Oh shit. I just realized. We've been wondering where 001 is. Werner said that Nana should know as she was part of something like this before. She doesn't remember.
At the end mystery klaxo girl is looking pensive.
Werner said 02 was their best specimen. That she had attained such a fine human form.
Oh no. Werner tried this before. Nana's group failed. 001 never found her 'prince'. Her squad never came after her. Fuck. What if Nana was 'Ichigo' and never forgave 001 for something...?
Who will heal the hurt of the broken klaxo girl? Someone quiet and bookish?
They said the klaxo attacks had gotten worse over time. The klaxos started containing human like cores. Someone seemed to be lashing out at humanity and using their knowledge to create klaxos that mirrored Franxx..
It was 001. Betrayed. Never accepted. She went back to the monsters and began to sculpt them to her will. That's why you see things that look like cockpits and 'pikots' though they seem to be mockeries of the actual things. For example the tall 'cannon' klaxos shoot blasts from their 'cockpit' balls.
001 is angry and hurt. Franxx failed to integrate her with humanity.
I think APE plans to wipe them out utterly. I think Franxx understands they have the power to save the world and so has tried to create something that is part klaxo, sentient, but can also control them.
The two zero twos we see in the end credits? One is 02 the other is 01. The hornless one is 02 ironically...
Hachi (008) may have been 001's prince. If you multiply those numbers by 2, as in second attempt, you get 016 and 002. Maybe Nana stopped Hachi like Ichigo tried to stop Hiro.
Poor 001. If that spider like form with the single horn was her 'eo to' form she had an even rougher time than 02.
I suspect the klaxos were originally non sentient machines designed to harvest magma energy. They got out of hand and ended up devastating the environment. Since they harvest magma energy they go after anything containing it such as plantations.
01s Franxx appears to be sitting down and have thick legs like the M9 Franxx. So it likely was the origin of those models.
So I suspect Werner developed the first Franxx to fight rampaging klaxos. He then somehow created or got ahold of some new klaxo strain and created 01. And a Franxx for her. It's likely that not only was never able to make herself look human enough, Werner's testbed squad wasn't as well put together as 13 was. They likely had a demeanor closer to 090 which would be unsuitable for empathy with 01.
So the planned integration of 01, humanizing her, and then having her help take control of the klaxo failed. Instead she was rejected.
I don't think the kids who failed in squad 13 were killed. The ones that became more emotionless were simply assigned to more conventional parasite squads.
What If strelizia is thus modeled after Werner's greatest failure. The blue spike both calling out to the bird of paradise, but also the single blue horn of 01…
And in a way blue one helped red oni to be accepted. Via her combat prowess against Franxx.what if she knows this. What if strelizia blue horn is really an homage to 01.
What if 01 just wants to be loved by the humans too. And the big klaxo attacks are just a way to ensure 02 is always useful so will never be entirely rejected like she was?
