Series Synopsis
In a post-apocalyptic world, humanity is in constant war with creatures known as klaxosaurs. To fight these gigantic beasts, humans rely on their secret weapons: the Franxx.
Franxx are giant robotic battle machines that require a two-person team – a male and a female – to pilot them. These specialized pilots, better known as Parasites, are children, and they are kept separate from the “adults.” Most Parasite units are rigid and uniform, but there is one that is special.
Squad 13, for unknown reasons, is allowed a lot more freedom than other teams. Among this group is Code: 016, a.k.a. Hiro (voiced by Yuto Uemura), and he has reached a breaking point. No matter how hard he tries, Hiro is unable to find a partner he can fly a Franxx with. As far as he is concerned, he is worse than useless. That all changed the day Hiro met her.
Code: 002, a.k.a. Zero Two (voiced by Haruka Tomatsu) is an ace Franxx pilot with a frightening reputation. None of her partners have been able to survive three flights with her. It is as if she is more monster than human. But one look at Hiro and Zero Two knows she has at last found her one and only darling.
