13TH PLANTATION: CERASUS
This mission has a single objective.
to secure the region
known as the Gran Crevasse.
Currently, the 4th Combined Unit
is launching their offense.
They're struggling to gain ground
against the Klaxosaurs.
The 13th unit will join the other four
cities' units in the 6th Combined Unit.
What's at the Gran Crevasse?
I warn you, you may find this disturbing.
What's that? A black wall?
What's going on here? Are you serious?
You're kidding me.
This is awful.
This battle is clearly on
a different scale than any before.
Securing the Gran Crevasse has
long been Papa's greatest hope.
This could well be
humanity's most important battle yet.
Hey, isn't that
MOBILE AERIAL FORTRESS: COSMOS
Alas. She has devoured them all.
Untamable little beast.
At long last.
With the securing of the Gran Crevasse,
our hope will soon be fulfilled.
The construction of Hringhorni
is also progressing smoothly.
Once both are accomplished,
they shall return to the earth.
The time has come!
Where are you going, Werner?
I won't be pent up here.
I plan to witness this moment in person,
as close to the action as possible.
Zero Two?
Damn!
There are too many! We can't coordinate!
What?
Hang on! I'll be right
No!
Was that Strelizia?
What the
Hey, thanks for keeping them busy.
9'S SPECIALIZED FRANXX
Not too shabby, for humans.
9-TYPE
We'll take it from here.
Go have some fun in the back.
Mission HQ to all units.
6th Combined Unit, prepare to deploy.
Okay, get ready!
All right!
Well, we're off to kill some beasts!
Hiro, you'd better not eat my dinner!
Now, don't look so unsettled.
We'll be fine. Don't you worry.
WHERE
Okay.
Don't do anything crazy, Hiro.
Once this battle is over, I'll teach you
how to ride again, from the beginning.
AM I?
Come back alive, you all.
6TH FRANXX COMBINED UNI
Target point, F2.
All units, move out!
The likes of you
can't even get our blood pumping!
Keep on coming. Your numbers mean nothing!
How tiresome.
Come, entertain us!
Now, let's go!
And dinner is served.
Wow. It's like a whole team of Strelizias.
Let's get to work too!
This is admittedly
more than we bargained for.
There's no end to them.
Hey, Alpha. Look.
Who are they?
The Children of 13th Unit.
The ones Alpha likes.
Hey. So that's your machine?
It's most adorable.
Why, thank you.
Current status?
We're pinning them down here, but
there's no end in sight to this deadlock.
Look, do you see that?
There's a tough dome protecting the chasm.
The only way for us to get through
is to attack from within.
In other words
We have to go through there.
Come on, team!
Argentea and Genista, come with me!
Chlorophytum, give us covering fire!
-On it!
-On it!
Set to maximum output!
Right!
What in the world?
I've never seen anyone fight like that.
It's the 13th Unit.
A mess as usual,
but boy am I glad they are here!
Let's take this opportunity
to regroup, team!
Okay!
Mitsuru!
Here we go!
I see it!
Wait, is this a human construction?
Listen up! We're busting in from there!
What the heck?
The Klaxosaurs are fleeing.
Underground magma energy
disturbance detected.
-Remeasuring vibration waves.
-Oh, no.
-So you were even hiding those.
-Super Lehmann-class identified.
A Super Lehmann-class?
I've never even heard of that.
The mountain is moving!
The 26th City Our city
Crap! That thing is going to
tear through the Plantations!
Super Lehmann-class Klaxosaur
is moving from coordinate E3.
Its projected trajectory
intersects three Plantations.
Connect to Code 090.
Initiate Protocol 32.
Protocol 32?
What is the matter?
Nothing
Code 090.
There is great honor in this act.
I understand.
The Super Lehmann-class
is headed straight here.
Estimated time or arrival, 240 seconds.
It's going to plow right into us.
This is bad.
It's heading for the 13th City!
What did you say?
Well, what now?
That's
I see.
All units, initiate Protocol 32.
-Roger.
-Roger.
This is for the best, right?
The rest is in your hands, 13th Unit.
What was that?
It stopped!
No
Our city!
Come on, we have to protect it!
-Right!
-Right!
Zero Two?
THE LINES ARE BLURRING
SOMEBODY
FREE ME FROM HERE
Close the shutters!
If we lose this place, it's all over!
She's right. Neutralizing the Super
Lehmann-class is the top priority.
-Doctor, it's too dangerous.
-Papa says he'll handle the Gran Crevasse.
Please return to HQ!
And Hiro, you return to Mistilteinn!
Do you not find her far more beautiful
than any human?
Proud, pure, and above all, solitary.
Almost like a Klaxosaur herself.
You're wrong! Zero Two is no Klaxosaur!
I had thought
there might be a chance this time.
13TH PLANTATION: INNER CITY
The poor girl.
How many of these things
do we have to kill?
Quit whining, chubby!
We have to protect our city!
Don't call me chubby!
We could use some more
of those beams you fired before!
We don't have enough energy left.
We've already burned through our reserves!
Oh, don't give us that!
Please don't fight!
We have to work together!
Oh, dear, someone is in a frightful mood.
Just imagining her as an enemy
makes me shudder.
Such a hideous beast.
Zero Two.
Zero Two.
Back then, what were you?
What am I
even hesitating for?
