Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In a distant future, humanity lives within fortified mobile bases called "Plantations", under threat from strange creatures called Klaxosaurs. Klaxosaurs are drawn to Magma Energy, a substance mined from deep beneath the Earth's crust to fuel the Plantations. To combat the Klaxosaurs, the human race rely on young children who pilot Giant Mecha called FRANXX which are armed with Klaxosaur-killing weapons. These children are instructed from on high by "Papa" to kill the Klaxosaurs and protect humanity. For these children, this is their reason for being. They know nothing of freedom or joy or love. They don't even have names, only code numbers. They exist to pilot FRANXX and give their lives so humanity can thrive. When not needed in battle, they are confined to their "birdcage" within the Plantation until the next battle.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Code:016, a member of Squad 13, is unique among these children for two reasons: One: He gave himself a name "Hiro" and he has subsequently given names to all his squadmates, and two: He is incapable of piloting a FRANXX, even with a willing female partner. Because of this, he believes there is no reason for him to exist. He spends his days wallowing in self-pity until the day he crosses paths with a beautiful naked girl with long pink hair and short red horns. This girl, Code:002 "Zero Two", quickly takes a liking to Hiro and asks him to be her "Darling". From this simple chance encounter, a story of love, loss, separation and reunion unfolds, forever changing the lives of both Hiro and Zero Two, the rest of Squad 13 and humanity as a whole.DARLING in the FRANXX is a 24-episode Humongous Mecha anime series directed by Atsushi Nishigori, with mech designs by Shigeto Koyama (of Star Driver fame) and is a co-production between Studio TRIGGER and A-1 Pictures. Best characterized as a Coming of Age Story and Teen Drama in the Super Robot genre, it premiered on January 13, 2018 and concluded July 7. A manga adaptation drawn by Kentaro Yabuki (Black Cat, To Love Ru) is in simultaneous production for Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ website; it initially follows the anime's story before deviating later on.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })There's also an official Yonkoma by mato, DARLING in the FRANXX!. It's viewable in both their official Twitter and Shonen Jump+ website.The series is licensed by Crunchyroll and Funimation, the latter giving the series a simuldub.

Darker and Edgier: The anime is without a doubt the darkest series that Studio Trigger has produced since Kill la Kill and Ninja Slayer, almost reaching Evangelion's darker tone by the end of the first episode alone, which is jarring compared to their typical fare, especially in comparison to their previous production.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The act of piloting a Franxx is a pretty clear parallel to sex, what with the positions of the pilots, and Hiro's inability to pilot one in most situations is treated as if he has a case of The Loins Sleep Tonight, complete with him attempting to motivate himself to pilot by kissing his copilot. Another character even explicitly tells her stamen to "Get it up!" at one point when they can't move their Franxx. Referring to the male pilot as a "stamen" and the female pilot as a "pistil" is another example, these being the sexual organs of flowers. Additionally, piloting a Franxx requires both parasites to deeply trust each other, which makes the metaphor specifically "sex in a loving relationship". Ikuno's desire to pilot with Ichigo, but their inability to get the Franxx to move, reads as a bi/lesbian girl trying to start a relationship with another girl but failing due to Incompatible Orientation, which is reinforced by the third end credits having a shot of them Almost Kissing. The 4koma series even has her wishing they could pilot the same way the first Pretty Cures transformed, alluding to Nagisa and Honoka's own couple-like dynamic. Episode 18 confirms that Ikuno has feelings for Ichigo; it's unclear whether Ichigo returns them. In Episode 15, the loving reunion between Hiro and Zero Two is followed by the two flying into battle screaming each other's names. Zero Two in particular is very happy to be riding with her Darling. The Nines stand in for nearly all nontraditional relationships: Stamen girls with Pistil boys, the Zeta triplets as artificial clones, sex without love, LGBT (two girls or boys can pilot without problem, the Nines have no biological sex), and childfree couples, though in Alpha's case it crosses over with being disgusted with the idea of making them. Strelizia True Apus' appearance looks like Zero Two in a wedding dress with the Klaxosaur bomb being a flower bouquet.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: All of the parasites are raised with Papa, the head of APE, as a distant surrogate father figure that they are trying to impress. Zorome fully buys into this, and while the others are less enthusiastic, they all nod their heads in agreement when he starts boasting on how they are impressing Papa by defeating klaxosaurs.

