**[00:01] Chief and Vice Chairman**
This is VIRM's will.
**[00:03] Vice Chairman**
Star Entity is a mass of life that
could disturb the universe's peace.
**[00:10] Chief**
As such, if the klaxosaur princess
took over the implanting process,
**[00:14] Chief**
we programmed it to explode.
**[00:17] Nine Alpha**
*Papa?*
**[00:18] Vice Chairman**
The die has been cast.
**[00:20] Chief**
This planet will explode,
leaving nothing behind.
**[00:25] Sage A**
What's going on?
**[00:26] Sage C**
Who are you?
**[00:28] Chief**
We have assimilated several lifeforms
from all over the universe
**[00:31] Chief**
and helped them break free of
the shells of their bodies.
**[00:35] Vice Chairman**
And the time has come for you
humans to embrace your evolution.
**[00:41] Sage C**
Wh-What?
**[00:44] Chief and Vice Chairman**
There exists a form of pleasure
that is gentle and perpetual,
**[00:49] Chief and Vice Chairman**
and you will now experience it.
**[00:58] Hiro (016)**
Damn!
**[01:01] Hiro (016)**
Zero Two!
**[01:16] Hiro (016)**
*It's all or nothing.*
**[01:26] Hiro (016)**
*What is this?*
**[01:27] Hiro (016)**
*Just how long have you been alive?*
**[01:30] Hiro (016)**
* You've been living all by yourself*
* since before humans existed?*
**[01:44] Zero Two (002)**
Darling...
**[01:56] Guard**
Command! Please come in, Command!
**[02:00] Guard**
Papa!
**[02:06] Futoshi (214)**
H-Hey! Who are we supposed to fight here?
**[02:10] Zorome (666)**
The klaxosaurs, obviously!
That's how it's always been!
**[02:13] Ikuno (196)**
But she said the ones that came
from the sky were invaders.
**[02:17] Kokoro (556)**
It doesn't matter who the enemy is.
**[02:20] Kokoro (556)**
All I can do is fight.
**[02:24] Dr. Franxx**
Since the detonation stalled
once Code 016 connected...
**[02:30] Dr. Franxx**
It's a backdoor code?
**[02:32] Hachi**
Backdoor code?
**[02:33] Dr. Franxx**
It's targeting the Stampede Mode.
**[02:35] Dr. Franxx**
They set it up so the mode's overload
would cause an internal explosion.
**[02:42] Dr. Franxx**
They got me.
**[02:45] Dr. Franxx**
They got me good!
**[02:47] Dr. Franxx**
If this thing blows,
the planet will go with it.
**[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!
**[08:28] Nine Delta**
"Our own decisions"? Do you guys
think you're special or something?
**[08:32] Nine Delta**
Papa's words are absolute!
**[08:39] Nine Alpha**
Damn monsters.
**[08:40] Nine Alpha**
Kill every last one of them!
**[08:55] Zorome (666)**
They're nuts.
**[08:58] Goro (056)**
Ichigo! Now's our chance!
**[09:00] Ichigo (015)**
Y-Yeah! Let's hurry!
**[09:05] Mitsuru (326)**
Kokoro!
**[09:08] Mitsuru (326)**
Let's go.
**[09:09] Kokoro (556)**
Y-Yeah.
**[09:12] Nine Delta**
What is *with* those guys?
**[09:15] Nine Epsilon**
*Delta! To your left!*
**[09:17] Nine Delta**
What?!
**[09:20] Nine Alpha**
Delta!
**[09:21] Nine Beta**
Upsilon!
**[09:24] Nine Alpha**
Hang on, you two!
**[09:26] Nine Gamma**
We'll get rid of them right away!
**[09:28] Nine Delta**
No! I don't wanna die!
**[09:31] Nine Delta**
H-Help me!
**[09:40] Nine Alpha**
Screw you...
**[09:43] Nine Alpha**
Screw you!
**[09:53] Zero Two (002)**
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)**
It's caved in!
**[11:52] Mitsuru (326)**
No! We'll have to take a detour!
**[11:54] Ichigo (015)**
There's not enough time!
**[12:01] Ikuno (196)**
Get back, guys.
**[12:02] Miku (390)**
What are you thinking, Ikuno?
**[12:04] Ikuno (196)**
Futoshi! We're going to open up a path!
**[12:07] Futoshi (214)**
Right on!
**[12:08] Ichigo (015)**
Wait, Ikuno! If you do that...
**[12:19] Ichigo (015)**
You okay?
**[12:22] Futoshi (214)**
Ikuno!
**[12:23] Futoshi (214)**
Your hair!
**[12:25] Zorome (666)**
Damn it!
**[12:26] Ikuno (196)**
Go, Ichigo!
**[12:28] Ichigo (015)**
*How could I?*
**[12:32] Kokoro (556)**
I'll stay behind.
**[12:34] Kokoro (556)**
*You all go ahead.*
**[12:35] Miku (390)**
*Hell no!*
**[12:37] Miku (390)**
You're not throwing your life away!
We're staying with you!
**[12:40] Kokoro (556)**
Miku...
**[12:42] Mitsuru (326)**
Kokoro.
**[12:45] Mitsuru (326)**
I agree with them. We should
fight together here.
**[12:50] Zorome (666)**
Either way, we'll need manpower
to hold these guys off.
**[12:53] Miku (390)**
There you have it! Get going already!
**[12:57] Goro (056)**
Ichigo...
**[12:59] Ichigo (015)**
*Got it.*
**[13:00] Ikuno (196)**
Get Hiro for us, Zero Two.
**[13:03] Futoshi (214)**
After we save the world,
let's have a big feast together!
**[13:07] Futoshi (214)**
We'll make a bunch of your
favorite sweet things, too!
**[13:12] Zero Two (002)**
Sure.
**[13:13] Ichigo (015)**
Take care of Chlorophytum!
**[13:15] Ichigo (015)**
And don't you dare die!
**[13:17] Goro (056)**
Let's go!
**[13:21] Zorome (666)**
Welp, leader's orders.
**[13:23] Zorome (666)**
Miku! We're gonna survive, no matter what!
**[13:26] Miku (390)**
Of course!
**[13:29] Mitsuru (326)**
Here they come!
**[13:42] 001**
Why?
**[13:43] 001**
Why do you still struggle?
**[13:46] 001**
This battle was never yours to fight.
**[13:50] Hiro (016)**
I was the same.
**[13:53] Hiro (016)**
I was the same as you people.
**[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.
**[14:26] Hiro (016)**
And I'm not having that!
I will never give up!
**[14:30] Hiro (016)**
I promised her that I'd be with her forever!
**[14:35] Hiro (016)**
I don't live to fight anymore.
**[14:37] Hiro (016)**
I'm going to fight to live.
**[14:54] Hachi**
Is that Hringhorni?
**[14:57] Hachi**
Who's operating it?
**[15:06] Nine Alpha**
Hey, Papa, say something...
**[15:10] Nine Alpha**
What are we to do?
**[15:14] Goro (056)**
Crap! It's going to catch up!
**[15:15] Ichigo (015)**
How much farther, Zero Two?
**[15:18] Zero Two (002)**
I see it!
**[15:28] Zero Two (002)**
Over there!
***SIGN*** Star Entity Entry Point