WHO AM I?
They are really pushing us back!
We can't let them get any farther!
Out of ammo?
Then we'll just need
to use brute strength!
Hang on!
Damn it all!
We're not done yet!
We're going to protect this city!
Hey, Ichigo.
Ichigo! Behind us!
Don't lose focus, Ichigo.
Sorry.
What the
What's a training machine doing here?
The heck?
Hey!
No way, Hiro?
You're kidding me!
When was it that
I stopped asking questions?
Back then, I wanted nothing more than
to know about the outside world.
To leave the confines of the Garden.
I have always been alone
and anxious,
with no one to stand by my side.
But seeing you that day
and realizing that someone else
was fighting back against the world
I HAVE TO TELL ZERO TWO
made me happier than anything else!
It has to be you.
I can't
I can't go on without you!
Hiro!
What are you doing here?
What did you think you could do
in that training machine?
I am not letting you go!
What?
Hey, wait, Goro!
Haven't you had enough?
But
I can't stand to see
Hiro and Zero Two like this any longer.
Hiro. Get on.
What?
Isn't there something
you need to tell her?
Ichigo, we're taking Hiro to Zero Two.
I know you have unfinished business
with her too.
I'm sorry, Ichigo.
Boys, girls.
Nothing is ever simple, is it?
Let's go!
Here it comes. Hiro's consciousness.
What are these? Hiro's memories?
Stop. Don't show me.
I finally get a chance to connect
with Hiro, but not like this.
-Wait for me, Zero Two.
-My darling can only be you.
Just wait!
I don't stand a chance.
His mind is full of her.
Let's go, Hiro!
Right!
Go get them.
You're not fooling anyone!
I CAN NO LONGER
EVEN PRETEND TO BE HUMAN
THE LINES ARE BLURRING
If only I could become human.
Zero Two!
Ichigo? Why?
Why you I've had a bellyful
of getting pushed around by you!
Stop it, Ichigo!
You had to come and ruin everything!
I'm letting you have Hiro,
so start acting like you deserve him!
It's me, Zero Two.
I came to see you.
Defend Strelizia!
I hate to admit it, but only Strelizia
can take down that huge one.
They're starting to thin out.
Don't let your guard down.
I've never killed so many before.
Hey, Miku, something fell out.
What is that?
It looks almost human.
What? Come on, don't mess with us!
Right! It couldn't possibly
An explosion?
What are they doing?
The 37th Plantation backup operation
is 98 percent complete.
Do it.
Free them from the prison of the flesh.
What's going on?
Weren't there still Adults inside?
Are they making the cities self-destruct?
So it's begun.
Papa and the gang are trying
to get the job done without Strelizia.
How many more will be sacrificed?
They are willing to go this far?
How foolish.
Still no response.
In that case
Excuse me, Zero Two.
Please, just once more.
Let me reach you once more.
We've finished modifying
Code 016's memories.
However, there is an area of 002's
we cannot overwrite.
There seems to be some strong force
at work.
Erase the memories. They'll become noise.
But consecutive use
will cause tremendous stress.
No matter.
What of Code 016?
Return him to the Garden.
He'll be of no use now that
his blood is contaminated,
but he'll make an interesting experiment.
I didn't want to forget.
Because I was afraid that if I did,
I'd never become human again.
The first thing I learned to say was "I".
The second, "Zero Two".
And the third
Then I would be your darling!
"Darling."
Darling!
So you remember all this time.
You know, I think I'm interested in you.
Won't you become my darling?
Henceforth, you are my darling!
All alone, bearing so much hurt,
yet you fought back against this world.
I'M RIGHT HERE
Darling
I finally made it to you!
Don't look at me!
Aren't you scared of me?
I used you, you know.
That doesn't matter anymore.
But I called you my fodder!
I called you a monster!
So we're even!
You were right. I'm a monster.
That's why--
You're not!
Let's talk to each other this time.
We have to think this through.
I'm sure there's somewhere we can go.
This is where it all begins!
I'm sure this world is much
bigger than we can even imagine!
We couldn't make it happen then,
but this time
we'll see the outside world together!
Zero Two, we are two as one.
Any minute now, Hiro!
Oh, no!
Strelizia?
Look!
That light
Doctor?
They've gone and done it.
Strelizia!
Zero Two!
Darling!
Zero Two!
Darling!
Darling!
Darling, I'm so glad I met you!
I love you!
Same here, Zero Two!
I love you!
Cut the communication, idiots.
No kidding!
Honestly, such idiots.
I'm happy for you two.
Zero Two, we have to get that dome!
Can you make it?
Of course! You're with me, darling!
I suppose we should be joining them.
-Go!
-Go!
Now should be good.
-Here we go!
-Right!
Incredible.
The gate of the Gran Crevasse is now open.
At long last. The day of
humanity's liberation is near.
They call them Jian birds.
Birds that have but a single wing each.
Only when a male and female
join in union
can these incomplete creatures fly.
-And yet
-And yet
I
We
-felt such a life to be beautiful.
-felt such a life to be beautiful.
Hey, look there!
They're not giving up that easily,
it seems.
A core collective?
And a huge one, at that.
We won't make it in time.
Let's scram
before it obliterates this whole area.
Zero Two! Let's go!
Okay!
It's reacting already?
That was close
But what was that?
An enormous hand?
