Darling in the Franxx (2018) s01e06 Episode Script
Darling in the Franxx
1
Current Klaxosaur swarm distance, 4,000
Final defensive wall, 85 percent complete.
Estimated time of completion, 2,200 hours.
They're moving with it as a swarm.
It's possible that it's also a Klaxosaur.
However, I've never seen one like this.
You're seriously going out there?
Yes.
You fool.
Apparently, there are more
Klaxosaurs than expected.
Will we even make it back alive?
At least, we can't expect it to go
like our prior missions.
Just let the 26th Unit handle everything.
Seeing as we're apparently a dead weight.
That's awfully negative.
It's hard to be optimistic,
with how outmatched we are.
What's gotten into you cowards?
Don't forget, I'm on your side!
I don't know about Zorome,
but hey, we've got Strelizia this time.
Anyway, the 26th Unit won't beat us!
It's not them we have to contend with.
Where's Hiro?
He's still inside.
Don't you think you should tell him?
-Go on.
-Hey.
Ichigo?
Oh, well
They said the mission starts
at midnight tonight.
Did you take a nap?
Otherwise, you might get sleepy.
No. I was on edge.
I see.
To be honest, I barely slept myself.
Although, I felt refreshed
after I took a bath.
Right.
Well
Ichigo.
Yes?
Let's make this mission a success.
Oh, well Right.
I'm sure it's tough being the leader,
but if anyone can do it, you can.
I'm depending on you.
I could say the same! I depend on you.
I mean What I've always felt for you
Sorry. What about me?
I
I've always felt
you were like my brother.
Yes. I feel the same way.
I'm sure the same goes for Goro.
Ichigo, we're counting on your leadership.
Be good to Goro!
How did it go?
He sends you his regards.
That guy
Goro.
I plan to keep Strelizia in reserve
as much as possible on this mission.
Got it.
It's finally time, darling.
Yes.
Fourth gate, open.
Quickly.
Numbers two through five,
formation gamma quartet.
Repeat, formation gamma quartet.
The current conditions are clear.
Air temperature 22.6 degrees Celsius.
Wind from the northeast
at 8.1 meters per second.
Safety system online.
We have new data on the Klaxosaurs.
We've ascertained a gargantuan body
in addition to the Conrad-class swarm.
Though it matches no existing records,
we've deemed it a Klaxosaur
based on its ability to move autonomously.
For now, we will call it Target Beta.
It's huge!
Are you serious?
And so many of the small ones!
It's dangerous to engage something
we have no data on.
Thus, once combat begins,
focus on eliminating the Conrad-class.
It's 090 who will have command
on the ground.
Understood.
It's time. All units, commence mission.
-Strelizia, remain on standby.
-Roger!
Okay, 26th Unit, let's do this.
Okay!
Focus on neutralizing each one!
Just take it one at a time,
and we can't lose.
How many got past us?
Three. No, four!
Hey, 13th Unit, take care of them.
However, avoid advancing too far forward.
Intrusive maneuvers could
disrupt our coordination.
You mean, "Stay out of our way."
Just freaking say it.
They have less patience for us
than I thought.
But it's true. We're still green.
The 26th Unit will be carrying us
the whole way.
Oh, really?
Here they come.
We have to stop them here!
Hold still!
What are you doing?
I just overshot a bit!
Damn it! Don't touch Kokoro!
Hang in there.
Thank you, Ichigo.
Zorome, draw the enemy in
without getting too close.
You're fast enough.
Already on it!
Mitsuru, stay close to Genista
and provide support.
Ichigo, you're getting flustered too.
Code 015?
Why put 016 and another teen-code as agile
as her on such an ad hoc test unit?
Second wave, incoming.
Here they come. Don't let any through!
Look, darling.
The way they fight is a mess.
A far cry
from the disciplined bunch over there.
So they are losing ground?
They are barely holding out.
Oh, this makes me antsy.
I want to get in on the fight already.
Zero Two, why do you fight Klaxosaurs?
You always seem to enjoy it.
I thought there might be a reason.
A reason?
Because I'm a monster, I guess?
What about you, darling?
What? Me?
To protect Papa and the Adults
of the city, I suppose.
That's it?
That's it. After all,
we were born for that purpose.
Lame.
If they're losing ground,
we should join the fight.
Right.
Strelizia has joined in!
She's at it again.
Stick to the mission plan!
Why are you out front?
I'm just here to help my teammates.
We warned you to follow
Damn them.
What do we do?
Ignore them.
Let's finish this bunch!
Amazing!
Like a well-oiled machine.
Darling, is that all you've got?
Now, that's more like it!
Strelizia, stand down!
I'm fine. I can keep going!
Don't argue. Return to your position!
High and mighty.
Target Beta has breached
the second defensive line.
So it has no intention of stopping.
