"Alone and Lonesome" Transcription: " Hitori to Hitori " ( Japanese : 独りとヒトリ )

In the distant future, humanity is forced to reside in massive, mobile fortress cities due to fear of attack by giant monsters called Klaxosaurs. Klaxosaurs can only be fought by Franxx, giant robots that can only be operated by a male and female pilot working in unison. Dr. Franxx and Zero Two arrive in one such city to develop his latest Franxx. Hiro, meanwhile, is left depressed after failing his test to become a Franxx pilot and synchronize with his partner, Naomi. He encounters Zero Two by chance, who briefly flirts with him when he shows no fear of her horns. As Hiro's classmates attend the welcoming ceremony to become official Franxx pilots, Hiro debates leaving the city when a Mohorovičić class Klaxosaur attacks. Zero Two deploys in her Franxx, Strelizia, to fight it, but ends up getting injured and her partner is mortally wounded. Hiro volunteers to become Zero Two's partner and she kisses him in response, activating Strelizia's true form. Strelizia effortlessly defeats the Klaxosaur, and it is revealed that Zero Two is a human-Klaxosaur hybrid who has a reputation for killing her partners.
"What It Means to Connect" Transcription: " Tsunagaru to Iu Koto " ( Japanese : 繋がるということ )

Despite being able to pilot Strelizia with Zero Two, Hiro has no memories of what happened in the cockpit, leading some of his fellow pilots to be skeptical about what really happened, since it is rumored Zero Two is capable of piloting a Franxx on her own. Hiro's fellow pilots are also wary of Zero Two due to her reputation, especially Ichigo who is concerned about Hiro's safety. Meanwhile, the leadership of APE decide to further test Hiro's abilities and instruct him to participate in a mock Franxx battle, though he is forbidden from partnering with Zero Two or using Strelizia. Ichigo volunteers to partner with him in Delphinium. Zorome and Miku volunteer to be their opponents. During the mock battle, Hiro is briefly able to connect with Ichigo and pilot Delphinium, but suddenly loses his connection with her and is unable to restart Delphinium. This breaks Hiro's confidence in himself and leaves Ichigo frustrated that she can't do anything to help Hiro.
"Fighting Puppet" Transcription: " Tatakau Ningyō " ( Japanese : 戦う人形 )

Following the mock battle, Hiro's fellow pilots are assigned to their first sortie, with the task of defeating a Klaxosaur under the city, but as they are about to leave, Ikuno and Mitsuru's connection falters, thus the pilots of Delphinum, Argenta, and Genista proceed without them. However, the situation turns to the worst when they end up surrounded by a horde of Klaxosaurs and are forced to flee. Zero Two asks to assist them on Strelizia, but she is not allowed to sortie with Hiro, until Mitsuru, determined to prove he is a better pilot than Hiro, offers himself to pair up with Zero Two. Together, Mitsuru and Zero Two defeat the enemies with ease and rescue the others, but when they return, they find a heavily wounded Mitsuru, as a consequence of pairing up with Zero Two, who reaffirms her claim that Hiro is the only pilot compatible with her.
"Flap Flap" Transcription: " Frappu Frappu " ( Japanese : フラップ・フラップ )

Mitsuru begins to recover, but is traumatized from his experience with Zero Two. In fear of what happened in the last battle, Zero Two is called back by the authorities to return to the front lines. As Zero Two is escorted to a transport with Strelizia, a Klaxosaur appears and attacks. The other pilots are dispatched to face it, but are overpowered by the enemy. Seeing Zero Two being taken away, Hiro finally makes up his mind and urges her not to leave and become his partner instead. Zero Two then disobeys her orders and boards Strelizia with Hiro, which he manages to successfully pilot. The two then help the others to defeat the klaxosaur. Afterwards, Plantation 13 lifts off to rendezvous with Plantation 26, and Hiro resolves that he will pilot Strelizia with Zero Two, even if it kills him.
"Your Thorn, My Badge" Transcription: " Kimi no Toge, Boku no Shirushi " ( Japanese : キミの棘、ボクのしるし )

Plantation 13 links up with Plantation 26 in order to transfer much needed magma fuel. However, the process is sure to attract klaxosaurs, requiring the Franxx pilots of both Plantations to work together. Meanwhile, Hiro becomes an accepted member of the squad but Goro notices that Hiro's health has been declining significantly, with a blue tumor-like growth growing on his chest ever since he rode with Zero Two. Hiro manages to convince Goro to keep quiet about his condition. Klaxosaurs are detected heading for the Plantation and a plan to defend against them is made, though the pilots of Plantation 26 express their misgivings about Zero Two and Strelizia being involved due to them suffering losses in a past mission due to Zero Two's actions. That night, Ichigo confronts Zero Two in an attempt to convince her not to put too much of a burden on Hiro's body, but fails. Ichigo and Goro are then both left feeling frustrated over how neither of them can help Hiro. Hiro meets Zero Two the next morning, and despite her warning that this would be his third ride with her, which may result in his death, Hiro reaffirms his desire to ride with her.
"DARLING in the FRANXX" Transcription: " Dārin in za Furankusu " ( Japanese : ダーリン・イン・ザ・フランクス [e] )