Go! Get Hiro for us!
**[15:35] Ichigo (015)**
Both of you had better come back together.
**[15:38] Ichigo (015)**
If either of you is missing,
you'll have hell to pay!
**[15:41] Zero Two (002)**
You two...
**[15:44] Goro (056)**
You're not getting past!
**[15:56] Goro (056)**
Damn it all!
**[16:06] Zero Two (002)**
Ichigo! Goro!
**[16:17] Dr. Franxx**
Dig in. It's your master's arm.
**[16:27] Zero Two (002)**
Doctor?!
**[16:29] Zero Two (002)**
Why?
**[16:31] Dr. Franxx**
That contains the princess's cells.
**[16:34] Dr. Franxx**
They didn't turn me into a klaxosaur
like I wanted, but this will do.
**[16:41] Dr. Franxx**
Get going.
**[16:43] Zero Two (002)**
Doctor?
**[16:44] Dr. Franxx**
It's the least I could do to atone.
**[16:47] Dr. Franxx**
I won't ask for forgiveness.
Feel free to hate me.
**[16:50] Dr. Franxx**
I deserve it for what I've done to you.
**[17:15] Zero Two (002)**
Are you telling me to ride you?
**[17:20] Zero Two (002)**
Got it.
**[17:24] Zero Two (002)**
Hey.
**[17:26] Zero Two (002)**
Did you take me to Plantation 13
to reunite me with my darling?
**[17:33] Dr. Franxx**
Who knows?
**[17:35] Dr. Franxx**
It's not like I was expecting you
two to rekindle what you had.
**[17:38] Dr. Franxx**
It was just a scientist's whim, a fancy.
**[17:42] Zero Two (002)**
That's so you.
**[17:46] Zero Two (002)**
Doctor, I should say this before I go.
**[17:51] Zero Two (002)**
Thank you for creating me and
helping me meet my darling.
**[17:59] Dr. Franxx**
When did she become so human?
**[18:30] Zero Two (002)**
Thank you.

Darling!
**[18:59] Zero Two (002)**
I'm here for you! I kept my promise!
**[19:02] Zero Two (002)**
Hey, darling!
**[19:04] Zero Two (002)**
Wake up! Open your eyes!

Hey, hey...

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

I'm talking to you, darling!
**[19:24] Zero Two (002)**
No...
**[19:33] Hachi**
So it didn't work.
**[19:37] Zero Two (002)**
I will never accept this.
**[19:47] Zero Two (002)**
I will never give up.
**[19:53] Zero Two (002)**
Wait for me, darling.
**[20:00] 001**
Is this what living is for you?
**[20:05] 001**
We believed that by abandoning
our ties and embracing solitude,
**[20:09] 001**
we could perfect ourselves,
make ourselves stronger.
**[20:13] 001**
However...
**[20:14] 001**
Perhaps some lives only shine
in unison with another.
**[20:21] 001**
Very well.
**[20:23] 001**
I shall give you every ounce of
strength that remains within me.
**[20:27] 001**
Whether or not you can take over
the controls will be up to you.
**[20:34] 001**
I stake this planet's future on you two.

Darling...
**[20:47] Zero Two (002)**
Darling.
**[20:53] Hiro (016)**
Zero Two?
**[21:02] Zero Two (002)**
I kept my promise.
**[21:06] Hiro (016)**
I believed you would.
**[21:08] Zero Two (002)**
Everyone helped.
**[21:11] Hiro (016)**
Right.
**[21:18] Hiro (016)**
I missed you, Zero Two.
**[21:23] Zero Two (002)**
Same here, darling.
**[21:49] Hachi**
What's this?!
**[21:56] 001**
Humans, we shall take flight once more.

Decide whether you want

**[23:14] Vice Chairman**
We have no choice.
**[23:16] Vice Chairman**
We'll settle for the lance of

**[23:19] Vice Chairman**
We wanted more, but we'll withdraw for now.
**[23:32] Vice Chairman**
But know that we will return.
**[23:35] Vice Chairman**
And when we do, we will bring our full army
**[23:39] Vice Chairman**
and erase this planet from existence.
