I like how little time it took for Zorome to go "Whatever, papa doesn't care, we did this ourselves."

Dr. FranXX is going to help/manipulate the Plantation 13 kids into overthrowing APE. That has to be his endgame. FranXX will sacrifice himself ("I don't have much longer to live anyways" etc etc) so the kids can stay alive.

On a brighter note, I took Werner's comments to Nana as a sign that she was a normal parasite before. Maybe all of squad 13's bodies need to struggle outside of Papa's sterile program before they can live normally. At least I hope that's the case.

I mean APE just sent an ultimatum to the klaxxosaur princess with their super weapon nearing completion. Same oni girl is now calling out to Zero Two. poo poo is going to hit the fan soon if not next episode. I just hope our kids survive what's coming.

They were starting to become self-sufficient, genuinely connect with each other, and question the assumptions that get them loaded into gently caress-robots and get launched at their society’s mutant victims. It was a glimpse of what could have been, and now we’re about to see what actually is.

Man, APE's logistics fuckin' suck. Squad 13 have been in active duty of all of what, a year? And they're starting to fever out/go grey. Meaning they have a 13-14 year lead time on new parasites for a single year of duty. One wonders what a "normal" human trying to pilot a FranXX looks like to justify that kind of logistical nightmare. Also the mystery of what Nana/Hachi actually are deepens. Clearly still not "humans", but can't possibly be (unmodified) parasites either by their age.

They're probably aging more quickly since they're some kind of special test, the normal parasite squads have all looked older.

APE is not OSHA compliant. The book that appears in the show, The Golden Bough, says that the current religious order needs to be destroyed to return vitality to the world. Squad 13 is Franxx's attempt to do that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp0M2v7Erpk Someone made a custom ship for BallisticNG themed around DarliFra and it's weirdly very good, to the point I'm kind of baffled that they took the time to basically recreate the FranXX cockpit for the cockpit view.

They're such good kids, working through their problems both practical and emotional as a group. And they're all going to die.

"alright the survival of existence itself depends on this, how do we make sure it works" "let's engineer things so that only teens can fight, and only male and female pairs thus ensuring maximum teen drama at all times" "perfect, this cannot possibly fail in any way" and then everyone died

Everyone else seems to be more of a drugged, up, mind-wiped weapon component than a person. At that point, you’re just getting into why militaries pick silly names and appearances for their equipment, which is hardly without precedent in the real world.

Pretty much every question about what the gently caress is up with FranXXes and their parasite pilots can be answered with ‘that creep Werner insisted we do this, and we had to humour him or we’d lose another three plantations’.

I'm also thinking that all the squads and plantations are ultimately expendable assets for APE's true objective. They only need them (and only to an extent) until Papa gets what he wants.