Artistic License – Geology
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_1a5bba2b
comment
Artistic License – Geology: Magma is literally just rock that has melted from the Earth's internal heat, and once it's on the surface it's called lava. And we do make use of magma energy with our current tech; it's just called "Geothermal energy". However, the concept of "magma energy" in the series is basically just technobabble for whatever powers the series' machines and bears little resemblance to actual volcanology (beyond apparently being extracted from underground). Justified in Episode 20, where it is revealed to not actually be magma, but instead derived from klaxosaurs who "returned to energy".

comment
Hiro calls out Zero Two in Episode 14 for beating up the rest of Squad 13 in a fit of rage and under the assumption they lied to her about seeing him again (which Ichigo forbade her to do after nearly strangling him to death earlier), even going so far as to call her a "monster". Though to his credit, he didn't call her that on purpose, since he was referring to her acting like a "violent wild animal" instead of her current appearance. Hiro felt bad about this soon after and brought that up again to Zero Two during their reunion in the next episode.

Childhood Friend Romance: The relationship between Hiro and Zero Two is revealed to be this. Flashbacks show Zero Two and Hiro's Meet Cute that blossomed into Puppy Love and a Childhood Marriage Promise, before Zero Two was taken away by APE to be the subject of Coldblooded Torture to study her Klaxosaur physiology and Hiro was struck with Laser-Guided Amnesia.

Advanced Ancient Humans: The klaxosaurs! Late in the series it's revealed that they're the remnants of an ancient race of Ultraterrestrials and/or Human Aliens, Klaxo sapiens, who won a Pyrrhic Victory against an Alien Invasion millions of years ago, and retreated underground in anticipation of VIRM's return. Some became Energy Beings (and are being harvested as magma energy), while others became the klaxosaurs. Only their leader, the Klaxosaur Princess, remains humanoid.

Adam and Eve Plot: Defied. Once a food supply is established, hundreds of former Parasites are brought out of stasis to join the population. Considering the Professor was responsible for them being there, hidden from APE, he probably made sure there was enough genetic variance for a stable population.

Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_2756af0
comment
Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome: And how. Not long after Hiro made a Childhood Marriage Promise with Zero Two, APE soldiers capture the two. Hiro gets hit with Laser-Guided Amnesia as punishment for their escape attempt, while Zero Two once again becomes a subject of Coldblooded Torture to study her Klaxosaur physiology. Because of Hiro's tampered memories, Zero Two has no idea he was her original Darling when they meet in Episode 1. Then, when they finally recover their memories in Episode 13, Zero Two gets reassigned to the Nines and Ichigo stops Hiro from chasing her. It's not until Episode 15 when they at long last reunite and make up for lost time. In Episode 18, the Beta Couple (Kokoro and Mitsuru) get rocked with this as well. The couple have a wedding with the help of the other squad members. They are then captured by APE and the Nines to have their minds wiped. Zero Two remarks that the same thing happened to her and Hiro as children.

Break the Haughty: Zorome and Mitsuru are hit with this hard in episode 3, though for opposite reasons. Zorome bragging instead of finishing a klaxosaur gets Miku badly hurt, invoking My God, What Have I Done? from him. Mitsuru casually abandoning his partner and then bragging how much better Zero Two is for him and how much better he is for Zero Two than Hiro invokes I Am Not Left-Handed from her, getting Mitsuru badly hurt.

Sickeningly Sweethearts: Zorome describes Futoshi and Kokoro like this, and while they're not exactly over the top (and don't even seem to be necessarily together) they seem to have the most uncomplicated and "sweet" relationship in the main cast. In Episode 5, they actually seem to start picking up Hiro and Zero Two's romantic behavior, with Kokoro handfeeding Futoshi at breakfast. Episode 11 shows a rapid, gut-punch breakdown of their relationship.

The first time thanks to a klaxosaur with a nudifier liquid, the second thanks to Zero Two trolling them by tricking the boys into trying to take a bath at the same time as the girls.

