SIGN    Plantation #26: "Chrysanthemum" SIGN    Plantation #13: "Cerasus" [00:02] Announcer     Plantation 13 will now carry out     the kissing with Plantation 26. [00:08] Hiro (016)     When we first met, Zero Two told me,     "A kiss is a very special thing." [00:09] Announcer     I repeat: [00:12] Announcer     Plantation 13 will now carry out     the kissing with Plantation 26. [00:15] Hiro (016)     Do the adults kiss? [00:18] Hiro (016)     If so, [00:19] Hiro (016)     who was it that likened plantations     making contact to a kiss? [00:26] Zorome (666)     Say, what is "kissing," anyway? [00:29] Miku (390)     You were watching all this time     without knowing a thing? [00:32] Zorome (666)     Shut up, dumbass! Do you know all about it? [00:36] Miku (390)     I-It's when two plantations     are stuck together, right? [00:40] Kokoro (556)     That's not all. [00:41] Ikuno (196)     It's a transfer of magma fuel reserves     from one plantation to another [00:45] Ikuno (196)     through that big pipe. [00:46] Mitsuru (326)     That fuel is essential for both     the adults and us to live. [00:50] Mitsuru (326)     FRANXX can't be operated without it, either. [00:52] Zorome (666)     So we can relax now, right? [00:54] Goro (056)     Not exactly. This is a large-scale     transfer of magma energy. [00:58] Goro (056)     I've heard it'll attract a     huge number of klaxosaurs. [01:01] Zorome (666)     Are you serious? [01:02] Futoshi (214)     A huge number, huh? [01:05] Hiro (016)     Don't worry. [01:08] Hiro (016)     If we work together, we'll be fine.     We even have Strelizia now. [01:12] Goro (056)     Hiro... [01:14] Ichigo (015)     Yeah. [01:15] Ichigo (015)     Hiro's right. [01:20] Hiro (016)     A grand ceremony was conducted     with the utmost solemnity. [01:24] Hiro (016)     The children of Plantation 26's FRANXX     squad were also in attendance, [01:29] Hiro (016)     and they seemed a lot more     calm and composed than us. [01:33] Plantation #26 Head     Boys and girls! [01:34] Plantation #26 Head     The dreadful klaxosaurs are sure to attack     the magma reserves in great numbers. [01:39] Plantation #26 Head     The fate of these two plantations rests     squarely on your shoulders, parasites. [01:43] Plantation #26 Head     You are strong! [01:45] Plantation #26 Head     We believe that you will     surely bring us victory! [01:49] Hiro (016)     Being treated like VIPs gave     our morale a big boost. [01:55] Hiro (016)     But at the same time, [01:56] Hiro (016)     we clearly sensed the coming of a fiercer     battle than we had ever experienced before. [03:42] Goro (056)     Hey, Hiro. Wake up. [03:48] Goro (056)     It's morning. Rise and shine. [03:56] Goro (056)     Are you okay? [03:59] Goro (056)     Your body was burning up like crazy. [04:02] Ichigo (015)     I'm perfectly fine. If anything,     I feel really light on my feet. [04:07] Goro (056)     You're not lying, are you? [04:08] Ichigo (015)     Of course not. [04:09] Ichigo (015)     I actually want to go train right now. [04:14] Goro (056)     Okay, then. [04:15] Kokoro (556)     Yesterday's ceremony was something else, huh? [04:18] Kokoro (556)     I was so excited, I had trouble     getting to sleep last night. [04:21] Miku (390)     Plantation 26's squad leader     seemed like a nice guy. [04:24] Kokoro (556)     Is he the kind of guy     you'd like to ride with? [04:27] Miku (390)     Better him than the boys we're stuck with. [04:29] Miku (390)     Don't you agree? [04:30] Ikuno (196)     No. I don't really care. [04:32] Miku (390)     