Klaxosaur Mothership

The ***Klaxosaur Mothership (***叫竜 母船, *Kyoryuu Bosen)*is the largest spacecraft built by the Klaxo Sapiens.

## Characteristics

This spacecraft is a large vehicle that leads, serves, or carries other smaller vehicles, such as FRANXX units, and bombs, specifically a Klaxosaur bomb. It is also used to recover smaller craft, or go its own way after releasing them.

It possesses control manuals and technology similar to those used by humans but Hachi adds he can understand them a little because they are more technically advanced. It is shown to have faster speed than an average spaceship and uses deflector shields in defense mode.

## Overview

The Klaxosaur Mothership was discovered by Hachi and Hiro via satellite footage as Hiro asked to find any spacecraft that would be able to take him to Mars’s orbit, where Strelizia was battling VIRM. Hachi said he should have been able to operate it and, the following day, the parasites of Squad 13 left in the spacecraft. Despite Mars being so far away from Earth that it would have taken a long time to reach it, they were able to reach the planet’s orbit in less than a day due to the mothership’s advanced speed.

Upon reaching the proximity of Mars, the Mothership speeded close enough towards the horde of VIRM and the FRANXX were deployed. It stayed on the sidelines until it was destroyed by the intense fighting, prompting Hachi and Nana to flee in a smaller ship. Within the debris of the mothership, they spotted a Klaxosaur bomb that had been equipment with the ship.
Cosmos

**Cosmos** (コソモス, *Kosomosu*) is a location in *DARLING in the FRANXX*. It serves as APE's mobile aerial fortress and HQ.

## Appearance

It is a dome-shaped facility with three pronged angles. It is surrounded by hologram images and one to two rings that are part of the facility. It is accessible via an elevator.

## Overview

Cosmos is shown to be orbiting over Earth and is capable of mobility. It is heavily equipped with satellites that observe all occurrences that happen on Earth and all images that come from these satellites appear in orange holograms.

Very few are allowed access into Cosmos unless they have elite privileges within APE, such as Dr. FRANXX and the 9's. It serves as the primary residence of the Lamarck Club, who use Cosmos as the APE Central HQ and they almost never leave the facility.

## Trivia

* In the manga, Cosmos was destroyed by the Klaxosaur Princess, causing the demise of the APE leaders. Whereas in the anime, the facility is abandoned after Papa and Vice Chairman reveal themselves as VIRM and absorb the souls of the other APE members.

Chapter 33

This is the thirty-third chapter of DARLING in the FRANXX.

## Synopsis

In the stamen locker room, Goro remembers when Ichigo said protecting her comrades was a leader’s duty before the klaxosaur exploded. He holds a hair clip in his hand and is angry at himself.

In the control room, it is reported that the klaxosaur is still alive because the explosion wasn’t because of self-destruction. However, it is still assumed Delphinium was destroyed because no trace of it has been found. Hachi notices the klaxosaur is moving closer to the plantation and realises they have no choice but to come up with a new plan. Zero Two comes running in and mocks them for giving up so easily. Although Nana tells her that she and the parasites were told to wait, Zero Two asks to use the panel, despite objections from Nana. Hachi is impressed she knows how to use it. Zero Two replies she is a former member of the 9’s after all. She explains the insides and fluid of the klaxosaur are transparent, and if she can stimulate it from the data, she may be able to locate Delphinium. Despite this, it’s not guaranteed to find a signal unless they zoom in and listen for Delphinium’s voice. Hachi asks if Ichigo is still alive. Zero Two says it’s possible if Delphinium’s life support system is working. Although she says she doesn’t care, she doesn’t want to see Hiro get heartbroken and she owes Ichigo.

Meanwhile, Zorome and Miku get into a fight because Miku thinks they could have helped Ichigo if Zorome hadn’t been spaced out for ogling her. Futoshi asks them to calm down but Zorome tells him to shut up and blames Futoshi for not doing anything either, which upsets Futoshi. Mitsuru blames Ikuno that they lost their connection and she tearfully accepts this. Mitsuru backs down as he sees her cry and he suspects that Strelizia is responsible for the situation because Zero Two acted out on her own.

