)
    Come on.
[13:39] Hiro (016)
    Come with me, Zero Two.
[13:51] Miku (390)
    Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?
[13:54] Hiro (016)
    I want to keep watch over her myself.
[13:57] Miku (390)
    Fine.
[14:03] Hiro (016)
    What was that?
[14:06] Hiro (016)
    Tell me...
[14:26] Hiro (016)
    Huh?
[14:28] Hiro (016)
    Didn't she finish it?
[14:32] Hiro (016)
    "And so, she turned into a bird
[14:36] Hiro (016)
    and took to the skies,
    leaving the prince all alone."
[14:43] Hiro (016)
    You knew?
[14:45] Hiro (016)
    You knew that we'd have
    to part like them someday?
[14:50] Hiro (016)
    So you left the last page to me?
[14:53] Hiro (016)
    Why?
[14:55] Hiro (016)
    That's just cruel!
[15:23] Hiro (016)
    No...
[15:25] Hiro (016)
    Don't tell me...
[15:28] Hiro (016)
    Are you up there?!
[15:31] Goro (056)
    Hachi!
[15:31] Goro (056)
    Zoom in on that part!
[15:37] Goro (056)
    Mistilteinn?
[15:39] Hachi
    I see.
[15:40] Hachi
    I've heard that Mistilteinn contains soil
    from before this planet became a desert.
[15:46] Hachi
    Then if we start making fields
    there and gradually expand them...
[15:49] Hachi
    We'll stand a chance.
[15:52] Goro (056)
    I'll go let everyone know!
[16:02] Hachi
    Code 016.
[16:04] Zorome (666)
    For real?!
[16:05] Goro (056)
    Yeah. He said we stand a chance.
[16:07] Zorome (666)
    Hell yeah!
[16:09] Zorome (666)
    Let's head to Mistilteinn already!
[16:12] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro.
[16:14] Zorome (666)
    You're late, Hiro!
[16:17] Hiro (016)
    I need to talk to you about something.
[16:21] Ichigo (015)
    Huh?
[16:21] Ichigo (015)
    You're going to space?
[16:24] Goro (056)
    To meet Zero Two?
[16:25] Miku (390)
    What are you talking about?
    Zero Two's in her room.
[16:30] Hiro (016)
    Her mind is in Strelitzia.
[16:33] Hiro (016)
    And she's fighting in space even as we speak.
[16:38] Goro (056)
    Hang on. My brain can't keep up.
[16:41] Zorome (666)
    How are you gonna get to space, anyway?
[16:44] Hiro (016)
    There's a way.
[16:45] Hiro (016)
    A way the klaxosaurs left us.
[16:49] (Flashback) Hachi
    I found it while looking for cultivable land.
[16:53] (Flashback) Hachi
    It's a klaxosaur ship,
    but for some strange reason,
[16:57] (Flashback) Hachi
    I could access its internal systems.
[17:01] Hachi
    Decide whether you want
    to fight or accept your ruin.
[17:08] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    I can take this ship to space?
[17:10] (Flashback) Hachi
    Probably.
[17:12] (Flashback) Hachi
    But this course...
[17:17] All
    Mars orbit?!
[17:20] Futoshi (214)
    Isn't that stupidly far away?
[17:22] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[17:23] Miku (390)
    W-Will you be able to come back?
[17:26] Hiro (016)
    I don't know.
[17:27] Zorome (666)
    You'll be up against those monsters, y'know!
[17:29] Hiro (016)
    That's right.
[17:31] Ikuno (196)
    We're saying that you could lose your life.
[17:33] Hiro (016)
    I know.
[17:35] Hiro (016)
    I know it's reckless.
[17:37] Hiro (016)
    But if I don't act now, I'll never
    be able to forgive myself.
[17:43] Hiro (016)
    So I'm going to go.
[17:45] Hiro (016)
    I just wanted to let you guys know.
[17:47] Hiro (016)
    Bye.
[17:48] Zorome (666)
    H-Hey...
[17:54] Goro (056)
    Hold it!
[17:57] Goro (056)
    Why?
[17:59] Goro (056)
    We need to work together
    again and start from scratch.
[18:03] Goro (056)
    Why'd you have to do this now?!
[18:08] Hiro (016)
    I can't leave Zero Two alone.
[18:11] Hiro (016)
    We made a promise.
[18:13] Hiro (016)
    Even if we were torn apart,
[18:15] Hiro (016)
    we'd go to get the other, no matter how far.
[18:18] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two kept up her end of the promise.
[18:21] Hiro (016)
    So I can't just sit here and do nothing.
[18:25] Hiro (016)
    Absolutely not!
[18:28] Hiro (016)
    I feel bad about letting you all down.
[18:31] Hiro (016)
    But I want you to understand.
[18:36] Goro (056)
