[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?