Hiro approaches Goro to apologize and says he wishes he was the victim. Goro doesn’t blame him because it was Ichigo’s choice. Hiro notices the hair clip that looks identical to Ichigo’s and Goro explains its the one he couldn’t give her a long time ago. In a flashback, Ichigo’s bangs grow and cover her eyes and Goro asked for a hair clip as an annual present from Papa. But after receiving it, he found that Hiro already gave her one and it made her happy. Hiro asks why Goro never told him this and Goro replies because only Hiro can make her smile, and he is frustrated that he wants to see her smile for him so much.

Hiro receives a call from Zero Two, who tells him that she found Delphinium inside the klaxosaur. She locates the FRANXX’s signal and makes contact with Ichigo. Zero Two asks if she is disappointed that it’s not Hiro but her who was answering. Ichigo replies she is getting on her nerves.
Chapter 51

This is the fifty-first chapter of the DARLING in the FRANXX (manga).

## Synopsis

Hiro is training in a training pod as he remembers Zero Two’s words about her thinking she would become human if she was with him. Hiro wonders what he is doing and then he stops as he heard the buzzing sound. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad search the woods for Delta. Gorō notes that Delta is not here. Ichigo says she called out to her by the lake but got no response. Miku says this isn’t good and Kokoro wonders where Delta is. Futoshi suggests that Delta got scared because she woke up in a place she doesn’t know. Zorome retorts that doesn't sound like the 9's and sounds more like Futoshi, which causes them to bicker. Alpha is worried about Delta when he sees Zero Two jumping through the trees in a frenzy.

In the control room, Hachi is informed that Delta was spotted in surveillance footage. She managed to use the 9’s S-class ID to enter and was moving through the city in a trance. Dr. FRANXX notices Delta’s eyes and he instantly recognizes them as the eyes of 001, the Klaxosaur Princess. This surprises Hachi as the doctor explains 001 has high intelligence and psychic capability. By applying that, 001 has maintained control of Delta since they originally connected. Hachi is shocked, as he never thought such a thing was possible without using the FRANXX with a piloting system as a medium. The doctor replies it is possible because he’s had a taste of it before.

In a flashback, Dr. FRANXX and a group of scientists and SP officers arrived at the Klaxosaur volcano. However, as they descended into the core, everyone but the doctor was killed by a giant Klaxosaur snake. A voice told the snake not to kill and to bring him to her. The doctor was excited to see a foreign existence capable of affecting the mind and 001 was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Now, he realizes she wanted him to see his sin.

In the hanger, Delta/001 looks at Strelizia and calls it pathetic that Zero Two has been using it to kill her brethren. An agitated Zero Two asks her what is she talking about, and who is she but adds she doesn’t care that Delta/001 can speak into her mind. Delta/001 knows more plantations are closing in on Gran Crevasse and she will use Delta’s body to send stronger signals. As Zero Two feels pain from her head, Delta/001 says Zero Two doesn’t know anything, referring to it as annoying and humans as sinful. She sends a signal to Zero Two that causes Zero Two’s horns to react and her body shakes. Delta/001 says she will guide her to the path Zero Two should take.

## Plot

Hiro asks Zero Two about the FRANXX in front of them and she says it is a Model Nine for the 9’s. She tells Alpha not to get in her way and she commands Strelizia to fight him. Hiro is shocked two FRANXXs are fighting each other and he is confused that Alpha is in the pistil position. Zero Two says the FRANXX has no relation to him and Alpha says the 9’s aren’t bound by a system like the parasites. He further says this isn’t even his full power and she is just trying to imitate being human, calling her Iota - her code name. Zero Two lashes out that she is called Zero Two before Alpha takes advantage of the situation and begins beating Strelizia. Zero Two tells Hiro she needs more power but Hiro says this is a battle between FRANXXs. Hachi asks what is going on before he is told that another big klaxosaur that is not Beta is 3000 points North East of the plantation and is approaching.

Squad 13 is successfully eliminating the klaxosaurs and Code 090 is impressed, saying Squad 26 would be at a disadvantage without them and wonders if they are growing up so fast. A massive stampede-like klaxosaur thrusts out of the ground and attacks on of the FRANXX from Squad 26. Everyone is confused about what it is. Alpha says it was led here by the kissing and says it a klaxosaur not on file because it is from underground, and wonders if the two squads can deal with it. Hiro asks to let them go because everyone is in danger but Alpha says he is following orders and calls Hiro a child for begging. Strelizia begins glowing while Hiro and Zero Two say they have to go before attacking Alpha.
Mistilteinn

***Mistilteinn*** (ミストルティン, Misutorutin) is the quarantine zone of Plantation 13 and is the location that houses the parasites of the plantation.