As the horde of Conrad class Klaxosaurs, accompanied by a massive structure, approach the Plantations, the Parasites make a line of defense with Squad 26 on the front, Squad 13 in the middle, and Strelizia on the rear guard. After the minor Klaxosaurs are defeated, the structure reveals itself as a giant Gutenberg class Klaxosaur that overpowers Squad 26. Squad 13 then rescues them and join for a combined attack to give an opening for Strelizia to give the final blow. However, Strelizia fails to destroy the enemy and Hiro collapses from exhaustion. He then accepts his death until he sees Zero Two fighting back desperately and decides to not give up, recovering from his tumor and joining with his companions to destroy the Gutenberg Klaxosaur. As the pilots celebrate, Dr. Franxx rejoices upon the prospect that Hiro may one day realize Zero Two's wish. Zero Two on the other hand, affirms that there are many more Klaxosaurs for her to kill in order to attain it.
"Shooting Star Moratorium" Transcription: " Ryūsei Moratoriamu " ( Japanese : 流星モラトリアム )

Due to their achievements in the previous battle, Zero Two is permanently assigned to Squad 13 and Hiro is officially recognized as a Franxx pilot. Squad 13 is then rewarded with a vacation to a nearby beach. As Squad 13 plays around, they observe Hiro's relationship with Zero Two and begin wondering what exactly a "kiss" and "love" are. They then stumble upon the ruins of a town nearby and begin exploring them. They are perplexed at the existence of the town since they initially believed civilization only existed in the Plantations. Zero Two explains to them that humans used to live on the surface but were forced to abandon it for the Plantations. While exploring, Kokoro finds a book about human reproduction. Zero Two questions Ichigo about her knowledge about kissing. Later that night, Zero Two decides to go for a swim while Hiro and Ichigo walk on the beach and admire the stars, catching sight of a rain of shooting stars.
"Boys × Girls" Transcription: " Otokonoko × Onnanoko " ( Japanese : 男の子×女の子 )

The female pilots get into a fallout with the males after a battle where the females' clothes were destroyed by the enemy Klaxosaur's acid, much to the boys' enjoyment and the girls’ dismay. The girls then set a line across the dorms and forbid the boys from crossing over. Zero Two ignores the fight and willingly crosses back and forth to get close to Hiro and even feigns joining along to set up a trap for the boys who end up seeing the girls naked in the bath by accident. With the situation out of control, Nana steps in and reprimands the pilots for their behavior, and while the boys and the girls discuss the situation in separate, Miku decides to flee. When the others become worried and decide to look for her, they find her in one of the sealed off rooms in the dorm, where they discover items related to the previous members of Squad 13, which were presumably killed in battle long ago. Realizing the risk of their lives, the boys and the girls finally make amends and resume their duties together.
"Triangle Bomb" Transcription: " Toraianguru Bomu " ( Japanese : トライアングル・ボム )

Squad 13 is dispatched to take down another Gutenberg class Klaxosaur en route of collision with the Plantation. During the battle, Delphinium is caught by the enemy and Goro ejects Ichigo to save her, but becomes trapped inside the creature while the others are ordered to retreat. Once back at the base, the others contact Goro who affirms that he has a plan to take down the creature himself, while the other pilots are informed that despite Goro's situation, they will fire on the Klaxosaur should it approach the Plantation. The others then decide to fight the enemy again, but Ichigo insists to come with them, fearing for Goro's safety. Just as Goro is about to activate the self-destruct sequence to Delphinum's energy tank, sacrificing himself to destroy the enemy core, Ichigo dives inside the creature and reaches him, allowing Delphinum to escape to a safe distance as the energy tank destroys the creature. After the battle, Goro confesses his feelings for Ichigo, but claims that he is not in a hurry to hear an answer from her.
"The City of Eternity" Transcription: " Eien no Machi " ( Japanese : 永遠の街 )

The Seven Sages decide to reward the members of Squad 13 for their numerous victories against the Klaxosaurs and they are briefly allowed into the city to be awarded with medals. The ceremony is short and sweet, but on the way back, Zorome drifts away from the rest and falls after seeing one of the few residents. When Zorome awakens, he is greeted by the woman who saved him and he questions her about adult life. Her life seems worlds away from his experience and it is implied that the parasites will never become adults as their physiology is completely different because she had to use diagnostic instruments for animals to analyze his injuries. As they talk, Zorome can't shake the feeling that they have met before, but the woman denies it. The authorities arrive to pick him up, and treat him as if he carries an infection, quickly sending him back to the dorm. He spends the following days wondering why the woman was so familiar to him, but immersed in his activities, his memory of her gradually fades.