Wow, what a wet blanket. [04:34] Zorome (666)     It gives you a real lift when the     adults have high hopes for you, huh? [04:37] Futoshi (214)     Yeah. It shows they really need us. [04:40] Zorome (666)     "Boys and girls! You are strong! [04:43] Zorome (666)     We believe that you will     surely bring us victory!" [04:47] Zorome (666)     And I'll be the one who     leads us to that victory! [04:51] Ichigo (015)     You mean Hiro will. [04:56] Kokoro (556)     Oh, yeah. You really shone     in the previous battle. [05:00] Futoshi (214)     But how are you feeling? All good? [05:03] Hiro (016)     Well, yeah. Everything's fine. [05:06] Futoshi (214)     Awesome! [05:07] Miku (390)     Looks like the "three times and you die"     rumor was all nonsense, then. [05:11] Ikuno (196)     That, or he's extremely compatible with her. [05:14] Hiro (016)     Thanks. [05:15] Hiro (016)     But we wouldn't have won without you guys. [05:18] Hiro (016)     I had a hard time keeping up with everything     happening, but it all felt just right. [05:22] Hiro (016)     If I can keep riding, I hope you'll let     me fight with you as part of the team. [05:26] Zorome (666)     Don't get cocky, man. [05:29] Zorome (666)     All you did was get through the one time. [05:31] Goro (056)     Do you really have to be such a spoilsport? [05:33] Hiro (016)     Zorome... [05:34] Zorome (666)     Huh? [05:35] Hiro (016)     I'll do my best not to be a burden. [05:39] Hiro (016)     Let's keep fighting together. [05:40] Zorome (666)     O-Okay... [05:42] Zorome (666)     Jeez, fine. Keep it up, all right? [05:45] Miku (390)     Big words, little man. [05:47] Zorome (666)     Oh, shut up! I just, uh... [05:50] Zorome (666)     You know, as the team's ace pilot, I'm trying to... [05:54] Miku (390)     Okay, okay. [05:56] Futoshi (214)     Breakfast time! [05:57] Futoshi (214)     Breakfast, breakfast... [05:58] Ichigo (015)     Hang on, Hiro. [06:04] Ichigo (015)     Your collar was bent out of shape. [06:07] Ichigo (015)     When will you learn to take     better care of these things? [06:12] Ichigo (015)     By the way, I was amazed you realized     what I was going for in the last battle. [06:16] Hiro (016)     Well, I have known you forever. [06:19] Ichigo (015)     I knew you'd work something out. [06:22] Hiro (016)     I'm glad you trust me so much. [06:24] Ichigo (015)     I was going to yell at you     if you'd messed up, though. [06:29] Hiro (016)     Wow, hardass. [06:30] Ichigo (015)     Anyway, back then... [06:33] Zero Two (002)     Morning, darling! [06:34] Hiro (016)     M-Morning. [06:37] Zero Two (002)     This way. [06:39] Hiro (016)     Uh, wait... [06:41] Zorome (666)     You're a girl! Why're you coming to sit here? [06:43] Futoshi (214)     And that's my seat... [06:45] Zorome (666)     Y-Yeah! Get back to your table! [06:46] Ichigo (015)     Pipe down. [06:48] Ichigo (015)     Take your seats already. It's time to pray. [06:50] Futoshi (214)     But... my seat... [06:53] Kokoro (556)     Want to sit over here, then? [06:55] Futoshi (214)     Can I really? [06:58] Ichigo (015)     May Papa never thirst. [07:00] Ichigo (015)     May Papa's heart be filled     with peace for eternity. [07:04] Ichigo (015)     Let's eat. [07:05] All     Let's eat. [07:07] Zero Two (002)     Here, darling. [07:09] Zero Two (002)     Say, "Ahh." [07:16] Zero Two (002)     Like it? [07:16] Hiro (016)     Y-Yeah, it's good. [07:18] Zero Two (002)     You can eat my share. [07:20] Zorome (666)     Lucky him. I wanna try     something like that, too. [07:23] Goro (056)     Why not ask your partner, then? [07:26] Zorome (666)     What? I'd rather ask a cute girl, like Kokoro. [07:31] Kokoro (556)     We see, we do. [07:32] Miku (390)     What's with you? So easily influenced. [07:37] Zero Two (002)     One more time. Say, "Ahh." [07:44] Hiro (016)     Over here, [07:45] Hiro (016)     we have fixed times for waking up,     bathing, and going to sleep. All of it. [07:50] Hiro (016)     Everything's laid out for us, even the     clothes we wear and the food we eat. [07:56] Hiro (016)     This entire forest was built to fine-tune     the parasites' numbers, apparently. [08:01] Zero Two (002)     Is that why there's a ceiling, too? [08:04] Hiro (016)     Probably. [08:05] Hiro (016)     But even with the ceiling, it does rain here. [08:08] Zero Two (002)     "Rain"? [08:09] Hiro (016)     Yeah. Water comes pouring     down from the ceiling. [08:12] Zero Two (002)     Wow, I wanna see that! Do it for me! [08:16] Hiro (016)     I can't. Papa and the others     decide when it happens. [08:19] Zero Two (002)     I wanna see it right now. [08:21] Zero Two (002)     Do it. [08:23] Hiro (016)     But... [08:31] Hiro (016)     By the way, why'd you suddenly     ask me to show you around? [08:36] Zero Two (002)     Why? Because... [08:38] Zero Two (002)     I'm going to live here, too. [08:43] Zorome (666)     Wh-What's a girl doing here? [08:46] Zorome (666)     Stay out of the boys' wing! [08:47] Hiro (016)     S-Sorry! We'll be right out! [08:50] Hiro (016)     Let's go, Zero Two! [08:57] Zorome (666)     The heck? [08:58] Zorome (666)     Look at them, holding hands and all. [09:01] Nana     Zero Two is going to remain here for a while. [09:05] Nana     Papa gave her permission. [09:07] Ichigo (015)     Does that mean Hiro's an     official parasite now? [09:09] Nana     That's still under consideration,     but I'm assuming it'll happen. [09:14] Nana     Ichigo. [09:15] Nana     Make Zero Two feel at home. [09:18] Goro (056)     What do you think? [09:20] Ichigo (015)     About what? [09:21] Goro (056)     How Hiro was acting today. [09:23] Ichigo (015)     Well, it's been a long time since     I saw him smile so much. [09:26] Goro (056)     Yeah. But what if he was forcing     himself to be all cheery? [09:32] Ichigo (015)     Did he say that? [09:33] Goro (056)     Nah. You know he wouldn't     tell us straight up. [09:37] Goro (056)     Look, you could talk to him— [09:39] Ichigo (015)     Goro. [09:44] Ichigo (015)     Worrying about Hiro is fine, but we've also got ourselves to worry about. [09:49] Goro (056)     What's that supposed to mean? [09:50] Ichigo (015)     The upcoming battle will be fiercer     than any we've experienced. [09:55] Ichigo (015)     You're my partner. If you're not focused,     I can't do my best, either. [10:01] Mitsuru (326)     Why me, and not him? [10:06] Mitsuru (326)     What's the difference between Hiro and me? [10:11] Kokoro (556)     Mitsuru? [10:13] Mitsuru (326)     What is it? [10:14] Kokoro (556)     Oh, uh, I saw you walking in here. [10:19] Kokoro (556)     Are you okay? You've been looking     uncomfortable for a while. [10:22] Mitsuru (326)     I'm fine. [10:25] Kokoro (556)     Is there anything I can do for you? [10:28] Kokoro (556)     You never lean on others— [10:30] Mitsuru (326)     Are you pitying me? [10:33] Kokoro (556)     I didn't mean to... [10:35] Mitsuru (326)     Leave me alone. [10:40] Ichigo (015)     This room is yours to use. [10:42] Zero Two (002)     I'd rather have been with my darling. [10:45] Ichigo (015)     You're going to live here for