## Overview

Mistilteinn was created as part of the plantation project by APE to seek refuge from the Klaxosaurs and the desertification of the planet. As Dr. FRANXX’s research of the parasites grew, it was decided that Mistilteinn would be used as a quarantine zone for the parasites in order for them to develop the emotional responses required to pilot the FRANXX.

As proper procedure to keep the parasites in order, Mistilteinn is equipped with surveillance cameras throughout the area. Mistilteinn is full of woods and a few lakes

   , and it contains a few animals, such as birds and cats. The weather is controlled through a sprinkler system located in the floral glass ceiling.
Squad 13 was stationed at Mistilteinn after their discharge from the Garden and they lived there for nearly a year before a Lehmann Klaxosaur attack left the plantation in ruins. Mistilteinn survived the destruction but, as it was expected to collapse soon, the parasites were deported to the Bird Nest.

Squad 13 would briefly return to Mistilteinn shortly after to gather soil to grow crops.

## Locations

### Parasite Boarding House

The boarding house (寄宿舎, Kishukusha) is the residence of the parasites. It is a three-story house and is closely monitored with surveillance cameras in every room. The house is based on a European style and it is hinted that it was built as an inspiration from a mansion in the Abandoned Town, due to the two having strong similarities.

### Administration Building

This building is where Nana and Hachi work to monitor the parasites. It is a big glass building in the middle of a water body and the only way to reach it is by crossing the bridge.
Hiro was given permission to stay in Mistilteinn here. Also, the 9's were looking through the Baby Book in a room in this building. More importantly, this building contains the elevator for accessing lower levels of the plantation, namely the Inner City and Parking Dock.

### Greenhouse

The greenhouse is in close proximity to the boarding house and it where Kokoro takes care of the plants. Mitsuru also uses it as a hiding spot to be alone but the two later use it to spend time together.

## Trivia

* In the manga, Mistilteinn and the rest of Plantation 13 is destroyed by 001, who, with the use of a stolen 9 Model, merged with with Star Entity.

* Mistilteinn means ‘mistletoe’, which is a hemiparasitic plant that draws nutrients from its host. It is an angiosperm (flowering plant with seeds enclosed in an ovary, as compared with a gymnosperm which has seeds not enclosed in an ovary like a pinecone) that produces berries for means of reproduction. In western tradition, mistletoe is hung during the Christmas holiday and couples that pass underneath it together are expected to kiss. Mistletoes are said to represent romance, fertility, and reproduction
	+ It also derives from the name of Hrómundr Gripsson's sword in Hrómundar saga Gripssonar, a legendary saga from Iceland.
Training unit

The ***training unit*** (訓練ユニット, *Kunren yunitto*) is a small humainoid like mech that allows the user to train their skills as a stamen.

## Overview

The training unit is used for a stamen to train his piloting skills. It is available for usage anytime and Hiro was often using it before he officially became a stamen due to him failing to synchronize and pilot a FRANXX with no other pistil except Zero Two
Chapter 13

This is the thirteenth chapter of *DARLING in the FRANXX*.

## Plot

Zero Two drags Hiro around the backyard and asks him to show her around. Zorome wonders if holding hands feels good and Goro suggests he ask Miku. Zorome rejects that and prefers to hold hands with Kokoro. However, he is shocked to see her holding hands with Futoshi, who said Kokoro didn’t think it was a problem and she wants to imitate Hiro and Zero Two. Miku says that they are easily influenced and it’s a pity Zorome can’t hold hands with a pretty girl like Kokoro. Kokoro notices Mitsuru walking alone and she tells Futoshi that’s enough and she has to water the flowers. Mitsuru sits in the greenhouse and remembers when he used to want to be like Hiro. Kokoro comes in with a watering can and asks if he likes flowers but he says he wanted to be alone. Kokoro offers to listen to his problems but he coldly tells her to leave him alone and he has nothing to talk about with her.

Hiro explains the schedule and the environments to Zero Two. He mentions there is no sky but is still rains, which Zero Two has never heard of and asks Hiro to make it rain. He says only Papa decides that but she insists. The intercom announces the kissing with Plantation 26 is about to begin. At HQ, Papa asks what they will do with Strelizia‘s current situation. They got interesting information from the last battle but are not interest in Zero Two pairing with Hiro. More klaxosaurs have been appearing in many places and there have been reports of giant specimens. Papa says the circumstances would be ideal for the 9’s but they have too many other things and the cou can’t keep following Dr. Franxx’s whims. Papa decides to bring in the 9’s.