    What do you mean, you feel bad?
[18:39] Goro (056)
    What do you mean, you want us to understand?
[18:42] Goro (056)
    Have you ever spared a thought for 
    how the people close to you feel?
[18:51] Goro (056)
    You've always been like this.
[18:53] Goro (056)
    You run off, make your own decisions,
    and never stop to think about us.
[18:58] Goro (056)
    Papa and the adults are gone,
[19:00] Goro (056)
    but forget freedom, we've got our
    hands tied on every single thing.
[19:04] Goro (056)
    Have you stopped to think about how
    worried we are about all of this?
[19:08] Goro (056)
    When someone collapses,
    all we can do is watch.
[19:10] Goro (056)
    And yet we're trying our
    damned hardest to live on!
[19:13] Goro (056)
    But here you are, running off to die.
[19:16] Goro (056)
    What are we supposed to
    understand about you?
[19:19] Goro (056)
    There are people doing all they can to
    support you because they want you to live.
[19:23] Goro (056)
    And you're trampling their
    feelings as you leave!
[19:25] Goro (056)
    What the hell do you want us
    to understand about you?!
[19:33] Hiro (016)
    Even so, I have to go.
[19:37] Hiro (016)
    If Zero Two won't smile for me,
    I might as well be dead.
[19:48] Zorome (666)
    Hey, Goro! Knock it off!
[20:03] Miku (390)
    Do you think we'll ever
    find something like that?
[20:07] Miku (390)
    Something that means the world to us,
    that we'd choose over anything else, like him.
[20:15] Ikuno (196)
    That differs from person to person.
[20:20] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks, Goro.
[20:24] Goro (056)
    For what?
[20:27] Goro (056)
    That was never about how everyone felt.
[20:31] Goro (056)
    It was all about me.
[20:32] Goro (056)
    I'm the one scared of the
    world that I chose myself.
[20:36] Goro (056)
    That's me.
[20:39] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah?
[20:46] Ichigo (015)
    Same here.
[20:49] Ichigo (015)
    But...
[20:50] Ichigo (015)
    No one can swim in the
    same river water twice,
[20:55] Ichigo (015)
    so all we can do is find
    our own true path in life.
[21:01] Ichigo (015)
    We'll keep looking for it until we find it.
[21:06] Ichigo (015)
    Our lives have only just begun, you know?
[22:03] Goro (056)
    Hey.
[22:05] Hiro (016)
    Hey.
[22:08] Hiro (016)
    Where are you guys going?
[22:14] Ichigo (015)
    We're taking you to Zero Two.
[22:17] Zorome (666)
    But we're not just doing
    it for you, you hear me?
[22:21] Zorome (666)
    If we don't kick those guys' asses,
    no farm can help us.
[22:25] Futoshi (214)
    And letting them kill us or waiting
    here to die isn't our style.
[22:28] Miku (390)
    Exactly. Our lives have only just begun.
[22:32] Ikuno (196)
    There you have it.
[22:34] Nana
    Take care of things while we're gone.
[22:36] Nana
    Sure.
[22:37] Nine Alpha
    Let us join you.
[22:39] Ichigo (015)
    Nines.
[22:40] Nine Alpha
    Don't get the wrong idea, though.
[22:43] Nine Alpha
    We were created to fight, so we
    just want to fulfill our purpose.
[22:48] Nine Beta
    And outer space doesn't sound
    too bad as a resting place.
[22:53] Ichigo (015)
    We don't plan on dying.
[22:55] Ichigo (015)
    We'll come back, make more fields,
[22:58] Ichigo (015)
    and live on, come what may...
[23:01] Ichigo (015)
    No matter how pathetic it may make us look.
[23:08] Goro (056)
    Hiro...
[23:14] Goro (056)
    You've made your decision.
    I won't fight it anymore.
[23:18] Goro (056)
    Now we're even.
[23:21] Goro (056)
    This is the path we've
    chosen in order to live.
[23:25] Goro (056)
    You don't get to fight it, either.
[23:29] Hiro (016)
    Okay!
[23:32] Goro (056)
    Everything changes,
[23:34] Goro (056)
    all things eventually pass,
    and nothing remains stagnant.
[23:39] Goro (056)
    Yes, like a river.
[23:42] Goro (056)
    But if that nature of our world scares you
    out of appreciating what you have now,
[23:47] Goro (056)
    you'll never grasp any kind
    of future for yourself.
[23:52] Goro (056)
    That's why we reached out.

