Darling in the Franxx is a completely original anime that began airing in winter 2018. Franxx are giant humanoid weapons developed to repel the mysterious giant creatures known as Klaxosaurs, which attack humanity living in a deserted world. Parasites are young boys and girls created to pilot Franxx. The adults who created the parasites control the world from behind the scenes. This anime tells the story of young boys and girls who get caught up in the conspiracies of adults.

As a misunderstanding causes distance between Hiro and Zero Two, the Klaxosaurs attack. Zero Two goes berserk in Stampede Mode and is surrounded by the Klaxosaurs. Hiro heads to Zero Two alone in his robot. This is one of the most memorable scenes in DARLING in the FRANXX, where Zero Two and Hiro truly understand each other.

This is, in my opinion, one of Zero Two's most famous quotes. These are the words spoken by Hiro, a dropout parasite who can't pilot a Franxx, when he and Zero Two pilot a Franxx for the first time. Zero Two and Hiro met as children and promised to marry each other, but their memories were erased by the adults, and this is the scene of their fateful encounter.

Hiro, who had failed as a parasite candidate, was given another chance. Ichigo, Hiro's childhood friend, volunteered to be Hiro's partner, but was unable to pilot the Franxx properly. When Hiro said that they kissed when they piloted the Franxx, Ichigo's lips touched Hiro's. However, when the Franxx didn't move, Ichigo spoke these words. It sounds like he's saying this to Hiro, and also to himself, about how clumsy he is.

Goro's famous quote when he made up his mind

When Zorome gets lost in the city and comes into contact with an adult who helps him, he speaks these words with a sense of nostalgia, as if he's known the adult for a long time, while shedding tears. Parasites have never known parents since childhood, but perhaps blood ties are inseparable. These lines are imbued with Zorome's painful memories and thoughts, as he senses this.

Miku's Slightly Embarrassing Quotes

Forgiving Miku

"So I'll forgive you if you do it a little."

Children who have reached adolescence begin to become conscious of boys and girls and may find themselves looking at them in a perverted way. Disgusted by this, the girls decided to distance themselves from the boys, but gradually they made up. Miku, however, was the only one who could not forgive them. When she found out that all of the previous parasites had died and would not return, she said these words to Zorome as she made up with him: ``Does that mean it's okay to look at them with lustful eyes for a little while?''

Mitsuru's Famous Quotes Expressing His Feelings

These are the words Mitsuru spoke to Kokoro, who was feeling down. At first, Mitsuru didn't consider other people's feelings and didn't try to form deep relationships with others, but he begins to develop feelings for Kokoro. This line shows how he truly cares about Kokoro, whom he has fallen in love with, and how he wants to cherish her.

A quote filled with Kokoro's sadness and regret for the future

Kokoro questions Mitsuru

"Is creating life a bad thing? Shouldn't we think about the future?"

These are the words Mitsuru spoke while encouraging Kokoro. Kokoro becomes interested in the reproductive function that humans naturally possess, and realizes that she too can leave something behind for the future. However, when she is completely rejected by 9'α and left shocked and depressed, Mitsuru, who has feelings for her, appears and speaks to her with words filled with a mixture of anguish and regret.

A quote that captures Futoshi's previously unrecognized feelings

These are the words of Futoshi, who cares about Kokoro above all else. Futoshi and Kokoro were originally a pair, but Kokoro, sensing Mitsuru's troubles, volunteered to switch pairs. However, as anger wells up inside her at Mitsuru for not caring about her, her words are a mixture of jealousy and sadness as Kokoro grows distant from her.

A Famous Quote That Reads Ikuno's Cold Atmosphere

Ikuno is a girl with the same mindset as Mitsuru, and tries not to get too close to others. She visits the beach with a parasite from her unit, but is reading a book alone on the sand. That's when Mitsuru spoke to her and spoke these words. Perhaps Ikuno is being considerate, knowing that appearing bored even when playing would create a bad atmosphere.