Kissing is when a large scale of magnetic material is carried through a connection between two plantations. Hiro narrates no one would be alive if it weren’t for the magnetic material because all the structures and FRANXX units are made from energy. He remembers how kissing a special thing and wonders if the adults kiss. Ichigo and Goro look at him with concern. In the bathroom, Hiro feels the pain getting worse but is shocked to find Zero Two in the bath watching him. She gets out and makes him show her the tumor on his chest. Ichigo asks where Hiro is and Goro says he wanted to take a bath and rest early. They suspect something is wrong and are worried about him. They see a mysterious person approaching them. He introduces himself as 9 Alpha, the leader of the special forces under APE and he is looking for a former member named 9 Iota, who is Zero Two.
Chapter 04

This is the fourth chapter of *DARLING in the FRANXX*.

## Plot

Squad 13 is told by Nana that they will take part in a mock battle with Hiro as ordered by HQ to see if he should be promoted as a stamen. Kokoro is happy for him but Miku and Mitsuru don’t think much about it because of Hiro being considered an elite. Ichigo reminds hem they are in the same squad and their code numbers are irrelevant, much to Miku’s annoyance. Hachi asks Hiro to choose a partner and Zero Two volunteers but Ichigo offers because Zero Two is not part of the squad. Mitsuru asks why she is volunteering when she already has Goro as a partner. Goro doesn’t mind and Nana prefers Ichigo. Zero Two relents and tells Ichigo to take care of her darling. Zorome and Miku volunteer to be their opponents.

At the battle arena, Miku is anger to beat Ichigo, who says this ain’t about winning or losing but to awaken Hiro’s abilities. Ichigo says a stamen and pistil need to form a mental connection to synchronize, although the girls feel the stress of the connection. Hiro and Ichigo successfully connect and the battle is about to begin before their connection begins to sever. Ichigo calls for a three minute time out and she asks Hiro what happened. He doesn’t understand and she asks if Zero Two did anything different before. He mentions she kissed him and Ichigo asks what a kiss is. He embarrassingly explains its when two people put their mouths together. Although embarrassed as well, Ichigo decides to do it too if it will awaken Hiro’s abilities and she asks him to close his eyes. He tries to protest but she says she is fine with it. She then kisses Hiro in the lips.
Yellow Blood Cells

*Yellow Blood Cells* *(AG-YBC)* are antigen blood dosages children receive as part of their development into Parasites. They are also referred to as ‘parasite shots’ by the children.

## Origins

Yellow blood cell is another name for bone marrow. Bone marrow is the tissue responsible for producing red blood cells.

Yellow blood cells can generally be extracted from humans affected by radiation. It is not considered to be a type of cancer, it is a type of transmissible cancer - which means these cells from another organism can survive and proliferate within an individual.

## Overview

During the prototype phase of the FRANXX program, Dr. FRANXX discovered that the units required fertile male and female pairs to function. Once this was resolved through his cloning research, he discovered that giving the children frequent dosages of yellow blood cell injections as a conduit for the FRANXX would make the FRANXX operatable and increase the children’s’ capacity and aptitude abilities.

The dosages usually start off with 0.25 milligrams and it increases to 0.75 milligrams as the children get older. However, the doses have significant effects on the children. As preadolescent children, they are emotionally strained to the point of showing no emotions and becoming composed. It is said that is the intention as the objective is to make future parasites obedient and reliant. The dosages can also weaken the children’s bodies, causing them to become vulnerable to fevers and other health risks, possibly affecting their immune systems.

After officially becoming parasites, the children’s dosages are given on occasional checkups rather frequently. By then, the children develop an accelerated ageing process, which, coupled with the stress of piloting a FRANXX, makes them age at a faster rate. The Elixir Injection is a powerful drug of heavy concentrated yellow blood cells and is designed to increase one’s aptitude results but is known for having an incredibly low success rate.

When Squad 13 visits the Garden later on in the show, they realise that much younger children are receiving higher doses of Yellow Blood Cells in response to the klaxosaurs' increased activity.

