[00:02] Papa (APE Head)
    Klaxosaur activity has increased lately,
[00:06] Papa (APE Head)
    and large ones are reportedly showing
    up everywhere, which is unprecedented.
[00:11] Sage B
    The Nines are dealing with them for now,
[00:15] Sage B
    but they still have other tasks to complete.
[00:18] Sage C
    How long will we let Strelizia goof off?
[00:21] Sage C
    Now that the special specimen's
    aptitude has been ascertained,
[00:25] Sage C
    we have no reason to leave
    it there any longer.
[00:27] Sage E
    Indeed. It isn't wise to let her mix
    with tainted stamens any more.
[00:33] Sage A
    If we're recalling her,
    we'll have to ready a new stamen.
[00:38] Vice Chairman
    Not a problem.
[00:39] Vice Chairman
    There are plenty of parasites
    who want to team up with her.
[02:16] Mitsuru (326)
    A demon...
[02:17] Mitsuru (326)
    She's a demon. You'd have to
    be insane to ride with her.
[02:21] Mitsuru (326)
    She'll kill you.
[02:32] Ichigo (015)
    How was he?
[02:33] Futoshi (214)
    He hasn't touched his food at all.
[02:35] Futoshi (214)
    Maybe I should eat it so
    it doesn't go to waste.
[02:38] Zorome (666)
    He's been like that ever since we got back.
[02:47] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru...
[02:48] Hiro (016)
    What happened with Zero Two?
[02:51] Mitsuru (326)
    What... happened?
[02:54] Mitsuru (326)
    That girl tried to devour everything I have.
[02:58] Mitsuru (326)
    My blood, my flesh, and my soul...
[03:01] Mitsuru (326)
    All of it!
[03:02] Mitsuru (326)
    Everything was normal at first,
[03:05] Mitsuru (326)
    but after a point, sh-she was out to kill me.
[03:08] Hiro (016)
    Mitsuru...
[03:09] Mitsuru (326)
    What's worse, she had a smile on her face!
[03:12] Mitsuru (326)
    She was smiling the entire time!
[03:15] Kokoro (556)
    Mitsuru!
[03:16] Futoshi (214)
    Calm down, man!
[03:17] Mitsuru (326)
    Ride with her again, and it'll happen to you.
[03:19] Mitsuru (326)
    You'll end up like me, too.
[03:21] Mitsuru (326)
    You're out of your mind if you
    think you're the sole exception!
[03:26] Futoshi (214)
    Cut it out, Mitsuru!
[03:30] Futoshi (214)
    Look, just lie down.
[03:34] Ichigo (015)
    You okay?
[03:35] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[03:41] Futoshi (214)
    Got it.
[03:43] Futoshi (214)
    There.
[03:44] Zorome (666)
    Whoa.
[03:49] Ichigo (015)
    Do you still want to ride with her?
[03:54] Zorome (666)
    Dude, if you keep eating that
    much, you'll get even fatter.
[03:55] Ichigo (015)
    I just can't bring myself to trust her.
[03:57] Futoshi (214)
    Don't call me fat!
[03:59] Zorome (666)
    Hey, fatty!
[04:00] Ichigo (015)
    Especially after seeing
    what happened to Mitsuru.
[04:02] Futoshi (214)
    Don't call me that!
[04:04] Futoshi (214)
    Wait up!
[04:05] Ichigo (015)
    Assuming the partner-killing rumor is true,
[04:08] Ichigo (015)
    you could die if you ride
    with her two more times.
[04:13] Hiro (016)
    Even so, I still have a chance to be
    of use if I'm riding with Zero Two.
[04:23] Ichigo (015)
    You've made up your mind, huh?
[04:25] Ichigo (015)
    Fine. I won't stop you again, then.
[04:29] Hiro (016)
    Ichigo?
[04:30] Ichigo (015)
    As leader, I have to steel myself, too.
[04:43] Hiro (016)
    Steel yourself, huh?
[04:46] Hachi
    Yes, klaxosaurs must be eliminated.