Ikuno gets a Cooldown Hug version of this from Ichigo in Episode 18 when she confessed her unrequited feelings to the latter and broke down, openly admitting that she hates herself for being a "creep" who not only gets jealous at men for being around Ichigo, but also selflishly wanted Ichigo for herself. Ichigo, who learned her lesson from her failed attempt in getting rid of Zero Two from Squad 13 and claiming Hiro as a Love Interest four episodes earlier, symphatizes with Ikuno and tells her that feeling like this is also part of life. In response, Ikuno gives her thanks to Ichigo for at least being considerate to her feelings even though she won't let them go so easily.

Not Helping Your Case: Hiro in episode 8 trying to console the girls, embarrassed at Clothing Damage to themselves, by repeating one of Zero Two's earlier lines to him that a pilot is "better off being a little pervy".

Crapsaccharine World: Inside the plantations, it is shown that the adults live very comfortable lives, but have basically sacrificed all forms of human interaction and individuality, only pairing up for pragmatic purposes such as breeding. This is not even considering that this is a society that actively uses Child Soldiers to fight giant monsters that are a constant threat to the plantations.

 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_3cb1d38d
comment
The majority of Squad 13 lambasted Zorome in Episode 18 for justifying and defending APE's decision to crash Mitsuru and Kokoro's wedding ceremony, and then tamper their memories the same way they did to Hiro and Zero Two back when the latter two were kids. It took Zorome asking Papa about how many Klaxosaurs the Parasites should further kill to become adults in the next episode to finally realize that Papa is a Bad Boss.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While the events of episode 8 have a fair dose of Rule of Funny, those kinds of childish fights are to be expected when you put a bunch of teenagers who are just entering puberty to live in the same house. Dr. Franxx drops a Lampshade Hanging on this matter when Nana and Hachi ask him for advice on how to deal with it. In Episode 24, despite having used a warp gate to clear the heliosphere and presumably coasting at relativistic speeds, it still takes Hiro and Zero Two years to cross the void and reach the VIRM homeworld.

comment
Goro chews out Hiro in Episode 22 for always going off on his own and unknowingly acting like an Ungrateful Bastard to the rest of Squad 13 just because of his love and willingness to die for Zero Two, whose consciousness is still in Strelitzia Apus and fighting the VIRM by herself. As much as Hiro cared for the rest of his squadmates, Zero Two is his number one priority due to the The Promise they've made two episodes prior, and Goro understood his decision to save her in the end.

Broken Aesop
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: A significant factor behind the highly controversial ending. The Central Theme of Darling in the Franxx could be described as 'Passion is what gives us strength, and technology can never replace that.' Episode 10 in particular focuses on a woman who has replaced all human interaction with technology, and it's very clearly shown that while her life is comfortable and even pleasant, it's also emotionally empty and devoid of any strength or purpose. Yet at the end of the story, Hiro ends his life by spending two years with his body connected to Zero Two through a Matrix-esque attachments of tubes and cables, while Zero Two loses her body entirely and is transformed into a Franxx spaceship. Hiro is left unable to eat or move, unable to touch Zero Two, or kiss her, or even look at her. Neither express any horror at their condition, and near the end of the final episode Hiro and Zero Two rejoice that they're closer together than they've ever been before. This suggests that technology is in fact the key to love and intimacy despite human passion or interaction playing an important role in their increasingly romantic relationship.

Bittersweet Ending: After a seemingly endless struggle, the threat of VIRM has finally been extinguished, with the Klaxosaurs returning to the Earth to pass it on to humanity. However, Hiro and Zero Two had to sacrifice their lives to ensure their friends will live on to building a better world than the one they lived in before. Though it's shown centuries later after the epilogue that Hiro and Zero Two have reincarnated on Earth, with the two of them meeting once again.

Love Dodecahedron: By episode 7, the series' relationships are becoming quite the headache. Goro and Ikuno have feelings for Ichigo, who loves Hiro, who loves Zero Two, who reciprocates, while Miku and Zorome may have unadmitted feelings for each other. And theres a seperate Love Triangle between Mitsuru, Kokoro, and Futoshi. What makes it a headache is that outside of Zero Two these kids have about zero understanding of romantic feelings and relationships due to their upbringing, and thus have no idea how to act on these feelings. However, by episode 11, the various triangles are working themselves out.