## Trivia

* The children are considered to be ‘contaminated’ but the adults never give an explanation why.
	+ In Episode 10, when Zorome gets lost in the city and stays with the Old Woman, a security team scans him and the indicator reads an unknown number of CFU (Colony Forming Units), which is a unit used to estimate the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample.
* Zero Two bragged about how she inherited her skills from human and klaxosaur genomes. However, she requires high maintenance (heavy dosage of yellow blood cells) to function.
Vanquish

**Vanquish** is a song in *DARLING in the FRANXX*.

## Lyrics

Mother used to say

"You are so special.

No one will shine as bright, my dear".

Will I tire of slaying endless beasts that hunt them?

Will the killing rid me of these horns that disgust them?

Little demon in the forest all alone

You were there

Now I remember!

Yes! You were there!

Come with me now

So ride on, my DARLING!

Here comes the sun

It won't shine on us forever

You touched my heart

So ride on, my DARLING!

We can win the fight and

Vanquish my fear

## Trivia

* This song describes Zero Two's feelings and thoughts for the first half of the show. It foreshadows what happens in Episode 13, and was played all the way back in Episode 01. However, many people did not pick up on this as it was sung in an ethereal choral style.
Chapter 46

This is the forty-sixth chapter of the DARLING in the FRANXX manga.

## Synopsis

Squad 13 sorties again, this time with the new Genista and Chlorophytum pairs. While they wait for their target to approach, Zorome asks what the structure they are protecting is doing. Miku replies it's S-Planning and Ichigo adds that it's an excavator. Hiro states it's probably digging something out.

Zero Two says she smells a klaxosaur. Squad 13 turn their attention to the Gutenberg class, to which Goro wonders whether it is the parent of the Conrad class klaxosaurs they had killed recently. Zero Two immediately jumps off and starts attacking the klaxosaur, but as the klaxosaur skin is too thick, so they have problems reaching the core. As they say this, the parts of the klaxosaur that Strelizia tore off turned into Conrad class klaxosaurs. Hachi realises the Gutenberg class is just a collective of Conrad class klaxosaurs.

Argentea runs in to launch an attack, but Chlorophytum closes in quicker. Futoshi tells Ikuno to do their best as Chlorophytum goes into a shooting frenzy and manages do deal quite a bit of damage to the klaxosaurs. Zorome remarks the new Chlorophytum pair is really good and Goro adds that it's Futoshi's first time in Chlorophytum. Ichigo looks solemn and thinks about Ikuno, to which Ikuno mentally replies that she's alright.

In a flashback, Ikuno tells Ichigo she only loves her. She tells Ichigo she noticed her hairclip changed a while ago, to Ichigo's shock. Ikuno asks if she lost it and if the new one is from Goro to Ichigo's amazement. Ikuno says she feels sick. She explains that only guys can stand next to Ichigo and she feels jealous. She expresses her wish to be a guy. Crying, Ikuno admits she's selfish and bothersome because she wants Ichigo to herself. She wonders out loud why she's like this and says she hates it. Ichigo thinks back to her kiss with Hiro and realised it was the same. She hugs Ikuno and says being bothersome is good. Ichigo admits everyone is bothersome but lately, she started to think it's alright. Ikuno admits she can't give up that easily as she hugs Ichigo, to which Ichigo tells her she knows.

Futoshi thanks Ikuno for agreeing to his suggestion. Ikuno asks him if that was for Mitsuru and Kokoro's sake, to which Futoshi tearfully says yes. Ikuno says Futoshi is a good guy.

From the side, Kokoro says she knows Futoshi's strength just by looking and adds that up until now, Futoshi had been holding back to protect her. Kokoro asks for them to go too, to which Mitsuru agrees.

Back in Mistilteinn, Alpha is says the partner shuffle was a last resort so Mitsuru could continue piloting a FRANXX and admits he didn't think changing partners were possible. Alpha wonders why he cares about Squad 13. He thinks back to his fallen squadmates and says it's irrelevant to him because they had lost everything. Delta suddenly opens her eyes.
Chapter 49

This is the forty-ninth chapter of the DARLING in the FRANXX (manga).