[00:04] Kokoro (556)
    "This will surely be our last battle."
[00:09] Kokoro (556)
    That's what everyone believed.
[00:12] Kokoro (556)
    But while the rest had those thoughts
    running through their heads,
[00:16] Kokoro (556)
    a different emotion had
    begun lurking inside me,
[00:20] Kokoro (556)
    and I didn't know what to do with it.
[00:23] (Flashback) Mitsuru (326)
    I'm going to stay behind.
[00:26] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru...
[00:29] (Flashback) Hiro (016)
    You've chosen this battlefield, huh?
[00:39] Kokoro (556)
    Why did you stay behind?
[00:41] Kokoro (556)
    You could've found another
    partner and gone with them.
[00:48] Mitsuru (326)
    I stayed because I wanted to.
[00:50] Mitsuru (326)
    It's my responsibility to see this through.
[00:52] Kokoro (556)
    Responsibility?
[00:54] Kokoro (556)
    When you don't remember a thing?
[00:58] Kokoro (556)
    I told you, I don't expect anything from you.
[01:03] Kokoro (556)
    So don't mind me.

[02:55] Miku (390)
    You okay, Zorome?
[02:57] Zorome (666)
    These are some crazy Gs! My guts
    feel like they're crumpling up!
[03:00] Goro (056)
    And this is after the G-Canceler's
    abating a lot of it, apparently.
[03:04] Zorome (666)
    Seriously?
[03:06] Ikuno (196)
    I don't know why, but this
    feels just right somehow.
[03:09] Ikuno (196)
    I can move a lot more freely.
[03:11] Miku (390)
    Yeah. Fighting in space
    should be no problem at all.
[03:14] Futoshi (214)
    And check out these weapons.
[03:15] Futoshi (214)
    After all this time,
    we get identical loadouts?
[03:17] Futoshi (214)
    It's like we're a real team now.
[03:20] Zorome (666)
    We've always been a real team, you dope.
[03:24] Futoshi (214)
    Have we?
[03:27] Goro (056)
    We're really in space, huh?
[03:30] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah. So far from home.
[03:34] Nana
    New space equipment for the FRANXX,
[03:37] Nana
    and all these provisions on the ship.
[03:39] Nana
    What if Hiro was right, and the klaxosaurs
    really did leave all of this for us?
[03:45] Hachi
    That would mean humanity has been allowed
    to join the fight to defend Earth.
[03:50] Nana
    Do we really have the right to?
[03:54] Hachi
    If we want to ensure humanity's survival,
    all we can do is believe.
[04:03] Hiro (016)
    We really connected...
[04:06] Nine Alpha
    Like I said, we Nines can
    be both stamens and pistils.
[04:11] Nine Alpha
    Besides, you put too much
    strain on your partner.
[04:14] Nine Alpha
    No ordinary pistil could handle it.
[04:17] Nana
    You're not exactly in the best shape, either.
[04:19] Nana
    Don't push yourself.
[04:21] Nine Alpha
    Gee, thanks for the timely warning.
[04:23] Nine Alpha
    Anyway, give me a taste of what you can do!
[04:29] Nine Alpha
    You want to go see Iota, don't you?
[04:31] Hiro (016)
    Wait, this feels almost like...
[04:34] Nine Alpha
    Of course it does.
[04:36] Nine Alpha
    We're Iota's clones.
[04:38] Nine Alpha
    It's funny how my final partner is a human.
[04:44] Hachi
    All FRANXX, return to ship.
[04:47] Hachi
    We'll be accelerating to
    cruising speed shortly.
[04:50] Ichigo (015)
    Roger.
[05:05] Kokoro (556)
    What do your eyes see?
[05:09] Kokoro (556)
    Everyone's out fighting in space,
[05:12] Kokoro (556)
    but I've lost the ability to fight with them.
[05:17] Kokoro (556)
    I'm not a parasite anymore.
[05:27] Nana
    You understand this?
[05:28] Hachi
    Somewhat.
[05:30] Nana
    How are the controls so similar?
[05:32] Hachi
    Perhaps klaxo sapiens weren't
    all that different from humans.
[05:38] Hachi
    That said, most of the navigation
    system is automated.
[05:42] Hachi
    We're only tagging along
    for the ride, basically.
[05:45] Nana
    What is this route leading to?
[05:47] Nana
    What are we going to find in Mars orbit?
[05:50] Hachi
    Who knows?
[05:52] Hachi
    But Apus is heading there as we speak.
[05:57] Nana
    Looks like getting there won't be easy.
[06:00] Nana
    For some reason, I don't want those
    kids to hurt themselves any more.