a while, right? [10:47] Ichigo (015)     Then you'll have to follow our rules. [10:49] Ichigo (015)     Don't expect any special treatment. [10:52] Ichigo (015)     Also, take care of Hiro. [10:55] Zero Two (002)     I don't need you to tell me that. [10:57] Zero Two (002)     My darling belongs to me. [11:02] Ichigo (015)     Hiro doesn't belong to anyone. [11:05] Zero Two (002)     You're pretty bossy, huh? [11:08] Ichigo (015)     Thanks for the compliment. [11:35] Zorome (666)     Hey, Goro! [11:40] Code:090     Your FRANXX all have unique designs. [11:44] Goro (056)     What are you talking about? [11:46] Ikuno (196)     We thought that was standard. [11:48] Code:090     Of course not. Our FRANXX have similar     bodies and equipment all around. [11:52] Code:090     That makes it easier to fight as a team. [11:55] Futoshi (214)     Huh... [11:56] Code:090     I've been told you're a     hastily-assembled test team. [12:00] Code:090     Is this your first taste of kissing? [12:02] Goro (056)     Yeah. [12:03] ---     I see. [12:04] Code:090     We are vastly more experienced. [12:07] Code:090     If there's anything you don't     understand, just ask. [12:09] Zorome (666)     Me! [12:10] Zorome (666)     Me, me, me! I've got a question! [12:13] Zorome (666)     Have any children from your     squad become adults? [12:18] Code:090     "Become adults"? [12:20] Vice Chairman     He probably doesn't know. [12:22] Code:090     Oh, that's what you mean. [12:24] Code:090     Not from our squad, no. [12:26] Zorome (666)     Really? Have you at least     heard any rumors about it? [12:30] Code:090     No, sorry. [12:32] Zorome (666)     What the heck? [12:35] Futoshi (214)     You really care about that, huh, Zorome? [12:37] Zorome (666)     I'm not a simpleton like you, Futoshi! [12:39] Code:090     How peculiar. [12:41] Code:090     I mean, your nicknames. [12:42] Code:090     Code 016 was the one who started     coming up with them, I think? [12:46] Goro (056)     You've heard of Hiro? [12:49] Code:090     Yeah. He's famous among us children. [12:53] Code:090     You guys are really unusual. [12:55] Code:090     Your FRANXX designs are all over the place, [12:57] Code:090     and you refer to each other     by nicknames instead of codes. [13:00] Code:090     What's the point of that? [13:09] Goro (056)     H... [13:09] Goro (056)     Hiro! [13:15] Nana     What is with these abnormal     yellow blood cell counts? [13:19] Nana     I'm amazed he's even alive. [13:21] Hachi     Yeah. It's a polar opposite reaction to the     other parasites that rode with Zero Two. [13:27] Nana     It'd be dangerous to let him ride with her     again when we don't know the cause. [13:30] Hachi     But we need Strelizia in the upcoming battle. [13:36] Nana     The next time is the third. [13:38] Goro (056)     Hey, Hiro! [13:39] Goro (056)     What's wrong? [13:41] Hiro (016)     Nothing... [13:43] Goro (056)     Nothing, my ass! [13:45] Goro (056)     Are you hurt? [13:51] Goro (056)     How long has that been there?     Since you rode with Zero Two? [13:57] Goro (056)     Tch... [14:00] Goro (056)     Hey! [14:07] Goro (056)     Don't pilot Strelizia again. [14:09] Hiro (016)     That's for me to decide. [14:11] Goro (056)     You know the next time     could kill you, don't you?! [14:15] Hiro (016)     Goro... I feel really alive right now. [14:21] Hiro (016)     I haven't felt this way in a long time. [14:24] Hiro (016)     I want to give it my all     in the upcoming mission. [14:28] Hiro (016)     I don't want things to end in failure. [14:30] Hiro (016)     