## Synopsis

As he synchronizes with Kokoro, Mitsuru says if it's with her, he can live in this world. Kokoro then asks Mitsuru to walk together with her as their minds connect. Genista prepares to fight as more Conrad class Klaxosaurs approach her. Chlorophytum is surprised to see Genista in light armor mode and Futoshi warns Mitsuru that although Genista's speed went up in light armor mode, the defense decreases. Mitsuru replies he knows. Four Klaxosaurs attack Genista but it instantaneously passes by them all and aims for a shot. Mitsuru declares to Futoshi that he will protect Kokoro.

In the control room, Hachi notes that Mitsuru’s yellow blood count has stabilized and Nana wonders if such a thing is possible. At Mistilteinn, Alpha says he doesn’t understand them as he watches the fight on his monitor tablet. Zero Two is amazed and wonders if this is what a human is. Hiro is equally surprised but Ichigo commands Hiro and Zero Two to attack at once. Delphinium and Argentea attack head on and slash the Gutenberg class Klaxosaur’s back legs to disable its movement. Genista is nearly ambushed by two smaller Klaxosaurs from behind but Chlorophytum kills them and tells Genista they should focus on the Gutenberg. Kokoro thanks Futoshi and Ikuno. The Klaxosaur expands its flesh towards the mining facility. Ichigo tells the squad the Klaxosaur is aiming for the facility. Genista rushes above the Klaxosaur and fires a shot through its back, exposing its core. Strelizia then rushes in and destroys the core, killing the Klaxosaur.

Nana is surprised that Mitsuru was able to recover. Hachi says it’s a good thing the squad defeated the Klaxosaur but they nearly got killed and he may have misjudged the situation. Nana replies that Hachi actually still wanted to take a chance with those kids and it’s just like when they were children.

In the greenhouse, Kokoro asks Mitsuru if he really wants her to cut his hair. Mitsuru says yes because if his hair becomes disheveled in battle, it will be a hindrance and he wants to minimize the risk even if its a little. Mitsuru bashfully adds that it's to protect Kokoro. This surprises Kokoro but she heartfully smiles as she begins cutting his hair. Mitsuru mentally tells himself that he doesn’t know if he can forgive Hiro but if Kokoro is smiling by his side, then it’s not necessary to live with a deception. As Kokoro begins to cut his hair, Mitsuru admits to himself that he likes Kokoro.

In the bathroom, Hiro looks in the mirror and says they’re getting bigger. He moves his bangs, revealing two tiny horns on his forehead.
S - Planning

*S - Planning* ( 小 -  計画, ***Ko - Keikaku)*** is the excavation process of Klaxosaur carcasses from beneath the Earth’s surface. The Klaxosaur remains dug up are then used to build the FRANXX units.

## Overview

After the Klaxosaurs began attacking Magma Energy plants in 2037, scientists from APE, specifically Dr. FRANXX, uncovered preserved Klaxosaur carcasses and began using them to build the prototype of the FRANXX units as a defense arsenal against the Klaxosaurs. Once this experiment proved to be a success, more carcasses began to be dug up from underneath Earth’s surface to build more FRANXX units.

Only those within the APE council knew the truth behind S - Planning and all the children were kept in the dark until they learned the truth from 001 in Episode 20.
Chapter 37

This is the thirty-seventh chapter of DARLING in the FRANXX.

## Synopsis

At Mistilteinn, Miku and Zorome are fighting in the backyard while Hiro watches from the patio. Zero Two asks him what he is doing and he says those two are fighting again. Zero Two isn’t surprised and refers to them by their names, which catches Hiro’s attention. He mentions that she called them by their names and she says it’s just convenient but he laughs and doubts that. She asks him why he is happy and he says it’s because she knows everyone’s names and this is the first step for people to get to know each other. Hiro also points out that, since he met her, she had been changing and it’s a good thing. Zero Two thinks about this and is about to say something before she simply asks him to continue being her wings.

In the living room, Goro and Ichigo bump into each other, which makes them u comfortable. She mentions how nice the weather is but Goro says that’s not what he wants to talk about. He explains that he knows she likes Hiro and he just wanted to tell her how he feels. Ichigo says it hurts her because she knows Hiro likes Zero Two. Goro agrees and notes they are similar. Ichigo says something is not right about Zero Two because when she looks at Hiro, Zero Two seems to be looking elsewhere.

In her room, Zero Two looks out the window and imagines seeing all the stamen who piloted with her and died coming out from the floor and asking how could she. She sees Hiro asking her if he was just her food to become human. She wakes up from the dream and touches her fangs, which have started to grow.

