[00:03] Ikuno (196)
    Everything comes to an end eventually.
[00:06] Ikuno (196)
    The only difference is whether
    it happens sooner or later.
[00:12] Ikuno (196)
    And even as we sense that the end is nigh,
[00:16] Ikuno (196)
    we spend another day idling
    in this cradle of our lives.
[01:54] Ikuno (196)
    Doesn't that hurt?
[01:56] Zero Two (002)
    Not at all.
[02:00] Zero Two (002)
    Miku, I'm ready.
[02:03] Miku (390)
    Ta-da!
[02:08] Zero Two (002)
    How's it look?
[02:10] Miku (390)
    Perfect. I'm sure Hiro will love it, too.
[02:14] Zorome (666)
    Hey, we've got trouble!
[02:19] Nine Alpha
    Hey.
[02:21] Ichigo (015)
    Why are you guys here?
[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)
    Th-Thank goodness!
[02:41] Zorome (666)
    What the heck? Let us know sooner, then!
[02:45] Zorome (666)
    Thank goodness!
[02:47] Nine Beta
    Anyway, this is horrible.

[02:49] Nine Gamma
    It's no environment for children to live in.
[02:53] Nine Alpha
    Would you mind readying rooms for us?
[02:57] Ichigo (015)
    You want to stay here?
[02:59] Nine Alpha
    I said I'd taken a liking
    to you guys, remember?
[03:04] Ichigo (015)
    Huh? All the surviving squads
    have been gathered in one place?
[03:09] Nine Beta
    Yeah, in a camp of sorts.
[03:12] Nine Beta
    All of the FRANXX are being
    fine-tuned there, too.
[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)
    I'm just so relieved.
[03:36] Miku (390)
    I was so worried that
    we'd be left here to die.
[03:41] Zorome (666)
    You guys are surprisingly nice! Here, eat up!
[03:45] Zorome (666)
    It's thanks for bringing us good news!
[03:47] Zorome (666)
    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.
[03:56] Nine Epsilon
    We aren't her babysitters.
[03:59] Nine Epsilon
    Just her squadmates.
[04:01] Nine Epsilon
    Though she didn't exactly
    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.
[04:45] Nine Alpha
    Well, I wish you luck...
[04:47] Nine Alpha
    Iota.
[04:53] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[04:54] Hiro (016)
    What is that?
[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...
[05:48] Ichigo (015)
    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)
    That.
[06:38] Zero Two (002)
    You drew a page too, right?
[06:41] Hiro (016)
    Uh, n-no, this is...
[06:43] Zero Two (002)
    Let me see.
[06:44] Hiro (016)
    No!
[06:46] Zero Two (002)
    Lemme see!
[06:54] Zero Two (002)
    What the heck?!
[06:57] Hiro (016)
    That's why I didn't want to show you!
[07:01] Zero Two (002)
    This page is approved!
[07:03] Hiro (016)
    Are you serious?
[07:06] Zero Two (002)
    I love this picture.
[07:17] Nine Delta
    You okay?
[07:19] Kokoro (556)
    Y-Yes. Thank you.
[07:23] Kokoro (556)
    What are you doing?
[07:25] Nine Delta
    Exploring the place.
[07:27] Nine Delta
    Don't tell the others, okay?
[07:30] Kokoro (556)
    Understood.
[07:32] Kokoro (556)
    Have a good night.
SIGN    Your First Childbirth
    — What's Best for Your Baby —
[07:41] Nine Alpha
    Reproduction, childbirth,
[07:44] Nine Alpha
    fetus...
[07:46] Nine Alpha
    It's all stuff Papa hasn't taught anyone.
[08:01] Kokoro (556)
    Since the Nines are here now,
[08:04] Kokoro (556)
    someone will surely come
    to get us eventually.
[08:07] Kokoro (556)
    Will that mean the end of this life?
[08:12] Mitsuru (326)
    That is the natural assumption.
[08:17] Mitsuru (326)
    But I'd be a bit sad to leave this place.
[08:23] Mitsuru (326)
    I mean, we only began spending time
    together like this after I came here.
[08:30] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru...
[08:39] Mitsuru (326)
    Kokoro?
[08:40] Kokoro (556)
    Your body is much tougher than a girl's.
[08:43] Kokoro (556)
    It's so strange...
[08:48] Kokoro (556)
    Boys and girls have such different bodies.
[08:52] Kokoro (556)
    There really is a reason for this.
[08:56] Mitsuru (326)
    What are you talking about?
[08:58] Kokoro (556)
    Well... I read that a boy and a girl
[09:02] Kokoro (556)
    can create a new life by
    joining their bodies together.
[09:08] Mitsuru (326)
    U-Uh...
[09:14] Kokoro (556)
    I believe that represents hope for us.
[09:22] Mitsuru (326)
    What are you doing, Kokoro?
[09:25] ---
    I...
[09:26] Zorome (666)
    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

[12:18] Nine Alpha
    Looks like you do.
SIGN    Your First Childbirth

[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.