Mythical Motifs
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_4e11940e
comment
Mythical Motifs: Jian: A mythical bird with only one wing that needs to pair up (male and female) to fly and live. Because of this it's also associated with romance. The motif is represented by the Parasites piloting the Franxx which take a male and female to pilot. Phoenix: Episode 24 gives this to Hiro and Zero Two who sacrifice themselves to stop VIRM and are reincarnated later on and with the Jian in their picture book looking more like a Phoenix in appearance. Justified, as in Chinese myth, the Fenghuang (phoenix) is also a fusion of two birds, one male (Feng) and one female (Huang). It's the exact same concept as the Jian.

Wham Shot: At the end of episode 3, we see Mitsuru bleeding and injured in the cockpit of Strelizia, revealing that the rumors surrounding Zero Two's partners being unable to ride with her more than three times before dying are true. The end of episode 8, showing the prior plantation 13 parasites...who were wiped out to a man. Episode 15 has two of them. First, an exposed Klaxosaur's core reveals what's clearly a human-shaped body. And then, just as Hiro and Zero Two defeat a gigantic Klaxosaur, an even bigger Klaxosaur hand tears itself out of the ground and massacres Plantation 13 in a single attack, leaving Squad 13 stranded. The final shot of episode 21 shows Zero Two as an apparently lifeless husk after using Strelizia Apath to repel VIRM.

You Monster!: Hiro tells this to Zero Two in Episode 14 after he stumbles onto her literally holding onto Ichigo by the neck after she's beaten his other teammates and admits that she did so because they wouldn't let her talk to him. He wasn't referring to her increasingly inhuman appearance, but to her selfish and violent behavior. He would later bring that up again as a way of apologizing to Zero Two near the end of Episode 15 in response to the latter's Heel Realization over treating and degrading him like "fodder".

Ikuno's desire to pilot with Ichigo, but their inability to get the Franxx to move, reads as a bi/lesbian girl trying to start a relationship with another girl but failing due to Incompatible Orientation, which is reinforced by the third end credits having a shot of them Almost Kissing. The 4koma series even has her wishing they could pilot the same way the first Pretty Cures transformed, alluding to Nagisa and Honoka's own couple-like dynamic. Episode 18 confirms that Ikuno has feelings for Ichigo; it's unclear whether Ichigo returns them.

Mitsuru returns the favor to Kokoro near the end of Episode 17 when she blamed herself for her baby-making attempts (including dragging him along with it), which resulted with her getting into trouble with both the Nines and Nana, and then tried to push Mitsuru away when he showed up in her room to console her. He even resorted to give Kokoro his own "Shut Up" Kiss just to snap her out of it, triggering Their First Time and Relationship Upgrade in the process.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: The manga freely rearranges how some events played out, mixing scenes and dialogues from different points of the anime. That way all the necessary scenes can be covered in the limited number of pages each chapter has without hurting the overall pacing. The Nines are introduced and mostly wiped out far earlier than in their original appearances. This turn of events also gives them the opportunity to make a Heel–Face Turn at an earlier point than in the last five episodes. Futoshi and Ikuno are the ones who suggest partner switching instead of the opportunity being presented to them. Mitsuru's Child Fever also plays a big role into this instead of his piloting with Zero Two.

Romantic Spoonfeeding: Zero Two does this with Hiro in Episode 5 with one of her typical pieces of bread drenched in honey. The fact that he actually eats it shows how much he's come to trust her. Futoshi and Kokoro, the one pair that seems to have the most well-adjusted relationship among the main cast, are shown following their lead not long after.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Hiro and Zero Two. In more ways than one. He's collected and Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life while she's unruly and not fond of regulations or social norms. Their color patterns emphasize this even moreso when blue Tainted Veins start appearing on Hiro's chest after his second ride with her. Done in an almost literal sense between Zero Two and the Klaxosaur Princess. The former is wild and passionate, whereas the latter is cold and calculating, and Zero Two is made partially from the Princess's DNA.

