[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.
[10:16] Ichigo (015)
    Yeah, I know.
[10:19] Ikuno (196)
    Thank you, Ichigo.
[10:27] Zorome (666)
    All right!
SIGN    Zorome Enters the Fray!
[10:42] Futoshi (214)
    Okay, ready?

[11:54] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[11:57] Hiro (016)
    You okay?
[11:58] Hiro (016)
    What's the matter?
[12:12] Zero Two (002)
    I guess I dozed off for a bit.
[12:19] Hiro (016)
    Wow. It's almost complete.
[12:22] Zero Two (002)
    Yeah.
[12:25] Zero Two (002)
    I'll come show you as soon as it's done.
[12:34] Zero Two (002)
    You were right. They are in full bloom now.
[12:38] Zero Two (002)
    Look, Kokoro lent me this
    to wear for the wedding.
[12:43] Hiro (016)
    It's kinda funny to see
    you wearing our uniform.
[12:46] Zero Two (002)
    Is that all you have to say?
[12:48] Hiro (016)
    You look great.
[12:52] Zero Two (002)
    Do you remember that we promised
    to marry all those years ago, too?
[12:59] Hiro (016)
    Of course I do.
[13:00] Zero Two (002)
    A marriage is when two people who love
    each other promise to be together forever.
[13:05] Zero Two (002)
    You taught me that.
[13:08] Zero Two (002)
    In that moment, you became my darling.
[13:15] Zero Two (002)
    Wow!
[13:19] Zero Two (002)
    This is amazing!
[13:20] Zero Two (002)
    Darling!
[13:33] Hiro (016)
    The time I spend laughing with you
    is filled with so much warmth
SIGN    So much warmth
[13:40] Hiro (016)
    and so, so beautiful.

[13:52] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru...
[14:00] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru? Would you look at me, please?
[14:03] Mitsuru (326)
    I-I can't! Don't ask for the impossible!
[14:13] Mitsuru (326)
    Kokoro?
[14:14] Kokoro (556)
    Let's find happiness together.
[14:18] Mitsuru (326)
    Yes, let's.
[14:20] Ikuno (196)
    Mitsuru! Kokoro!
[14:23] Ikuno (196)
    Now you look the part, too.
[14:26] Ikuno (196)
    Here.
[14:27] Mitsuru (326)
    Thank you.
[14:27] Kokoro (556)
    Thanks, Ikuno.
[14:36] Zorome (666)
    H-Hey, do we ring the bells now?
[14:38] Zorome (666)
    What do you say?
[14:39] Miku (390)
    Go for it!
[14:50] Miku (390)
    Should we say something?
[14:53] Ikuno (196)
    Like what?
[14:54] Miku (390)
    I-I don't know!
[14:57] Zorome (666)
    Look at him, acting all cool.
[14:59] Kokoro (556)
    Kokoro looks really beautiful, though.
[15:03] Goro (056)
    There!
[15:05] Zorome (666)
    Lookin' good!
[15:17] Hachi
    That reading...
[15:18] Hachi
    An APE assault ship?!
[15:21] Nine Alpha
    Hey.
[15:26] Hachi
    What's the meaning of this?
    Who authorized this?
[15:29] Nine Alpha
    Papa did, obviously.
[15:32] Hachi
    Are you going to force them into the
    parasite camp's re-indoctrination program?
[15:36] Hachi
    Squad 13 is supposed to be exempt from it.
[15:39] Nine Alpha
    Not all of them. Just two.
[15:41] Hachi
    What?
[15:42] Nine Alpha
    You know what they were up to, don't you?
[15:46] Nine Alpha
    Just sit there and watch like you always do.
[15:51] Futoshi (214)
    The couple will now exchange rings.
[16:12] Mitsuru (326)
    Sorry!
[16:13] Kokoro (556)
    I'm okay. Keep going.
[16:26] Futoshi (214)
    Now...
[16:27] Futoshi (214)
    Y-You may seal your vows with a kiss!
[16:44] Soldier 1
    All of you freeze!
    Lift one finger, and you will die!
[16:46] Soldier 2
    Down on your knees!
[16:46] Zorome (666)
    Who the hell are you guys?!
[16:48] Miku (390)
    Zorome?!
[16:53] Futoshi (214)
    Run away, you two!
[16:54] Kokoro (556)
    Futoshi!
[16:56] Kokoro (556)
    Guys!
[16:58] Nine Alpha
    There's nowhere for you to run.
[17:00] Nine Alpha
    You are trapped in a birdcage, you know.
[17:03] Mitsuru (326)
    What is the meaning of this?!
[17:05] Nine Alpha
    Papa said you two were dangerous.
[17:10] Nine Alpha
    You need to be re-indoctrinated.
[17:16] Nine Alpha
    Still haven't given up on
    playing human, have we?
[17:19] Nine Alpha
    It's getting embarrassing, really.
[17:21] Zero Two (002)
    You're embarrassing.
[17:24] Nine Alpha
    You think so?
[17:42] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[17:43] Nine Alpha
    You know you mustn't defy Papa's will,
[17:47] Nine Alpha
    don't you, Iota?
[17:50] Nine Alpha
    Take them.
[17:55] Kokoro (556)
    N-No! Mitsuru!
[17:57] Mitsuru (326)
    Get your hands off of Kokoro!
[18:00] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru!
[18:02] Mitsuru (326)
    Kokoro...
[18:04] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru... Mitsuru!
[18:08] Kokoro (556)
    No! Let me go!
[18:10] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru!
[18:26] Hiro (016)
    Are we not allowed even the
    slightest bit of happiness?
[18:31] Hiro (016)
    It's like nothing's changed
    since we were in Garden!
[18:39] Hiro (016)
    Where were Mitsuru and Kokoro taken?
[18:43] Hiro (016)
    Will they ever come back to us?
[18:46] Hiro (016)
    None of us had any answers,
[18:48] Hiro (016)
    and time passed mercilessly by.
[19:17] Hachi
    If I possessed emotions, what could
    I have said to the children?
[19:58] Hachi
    As you are now, maybe you could
    have offered them support.
[20:05] Sage A
    Mind explaining to us what happened in
    the meeting with the klaxosaur princess?
[20:12] Sage C
    I thought its purpose was
    to tell her to surrender.
[20:15] Sage C
    Why weren't we told they'd
    try to assassinate her?
[20:17] Sage E
    We seek a world where APE and
    humanity can live for all eternity.
[20:23] Sage E
    I thought we were working as one to achieve
    that goal, but perhaps I was mistaken.
[20:28] Vice Chairman
    What happened was well within our
    predictions. It won't be a problem.
[20:31] Vice Chairman
    We already possess the replacement key.
[20:35] Chief
    You must look at the big picture.
[20:38] Chief
    When we realize our ideals, you will be
    freed from the shackles of your shells.
[20:47] Chief
    Or as you call them, bodies.