[04:49] Hachi
    But that doesn't mean you get free rein.
[04:53] Nana
    You didn't need to use that much
    power to deal with those klaxosaurs.
[04:58] Nana
    But because you did, we nearly
    lost one of our squad.
[05:02] Nana
    Are you listening to me?
[05:03] Zero Two (002)
    I wanna leave. I feel like
    I'm gonna suffocate in here.
[05:07] Nana
    Why, you...
[05:08] Zero Two (002)
    As long as I have my darling,
    I don't care about this place.
[05:11] Zero Two (002)
    And the rest are sure to die soon, anyway.
[05:14] Nana
    Zero Two,
[05:15] Nana
    those kids are your fellow FRANXX pilots,
    even if you do belong to different units.
[05:20] Zero Two (002)
    Fellow pilots? Are you serious?
[05:23] Zero Two (002)
    Those weaklings are only a nuisance,
    no matter how many there are.
[05:26] Hachi
    They may be an irregular squad,
[05:29] Hachi
    but they're parasites who were carefully
    chosen for their high aptitude.
[05:32] Zero Two (002)
    Really? Those guys?
[05:35] Hachi
    You only feel that way 
    because you are special.
[05:39] Zero Two (002)
    Are you talking about how I'm not human?
[05:43] Hachi
    I'm talking about your abilities
    and nothing else.
[05:46] Hachi
    Also, it's highly unlikely that 016 will
    be given permission to pilot Strelizia.
[05:49] Zero Two (002)
    What do you mean?
[05:51] Nana
    We received word from HQ earlier.
[05:54] Nana
    You'll be returning to the front lines.
[06:02] Ichigo (015)
    Assuming the partner-killing rumor is true,
[06:04] Ichigo (015)
    you could die if you ride
    with her two more times.
[06:09] Mitsuru (326)
    ...but after a point,
    sh-she was out to kill me.
[06:12] Mitsuru (326)
    What's worse, she had a smile on her face!
[06:14] Mitsuru (326)
    She was smiling the entire time!
[06:16] Hiro (016)
    Damn it!
[06:19] Zorome (666)
    Hiro's training by himself again?
[06:21] Zorome (666)
    If you leave him alone, he runs forever.
[06:24] Futoshi (214)
    He's surprisingly hardworking, isn't he?
[06:27] Futoshi (214)
    That's not how I imagined he'd be.
[06:29] Miku (390)
    Wait, has he still not given
    up on riding with that girl?
[06:33] Goro (056)
    Well, that is presently the
    only way he can stay here.
[06:38] Zorome (666)
    But doesn't that mean he'll
    have to leave if Zero Two does?
[06:43] Goro (056)
    That would be the natural assumption.
[06:48] Kokoro (556)
    Maybe he'd be better off going with her.
[06:53] Kokoro (556)
    It'd be awful if he had
    to remain alone forever.
[06:55] Miku (390)
    Look, I don't know if you forgot or what,
    but she has klaxosaur blood.
[07:01] Miku (390)
    She's not human.
[07:03] Miku (390)
    Just look at what happened to Mitsuru.
[07:04] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro's well aware of that.
    He wants to ride with her anyway.
[07:09] Goro (056)
    Ichigo?
[07:11] Ichigo (015)
    And he isn't the only one
    staring death in the face.
[07:14] Ichigo (015)
    If things don't change, we could find
    ourselves dead at any time, too.
[07:22] Ichigo (015)
    Unless we can defeat klaxosaurs
    without Strelizia,
[07:24] Ichigo (015)
    we won't survive for long.
[07:27] Ichigo (015)
    We can't afford to mess up again.
[07:30] Miku (390)
    You messed up just as bad.
[07:33] Ichigo (015)
    That's right. But it won't happen again.
[07:36] Ichigo (015)
    I need your help to ensure it doesn't.
[07:38] Ichigo (015)
    We're a team, aren't we?
[07:43] Futoshi (214)
    A team, huh?
[07:45] Futoshi (214)
    Yeah, we are.
[07:46] Miku (390)
    Y-You don't have to tell me.