The Big Damn Kiss: In the very first episode no less. Zero Two pulls Hiro into one hell of a kiss, signifying their unison as Hiro offers to co-pilot Strelizia with her. Later, in Episode 15, Hiro initiates one with Zero Two after they cleared up their misunderstandings and apologized for their mistakes. That kiss cements their Official Couple status and triggers Strelizia's red transformation.

Floral Theme Naming: All of the Franxx are named after flowers, with the male pilots called stamens and the female pilots called pistils. Locations are also named after plants: Plantation 13 is nicknamed Cerasus, the home of its parasites is Mistilteinn, Plantation 26 is Chrysanthemum and APE HQ is Cosmos. The place parasites are gathering after the Gran Crevasse battle is named the Bird's Nest. Takes a darker turn with the reference to "pruning" in episode 11.

Production Throwback: Strelizia's Transformation Sequence in episodes 1 and 15 is very similar to ones of Ryuko Matoi's and Satsuki Kiryuin's transformation with their Kamuis in Kill la Kill. Several to early Studio Trigger series When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace, including a love triangle between a black-haired boy with lackluster powers and two girls with red and blue hair, the forthright and aggressive suitor calling the boy "darling" repeatedly while the passive suitor seethes with resentment, and Saori Hayami voicing a sweet, gentle girl with nearly the exact same hairstyle as Kokoro.

One True Love
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_9c4003a1
comment
One True Love: The main symbol of the series is the Jian, a one-winged bird from Chinese mythology. In Chinese myths, a pair of Jian birds represents marriage since the two are inseparable and co-dependent on one another. Much like a Jian pair, Hiro and Zero Two are inseparable and serve as each other's wings. Back when they were children, Hiro tried to help Zero Two escape the APE facility where she was being tested on and tortured. Looking past Zero Two's inhuman appearance, Hiro became the only boy who admired and loved her for who she was, Warts and All, and even promised to marry her while they were on the run. Their short time together as children made an impact on Zero Two and, as Episode 12 reveals, she spent much of her life looking to reunite with her original "darling", the boy she loved and missed. When she finds out Hiro was her "Darling" all along in Episode 13, she becomes distraught over her actions up to that point before the two make up in Episode 15. Since then, the two have shown unconditional love for one another and know that their bond will help them overcome whatever obstacle fate throws at them.

A Day in the Limelight: While the early episodes focus mostly on Hiro, the other pilots get episodes that focus heavily on them, such as Zorome in episode 10. And in some cases, it focuses on their interactions with their partner, such as Goro and Ichigo in episode 9.

Foreshadowing
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: In the opening's introduction screens Kokoro and Mitsuru are the only two pilots who are glancing to their sides and towards their own partners (while everyone else is looking towards the camera). However, the way the shots transition between one another can also make it look like they aren't actually looking at their partners, but at each other. After they pair up in episode 11 the opening is updated to have them in the same shot. Ikuno's orientation starts being hinted at in episode 4, with further hints along the way until her final confession in 18. The Lyrics to Strelizia's theme song "Vanquish", first heard in episode 1, actually summarizes episode 13. The song is in English, but in an etherial choral style, making it hard to notice if you didn't know ahead of time.

Forgotten First Meeting
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_a0774be0
comment
Forgotten First Meeting: Strongly implied with the old lady that Zorome talks to during episode 10. He starts tearing up suddenly, but doesn't know why. Some quick Flash Back scenes are shown of when he was still young, implying that the lady may have been a caretaker for him, if not a relative possibly his mother, since both of them have purple eyes. For her part, the lady claims this is their first time meeting, and her dialogue is a bit vague at times. But she also implies she may have taken care of him before, but had to part ways with him while he was still very young. Hiro and Zero Two met in the Garden when they were kids. Episode 13 explores it extensively.

The Promise
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_a63fd70f
comment
The Promise: Of the "made before the start of the series" variety, and naturally explaining one character's behavior. Hiro promised to pilot with Mitsuru before the latter underwent a procedure that was extremely likely to kill him. As soon as Mitsuru returned, Hiro had completely forgotten, crushing Mitsuru's opinion of Hiro. We later find out this wasn't Hiro's fault; he had a lot of other memories wiped, and the promise was collateral damage.