[06:07] Nana
    Isn't that weird?
[06:09] Nana
    I mean, I watched over them
    as tools of warfare for so long.
[06:15] Hachi
    Is feeling that way really so wrong?
[06:19] Hachi
    The children's sole purpose
    in life was to fight.
[06:22] Hachi
    If this truly is their final battle,
[06:24] Hachi
    don't you think they'll need someone
    like you in their lives ahead?
[06:31] Goro (056)
    Yo.
[06:32] Ichigo (015)
    Hey.
[06:33] Hiro (016)
    Goro... Ichigo...
[06:36] Goro (056)
    We've always been attached at the hip,
    and now we're even in space together.
[06:39] Ichigo (015)
    Let's get to Zero Two, no matter what.
[06:43] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[06:46] Ichigo (015)
    C'mon, Goro. Don't you have something to say?
[06:51] Goro (056)
    Uh... Sorry I hit you.
[06:57] Hiro (016)
    What the heck?
[06:58] Hiro (016)
    Forget it.
[06:59] Ichigo (015)
    If you're gonna apologize, you shouldn't
    have done it in the first place.
[07:03] Goro (056)
    Oh, shut it.
[07:08] Hachi
    Detecting what seems to be a VIRM fleet.
[07:10] Hachi
    All FRANXX, prepare for combat!
[07:15] Nana
    It's not slowing down?!
[07:17] Hachi
    Is it going to plow through to where Apus is?
[07:33] Hachi
    The VIRM are trying to surround Apus.
[07:35] Hachi
    The klaxosaurs are forming a
    defensive line around it, too.
[07:40] Goro (056)
    And we're charging right in there?
[07:43] Zorome (666)
    Damn it!
[07:44] Zorome (666)
    Aren't we gonna fight back?
[07:46] Hachi
    All the energy output is
    focused on the shield.
[07:49] Hachi
    The ship's going to ignore the enemy
[07:50] Hachi
    and head straight for Apus!
[07:52] Futoshi (214)
    Over there!
[07:54] Ikuno (196)
    We can see it now.
[07:55] Miku (390)
    Strelitzia Apus!
[08:00] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro?!
[08:06] Hachi
    All units, follow Alpha's lead!
[08:09] All
    Roger!
[08:11] Ichigo (015)
    Here we go, guys!
[08:13] Nana
    There's a huge number
    of VIRM units near Apus.
[08:16] Nana
    Be careful.
[08:22] Zorome (666)
    Why isn't Apus firing that huge laser?
[08:25] Nine Alpha
    If it could, it would've already.
[08:29] Nine Alpha
    Maybe it really isn't fully
    operational without a stamen.
[08:37] Goro (056)
    Incoming!
[08:38] Ichigo (015)
    Scatter and take them out!
[08:50] Goro (056)
    Hiro!
[08:51] Goro (056)
    Ignore the enemy and head to Apus!
[08:54] Goro (056)
    Zorome!
[08:55] Zorome (666)
    Right on!
[08:57] Zorome (666)
    Follow me!
[08:58] Miku (390)
    Leave the enemies in front to us!
[09:00] Zorome (666)
    Eat that!
[09:02] Ichigo (015)
    Chlorophytum!
[09:04] Ikuno (196)
    We've got your backs!
[09:23] Zorome (666)
    What the...
[09:25] Nine Gamma
    Don't forget about us.
[09:27] Nine Beta
    Get back and relax.
[09:29] Zorome (666)
    Hah! Like I'd let you hospital
    runaways do all the work!
[09:35] Ichigo (015)
    Look!
[09:38] Futoshi (214)
    They're trying to keep us away from Apus.
[09:40] Goro (056)
    Did they realize Hiro's with us?
[09:43] Ikuno (196)
    It'll be bad news if they block us off.
[09:46] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro, use your FRANXX's speed to cut through.
[09:49] Ichigo (015)
    We'll cover you.
[09:50] Hiro (016)
    Got it.
[09:59] Hiro (016)
    Zorome! Miku!
[10:00] Hiro (016)
    Don't push it!
[10:01] Zorome (666)
    If we don't push ourselves now...
[10:03] Miku (390)
    ...then when will we?!
[10:09] Both
    Go!
[10:11] Both
    Hiro!
[10:18] Hiro (016)
    We caught up!
[10:21] Nine Alpha
    Look there.
[10:22] Nine Alpha
    It's the entrance.
[10:24] Hiro (016)
    All right!
[10:28] Nine Alpha
    What?
[10:33] Hiro (016)
    Why, you!
[10:41] Hiro (016)
    If that's not gonna work...
[10:50] Nine Alpha
    Well, this is not good.
[10:55] Nine Alpha
    Looks like this is as far as I go with you.
[11:07] Nine Alpha
    Meeting you guys helped me learn
    a little about being human.
[11:12] Nine Alpha
    But my home is the battlefield,
    and nowhere else.
[11:17] Nine Alpha
    Say hi to Iota for me.