We're going to engage Target Beta.
Use caution.
How will that thing even attack us,
without arms or legs?
All right, it's working.
Now!
What the That sound
Is it screaming?
Look!
It turned humanoid?
It can do that?
A Gutenberg-class!
We're in trouble.
It must not get past us!
All units, engage the target again!
This is bad.
All units, retreat!
Out of fuel?
Don't stand there like an idiot!
You owe us for that one!
Yes, we do.
The 26th Unit has withdrawn.
The 13th Unit will deal with
the Gutenberg-class.
If only it were that simple.
How do we stop something that big?
Simply stopping it would be pointless.
If we don't neutralize it before
it breaches the wall, it's over.
We can pull it off
as long as we coordinate with Strelizia!
Yes, I guess that's our only option.
Who cares how we do it?
What matters is proving to them
that the 13th Unit can hold its own!
Understood. Leave it to me.
Wait!
Strelizia, stay where you are.
What?
We can't do this by ourselves!
Ichigo, do you have some sort of plan?
We'll only use Strelizia
for the finishing blow.
This is no time
to conserve resources!
Calm down, Zorome.
Strelizia's spear is the only thing
that can penetrate that hulk's core.
Goro.
So we have to create an opening,
then hand it off to Strelizia.
That's the plan, right, Ichigo?
Oh, right, yes.
Let's show them our tenacity!
Right. So that's the plan.
Hiro, you got that?
The finisher is on you.
Got it.
Commence mission, 13th Unit!
Thanks, Goro.
Right now, just focus.
Okay.
All right! Here we go!
Be a man and hang in there!
-You put your back in it too!
-Obviously!
They'll never call us a dead weight again!
Futoshi!
We must give Strelizia that opening.
Yes, I know!
Does it hurt, darling?
But we can't rest
till we defeat that thing.
You can do it, right?
Yes. Of course!
Hiro!
Now!
Time to end this!
Strike through!
I did it.
Hiro!
Get out of there!
Hiro!
Link lost between Code 002 and Code 016.
No!
Their timing is the worst.
Hiro! Zero Two!
Come in!
Come on, Hiro!
Hiro is dead!
Ichigo!
Pull yourself together!
Come on, Hiro! What are you doing?
This can't be!
Were the rumors true?
We have to go help them!
Our bigger concern is that
it's going to breach the wall!
We have to stop it!
I couldn't tell him
I couldn't tell him not to ride
Get a grip on yourself!
There's no time for tears now!
We have to worry about our own lives!
Oh, so I died.
Well, I'm sure I did what I could.
There you go again, quitting as soon
as you've satisfied yourself.
Never once bothering
to listen to your partner.
I didn't quit.
I just know I've reached my limit.
This isn't like when we parted, Naomi.
Besides, I'm sure Zero Two can fight on
with someone else.
She made it this far without me.
You're happy with this, Hiro?
In the end, I was able to ride a FRANXX
and help the others.
I have no regrets.
You liar.
Where am I?
Zero Two.
You came to see me off?
Thanks to you,
I was able to reclaim my place.
To fulfill my role as a Child,
even if just for a brief moment.
Wait.
Why do you look so lonely?
What?
No. We didn't beat it?
It can't be!
Damn you! You monster!
Stop, Zero Two!
You can't do this alone.
Any more, and you'll die too!
Why do you keep fighting?
Because I'm a monster, I guess?
Is this how it's been every time for you?
Partner lost, forced to continue,
all alone?
Then you can't fly alone,
no more than I can!
I'm always alone too,
thanks to these horns.
What am I doing just lying here?
Despite what Zero Two is going through
before my very eyes.
I want to help you.
I'm going to ride with you
once more on Strelizia.
Because my wing
exists for you.
Darling?
I'm your partner. I won't leave you alone!
Hiro The bastard's alive!
Hiro.
Hiro's vitals have returned to normal!
What in the world
Wow.
Doctor?
It's transforming again!
This is bad news!
Well, don't just stand there, Ichigo!
Here's our chance!
Now it's our turn!
We're getting in on this too!
We have to make an opening
for Strelizia again!
Right!
Hiro!
Zero Two!
Let's fly!
Yes!
On our wings!
On our wings!
Wings
That boy just might be able
to grant Zero Two's desire.
Zero Two.
Yes?
I found another reason
for riding a FRANXX.
Really? What?
I want to be your wing.
Though I may not make it next time.
Not you.
You'll do fine next time,
and the time after.
They call them Jian birds.
Those birds have but a single wing each,
yet when a male and female join in union,
they can fly farther than anyone else.
If I can be your wing,
then even if it costs my life,
I shall continue to stay here,
by your side.
For it may be my purpose for living.
It's not enough.
I must kill more Klaxosaurs.
Well, you've certainly
made some new friends.