The Loins Sleep Tonight
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_ad3e13c5
comment
The act of piloting a Franxx is a pretty clear parallel to sex, what with the positions of the pilots, and Hiro's inability to pilot one in most situations is treated as if he has a case of The Loins Sleep Tonight, complete with him attempting to motivate himself to pilot by kissing his copilot. Another character even explicitly tells her stamen to "Get it up!" at one point when they can't move their Franxx. Referring to the male pilot as a "stamen" and the female pilot as a "pistil" is another example, these being the sexual organs of flowers. Additionally, piloting a Franxx requires both parasites to deeply trust each other, which makes the metaphor specifically "sex in a loving relationship".

Loophole Abuse: In episode 8, the girls tape off half of the dorm after they got mad at the boys when their uniforms melted and the boys gave them pervy looks. Unfortunately they forgot to include the dining hall, so the boys immediately tape the girls section out of it. They also bathe outside because the bathrooms were on the girl's end, meaning they will see the boys in towels when they come back to the dorm and can't do anything about it.

We learn this during a flashback while she's killing her current partner, Hiro, who happens to be the boy in question.

 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_c87660d5

Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Goro does this to Ichigo when the latter has a Heroic BSoD over Hiro's supposed death in Episode 6. Hiro tearfully gives one to a still emotionally broken and sobbing Zero Two at the climax of Episode 15 after she sees herself as a disgrace to her Darling and kept on convincing herself that she's a "monster" for her actions in the past three episodes, stating that they should talk it out and think it through as well as reassuring her that they'll explore the world together and this won't be like last time before declaring they're "one" and giving her a Big Damn Kiss. This would not only snap Zero Two out of her funk, but also grant Strelitzia access to her Super Mode and the two went into a Relationship Upgrade immediately afterwards. In Episode 16, Kokoro gives a reassuring variant to Mitsuru when the latter told her that he used to resent Hiro for forgetting their promise and just to have a purpose but now that he and Hiro have buried the hatchet after finding out that APE tampered Hiro's memories years ago, he's currently unsure what to do. Also from the same episode, Zorome told Futoshi that he should eat to keep living instead of the other way around after finding out that he had an eating disorder. Mitsuru returns the favor to Kokoro near the end of Episode 17 when she blamed herself for her baby-making attempts (including dragging him along with it), which resulted with her getting into trouble with both the Nines and Nana, and then tried to push Mitsuru away when he showed up in her room to console her. He even resorted to give Kokoro his own "Shut Up" Kiss just to snap her out of it, triggering Their First Time and Relationship Upgrade in the process. Ikuno gets a Cooldown Hug version of this from Ichigo in Episode 18 when she confessed her unrequited feelings to the latter and broke down, openly admitting that she hates herself for being a "creep" who not only gets jealous at men for being around Ichigo, but also selflishly wanted Ichigo for herself. Ichigo, who learned her lesson from her failed attempt in getting rid of Zero Two from Squad 13 and claiming Hiro as a Love Interest four episodes earlier, symphatizes with Ikuno and tells her that feeling like this is also part of life. In response, Ikuno gives her thanks to Ichigo for at least being considerate to her feelings even though she won't let them go so easily. Mitsuru does this again to Kokoro in the penultimate episode after the latter kept on ranting that she's now worthless as a Parasite due to the Teenage Pregnancy she got from the night she slept with Mitsuru preventing her from piloting a FRANXX, telling her that responsibility doesn't matter because he's also worthless and a weakling who can't even understand what love is but being with her as well as protecting her and their unborn child's future is Worth Living For. When Kokoro asked Mitsuru why did he still kept the wired ring, he told her that starting over again even after their wedding gone wrong is their own personal fight and she can call his name as many times as she wanted.

