As in he made her in a lab or he hosed a klaxosaur? Both are probably valid theories with this show.

Going by the most recent episodes if he did gently caress a kaxosaur it would be strangely wholesome.

It's worth pointing out that Dr. FranXX does have a horn on the metal portion of his face. Not saying he's 002's father, but it could imply that he tried to mix blood himself however you want to interpret that. How he got that injury is surely a story in-and-of itself.

Nobody even mentioned a second new ED in as many episodes.

What if 02 is Dr. Franxx's child or something?

what if dr. franxx is actually from kill la kill and is ryukos dad and 02 is ryuko

02 can't be ryuko because she doesn't have any suspenders.

My personal theory is that the more-oni-ish character in the very first episode (The one during the narration about the one-winged bird) isn't 02.
She's got very long, WHITE hair instead of 02's pink hair, her horns are much longer, she has bloodred skin and claws, and bleeds blue klaxosaur blood (02 as far as I can tell bleeds red).

So, that character is probably 02's mother, and for lack of a better candidate, Dr. Franxx is her father.

She is 002, she has the same parasite code on her ankle. Of course she could be another 002 as we don't really know what determines one's number.

New idea for parasite numbers:
They are all frozen test tube babies and lower numbers have less genetic defects or were made earlier. The Nine series might be multiples or share identical parents.

This show is giving me weird THX 1138 vibes the further along it gets. With the creepy empty city in the dome and the fact the show is hinting at some insidiousness to the children's existence I'm wondering how far I'll be leaning to that thought. Guess we'll be seeing soon enough.

Largely, it's the way the society in it no longer uses sex for child birth and has totally converted to test tubing with code numbers (which I'm starting to wonder if that will be A Thing with this show) as well as the society seeming like there's not many people. (one person existed exclusively to be part of the entertainment of the society, and didn't even have a code number.)

FranXX is definitely NOT doing the thing of using drugs to remove sex drive though. I don't think any anime could get away with that.

I thought it was the law that all animes must get into compromising situations that look like they'll almost gently caress, but actual loving is strongly discouraged.

You're talking about a culture that gets some real wacky ideas about their idols when they find out they're "used goods".

Plus we all remember what happened to the last harem protag that just banged girls indiscriminately.

Also we all know that when Japanese anime teens bang it always results in teen pregnancy every time. And then their kid gets hit by a truck.

"Hit by truck" is a common shounen anime trope, often the only thing that can truly kill someone on manga/anime.