[07:49] Goro (056)
    How very like a leader.
[07:51] Zorome (666)
    Well, it's high time we showed
    Papa and them what we're made of.
[07:55] Kokoro (556)
    Yeah.
[07:56] Futoshi (214)
    And if we keep it up,
    we could make it big, too!
[07:59] Ichigo (015)
    We need you too, Ikuno.
[07:59] Zorome (666)
    Right on!
[08:00] Zorome (666)
    Let's do this!
[08:01] Ichigo (015)
    Mitsuru probably knows he
    can't mess up again, either.
[08:05] Ichigo (015)
    Back him up as his partner.
[08:10] Ikuno (196)
    Okay.
[08:11] Announcer
    To prepare for the kissing
    with Plantation 26,
[08:15] Announcer
    Plantation 13 will switch to mobile setup.
[08:18] ---
    I repeat:
[08:20] ---
    To prepare for the kissing
    with Plantation 26,
[08:24] ---
    Plantation 13 will switch to mobile setup.
[08:48] Hiro (016)
    Why am I hiding from her?
SIGN    Boys Bathing
[08:57] Hiro (016)
    Two more times...
[09:04] Hiro (016)
    I...
[09:05] Zero Two (002)
    There you are.
[09:09] Hiro (016)
    W-Wait, why are you here?
[09:16] Hiro (016)
    G-Give me some space here!
[09:18] Zero Two (002)
    Hey, darling.
[09:20] Zero Two (002)
    Run away with me.
[09:23] Zero Two (002)
    Forget about those weaklings.
[09:25] Zero Two (002)
    As long as you're with me,
    nothing else matters.
[09:28] Zero Two (002)
    You're the only one who can be my partner.
[09:36] Zero Two (002)
    Or are you just like everyone else?
[09:40] Zero Two (002)
    Do you think I'm a monster, too?
[09:45] Hiro (016)
    Klaxosaur?!
[09:46] Soldier A
    We've detected one worm-type klaxosaur.
    It's heading toward Plantation 13.
[09:50] Soldier A
    It likely reacted to the energy
    emitted by the mobile kissing setup.
[09:54] Mitsuru (326)
    Shit...
[09:56] Mitsuru (326)
    I can... I can...
[09:59] Ikuno (196)
    Can you move?
[10:02] Mitsuru (326)
    This... is nothing.
[10:06] Ikuno (196)
    Grab on to me.
[10:07] Mitsuru (326)
    I don't need to.
[10:15] Ikuno (196)
    You're such an awkward boy.
[10:17] Hachi
    We haven't identified the klaxosaur's class.
[10:19] Hachi
    We've only detected one as of now,
    but there may be more in hiding.
[10:24] Hachi
    Be careful.
[10:25] All
    Roger that!
[10:26] Hachi
    All FRANXX, commence connecting!
[10:28] Mitsuru (326)
    I sure hope you can connect this time.
[10:31] Ikuno (196)
    I get it. I'll be fine now.
[10:53] Ichigo (015)
    We'll hold it off here.
[11:01] Hiro (016)
    Is that the only enemy?
[11:03] Nana
    For now, yes.
[11:05] Nana
    Changing into your suits won't help.
    We're not deploying Strelizia.
[11:09] Zero Two (002)
    Hey, I didn't say anything.
[11:33] Ichigo (015)
    Let's go!
[11:33] Ichigo (015)
    One, two...
[11:44] Ikuno (196)
    Did we get it?
[11:45] Goro (056)
    No, I don't think so.
    We probably missed the core.
[11:49] Miku (390)
    We can't kill it unless we find its core.
[11:52] Miku (390)
    Let's get—
[11:54] Ikuno (196)
    There was another one?
[11:55] Kokoro (556)
    We have to save them!
[12:01] Ichigo (015)
    Damn...
[12:03] Ichigo (015)
    Just wait!
[12:05] Ikuno (196)
    From below?
[12:10] Zero Two (002)
    See? We really should
    go too, don't you think?
[12:14] Nana
    Out of the question.