At the northeast of Gran Crevasse, the 9’s are fighting a horde of Klaxosaurs. Epsilon says they are in perfect form and these feelings come from the 9 Model, and Delta finds it ecstatic. Beta is dismayed how many of them keep coming but Delta says it’s awesome. She asks if they can capture the Gran Crevasse alone but Beta says Papa and the others told them not to. Gamma explains that’s because they don’t know anything about the unidentified klaxosaur. Alpha receives a warning message and mentions according to Dr. FRANXX, it’s not a mere klaxosaur. Meanwhile, Dr. FRANXX looks at the monitor and is shocked. Papa asks why he is frustrated and it’s so unusual of him. Dr. FRANXX says he got shocking data from the battle and *she* is moving on her own, which surprises Papa. A giant snake is seen nearby. Alpha asks if that’s the one and Dr. FRANXX confirms it is but warns the 9’s to be careful. Alpha is eager to get to see her - the one reigning since ancient times from the bottom of the ground and over the blue blood. Dr. FRANXX says she is Code 001, the Klaxosaur princess, the start of everything.

Chapter 19

This is the nineteenth chapter of *DARLING in the FRANXX*.

## Plot

Zero Two is about to board the escalator when Hiro reaches but he can’t enter the area because he is restricted. He shouts out to Zero Two that he may be scared of riding with her not because she’s not human but because of his inexperience and he thinks she is beautiful. Because she is always so confident despite being hurt, he thinks she is beautiful and he can spread his wings with her, and pleads for her not to leave. Zero Two abruptly says she can’t go back before attacking and subduing the soldiers. She uses one of the soldiers’ guns to break the glass of the corridor to reach a Hiro and she says that is the first time someone has said such embarrassing things to her and asks him if he wants to pilot with her.

## Plot

Ichigo has never heard of the 9’s before but Goro says Zero Two must be a member since the 9’s is a special unit under APE’s control. Alpha remembers Iota calls herself Zero Two and he finds it egotistical for her to disregard the code name Papa gave her. Alpha asks to speak to the squad leader and he finds it amusing to learn Ichigo is the leader. Angered, Ichigo calls him out for none of the special forces having manners and military achievement is more important for the parasites. Alpha says she has a good opinion but Squad 13 was quickly assembled without preparations and therefore did not get good results, which Ichigo reluctantly confirms. However, Ichigo credits Strelizia for saving them during the last battle and they are still growing and bonding together as rookies. Alpha is impressed with her contempt for losing and kisses her hand, much to her shock and Goro’s dismay. Alpha warns them to stay away from Zero Two because she is a monster who has devoured and discarded more than a hundred stamen. In the bathroom, Zero Two says she smells klaxosaurs and the battle is about to begin. She touches the tumor and says it must be painful but is beautiful. She asks Hiro he can back out of his third ride with her if he wants to. Hiro says he will ride with her and Zero Two smiles and laughs while dancing.

After Alpha leaves to return to the city, Ichigo and Goro discuss the valdity of the rumorus. Goro doesn’t want to believe they are true and Ichigo doesn’t know what to believe. The next day, a ceremony is held for the kissing between the two plantations and the mayor praises the squads. All the parasites enjoy the attention and praise from the adults but Ichigo is secretly worried and doesn’t feel happy because of the big battle approaching.

Alpha compliments Hiro and Zero Two, who asks him if he will still stop her. He says she has been ordered by Papa to return to the 9’s.

Dr. FRANXX appears on the intercom and says it’s a different story when Zero Two finds a partner. Hiro wonders who he is and Nana introduces him as the creator of the FRANXX. The squad is surprised by this. Dr. FRANXX tells Hiro he may already know that Zero Two is not an ordinary pistil because she has klaxosaur blood and is regarded as the savior of humanity, and since being her partner puts a big responsibility on his shoulders, he asks Hiro if he’s prepared to risk his life for her.

Hiro replies he was born to fight and protect the adults but he has found another reason since meeting Zero Two, which is to become her wings. Although he doesn’t know what the future holds, he wants to continue piloting with her and she says wants to as well as long as it’s with him. Ichigo starts crying and doesn’t understand why since Hiro is alive. Hiro and Zero Two exit Strelizia as the sun starts to rise. Meanwhile, under the Earth’s surface, the Klaxosaur Princess says they will feel it and much more for the blood of her siblings the humans have spilt. She calls them "foolish humans".
