[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.