[12:15] Zero Two (002)
    Tch. Spoilsport.
[12:18] Zero Two (002)
    By the way, who just landed
    in that transport plane?
[12:30] APE Soldier
    Code 002. You're coming with us.
[12:32] Nana
    Your escorts are here. Do as they say.
[12:37] Nana
    Zero Two, you will return to the front lines.
[12:40] Nana
    By yourself, obviously.
[12:42] Hiro (016)
    Wait, what do you—
[12:44] APE Soldier A
    Hurry. We want to leave while the FRANXX
    are keeping the klaxosaur occupied.
[12:50] Zero Two (002)
    Don't touch me!
[12:54] APE Soldier B
    Hey!
[12:59] Hiro (016)
    What's all this about, Zero Two?
[13:03] Zero Two (002)
    Darling, looks like time's up.
[13:10] Zero Two (002)
    I felt like things could work out with you, too.
[13:16] Zero Two (002)
    I wanted to be with you.
[13:19] Zero Two (002)
    But this is goodbye.
[13:22] Ichigo (015)
    Ow...
[13:26] Ichigo (015)
    Zero Two?
[13:31] Zero Two (002)
    Bye-bye.
[13:34] APE Soldier
    Come on.
[13:44] Nana
    Hiro...
[13:47] Nana
    This was an order from Papa and the rest.
[13:51] Hiro (016)
    Is it true that Zero Two is a partner killer?
[13:56] Nana
    She's a special pistil who must keep
    fighting on the front lines for them.
[14:04] Nana
    That will also take its toll on the
    stamen who becomes her partner.
[14:10] ---
    Keep this in mind. She's not
    like you normal children.
[14:15] Hiro (016)
    You mean she isn't human?
[14:18] Nana
    Simply put, yes.
[14:22] Hiro (016)
    Is that really how it is?
[14:24] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    You weren't frightened by my horns.
[14:27] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Do you think I'm a monster, too?
[14:30] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    I wanted to be with you.
[14:32] (Flashback) Zero Two (002)
    Bye-bye.
[14:37] Hiro (016)
    No! Zero Two is just like us!
[14:43] Nana
    Stop, Hiro!
[14:49] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[14:52] APE Soldier
    What is it?
[14:54] Zero Two (002)
    Nothing.
[15:01] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two!
[15:09] Hiro (016)
    Wait up, Zero Two!
[15:12] Hiro (016)
    Damn it!
[15:14] Hiro (016)
    Hear me out! I...
[15:16] Hiro (016)
    I was afraid of riding with you.
[15:20] Hiro (016)
    I'm probably still afraid of it.
[15:22] Hiro (016)
    But that's not because you aren't human.
[15:26] Hiro (016)
    It's because I lacked the resolve!
[15:29] Hiro (016)
    When we first met, I couldn't
    take my eyes off you.
[15:33] Hiro (016)
    You were confident, held your head high,
[15:36] Hiro (016)
    and were ready to fight the klaxosaurs even
    when hurt! And I found that beautiful!
[15:41] Hiro (016)
    I'd been moping around,
[15:43] Hiro (016)
    but I felt like I could fly with you.
[15:48] Hiro (016)
    I realized that I never really
    cared about riding the FRANXX.
[15:54] Hiro (016)
    I wanted to ride with you!
[15:56] Hiro (016)
    So please don't go, Zero Two!
[16:03] APE Soldier
    Hey, keep moving.
[16:05] Zero Two (002)
    How can I leave after that?
[16:24] Hiro (016)
    Zero Two...
[16:27] Zero Two (002)
    Nobody's ever said such embarrassing
    things to me before.
[16:30] Hiro (016)
    I-It's a first for me, too.
[16:34] Zero Two (002)
    You wanna ride me, huh?
[16:38] Hiro (016)
    I'll do it.
[16:40] Zero Two (002)
    Let me hear it one more time.
[16:44] Hiro (016)
    Let me...
[16:45] Hiro (016)
    Let me ride in Strelizia again!
[16:51] Zero Two (002)
    Now that's my darling!