So... [14:31] Goro (056)     You want me to turn a blind eye? [14:33] Hiro (016)     Yeah. [14:34] Goro (056)     Are you going to keep this from everyone? [14:37] Hiro (016)     Yeah. [14:38] Goro (056)     Even Ichigo? [14:39] Hiro (016)     Yeah. [14:42] Goro (056)     Look, you— [14:46] Hiro (016)     Sorry. [14:51] Goro (056)     You... You're... [14:54] Goro (056)     a complete and utter fool! [14:57] Hachi     We detected klaxosaurs an hour ago,     at a distance of approximately 3,000. [15:02] Hachi     They number anywhere from 100 to 150. [15:05] Futoshi (214)     O-One hundred and fifty?! [15:06] Hachi     That number is expected to go even higher. [15:09] Hachi     Their estimated time of arrival     is around 33 hours from now. [15:13] Hachi     No matter how we rush, we can't complete     the kissing process before they get here. [15:17] Hachi     So we're going to place a line of defense     here, with Squad 26 at the vanguard. [15:23] Hachi     Squad 13 will stand by in the rear as backup. [15:26] Zorome (666)     What? Backup? [15:28] Code:090     This will be a chaotic dogfight. [15:31] Code:090     Our squad can link up better     if we go at it by ourselves. [15:33] Zorome (666)     Wha... [15:34] Miku (390)     Did he just call us dead weight? [15:38] Hachi     Defending the main pipe linking the two     plantations together takes top priority. [15:43] Hachi     So I decided to deploy a FRANXX     that's capable of solo combat here. [15:47] Code:090     Do we really have such a FRANXX? [15:51] Hachi     Strelizia will be placed here. [15:56] Code:090     Strelizia? [15:57] Code:090     What are you... [16:00] Nana     Sorry we're late. [16:03] Code:090     Code 002! [16:05] Hachi     Did we receive Papa's permission? [16:06] Nana     Yes, we are a go. [16:08] Nana     Hiro will pilot Strelizia as Zero Two's partner. [16:12] Hachi     This is the best course of action right now. [16:14] Hiro (016)     Got it. [16:15] Code:090     Wait a second. [16:16] Code:090     We can't fight alongside Strelizia. [16:20] Hachi     The plan is final. [16:22] Code:090     But... [16:22] Code:090     That girl doesn't care about her allies! [16:25] Code:090     We can't trust her to have our backs! [16:28] Code:090     Code 002, you know what I mean. [16:32] Zero Two (002)     What are you talking about? [16:33] Code:090     The joint operation two years ago! [16:35] Code:090     Your reckless fighting style got     us isolated on the battlefield, [16:40] Code:090     and I lost my partner! [16:47] Zero Two (002)     Huh... Doesn't ring a bell. [16:50] Zero Two (002)     Weaklings die. Big deal. [16:58] Hiro (016)     I'll keep Zero Two from going out of control. [17:01] Hiro (016)     I'm Strelizia's stamen. [17:05] Zorome (666)     What the hell, man?      Treating us like dead weight... [17:09] Mitsuru (326)     It's the truth. We are a makeshift team. [17:12] Ikuno (196)     But it still pisses you off, doesn't it? [17:15] Goro (056)     I agree with them. [17:19] Goro (056)     Strelizia shouldn't be part of the mission— [17:22] Hiro (016)     I've got this. [17:23] Hiro (016)     Let's show them what we're made of! [17:26] Hiro (016)     You guys don't want to take     their insults lying down, right? [17:28] Zorome (666)     Y-Yeah... [17:30] Zorome (666)     He's right, Goro. Don't go all timid on us now. [17:36] Goro (056)     What do you think, Ichigo? [17:39] Ichigo (015)     We need Strelizia. [18:17] Goro (056)     Where are they going? [18:18] Ichigo (015)     I'm not going to say anything     about your past with Squad 