    Together, we are one.
[11:48] Hiro (016)
    We'll always be together.
[11:51] Hiro (016)
    Didn't we promise each other that?

[13:20] Hiro (016)
    Why'd you leave?
[13:23] Zero Two (002)
    I want you to remain human.
[13:27] Hiro (016)
    I want to be with you.

    We'll distract them!
[14:10] Nine Beta
    Go!
[14:14] Zorome (666)
    Thanks!
[14:15] Nine Gamma
    Shall we go out in a blaze of glory, then?
[14:18] Nine Beta
    Not a bad idea.

    Let's move to another ship!
[14:38] Hachi
    This is it, huh...

    Leave me and go.

    It's your duty to watch
    over their futures, too!
[15:06] Hachi
    What's that?
[15:08] Nana
    That ship was equipped with a bomb?
[15:11] Chief
    Cease your resistance.
[15:14] Hachi
    That voice...
[15:15] Vice Chairman
    Is there any point at all to this warfare?
[15:20] Chief
    All lifeforms will eventually merge with us.
[15:25] Vice Chairman
    Surrender yourself to the gentle,
    perpetual pleasure we offer.
[15:29] Chief
    Our utopia is free of all hatred
    and discrimination between species.
[15:33] Vice Chairman
    Klaxosaurs? Humanity?
[15:36] Vice Chairman
    Such distinctions won't matter anymore.
[15:38] Vice Chairman
    Equality for all!
[15:40] Chief
    And beyond it all, we will attain
    an endless and peaceful slumber,
[15:46] Chief
    and at the same time,
    endless and relentless evolution.
[15:50] Vice Chairman
    Rejecting that to march toward your
    destruction is far too foolish.
[15:57] Chief
    Now, become one with us.
[16:00] Hachi
    To the adults, that may well
    have sounded like utopia.
[16:05] Nana
    But that isn't where the children belong.
[16:09] Nana
    The flames of their lives will never
    burn as bright in perpetual tranquility!
[16:14] Hachi
    It isn't a matter of right or wrong.
[16:17] Hachi
    This is simply the path that the children,
    and humanity, have chosen!
[16:26] Miku (390)
    This is pretty rough.
[16:28] Zorome (666)
    How much longer is Hiro gonna take?
[16:29] Goro (056)
    Don't worry. He's always pulled through.
[16:33] Ichigo (015)
    And we're not the only ones.
[16:35] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah! Those two must be
    fighting back on Earth, too!

    Leave us be!
[16:49] Kokoro (556)
    She wants to stay right here!
[16:52] Mitsuru (326)
    But it's not good for your body!
[16:54] Kokoro (556)
    I'm going to protect her!
[16:57] Kokoro (556)
    I'm not a parasite anymore.
    I have nothing left.
[17:01] Kokoro (556)
    There's nothing I can do!
[17:03] Kokoro (556)
    So I want to at least be by her side!
[17:06] Kokoro (556)
    So please let me stay.
[17:10] Mitsuru (326)
    Then I'll stay right here with you two!
[17:13] Kokoro (556)
    Leave me alone!
[17:14] Kokoro (556)
    I've told you so many times,
    you don't need to feel responsib—
[17:17] Mitsuru (326)
    It's not about responsibility!
[17:20] Mitsuru (326)
    Please don't say you have nothing.
[17:23] Mitsuru (326)
    If you don't have anything,
    then neither do I!
[17:27] Mitsuru (326)
    But I've found my reason to live.
[17:32] Mitsuru (326)
    I want to protect you and that baby's future.
[17:36] Mitsuru (326)
    I'm a weakling!
[17:38] Mitsuru (326)
    And I don't really understand
    what love is, either.
[17:42] Mitsuru (326)
    But I can keep walking if I'm with you.
[17:47] Mitsuru (326)
    That's what I've come to believe.
[17:52] Kokoro (556)
    Why do you still have that?
[17:56] Kokoro (556)
    Why do you say my name,
    even though it hurts you?
[18:00] Mitsuru (326)
    Even without our memories,
[18:03] Mitsuru (326)
    we can start all over again.
[18:05] Mitsuru (326)
    I'll call your name as many times as you want!
[18:08] Mitsuru (326)
    That is our battle.
[18:15] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru... Mitsuru...
[18:20] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru!
[18:21] Mitsuru (326)

    Mitsuru!
[18:32] Zero Two (002)
    I was always a monster, so whatever.
[18:34] Zero Two (002)
    But you? I want you to live as a human.
[18:37] Zero Two (002)
    That's why I can't be with you.

    We promised we'd always be together.
[18:43] Zero Two (002)
    Stay away.
[18:45] Zero Two (002)
    I'm fine by myself.
[18:47] Hiro (016)
    Liar.
[18:49] Hiro (016)
    If you really are, then why
    is your last page left blank?
[18:55] Hiro (016)
    Don't fly off alone.
[18:57] Hiro (016)
    Let me stay with you.
[19:00] Hiro (016)
    Let's rewrite that story's ending together.
[19:05] Zero Two (002)
    Darling...
[19:14] Kokoro (556)
    Zero Two?
[19:21] Mitsuru (326)
    Wh-What's going on?

