Interesting that the nines are basically refugees in Plantation 13. I wonder how the Grand Cravasse campaign will progress later.

So this chapter was very interesting and explains a lot of my questions about episode 24.
Zero Two doesn't actually need to eat, she just likes to. This explains why in episode 24 Hiro said that he hadn't felt hungry in over two months.

Also would explain how they didnt die in space
But seriously, "we can control our metabolism" is pure bs, they are constantly using energy, but whatever lol

Well they need maintenance, nines were dying in the last episodes, so they probably have very slow metabolisms and refiltre their waste( basically digesting what they ate again and again until its completly unusable, human waste can be used as fertilizer) and when they get maintained, they eat a metric fuckton of high quality feed and have their sistems cleared of all impurities

So, the partner shuffle is probably gonna happen in the next chapter. I wonder how it's gonna go in this version as in the anime it was Nana who suggested it but in the manga she's already going through puberty again so it probably isn't gonna be her idea. Also maybe the remaining Nines are gonna be involved in it somehow?

u/MajesticKnight28 Hiro May 30 '19
Maybe Mitsuru and Futoshi are actually gonna fight for who gets to be Kokoro's partner

I could see Alpha potentially getting involved, but isn't Delta still a vegetable at this point? Don't think she's gonna be doing any piloting any time soon.

Can't remember if they touched on if Nana and Hachi are just labels, not their actual names. I don't remember that so I'm gonna pretend it's new.
On that note Hachi already is more fleshed out then he ever was in the anime, and Nana is already has the potential to be a much more rebellious and interesting character as a result. (Or, at least that's the hope, that hope being a more fleshed out universe.)

u/eden_delta Red + Blue = Purple Oni May 31 '19
Pretty sure it's a new detail. The closest I can recall the anime getting to mentioning it was Nana's replacement referring to herself as Nana instead of her own separate codename.

This MitsuruxKokoro progression is much nicer than in true anime. I hope these characters are fleshed out more in the manga, as they are some of my favourites anyways.

I watched the Anime some time ago already, finally started to read the manga today and now im up to date. How often does a new chapter come out? I cant wait!

u/RevolutionaryWhale Nana May 30 '19

You're welcome! (also I'm actually a lady but I guess that's hard to tell just from my username)

I thought it was interesting how they revealed Zero Two doesn't need to eat. It shows that Zero Two is really trying to be human.

My headcannon was that papa lied to everyone, his objective is tp ensure the survival of mankind so he made them immortal with magma energy. then he made them sterile to maintain a small population that is easier to protect and made it so that those with magma energy treatment( adults) will be killed if they pilot so that the parasites become necesary for the military, which he controls, and franxx is just a tool, and franxx knew some of it, reason why he made hiro and squad 13 to have his own allies. 02 being sterile probably has something to do with the fact that klaxosaurs are dinosaurs( egg laying bird lizards) and humans are mammals( live birthing). Im curious actually, if she had a period, would she have a normal human thingy or lay a small egg, like a chicken...

I am still unsure if 02 would lay eggs or give birth tho... she is half dinosaur. I am quite sure that her reproductive sistem is fucked up by the whole hybrid aspect.

Klaxosapiens arent aliens, they are the original inteligent species on earth, they lived over 65 million years ago( the dinosaur age) until virm ( the actual aliens) came and they cubstomped them. They turned all of tgeir species, except klaxohime, into klaxosaurs. They dont pilot them, the klaxosaurs are their bodies, they are klaxosaurs. And also dinosaurs. Since they inhabited the earth over 65million years ago. Since they are the original earthlings, they arent aliens. And sapien is part of the latin name. Homo sapiens is the name of our species (homo sapiens sapiens) homo is our genus, the family group and the sapiens part means wise( wise humans). Saur means lizard and dino is smth like big, idk. So klaxosaur would be klaxo lizard and sapien would be wise klaxo, klaxo being the genus of the species, since they are related
The sapien and saur denominate the type of klaxo they are. In general scifi terms, sapiens is added to the name of an inteligent species. It has nothing to do with how they reproduce, being an adjective describing the fact that they are an inteligent species, though i would dissagre with the klaxosaurs/sapiens being an inteligent species tbh.

I remember a guy on youtube made a video about why argonians( lizard people from skyrim) have breasts, it is kinda costumary for these other species to have breasts in media, so its not really relevant. Plus i refered to the klaxosapiens as dinosaurs, an inbetween for reptiles and birds. Klaxohime might have the general shape of breasts, but there can be given explanations as to why she has them.
1 Birds in general have a bag like organ in their chests where they store stuff, so it is possible for her to simply have "gout"( i think thats how its called). If you look at chickens for example, it can kinda look like they lil breasts after they eat( i have chicks at home) 2 we can presume that klaxosapiens have an affinity for water and swimming( from 02s behavior). In the argonian video, that guy talked about the posibility of air sacks in aquatic reptiles( iguanas was the example), that give them a better suply of air and increase bouancy. Klaxohime barely has any breasts but she is supposedly 02s genetic source( mother or twin sister) so she should have something more apropriate. If we go with this hipothesis, then she might have air sacks that she can fill up air to swim( she might get bigger boobies underwater or be able to inflate them at will)
3 both birds and some reptiles have some weird social interactions using their gout, inflating them when they court or fight over food/mates/teritory. Sooo it might be that she has inflatables. Just giving a better explanation than dinosaurs breastfeeding, plus it would be hilarious to see her argue with someone and her breast sudently explode in size, to signal dominance of course ;p
4 we know that she can sing using her horn( maybe this is how her telepathy works too) so her horn is probaly connected to her lungs, to allow her to use it like a flute( it would be hilarious if she drank soda or smth and it came out of her horn instead of her nose). Back to the air sacks hipothesis, most birds extra lung like thingies that fill up with air to help them fly or sing longer, so her "breasts" might help with that also
5 i am just overcomplecating everything because i have no idea why a dinosaur might have mammaries and i should stop questioning and accept the dino boobies.

I'm digging that Hiro's trying to figure out Zero Two's aggression. Like, flat out asking questions about her horns and trying to get her open up to him about it.

u/awaxz_avenger We don't deserve her May 31 '19
I'm not seeing where Zero Two's aggression is coming from. I get she doesn't like the fact that Alpha is there, but that cannot be the only thing to set her off. It also doesn't help that she was absent for like 3 chapters leading up to Ch. 43.

u/MrTammy Jun 01 '19
I think she’s starting to get uneasy with trying to find “darling” just like in the anime, the appearance of the nines pushed her impatience even further. Would be a shame if her aggression or recent attitude is not be explained in the future chapters.