26. [18:22] Ichigo (015)     But I want you to stay in     line during the mission. [18:26] Ichigo (015)     I'm the leader, and you     will follow my orders. [18:29] Zero Two (002)     Ordering me around again? [18:31] Zero Two (002)     You really are bossy. [18:33] Ichigo (015)     W-Wait! [18:34] Ichigo (015)     I'm not done— [18:38] Zero Two (002)     What? [18:40] Ichigo (015)     Please don't push Hiro too hard. [18:43] Zero Two (002)     Darling was the one who said     he wanted to ride with me. [18:46] Ichigo (015)     Yes, I know. [18:48] Ichigo (015)     But try not to put a heavy     burden on him, at least. [18:53] Zero Two (002)     Do you want me to give him to you? [18:55] Zero Two (002)     But you tried to ride with him already,     and it didn't work. [18:58] Ichigo (015)     Leave me out of this! [19:00] Zero Two (002)     Then stay out of it. [19:03] Ichigo (015)     Are you trying to suck Hiro dry? [19:06] Zero Two (002)     My darling belongs to me. [19:08] Ichigo (015)     He could die, you know! [19:10] Zero Two (002)     Sure, he could. But that'd just     mean he didn't amount to much. [19:19] Ichigo (015)     You're heartless! [19:21] Ichigo (015)     You really aren't human! [19:25] Zero Two (002)     Human? [19:28] Zero Two (002)     Human, huh? [19:29] Zero Two (002)     Let me ask you something, then. [19:32] Zero Two (002)     What is "human" to you people? [19:59] Goro (056)     You'll catch a cold. [20:04] Ichigo (015)     Thanks. I just went out     to take care of something. [20:07] Goro (056)     I know. [20:09] Ichigo (015)     Did you see the whole thing? [20:11] Goro (056)     Yeah. [20:15] Ichigo (015)     I don't know what to do. [20:18] Ichigo (015)     I'm supposed to be the leader,     and he and I go way back, [20:22] Ichigo (015)     but I couldn't help Hiro pilot. [20:26] Ichigo (015)     I couldn't stop him. [20:30] Ichigo (015)     But she's there for him now,     and that's what Hiro wants. [20:36] Ichigo (015)     But I... Something's wrong with me! [20:41] Goro (056)     Ichigo? [20:42] Ichigo (015)     I... [20:44] Ichigo (015)     I hate this! [20:46] Ichigo (015)     I can't stand it. My mind's a mess. [20:50] Ichigo (015)     What's going on? [20:52] Ichigo (015)     But... Hiro... [20:55] Goro (056)     Ichi— [20:56] Ichigo (015)     Hiro... [20:58] Goro (056)     What is this feeling? [21:19] Zero Two (002)     Everything smells nice after it rains, huh? [21:23] Zero Two (002)     Make it rain again sometime. [21:25] Zero Two (002)     Oh, right. You can't do it. [21:29] Hiro (016)     I can't say that for sure yet. [21:38] Zero Two (002)     This is where we first met. [21:41] Hiro (016)     It's only because I met you     that I stand here right now. [21:44] Hiro (016)     That I can pilot a FRANXX. [21:46] Zero Two (002)     That's right. Your partner     is me, and me alone. [21:51] Zero Two (002)     You already know, don't you? [21:53] Zero Two (002)     None of my partners could ever ride     with me more than three times. [21:57] Hiro (016)     Yeah. [21:59] Zero Two (002)     It hurts, right? The pain is unbearable, isn't it? [22:01] Zero Two (002)     But it looks beautiful. [22:04] Zero Two (002)     What'll it be? If you want off     this ride, now's your chance. [22:09] Hiro (016)     I'll ride with you. [22:17] Hiro (016)     Even if these wings I reached out     and grabbed are to snap one day, [22:21] Hiro (016)     I'll still take flight into the sky. [22:23] Hiro (016)     Because I feel that's why I'm here right now. SIGN    Episode 5 SIGN    Your Thorn, My Badge