    A warp gate.
[21:12] Ikuno (196)
    A warp gate?
[21:14] Zero Two (002)
    Yeah. The klaxo sapiens
    built it a long time ago.
[21:18] Hiro (016)
    Listen up, guys.
[21:20] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two and I are going to go through
    that gate and leave the Solar System.
[21:26] Ikuno (196)
    Leave the Solar System?
[21:28] Futoshi (214)
    What? Now?
[21:31] Goro (056)
    Don't tell me...
[21:32] Zorome (666)
    Whoa, wait up! What are you talking about?
[21:34] Zorome (666)
    You met up with Zero Two,
    so why not head back to Earth?
[21:37] Hiro (016)
    Apus and the gate's system are linked.
[21:40] Hiro (016)
    Neither Zero Two nor I
    can stop the process now.
[21:44] Hiro (016)
    Besides, the gate will close soon.
[21:49] Miku (390)
    You're kidding me.
[21:50] Zorome (666)
    This can't be happening.
[21:52] Ichigo (015)
    But why?
[21:55] Ichigo (015)
    Why do you two have to go?
[21:57] Zero Two (002)
    To put an end to this war.
[22:05] Hachi
    So that's what the bomb was for, huh?
[22:11] Ichigo (015)
    Then let's all go!
[22:13] Hiro (016)
    You can't.
[22:14] Hiro (016)
    Only Apus can withstand
    going through the gate.
[22:17] Futoshi (214)
    But what are you gonna do all by yourselves?
[22:21] Ikuno (196)
    The enemy's main force will be
    much larger than this one, right?
[22:24] Hiro (016)
    Yeah. That's why we have
    to take them by surprise.
[22:28] Goro (056)
    You will come back, right?
[22:33] Miku (390)
    No...
[22:35] Ichigo (015)
    I won't let you go!
[22:36] Ichigo (015)
    If that's your answer,
    I'm not letting you go!

    Come back alive, both of you!
[22:42] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo...
[22:43] Goro (056)
    Exactly! I won't stand for it, either!
[22:46] Goro (056)
    Come back to us, Hiro!
[22:48] Zorome (666)
    I'm not gonna accept a goodbye like this!
[22:50] Miku (390)
    Yeah! Squad 13 isn't complete
    without the two of you!
[22:54] Futoshi (214)
    So come back with Zero Two!

    Right.

    It doesn't matter how long it takes.
    Make sure you come back with Hiro.

    We'll build a home and wait for you!
[23:10] Zero Two (002)
    You're always so bossy.
[23:14] Zero Two (002)
    I promise I'll come back to you.
[23:17] Zero Two (002)
    Together with my darling.
[23:23] Kokoro (556)
    Everyone has their own feelings and desires.
[23:26] Kokoro (556)
    We're all looking for somewhere we belong.
[23:30] Kokoro (556)
    Strelitzia looked so beautiful
    at that moment,
[23:33] Kokoro (556)
    or so everyone who saw
    it would tell us later.
[23:39] Kokoro (556)
    Right now, all we can do is pray
[23:43] Kokoro (556)
    that what awaits those two
[23:45] Kokoro (556)
    is a happy ending.

    Can you tell which stars these are?

    Not at all. We're really far from Earth,
    and the perspective's different.

    Want to make a constellation ourselves, then?

    Why? She shouldn't know that word yet.
[10:47] Kokoro (556)
    Could it be...
[10:50] Mitsuru (326)
    We should let everyone know!
[10:52] Ikuno (196)
    I'd heard it was originally yours,
[10:55] Ikuno (196)
    so I wasn't sure whether to show you.
[10:59] Naomi (703)
    I'm sure I can only stand here
    now because of this mirror.

    I should be grateful.

[11:21] Mitsuru (326)
    We should all link up, too.
[11:36] Ichigo (015)
    And so, we started praying to the skies.
[11:40] Ichigo (015)
    All day, all night. More and more
    people joined us by the day,
[11:44] Ichigo (015)
    and we all screamed our throats hoarse
    at something that may not be there.
[11:51] Zero Two (002)

    of the time I have left.
[12:29] Mitsuru (326)
    Hiro! We gave our child a name!

    Just like you gave us all our names!
[12:37] Kokoro (556)
    It's Ai, for love!
     The word we were never taught!
[12:42] Mitsuru (326)
    I read an old book and learned that
    having a deep bond like you two
[12:46] Mitsuru (326)
    means you love each other.
[12:50] Mitsuru (326)
    And we want our child to inherit that bond!
[12:54] Mitsuru (326)
    That's what we decided!
[12:59] Hiro (016)
    I hear their voices...