In Spite of a Nail: The manga's final colored illustration shows what happens to the cast past the alternate final battle. Despite everything and not delving into sexuality as much as the anime, Kokoro and Mitsuru still remain the first of the pairs to have a child, as the former is pregnant in the picture. The cast sans Zero Two and Hiro also take roles similar to the ones they had when they began rebuilding old human civilization.

comment
What the Hell, Hero?: In Episode 11, Futoshi does this to Kokoro over breaking their promise of being "partners for life" by willingly partnering with Mitsuru during the "partner switch" Nana proposed. Hiro calls out Zero Two in Episode 14 for beating up the rest of Squad 13 in a fit of rage and under the assumption they lied to her about seeing him again (which Ichigo forbade her to do after nearly strangling him to death earlier), even going so far as to call her a "monster". Though to his credit, he didn't call her that on purpose, since he was referring to her acting like a "violent wild animal" instead of her current appearance. Hiro felt bad about this soon after and brought that up again to Zero Two during their reunion in the next episode. Kokoro got two of them during the events of Episode 17, first by Mitsuru for trying to force herself on him, and later by Nana over her thoughts of wanting to concieve children, which is against APE's rules. Both times, this does not sit well for Kokoro. The majority of Squad 13 lambasted Zorome in Episode 18 for justifying and defending APE's decision to crash Mitsuru and Kokoro's wedding ceremony, and then tamper their memories the same way they did to Hiro and Zero Two back when the latter two were kids. It took Zorome asking Papa about how many Klaxosaurs the Parasites should further kill to become adults in the next episode to finally realize that Papa is a Bad Boss. Goro chews out Hiro in Episode 22 for always going off on his own and unknowingly acting like an Ungrateful Bastard to the rest of Squad 13 just because of his love and willingness to die for Zero Two, whose consciousness is still in Strelitzia Apus and fighting the VIRM by herself. As much as Hiro cared for the rest of his squadmates, Zero Two is his number one priority due to the The Promise they've made two episodes prior, and Goro understood his decision to save her in the end.

Rotating Protagonist: While the early episodes focus mostly on Hiro and Zero Two, after episode 6 each episode is narrated by a different character and the focus is successively put either on the group as a whole or on each individual pair, while the two mains take a backseat.

Screw Your Ultimatum!: The Klaxosaur Princess in episode 17. A party of adults led by two of Papa's group tries to threaten her into surrendering. Her nonverbal refusal is a Brown Note to the negotiator. The other one attacks her, and she impales him with Combat Tentacles and slaughters the rest of them.

 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_e0111a63
comment
Phlebotinum-Handling Requirements: Franxx cannot be piloted by just any pair - the duo, aside from being opposite genders with good mental sync, must also be naturally compatible. This is taken to an extreme with Zero Two and Strelizia: She can pilot Strelizia solo in a lionlike form in emergencies, but still requires a partner to unlock the Franxx's full combat power, and Hiro is to date her only partner to survive more than three sorties.

Childhood Marriage Promise
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_e195807e
comment
And how. Not long after Hiro made a Childhood Marriage Promise with Zero Two, APE soldiers capture the two. Hiro gets hit with Laser-Guided Amnesia as punishment for their escape attempt, while Zero Two once again becomes a subject of Coldblooded Torture to study her Klaxosaur physiology. Because of Hiro's tampered memories, Zero Two has no idea he was her original Darling when they meet in Episode 1. Then, when they finally recover their memories in Episode 13, Zero Two gets reassigned to the Nines and Ichigo stops Hiro from chasing her. It's not until Episode 15 when they at long last reunite and make up for lost time.

Animal Motifs
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_e2ccee25
comment
Animal Motifs: There are roughly three examples, the Birds and the Bees... and the Bears. Birds: The young parasites are compared to nestlings huddled together in their dark nest dreaming of one day being able to see the sky; the cooperation between male and female pilots operating Franxx is compared to a myth of a species of bird where males and females have only one wing and thus can only fly together; and parasites who are unable to pilot are compared to birds unable to fly, doomed to an early death because, "where would a flightless bird go?" Bees: The Plantations' society is divided into strict societal roles, with Papa and the other adults acting like queen bees while the parasites act as soldiers defending the hive/plantation. Their tech and power is fueled by magma, which is colored a honey gold color. The interior city of the plantation is all golden buildings. Gold hexagonal shapes like honeycomb are frequently used, in in interior hallways, in the mission control computer screens and cockpit screens of the Franxx. It also ties into the parasites' designation as stamens and pistils, and all the Franxx being named after flowers. And yes, The Birds and The Bees is explored as well... Bears: Relatedly, the klaxosaurs are giant beasts trying to steal the plantations' magma like bears do to honey bee hives. Zero Two, being part klaxosaur, also seems to have a fondness for covering her food in either honey or syrup. She also first met Hiro while she was catching fish with her teeth.