[16:56] Zero Two (002)
    Run for it!
[16:58] APE Soldier
    Those two got through the gates!
[17:13] APE Soldier
    Hold it!
[17:21] Nana
    Both of you, get out of there right now!
[17:24] Zero Two (002)
    I'm going out with my darling.
[17:26] Nana
    You are not getting permis—
[17:30] Zero Two (002)
    What's up, darling?
[17:32] Hiro (016)
    Will I be really be able to pilot?
[17:34] Zero Two (002)
    Of course you can do this. We can do this.
[17:40] Zero Two (002)
    Ready?
[17:44] Hiro (016)
    Yeah.
[17:46] Hiro (016)
    It'll be all right.
[17:47] Hiro (016)
    If I'm with Zero Two, I can do this!
[18:03] Zero Two (002)
    Let's fly, darling!
[18:12] Hiro (016)
    I did it...
[18:14] Hiro (016)
    I'm piloting a FRANXX!
[18:17] Zero Two (002)
    That's right. This is what you're capable of.
[18:20] Hiro (016)
    I feel myself going deeper inside you.
[18:24] Hiro (016)
    I can't tell where I end and
    where you begin anymore.
[18:27] Hiro (016)
    But I love it!
[18:29] Zero Two (002)
    I'm feeling it, too.
[18:32] Zero Two (002)
    We're a perfect fit, huh?
[18:34] Zero Two (002)
    But there's more to come.
[18:38] Ichigo (015)
    Shit!
[18:47] Ichigo (015)
    Strelizia?!
[18:52] Goro (056)
    Is that Hiro?
[18:54] Futoshi (214)
    Are you serious?
[18:55] Hiro (016)
    Let me handle this.
[18:57] Ichigo (015)
    No! We can't afford to rely
    on Strelizia this time!
[19:00] Hiro (016)
    Even I'm...
[19:01] Hiro (016)
    I'm part of the team, too.
[19:07] Ichigo (015)
    All right, Hiro.
[19:09] Ichigo (015)
    You deal with that.
[19:11] Ichigo (015)
    We're going to focus on this one.
[19:24] Zero Two (002)
    That didn't feel right.
[19:25] Hiro (016)
    Where's the core?
[19:32] Zero Two (002)
    Oh, no, you don't!
[19:53] Hiro (016)
    What the...
[19:55] Zorome (666)
    No way... It was all part of one klaxosaur?
[19:58] Futoshi (214)
    If it's that long, it won't
    be easy to look for the core!
[20:02] Goro (056)
    But we'll still have to find it!
[20:09] Miku (390)
    God! Somebody stop this thing!
[20:12] Ichigo (015)
    I'll do it.
[20:22] Ichigo (015)
    Come on, guys!
[20:24] Both
    Yeah!
[20:29] Zorome (666)
    Okay, we pinned it down,
[20:31] Zorome (666)
    but now what?!
[20:41] Mitsuru (326)
    Not on my watch!
[20:43] Ichigo (015)
    H-Hiro!
[20:45] Ichigo (015)
    We need you!
[20:48] Hiro (016)
    Think we can do this, Zero Two?
[20:50] Zero Two (002)
    Easy!
[20:57] Ichigo (015)
    Hiro!
[21:34] Hachi
    Target neutralized.
    All units, return to base.
[21:38] Nana
    I can't believe she ignored Papa's orders.
[21:40] Nana
    Was she planning on this all along?
[21:44] Hachi
    But this changes everything.
[21:48] Hachi
    The numbers conclusively prove
    Code 016's compatibility with Strelizia.
[21:53] Hachi
    How will Papa and the others react to this?
[22:05] Hiro (016)
    I'd always dreamed of the day I could
    take flight to the skies above.
[22:10] Hiro (016)
    And for a while, I'd given
    up on it ever coming true.
[22:15] Hiro (016)
    But now, I may have finally found
    a pair of wings to call my own.
[22:19] Hiro (016)
    Even if they're double-edged wings
    that will slowly destroy me,
[22:25] Hiro (016)
    I'll be able to fly one more time.