    That's right. Humans are strong.

    You've always yelled out that you want to
    be there and live together with everyone.
[13:18] Hiro (016)
    It's not something to be proud of.
[13:20] Hiro (016)
    Mine was just a petty, selfish wish.
[13:22] Hiro (016)
    I thoughtlessly rushed toward everything,
[13:25] Hiro (016)
    and I caused trouble for everyone.
[13:27] Zero Two (002)
    But that's how badly you
    wanted to live, right?
[13:30] Zero Two (002)
    That's why you yelled to me that
    you wanted to be here, right?
[13:35] Zero Two (002)
    You dazzled me.
[13:38] Zero Two (002)
    Your pained expression, and your tears...
[13:40] Zero Two (002)
    They were exactly the
    humanity I always wanted.
[13:44] Zero Two (002)
    And so, we were bound by a kiss.
[13:47] Zero Two (002)
    A kiss is a symbol of saying, "You're mine
    and mine alone. You're special to me."
[13:52] Zero Two (002)
    We met by chance and were attracted
    to each other by nature.
[13:57] Zero Two (002)
    Now, say my name, darling!
[14:00] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[14:05] Zero Two (002)
    It's time for us to become one!
[14:07] Zero Two (002)
    We are the Jian!
[14:23] Zero Two (002)
    I feel your blood coursing through my veins!
[14:27] Zero Two (002)
    You're dyeing every part of me in your colors!
[14:32] Zero Two (002)
    I was blessed and happy to meet you all!
[14:35] Zero Two (002)
    I'm glad I was born into this world!
[14:39] Zero Two (002)
    I love you, darling!
[14:41] Hiro (016)
    Same here, Zero Two!
[14:43] Hiro (016)
    I love you, too!
[14:57] Hiro (016)
    Commence implanting!
[15:01] Zero Two (002)
    What?
[15:08] Hiro (016)
    Not yet!
[15:10] Hiro (016)
    We've gotta rewrite that story
    and continue it together!
[15:40] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[15:42] Hiro (016)
    I'm becoming one with you.
[15:44] Hiro (016)
    You are me...
[15:46] Zero Two (002)
    ...and you are me.
[15:49] Hiro (016)
    We'll probably vanish soon.
[15:53] Hiro (016)
    But the path we've walked won't ever fade,
[15:57] Hiro (016)
    because the others will take it even further.
[16:00] Zero Two (002)
    It doesn't matter how long it takes.
[16:02] Zero Two (002)
    If we have souls,
[16:05] Zero Two (002)
    I swear I'll meet you again on Earth.
[16:10] Hiro (016)
    I love you, Zero Two.
[16:13] Zero Two (002)
    I feel the same.
[16:15] Zero Two (002)
    I love you, too, darling.
[16:25] Chief
    All of you so-called souls...
[16:28] Chief
    Are you going back to
    be caged in your bodies?
[16:33] Chief
    You willingly choose to be
    shackled by pain and sorrow?
[16:39] Chief
    VIRM will not die.
[16:42] Vice Chairman
    I'm sure we will face off once
    again at the apex of evolution...
[16:47] Both
    So long as this universe
    contains a flicker of life.
[16:53] Goro (056)
    It's over, huh?
[16:55] Ikuno (196)
    Did our prayers reach them?
[16:59] Zorome (666)
    I'm sure they did!
[17:02] Kokoro (556)
    Thanks to them, this planet can
    go back and start from square one.
[17:08] Ai
    Mama?
[17:13] Ichigo (015)
    Take as long as you want,
[17:15] Ichigo (015)
    but make sure you both come back here.
[17:19] Ichigo (015)
    We'll keep our home up and running
    so you can return anytime.
[17:31] Zorome (666)
    Hey...
[17:39] Ichigo (015)
    That bright light shone upon
    us for three days straight.
[17:44] Ichigo (015)
    And a few days later, many klaxosaurs
    returned to Earth from the battle,
[17:49] Ichigo (015)
    dove straight into the earth,
    and became a part of it.
[17:56] Ichigo (015)
    Hachi said that maybe they decided
    to let mankind have Earth.
SIGN    Days Since Gate Passage
    3705
[18:03] Ichigo (015)
    And eight years passed.
[18:08] Kokoro (556)
    As we decided to rebuild our lives on Earth,
[18:12] Kokoro (556)
    we made a vow.
[18:14] Zorome (666)
    A vow to stop using what little
    magma energy we had left.
[18:19] Futoshi (214)
    Because it's a symbol of
    the klaxosaurs' bonds,
[18:21] Futoshi (214)
    and something very precious
    to the planet itself.
[18:25] Mitsuru (326)
    But that decision brought our
    lives adversity after adversity.
[18:30] Goro (056)
    Because we had to conjure up a
    self-sufficient lifestyle out of thin air.
[18:36] Ikuno (196)
    Using our meager food
    reserves as a foundation...
[18:39] Miku (390)
    ...we gradually made everything
    we needed to live.
[18:47] Ichigo (015)
    And then, we finished the
    rest of that picture book.
[18:52] Ichigo (015)
    So that those two would forever be as one,
[18:56] Ichigo (015)
    and so that future generations
    would know about them.