Whole-Plot Reference: Episode 10 shows that life in the Plantation inner city is basically Brave New World, and the kids are pretty much one of the lower classes used by the "adults" for their needs. The plot of "The Beast and the Prince", the book that shows up in episode 13, is strikingly similar to Hans Christian Andersen's version of The Little Mermaid.

Unexplained Recovery: In "Jian", Delphinium is badly damaged trying to immobilize Strelizia long enough to pass Hiro aboard to reunite him with Zero Two, with her weapon destroyed and part of her head ripped off. But in the next shot while she's holding the line against klaxosaurs she's back to normal. And it's fighting in its normal mode suggesting Goro somehow teleported back on board.

You Are Number 6
 DARLING in the FRANXX / int_ea6f361f
comment
You Are Number 6: Only Zero Two is known by her numbered designation while the rest of the children have actual names. And even those are only a very small step above this trope, as they are based on alternative readings of their respective numbers (invented by Hiro). It's later revealed that all Parasites are identified by their designation, and Hiro's group are an anomaly for having adopted nicknames – another team comments that such a thing seems pointless. Episode 13 reveals that Zero Two's name was also invented by Hiro - after briefly considering Oni and quickly thinking better of it.

Big Damn Heroes: Hiro and Zero Two pull this off in Episode 4: After deploying Strelizia against orders, they proceed to assist the other four Franxx who were pinned down by the klaxosaur. Ichigo diving in a Klaxosaur by herself to save Goro in Episode 9. In the manga's equivalent to this plot, the "saver" and the "saved" are reversed, which leads into a more romantic tone between them. In the manga, Genista and Chlorophytum come to the Nines' rescue after they've all but been completely wiped out by the Kalxosaur Princess.

Before some guards arrive to escort him back, he asks her if she can be his family when he becomes an adult and moves into the city, but then cuts himself off and asks to be her friend instead. She refuses, but her answer is obscured by static before it can be heard.

Locked Out of the Loop: Hints are given throughout the show that there's more to the children than meets the eye, such as why they're called parasites, and are normally unable to enter the underground city. Even the other team they worked with in a previous episode hints that the children are unaware of their special situation and will likely not reach adulthood as Zorome constantly claims.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Episodes 23 and 24 will bring you tears of joy. Hiro and Zero Two merge with Strelizia True Apus, and after a two-year journey through deep space, they reach the VIRM homeworld and deliver a klaxosaur bomb, winning the war at the cost of their bodies. The humans back home rebuild Earth and civilization, with Goro and Ichigo finally getting together and thousands of Human Popsicles of failed and former parasites being brought out of cryogenic suspension, swearing off magma energy forever. Seemingly many decades later, Hiro's and Zero Two's souls make it back to Earth and are reincarnated.

Together in Death: In the series finale, Hiro and Zero Two sacrifice their lives to stop the VIRM. The Official Couple knew they were going to die after they dived the Strelizia into the Klaxosaur bomb. They also knew that this wasn't the end for them and that, no matter how long it took, they would meet again. Sure enough, they do in the epilogue when their souls return to Earth centuries after the battle and reunite as human kids.

Downer Beginning: Zig-Zagged. The series starts with Hiro musing on his uselessness as a Stamen and his inability to pilot, alongside with his longtime partner Naomi being Released to Elsewhere. However, episode 2 is arguably his Darkest Hour, with him feeling like a complete failure due to being unable to reinstate his parasite licence, before recovering for a while with Zero-Two's aid...Which brought with it the threat of death due to Zero-Two's cursed nature.

Cherry Blossoms: In the second half, it plays an important part of both Hiro's and Zero Two's love and restarting their relationship. In the last episode after both Hiro and Zero Two sacrifice themselves to stop VIRM, a cherry blossom sprung out where Zero Two's body was at and acts as both a symbolic representation of both Hiro and Zero Two love and humanity's prosperity.