    Where are they being taken?
[21:02] Miku (390)
    I don't like this place.
    It reminds me of Garden.
[21:07] Ichigo (015)
    How long will this go on?
[21:10] Goro (056)
    We were told to stand by until
    our next mission, remember?
[21:13] Zorome (666)
    But it's been weeks, man.
[21:16] Futoshi (214)
    I hope Kokoro and Mitsuru are okay.

    Guys!

    Kokoro!
[21:34] Ichigo (015)
    Thank goodness. We were afraid
    we'd never see you again.
[21:37] Futoshi (214)
    I'm so glad you're both okay!
[21:40] Hiro (016)
    Sorry! It was all my fault
    for suggesting the wedding!
[21:44] Mitsuru (326)
    Wedding?
[21:47] Kokoro (556)
    What's a wedding?
[21:50] Zorome (666)
    Come on! Don't you remember that ceremony?
[21:52] Ikuno (196)
    "Until death do us part," and all that stuff.
[21:55] Goro (056)
    You even exchanged rings.
[21:57] Mitsuru (326)
    Oh, this?
[21:59] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't know when it got here.
[22:01] Mitsuru (326)
    Who is she, anyway?

    A new squadmate?

    Huh? You're the new member, not me.
[22:08] Miku (390)
    What's gotten into you two?
    You're acting really weird!
[22:12] Zero Two (002)
    Their memories have been altered.
[22:15] Zero Two (002)
    Just like ours were back then.
[22:21] Hiro (016)
    The home we built for ourselves
    was too brittle to live in,
[22:27] Hiro (016)
    and everything we ever hold dear is
    always destroyed in the blink of an eye.
[22:35] Kokoro (556)
    Sakura?
[22:38] Hiro (016)
    If that is our destiny,
[22:40] Hiro (016)
    then we can't let it rule us anymore.
[22:44] Hiro (016)
    We're at the end of our rope.