    Is there anything we can do for them?

    We don't age, and we're stuck in

[19:20] Hachi
    We have but one duty.
[19:22] Hachi
    To reach out to humanity's future
    and continue to watch over it.
[19:30] Nana
    Jeez, you're always so unyielding.
[19:33] Hachi
    Well, I don't have emotions.
[19:35] Hachi
    But that's why you're here.
[19:38] Hachi
    If you stayed by my side forever,
    would I also be able to change?
[19:46] Kid
    Hey, hey, Hachi!
[19:47] Kid
    Come with us!
[19:50] Hachi
    Sure.
[19:52] Hachi
    I'll be right back.
[19:55] Nana
    Don't worry. You've already changed.
[19:58] Nana
    So have I.

    Congratulations!

    how many pipsqueaks we have now.
[20:13] Kid
    Mr. Zorome!
[20:15] Kid
    Ms. Nana was mad that you
    skipped the teachers' meeting.
[20:18] Kid
    Totally mad!
[20:20] Zorome (666)
    It's fine. I don't have to
    attend those stupid meetings.

    Bad girls need to punished!

    Hey.
[20:35] Zorome (666)
    Ack... Miku.

    Quit slacking off and help us out here.
[20:40] Zorome (666)
    Shaddup! I was just about to start!
[20:42] Miku (390)
    Oh, really? Sure didn't look that way to me.
[20:45] Zorome (666)
    Come off it. I'm just busy with stuff.
[20:48] Miku (390)
    What stuff?
[20:50] Zorome (666)
    You know, stuff.
[20:51] Ichigo (015)
    Those two were arguing again.
[20:53] Ikuno (196)
    Even on a day for everyone to
    meet up? They never change.
[20:58] Ikuno (196)
    Everything looks good.
[21:01] Ikuno (196)
    It's growing fine.
[21:03] Ichigo (015)
    Thanks, Ikuno.
[21:06] Ichigo (015)
    You're going to be a mom, huh?
[21:09] Ichigo (015)
    I wonder what your baby will be like...
[21:11] Futoshi (214)
    I'm here, Ikuno.
[21:14] Ikuno (196)
    Futoshi?
[21:15] Futoshi (214)
    Want to try my new bread recipe?
[21:18] Naomi (703)
    You haven't lost any weight at all.
[21:21] Futoshi (214)
    Quiet, you.
[21:23] Futoshi (214)
    And it was Ikuno's fault
    that I regained my appetite.
[21:27] Futoshi (214)
    It's all thanks to your research
[21:29] Futoshi (214)
    that us ex-parasites' accelerated
    aging is being kept in check.
[21:35] Ikuno (196)
    Your bread's really special, too.
[21:38] Ikuno (196)
    All the kids here grow up eating it.
[21:43] Futoshi (214)
    Kokoro and Mitsuru are having their fourth.
[21:45] Ikuno (196)
    I heard.
[21:46] Ichigo (015)
    You're one to talk.
[21:49] Futoshi (214)
    Oh.
[21:51] Ichigo (015)
    We're good here, so get going.
[21:54] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah.
[21:56] Ikuno (196)
    Where's Goro?
[21:57] Ichigo (015)
    He'll get here soon.
[21:59] Ikuno (196)
    He's still traveling all over the place?
[22:02] Ikuno (196)
    But you know what he said?
[22:05] Ikuno (196)
    He wants to stay put by your side
    for a while, for the baby's sake.
[22:10] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah.
[22:12] Zorome (666)
    We're all grown up now, huh?
[22:15] Miku (390)
    Your mental age disagrees.
[22:17] Goro (056)
    We're nothing like the adults
    we grew up watching, though.
[22:22] Kokoro (556)
    Anything goes, as long as we're
    good role models for our kids.
[22:28] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro, Zero Two...
[22:30] Ichigo (015)
    We're all living strong,
    with our own lives now.
[22:34] Ichigo (015)
    You two were the ones who showed us how to...
[22:39] Futoshi (214)
    ...enjoy every experience.
[22:41] Ikuno (196)
    Fight when you have to.
[22:44] Zorome (666)
    Keep working toward your goal.

    were more human than anybody else.
